OLD RECORDS
 DISCOVERED

Edmonton, Jan. 14 - News of a discovery by the Canadian explorer Steransscn, of records made by one of the Franklin Arctic exploration parties 62 years ago, is contained in the detailed report Of his eek ploration received here recently.
 The records were those left by NIcClutock, an explorer who head ed oue cf the parties which went in search of Franklin in 1853. Cur iousIy they were found by stefans- son in the same month and same date of the month as they were de- posted, June 15, 1853. By an- other coincidence, McClintocks re- cords, left in a cavern near Cape McClintock tell of this explorers intention to travel three days west ward in search of new land. stef- fanssOn instead traYelei three days north and made his discovery of q new continent, as has been recorded

 Stefansson is now in camp on the north end of Banks Land, if he has not already reached Prince Pat ricl, Island. At the latter place he expects to establish a winter base as far north as possible. In Feb ruary he will start ar exploring trip over the ice of the Beautort Sea. The explorer is of thee opin- ion that the newly found land ne has discovered will not extend very far west.

ALFALFA IN OHIO

That "alfa1fa on every farm" will
be realized in Ohio as far as it is
possible within the next few years, is
the prediction of John Begg, of Put
nam County, Ohio. He has just re-
turned from a speaking tour at
farmers Institutes, throughout Ohio.
He reports that the subjects of alfalfa
was on nearly every program and
that the conditions under which the
crop can best be grown are becoming
better understood each year. Soil fer
tility was also foremost among the
subjects discussed and Mr.. Begg re-
ports that Ohio farmers are seeing
the necessity of making and caring
for their manures better than in
former days and that they also see
the need of adding commercial ferti-
lizer to balance up their manure and
render it more efficient. The bulletins
of the Ohio Experiment Station he
recommends highly to farmers who
are interested in improving their soils

FERTILIZER PROBLEMS.

Is it better with high-priced ferti-
lizer to skimp the amount and run
the risk of decreased crop yields or
should the proper amount be supplied
for the soil and crops? Because of
the lack of potash and the high cost
of nitrogen and phosphoric acid, the
fertilizer problem is more acute than
usual. What to buy and how much to
use will be the pointed questions this
season. The use of commercial ferti-
lizer is regulated by several factors.
The fertilizer, the crops produced, the
type of soil on which they are grown
and the system of farming must be
considered to buy economically. The
Extension Service of the College of
Agriculture has arranged to send soil
Specialists to visit farmers during
August and September. They will test
soil for acidity, discuss soil and fer
tilizer problems and advise in buying
fertilizer. To secure a visit, which
IS free, from one of these men, read
ers OF this paper should write to

FLOWING CHECKS HEssIAN FLY.


An opportune time is now at hand
to observe the actions of the Hessian
Fly in your community or in your own
wheat. If it is there in large num-
bers, as you will find by looking for
the "fiaxseed" stage of the pest, it is
time now that you begin to plan a
fight.
There are two broods, the spring
and the fall. The spring brood doesn't
migrate and here is your chance to
kill thousands of them. 1t will be
improbable for you to burn the stub
BILE where they live, and the best way
to handle them is to plow Immediately
after the crop is off. Once turned
under, they never come out.
This same plowing will do some
thing else 1t will be the means of
enabling you to plow deeper for the
crop that is to follow. Frequent har-
rowing will keep the weeds down, con-
serve the moisture and set free plant
food. Along with this, commercial
fertilizer, so important in feeding the
land for maximum yields, will do its
best.
Experiments in Kansas showed that
the yield of wheat was increased as
much as 21 bushels per acre on land
that was summer plowed, as compar-
ed to the yield plowed just before the
seeding.

ELECTRICITY AS FREE AS
AIR IS INVENTORS AIM

An invention which it's originator
claims will make electricity almost as
free as air has been produced after
four years of experimenting. The in
1yentor is a Kansas City, Mo-, man who
has been a practical electrician many
years and in recent months has de-
voted considerable means and prac-
tically all his waking hours to con-
structing what he calls an electrical
accumulation. The apparatus, he claims
collects and stores electric energy from
tie air, which by transformers can be
reduced to suitable voltages for vari-
Gus purposes, such, for example, as
supplying lighting circuit.
Since no details of the invention
have been given out nor any public
demonstrations given, it is, of course,
impossible at the present time to form
an opinion as to its practicability.-

ANALYSE YOUR SOIL.

