GOVERNMENT HELPS OIL

Geological Survey Shows Where
Drilling Would Be
Useless.

WASHINGTON, June THAT the geolo-
gist can save to the practical oil man
large sums yearly in useless drilling Is a
fact which is becoming more and more
clearly recognized. 1t Is possible for him
to determine from rock exposures the To-
cation and extent of rock folds, which
seem to constitute the principal condition
governing the accumulation OF oil and
gas where they are present in the region.
In most fields oil and gas are found
In anticlines or upfolds OF the rocks, 30
that It Is obviously bad practice in test
ing a new field to begin by drilling In the
downfolds or synclines, yet this Is often
done.
In order to point out the most favorable
localities for tests by the drill and TO
save to the oil men and TO the country
at large part at least of the enormous
sums uselessly expended In drilling In
unfavorable locations the United States
Geological Survey Is making investiga-
lions OF untried territory. The structure
outlined In such Investigations are those
most favorable In the area to oil ac-
emulation. OF course, oil and gas may
not be present in the region; but II they

BEAVERS OUTLINES
FERTILIZER FILLER
Purdue Professor Tells How
Farmer May Make His
Own Preparation.

Wayne county farmers are more or
less familiar with the work of Prof.
J.. C. Beavers of the soils and crops
department of Purdue. He has visited
the county on several occasions, the
last time being during the Alfalfa
Tour last June
In a recent article Professor Beav
ers has the following to say regarding
the use of fertilizers for wheat.
where the supply of organic mat
ter and nitrogen has been kept up, a
fertilizer containing 10 per cent phos-
phoric acid and per cent potash APP
piled at the rate of 250 pounds per
acre on clay and loan soils will prove
very profitable. If the farmer wishes
to mix his own fertilizer and is pre-
pared to 40 so, the following mater
ials may be mixed to make ton:
1000 pounds high grade acid phos-
phate. $50 pounds bone meal, $50
pounds muriate of potash.
This mixture will make a fertilizer
containing Is to 16 per cent total phos-
phoric acid and 6.25 per cent potash.
On sandy soils the potash may be
increased two per cent to good advan-
tage When the soil is somewhat run
down, l to 2 per cent of nitrogen in
the fertilizer has been found to be
profitable"
1t will be noticed that these recon-
mendatiOns by Professor Beavers,
+ conform very closely to the findings
of the fertilizer experiments conduct
ed in Wayne county last year, an &C.
| count of which was published in re-
cent edition of the Palladium.

LATE SOWING KILLS
OUT AESS|AN FLIES
Cooperation Will Stamp Out
Pest Seen in Parts of the
County.

While not much damage has been re-
! ported by Wayne county farmers this
year from the Hessian fly. a number
Of fields were affected. In order to
lessen the danger from the pest the
| following year, wheat should be sown
as late as possible and still give it
time to make sufficient growth befcre
| winter sets in.
Cooperative late sowing by all the
wheat growers in the community, ac-
companied by systematic destruction
of stubble, and other breeding places
of the fly, seem to be the best means
to reduce the devastation, according
to reports of the department of agri-
culture.
! The wheat should be sown early
enough to allow the plans to become
we'll established before winter, yet not
| so early as to allow them to become
| Jointed If the first frost is unusually
delayed it would be better to plant,
even though there still be danger of
injury by the fly, for otherwise his
losses may be greater from the failure
of young, poorly rooted plans to sur
vive the winter.
In this latitude the third week in
September is the best time for SOW
ing wheat. The general rule for seed
ing being that there should be a diff
ference OF one day for each ten miles
of difference in latitude, and the seed.
ing should be approximately one day
earlier for each hundred feet of in
crease in elevation. There is usually
however, a period of several weeks in
all the winter wheat area where SOW
ing may take place with about equal
results

edge that this experiment will give,
the department hopes to control the
spread Of the pest more completely in
coming years.

