GREATEST CROP OF

Farmer Should Devise Some

The big wheat crop in prospect
indicates one of the greatest crops

try. Straw is not to any great extent
a commercial product The great bulk
of this portion of the small grain
crop remains on the farm, where the
product is either fed to the stock
or becomes a waste product 1t re-

to take this part of the wheat, oats
and other small grain crops into &C
count now before the crop is grown
and arrange for more economical
disposition of the straw. The straw
should. as far as possible, be fed to
stock and used for bedding, thus con-
verting as much as possible of it into
fertilizer-barnyard or stock-lot ma
nure. This use of the straw is the
best purpose to which it can be
turned. The strawstack should be
built to afford protection from dam

to use 1t as feed. BY no means
burn the strawstack; devise some
means of making fertilizer out of it.
The farm needs it back on the soil.

GUARDING AGAINST
DODDER IN ALFALFA
Particular Pains Should Be TAX
en- to Remove Affected Spots
in the Field.
(By w. w. ROBBINS, Colorado Expert
ment Station.)

(By w. w. ROBBINS, Colorado Expert
ment Station.)
Dodder is a parasitic seed plant.
The stems are slender, thread-like,
yellowish or reddish and Irvine about
the plant upon which they live. The
life-history of dodder Is peculiar. The
seeds terminate in the ground. The
young dodder plants soon attach
themselves to other plants. Then the
stems connecting the dodder to the
soil soon break away, leaving 1t en-
tirely attached to the host plant from
which it must secure all Of its nour-
ishment. Avoid the Introduction of
dodder seed with alfalfa seed. Pains
should be taken to remove affected
spots in the field. In the large ma
jority of instances this procedure will
be sufficient. II the stand of alfalfa
is very badly affected, pillow up the
crop before the dodder goes to seed
and put the land In cultivated crop
for two or more years.

GOOD RESULTS FROM
SUMMER FERTILIZING
Interesting Experience OF Illinois
Farmer With Vegetables on
Soil of Decayed Roots.
By MILLER PURVIS.

have never had such good results
from summer fertilizing in the garden
as I have this season. In the hrst
place I have a splendid place for
garden. Not many years ago 1t was
the bottom of big slough on an ILL
nois prairie, with a deep soil MADE
I'D of humus from long line OF de-
cayed roots or water-growing grasses
and plants.
The land was put in cultivation
good many years ago and not long
after put down to grass and kept IN
pasture until last year when 1t was
appropriated for garden back OF
the new house.
Last year a splendid crop OF weeds
was grown in this garden. Not by
me, please understand, for | have
constitutional antipathy for weeds.
1 might have expected a very good
garden this year without special at
tention further than good cultivation,
but know that garden vegetables
are voracious feeders and concluded
to supply mine with all they could
take care of by putting on commercial
fertilizer.
The land was plowed last fall, turn
ing under the weeds which were from
waist to shoulder high. This spring
q beautiful crop came on and was
worked into the soil before the garden
was planted.
Then good grade of commercial
fertilizer was used in row and hill of
everything that was planted except
the sweet corn and beans. / was
afraid to feed these crops too well.
AS a check, pieces Of rows were left
unfertilized. l planned to keep these
without fertilizer during the season.
but when I saw how far they were
falling behind, I began to work the
fertilizer in around the rows and hills
which had been left unfertilized.
I also worked it in the other crops
as / cultivated them and from the
start that garden has grown until the
neighbors wonder what kind of seeds

have a pretty good check by hav-
ing a neighbors garden near enough
to observe, the land being the same
as mine. / have used commercial
fertilizer at the rate of about four
hundred pounds to the acre.
Lettuce and onions have responded
in a surprising way. When one can
grow heads of lettuce which are two
feet across. one need not ask for any
thing more. Onions from sets and
from seeds made growth such as
have never seen anywhere.
Every time these crops have been
cultivated a very light coat Of fertiliz-
er has been scattered along each side
of the rows and worked into the soil.

ed with pods filled to bursting,
squashes, beets. potatoes and melon
vines came as near to growing fast
enough to see as any ever did.
1 know perfectly well that / over
dosed this garden but the part of the
fertilizer that the crops Of this year
have not used will not get away but
will remain for next year. l believe
in using fertilizer of some kind as
long as the cra3 is cultivated.

Prevented From Leaving the City.
"For many days every one was pre-
vented from leaving the city. Horses,
automobiles and every other means OF
conveyance were appropriated by the
Germans unless the owners could show
credentials from the German army.
The Belgian citizens were reduced to
a state of terror. Cannonading began
at noon, August 4. and was incessant
day and night, rain or shine. Houses
trembled, windows ratified and at first
it was impossible to sleep because OF
the noise. Afterward we got quite
used to the uproar.
"I saw 1000 or 1000 Belgian prison
ers marched through the streets OF
Verviers and 1t waA pitiful to watch
the crowds of relatives, fathers, moth

appeared to treat the citizens well and
paid for their supplies. The larger
portion of the population who work in
the wooden mills are reduced almost
to starvation. The Germans buy most
of the meat, bread and other supplies,
and no supplies can be brought in
from the outside.

roof IL feet inches above the rail.
The walls and roof have two thick.
