We can help the soil to become
warm in the spring, then, by doing all
that we can to check evaporation. Did
you ever notice how quickly the sur
face Of a wet field became dry after it
had been narrowed? This Is because
stirring and loosening the soil stops
the water from coming up from be-
low. The water in the loose upper
layer soon evaporates, and after that
the heat is used In warming the soil
instead Of turning the water into va
por. OF course II we are not going to
allow the surplus water to be given OF
BY evaporation we must provide tile
drains and bitches to carry It away.
We shall study more about drainage
and the movement Of water through,
the soil in another article.

TO ERADICATE THE MOSQUITO
German Government Experimenting
with Water-PIant to Kill lnfec-
ton Carrying Pest.

Under the heading "a Vegetable
Observation-Disclosures the Municipal
Journal and Engineer of New York
published the following article:
1.-THE effort to eliminate malaria by
exterminating the mosquitoes which
are credited with transporting the
germs, is by M means confined to the
United States and Cuba. The German
government has been carrying on
operations along this same line, and
is now investigating the practicability
of importing into it's colonies he wa
%ter-plant known as a~rzolla, which
plant is semi-tropical and owes such
efficacy as it may have in mosquito
determination to the fact that it com
pletely covers, the water in which 1t
grows to a thickness of over two
inches, thus suffocating the mosquito
larvae and preventing the deposit OF
egg in the water. AS this is a semi.
tropical plant, it is probable that it
would not thrive in the northern part
of this country. If any ideas are en-
tertained of testing its virtues in the
southern states, we trust that the ex'
p~erience of a few years ago with the
water hyacinth in southern waters
will not be forgotten. 1t will be re-
membered that within a few years
after the introduction of this water
plant it had spread so abundantly as
to almost entirely interrupt navfga'
ton in certain rivers. Should the
arzolla take kindly to our southern
waters and spread over them a con-
tinuous layer of two or three inches OF
vegetation the result would certainly
be disastrous. Until the existence or
otherwise of this danger has been es-
tablished, p~recaution should be taken
by the government against the intro
duction of any plant which offers such
possibilities of becoming a serious
pest"

Vain Sacrifice

Apropos of examinations and their terrors,
A. E.. Palmer, secretary of the department OF
education of New York, told at a recent din
ner an odd story of a young African prince.
"This prince" said Mr.. Palmer, entered
Yale or Harvard forget which-and amused
himself with motor cars and bulldogs till ex-
animation time drew near.
Examination time frightened the young
prince horribly. He began to study and he
cabled home to the king, his father:
Examinations next week. Most difficult.
Implore aid of gods in my behalf
"A few days later this reply came back
from the barbarous west coast monarch:
".Rites performed. Fourteen picked youths,
all sons of mobiles, have been sacrificed. Omens
propitious.'
"Yet, would you believe it," Mr.. Palmer
concluded. "The young prince fiunked.'

Large Root Crops.

While not possessing a high feeding
value as shown by a chemists table,
yet their succulence and the laxative
effect which comes from feeding
roots on the digestive organs OF a COW.
makes them a most desirable feed,
says the Maine Farmer. 1t is possible
here in Maine to grow from five hun
bred bushels to n thousand bushels
to the acre. For several years past we
have grown an acre to an acre and a
half each of mangel wurtzels and ruta-
bagas.
The mangels are planted in drills
three feet apart on clean, light land, as
early in the spring as possible, using
about six pounds of seed to the acre.
AS soon as they are nicely up the beets
are thinned to four or five inches apart
in the row. The r~utabagas need not
be sown so early and only two or three
pounds of seed be used to the acre.
If the land is clean, very little hand Ia
Dor is required. Harvested late in the
fall just before the ground freezes.
and stored in cool cellars, they make
a valuable and cheap feed to supple
ment dry hay and grain during the
winter,

New Method of Keeping Potatoes

Consul General Richard Guenther OF
Frankfort reports that a German pub
LEGATION, the practical Adviser in
Fruit Raising and Gardening" states
that a new method for keeping pota-
toes and preventing %sprouting con-
sists in placing them on a layer of
coke. DR.. Schiller of Brunswick, who
has published the method, is of the
opinion that the improved ventilation
by means Of coke is not alone respon-
sible for the result, but believes that
it is due to the oxidation of the coke,
which, however, is a very slow one.
Coke always contains sulphur, and it
is very possible that the minute guam
titles of oxides of carbon and sulphur,
which result from the oxidation, mix
ing with the air and penetrating
among the potatoes are sufficient to
greatly retard sprouting. Potatoes so
treated are said to keep in good condi-
ton until the following July.

