SOIL PREPARATION FOR
"CORN LAND" WHEAT
(By ]. c. McAmis, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee)

(By ]. c. McAmis, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee)
Whatever may be said against the
practice, it is common in many places
in Tennessee to follow corn with
wheat. The soil is often prepared sim
ply by discing thoroughly where, after
the corn is removed, the land is left
reasonably clean because of low fer
tility. dry seasons and late cultivation.
Usually on richer land, stalks, weeds,
and grass will not permit suitable
preparation by only discing, so that it
Is necessary to turn the SOIL
All grains need deep but firm seed
bed. To obtain it some notifications
to each of the above methods of soil
preparation are necessary. II the land
Is rolling and prepared by discing
alone, there is danger of washing, be-
cause there is not sufficient depth to
absorb the abundant winter rains. The
wheat is sown too late, the preceding
crop has left the soil with too little fer
tility and moisture to form cover
sufficient to hold the land. If it is
turned, there is little time for settling
by rains before the wheat is sown.
Breaking with the subsoil plow is
the way out of the first condition.
Depth may be obtained and yet leave
the soil reasonably firm by running
the subsoil plow under each corn row
and once in the middle. Then follow
with a disc. The depth obtained will
prevent washing until the crop is well
established.
Sometimes the stalks and grass
must be turned. The soil is left rea.
,, sonably loose with layer or more OF
loose vegetable matter, which decays
slowly between the top soil and the
subsoil Wheat roots naturally go
deeper into the subsoil than we think
but they can not cross this space
! Therefore, If turning is absolutely
necessary, disc we'll beforehand to mix
the vegetable matter with the soil and
| follow with the roller in order to give
| firmness.

SUCCESSFUL COMMUNITY
BREEDERS ASSOCIATION
(By r. NJ. Murphy, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By r. NJ Murphy, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
On September Both the Campbell
vile Shorthorn Breeders Association
held their second annual sale of regis
tered Shorthorn cattle. Campbellville
is o small town located in the center
of good farming community, in Giles
county, fifteen miles from the county
seat, Pulaski. This Association is Of
the type that promises to do much to-
ward the improvement of livestock.
IL is a community organization, the
outgrowth of the efforts of few men
in the community who realized the i'm
portance of organization. They have
fine grazing country, excellent pas
lures, good water and they wanted
good cattle. Instead of every man
buying a different breed as his fancy
might have suggested, they got to-
gether and decided that as a commu-
nifty they would breed Shorthorns. AS
result, they already have a good
start and are getting excellent adver-
Using at a minimum cost. None of
the members have herds sufficiently
large to attract very much attention,
and yet, by combining their offerings,
they are able to have an attractive
sale annually. The herds vary in size
from fifteen breeding cows down to
two or three, their intention being to
grow into the business as they can
afford to.
The foundation animals were not
fancily bred and bought at high prices,
but now that they are getting started
they have purchased for the use of
the community an excellent young
herd bull No one of them could hard
ly have afforded this young bull for
his own personal use, but as com
munity they can have him available
at but a small cost to any one. In
this way they are taking advantage
of the most rapid and most economical
| method of improvement. AS the years
go by the value of this association
will greatly increase. The community
will gain reputation for good cattle.
| Their cattle will become more and
more uniform, unlike the average COM
munity, which has a general mixture
of every breed and a reputation for
nothing enviable. The need of finding
a market will disappear, the market
will be hunting for them.

If the orchard is badly infested
with San Jose scale, spray now. me
scale is difficult to detect when the
infestation is slight; but the insect
multiplies rapidly, and when a tree is
badly infected the trouble is easily rec
ognized; the leaves drop prematurely,
the bark takes on an ash coloring, and
MANY branches die. Close exam1na-
ton reveals a coating of tiny scales
all over the branches, one can scrape
them off with finger nail or knife.
When very few scale are present the
single insect looks much like breath
ing pore on the bark of the young
shoots, though darker colored; 1t is
surrounded by reddish colored ring
of bark, the discolor being caused by
the insect.
In cases of slight infestation spray
ing can be deferred until March, but
where the limbs are incrusted two
sprayings should be applied; one in
late fall or early winter, and second
as the buds are swelling, usually in
late March.
The best remedy for San Jose scale
is lime-sulphur solution. This soln'
ton can be bought of any druggist, or
made at home. 1t is troublesome to
make and the preparation has been
So standardized that reliable article
Is ON the market For ns3t results
the solution as purchased should De
diluted one to nine; to one gafion OF
the solution I'D nine gallons OF water.
Before spraying prune badly infest
ed trees heavily. The trees have been
greatly weakened in vitality hy the in
sects, and IS only those insects are
destroyed that are covered by the
spray a heavy pruning will leave
much less surface to be covered. Cat
out all dead branches. When the
l crown of the tree has been headed
back, go over it to remove any small
! projecting shoots, so that nothing will
escape a thorough spraying. Keep
the nozzle moving as you work.
Spray the under side of the branches
as well as tie upper side Do thor
ough job; don't be afraid vt wasting a
little of the solution, it is cheap
Every orchard of dozen trees
should have a barrel spraying outfit;
there are strong hand lever pumps
that are much superior to The ordinary
| barrel spray9r for summer use, but
| for work against the San Jose scale
the barrel outfit is effective. Even 4
small bucket pump, if used thoroughly
or heavily pruaed trees, will accom-
plish wonders.
San Jose scale has killed thousands
| &c trees in Tennessee. If it is in your
| orchard spray the trees or cut them
| down. Do not leave them unsprayed
to spread the scale in you: neighbor
hood. Spray now.

