USING CLOVER IN ROTATION
Crop Pays by Making Land More Fer
tile Besides Yielding Supply Of
Hay at Ohio Station.

Have you planned to seed more land
to clover this spring? The crop pays
by making the land more fertile, be-
sides yielding a good hay crop. For II
years at the Ohio experiment station
corn on unfertilized land yielded c.
bushels more to the acre In a three
year rotation Of corn. wheat and clo-
yer than in q five-year rotation Of corn,
oats, wheat, clover and timothy. On
MANFRED land In the three-year rota-
ton during this time corn yielded 81
bushels more to the acre than In the
fve-year rotation, ever though more
manure was applied In the latter TO
tation. The experiment station credits
this increased yield Of cOrn largely to
the clover because it comes once In
three instead Of once IN five years.

SHIELD PLANTS FROM WORMS
Stems Of Tomato, Cabbage and Other
Plants Wrapped With Strong Pa
per Will Keep Pests Away.

Protect as many plants as YOU can
by wrapping the stems with strips Of
tough manila paper about three
inches square. This will protect to-
mato, cabbage and other plants. To
so pounds of bran add one pound OF
paris green, two quarts cheap mo-
~lasses, and enough water to make a
mash. Lay this down at night, put
ting q ~teaspoonful or less in a place.
StreW it thinly along rows of lettuce
and similar plants. Mix only enough
to use at one time, and put it out
twice a week as long as the attacks
continue. 1t will kill chickens or fowls
If they get it, but in q few days it
dries up, and they will not modest 1t.
This is most effective if put down
early in spring before there are any
plants for the cutworm to attack.

The making of honey Is a side issue
in the important work of bees, accord
ing to DR.. J. II. Merrill. assistant pro-
fessor of entomology in the Kansas
State Agricultural college. Without
bees there would be little fruit and
little alfalfa or clover seed.
"The strawberry is a plant for which
Insects are necessary to produce good
fruit" said Doctor Merrill. sin some
varieties the Staminate and pistillate
flowers are borne on different plants.
Experiments have been undertaken to
determine whether the wind could
carry pollen. Gelatin plates were ex-
posed which would contain pollen
grains Is carried by the wind. In not
q single case were pollen grains Of the
strawberry found. The regular pol
linators Of the strawberry are honey
bees and other small bees.
"Bees are important in pollinating
the cucumber. Tomatoes are sometimes
self-pollinated, but bees are an impor-
tant factor in producing good fruit.
The size Of the fruit is slightly in

TO IMPROVE POTATOES
New Varieties Being Developed
by Agricultural Department.
Experiments Also Being Conducted 20
Determine Factors Necessary for
Production Of Tubers Free
From Disease.

(From Annual Report OF Chief Of Bureau
OF Plant Industry
The department is conducting q
number of potato Investigations, chief
ly at Pressure Isle, Me-; Greeley, Colo. ;
Jerome, Idaho; and Norfolk, Va. One
Of the main features Of the work is
the development, from seed, Of new
varieties of potatoes specially suited
for certain purposes and adapted to
the special growing region in which
such products can most economically
be produced. A large number Of seed
lings have been grown and those Of
greatest promise only retained, of
which there are some 800 considered Of
sufficient value to warrant further test
ing. These are being tried out in CO.
operation with the various state sta
tons, and as soon as they have proved
their worth in any locality arrange
ments will be made to establish the
variety in the region to which it is
best adapted.
Disease-Frec Tubers.
Experiments leading to a determine
ton of the factors necessary for the
production of disease-free potatoes in
Western irrigated sections have shown
that organisms capable Of causing dis
eases Of potatoes + probably pres
ent in all desert lands. but that land
previously in cultivation with grain
and alfalfa may, when d~isease-free
seed is planted, produce n crop COM
paratively free from disease. In south
ern Idaho the experiments on the con-
troll Of powdery dry rot in storage
have been completed and show that
the losses can be prevented by careful
harvesting to avoid mechanical In
juries and by keeping the storage cell
lar at a temperature between 35 and
40 degrees Fahrenheit, with proper
ventilation. When it is necessary to
store in poorly ventilated or improp-
erly cooled houses the disease may be
effectively checked by disinfection
with corrosive sublimate or formalde-
hyde, provided this is done within "a
hours after digging.
powdery Scab Disease.
Further surveys have indicated that
the poWdery Scab disease is confined to
six sections of the United States, all of
these being northern except one local
ity in Florida. In every case these
areas are in sections with consider
able rainfall, where soil conditions are
such that poor drainage prevails. 1t
has been found that the disease can be
lessened by the application Of seed

causing serious loss in the Delta dis
trict of California, has been discov-
cred, and experiments have shown that
it can be controlled by careful harvest
ing and sorting before shipment.

Kidney & Co.
(BY DR.. J. Il. WATSON)

2 The kidneys and the skin work in har-
mony. They're companions, the skin
being the second partner. If we are
anxious to keep well and preserve the
vitality OF the kidneys and, also, free the
blood from noxious elements, we must
pay special attention to a good action Of
the skin and to see that the kidneys are
flushed so as to eliminate the poisons
from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in a bath,
at least once a week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition. Flush
the kidneys by drinking plenty of pure
water with meals and between meals.
Occasionally obtain at the nearest drug
store Anuric, which will help flush the
kidneys and the intestines. You will find
that Anuric is many times more active
than lithia and that it dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.