Poultry Hints
Care Of Equs on the Farm,

Care Of Eggs on the Farm.
Here are seven rules advised by the
Missouri College of Agriculture for the
care of eggs on the farm
First-Market only eggs of standard
size-twenty-four ounces or more to
the dozen.
Second-Sort out exceedingly large
or very small eggs.
Third-Avoid dirty eggs by keeping
clean quarters. Dirt can be removed
with a damp cloth, but eggs should
not be washed.
Fourth-RemOve males from flock
as soon as the breeding season is over
The presence of the male birds in the
poultry flock destroys one-half million
dollars worth of eggs each month
during the summer. Prevent this loss
by the production of infertile eggs
Fertile eggs do not keep well. 1t costs
money to feed surplus males and the
hens are more productive when no
males are present.
Fifth-Reject eggs from stolen
nests; that's where many of the rotten
eggs come from.
Sixth-Store eggs in cool, we'll ven
tilated places. Heat assists in chick
development and also increases the
shrinkage.
Seventh-keep eggs away from Cd
ors, such as those from kerosene, cab
bage, rotten food, fresh paint, etc.
Food also influences flavor; only clean
food should be fed
Eighth-Market eggs once or twice
weekly. An egg deteriorates in quail
ity with age
Ninth-Insi5t that your dealer pur-
chase eggs on a loss off" basis, not
just as they come in. At present the
dealer buys all eggs, good, bad and in
different, at the same price, and does
Lot recognize the difference in quality
The result is that an average low
price is paid for eggs. Some eggs are
worthless, while others are worth
much more than the average price, In
sist that your dealer candle eggs dur
ing the summer If he sorts out bad
eggs, he can then afford to pay for
the good.

WATCH FOR ARMY
WORM WITH WING
DISPLAYING STAINS
Government Asks Farmers
to Make Observations to
Aid in Tracing Pests
Travels.

Every one interested in the destruc-
ton of the army worm pest is being
requested by the United States depart
ment of agriculture to look out for
army worm moths with one artificially
colored wing. The departments en-
tomologists are catching army worm
moths where they are plentiful, color
ing one wing each, and then liberating
them in the same territory so that
they may determine whether these
moths fly directly west, or north, and
how quickly and far they will spread.
A better knowledge of the habit of this
pest should enable the department to
control it's spread.
The moths are already showing
themselves in Virginia and in Mary
land, and the departments agents are
catching specimens at Portsmouth and
Charlottesville in Virginia, and Ha
gerstown in Maryland. The agents
at Portsmouth are applying red stain
to one wing of each specimen caught;
those at Charlottesville black or
yellow stain, and those at Hagers
town violet color. Then the moths
are left to follow the natural course
they would have pursued.
The departments bureau of ento
mology is advising it's agents east OF
the Mississippi Any one observing a
marked specimen will aid in the cam
paign by reporting the fact to the
bureau of entomology, Washington, ID
G. When it's presence has been noted
the moth should be destroyed.
How to Recognize Moth.
The wings of the army moth, when
outspread, measure about one and one
half inches from tip to tip. The body
is about half this length. The general
shape of the moth with its wings out
spread is triangular. The moths viii
hover about the lights in the evening
On farms, they will be found on the
outside of screens and doors at night
They will probably not be observed in
the daytime. On dark. hot, close
nights, such as precede thunderStOrms
they probably will be especially no
ticeable.
The army worm pest has caused
considerable damage to the crops and
lawns this summer throughout the
northern United States east of the
| Mississippi The worms are only now
! disappearing in northern Maine anc
| Michigan. which were probably hatch
| ed from the eggs of moths migrating
from more southern portions of the
country. With the additional knowl

