The Christmas sale at the superfluity

The Christmas sale at the Superfluity
Shop continues this week with unabat-
ed vim. The ladies in charge are meet
ing with much success and have on hand
many articles for disposal. They have
had calls particularly for a folding table
travelling bag, boys overcoats, holly
and mistletoe, candle sticks and toys.
The ladies who are giving their time to
the Shop ask that those of us at home
sacrifice a few minutes looking around
to see what we may have which we do
not need and could be used by the Su-
perfluity Shop to good advantage.

The Salem Floral society is consid-
ering the proposition of donating plants
to the boys at the penitentiary for them
to use in making flower baskets. The

being very grateful should this be done
The society will take the matter up at
their next meeting, if not before, and
it is probable that those who have
plants adaptable to this use win be ask
ed to donate part of the same to the
boys at the pen.

was the intention to drive them down
the Luekimute to the Willamette and
then tow them to the mill. The present

caused the company to construct boom

DIRECTIONS FOR SOWING WHEAT
Seed and Varieties

ln0 iOtiCS VI VhN@s
grown in Kentucky are the best for
this state. These are Fulz, a
smooth white chaff variety; Cur
relrs Prolific, having a smooth head
with red chaff; Fulcaster, bearded
variety; and Mediterranean or
Four-rowed Fultz.
II necessary TO buy seed one OF
these varieties should be chosen,
and il possible the seed should be
bought in the immediate locality.
Home grown seed is just as good as
Northern seed if reasonably clean
and pure. No farmer can afford TO
buy enough high priced seed from
a distance to plant his whole crop,
and pay freight charges in addition,
lust to have absolutely pure seed.
A moderate admixture Of other va
rieties will not decrease the yield.
The important thing is to have seed
free from rye, cheat, and especially
cookie and onions.
Seed wheat should be cleaned in
order to remove light shrunkca
grains, dirt and other impurities.
There is no advantage in screening
out small grains if they are plump
Smut Treatment
Sinking smut sometimes causes
considerable loss in Kentucky. 1t
can be controlled so cheaply and
easily that there is little excuse for
having smutty wheat. The formal
dehyde treatment is the easiest to
give and is perfectly effective. This
is applied as follows: Spread the
wheat out on the floor or clean
canvas and sprinkle until thoroughly
wet with a solution made by adding
one pound OF formaldehyde to n
barrel $50 gallons) of water. Then
shovel into a heap and cover with
canvas or sacks for few hours:
spread and dry sufficiently to sow.
Fertilizing Wheat
No fertilizers should be used in
the Central Blue Grass section this
fall. In the fertilizer tests conduc-
ted by the Experiment Station
not a single bushel Of increase has
ever been obtained on wheat, in the
Central Blue Grass section. by the
use of any kind of commercial fer
tilizer at sowing time.
Everywhere outside OF the Blue
Grass section fertilizer which sup
plies phosphorus only should be
used. No farmer can afford to use
commercial nitrogen and potash at
present prices, even if they give
some increase which is entirely UNI
likely. Acid phosphate, steamed
bone meal, or basic Stag supply
phosphorus. Two hundred pounds
per acre OF one Of these should be
used on every acre Of wheat sown
in the State this fall outside OF the
Blue Grass region.
The experiments OF the station
on its soil field in various areas o.
the State have shown remarkable
increases from the use OF lime, on
all soils where phosphorus is need

ed. Ground limestone used in con-
nection with phosphorus is certain
TO be profitable provided 1t can be
obtained at reasonable price.
Preparation of the Seed Bed
Wheat grows best in a firm seed
bed. Under no circumstances should
the land be plowed when wheat fol-
lows corn, tobacco, COW peas, soy
beans, or any cultivated crop. The
best preparation is a light disking
to cover trash and loosen up enough
soil TO cover the seed. After diskiRg
a plank drag should be used to level
the land. If it is necessary to disk
deeply to cover trash, as is some
times true of corn land. q roller
should be used to compact the seed
bed.
When land is plowed, the blowing
should be done as early as the re-
moval of the preceding crop per-
mits. so that the seed bed may be
gotten firm. The later the plow-
ing is done, the greater the neces-
sity for thorough working, especial
ly rolling. Without any exception
il pays to prepare seed bed some
time before sowing the seed if it can
possibly be done.
Time of Planting
Experiments have shown that
October ist to 10th is the safest time
to plant wheat in Kentucky, every
thing considered. In southern parts
of the state it is safer to wait until
October 10th to Goth when there
seems much danger Of Hessian fly
ATTACKS. Late seeding is the only
possible way of controlling this pest.
Seeding Wheat
II pays to sow five to six pecks
OF seed per acre in Kentucky. The
Station has proved this by repeated
experiments. Except under the
most favorable conditions, as when
wheat is sown rather early on rich
tobacco land or on fallow land, six
pecks pays better than five. Beware
of seedsmen who advertise varieties
IT wheat which requires a seeding
of only a peck or two per acre
There is absolutely no variety oil
wheat that gives as profitable yields
at this rate as at five to six pecki
per acre.
Probably the most satisfactory
drill is the single disk type that puts
the drill rows seven inches apart
Experiments have shown no advan-
tage in having the rows closer thar
this. The much advertised foul
inch drills give no better yields thar
the ordinary type. if indeed as good
Wheat should never be sown deep
er than is necessary to get the sect
in moist soil and perfectly covered
Many poor stands OF wheat are due
TO covering unnecessarily deep
Wheat should be drilled carefully
so that there will be no skips an6
wide spaces between the drill
rounds. Poor drilling frequent,
contributes considerably to low
yields.
