HARDY CATALPA BEST FENCE
POST TREE GROWN IN IOWA
Gross Annual Return Per Year Per Acre Iowa Plantations Va.
res From $1077 to $20.34-Hardy catalpa Only Spe-
ces Successfully Grown in State.

That the hardy catalpa is one OF the
best fence post trees that can be
grown In Iowa, is the conclusion
reached by the Iowa experiment sta.
ton. They can be grown anywhere
In the state except In the extreme
northern and northwestern parts.
Eighteen-year-old trees that have
been properly cared for will yield
from 1000 to $500 posts to the acre.
The gross annual return per acre per
year on the Iowa plantations studied
varied from s10.77 to s2o.34. Catalpa
posts rank next to Usage orange and
red cedar in durability. provided that
they are cut before they become in
fected with fungi. and are properly
seasoned.
Catalpas should be cut by the time
they are eighteen or twenty years old.
II left longer they are liable to be-
come infected with a fungus which
in a short time makes them worthless.
For this reason they do not make sat
isfactory poles. as they are not large
enough by the time they must be
cut. Another objection to catalpas for
pole production is that the trunks
never grow exactly straight.
The hardy catalpa Is the only spe-
Giles that can be successfully grown In
Iowa. The common catalpa. which has
sometimes been substituted for 1t with
unsatisfactory results, can be distin-
guished from the hardy species by diff
ferences In the bark and seeds. Hardy
catalpa seeds are very wide with a
broad brush of hairs at each end and
fringe Of hairs along one side Seeds
OF the common catalpa are much mar
rover. with narrow pointed brush
OF hairs at each end. Hardy catalpa
seed pods are to 20 inches long, with
thick. strong walls. There are sell
dom more than three in a cluster.
Common catalpa seed pods are 6 to
IS inches long. with thin walls. From
to is pods grow in cluster. The
bark on old stems of hardy catalpa Is
deeply furrowed. but never peels on
in scales. That of common cataJpe
Is thin and light, falling OF In light
scales, but 1t Is never deeply fur
rowed.
Catalpa seed should be sown as
soon as the danger Of frost is past.
Sow in broad burrows at the rate OF
35 or 40 seeds to the foot, and cover
one-half inch deep. For extensive
planting In the permanent grove one
year-old seedlings are most satisfac-
tory. Only No. or No. 2 seedlings
should be used.
Good corn soil is best for catalpas.
They will grow on any Iowa soil with
the exception Of gumbo. light sandy,
or poorly drained soils. A thoroughly
prepared seed bed is essential to sue
cess.
The trees may be set out at any
time from the time the soil Is work
able in the spring until the leaves be-
gin to unfold. Trees should not be
spaced farther apart than by 8, or
heavy growth of side branches will
result. and the ground will not be suf-
ficiently shaded to prevent heavy
growth Of grass and weeds. A sat
isfactory plan is to space the trees
by feet and cut out every other

MAKING WALKS FOR FARM
"Tarvia," After Thorough Trial, Has
Been Found Best and Cheap
est Material.

"Tarvia" walks, although of recent
origin. are sure to gain In popularity
with the farmer. They are just as
serviceable as cement sidewalks and
at the same time cost about one-tenth
as much.
A good walk is a necessity about
the farm home. because It adds to
the convenience and cleanliness of the
place. The old style of board walk
is difficult to maintain in repair. the
cinder path keeps mother continually
scrubbing and sweeping. while the
Gifted cement is almost too expen-
sive for the ordinary farmer. Ten
cents a square foot is too much to pay
for a walk when an equally suitable
one can be constructed for ten cents
a square yard.
The name Tarvia is applied to a
certain class of walks from the fact
that its construction is of gravel and
tar. Common coal tar Is the grade
used. and can be obtained from coke
or gas companies at about five cents
a gallon. The gravel used is Of three
sizes, coarse. medium and fine. This
can be obtained at the neighboring
gravel pit.
The method of constructing the
walk is very simple. as all that Is
necessary Is to decide on the width,
and then remove the dirt to depth
OF seven or eight inches. A good
foundation o. coal ashes is tamped In.
and on top of this is placed two
inches Of coarse gravel Another two
inches Of medium-sized gravel is
placed on top OF this and the whole
packed down.
Before applying the tar II should
be boiled In an iron kettle to drive of
the lighter oils. An old watering can
with short spout is excellent for
pouring on the hot liquid. The tar is
applied hot and all crevices in the
gravel are filled. In this process II
will take about one gallon and half
to cover an area OF one square yard.
The fine gravel and sand is then sift-
ed on top. packed smoothly, and
within an hour the walk is ready for
use.
Simple and economical though this
type of construction is. still 1t will
stand comparison with the more cost.
ly types. Tarvia is without an equal
for all ordinary purposes. It's special
advantage is that It has rough sur.
face and Is never slippery In wet
weather. Ice does not form on II
readily and. therefore. its use on steep
slopes is highly satisfactory. There is
no excuse for poor walks about the
farm house. when such one as de-
scribed can be built SO cheaply.-T. J,
Nancy.