POEM BY FARMER
GIVES HIGH PRAISE
TO PUROUE'S WORK

In early times our soils were virgin,
Then we raised large crops.
That was when the land was managed
By our old grandpops.
Later on the land was turned
Over to our dads.
Then the crops instead of bumpers
Went from worse to bad.
First the land for raising corn
Was good for hundred per;
Now the same land, rightly managed,
Will produce not fur
From fifteen bushels to the acre
Nubbins, too, at that.
There's a reason Tor this change,
And since our dads are gone.
Wen admit they hauled it off,
And then hauled nothing on.
Then the state took up the matter
For the good of me and you,
And they founded what is known
To us as old Purdue.
There men labored year by year,
Using cash and brains,
Just to learn us wise ones
How to raise the grains;
How to fill the corncribs,
How to fill the mows
With truck to feed the yearlings
And the "sookie cows"
But we amt much on science
In fact there's nothing to it,
For surely if there had been,
Why didn't our dads do it?
Well just follow in the wake
of our wise old dads,
They always had the grain to feed,
And of money had just scads.
Now our dads were wise old jays.
They knew how to raise the hays.
And just as sure as you were born,
They knew how to raise the corn.
Course our dads had virgin land,
And hadn't modern tools at hand,
But it took so little cultivation
To make the crops beat all tarnatiOn
But now we know our land is thin;
Gittin threadbare, bout all in.
But We'll do the best we can,
Me and the kids and Mary Ann.
Well plant our grain, be it foul or fair
And tucker the land all out
What the devil do we care,
What this chewin's all about.
We can root in the same old rut.
Our dads didn't need Purdue.
We have fully settled in our minds
Wen be diddle dee damned if we dc
(After the Rip Van Wrinkle nap)
We read, we write, we talk
OF the farmer getting rich,
Until it has become almost a bore.
But we neglect to say
That while he's hauling off the hay
His land is getting awful poor
Of course he can get rich
For his present needs and SIGH
But the fact he gets the dollars don
! tell all,
For he'll find when he is through,
That the dollars have gone too,
And he's got left by Peter paying Paul
Now there'e point in this,
Just grasp it in your fists,
And don't allow it to slip through.
But should it get away
! 1t certainly will pay
To get another agent from Purdue.

REMOVES
FIRST SQUARE S|L0
BUILT IN COUNTRY
Old Form Preserved Silage
Well When Carefully
Tramped Around Edges
and Corners.

One of the most unique silos ever
erected in Wayne county is still stand
ing on the farm owned by Walter
Ratliff, west of Richmond and Occu-
pied by B. H. Weiss.
This was the first rectangular silo
built in this section of the country,
being put up in 1902 by Mr.. Ratliff,
who was then living on the farm.
The plans were obtained from a Mr..
DOnahO of Madison, Wisconsin, and
the structure was considered to be
one of the most practical of the times.
The silo is 20 feet wide by 2S feet
long, and has a capacity of approx
mately two hundred and twenty tons
when filed. The studding was of "2X
S timbers, set 49, apart, with drop sid
ing on the outside. The inner wall was
Of edged lumber. covered with tar pa
per, and a second wall of ship lap
lumber and painted. A middle parti-
ton divided the interior into two
large bins, which made it possible to
feed out one side at time.
The slO was used successfully for
eleven years by Mr. Ratliff, and for
two years by the tenant, after Mr.
Ratlff moved to town.
! Used Apron Litter.
! Ensilage cutters were very rare
then, and the filling much more diff
! cult to accomplish than at the pres
en- time. The silage was cut in long
or lengths, usually running from an
inch and quarter to an inch and a
half. The cutter was not equipped
with blower, and the silage was ele
waited by means of an apron elevator
After filling, the silage was trampeG
every day for five days, care being ia
! ken to tramp the sides and corners
WELL to make it settle evenly.
Mr.. Ratliff states that the silage
kept we'll, only about eighteen inches
spelling on the top, and he estimated
that about five tons were spoiled each
year. The silage was fed to dairy cat
tie, horses and even to hogs, the frs
bin usually lasting until about the
first of February.
! cred it a curiosity and many came tt
see 1t, and discuss the merits of the
feed. One neighbor is said to have
used it as a weather indicator, saying
that he could always tell when it was
g"lng to rain, because he could smell
Ratlitf's silo
similar silo was built little later
by James Starr, on his farm north
west Of the city. but was not as sue
cessful as the first one. He tried Gov
erlng it with large wooden doors, t(
prevent the upper surface spelling
but the plan was not a success.
The silo on the Ratliff farm is nov
oelng dlsmantled, and will be moved
ana converted into a wagon shed.
