mood of expectancy. They looked all
day yesterday for at least a 10c ad-
vance, and there was some disappoint-
ment in the afternoon when no an
nouncement had been made, but just
before press hour, The Ardmoreite
received a message announcing a &C
advance. While the advance IS ap-
preciated, still producers do not feel
that Cushing crude is worth twice as
much as Healdton, and think they
should be receiving a better price for
their oil. But, looking at the situa-
ton in another way, the producers
have a right to be very grateful for
the advances that have come. Oil was
selling at 30c up to the oath day Of
September, and within a period of
less than three months the price has
been doubled. If HealdtOn was not
measuring itself by Gushing, the pro-
ducers would be much more content
ed with the price that is being paid.
By all means Healdton crude ought
to be bringing at least 75c at this
time.

NAL failure.

An ideal seed bed is one obtained by
blowing the land in the fall, then in
early spring narrowing it until the sur
face is smooth and thoroughly pulver-
ICED to a depth of about inches.
Hence, where alfalfa follows small
grain, a clover, or timothy sod, the
land should be plowed as soon as pos
sible after the crop has been removed,
thus allowing plenty of time for at
least one or two good soaking rains
to settle the soil we'll before seeding
frequent surface workings between the
time OF blowing and seeding are abso-
lutely necessary to conserve moisture,
kill weeds, and properly pulverize the
surface.
Unless the land has grown alfalfa
or sweet clover successfully within
the past Ave years, 1t will be neces-
sary to inoculate. The most efficient
method Of incubation Is to cover the
field from 200 to 500 or more pounds
Of soil taken from a successful alfalfa
field or from whore sweet clover Is
growing.
The soil for this purpose should be
taken spade deep and applied before
sowing the seed. Usually it Is better
to do this just before sowing. but good
results may be expected if applied
week or two before seeding. At all
times the soil should be narrowed in
Immediately after applying to prevent
the injurious effects Of sunlight. A
few hours of exposure may kill all the
inoculating bacteria.
The manner of applying the soil de-
ponds largely upon the convenience
with which It can be secured. When
near at hand, in unlimited quantities,
the easiest way of applying is with
the manure spreader or from the back
Of a wagon with shovels. When the
quantity is limited then scattering by
hand, the same as sowing seed, Is the
most economical as well as the most
effective way of applying.
The rate Of seeding should be rs
pounds per acre. The seed should be
sown by itself; never with nurse
crop. The method of seeding may be
broadcasting by hand or with one OF
the various makes of machines on the
market for that purpose. The seed
should be covered to a depth OF about
u inch, and for doing this no nipple
ment Is better suited than a spike
tooth harrow with the teeth slanting
back, or q weeder.

TRAP NESTS ARE HELPFUL BUT
NOT ESSENTIAL TO THE
POULTRY KEEPER.
ROY H. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station

Trap nests have been used for years
and there are, l am tempted to say,
hundreds Of different designs in use
today. Notwithstanding this fact trap
nests are still novelty to many poul.
try raisers.
While trap nests have their use they
are not so necessary in the poultry
house as some would have us believe.
The most important use for the trap
nest is to enable the breeder to get an
exact knowledge of the parentage OF
his birds. II he mates up several fe-
males with one male about the only
way he can keep the eggs laid by each
bird separate is by using the trap nest.
He can then hatch these eggs from diff
ferent hens separately, mark the
chicks and find out which mating pro-
duces the best results.
Another use is in breeding for egg
production. By getting a line on the
number Of eggs produced by the fe-
males in the breeding pen and know
ing the ability of the male to produce
high laying pullets It Is possible to
plan the breeding 80 as to build up
the egg laying abilities of flock.
lam afraid, however, that trap nests
will never be popular with the smaller
producers. The disadvantages are
many. A large amount Of time and
attention Is required to look after
them. If yearly egg records are kept
It is necessary to make the rounds Of
the nests several times a day. Hens
know no holidays and 1t is just as
necessary to attend them Christmas.

In Memoriam.

my dear father, q. L. Boteler, who
departed this life two years ago today,
July II, 1918.
O! dear father, can it be,
Two years since we have looked on thee?
1t does not seem two years ago
That you were called by God to go.
God called him home,
1t was his will,
Yet in our hearts he liveth still.
Quick and sudden was the call
To him who was beloved by all.
Great is the loss that we sustain,
But hope in heaven to meet again.
