Bermuda Grass

Please advise how to keep Bermuda

land Leo Becker Pittsburg County.
Replying to your inquiry with regard
to the control of Bermuda grass in or.
der that 1t may not take possession of
valuable lands to the exclusion of other
crops, will say that there is no danger
from this source If properly managed
In the first place, Bermuda belongs
on the hillsides, on the thin uplands
and places generally where washing Is
likely to take place. It is not a rota.
ton crop to be grown on the regular
fields as part of rotation system.
You will recognize this from the fact
that 1t is propagated by roots or sods
keeping from the seed. There is No
difficulty about keeping it out OF your
cultivated fields so long as you are
careful not to let it get over the line
This is very easily done. However.
should 1t be in possession Of some of
your rich garden spots you can eradi.
cate it by simply plowing II during
the long summer drouth Just deem
enough to expose the root system To
the hot sun and keep 1t narrowed. thus
drying it out and if necessary. burn.
ing 1t. Any plant that is not allowed
to come in contact with the soil moist
ure and the air will not be able TO live
and even in small patches you can
eradicate 1t by smothering 1t out: that
is. take heavy deep mulch and cover
the place over, which will finally cause
it to die.

Limber Neck in Poultry

Please give us a remedy for the disease
OF poultry known as timber neck.--Kiowa
Mineral Springs Company. Caddo County.
The remedy for the disease known
as timber neck is to remove the cause.
Timber neck is usually caused by the
eating Of decayed animal food of some
kind; II may be either flesh or bone.
Often times If the birds are getting a
large quantity of green cut bone when
the weather is very warm, the green
cut bone becomes putrid or decayed
and what is known as ptomaine poison.
Ing or something of similar nature
causes the birds to have the timber
neck. II you are sure that your birds
have had no decayed animal matter of
any kind or green cut bone, perhaps
you have been feeding too rich a food
for this warm weather. So far as
comes to my knowledge there is no
cure for timber neck, and when il oc.
curs in a flock an effort should be
made to remove the cause so that no
more birds will become affected with
the disease.-B. o. Bittenbender. De-
partment of Animal Husbandry, Okla.

Do you know how winter oats will do

Brentnall, Pawnee County, Oklahoma.
Winter oats have done very well
with u on the average of about every
other year. They are not a safe crop,
and are not considered equal to wheat
or winter rye for winter pasture. The
best winter oats are the Winter Turf,
and seed may be secured from seed
companies. | know of no producer
az this time who has seed for sale. IL
you get some variety of wheat to
plant we would advise the Karkof va
riety. If you cannot secure this, a
good, pure strain of Turkey Red
should be very satisfactory.-O. o.

Falling of Tomato Blossoms

am sending you specimen OF tomato
buds and would like your opinion as 10
the cause Of the blossoms falling off as
you will sea- NJ. Clark. Ellis County.
The difficulty has been prevalent in
Oklahoma for a number of years. but
appears to have become worse during
the last few seasons. The Station
here has been conducting an investi.
CATION of the cause OF this disorder.
and while we are not ready as yet to
announce anything definite, we are
strongly of the opinion that there is
no disease, but that the abnormal con-
dition is due to the very dry air, and
also in a minor degree to a high TEN
perature. Complaints are particularly
numerous when we have hot winds
from the Southwest as we had during
the early part of this season. At such
times ii seems as though the tomato
plants, even though the ground is
moist, cannot get enough moisture up
from below into the leaves. This af.
fects the blossoms and prevents their
fertili2ing. Tomato blossoms and all
blossoms of this class II they fail TO
fertilize drop or at the joint which
you will always find on the stem of the
blossom.

Grape Juice

Please advise how 20 put up grape iuics
80 as TO keep Il sweet.-1hOs GvOydanO-
vie' Kay County. Oklahoma
The following directions have proven
satisfactory for making grape Juice:
All containers should be sterilized in
boiling water before use. To two and
half pounds of grapes, without stems
add one pint Of water and cook until
soft, then strain well. Add one pound
OF sugar to the Juice and boil for five
minutes. Bottle and seal. Grape Juice
may be made by the so-called cold pro.
cess by adding one gallon Of sugar
TO each gallon Of juice. See that the
bottles are perfectly clean and well
sealed when filled, as in the previous
method. Both methods will make
Juice which should be diluted with
water TO test before serving. A small
piece of lemon may be served with
each glass.-C. X Francis, Chemist,

GOOD TO LEAVE HAIR ALONE
Rarely Does II Pay to Seek to I'm.

Ordained.

After all. would advise no one to
change the color of the hair, though II
be as black as Erebus. Nature gives
each face the framework most suit.
able to It. She never needs correc-
tion on that point.
Why not dress the hair to suit the
face, no matter what is the prevail.
ing fashion?
Hair should be allowed to grow gray
naturally. All dyes destroy the beauty
and color OF the hair. Let us grace
fully accept the snowy locks OF age.

RIBBONS MAY BE WASHED
And, as Most Mothers VIII Aaree,
There is Considerable Economy
In the Plan.

When there are several schoolgirl
daughters in the family the expendi
ture on hair ribbons becomes quite a
considerable item. Fastidious moth
ers who declare that ribbons never
look well when washed should try
the following method:
Make a mixture OF three ounces OF
soft soap. three tablespoonsful OF
honey. to a teacupful of gin and wa
ter.
The ribbon is placed on a board and
scrubbed with the mixture. 1t is then
rinsed by dipping several times in
clean. cold water, and not squeezed
out, but hung over a line to drip,
then put between cloths and ironed by
drawing the ribbons from under the
iron. This prevents creasing and a
stringy appearance at finish. The iron
should be kept still with pressure up
on Il.
White ribbons will not turn yellow
when washed If the water is warm in
stead of hot, and the soap used fine
white quality Rinse in three waters,
the last being a strong blue.
Hang in the sun until half dry, then
press under clean muslin with a warm
iron.
