0PP0RTUNE TIME TO
DESTROY COCKLEBUR
Weeds Occasionally Kill Swine
and Young Cattle.
Noxious Plants Do Not Grow Very
Luxuriantly in Grain Fields Until
After Removal of Crop-Clover
Is Useful

Aside from its general unSightliness
on the farm and the severe damage
done to crops, such as corn, cookie
burs also occasionally kill swine and
young cattle According to Depart
ment Circular 100 issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
cOckleburS do not grow very luXuriant-
ly in grain fields until after the re-
mOval of the crop; the cockleburs
should then be plOWed under before
they mature seeds, In the North early
fall blowing before the seed ripenS is
/ always good practice for controlling
this weed.
The weed may he destroyed by the
use of any good shading crop, such as
buckWheat, soy beans or cOwpeas.
Glover is particularly useful in sub
DUNG cOcklebur Close grazing with
sheep, especially in grain stubble, is
very useful practice. In heavily in
tested areas moving and burning have

HlON IHS belOIe OURS are lOfineu, or,
better still, by hand removal following
rain, when the ground is soft. The
spud, mattock and hoe are all useful
Instruments in Graduating cocklebur.
The removal of cockleburs from waste
areas is of special Importance, because
the burs from a single plant may
spread to all parts of the farm, since
they adhere readily to the clothing of
pasSers-by or to the coats of animals.
If the farm is equipped with spray
ing machinery it is practicable to de-
stroy cockleburs entirely by spraying
early in the spring with a solution of
iron sulphate used at the rate of two
pounds of the chemical to a gallon of
water.

FIND ROUTE PRODUCE TAKES
Shippers of Fruits and Vegetables Are
Advised to Learn Market Likes
and Dislikes.

Any intelligent attempt to better
marketing conditions must he based
on a good working knowledge Of pres
ent agencies and their functions. The
nearer that both producer and cOnsum-
err can come to an understanding and
appreciation of the work devolving
upon the distributor, the nearer will
Americans approach solution of
many of the problems incident to the
movement of fruits and vegetables.
The shipper who has definite knowl-
edge of the course his goods will take
when they reach a big market has a
great advantage over the man who has
70 idea of methods of distribution.
He can safeguard his interests by re-
tanning a measure of control over his
product after it reaches destination.
Shippers or prospective shippers Of
fruits and vegetables are advised to
get in touch with their principal mar
ket. learn its likes. dislikes, and pecul-
iarities, study the means whereby
their goods are distributed to consum-
ers. and secure a working knowledge
of the chief problems incident to the
handling of their commodities.

Allow Free Ranue,

Allow Free Range.
Most guinea raisers, however, allow
their breeding stock free range of the
entire farm at all times. This helps
to keep the birds strong and vigorous.
During the winter the breeders should
be fed a grain mixture of corn, wheat,
and oats twice a day. Where no green
feed is available on the range at this
time of the year, vegetables, such as
potatoes, turnips, beets and cabbage
should be substituted, poultry special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture suggest.
Animal Feed Essential.
Animal feed Is essential to best re-
suits and can be supplied by feeding
meat scrap or skim milk. Given free
range, where the supply Of natural
feed during the winter and early
spring is ample, as it usually is in the
southern portion of the United States,
the guineas may be left to pick up a
considerable part of their feed. Free
access to grit, charcoal and oyster
shell is necessary throughout tie
breeding and laying season. Avoid
having the breeders too fat but keep
them in good, firm flesh.

This he showed to Henry r. James,
the tenant on the ranch, but refused
to state where he found it except that
he found it along the creek. Inger-
sol proposed that James go into part
nership with him and supply the
means to purchase the ranch and
open the mine.
James refused unless given a sixty
per cent interest for his financial
backing. Ingersol insisted on the
partnership being on a ffty-ffty basis
and they failed to agree. A heated
argument arose and Ingersol was
ordered off the land. He left to fol-
low the harvest north through the
Dakotas and Canada. In some way
he has been able to obtain financial
backing and deeds to over a mile of
the creek bed have gone on record.
The quarter section where the bluff
is located is owned by a resident of
Wymore, Nebr., requested that it re-
main in the family. Constantly in
creasing offers have been made only
to be refused with the statement
that the land is not for sale at any
price. Whether Ingersol will follow
the steps of Doom and permit the
secret to die with him in case the
owner remains odurate or will sell, it
is question for the future.
In the meantime James is using
all his spare time in prospecting and
has purchased the land just back of
the bluff in the hopes that the vein
runs past the boundary line.-Topeka

KANSAS STATE FARM BUREAU

Manhattan, Kans., June 16.-The
drive to obtain $4,000 extra men TO
harvest the Kansas wheat crop, has
begun. Three organizations, the
Kansas State Farm Bureau, the Ex-
tension Division of Kansas State
Agricultural College, and the Kansas
Labor Department will cooperate to
aid the federal labor bureau in put
ting over the big drive.
These three organizations will fur
nish six men to aid the federal labor
bureau in Kansas City. The Kansas
State Farm Bureau will send man
to st. Louis, and another to Denver
to help in rounding up the men. An
effort will be made to recruit 10000
men through the Kansas City Office,
and $500 each through the st. Louis
and Denver offices. The others are
expected to flow into Kansas from the
Oklahoma harvest fields, the Colorado
beet fields, and the smaller towns of
Missouri.
An effort will be made to send the
men from Kansas City, ST. Louis and
Denver by special train to central dis
tribution points. The points selected
are Wichita, Hutchinson, Salina,
Dodge City, Liberal and Goodland.
From these points they will be ap-
portioned to the different counties
according to demand and distributed
through the county farm bureaus.
Men will be appointed to help with
distribution in unorganized counties.
Wichita will be the central head
quarters, and all calls for extra help
will be sent to the labor office there.
The wool producers of Kansas are
Standing pat" They have organ
lied, and are determined that COM
bination Of the wool commission
firms in this section of the country
shall not keep them from getting the
highest possible price for the 1920
clip.
In 1919 a number of counties
pooled their wool and sold to the
highest bidder. They got $4,000
more for their product than could
have been obtained had they sold in
dividually. This year pools were
made in nearly all the wool producing
counties. When bids were called for,
no commission houses sent buyers.
This, they asserted, was because the
bottom had dropped out of the wool
market, but it is hard to convince
some of the farmers that they had
not fromed a pool themselves to
break up the farmers organizations
The wool growers turned this
years clip over to the Kansas State
Farm Bureau which sent C. G. Filing
of the Extension Department of Kan
sas State Agricultural College, to
Chicago, to market the product
through a cooperative commission
house there.
