SET FLY TRAPS

The big fly traps are very efficient
in the stables. Place one on the
back porch and several in the barns
and stables. Five or six are none too
many for the most farms. Make them
10 inches square and 30 inches high
if you cannot buy them.
Persistent trapping and breaking
up of nests at intervals from 10 to IL
days will greatly reduce the visible
supply of English sparrows, espec-
tally if the people of the whole neigh
borhood work together. Some people
put up boxes for the sparrows to use
and not destroy the nests, but catch
the sparrows at night by the use of a
net on a pole.

Practical FARMING.
HeLpful Gathered from Reliable Sources
Of Interest to Fdyner

therefore, is, that after May 25th the
crops that may be sown or planted of
greatest promise are barley, millet,
and corn. To sow other crops would
be to inYite the risk of failure.
Under existing conditions why would
it not be good plan for farmers of
North Dakota and Montana to sum-
mer fallow large portion of the land
in 1916, and thus prepare it for grow
ing a good crop in 1917. This sug-
gestion will be specially appliable to
Western North Dakota and Montana
where the normal precipitation runs
low.
The farmers should not take chan
IS. To do so is in a sense gamble.
If the backward seasons forbids the
sowing of wheat on time, wheat should
not be sown. Some other crop, as for
instance, millet, corn or alfalfa, cannot
! be planted on time, then there is still
resource. That resource is the sum-
mer fallow. The summer fallow is
too little in evidence in North Dakota.
1t is more frequently in evidence in
Montana, for the necessity for this
was impressed upon the farmers in
the first years of settlement.
The aim should be, where crops can
not be planted on time, to summer
fallow the land. Such course will
give no return for the current year
but it will bring an increased return
in the years that will follow from the
same and. The weeds of North Oak