AID THE FARMERS
congressman Meet State Agents
Of Cooperative Demonstration.
Government ~Appropriates Money for
Educational Work In the Southern
States-Prepare for Appear
ance Of Boil WeeviIi.

Representatives Clayton, Hefiin and
Dent met the other day at DR.. knapp's
office in Washington with the state
agents of the farmers co-opera-
tive demonstration work. This work Is
| carried on under the supervision OF DR..
Knapp and this meeting was composed
of agents representing IL southern
states. The object of the work is to
improve farming conditions in these
| states. Demonstration is made in yari-
Gus sections to show how results may
be increased by improved methods.
The various reports showed that the
work is accomplishing wonderful re-
suits.
Heretofore Alabama has depended
for this work upon contributions from
the educational board, but beginning
with the first of September next the
government appropriations will apply
there.
This work has been done in some
portions of districts represented by
the congressman who attended the
meeting, and they asked for and were
assured of an increase of the work in
| each of their districts.
Each congressman expressed hearty
approval of and sympathy with the
work. Representative Clayton asked
for and obtained the services of two
lecturers to attend the farmers insti-
tutes to be held at Columbia, Houston
county, August 4, 5 and 6. Mr.. Wilson,
who has charge of this work in Ala
bama, said that the boil weevil is now
about 80 miles from the west line of
Alabama, and that it travels at the rate
of 35 to 40 miles a year. At this rate
1t will soon appear in that state, and
will possibly be doing damage in the
next three years.
He is ~endeavoring with much III
cess to prepare the farmer for it's ap-
p%earance. He says the first year of
the weevil is generally the worst, be-
cause the farmers become panic
stricken. He is trying to prevent a
panic and have the farmer prepared to
meet the condition when it arrives.
Mr.. Evans, who has charge Of the
work in Louisiana and Arkansas, said
the boil weevil had not been an un-
mixed evil; that the farmer, to meet
the condition, has intensified his farm
ing and diversified his crop. By this
means he is raising other crops to sup
port himself and family and feed his
live stock and raising about as much
cotton upon a very much smaller acre
age. He said that, as a result of this
demonstration work, Louisiana this
year would raise all the corn that she
needed for home consumption, and
that is the drst time in her whole his
tory that this has been done. The
methods of combating the weevil, in
brief, are the picking off of the first to
appear and the gathering up and burn
ing off of all dead squares in which the
eggs have been deposited; and i'm
proved, intensive cultural methods.
The congressman say that they ex-
pect to have reports of these state
agents gathered and printed this fall.
They will then be ready to distribute
them to their constituents.

Harvest Plenty of Roughness.

You all remember the story of the
school boy who said there were two
seasons, one the season of planting
and the other OF picking. We are now
rapidly approaching the season of pick
ing, so far as the crop of roughness is
concerned. BY roughness, it is aimed
to include all hay crops and any crop
of fodder or other forage usually fed
to stock through the winter, says Mis-
souri, Valley Farmer.
Feed of all kinds was scarce last
spring. Grain was exceptionally SO
and on many farms where the corn
crop could have been made to yield
an abundance of roughness for the
mere work Of putting it in shock, stock
lived through the spring months on a
short ration of roughness. The long
and short of it was this, many farmers
concluded they had enough of such
feed and quit harvesting long before
they really had. As a gentle reminder.
mentioned when timely, be sure to put
up enough this year.

of the lower seat must be bevelled in
the opposite direction from the main
part of the seat so that the water will
not run into the joint and rot the
post. Instead of using old pipe for
reinforcement as suggested | would
put the bolts right through the pipe
and not use wooden plugs, a smooth
pipe would have little value as a re-
enforcement for concrete, and the
strain being t~ransversely of the post
the reinforcement should be put in
vertically and should consist of twist
ed iron or steel rods, or even the
twisted and serrated fence band or
tape would be of more value than a
smooth piece of iron of any kind.
