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
lied to a depth Of about 2 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 well before seeding
time. 1t must be remembered that
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 five years, it 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 where 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 a
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 25
pounds per acre. The seed should be
sown by itself; never with a 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
y inch, and for doing this no imple-
ment is better suited than spike
tooth harrow with the teeth slanting
back, or a weeder.

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

Trap nests have been used for years
and there are, 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. If 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 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 1t is possible to
plan the breeding SO as to build up
the egg laying abilities of flock.
| am 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
1t is necessary to make the rounds of
the nests several times day. Hens
know no holidays and it is just as
necessary to attend them Christmas,
New Years, or Fourth of July as any
other day.

AAdEG4 SlON IL, July Al.-0 uOhlGldl dN-
erages given out here today, including
all games played uD to July 20, show
that the Hustlers are leading the Blue
Ride league in club batting, club field
ing and long hits and double plays.
Despite the fact that the Champs
at present are well represented in
the leading batters OF the league the
Martinsburg team is third in club bat
ting. This is easily explained by the
fact that Frederick and Hanover, who
are ahead of them. have kept pretty
much the same all season and the
hitting OF their players has been con-
sistent.
Reggie Rawlings. the fast outgar-
dener of the Champs, is leading the
batters with an average of 1873. Stuffy
Johnson has made a jump and is next
to his teammate with .317 to his credit.
Morris is another Martinsburger IN
the 800 class. Bobby Orrison has
dropped to 314, while Buck Hooker,
who was hitting 1928 several weeks
ago is now clouting the pill for an
average of 2S5.
Kid" Scherdell, OF Hanover, is lead
ing the pitchers who have worked
most of the season with a percentage
og 900. Bill King and Stevens, Of
the Hustlers, are next, with .S1S each.
The club batting averages are as
follows: Frederick .262; Hanover,
.246; Martinsburg, .241; Chambers
burg, .240; Hagerstown, $50; Gettys-
burg, POS
The ten leading batters in the
league and the percentages of the
Frederick hitters follow:
Rawlings, Martinsburg, 1888; John
son, Martinsburg, 317; Orrison, Fred
erick, 914; Crawford, Hanover, .314;
Morris, Martinsburg, 312; Clay,

immense stream, one of the greatest

the glades along the banks are filled
with wild flowers. Now and then a

flood. a black bear stealthily fishing
for salmon from some vantage point
on the bank. Millions of Wild fowl are
seen along the lower Yukon
There are number of little settle
