CULTURE OF THE ASPARAGUS
Excellent Remedy for Killing OFF
Green SIugs is to Dust Daily With
Air-Slaked Lime.

Stop cutting asparagus when peas
are fit to gather. Let the tops grow
until fall. Keep the weeds down by
applying thick mulch of coarse ma
nure, rotted leaves or grass. If the
little fly appears, dust early in the
morning with dry air-slacked lime.
Paris green solution may be used in
stead Of lime. We have always found
the lime effective If put on as soon as
the slugs appear. Use fresh air
Stacked lime and dust every morning
until all the worms are killed AS
paragus grown from seed must be
kept clean of grass and weeds, and
the soil mellow and rich. Use diluted
urine from the stables, or bone phos-
plate, one handful to every 40 inches
of row, says writer In an exchange
The best remedy for asparagus rust
is to cut the tops off close to the
ground and burn. Then SOW a thick
coat Of air-slacked lime over the
rows and give clean culture. All
rust stalks should be gathered up and
burnt. If any are left the spores will
be blown by the wind on to the new
growth. To grow stout plants from
seed, thin out the plants to stand
four inches apart in the row.

In some parts of Germany and Aus

atoms, or seed control stations, now

Wisconsin Rye Yield Is Good.

The pedigreed rye crop just har.
vested on the farm at the University
OF Wisconsin promises to give the
largest yield ever obtained there. 1t
will probably yield from thirty to thir-
ty-five bushels an acre. Before being
cut the grain stood five feet high.
Wisconsin is now the leading rye
producing state, having more than g.
000, 900 bushels in 1911, which is a mil.
lion more than Michigan, its nearest
competitor had. That this result is
largely due to the use Of pure bred
seed grain Is shown by the fact that
this years crop at the university is
nearly double the average yield per
acre for the state.

KILL OFF INJURIOUS WEEDS
If NoxIous Plants Are to BE Destroyed
Work Must Be Done In Thor
ough Manner.
(By r. q. wEATHERsToNE.)

The presence of weeds on many
farms demands that more rigorous
measures be taken for their destruc-
ton. 1t is plain that so long as so
few pastures, meadows and cultivated
crops are used in rotation with grain
the farmers will find 1t very difficult
to keep the weeds in check.
Summer following may Destroy

labor during the entire season, when
no crop is obtained from 1t.
