may be rotated, and planted to quick
growing crops, such as oats, wheat,
and rye, are good for intensive duck
farms
1t is advisable to have a pond or
stream for the breeding ducks, say
poultry specialists of the United
States department of agriculture, as
they usually give better fertility I'M
der these conditions, although on
some successful duck farms the
ducks are always kept on dry land.
The young, green ducks on some
farms which have a pond are not
allowed to go into the water except
to battle and clean their feathers be-
fore marketing. Other growers, how.
ever, allow the green ducks free ac-
cess to ponds or streams until they
are marketed.
The hens greatest reproducing
periods are the first, second, and
third years, depending upon the
kind of breed. The heavier kind of
breeds, such as Plymouth Rocks, may
be profitably kept for two years, the
lighter breeds, such as Leghorns,
three years.

The proof of parcel-post marketing
is in the eating.
Many thousands of consumers have
tried out this method of purchasing
farm products for the table and are
eating their food with a relish born
of good food, favored with the sauce
of economy and service. After all,
the final test of this method of d1-
rect marketing is the measure of sat
isfaction secured by buyer and sell
er. Instances of successful parcel
post sellers, north, south. east and
west, which have come to the atten-
ton of the bureau of markets, Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
prove quite as much as pages of the
Dry and discussion the immense prac-
teal value of this method of buying
and selling. While the extent to
which the people of this country are

eel post is not definitely known. there
is every Indication that the volume
of business is increasing steadily.

OF course, the producer can not sue
coed without an accessible market;
he must be sure that he has the kind
and quality of produce that is want

conducting his business, writing his

give satisfaction. That is what a

no questions are asked. His business
has grown so that recently he has

has always taken particular care to

tory east of the Mississippi it is in
ferior to the strains of common va
rieties such as are grown in Kan
sas and adjoining states, and is in
ferior to the Peruvian variety in the
extreme south.
In the intermountain and irrigated
sections of the west, local strains of
common alfalfa are superior to COM
mercial Turkestan, and in the ex-
treme southwest, in the Central VAL
ley of California and on the Pacific
coast, the Peruvian variety gives far
larger yields of hay.
Commercial Turkestan alfalfa can
be most easily recognized by the
presence of Russian Knapweed seeds
which are slightly larger than our
alfalfa, chalky white in color, and
slightly wedgeshaped, which distin-
guishes them from the notched seed
of other species of knapweed. Every
alfalfa purchaser is urged to supply
himself with the departments bull

oratories will be glad to inspect any
samples which interested persons

Larger Acreage Of Flax This
Year Is Desirable, Farmers Urged

STA, India, United States, and Can
ada, of which countries all but the
United States produce an exportable
surplus. The surplus is consumed
Europe, and the United States. In
the United States more than 95 per
cent of the crop is produced in four
states-North Dakota, South Dakota,
Minnesota and Montana. Since 1909
the United States has depended on
foreign countries. chiefly Canada and
Argentina. for part of her flaxseed
supply. This dependence on other
countries has increased, as a result
of the poor crops of the last few
years, until now over two-thirds of
our normal requirement must be sup
piled from abroad.

According to extensive tests made
by the federal department of agricul-
ture commercial Turkestan alfalfa is
less hardy in northern regions than
varieties commonly grown there, ana
in the southern regions its yield is
less than the varieties now common
ly grown. For example, in the Great
Plains region, south of southern Ne
braska, local strains of common al
falfa produce larger hay yields than
the commercial Turkestan, and in
the extreme southern part of this re-
gion the Peruvian variety is far SUI
perior to it in point of yield. In the
northern part of the Great Plains re-
gion, Grimm alfalfa is decidedly su-
perior to the common Turkestan in
hardness, and both the Grimm and
the northern-grown strains of the
common variety exceed it in yields
of hay.
Generally speaking. in the North
ern states east of the Mississippi
river the commercial Turkestan al
falfa is decidedly inferior to the
Grimm. while in the central and
south central portions of the terri

When to Cut Wheat

Wheat may be cut with safety
when the straw has lost nearly all it's
green color and the grains are not
entirely hardened. If cut sooner
than this, shriveled kernels will re-
suit. If left standing until fully
ripe, a bleached appearance, due to
the action Of the elements, often re-
suits, and loss from shattering may
result. Wheat that is fully ripe is
also more difficult to handle. Where
the area of wheat is large, cutting
should begin as early as it can be
done safely.-Farmers' Bulletin 1856,

A Pleasant Event

The Junior class of Peoples Academy
scored decided success at the Christmas
social held Friday evening at the Academy
Hall. The hall had been decorated for
the occasion with a color scheme of red and
green. A large Christmas tree held the
central position; the whole aspect beftted
the Holiday season.
The first number on the program was
selection by the P. A. orchestra, which
was followed by one act play entitled A
Christmas Chime" The parts were taken
by Faith Edmunds, Hermon Huntley,
Wallace Peck and Christabel Wallace.
They did credit not only to themselves,
but to Mrs. Jackson who had it in charge.
This was followed by an order Of marches
and dances, interspersed by a rlusical
number entitled "Drowsy Baby" sung by
Misses Bates, Bickford and Sulham, under
the direction of Miss Merrill. They re-
sponded to an encore which was appropri.
ate to the occasion.
This called forth Santa Claus, who was
there in the person of Walter Whittemore
of Class l. He distributed presents, which
were in the nature of jokes, to the repre-
sentatives of the various classes, the bas-
ket ball team, and the members of the
faculty.
Refreshments Of ice cream and cake
were served during the evening, While
there we're many gratifying features about
it, to those in charge, the most gratifying
was the presence CT 50 many interested
townspeople. The Juniors take this op
portunity to thank them for their interest
