non disulphid is a liquid that c,,n p

Therefore in fumigating seeds, to kill

Of the COntainer. A tight tin pail
box, or barrel makes an excellent
,ontainer for fumigating seeds. For
a tight barrel full of seeds one-half
cupful of carbon disulphid is suffi-
cient. For smaller containers, use in
proportion.
Seeds to be fumigated must be dry.
and if they are in paper bags, the
bags should be opened. The gas
penetrates cloth bags easily. The
liquid may be placed in any shallow
lish, such as a saucer or plate. or
merely poured on the seeds. The
liquid will not injure the seeds if
poured directly upon them. Imme-
diately after starting the fumigation,
the container should be covered with
several thicknesses of heavy papr, or
other tight cover, and allowed to re-
main covered from one to two days
A longer fumigation in tin pals is
apt TO injure the terminating power
of the seeds.

Pads Reduce Cruising.

In barreling apples for market
practically all growers use corrugat-
ed pads to reduce the amount of
bruising caused by pressing the head
of the barrel into place. If two pads
are used, one is placed under the face
and the other over the bottom of the
barrel; if only one is used, it may be
placed on either end, altho it has been
shown that the single pad will best
serve if placed on the bottom, espec-
tally when the apples are jumbled and
exposed to the rough and frequently
uneven pieces of the head which cut
and bruised the fruit when the pres
sure is applied. Excelsior cushions are
seldom used. because they are moro
expensive and have no particular adj
vantage over the corrugated pads in
ordinary packing operations. II.

other materials. Both often contain
foreign particles which should be
strained before the spraying is begun.
It has been found that one spray

to make a second application in a
month. and in some cases third

GREAT WORK OF U. S.
REMOUNT STATION
Accomplishing Much TO Build
UneXcelled Line of Cavalry
Horses Invaluable TO
Army.

The World War was the great cal
dron in which birth was given L
many organizations looking 10 IN,
leadership OF America in every path
OF economic activity; and no such &C
/ tivity bearing On the future of one OF
, our most vital essentials compares
| with that Of the American Remount
/ Association, an organization composed
| OF some of the coun,ry's leading men,
/ 1t came into being as roGul, OF the
! dire necessity Of more and better
blooded horses for the United States
Army. Thus, with kindred organiza-
tions, 1t is promoting one of the most
important undertakings looking To-
ward our future security.
The object Of the Remount Asocia-
tion is the improvement of general
purpose horse conditions in every
State in the Union; and because OF
the Importance of the work entailed,
Col. F. S. Armstrong, OF the United
States Army. has been placed in
charge, with headquarters in Washing
ton, ID. c., where his department Is in
close touch with every other govern
mental agency. The Remount AssOcia-
tiOn, with the cooperation OF others
Similarly engaged, has, during the
eighteen months Of its existence,
succeeded in getting one hundred and
sixty-four stallions-eighty-fiv OF
which were donated by patriotic or
CARNATIONS and individuals-for dis
tribution throughout the country, TO
be utilized by farmers DESTROYS Of
raising the standard of their horses.
In laying out the work, IL was de-
cided to profit by the experience of for
eign governments and locate thorough
bred sires in every grazing community
OF the country. The whole was div
tded into zones, and a plan OF breed
Ing, TO the interest of the farmers of
America, inaugurated. Recent reports
from the Associations headquarters
in Washington show that there has
been an average of fifty-fve mares for
each stallion, although the breeding
season is not yet concluded. Also, at
meeting Of the Association, II was
shown that there was a demand for
some seven hundred horses last
Spring, and that, for the coming
Spring, this demand will be doubled
or even trebled.
Both the race courses and the thor
oughbred nurseries constantly are
being drawn upon for horses Of proven
courage in the acid test Of racing.
1t remains for them to produce the
only type that measures up to the
standard destined to supply the United
State cavalry remounts worthy Of the
men in the service. .
1t may be added that, owing to the
broad plan OF fostering the industry
of horse breeding as practiced for
generations by the British, French and
Italian Governments, these countries
were in the enviable position of ability
to supply their armies with good
mounts, whereas, America, which had
never introduced such a system was
obliged to draw upon the resources
of the allied nations to horse her men.

SunfIOwers For Silage Recommended
In Oregon.

In States where certain districts
are high in elevation, so that corn
can not be grown in sufficient guam
titles to make it a feasible silage crop
the United States Department of Agri-
culture and the State Experiment
Stations recommend sunflOwers for ST.
Iage. Up to short time ago there
were no sunflowers, nor in fact any
silos, in eastern Oregon counties, but
through the activities of the county
agents of the department, cooperating
with the State agricultural college,
the use of sunflowers has become
quite widespread. Demonstrations
are being carried on in Lake Morrow,
and Mmatilla Counties.
Dairy farmers in Wallowa Coun-
ty who fed sunflower silage last year
found they could reduce their cost of
production very materially. There
are 20 silos in Wallowa county this
year. Four years ago there were
but three. A thousand acres of sun
flowers have been planted this year
In the county, in spite of unfavorable
season in 1920, when much of the
crop was not harvested at all, or har-
vested too late to make good ensilage.
Extension workers feel that this is a
favorable indication of the apprecia-
tion OF the crop on the part of Wal
iowa County stockmen. Five or six
hundred acres are being grown in
Dechutes County, where orders for
seed we're pooled.

