PREVENT HAY FROM HEATING
Department of Agriculture Experts
Recommend Use Of Ventilators
of Latticework.

Hay, especially alfalfa or clover, is
likely TO suffer damage through heat
ing in the barn. This can be prevented
by ventilation To ventilate a hay barn
the United States Department of Agri-
culture experts recommend the use of
lattice ventilators II 10 10 inches
square and as long as convenient.
These ventiIators, which look some
what like elongated crates, are made
with corners consisting of 2 by
scantlings Slated together with mar
row boards u 70 10 inches long. They
should be braced TO prevent crushing.
The ventilators are laid in the hay
10 or - feet apart horizontally and
far enough apart vertically so that the
distance will not be more than S or 10
feet after the hay has settled. The
ends should come out TO the edge of
the hay so as 10 permit free passage
of air. This will permit the carrying
of of steam caused by evaporation and
will preserve the hay and prevent over
heating. The ventilators can be made
Of various sizes Of material, and, il
strongly constructed, will last many
years.

PEPPER PLANTS NEED
EXTRA CARE TO GROW
Few Plants Required by the Az
erage Family.
Prepare Seed Bed by Forkino or
Spadino to Depth Of or Inches,
Working in Well-Rctted Ma
nure and Fertilizer.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculturel
Sweet peppers, sometimes called
Chinese peppers and Mammoth pep
pers. are becoming more and more pop
ular as a crop for planting in the home
garden. Only a few plants are neces-
sary TO supply the family OF average
size with all the peppers they will
want, but IL takes good land and extra
care TO produce peppers of high quail
ity, say garden specialists Of the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture.
Pepper plants are easily injured by
cold and the plants should be started
in the house, in a hotbed. or in a
greenhouse. Perhaps the best way is
TO purchase a dozen or so good plants
from some scotsman or plant grower.
In preparing the soil for peppers,
first spade or fork the land over 10
depth of eight or nine inches. AT the
same time work in some well-rotted ma.
nure and a large handful of CONNER
cial fertilizer 70 each square yard OF
space. This should be done at least a
week before the pepper plants are set
out. Then loosen the surface thor
oughly at the time the plants are set.
Frequent cultivation is necessary, and
an occasional application Of weak Ii
quid manure 10 the soil around the
plants will keep them growing vigor-
Ously. Large, tender peppers can only
be produced on thrifty plants, and in
order to keep the plants producing all
the peppers should be kept picked off
and none allowed to ripen.
Ruby King, Chinese Giant, and
Large Bell or Bull Nose are among the
leading varieties of the large sweet
peppers. Pimento peppers are mild in
flavor and are largely grown in the
Southern states for making the pimen-
TO picked peppers. The pimento pep
pers can be used in the same way as
the regular sweet peppers, or they may
be left on the plants until red ripe;
then used for canning.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT

BY F. A. WALKER

three parts OF the body which longest
resist the disintegration which follows
death are the teeth. the finger nails
and the hair, and Of these the last
two are very nearly of the same char
acter.
Which is getting some little way
distant from the contention that
blonde women are not fit for jury duty
because they are tickle.
Dido. queen of Carthage, Of whom
Virgil writes In the Aeneid, was not
tickle, although she was blonde. She
stuck 10 her hero through thick and
thin and killed herself with a sword
that he furnished.
Cleopatra, who had red hair,
shade darker than the real blonde,
was not what one might call absolute
ly constant in her devotions, but in
modern society she might not be listed
as extremely tickle.
But the analyzing of society, ancient
or modern, according 10 the color of
the hair. would not furnish very sub
stantial basis for judging either wom-
en- or men, blondes or brunettes.
II is what is just under their hair
that establishes the real qualifications
for any sort of duty.
Brains are all one color.
If the color OF hair determined
ability what would become Of the I'M
fortunates who haven't any hair at
all?
Never mind about your hair, young
lady readers. Don't bother about its
color, and don't spend too much time
fixing" ii.
If you are TO be anxious about any
thing. be anxious about the inside of
your head instead Of the outside.
That's the side that counts.

