PREPARE FOR NEW BUILDINGS
Best Time to Make Preparations for
Contemplated Structures Is In
Late Winter.

Late winter is the best time to
make plans and preparations for any
building which is contemplated. This
will assure the presence of the mate
rial when needed, and will permit
the making of favorable contracts
which would be difficult to consum-
mate when the rush OF spring
work begins. AS the coming season
promises to be busy one In the
building line, every farmer who wishes
TO build is urged by the federal de-
partment to shake a leg" and get his
plans under way.
Now is the time to prepare hog
houses for the spring crop of pigs. Re
pair where necessary, so as to mini
mize pig mortality due to inadequate
shelter. Thousands Of newborn pigs
are lost each season due to I'M
satisfactory housing. Weather-proof
houses will save money!
The late winter also is propitious
time for the building of new and re-
pairing old fences. WORKOUT posts
and wire should be replaced where
necessary to make the fields stock

A very practical way of meeting the
present hay shortage is through the
use of beet-top silage. 80 pounds Of
which per day per steer will reduce the
animals hay requirements by one-half.
That three pounds of beet-top sIlage
per day per head of sheep will reduce
the hay requirements fully one-half
is the experience Of many feeders who
have tried out the newer way Of utillz-
ing sugar beet by-products.
On many fields as much as FIVE tons
per acre of silage can be had. when
the tops are promptly gathered and
put into piles, Immediately after the
beets are topped. This prevents scat
tering andswaste. The farmer, after
gathering the tops. should pile them In
a pit sllo. packing them down firmly,
and sealing them over with fresh beet
pulp or earth. A satisfactory silo
may be made by scooping out hole
of suitable size and lining the sides
and bottom with straw before filling.
After 80 days, on opening the pit
fine quality of warm. succulent feed
will. be available. The silage has a
value equal.to about one-half the value
of hay. The feed should be collected
handyto the feeding yards. The silage
comes out of the pit, in warm, appetiz-
ing condition all through the winter
feeding period. In fact, some growers
hold a part of the silage for summer
feeding to supplement the short-grass
season when pastures are suffering for
lack of moisture. t
The silage is good for beef or dairy
cattle and also for sheep. When fed
In regulated amounts, excellent re-
suits are had. Much larger values
are had from beet tops when sliced
and fed as blended ration than when
grazed off the field in the usual way.
Saving one-half Of the hay crop Is
big item this season where hay
shortage exists.

lings for home garden planting, now
made more emphatic because Of the
great expansion Of tomato and other
club work, has prompted the bureau
OF plant industry to obtain more ac-
curate data on the effectiveness Of hot
water as a means of Kidding soil Of the
root-knot nematode, and certain para
site fungi usually associated with root
troubles By means Of large number
of tests II was found that an applIca-
ton of boiling water at the rate of
seven gallons per cubic foot of soil in
shallow benches practically elm
mated the parasites. Applying this
method to the needs Of boys and girls
garden club work, where the size Of
the seedbox or fiat commonly used Is

boiling water would be necessary to
disinfect the soil in such fat.
In all cases a marked Increase in
the percentage Of termination and in
the size and vigor of plants grown In
the treated soil was observed. Sub
stantially the same method of killing
plant parasites in the soil has been
used with some success in certain
vegetable greenhouses; but the de-
partment's experiments serve to deter
mine accurately the temperatures re-
qulred and also the necessary guam
titles of hot water. The root-knot ne
matode can be eliminated from the

degrees Fahrenheit. In eight-inch
pots the organisms are killed by an
application of boiling water at the
rate Of about three quarts to a pot.

unfavorable seasons, however, early
varieties, such as Kherson and Sixty
day. frequently outyield the midseason
varieties. In the corn belt early va
