EARLY FALL FLOWING URGED
Practice Is Bank Balance Booster
Because II Returns Best Crops
for Several Seasons.

Early fall blowing is bank bal

best crops. 1t does this for several
reasons. says Andrew Boss, vice di-
rector of the Minnesota experiment

It gives a longer period for the de-
composition OF the stubbIe and other
particles of vegetable matter turned

II opens the soil to the fall rains.
1t helps to dispose of weeds which
interfere with growth Of crops.
II lessons the amount Of spring

VALUE OF BARNYARD MANURE
proteetion Necessary to Preserve Its
Fertility Is Not Recognized by
All Farmers.

The value of barnyard' manure has
eswnys been recognized, but the protec-
tion necessary to preserve the fertility
of the manure has not been recognized.
The value of manure on different soils
Is illustrated by experiments In differ
ent parts of the state by the Missouri
College of agriculture. AS an average
q. all experiments on outlying fields
bnrnyard manure has brought return
Of 81 10 ton. although on some of the
fields the return has exceeded So a
ton On one experimental field the re-
turn has been at the rate of $4.10 a
ton. These experiments show that the
farmer who is not caring for his ma
nure is overlooking a most important
source Of revenue.

PERSONS OF ROYAL DESCENT
In Natural Course, Millions Might Lay
Claim to Blood of William
the Conqueror.

There are more claims of descent
from William the Conqueror than from
any monarch in the world, and in most
cases q descendant of this king comes
down a line of Is or 20 other royal
personages, although sometimes the
descent from monarch to plain, un-
titled yeoman seems to have been ac-
complished in two or three genera
lions. There is practically no limit TO
his descendants today and one geneal-
ogist says this fact is accounted for by
the statement that, according to the
regular proportion of increase in each
generation since his time, the descend
ants of William the Conqueror would
now number more than twice the pres
ent population of the British isles. &c.
of course. it is very easy to see how
many of them came over to the United
States.

antine.
The cooperation of state authorities
is essential In order to prevent hard
ship IL further infestatiOns should be
discovered Only the prompt action OF
Indiana and Illinois prevented the
placing Of quarantine against oil the
wheat in those states, measure
which would have meant hardship, not
only to all the wheat growers In the
two states, but to dealers, millers and
consumers. Even prompter state action
will be desirable IL either of the dis
eases is found later to exist in any
other state.
Neither of these diseases is likely to
find it's way into the country again
from outside sources. The department
of agriculture has established quaran-
tine regulations against all the rest OF
the world In which either of the dis.
eases exists. No small grain can come
in for any purpose unless it has been
thoroughly sterilized with steam heat
It is the purpose Of the department
say it's officials, to make the cleanup
of these plant plaques as thorough and
as prompt as it did the foot-and-mouth
disease of animals few years ago.

anglers as ''fishin' worms"-but his ia.

mics. The common impression Is that
earthworms are injurious to lawns, but
the United States department of agrt
culture, through its bureau OF ent0.
mology, says that the damage is prob
ably very light. In fact, 1t is believed
that, instead Of being injurious these
worms are really beneficial in increas'
ing the fertility Of the soil by bringing
to the surface soil from lower depth,
and in this way keeping up very
slight but continual top dressing.
Under some circumstances it Is bet
ter that the worms be exterminated,
though they are not Objectionable on
house lawns. When they become nu'
merous on putting green's of golf links
their little earthen pellets are source
Of annoyance. In such cases 1t Is rec
commended by the department ento.
mologists that the soil be drenched
with kerosene emulsion. This treat
ment gives good results against the
common white grub, which is also an
enemy to lawns. Saturating the oil
with a solution of corrosive sublimate
is also recommended, but 1t should De
remembered that this preparation Is
deadly poison, and the greatest care
should be used in its preparation ano
use. Three ounces Of this substance
should be dissolved in two quarts OF
water in some glass or glazed vessel
which will not absorb the poison. The
stock mixture of this preparation ID
sufficient for so gallons Of water, OF
practically the capacity OF the ordi'
nary oil barrel. This diluted mixture
should be applied to the lawn at the
rate of from III to gallons to each
square yard, in case the lawn Is young
or newly established. A stronger APP
plication, not to exceed three gallons
can be used on older sod.

whatever is made of it. All straw ana
stubble are to be burned, threshing
machines are TO be thoroughly d1sln-
fected and no wheat is to be grown In
infected areas for several years.
But Fight Is Not over.
Under these conditions full CONN.,
dence Is felt that neither OF the as
eases will spread from the diseased
areas in Illinois and Indiana. That
does not mean, however, that the nght
against flag smut and take-all IS over
IT is possible that one or both OF the
diseases exist this year in places Where
they have not been recognized. Ihere
is, however no great probability tnat
this is true The department OF agrl-
culture and it's cooperating agencies
have been diligently on the lookout for
these two diseases all summer ana
have found no evidences of them ex-
cent in the two areas. Both flag smut
and take-all occur in Illinois and only
take-aIl in Indiana. The experts, how
ever, realize the possibility that some
infested spots may have escaped oD-
servation and 1t would not be surpris-
ing If diseased fields are found else
where next spring.

Some Soldiers Disregard
Provisions of War Risk

The Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance wishes to emphasize the i'm
portance to service men of one
of the provisions of the War Risk
Insurance Act upon the fulfllment Of
which may depend the validity of
their claim to compensation under
the Act.
The War Risk Insurance Act pro-
vides that No compensation shall
be payable for death or disability
which does not occur prior to or
within one year after discharge or
resignation from the service, except
that where, after a medical exami-
nation made pursuant to regulations,
at the time of discharge or resigna-
ton from the service, or within such
reasonable time thereafter. not ex-
ceeding one year, as may be al
lowed by regulations, a certificate
has been obtained from the director
to the effect that the injured person
at the time of his discharge or resig-
nation was suffering from injury
likely to result in death or dis
ability"
Many discharged men are not
familiar with or are inclined to dis
regard this provision of law and
are allowing their rights Hereunder
to lapse.

toned above should be made 10 the