But the salaries are small. very

Sometimes she begins her work with

This is wrong.

BLONDES AND BRAINS

A LEARNED judge was recently
"A quoted as announcing from his
bench that he would not approve Of
blonde ladies as members of jury
which was about 10 hear case under
his Jurisdiction.
BLONDES are tickle" were the words
attributed TO the justice, intimating
that fckleness is bar TO what the
law is supposed 10 assure the person
on trial.
A year or so ago q big Western en-
pIoyer in advertising for Office help
announced that he Nwould not receive
the applications of blondes, giving as
a reason that he had found them in
attentive 10 work and temperamental
in disposition.
There has always been a good deal
Of discussion regarding the relative
attractiveness of blondes and bru-
nettes despite the fact that in the
long ago when the caveman was the
highest type of civilization. we were
all blonde, or at least red hair was
the darkest tint.
The reason why nature covered
primeval men and women with blonde
or red hair was twofold; that it
served the same purposes of low Wis
ibLity which is gained by the animals
whose fur coats blend with the sur
roundings In which they live and the
fact that those colors better protected
the skin from the effects of direct sun
light.
We know that these cOlors Of hair
prevailed because in the discovery of
almost every burial place of people of
that time light or reddishly tinSed
hair has been found.

this theory is correct the weed-control
problem overShadows all others with
which the farmer is confronted. Mod
ern agricultural science has discovered
much concerning the control and Grad
ication of these insidious land thieves.
The wild onion, for example, was con-
sidered hopeless problem from Mas
sachusetts 10 Georgia, and as far west
as Missouri and Arkansas until weed
specialist in the Department of Agri-
culture discovered that the plant pro-
duced two kinds of bulbs. One type
was soft-coated, and formed the new
plants during late summer and fall /;
the other was hard so that il was I'M
harmed by winter, and ready TO form
the new plants in the spring. With
this 10 guide them the specialists
proved that the wild onion can be con-
trolled by blowing deeply in the late
fall TO destroy the plants originating
from the soft-coated bulbs. and by
planting an intertilled crop. such as
corn, the following spring TO kill the
plants that come up from the hard
coated bulbs.
Weedy rOadsides are constant
sources of trouble for the adjoining
farm lands. The seeds are carried
miles by automobiles, horses, and pass
ing wagons, so that they become a
menace to the whole community. If
nothing better can be done with the
roadside weeds they can be moved
twice a year. This treatment, if well
kept up, will effectively check the trou-
BILE. Sometimes roadside can be con-
verted into lawn, or IT can be used
for crops. to the pride and profit of
the farmers whose land il borders.
Control Measures.
The underlying principles Of weed
control are shown in these rules by
the specialists of the United States
Department Of Agriculture
Use pure seed.
Rotate the farm crops.
Utilize pasturing animals, particu-
larry sheep and goats, in keeping
weeds down.
Never allow weeds to mature. Now
before the seeds have ripened.
Use intertilled crops, and cultivate
often.
Kill weeds while they are young by
means of q harrow or q weeder.
Compost manure for two months be-
fore using If it contains weed seeds.
Practice surface cultivation after
the crops have been removed in the
fall
Use smother crops; buckwheat, soy
beans, cowpeas. velvet beans. clover,
etc.
Chemical poisons often are helpful.
Prepare the seed beds thoroughly TO
give the crop start over the weeds
Use winter cover crops.
Hunt out the scattered weeds, and
kill them.
Nov dangerous grasses and burn
the dry cuttings.
Small patches of perennial weeds
can be killed by covering for the en-
tire season with building paper. boards.
or other materials TO exclude the light.
Kill the roots of perennial weeds by
keeping the tops cut down.
Grow alfalfa. when practicable, on
weed-infested land.
Soil improvement by the use OF lime
or green manure will help 10 control
the weeds.
Soiling crops prevent the weeds from
reaching maturity.
