GOOD TOP DRESS FOR WHEAT
Application of as Little as Two Tons
of Manure Per Acre May Increase
Yield Ten Bushels.

1t pays big profit to top dress the
wheat with manure. An application
of as little as two tons per acre may
increase the yield ten bushels; at least
1t has done this much one year with
another in Indiana tests. Four tons
make only about two bushels more.
The manure benefits the wheat d.
rectly through the plantfood which 1t
contains, and indirectly through the
winter protection, which often is of
greater value. Where manure is used
as q top dressing the stand Of clover
is generally better. There is an or
ganic benefit from the manure which is
considerable and is not so easily ex-
planned. Where as much or more plant
food is applied in the form of com
mercial fertilizers the resulting yield
has not been as large.

PAINT AIDS POULTRY HOUSE
Adds Greatly to Appearance and Serv-
Ice of BuiIdings-Whitewash
...... Is Cheapest.

prepared by the United States Depart
e. nent of Agriculture.)
Painting adds greatly to the ap-
pearance and service of all buildings
and appliances. One may buy ready
d mixed paints or may purchase paste
pigments and oil and mix them. All
surfaces should be clean and dry be-
fore they are painted. Use a printing
coat made of equal parts of paint and
Hnseed oil and cover with one or
more coats Of paint, which should be
thoroughly brushed into the surface.
Whitewash is the cheapest of all
paints, and may be used either for ex-
terror or interior surfaces. 1t can be
made by shaking about ten pounds of
quicklime in a pail with two gallons
of water, covering the pail with cloth
or burlap and allowing it to Stake for
one hour. Water is then added to
bring the whitewash to consistency
which may be applied readily. A
weatherproof whitewash for exterior
surfaces may be made as follows :
1) Stake l bushel Of quicklime in u
gallons of hot water; (2) dissolve 2
pounds Of common salt and l pound Of
sulphate Of zinc in gallons of boil
ing water; pour (2) into O, then add
2 gallons of skim milk and mix thor
oughly. Whitewash is spread lightly
over the surface with broad brush.

PLAN TO GET FEDERAL HELP
Positive Obligation Should Be Placed
Upon States to Give Aid to
County Units.

That federal aid funds should here
after be expended only upon roads
which are included in an intercounty
system of main highways, Is becoming
a fixed policy in many states, despite
the fact that the present road act does
not require such use of the money.
Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Wyoming and Washing
ton recently have practically decided
to contine the federal money to roads
that count in well-defned state sys-
tens.
IF the national government is to
continue the policy of aQpropriating
federal funds to the AZ states for high
way Improvement, positive obligation
should be placed upon the states to
give aid to their county units" asserts
President David Jameson of the Amer
lean Automobile association, which or
ganizatiOn devoted it's countrywide
energies to the passage of the federal
aid road act and urged such legislation
at a time when it was far from pOpu-
lar.
IF it is the correct thing-and we
believe that it iS-fOr the Weather
and more settled states to give as
Sistance through the federal treasury
to the less populated and undevelOped
parts of the country, this national CO.
operation carries with it an obligation
to the state to function as a common
wealth in the form of intercounty
roads built and maintained entirely at
state expense.
"While it has been found necessary
in some, states to employ automobile
registration money in floating state
bond issues this should not be done
except as last resort, simply because
there is need of yearly maintenance
funds and these are best supplied by
The registration and other taxes col
lected from mOtOrCar owners. The
total Of this money for the whole coun-
try now exceeds $50,OOO,OO0."

out field in middle Tennessee which,
20 years previously, had been planted
with One-year-Old locust seedlings,
yielded fence posts worth $1SS an acre
on the stump, or $3.50 at the railroad
about two miles distant. This was q
gross return of $9.40 an acre yearly on

fore the trees were set out had started

acre annually have frequently been
realized on poor, thin hill land. Good
soils underlad with limestone and
planted to black locust in the Appala-
chan and Piedmont regions, from
Pennsylvania to Kentucky and Tennes-
see, can be counted on to yield an av-
erage of $40 an acre yearly at the end
Of from Is to 20 years.
The manufacture of insulator pins
requires large amounts of black locust,
for which purpose it is the most salts
factory wood.
Starting Black Locust.
In starting black locust, small
sprouts with portion of the root may
be dug up and used or, better, the
seed may be sown in the spring in
drills in good soil, like onion seed. At
the end of the season the seedlings
will be from two to four feet in height
and satisfactory in size for setting out
This may be done in the late fall, but
the spring season, about the time
growth starts, is preferable. In some
regions the locust wood borer is al.
most certain to cause extensive dam
age to young plantations unless special
precautions are taken to keep the
trees in a healthy growing condition
and the bark shaded by foliage, either
from nearby trees, shrubs, or weeds
Information on this insect and methods
Of it's control will be found in United
States Department of Agriculture Bull
letin 7S7, "Protection From the Locust
Borer."
Strange as 1t may appear, black
locust although one of the most dur
able woods when set in the ground
natures early and deteriorates in the
tree rapidly if not cut when ripe. Com
mercially the tree is usually mature in
Is to Is years.

FEEDING HAY AND ROUGHAGE

In the marketing of hay and rough
age there is large bulk to handle and
haul to the point of delivery. The
United States department Of agricul-

extra labor for the men and teams on

tility is taken off which might be re-
turned to the fields If the products
