seeds on the market.
Wild onions are one of the most
difficult crops to control and destroy.
Probably the best method OF hghtlng
this pest is to ploW the pastures
up shallow during the late fall. Turn
occur. In this way many of the
bulbs are destroyed by freezes. Har-
rowing the land and raking the on
ions together and burning them is
good practice. Smother crops will
help control them. A very thick crop
must be used for this purpose, how
ever, or else the onions will manage
to grow UP through it and get enough
light to enable them to product seed.
You can not overcome the flavor of
onions in milk by the practice you
have suggested. 1t is of course help
full but not curative Of the trouble.
The plan to which you refer is that
turned on the pasture and then bring
ing her in several hours before she
is to be MIXED again. This would
work probably where silage is fed
or where turnips or some other mild
ly Favored crop is consumed by the
animal, but the onion flavor cannot
be successfully eradicatedy from milk
by the practice suggested.
The price of acid phosphate va
ries. 1t can probably be purchased
now in carload lots at a cost of SIS
to SIT per %~l. The sack price will
probably be higher. The market has
huctuated a good deal lately, and one
desiring to purchase material on the
basis indicated should write to sew
eral dealers.
The O-too-tan soy bean is a good
producer of forage. 1t requires a
long season in which to mature. We
do mt think it is likely to prove SO
satisfactory for cultivation in your
section of the state as some other
strains, and we would not recommend
it's general cultivation on that ac-
count.
The weather, of course, is always
a subject of much interest, but how
to successfully prognosticate the
kind of weather we are, li.ely to
have during the spring and summer
is something which L do not think
has been worked out very satisfac-
torily as yet.

AUNT JULIA.
MARY MEPEDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

I'm a girl of nineteen, going with
boy of thirty-siX. Is he too old
for me? What should one say when
young man gives one an expensive
present? What should 1 say when a
young man asks me to go to the
drug store? Is it proper for girl to
let a young man hold her hand?
What should 1 say when a boy tells
me that he loves me before others?
Is it proper when engaged and boys
and girls ask me to go car riding to
go? And should my beau object?
Thanks for your advice.
ORPHAN GIRL.
1t depends on the tempera-
ment of the man whether he is
too old. l think seventeen years
is too big a difference. However,
it depends entirely on the man,
his energy, brains and health. If
he has plenty of all three he may
be able to work for you for a
long time, and your tempera-
ments may suit each other abso-
lutely. You can thank the giver,
say how pleased you are with
the gift and how much pleasure
it will give you to use it, or
wear it. Polite expressions will
naturally find their way to ones
lips without the aid Of anyone,
no matter how illiterate one may
be. If you want to go to the
drug store, thank the young man
and say you'll go. If you don't
care to go, say so. Thank him
for the invitation, but you would
rather not go. Holding hands is
all right, may seem silly to those
not concerned, but it is thor
oughly enjoyed by the lovers"
There's nothing to say when a
man declares he loves you before
a bunch of people, but let MIN
make a Ounce of himself. You
needn't reply to his avowal. No
harm for an engaged girl or
boy to accompany young people
on an auto ride, or street car
ride. He can be true to his lady
love and she to him, even if
asked to join in frolics.

BOSTON. July 25.-The difficulty OF

The check in shipments was occasion

day by threat of a general strike in
the San. Francisco bay region. Build
ing had been resumed to some extent

the bad today One of these good
signs is the increased output or OIL
from the Keen county fields. which
totaled about S50,000,000 for The first

Damage to fruit has been offset by
better prices in many lines. although
