FARM EXPERT.
Work of Remington County Agent
Shows Active. Useful Season,

John l.. sherman. Bennington county
farm agent. has for the past year visited
3lS farmers on their farms, the ma iority
of them several times He has addressed
"a meetings, including fertilizer, spraying
and pruning demonstrations, with an ag-
gregate attendance of 1,Oo3, For the most
part the effort has been to have these
meetings small in number but intimate in
character. In covering the county Mr.
Sherman has Travelled during the year. by
automobile, 300 miles and by railroad
$500 miles
This year Mr.. sherman is working with
% farmers as corn demonstrators, with
20 as oat demonstrators and 10 as potat to
demonstrators BY July Is he will also
have 20 cover crop demonstration These
demonstrators agree to grow a certain
area OF a specified crop strictly in accord
ance with the directions furnished by the
county agent.
Careful records are kept of the cost OF
production, yield. etc, in order that accu-
rate comparisons may be made between
the results obtained by these methods ana
by those methods ordinarily In use. Last

considerable amount OF time was
spent with a weed expert from the de-
partment of agriculture, In an effort to
find simple method for overcoming the
prairie weed, which invests so much OF the
pasture land of the county. This sama
work was resumed this year on June Goth
and 1t Ia expected that the experiments
carried on will yield some practicable and
valuable results.
In studying the question of farm man
agement Mr. Sherman secured financial
records Of about % average farms. The
labor income as indicated by these records
was not high and averaged about s120,
Another important line of investigation
has been the question of soil acidty.
Many tests for acidity have been made,
practically all of which show that lime is
needed up 30 the amount OF 5000 pounds
burnt limo per acre. In this connection
apparatus was secured to determine APP
proximately the lime deficiency. Since
difficulty In the way of increased use Of
lime has been in the past the cost of OBJ

open up a lime industry within the coun-
~. There are several extensive mari de-
posts which would yield a product well
adapted for agricultural uses. 1t Is conf

ABOUT MOVING THE LAWN.
Some suggestions From the AEricuI-
turaI Department..

From the Rochester Democracy
The agricultural authorities In Wash
ington are dispensing sage advice on the
timely subject OF cutting lawn grass.
Their recommendations disagree with
some OF the ideas entertained by the gen
eral run OF householders who look after
their own lawns, The government ex-
perts declare that grass should be cut
long" that IL. the lawn mower blades
should be set as high as they will go.
When grass is cut too short the roots are
exposed and are likely TO be burned by
the sun.
Cut the grass frequently and leave the
cuttings where they fall, say the official
lawn doctors. The grass clippings settle
around the roots. hold moisture and act
as "A shield from the sun. Those who feei
that lawn mus; be raked after 1t Is
moved should use only wooden rakes
and use them lightly and carefully. Iron
rakes harrow up the soil which Is held
to be undesirable. The practice of
sweeping lawns Is also frowned down.
The cited suggestions made by the ayr
cultural department are worth trying

those much desired. firm. velvety lawns
which as general rule exist only in seed
catalogs and England, The English say
that such lawns are to be had only
through hundred years or 80 of inces-
SAINT care. But Americans like quicker
action. and the shortest way to get good
lawns Ia to follow the advice of those
who have studied the matter scientifi-
cally.