SELLING A THICK CREAM
(By G. A. Gilbert, U. s. Department of
Agriculture.)

(By G. A. Gilbert, U. S. Department Of
Agricultural
Whenever cream is sold on the basis
of butter fat it contains. there are many
advantages of separating it so that 1t
tests from 800 to 400, rather than
from 20%o to 800. One should under
stand first that a good separator takes
the fat out OF tire milk just as com.
pletely when it is set for thick cream
as when set to separate thin cream.
We may look at it in this way-all the
fat is thrown out of the cream spout
Of the separator in either case, and the
test of the cream depends upon the
amount of skim milk that comes out
with the fat to dilute 1t.
So in separating a thick cream more
skim milk is left on the farm for feed
ing, in years time this will amount
to considerable extra skim milk.
With a thick cream there is less to
handle, haul to the creamery, or ship.
Fifty pounds of 400 cream contains
as much fat as 100 pounds of 20%
cream. Besides, it means smaller or
less cream cans. Cream should be
cooled Immediately after separating.
A thick cream is less bulk, so requires
less cold water or ice, and the cooling
is easier and more quickly accom-
plshed.
A thick cream can be delivered to
the creamery in better condition. 1t
is we'll known that it is easier to keep
high-testing cream sweet, and one can
win reputation of always bringing in
a nice quality cream.
Aside from the advantages to the
farmer, the creameryman always pre-
fers a thick cream. 1t enables him to
make better butter, and to make it at
less cost. This in itself finally results
to the advantage of the patron. The
creameryman and patron should CO.
operate in every way possible, and
there is no way by which the patron
can help the buttermaker, and at the
same time directly benefit himself,
than by selling a thick cream.
Lost Treasure.
A man who went half way around
the world on q wild-goose chase for
supposed buried treasure continued
from New York to Salt Lake for the
pleasure Of thrashing the man who
told him the story Of great cache
which did not exist. II he win now
employ somebody with an adequate
sized boot to take care Of his own case
the incident will have reached INC
logical conclusion.

IOWA HENS BEAT
ALASKA MINERS
EGGS PRODUCED ANNUALLY IN
THIS STATE OF MORE VALUE
THAN NORTHERN GOLD,

Clinton, Aug. 4. Alaska is q great
gold producing territory. When one
thinks OF Alaska, one thinks Of nuggets
Of gold.
The Greater Iowa association Offices
here just received a copy Of the report
of the Federal governme nt of Washing
ton, giving the production of gold in
Alaska for the fiscal year ending July
l, 1918, showing quite an increase in
the total production Of gold In Alaska,
as compared with the previous year.
It shows that during the year Alaska
produced $15,764.250 In gold. It shows
that the total mineral output, including
copper, silver and everything else OF a
mineral nature, amounted during the
year to $1e,11S,0S0.
All the world looks up to Alaska as
great mineral producing section. but
the Greater Iowa association calls the
attention Of Iowans to the fact that the
Iowa hen In her quiet, unostentatious
way laid just $19,ooo,o00 worth Of eggs
during the last twelve months.
There used to be an old, old waEn-
ing" said Secretary Clum today, about
killing the goose that laid the golden
egg. wonder II our Iowa farmers
realize that what used to be true about
the goose Is now true about the Iowa
hen. Surely she is laying golden eggs.
"And wonder If the people OF Iowa
realize that 1t will take Alaska sixty
years to produce any gold, silver cop
per, and other minerals of as much
value as the farms of Iowa produce in
one year, and at that Alaska is as large
as that portion Of the United States
which lies east Of the Mississippi
river"
