TO EXTINGUISH OIL FLAMES
New Method Of Putting Out Fire
Where Petroleum, Gasoline and
Other Liquids Are Involved.

The attempt to extinguish fires by
water where petroleum, gasoline. ben
zine or other liquid hydrocarbons
lighter than water are involved usu.
ally results in the spreading of the in.
fammable liquid, an increase in the
area OF combustion and a greater in
tensity of conflagration. A new meth
cd of extinguishing such fires is now
advocated, the means employed being
tenacious foam which clings to the
. burning liquids and cuts off the SUD
ply OF air necessary to- maintain com
bustion, thus extinguishing the flame.
The apparatus employed consists of
simple metal cylinder, provided with
long spout and divided into two
chambers. One chamber is charged
with an aqueous solutions Of potash.
alum and sodium sulphate the other
with similar solution Of sodium bi.
carbonate, sodium sulphate anil licor-
ice root extract.
One successful test of the apparatus
was the hlling Of an iron vessel So
by ~ rect I'm size, and four in deptb.
with lS gallons OF benzine the ground
also being saturated This was lighted
and allowed to burn for three minutes.
The contents Of two foam extingulsh.
ers we're then allowed to flow over the
whole and combustion was promptly
arrested. The layer Of foam was re-
moved the benzine lighted again and
an attempt was made to extinguish
the flame with water from two-inch
hose. instead Of extingulshing the
flame, tie water increased the area Of
Combustion

BY seeding grass seed in the fall
the seeds Of weeds as well as those

frost will then kill the terminated
weed seeds and not hurt the germi-
mated grass seeds.
In this manner weeds that might
otherwise do positive injury to young
grass are put out of the way alto

II must be remembered that grass
seed and cereal grain seed will germi-
nate and grow at much lower temper

weeds.
Those weed seeds not terminating

BENEFITS DERIVED
BY FALL SEEDING
Many Injurious Weeds Are
Destroyed by Planting Grass
Crop An FaII-By w. Hanson.

There are farmers everywhere who
cling most tenaciously to- the notion
that fall seeding of grass with fall
grains is best: that they obtain a bet
ter stand and better yield of hay
than from spring seeding.
This fact suggests that the business
Of farming is not one of absolute but
of relative achievement. The kind of
soil. lay OF land and condition OF
weather. all these operate seriously as
20 results.
What may be successfully carried
out in one locality. one field, will not
do In another locality and in another
field.
The fact that frequently better and
more hay may be secured through fan
than through spring seeding in some
eases may be attributed TO the follow
.ng reasons:
1t may happen that the soil is OF
.oose texture and is easily worked;
une that otherwise cannot long retain
moisture in the early summer and in
times OF drought; where burning of
Of spring-sown grass might follow, and
where location of field is such that m
the winter the snow will evenly cover
it. thus preventing it from freezing
and heaying out
When grass seed is sown upon early
plowed grass sod the autumn-even
very late--is a better time for seeding
than the spring.
At a season when rains are fire.
quent there will not be as much rea-
son to bring the sod into good capil-
larry action as there would be in the
spring. at a time when the young
plants are forced to depend in a
great measure on the store of moist
ure that the land has accumulated dur
ing the winter.

Life Of Asparaaus Beds.

How long will the asparagus bed
last? a suburban market gardener
says he has large bed about 20
years old which has about run out
The roots have grown a thick mass
all over the field, says the New Eng.
land Homestead. The rows of sprouts
have widened until 1t is difficult to
cultivate at all and the stalks have
become small. Repeated losses by
winter killing have left large gaps i'm
some places. To renoyate such a field
Is a hopeless job and to kill out the
asparagus is almost equally difficult.
Perhaps the easiest way 20 reclaim
the land will be to chop up the surface
with a wheel harrow and SOW TO oats
and barley. followed by rye Il will
take several seasons TO kill out the
plants. It may be said here that an
asparagus bed will last much longer
than 20 years If the plants are set in
wider rows and farther apart i'm the
row. Plants which have pleaty o.
rsom for their roots will send up large
sprouts when so years old I'm land well

mentioned the plants were crowded

less than four feet between the rows

that unless the stumpage value for
longleaf pine advances considerably,

REFORESTATION OF PINE
LANDS IN THE SOUTH
RENEWAL OF Timber Depends Essentially Upon
CONSERVATIVE laundering and Adequate
Fire

The yellow pines Of the eastern and
southern states are being cut at the
rate OF 1900. 900. 900 board feet a
year. The total stand at this time is
approximately 4O0.OOo.0O0. 900 board
feet
One discouraging condition on cut.
ever lands in the southern states is
the lack, for various causes, of ade-
quate young growth. Much Of the
cut-over land has grown up to scrub
oaks with very little widely scattered
pine reproduction. A realization of
these unfavorable conditions is be.
coming apparent all through the
south, and there is manifest inter
est In reforesting such lands.
Successful renewal of southern pine
forest lands depends essentially up
on conservative numbering and ade-
quate protection from fire. The prob
lem of fire protection. however. is both
serious and a difficult one.
Reforestation of southern pine
lands can probably be effected by di-
rect seeding. but such efforts would
Ceredo advance. [volume] (Ceredo, W. Va.) 1885-1939, 1909-09-29

prove futile unless the lands were
protected against fire. The Forest
Service has made plans for several
private landowners and companies in
the south for direct sowing of pine
seed on the permanent sites Because
of the more rapid growth of loblolly
rIne II is preferred where the soil and
moisture conditions are favorable.
The feasibility of establishing loblolly
pine plantations by sowing broadcast,
on prepared ground, has been deter
mined by experiments and by observa-
ton on the natural reseeding of this
tree on abandoned fields. The perpet-
uation of loblolly pine on sites suited
to it is therefore not matter of much
concern. But there are vast areas
on which the less exacting but slower
growing longleaf pine is the only one
that will thrive. Artificial regenera-
ton of longleaf pine, either by sowing
seed or by transplanting seedlings, is
still in the experimental stage. Long
leaf pine seedlings grow very slowly
