United States trade with China in
creased in 1915, although foreign bust
ness men throughout the world suf-
fered a loss of more than 500, OOO, 600
in their exports to that country last
year. China has for years been in an
unsettled condition, yet the country's
foreign trade mounted higher and high
er until the European war, when the
trade was crippled. Wherever a rail
road has been built in China new trade
opportunities have sprung up and new
markets have been created. On the

OF upward OF 75,OOO,OOO, no adequate
transportation facilities exist, and no

REMOVE WEEDS FROM GARDEN
Plants Rob Crops Of Food and Moisture
-Harbor Injurious Insects and
Encourage Disease.

(By J. 8. GARDNER, Missouri Agricul.
tural Experiment Station.)
If the weeds have f1ourished in your
garden, or in parts of it. NOW them
down, now If they have not gone to
seed. they can be plowed under later
to help out the stable manure you ap-
ply, but if they have, they should be
removed from the garden and thrown
on the compost heap; composing kills
weed seed.
Weeds are expensive things to have
in gardens Or anywhere else; they rob
garden crops of food and moisture,
many Of them r natural food for all
kinds Of insects, which, when they
have dcyourcd the choice parts of
weeds, attack adjacent garden crops.
Weeds may also support plant dis
eases that would otherwise die and
they induce mildews and rusts by re-
ducins air and sunlight around the
garden plants. These weeds are now
going to seed, end winter winds will
jar that seed out, and the chances for
q heavy stanG of weeds next spring
will be quite good.
Other good things to remove now,
and as the later crops mature, are
the crop remnants, especially If there
has been disease OF insect infection.
Dead stalks are wintering-oyer places
for diseases and insects.
Stalks removed had best be burned,
though if a compost pile is made, the
inscct-infested stalks may be burned
on 1t. Disease spores survive the com-
posting temperature; burning is safest.

An Adjustable Drag.

pieces s inches apart, letting them
lean forward at a 45-degree angle with
the ground. The four thin pieces just
in the opposite direction to brace the
former. The two short pieces 90 across
the end. This makes the drag just
the same as a flight Of steps laid fiat
on the ground. When a heavy drag is
wanted, simply fill in on top with dirt
until as heavy as wanted. If a light
drag is desired, leave off the dirt.

WEEDS TAKE MUCH MOISTURE
Many Plants Particularly Liberal in
Use Of Water intended for the
Growing Crop.

The sunflower. Russian thistle, smart
weed and many other weeds are par
ticularly liberal in using the water
supply intended for the growing crop.
It Is not only because of the water
used that weeds inirIe crops, but also
because they use plant food which has
been dissolved in the soil and which
should be used by the useful plants.
The shading effect OF rapidly growing
weeds likewise Injuries the youlg corn.

TIMELY FARM HINTS.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The old gardener says to look out
for frost in spring or autumn, when
the sunshine is very hot and the shade
very cold and tie shadows very deep.
This indicates that the air is dry ana
radiation little checked.
Making smudge in the garden at
night when frost is expected and
spraying the plants thoroughly at the
same time will help in preventing dam
age to plants by frost.
Beans, corn, cucumbers, eggplant,
melons, okra, pepper, pumpkins
squash, sweet potato, and tomato are
the vegetables most likely to be dam
aged by slight frosts.
Ringing fruit trees is recommended
by some agriculture and fruit publica-
tons. Unless the trees are to be ruin
ed do not indulge in ringing.
1t is surprising how much fruit can
be had from a small strawberry patch
properly cared for, and for flavor no
store berries ever compare. Try plant
ing strawberry beds of the best varie-
ties.
Never use lime on land where straw
berries are to be planted. For fertiliz-
er use acid phosphate in small quaint
ties.
