In a recent report to the department,
w. A. Dickinson, county agent, Floyd
county, Iowa, attempts TO show why
some farms are more profitable than
others. Owing to the fact that farm
labor has been exceedingly scarce In
some districts during the present sea
son, many operators have attempted to
increase the efficiency of their man
labor as much as possible. They have
done this by using larger machin-
cry and more horse power. They have
also tried to secure q more ever dis
tribution II labor throughout the year
by growing d variety of crops and
keeping live stock. In some cases a
portion of the crop has been harvested
by the live stock. They have also kept
close tab on the work that required
immediate attention. aB6 they have
avoided work which could be. post
poned while more productive work re
ceiyed immediate attention.

sHucK PROTECTION FOR CORN
Many Growers sFaii to Realize They
May Reduce Damage to Grain by
Improving Covering.

prepared by the United States Depart

Most corr growers fail to realize
t,.at by improving the shuck covering
on their corn by selection they may
reduce the amount of damage done
to the grain. Growers generally m
slider nothing but the Ears and kernels
when selecting seed. In weevil-infest-
ed sections I'm particular, variation in
the damage of ears is frequently OBJ

the cause is usually attributed to va
ration In the hardness of the grain.
Weevils attack corn Of all degrees OF
hardness, and their progress In con-
suming the hard corn Is only slower
than that in the soft. Some observers
have concluded that since weeviis are
able to eat the hardest corn, they
would also tut their way through the
most resistant shucks In order to feed
upon the grain, If sufficiently urged by
hunger. Others have observed that
earworms may cut holes through a
large percentage Of the protecting
shucks and that weevils will enter
through these holes, and they have
concluded from this that shuck cover
ing cannot be made a practicable
means of protection. Then. too, there
lis a sentiment on the part of some

GOOD POINTERS
FOR BEEKEEPER
Not Always Easy to Determine
Whether Cellar Is Giving Sat-
isfactory Results.
THERMOMETER IS NECESSARY
Few Measures Given So That Keeper
May Decide Whether Methods
Could Be Improved-There
Should Be No Moisture.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricultural
IT is often difficult for the beekeeper
to know whether his bee ceiiar is CIV
ing the best results, for he may not
have been able to determine from
reading or observation OF other Gel
lars whether II is satisfactory. Below
are given a few measures which the
beekeeper may apply to his apiary
and his cellar. so that he may be abie
to decide whether his methods OK cell
lar wintering should be improved.
ID During the winter a thermome-
ter inserted In the entrance or the
hive should show q temperature OF at
least so degrees Fahrenheit.
(2) There should never be any con-
densed moisture on the covers OF the
hives, and certainly never any on the
bottoms.
Keep Cellar Dark.
(3) While the cellar should be Kept
dark at all times, If a candle Us held
at the entrance of a hive. at the end
F., of January 1t should be several Sec
Onds before any of the bees break
cluster. Frequently the cellar doors
may be opened In March without dis
turbing the bees.
(4) There should never be many
dead bees on the bottom of the hives.
The live bees should be able to push
them out as they die during the win
ter. The bees thus carried out will he
found OIL the cellar floor just below the
entrances. If there are bees all over
the floor, it shows that these bees have
flown from the hives-an indication of
poor wintering.
(5) The bees should be quiet during
the late winter. Noise at this time
indicates that the bees are disturbed
by an accumulation of feces, caused
by low temperatures or poor food.
(6) If the bees were in good condi
ton In the fall and have been wintered
well, the loss during the winter viii
never be more than one-sixth of the to
tai population of the hive. Such
loss is excessive, however, and in 8
well-wintered colony 1t may be as low
as a hundred bees. This probably de
ponds to a large extent on the age o.
the bees which go into winter, and 1
the temperature is right, and the stores
good there will be almost no loss o
vigorous bees.
