Cultivation

The dryer the time the more nee
essary the frequent shallow cultiva-
ton. The spike tooth steel harrow
with the teeth set back at an angle
of about 45 degrees is a good nipple
ment to run over the young corn with
once or twice before starting the reg
ular civilizations. A roller makes
the field look good but also packs the
surface allowing the moisture to rise
to the top and evaporate off into the
air. If the roller is used, immedi-
atcly aftcrward run over the field or
between rows with harrow to re-
establish the surface mulch and thus
prevent the soil moisture from pass
ing Off into the air. Don't wait long
to start the shovel cultivators. The
first time over take plenty of time,
get close to the plants, clean the field
and go about three inches deep. Next
cultivation go somewhat shallower
and it won't do to get in so close.
From then on let your team step up
and get over the field as rapid" and
often as possible with just shallow
surface stirring. The sweep types of
surface shovels are a good thing to
use ut these latter periods.

There are some redeeming features
about everything if we will only look
for them. The present drought
should be lesson to everyone on the
advisablity of thorough seed bed pre-
paration and handling. The men who
this spring went TO their fields and
double-disced every foot of ground
they intended to break before they
did any plowinp at all are now reap
ing the rewards. The soil has large
ly retained its moisture, they are
still blowing and the ground is
breaking up in nice shape. There is
no stopping Of the plows, over-work-
ing the horses or turning up big clods

Apple BHght-Black Knot of Damson

These are two fungus diseases
that are widely spread over this sec

can be done for them now but next

dormant in the blighted twigs of the

trees ready to spread out in all di-

Smut.
tiunus.

Notice the plants on the soil that
is well supplied with decomposed or
ganic matter and see how well they
are standing the dry weather and the
amount of moisture that is still in the
ground. Compare these plants with
the ones on ground where the humus
is all burnt out by wrong use Of
commercial fertilizers and constant
cultivation. This latter soil bakes
and runs together while the former
is in good filth. IIumus is the key
to the fertility and productivity Of
our land. Lime would also tend to
help the physical condition of these
heavy baked soils.

Army Worms.

There has been an outbreak OF
army worms in some sections OF the
country and as they seem to appear
very suddenly and their work OF de-
vastation is over before we hardly
realize it, it requires prompt action
to combat them. The worm is from
q to ~ inches long and striped
with black, yellow and green. Ihey
generally appear in grass landS,
where the eggs have been land. ana
suddenly eat the grass clean then
migrate TO other grass, oat or corn
land. If discovered at once and a
strip sprayed around the infested
area with arsenate Of lead or paris
green before the worms scatter, they
will be killed. A deep furrow plow-
ed around the field to stop the worms
and post holes dug in this at inter
walls where they will collect and can
be killed by spraying with Kerosene
is sufficient a log may also be drug
along this furrow every little while
to XIII the worms. After they are
scattered over large area nothing
can be done but wait until the worms

they will do all at once and often dis
appear as suddenly as they came.
There are several broods year but
it is seldom that more than one brood
does much damage, due 10 certain
climatic conditions and parasitic en-
emies that tend to keep them down.
The only chance to control them is
to get Immediate action as soon ms

MILLIONS USED IN PLAGUE WAR.
Fight Against Tuberculosis Cost Near.
ly $2e,ooQooo Last Year.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. 16.-One Of the sig
ntficant incidents Of the war on tuber.
culosis 10 the vast expenditure Of pub.
lie funds now being made to control
and eradicate this disease. It is esti.
mated that nearly $2o. 100000 was spent
last year in the treatment and proven
ton OF tuberculosis in the United
States, 6s.3 per cent OF which was
money derived from public funds. The
treatment Of tuberculosis patients in
more than 500 sanatorium and hospit-
ais In the country. and the construction
OF such institutions. cost over $4,000.
900 Of the total expenditure. It is stated
that the care of patients In dispensariel
and open air schools costs 1926, 900;
anti leagues and commit
tees spent nearly $e75,o00, while state
and local boards Of health and tuber.
culosis commissions spent over $780,.
900 in the same period.
In the seate Of Iowa, while the ex-
penditure Of money has not been SO
large as in many Of the eastern states
there has been very great amount oil
work done. The department on tuber-
culosis has been particularly fortunate
in securing the cooperation Of practi.
cally every social force in the state
and . vast amount Of volunteer work
has been carried on. extending In many
instances to the most obscure sections
Of the state.
The state sanatorium at Oakdale ex.
pended during the year 1913. approxi-
mately $4,000. The results obtained
at oakdale have been most gratifying
and have produced a strong sentiment
thruout the state which is rapidly crys-
talizing into q demand for adequate
hospital care for the INDECENT { lvanced
consumptive not admissible to the
state institution. The public is ready
to invest abundant funds in the sup
preston OF tuberculosis and It should
not be q matter OF surprise to find
springing up turnout Iowa this year,
many institutions for tho control Of tu-
berculosis.
Scott county is now completing a
beautiful building with q capacity Of
forty patients. and when in operation
will be ono Of the most up to date and
well-managed institutions Of its kind in
the country. That It is wise economy
on the part Of the public to eradicate
such a dreadful and wasteful disease
needs no argument here.
