horses. In the ncighborhood is a re-

has bought in order to rout them
out. Dan and Kate appear there

emphasized by report which recently

OF agriculture concerning the destruc-

So bad was the infestation that not q

as hazel dodder. species not un-
common on hazel and other wild
shrubs and on tick trefoil and other
wild herbs. but never previously re-

partment recommends that on land
known to contain the seeds Of dOdder,

immune to attacks Of the pest. The
following plants are not susceptible
to injury by dodder: corn, soy beans.

FACTS CONCERNING
WOOL MARKETING

There are a few fundamental
principles involved in the market
ing of wool that may be considered.
Wool must be graded into large
commercial lines in order to attract
buyers from large Wooden Mills. No
matter in what manner the Wool is
marketed, it must be prepared in
the foregoing manner. Therefore,
if wool is sold locally it is purchas-
ed at a price calculated to cover all
of these items of expense and pro-
fit to spectators.
Wool is shorn in very short
time, bNt consumed throughout the
entire year. 1t is the policy of
the wool pool to distribute in an
orderly manner,--to feed the mar
ket rather than force it-and thus
be stabilizing factor in the wool
trade. and to exert every effort to
obtain actual values for the grower
This method of marketing ac-
cords the small shipment the same
careful attention that is given car
load consignments. However, do
not ship less than 100 pounds on
account of excessive transportation
charges.
Remember the National Wool
Warehouse & Storage Company, who
are handling our wool is just as
anxious to make speedy returns as
consignors are to receive them, and
is striving in every possible way to
accomplish this rebuilt. Satisfac-
tory prices, however, cannot be OBJ
tanned by selling CT an unfavorable
market and shippers are asked to
bear I'M mind that the wool will be
dispensed of just as rapidly as
satisfactory market values can be
obtained.
The Warehouse Company extends
cordial invitation to consignors to
visit the Warehouse and observe
methods employed in grading and
marketing their product, for it is
always striving to protect the in
terest of the wool grower.

FARMER
PLANTS ALFALFA

Mr.. Elk. IeCZncr, Oh the lOWH VI
Washburn has just sowed five acres
of alfalfa After purchasing a
carload of ground limestone and APP
plying ten tons of manure per acre.
Mr.. Tetzner plowed the five acre
tract last fall, worked the limestone
and manure well into the soil and
then again worked it many times
this Spring before seeding. The
alfalfa was seeded the last week
in May with q sbushel per acre of
Barley for a nurse crop.
Mr.. Tetzner is very proud of his
fine stand of alfalfa which now
covers the ground and he is firm
believer of Alfalfa. as a dairy feed
and knows he can increase his pro-
fits from his dairy herd from this
crop.
MADISON, Wis.-The festive
grssshopper is to be brought under
state control. The towns of Liber-
ty Grove and Egg Harbor in Door
county have appropriated total of
$3.50 for grasshopper control this
coming season and several other
town boards are considering similar
action. The .grasshopper loss in
the northern boards are considering
similar action. The grasshopper
loss in che northern half of the coun-
ty was very heavy last year and in
some areas would have resulted in
total destruction Of crops if control
measures had not been applied.
The technical direction for the
work is being given by the State
Department of Agriculture at Madi-
son. The methods used consist of
the distribution of poison bran in
pastures and the cut-over lands
adjoining farms. Over thousand
bushels of poison bran was distri-
buted last year and the amount is
expected to be more than doubled
this season if the grasshoppers are
as numerous as before.
MADISON, Wis.-Over 5000
Wisconsin farmers are assisting the
Crop Reporting Service of the State
Department and U. S. Department
of Agriculture in arriving at pre-
liminary acreage figures this. spring.
The above numbers have already re-
ported on the acreage of the various
crops they planted this year and
last year, Many additional re-
ports will be received before the
middle of June. This will enable
che Service to estimate the acreage
in all principal crops for every
county in the State. Much credit
S given by the Service to the pro-
gressive farmers of the State for
their prompt and willing support of
the Crop Reporting work. Farmers
are more and more coming to real
ize that in contributing toward ac-
curati crop information they are
helping themselves to better plan
their paintings and market their
crops.

PLAN TO SMOTHER BINDWEED
Alfalfa Is One Of Best Means Of Con-
trolling Wild Morning GIory-other
Crops Useful.

Alfalfa, because of its excellent
smothering effect and frequent cutting
it receives, Is one of the best all-around
means Of controlling bindweed (wild
morning glory) In sections where
alfalfa grows well, United States
Department of Agriculture experts
find. Cowpeas. sorghum, millet, soy
beans and buckwheat are also useful
as smothering crops, but are rarely
as successful as alfalfa. 1t Is well
to follow alfalfa with clean cultivated
crop, such as corn.
Hogs are fond of both the under
ground and above ground growth of
bindweed II the land is plowed it
will greatly assist the hogs in re-
moving the underground parts. Sheep
pasturing has been found helpful, but
it is not as useful a method as hog
pasturing. Grazing helps to hold bind
weed in check, but can not be de-
pended upon to secure eradication.
The use of chemicals other than salt
has not been successful except under
special conditions and is not rec
commended. Care should he exercised
to prevent the introduction Of the pest
by means of (1) impure seed, especially
impure wheat seed; (2) manure
bindweed seed may be contained in
the droppings or may enter manure
by the addition Of bedding contain
ing bindweed seeds, and (3) thrashing
outfits, thrashing machines, unless
thoroughly cleaned, may carry the
seeds of bindweed from farm to farm.
