dams have demonstrated that in
these varieties there are many the
value OF which seems to have been
overlooked for breeding purposes.
The Assiniboine and Mandan tribes
Rave both sweet and field varieties
that surpass commercial sorts in
earliness. Others. particularly the
Omaha and Otoe tribes, have varie-
ties showing a remarkable develop
ment of slender, leafy stalks suitable
for forage. II is planned by the De-
partment of Agriculture to study
these and other Indian varieties, with
a view to providing breeding mater
isi for the Improvement of CONNER

qualities of Chinese waxy corn have
been repeatedly demonstrated, and

hybrid varieties is being investigat-
"a.

Farms Need Iaborers.

Employment agents in the cities
are besieged with requests from farm
ers and gardeners for farm workers
and mixers at from s25 to $40 a
month, with board and lodging. For
every ten demands made for this
class of employees only one man is
supplied, and frequently he is mex
perienced and unable to perform the
duties required. Employment agents
are doing their utmost to obtain
farm and garden workers by offering
highly increased wages, but their APP
peals are unheeded. The public en-
ployment bureau said that existing
conditions were unprecedented and
that there was no relief in sight un-

DISCRIMINATING Moles.

The mole lives on insects and in
most locations is more beneficial than
harmful, but it becomes a decided
nuisance in garden or lawn. Since
moles do not eat vegetable substances
they cannot be very successfully pois-
oned. The only practical way OF
killing them is to use traps. Ordi-
nary traps, such as are used for catch
ing rats and other rodents, cannot he
used for catching moles. Special
mole traps can be secured. These
are Of three different types-the har-
pooh, scissor-jaw and choker. They
should be set in freshly broken tun-
nels and visited at least twice a day.
Freshly broken soil usually indicates
that the runway is in ase. When in
doubt a small break may be made in
the ridge. If the mole is using the
tunnel il will be repaired in a few
hours.
Moles are quite persistent in re-
pairing breaks in their tunnels, and
may often be surprised at their work
and be thrown out with a fork or
spade. These little animals are some
times successfully trapped in empty
glass jars of gallon size. The jar
should be set along a runway that is
in use. The excavation should be
deep enough to receive the jar and
allow its top to be somewhat below
the bottom of the tunnel. A sod may
then be placed over the excavation so
as to cover it without obstructing the
mouth of the jar. The mole in com
ing along the tunnel falls into the
jar and cannot climb out. The sue
cess of this method of trapping de-
ponds upon the skill used in placing
the jar.

Value of Manure.

The farms of Missouri alone pro-
duce each year 100000 tons of ma
nure containing plant food worth
$160, 100000, or more than is paid
for all the commercial fertilizer sold
in the United States" writes NJ. F.
Miller of the Missouri College of
Agriculture. To put it in another
way, the annual manure crop. so it
must be we'll worth saving. Unfor-
tunately it deteriorates rapidly, unless
carefully handled. Valuable plant
food is lost so rapidly from manure
if heating and fermentation take
place or If the rain water is allowed
to run through it. Experiments
have shown that a least 40 per cent
of the food may be lost in this way
in six months. This amounts to a
loss of $64,000.00O il Missouri ma
nure is badly handled. or perhaps of
$50, 900. 900, since so per cent loss
is more nearly what will actually re-
suit, according to facts recently Sc
cured by the Missouri Agricultural
Experiment Station.
Even under the best of circum-
stances some loss is sure to occur
but it should be reduced as low as
possible. This may be done by feed
ing under cover on an earth floor, or
still better, upon a cement floor. In
the latter case the loss of plant food
should be small.
Probably one other method excels
this, and that is one which allows
the droppings to be deposited in the
field, where they are SO scattered
that no heating or fermentation can
take place, and all plant food which
is leached out goes directly into the
soil. Much of the advantage of this
method is lost in case of steep hill
sides. In case of dairy cows, haul
ing the manure to the field daily with
a spreader, where this can be done,
allows of very little loss.
After the manure has been scat
tered evenly and thinly by the
spreader or by hand care should be
taken TO see that il is worked into
the soil by disking or blowing under
soon enough so that il will decay.
Undecayed straw in the manure may
help to prevent loss by soil washing,
but in dry seasons, unless plowed UNI
der early. il may leave the soil so
open that il will dry too rapidly, to
the detriment OF the crop. A thor
ough Incorporation of manure with
the soil well in advance of planting
the crop is good practice.
