Rotation Only Practical
 Cure of Pea-Sick Land

Where the crop of peas grown for canning Or truck market purposes the past season has shown root rot, the United States Department of Agriculture advises planning Tor long rotation of other crops, begln- ming with the next season, to rid the soil of the disease. A four-year rota- tion is sometimes effective, but cases have been met, both in the East and in the Central States, where even longer rotation has proved 1nsun1- cient.
 Investigations by the department during the past three years nave shown that root rot of peas IS pres ent in all of the larger pea-groWlng areas east of the Mississippi, and to some extent in Montana and Utah. The disese lives in the soil and be- comes more destructive each year that peas are grown on infested land, soon reducing the crop to such an extent as to make it unprofitable. 1t is distributed by the custom preval- ent in some sections of transferring soi$l from old fields to new ones to carry the nodule bacteria, and by wind and other means.
 The area of pea-sick land is widen ing each year. It is particularly inn portant that the large seed-growing regions of the West, which have re- mained free of the disease up to the present time, be protected from it by the practice of proper rotation.
 The department is breeding varle- ties of peas resistant to root rot, put some time must elapse before there can be any assurance that the com mercial growers problem can be solved in this way.

Some Egg Shipping Don'ts

Here are some "dont's" offered by the United States Department of Agriculture that many times mean the difference between loss or a profit in shipping carload eggs:
 Don't waste time and labor by using cheap cases; time and labor are precious.
 Don't save pennies by buying poor filters and flats when you lose dollars in broken eggs. The saving of one egg would pay for the extra cost of a set of No. 1 filters.
 Don't nail braces to sides of cal against an incomplete top layer they seldom hold in place and ofter are the cause of damage. They in jure the efficiency of the car insula-

Three Practical Methods
 Of Fattening Poultry

Three methods of fattening poul- try are used in this country--pen fattening, crate fattening, and ma chine cramming. The first two are the most common; the third is used only where but few birds are to be fattened. Pen fattening is practiced by many nersons who do not have the time and inclination to use other methods The essentials of pen fattening are quiet, darkness, except at feeding time, and plenty of soft feed gwen at regular intervals, usually three times a day. Birds may be kept Tn flocks of Is or 20, but the sexes should be separated.
 In crate fattening few chickens are kept in crates and fed from a trough. A crate feet long, 1o inches high, and 18 or 20 inches wide is suitable and is large enough for a dozen birds. Sometimes the crate is divided into two or three commandments, four to six birds be- ing kept in each compartment. Little room is desirable, for the less exer- else the birds have the more readily will they fatten. If the crate is to be left outdoors the top should be cov- cred. The sides should be made ot slats about 2 inches apart so the birds can eat from the trough which is hung just outside the crate. The bottom of the crate should be of slats about an inch apart, to permit the droppings to fall through, or dropping pans may be used and the crates arranged in tiers. In indoor feeding the crates should be put in well-ventilated room. Usually the birds are fed three times day anc are allowed to eat for half an nou1 at a time, when the uneaten feed ls removed.
 Crate and machine cramming are described in Farmers Bulletin 287 issued by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, and 1t would be advisable to procure a copy.
 Crate-fattening birds should al ways have soft feed. As they eav no exercise they require feed tha can be digested easily and quickly This mixture is used on New Yor poultry farm: 100 pounds finel ground barley, 100 pounds incl

Blue Mold Causes Loss
 I'm Northwestern Apple

In Northwestern Apples
 A large part of the decay in Northwestern apples is caused by blue mold, an organism that seldom if ever affects sound fruit. As the result of inquiries made recently by the Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates, United States Department of Agriculture, it was found that some of the common ways in which apples are injured in commercial operations and thus made liable to decay from blue mold are as follows:
 Cruising by the pickers or by emptying the fruit carelessly from the picking receptacle into the or chard box.
 Stacking the filled slatted-bottom orchard boxes on the stubble of al- falfa, which is commonly grown be- tween the trees as cover crop.
 Careless stacking or loading or chard boxes.
 Hauling the loose fruit over rough roads in improperly equipped trucks or wagons.
 After being delivered at the pack ing house the fruit is frequently handled roughly in unloading and stacking in the temporary storage: Later unnecessary bruising IS caused by careless dumping on the sorting tables or feeding hoppers. A com plete discussion of handling North western apples is contained in Far mers' Bulletin 1904, Northwestern Apple Packing Houses, copies o1 which may be had by addressing request to the Division of Puolica tions, United States Department o1 Agriculture, Washington, D. c.

tion. The use of small under-case braces will prevent all of this.
 Don't waste ice and refrigeration by slowing the load so as to make air circulation in the car impossible.
 Don't tie up your money in freight claims because of loose load. Tie up the load and leave the money loose to work again.

