PLAN TO ERADICATE soRREL
Apply Ground Limestone, Hydrated
Lime or Observation-Disclosures
of Crops is Good.

A good treatment for sheep sorrel,
according to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture specialists, is to
apply ground limestone two tons per
acre, hydrated lime one and one-half
ton per acre, or quicklime one ton per
acre. The quicklime can be used to ad-
vantage by shaking with water and
sprinkling the mixture freely over the
sorrel. The liquid will injure the
leaves as we'll as help correct soil acid
ity. Sorrel can be destroyed by spray
ing with solution Of sulphate Of iron
(copperas), two pounds to the gallon
of water. The treatment will not per-
manently injure grass and will destroy
the weed If repeated as often as the
sorrel tries to send out new leaves
Spraying is useful where sorrel occurs
as patches In good stand of grass
and around rocks and fences. Iron
sulphate is deadly to clovers and to
many broad-leaved weeds, but is not
injurious to animals or the soil. Sor-
rel can easily be destroyed by short
rotation of crops. If possible, the rota-
ton should be arranged so that the
soil will be cultivated at different sea-
sons Of each year.

the soil may be stirred between the
rows and the plants kept growing rap
idly SO as to attain reasonable size
before the heated term of early sum-
mer sets in.
In the North 1t is customary to SOW
the seed broadcast about the 25th of
July on land from which early peas,
early potatoes, or some other early
crop has been removed. The land is
raked smooth and the small seeds sim
ply scattered over the surface, then
covered by again raking the soil. No
cultivation is required where the seeds
are SoWn broadcast.
In the southern states turnips are
frequently destroyed by plant lice that
suck the juices of the leaves These
insects are rather difficult to control,
spraying with nicotine preparations be-
ing about the only remedy.
Turnips stand considerable cold, but
those that are to be placed in pits or
in the cellar for winter use should not
be allowed to freeze before being
stored. If they become frozen in stor-
age, they should not be disturbed until
they thaw naturally.

More care in loading cars will pre-
vent much damage in shipments of
new potatoes, say specialists of the
bureau of markets, United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, discussing
methods of loading and types of con-
tainers in use. Shifting of the loads
in transit, weak and partly filled pack
ages, and lack of proper ventilation
are found to be responsible for losses
In many cars arriving at markets. eau
ton against loading diseased potatoes
is also urged because of the large
number of shipments that show Scab,
wilt, or late blight, and in some cases
are practically worthless when they
reach the market
Press Potatoes Firmly in Barrels.
The double-headed ventilated bar
rel, it Is said, appears to be the best
package for new potatoes that is
now In general use. If properly made,
1t protects the potatoes as we'll as
holds them in place. Much less break
age has been found in cars where the
barrels are loaded on end than when
loaded on their bilge. Wooden strips
should be placed on top of the lower
layers of barrels for the upper layers
to rest upon.
There is one serious objection to this
method of loading. In some instances
the barrels appear to be slack measure
when they arrivs at the market, due to
the jolting in transit. This fault, how
ever, it is said can be largely elm
mated If growers will fill their barrels
full and use press when heading.
Loading barrels on their bilge is said
not to be q safe practice unless head
liners (strips to prevent heads bulg-
ing) are used. 1t is said that the
use Of headliners would prevent nine
tenths of the breakage in all types of
loads with barrels. Records show
that practically every car has from 3

BETTER PROFITS IN POULTRY
Specialists of Department of AgricuI-
ture Give Reasons for Favoring
Standard BREEDS.

Here are five reasons given by spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture for keeping
standardized poultry:
standardized poultry Is more uni
form in size, type and color.
standardized poultry is more at
tractive in appearance and appeals
more strongly to purchasers of stool;
and eggs.
Standardized poultry offers a
greater combination of practical and
useful qualities suitable to the needs
of the farmer and poultry keeper.
The products of standardized fowls
are more uniform in quality, are In
greater demand, and bring better
prices.
Standardized poultry means great.

to 30 or more barrels broken on ar
rival at the market. Extra bracing is
needed when barrels are loaded on
their bilge.
Prevent Barrels Rolling.
Wooden strips should be placed
across the floor at frequent intervals
In order to prevent the lower barrels
from rolling. Use of rocks for this
purpose localizes the strain and causes
much breakage. Strips should also be
placed across the doors to prevent the
barrels on the upper layer from falling
against and tanning the doors.
The sack, it is said, is not a suitable
container for tender new potatoes; it
offers no protection from bruising, and
when loaded is hard to ventilate. If
sacks are to be used they should be
of no greater capacity than 100
pounds. This size sack can be ham
died with much greater care and lends
itself to ventilation better than larger
sizes. Neither are hampers, it is said,
suitable packages for potatoes. They
do not have the necessary strength for
the weight Of their contents and offer
little protection for the potatoes.
Crates of various sorts are being
used, and, according to reports. APP
pear satisfactory where the strength
of the crate is sufficient for the weight
of it's contents. Weak crates should
not be used under any circumstances
and crates with wide opening tend to
wilt the potatoes while in transit.
Crates must be loaded tightly and firm
ly. and no slack space left without
suitable braclng, While stripping is rec
commended.
No matter what container is used, it
is said, the grower should exercise
great care to keep diseased and injured
potatoes out of 1T. very high per-
centage Of the cars arriving at north
ern markets show much scab, bacteria
wilt, late blight, or all three. Grow
ers should also see that their packages

Turnips are one of the most univer-
sally grown of all garden crops. In the
northern states turnips are planted in
midsummer and stored for winter use.
In the southern states they are plant
ed early in spring for early summer
use, also in the fall for use during the
winter. Turnip tops make excellent
winter greens throughout the greater
part of the southern states. For early
spring culture it is customary to SOW
the seed in drills about a foot apart
and thin the plants to about three
inches in the drill. By this method
