out the regions mentioned neither corn
nor potatoes should be planted on such
land, because these crops will almost
surely be severely injured II this be
done. Ground that was In pure clover
or even in corn last year is likely to
be quite safe for planting to corn this
year, because the beetles which are
the parents Of the white grubs do not
usually lay their eggs in such crops.
A good rotation Of crops to escape
white grub injury is as follows: First
year, oats or barley; second year,
clover; third year. corn. Timothy or
other grasses harbor white grubs from
year to year, and therefore, In case
they are grown, the land producing
them should not be planted to corn,
at least the first year after it is
broken from the sod.
Farmers Bulletin $40 contains full
information on white grubs, and may
be obtained free on application to the
United States Department Of Agricul
ture.

VIII also keep the little chicks con-
fined early In the morning, when the
grass Is wet. Put hook or clasp on
the door to hold It firmly in place.
The mother hen should be confined
to the brood coop until the chicks are
weaned. This gives the little chicks
better start In life and prevents loss
from storms and hawks.
Clean Brood Coop Weekly.
Clean the brood coop at least once
week, and keep 1t free from mites.
II mites are found In the coop, II
should be thoroughly cleaned and
sprayed with kerosene oil or crude
petroleum. Spread from one to two
inches Of sand or dry dirt or a thin
layer Of straw or flne hay on the floor
OF the coop for a covering and move
brood coOps weekly to fresh ground,
preferably where there Is new grass.
Shade Is very essential In rearing
chickens, especially during warm
weather; therefore; place the coops in
the shade whenever possible. A CORN
field makes fine range for young chick
ems. as they catch many bugs and
worms, and have fresh ground to run
on most Of the time because Of the
cultivation Of the ground, and have
abundant shade at the same time.

ENRICH soIL BY TRENcHING


The home gardeners OF England take
great pains in preparing their soil,
even going to the extent Of throwing
the surface soil to one side and then
spading manure into the subsoil to a
depth Of IA to 16 inches. After the sub
soil is SO treated the surface soil is re
placed and great quaStities Of rotted
manure mixed with 1t. This process
Is known as 1trenching." 1t results in
heavy yields of vegetables and enables
the crops to Withstand a drought pc
riod much better than where the soil
Is not broken so deeply. Details Of the
preparation Of garden soils are dis
cussed in bulletins Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.

PRODUCTIVE FARM LAND

In a general sense, productive
farm land is land that is used
20 produce crops, to pasture
animals, or to furnish a supply
Of fuel, timber, maple sugar, or
other profitable forest products.
Nonproductive land is that por-
ton of a farm which is taken
up by the farm buildings, by
lanes and roads that are unnec-
essary, fence rows that are too
wide, open bitches, headlands,
swamps, rocks, ravines, sloughs,
and streams, or pasture land
that does not economically sup
port live stock. Farmers Bull
letin 745, issued by the United