At the present time, when your
wheat is ripening, is your opportunity
to get a line on" the needs of your
soil for the crops that are to follow.
This is easy since we know that as
concerns the soil there are two essen
tials to a successful wheat crop, a
sweet soil and a fertile soil. The first
can be determined by a Litmus paper
test. Get nickels worth of blue lit
mus paper at the drug store, pack
some of the soil from your field into
a ball, seeing that it is moist; then
break the ball in halves, lay a strip
of the paper between them and press
firmly into a ball again. Allow this
to remain from two to four minutes,
break open and see what has happen
ed. If the paper is red, your soil is
sour, and what must be done to in
sure good crops is to apply air-slack-
ed lime at the rate of from 500 to
1000 pounds per acre or ground lime
stone at the rate of to tons can be
used. Do this after the wheat is out
and the land plowed.
AS concerns the fertility of your
soil you can observe the growing crop
and tell approximately the needs of
the soil. We know that ammonia makes
a quick start and large vegetative
growth; that phosphoric acid hastens
maturity and puts the plumpness in
to the grain, and that it is potash that
puts the stiffness in the straw. Are
the stalks short and spindling? Do
the heads fill out, and are the grains
plump? Does the straw lodge, or fall
down? If these things happen it is
mute appeal from your land that it
needs a properly balanced ration in
order to carry through to maturity
and heavy yield the crops that are
sown on it.
We have seen old feed lots make
six foot straw, yet yield not over 2(
bushels of wheat per acre. The trouble
here was that there was too much
ammonia in proportion to the amount.
of available phosphoric acid and po
tash. Very few of US indeed would
say that an old feed lot would neeC
fertilizer, but this is just what i
does need, in order to balance the sup
ply of plantfood and in this way en-
able it to put forty bushels of whea
on the forty bushel straw which i
grows. The same thing is true o
heavy rich soils, and of course wher
the soil is poor in everything, ferti
lizer should be applied which fur
nishes all the elements needed.

Credit was given to a Los Angeles
pattolman for covering what is termed

PROFITS AND SIZE OF FARMS

''Let it be remembered that there is
more profit in a large yield on small
er area than a smaller yield on a
large area. If you have small farm
it is much better to have it well-drain-
ed and fertilized so that you will get
a large yield from few acres" says
Abe T. Hazelrigg, Vigo County, In
diana, who believes it is possible for
every farmer to grow 80 to 100 bushel
of corn per acre. Remember that the
productiveness of the land must be
maintained and the crops furnished
with plantfood so that they can pro-
duce large yields proftably. Every
farmer should study his soils and his
crops and adapt his methods to
them"

JUNIOR CONTESTS
Fulton County Boys and Girls Who
Are In Training To Become The
Best Farmers In The NatiOn-L-
beral Prizes and Valuable Trips to
be Gained.

Who will be the winners in the
Boys and Girls Club Work conducted
in the county through the cooperation
OF the county school superintendent
and the fair association with the Agri-
cultural College Extension Service of
the Ohio State University? The total
enrolment in all the clubs of the
county is now lis; 46 are in the pig
growing clubs, 36 in the poultry rails
ing and 80 in the home making clubs,
and in the Daily Record Club.
During June and July a specialist
from the University will visit the club
members giving them instruction in
the canning of fruits and vegetables
and the growing of livestock. At the
county fair this fall the boys and girls
in the pig growing clubs will exhibit
their products and compete in the
judging contests. The girls in the
Home Making Clubs will exhibit bread
canned fruit and vegetables. Through
the summer all members of the clubs
will receive instruction by bulletins
from the University.
Liberal prizes have been offered by
the fair association for the winners
in each of the club projects and the
three boys who make the highest rec
ord will be given a free trip by The
Ohio State University to Farmers
Week at Columbus next year. The
champion girl of the county will re-
ceive a week of free instruction at the
College of Agriculture.
The club work is the result of ma
tion-wide movement by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
interesting farm boys and girls in be-
coming the best farmers of the nation.
In many states the girls have canned
large amounts of garden products
which were formally wasted and boys
have shown that they can raise pork
cheaper than their fathers.

ASHLAND COUNTY FRUIT YIELDS

Five thousand bushels of apples
were grown on a seven and one half
acre orchard by Thos. Thornberg, in
Ashland County, Ohio. During 1912,
1913 and 1914 the same orchard pro-
duced over 1900 bushels of apples on
land that produced but six bushels of
wheat per acre at the time the orchard
was set out. Mr.. Mr.. Thornberg cul-
tivated the orchard for the first five
years and has since kept up the grass
mulch. The land was well fed with a
heavy coat of manure and liberal ap-
plication of a high-grade fertilizer
when it was planted and the same
profitable management has since been
maintained.
