REASONS FOR FALL FLOWING
Longer Period Given for Decomposi-
ton Of Stubbe and Other Pieces
Of Vegetable Matter.

Fall blowing is a bank balance
booster because it returns the best
crops. It does this for several reasons.
says Andrew Boss, vice director Of
the Minnesota experiment station,
University farm, st. Paul:
1t gives longer period for the de-
composition of the stubble and other
particles Of vegetable matter turned
under in blowing.
1t opens the soil to the fall rains.
It helps to dispose of weeds which
interfere with growth of crops.
1t lessons the amount Of spring work
and thereby allows the prompt sowing
of the crops in the spring.
It enables one to avoid crowding at
any time, and, therefore, is beneficial
both to men and horses.

GIVE HARNESS PROPER CARE
First Wash With Warm Water and
Soap, and While Still Moist
Oil It Thoroughly.

To oil harness correctly, first wash
the harness thoroughly with warm
water and soap. Then hang the har-
ness up to dry. Do not let it get dry,
but when it is still moist, rub it thor
oughly with some animal or vegetable
oil. Pure neats-fOot oil is the best oil
known. This renews the softness Of
the leather and it's f1exibility. Do not
use mineral oils on harness, for it
has destructive effect, say the farm
engineering authorities at Iowa State
college who make the foregoing recon-
mendationS.

and yellow trefoil grow, 1t is unneces
sary to inoculate for alfalfa.
Soil Should Be Neutral.

The soil should be neutral in order
that the alfalfa bacteria may thrive.
and unless the soil conditions are gen.
orally good it is impossible to grow
alfalfa on a commercial scale.
Quite commonly the farmer secures
his incubation material from an old
sweet clover or bur clover field, or else
from an old alfalfa sod, applying the
lnoculated soil on cloudy day or dur
ing the evening in order that the al
falfa bacteria may not be injured by
the bright sunlight. Investigations
have shown, however, that there is
less danger of permanently injuring
the alfalfa bacteria by sunlight than
was formerly supposed, and although
1t is not advisable to court trouble by
needlessly exposing incubation mate
rial, this dirt, if necessary, can bear
sunlight for several hours without
severe injury.
NoduIes Are Essential.
1t IS essential that the soil, if taken
from old alfalfa fields, should be from
those plots where the alfalfa plants
show numerous nOduleS upon their
roots. Such soil, well dried, pulver-
lied, and sifted through a window
screen, is best applied to the new field
through the fertilizer attachment Of
a grain drill, by the use of a lime
spreader followed by smoothing har-
row, or by distributing it with the
aid of an end gate sower attached to
a wagon box. Two hundred pounds
or more of sifted field soil will be
sufficient for an acre: It is neces-
sary in obtaining the material to re-
move from the surface or inches
of soil and to obtain the inoculating
material from the underlying 6 or Z
inches. Broadcasting the soil by hand
requires larger quantity and is best
done in the early morning, late eve
ming, or on cloudy days in order to
minimize tlae damage effected by the
suns rays.
The glue method Of incubation was
widely practiced several years ago in
Illinois. 1t consists of moistening the
alfalfa seed with ordinary furniture
glue and then sprinkling inoculated
soil over it so that the soil will adhere
to the seed and carry the bacteria on
to the new field. Specifically, this
method consists in dissolving two
handfuls of glue for every gallon of
boiling water and then allowing the
solution to cool. Then the seed should
be placed in a washtub and enough of
the solution sprinkled over the seed
to moisten it, but not enough to wet
the seed, one quart to the bushel usu-
ally being adequate. The soil from
the inoculated field should be dried in
the shade, pulverized into a fine dust
and scattered uniformly over the seed
from one-half to one gallon of dirt be-
Ing sufficient Tor each bushel of seed

NO EMBARGO PLEASES
CITY BUSINESS MEN

Local business Interests are very
much pleased at the announcement
made by officials OF the United States
Railroad Administration that the car
loan freight embargo which has been
in effect against Wilmington sor sever
al months has been lifted. The embargo
with its requirement that permits be
applied for and granted before carload
freight could move into this territory,
had proved troublesome to local indus
tries and merchants, particularly since
the sign ng Of the armistlce. The CHAM
be- Of Commerce traffic committee, sew
eral weeks ago, took this matter up
with Regional Director OF Railroad,
Markham. and recently were assured
by the regional director that the en-
bago in all probability would be lifted
March 1. The traffic comm Etee In its
reply urgently recommended that the
be lifted soonerNand the pres
ent announcement is very gratifying in
deed.
The carload embargo has been Iifteh
from all commodities with the excep.

dent Of the union, says the trouble
sta ted February 8, when the shop com

called together and presented with a
new wage rate, to take effect February

The old rate was % cents for glazing

olared, after comforting with heads Of

They give as their explanation that
there has been such a shortage Of
skins as TO necessltate the closing Of

One of the officials declared that even
with the lower wages, the men would
make $40 a week and the women $50.
Members Of the union disagreed with
this statepent and said that It was
because the new wage rate would not
permit them to meet their living ex-
