These ventilators, which look some
what like elongated crates, are made
with corners consisting of 2 by 4
scantlings Slated together with mar
row boards u TO 10 inches long. They
should be braced to prevent crushing.
The ventilatots are laid in the hay
10 or u feet apart horizontally and
far enough apart vertically so that the
distance will not be more than or 10
feet after the hay has settled. The
ends should come out 10 the edge OF
the hay so as to permit free passage
of air. This will permit the carrying
off of steam caused by evaporation and
will preserve the hay and prevent over

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT

By r. A. WALKER

three parts of the body which longest
resist the disintegration which follows
death are the teeth, the finger nails
and the hair, and of these the last
two are very nearly of the same char
acter.
Which is getting some little way
distant from the contention that
blonde women are not At for jury duty
because they are tickle.
Dido. queen of Carthage, of whom
Virgil writes I'm the Aeneid, was not
tickle, although she was a blonde She
stuck 70 her hero through thick and
thin and killed herself with a sword
that he furnished.
Cleopatra, who had red hair, a
shade darker than the real blonde,
was not what one might call absolute
ly constant in her devotions, but in
modern society she might not be listed
as extremely tickle.
But the analyzing of society, ancient
or modern, according TO the color of
the hair. would not furnish very sub
stantial basis for judging either wom-
en- or men, blondes or brunettes.
1t is what is just under their hair
that establishes the real qualifications
for any sort of duty.
Brains are all one color.
If the color of hair determined
ability what would become of the IN
fortunates who haven't any hair al
all?
Never mind about your hair, young
lady readers. Don't bother about its
color, and don't spend too much time
fixing IT,
If you are 10 be anxious about any
thing, be anxious about the inside of
your head instead Of the outside
That's the side that counts.

BLONDES AND BRAINS

A LEARNED Judge was recently
"A quoted as announcing from his

Blondes are fickle," were the words
attributed TO the justice, in:imating
that fickleness is bar TO what the
law is supposed 10 assure the person

A year or so ago big Western en-

announced that he would not receive
the applications of blondes, giving as

There has always been good deal
of discussion regarding the relative
attractiveness of blondes and bru-
nettes despite the fact that in the
long ago when the caveman was the
highest type of civilization, we were
all blonde, or at least red hair was
the darkest tint.
The reason why nature covered
primeval men and women with blonde

this theory is correct the weed-control
problem overshadOws all others with
which the farmer is confronted. Mod
ern agricultural science has discovered
much concerning the control and Grad
ication of these insidious land thieves.
The wild onion, for example, was con-
sidered hopeless problem from Mas
sachusetts TO Georgia, and as far west
as Missouri and Arkansas until a weed
specialist in the Department of Agri
culture discovered that the plant pro-
duced two kinds of bulbs. One type
was soft-coated, and formed the new
plants during late summer and fall;
the other was hard so that ii was IN
harmed by winter, and ready 10 form
the new plants in the spring. With
proved that the wild onion can be con-
trolled by blowing deeply in the late
fall to destroy the plants originating
from the soft-coated bulbs, and by
planting an intertilled crop, such as
corn, the following spring TO kill the
plants that come up from the hard
coated bulbs.
Weedy rOadsides are constant
sources of trouble for the adjoining
farm lands The seeds are carried

the farmers whose land ii borders.
Control Measures.
The underlying principles Of weed
control are shown in these rules by
the specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture:
Use pure seed.
Rotate the farm crops.
Utilize pasturing animals, particu-
larly sheep and goats, in keeping
weeds down.
Never allow weeds 10 mature. Nov
before the seeds have ripened.
Use intertilled crops. and cultivate
often.
Kill weeds while they are young by
means of a harrow or a weeder.
Compost manure for two months be-
fore using If il contains weed seeds.
Practice surface cultivation after
the crops have been removed in the
fall.
Use smother crops; buckwheat, soy
beans, cowpeas. velvet beans. clover,
etc.
Chemical poisons often are helpful.
Prepare the seed beds thoroughly 10
give the crop a start over the weeds.
Use winter cover crops.
Hunt out the scattered weeds. and
kill them.
Nov dangerous grasses and burn
the dry cuttings.
Small patches Of perennial weeds
can be killed by covering for the en-
tire season with building paper. boards,
or other materials 10 exclude the light.
Kill the roots of perennial weeds by
keeping the tops cut down.
Grow alfalfa. when practicable. on
weed-infested land.
Soil improvement by the use OF lime
or green manure will help 70 control
the weeds
Soiling crops prevent the weeds from
reaching maturity
