COMBAT WILD ONIONS
BY FLOWING IN FALL
Pest Causes Loss of Millions
of Dollars.
Important Remedial Method 10 70
Sow Small Grain, Preparing Land
Before Seeding - Maturity
Of BulbIets Prevented.

Wild onions, otherwise known as
garlic, which cause American farmers
millions of dollars annual loss, can
best be combated by deep, late fall
blowing. In the opinion Of the United
States Department of Agriculture. In
blowing, the tops should be complete
ly turned under. A jointer attached
to the pillow, and also disking before
blowing. will help to put the tops I'M
der. The following spring give the
land thorough preparation and plant
to some titled crop, such as corn in
check rows.
1t is sometimes impracticable to
eradicate this pest completely. An
important remedial method in such
cases Is to SOW small grain late in the
fall, blowing and preparing the land
just before seeding the grain. This
method will not destroy the onions,
but gives them such setback that the
bulblets do not have time to mature
before the grain is harvested.
An important precautionary meas
ure Is to SOW only grain which Is free
from bulblets.
Damage from wild onion Is Of two
general classes. Cows eat the young
shoots in spring, resulting in tainted
milk and butter; and the bulblets
which grow In clusters at the
top Of the stalk in summer are so
nearly the size and weight OF wheat
kernels that II is difficult or almost
impossible to separate them except
after artificial or over-season drying.
Onion-tainted wheat -four Is highly OBJ
jectionable In bread, and wheat thus
fouled is Stunned by millers. The
presence of onions In wheat also in
terferes with milling operations by
cumming the rolls.

blaze never can get out of control. Ii
is best not to have the children near
the fire. This is perhaps hardship.
At least they can be kept from play
ing with the fire.
When new buildings are to be con-
structed proper spacing and the
liberal use Of concrete and mason
work will reduce fire liability. Smoke
houses should never be built so that
hot Goals can start a blaze. Hot ashes
never should be dumped In inflam-
mable receptacles.
Fire-Fighting Equipment.
In the way Of providing fire-fighting
equipment much can be done without
great outlay. Barrels Of water on the
roof and pals of water kept standing
in convenient places will possibly save
disastrous loss. If there Is an ele'
waited tank or force pump, a hose
connection will be found invaluable In
time Of need. A ladder that will reach
the roof should always be available
for immediate use.
Sand should be kept handy to throw
on gasoline and oil fires; water only
s alters them. There are number OF
simple chemical extinguishers on the
market. some commercial and some
homemade.
With the present widespread use OF
automobiles, rural fire company
equipped either with motor pump OF
large chemical extinguisher, or both
can easily be organized and equipped
Every farm fire suggests preventive
and protective measures that should
have been provided. Take little time

First weather Man"

An Englisbman. Francis Cation, was
the first real weather man. Cation
was cousin of Charles Darwin. He
was born in England In 1924. Whether
he was really able to forecast rain
and sunshine with more accuracy than
his successors Is an open question /;
but 1t is certain that he was the first
to attempt the charting, on large
scale, of the progress of the elements
Of weather. The methods devised by
him, In modified form, are used to this

FARMER PAcs THE FREIGHT

That the farmer pays the freight
is quite apparent from careful
study of the transportation situation
as it exists today This was brought
out at the RECEIPT hearing OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission of
Denver. when representative OF
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
tion presented statement that be-
gan with the declaration that the
price OF farm products is fixed at
the market and not at the farm,
that the farmer receives the market
price, less the freight, while the
manufacturer adds the freight to
the cost OF production,
'It Is because the farmer must so
pay the freight in every case that
the increase in freight rates affects
the agricultural interests OF the ma
ton so seriously" continues the
statement.

cedented fall In prices of farm pro-