FARM DEPARTMENT.

vations of the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture, make twofor
more pickings during the season, es-
pecially when the fruit is not uni
formly Of good color, but is otherwise
of high quality. The advisability of
making more than one picking de-
ponds upon the extent 20 which the
size and color of the fruit are Affect
ed by the quantity borne by each tree.
The apples on the outside of the
tree. especially the larger and better
colored ones, are removed at the first
picking to permit the limbs to lift and
expose the uncolored fruit to the sun.
This thinning also tends to bring
about an increase in size of the fruit
remaining on the trees. In the
course OF week or 10 days the sec
ond picking is made, when the re-
mainder of the crop usually is remov-
ed In a few instances more than
two pickings are made, especially
with early apples.
Two pickings are more expensive
than one because of the additional
time required. tho the increase in the
market value of the crop often justi-
fies this practice. If the crop is of
low quality the value of the returns
are not sufficient to warrant
the extra cost of more than one pick
ing

One of the easiest and most palata'
bic ways of disposing of a small
amount of leftover cooked rice is &c
use it for hot mullins or waffles in
combination with corn meal or wheat
flour. The following recipe for its
use is suggested by the United States
Department of Agriculture.
/ cup cooked rice.
l cup wheat flour.
/ teaspoon salt.
IL teaspoons baking powder.
q cup sweet milk.
:. 3 eggs,
l teaspoon butter, or other fat.
Press the rice thru coarse sieve.
Sift the flour, the salt, and the bak-
ing powder together, then add the
milk, the yolks of eggs, the rice, and
the melted fat, and finally fold in
the beaten whites of eggs. Have the
waffle iron hot and well creased. This
recipe may also be used for rice fritz
tiers by adding l tablespoon of sugar
and frying in deep fat. If preferred,
the grains of rice may be left whole.

Hard Work To Kill Mites; Best Ma
terials To Use.

|
terials To Use.
1t takes several months to starve
the mites in an invested chicken
house after the poultry has been re-
moved. In tests made by the United
States Department of Agriculture
some mites were still alive after 11S
days in an abandoned hen house. The
nests indicated, too, that the mites
live longer in damp localities than in
very dry conditions, which accounts,
in part at least, for the idea that
mites are worse in damp badly VEN
tilated houses.
The only way TO get rid of these
pests is to break up their hiding
places. Dust baths will not control
them. Roosts should be taken down,
and all unnecessary boards removed.
In badly infested houses the mites are
to be found everywhere, including the
roof. For small coops a hand ato-
mizer will do for applying insecti-
cides such as sprays, but for larger
houses a bucket pump, knapsack
sprayer, or barrel pump is desirable,
A rather coarse spray should be ap-
piled from all angles, and driven
thoroughly into all the cracks. The
floor also should be treated, as many
mites fall to the floor when roosts
are being removed.
Commercial carbolineum, which
consists essentially of a high-grade
anthracene oil, has proved very eff
fective against mites. The killing
power OF this substance, which is de-
rived from coal tar, lasts for several
months, and mites which may be in
clined to come in from other build
ings are repealed for long time. This
material costs ordinarily 81 per gal
Ion, but as its results are superior to
those recorded with any other ma
terial, and the treatments required
are fewer, its use is strongly advised.
Crude petroleum, while not so ef-
fectiye as carbolineum, retains its
killing power for several weeks, and
in most places is very cheap. Since il
does not dry into the wood SO rapidly
IL is more likely to soil the fowls and
the clothing Both OF these mater
ials can be sprayed better If reduced

Save Corn For Extra Seed.

When corn is selected from the
field for seed, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture urges that
enough seed be selected TO serve for
two or three years paintings. This is
ssential in the origination and perpe-
tuation of bodybuilding varieties
adapted to local conditions Seed corn
that natures well and dries out
promptly without injury will keep its
good terminating and yielding pow
er for four or five years. Often a
bad season will prevent the selection
OF desirable corn for seed But home
grown seed corn of the best quality
can be always available by protecting
a sufficient quantity from moisture
and insects.

Early Fall Lawn Seeding Best For
Northern States.


The first half of September is the
best time for seeding lawns in most
of the area south of the New England
States and north of the Potomac and
Ohio Rivers, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture states.
After the preliminary preparation,
which involves thorough working of
the soil by some means, the surface
soil to be seeded should be rendered
fine with rake or similar implement
and a liberal application of well-rot-
ted manure applied. or in lieu of his
about 90 pounds of bone meal for ev-
cry LOO square feet. This fertile
err assists young grass plants in MAX
ing sufficient growth to pass the FIST
winter in good condition.
A seed mixture recommended by
the department consist of 16 parts
of Kentucky bluegrass, parts re-
cleaned red-top, and l part white
clover. Sow at rate of approximate
y pounds per 1000 square feet. Tne
main point in seeding is 70 sow the
seed evenly and cover uniformly hut

Will Plant Nut-Bcaring Trees Along

The Good Roads Association OF
Michigan will hold a conference and
round up of good roads and forestry
officials and others interested at
Flint, Mich, August 80, to Septem-
Der /. Most of the program will be

tiers, but the nut specialist of the u.
S. Department of Agriculture will

about trees for roadside planting.
Much interest is manifested in Mich
igan in planting trees along the
highways, and nut-bearing trees are
being advocated for this purpose. Last
year 80 bushels of black walnuts were
procured from WashingtOn's old
home at Mt. Vernon and distributed
for planting along the highways. Be-
cause of it's very high value for tim