Prosperity, due to the readjust-
n.tLt of industrial conditions, is re-
turning to the u lid states, in the
opinion Of Salvation Army experts
who are now touring the Ohio VAL
Icy, organizing volunteer Community
Advisory Boards for the extension
of the Army's Homo Service Pro-
gram for 1921.
The number of unemployed indi-
Gated in the reports received from
tie Field Men Of the s ,;vationists,
shows that there is a tendency in all
lines for resumption oe activity. The
reports, submitted to Brigadier Her.
bert Roberts, Of Cincinnati, COM
manding the Army for Western Ohio
and Kentucky, show that juvenile as
wen as adult delinquency is not as
great as might be expected. This
conclusion is based upon II study
of confidential reports obtained from
police department and court Off
cials.
The Salvation Army is attempting

tend its relief work for suffering
humanity into the life Of the smaller
communities in the country. Al
though the work of the Army is di-
vived into 16 major classifications,
its greatest interests are centered in
the maternity and rescue work for
women, industrial work for men, the
care Of little children, and its reli-
gious activities. Just now the Sal
vationists are helping thousands of
men who have been thrown out of
employment by the industrial slump.
Community Advisory Boards have
been organized in 36 citeis in Briga-
dier Roberts district and nearly 200
others will be formed, members of
which will act as agents of the Army
in reporting to it cases they are un-
able to solve locally.

Has Civilization
Enslaved Us?

Many a business man, mechanic |
and banker going down to the desk
or the bench on one of our rare
spring mornings, feels precisely as
the schoolboy does who drags his
reluctant feet to the class in geog-
raphy or arithmetic, that civilized
life is an invention of some evil
genius of the human family.
The call of the open country, the
lake and river, the mountain trail
and the avenues Of the pines, the
yielding sod and the odo rof the good
black earth, the wild things Of the
trees and the thickets, creates in US
longing to be free, to throw off
the shackles Of office, and shop, and
market and return to the simpler and
more wholesome life into which man
was introduced upon his first ap-
pearance on the planet. The deep
and ineradicable affinities for the
great spaces and the open sky, and
the companionship with nature, re-
assert themselves when the woods
are greening and the spring floods
send the streams leaping and sing
ing down the wales.
Who shall say but that civiliza-
ton with it's drudgery, its hurry, its
multiplying wants, its accelerating
machinery Of production, its huge
and stifling cities, its increasing
complexity and artificiality is not
robbing us of our birthright and i'm
poverishing our natures made to
commune with the works of God and
to enter into the divine silences of
the creation where the "still small
voice" is heard?
1t is a painful reflection that is
developing the riches of the earth,
lin mastering the secrets of nature,
in harnessing its forces, in the pur-
suit of science, literature and art,
and in surrounding ourselves with
comforts and conveniences we have
not been able at the same time to
preserve our contact with the soil,
the rocks, the trees, the flowers, the
winds, the waters, the stars and~the
living creatures. In gaining one king
dom we have lost another and per-
haps a greater.
A recent writer, commenting on
book by Hudson, recalls chapter
in which the author tells how as a
boy of twelve he was accustomed to
go into the lonely places on the great
plains of Argentina and how "sur-
rounded by the silence and the beau
ty Of the land and sky, by the subtle
influences Of the things that grew
there and that moved mysteriously
through the grass and tall reeds"
eventually kind Of magic wrought
upon his nature by the force of which |
he became transformed by what he
calls "animism," so that he felt that |
he had been initiated into a kind of
society, and so changed that he was |
differentiated from his associates,
his family and ordinary men gener-
ally, and becoming one with nature
shook off the entanglements and en-
slavements Of thousands of years of
civilization.
An experience such as this renews
youth, restores health, clears the
vision, purifies the thoughts Of the
heart and becomes a source of per-
manent happiness.
It is humiliating to go off into the
wilds with a genuine woodsman and
discover how quickly our resources
are exhausted, how helpless we are,
how far we have wandered from the
contacts which we were designed to
