SCARECROW THAT
WILL SCARE CROWS
Ordinary Device, In Most Cases,
Does Not Serve Purpose
New Idea Is Suggested.
cBy n. A. aALLlHERl

The ordinary scRrecrow. consisting
OF a pair OF old trousers, coat and hat,
which adorns no many cornfields aft
er planting time. does not, in most
cases. serve the desired purpose; but
ls regarded by Mr.. Grow as @ notice
which plainly says: Here's q place
to get your free lunch" and no gets
1t, too.
But there Ia such a thing an making
scarecrow that will scare. and here
is the way to do 1t,
Take box about fifteen inches Iona
by ten inches square. Place this box
near the cornfeld fence. having one
end OF the box open, and a hens
nest" in the other end. IN which put
two or three fresh eggs.
In the open end Of the box set q
small steel trap, covering II with fine
dry grass or leaves. Then place an
egg about two feet from the box, IN
such position that when Mr.. Grow
Is in the act OF getting this ogg he cap
easily see the ones in the nest.
The second trip no makes for eggs
Is generally the last one. Now you
can catch one crow in this manner, bui
one Is sufficient: for no will at once
get busy giving out danger signals
that win be needed by all other crows
for miles around.
Don't BIO In hurry about releasing
him. for the longer he IL in the trap
the better opportunity he has OF cir
eulating the news Of his imprison
ment.
Unless his legs are broken or he 4
otherwise injured, II Is best TO let hin
go. and not kill him.
No danger Of this one coming back
and the whole crow family will steel
clear OF that eornfield all season.

Most people buy any kind OF sweet

occasionally and ''let 1t go At that"
The result OF this sort Of planting
and cultivation Is naturally not the
best. There are many varieties OF
sweet corn seed to select from, and
the best for ones own garden can best
be told by observing the results Of
other gardens.
There is great strife among seed
dealers to produce the earliest va
rieties, but this development is re-
sulting in a great deal Of early seed
that is subject to smut.
There are some varieties which will

FERTILIZERS AND
SOILS FOR ONIONS
Heavy CIays, HiIlsides and Stony
Land Should Be Avoided
Old Muck Lands Best.
tBy ]. r. oRAINGER,l

The best soil for onions is a rich,
well-drained loan. Heavy clays. hill
sides and stony land should be avoid
ed. Onion soil cannot be too rich.
Excellent crops are grown on deep,
rich, muck lands that have been un.
der cultivation for three or four years.
Such lands should contain n fair mix
ture Of sand. New. raw muck lands
give poor returns.
The ground for onions should have
been planted to some heavily MANFRED
hoed crop the preceding year and be
practically free from weed seed. II
10 a great mistake TO grow onions on
weedy or rundown land.
The following which relates to grow.
ing onions on q large scale also APP
plies to garden growing.
A rather firm seed bed which re-
suits from fall blowing is desirable
and gives the best results. A second
crop of clover. heavily fertilIzed with
barnyard manure and turned under
in the fall followed by potatoes the
next year. makes an excellent prep
aration for onions the se :ond year
A heavy top dressing of well rotted
barnyard manure or compost should
be applied In the spring. and we'll
worked into the soil. After this, a
complete commercial fertilizer an.
alyzing per cent nitrogen, per cent
available phosphorus and 10 per cent
potash should be applied.
This fertilizer formula Is very pop.
ular with large onion growers. and II
should be put on broadcast and thick.
II the ground Is In high state Of
cultivation the commercial fertilizer
may replace In part, the barnyard ma.
nure. A top dressing Of ashes and
hen manure might also replace IN part
the commercial fertilizers.
Very successful growers use them ell
and in addition nitrate OF soda applied
broadcast In three or four applications
during the growing season.
Wood ashes constitute one Of the
best forms Of potash fertilizers and
should be carefully kept under shell
ter away from the rains.
II Ii well to bear in mind that II
costs just as much to seed and cult
vate a crop Of onions that yields 50t
bushels to the acre a. It does To grow
q crop yielding 800 to 1000 bushels
And further that the land once prop
er1y prepared can be used for grow
ing onions year after year unless In
sects or diseases come In.

It viii not do 10 simply smooth over
the top OF the soil. Il should be thor.
oughly pulserized TO the depth OF eight
10 twelve inches. To do this requires
a considerable amount Of spadinE and
rRking.
When the soil is in the condition
OF the finest portion OF your garden.
then plant your seed In rows 80 inches
apart. neaseed In a place. and cover
lightly.
Then II is necessary to keep the
surface Of the soil very fine all through
the growing season In order to keep
the moisture from evaporating.
Do not wait until the weeds grow
higher than the corn before attacking
them Use the rake as soon aa they
make their flrst appearance and then
keep after them with rake and hoe
and hands until the corn natures.
II this practice is carefully followed
one may be agreeably surprised in the
improvement OF his crop. even from
seed that has hitherto proved disap
