Level Fields and
How to Get Them

One of the greatest factors which
affect farm crops and farm operations
is the form of the surface of the land.
An uneven surface not only makes ma
chinery work with greater difficulty.
but causes the crop to be spotted. due
to uneven supply of moisture and fer

water. which carries with 1t the read

face is more nearly level the manure
will stay more evenly distributed and
there will be less areas suffer for the
want of the moisture which helped to
drown out the crop In other parts Of
the field during the rainy season.
Leveling can best be done while Mt
ting the land for wheat. or In the
spring when 1t is best prepared for
beans. Any other time will do, as
well provided the surface of the field
Is loose to depth Of several inches
and the season Is not too busy.

successful, and the one illustrated

Cultivation and Pruning
of the BrambleS
By o. l. GREGG, Assistant HorticuIturist
Michigan Agricultural College

It is a common practice to keep the
cultivator going until late In July In
corn and beans, but many and in fact
most farmers and small fruit growers
do not think it necessary to pay much
attention to the cultivation of the
brambles. The most successful grow.
ers. however, cultivate them up to
picking time and then cultivate the
ground after every picking, thus maxi
ing and keeping the soil mulch which
is so necessary in order to utilize all
of the soil water to the very best ad-
vantage. Continue this cultivation un-
til about the first of August. then dis
continue 1t, as It Is necessary to stop
the rapid growth In order for the
canes to become well matured before
winter SO that they will not be so apt
to freeze back. Some growers place
the rows far enough apart-nine or
ten feet-so that disk harrow can
be used with two horses throughout
the season.
Pruning Of the brambles differs not
only with the kind but also with va
rieties, but generally speaking the
new growths of black raspberries and
purple cane raspberries should be
tipped as soon as they reach q
height OF two to two and one-half
feet. even though 1t is necessary to do
1t picking time. This causes the side
branches to develop quickly and gives
them q longer time to make strong
side shoots. The black raspberry
should-Se tipped as soon as It reaches
q height Of IS inches to two feet.
The young shoots of the red rasp-
berry should not be touched until the
following spring, then all shoots of all
branches should be cut back to the
point where the shoot begins to curve
toward the ground. Many growers
put on pruning out the old fruit canes
until the spring pruning, but this IL
a wrong practice. The old canes Of
all kinds of brambles should be taken
out just as soon as the canes have
stopped fruiting. In fact some grow.
ers have them nearly all removed BY
the time the pickers are through the
last time. These old canes II allowed
to remain simply spread disease, take
up room and shade the young growths.
These old canes harbor insect pests
and they are the ones most apt to
have Anthracnose. = disease which

The alfalfa seeding season, which
and continues until early summer,
has been more extensive than In any
previous year. During this time the
Agricultural college has sent out
1928 nitro-inoculating cultures to as
many different farms, where fields of
from one to twenty acres have been
started. Many fields have been sown
Of which the. college has no record.
The experiment station has distrib-
uted during the year more than $4,000
circulars and bulletins on alfalfa cul-
ture, and the extension department
has organized sixty-six alfalfa clubs.
with combined membership Of $50.
These alfalfa clubs are organized
wherever ten or more farmers agree
to grow one or more acres. The or
ganization Of these clubs makes It
possible for q representative Of the
college to hold an evening conference
with the alfalfa growers and to go
with them to the farms the next day
to select suitable fields and give spe-
cial instructions for planting, etc.
There clubs are widely distributed
throughout the state, being located
in forty-two counties. eleven Of which
are in the upper peninsula.
The alfalfa fields In various parts
Of the state which we're started In
previous years are reported as doing
well and producing quantities of fod-
der, which has no equal in point OF
nutritive value and palatibility.

rotted stable manure and nitrate Of
potash placed in the burrows.
The plants taken from the seed
bed should be set about eight inches
apart In the row and great care
should be observed in placing the
roots IN their natural position without
crushing and doubling them up. The
soil then must be drawn firmly about
the plants and all weeds must be kept
down. Under good conditions celery
plants grow very rapidly. Soon after
the plants are well started. they
should be given light application Of
nitrate Of soda and another about two
weeks later; this Is all they will need
until they have reached the proper
growth.
Celery Is bleached in several ways.
but the best practice for the farm is
to place the plants In trench about
twelve inches deep and twelve inches
wide. The plants are taken up with
