PLANT HARDWOOD TREE SEED
Mulch Around Young Trees viii Fur
nish Ample Protection From Sc
we're Winter Weather.

In raising hardwoods from seeds,
species having soft, unprotected seeds.
such as elms and soft naples, should
be planted as soon as the seeds fall.
The hard, nutlike seeds from such
trees as oaks, hickories, walnuts, but
ternuts, should be gathered in the fall,
buried either in sand In the cellar or
in well-drained sandy soil outside. and
planted in the spring Just as soon as
they are taken out of the sand.
The seeds can be planted in garden
rows. spacing the seeds about six
inches apart, or with a dibble the nuts
can be planted In specially prepared
spots where the trees are to remain.
Soft. delicate seeds, like the elm, how
ever. should be planted in the garden
and transplanted after they are two
years old.
A mulch around the young trees will
furnish good protection for the win
ter.
Young trees should be trimmed from
the start. In order to give the best
growth and shape. -.

into bloom. they should be clipped
early. A height of four to six inches,
just before going into the winter, is
the most favorable condition.
The preparation of the land on
which red clover is to be seeded next
spring should be considered this fall.
In most parts of Iowa and Illinois, the
application of lime will benefit red
clover. On some lands it is absolutely
essential for a good stand. Lime is
best applied when the land is being
prepared for wheat. An application of
two tons of fine-ground limestone is
commonly enough. although on badly
rundown land or on land known to
be very sour, three tons per acre may
be applied with profit. Clover also
needs phosphates. and 200 to $50
pounds per acre should be drilled in
with the wheat. Both wheat and
clover will benefit.
Red clover seed is likely to remain
high-priced for year or two at least,
and farmers will find it profitable to
devote all the care necessary to pre-.
pairing their land so as to give the
clover crop every possible chance.

PROPER STORAGE FOR ONIONS
Loose Skins, Dirt and Deeaying speeI-
mems Should Be Removed-ventI-
iation Important.

Before onions are put In storage or
on the market. they should be screened
to remove loose skins. dirt and soft or
decaying specimens.
Onions in storage require plenty Of
ventilation. For this reason they must
be stored in small quantities where
there is a cool temperature and dry
ness. The bulbs should be spread out
several inches deep on slat racks or
placed in crates. Because Of the diff
ficulty experienced in ventilating them
thoroughly. bags or bins are not so
satisfactory. In special storage houses
the temperature is kept as cool as pos
sible. safely above the freezing point.
Where onions are not used until spring,
they are sometimes allowed to freeze
hard and then covered with n heavy
layer of straw or hay to prevent them
from thawing until late winter or early
sprlng.-Pennsylvania State College.

Investigations are in progress by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, in cooperation with a number of
state experiment stations and individ-
ual farmers, to learn more about
wheat scab and methods of controlling
it.
No entirely satisfactory control of
this disease has been developed, be-
cause the scab fungi develop on SO
many different kinds of grains and
grasses and on cornstalks, stubble.
straw and other trash. Two things,
however, are regarded as important.
First, the best wheat obtainable should
be used for seed. This should be thor
oughly cleaned and treated by the for
maldehyde method recommended for
the prevention of smut. Second. this
wheat should be sOwn on thoroughly
plowed land-land where the old corn
stalks, wheat stubble and grass straw
have been entirely plowed under. This
can be accomplished by use of drag
chain. All grass and straw should be
burned or otherwise removed from
hedges, fence rows, fence corners and
nearby waste places. These waste
places should be either plowed or
burned off.
Wheat Scab Takes Heavy Toll.
Winter wheat everywhere east of the
Great Plains was heavily infected with
scab this year. Spring wheat also suf-
fered greatly and many spring wheat
fields were left uncut, due chiefly to
the ravages of scab. The states suffer-
ing the greatest losses of both spring
and winter wheat include Missouri,
Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wis
consin, Michigan, Illinois. Indiana,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virgin
ia, West Virginia, North Carolina.
Kentucky and Tennessee.
This disease of wheat Is caused by
several different fungi which attack
the crop at various stages of develop
ment. The seedlings are blighted, the
roots rotted and the plants weakened
to such an extent that they are win.

Scab Fungus Attacks Com.
OF those fungi known to cause scab
in wheat the most important one also
attacks corn. One of the ways 1t lives
over winter is on the decaying corn
stalks left on the ground in the fields.
Wheat is often sown on the corn land
with these cornstalks left on tae sur
face. The following season the fungus
spreads from the infected cornstalks
to the wheat heads and causes blight
Ing.
In addition to wheat and corn. the
disease attacks rye. oats, barley and
many grasses. The scab fungi also
live over winter on the infected Stub
BILE and decaying straw left on top Of
the ground, and on infected grass
stems left around the edges of the
field. These fungi spread from this
material to the next seasons crop.
Prevent Winter Killing.
1t Is common practice In some sec
tions of the winter wheat belt to
spread straw on the winter wheat af-
ter the ground Is frozen, In order to
hold the snow. Clean straw from win

is not dangerous In spreading scab to
the next years crop. This straw holds
the snow and moisture and prevents
the plants from being broken by the
wind. When plowed under the next
summer 1t adds humus to the soil.
Turn the stock into the straw piles
from the badly diseased wheat and
spread the manure on the ground the
following year. Such straw should
never be spread on the fields, for 1t Is
