GRASS GROWN WITHOUT SEED
Best Strains Have Been Developed by
Cutting Up Runners From Thrifty
Looking Spots.

Many good turf grasses that repro
duce by runner have lost the habit
Of producing seed, and for this reason
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture has been experimenting with
the v~egetative propagation of some Of
the most satisfactory strains Of bent
grasses. Better strains have been de-
velOped by finding spots In lawns and
on golf courses where the turf was
particularly good, cutting up the run
ners and planting these cuttings Il in
crease plots. Most Of this work has
been done in northern states, although
some good strains of Bermuda grass
have been selected which give promise
Of value in the South.
A number of commercial growers
have been working on these improved
grasses and now have cuttings for sale.
However, it is possible for a person
to improve his own lawn or for a
golf club to improve the turf on the
course by selecting spots where the
grass is particularly good and growing
the cut runners in rows In a garden or
field. When the good strain has been
increased sufficiently in this way the
old lawn or turf may be plowed up
and the new strain established.

MARRIED MEN BEST WORKERS
Farm Are Less Than SO Per
Cent for Single Men.

If you want a job on q farm your
chances Of getting 1t are slightly better
than 30 per cent If you r married,
and slightly less than 20 per cent if
single. But II you're married and have
children your chances are around 45
per cent.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has found that, Of 1901
farm Jobs advertised In eastern farm
papers from 1920 to 1922, single men
were wanted In 3S7 instances, and
married men in 416 instances. In 89S
cases the social requirements were not
stated.
OF the advertisements for married
men children specifically were not
wanted in "a instances. Children we're
wanted or were permissible in IA in
stances.
Many farmers who hire laborers
have no dwellings to let and conse-
quently annot employ married men, it
Is said. If the farmer has a dwelling
for a laborer's family he prefers that
It should be occupied.

ASSESSORS FIGURES
AID EXTENSION WORK
Usefuf to Determine county's Big
Farm Problems.
In One Instance II Was Discovered
Thst 81 Per Cent Of Land Was
Farned BY Tsnants-Fedsral
Farm Loan Unknown.

(Prepared BY the United States Department
eNS OF Agriculture.)
In making county and community
programs Of demonstrations and other
extension activities for the year, ex-
tension agents In Oklahoma report to
the United States Department Of Ag.
riculture that the use Of county census
and assessors figures as a basis for
determining the county's major agri-
cultural problems is proving very sue
cessful. A meeting of the men and
women from each community Is called
each year by the county agricultural
agent for the purpose Of making a
program for the years extension work.
In these meetings It has been found
that these figures are Of great service
in showing agricultural conditions Of
the county In a concise and compre-
hensive way. In n instance it was
found that about 81 per cent Of the
county's agricultural land was farmed
by tenants. Discussion brought out
the fact that the federal farm loan
was practically unknown in the county
and plans were made to conduct q
campaign to bring the benefits Of the
loan to the attention Of the communi-
ties as a possible means Of securing
a greater percentage Of farm owner
ship
Figures showing that more acres in
the county were being planted to wheat
than any other crop started a discus
sion which indicated there was differ
ence of opinion as to the best variety
for the locality; it vas therefore de-
cided that demonstration plats Of the
best-liked varieties of this crop be
grown in eight sections Of the county.
In a similar way all the figures cover
ing the agricultural activities Of the
county are studied in these program
making meetings, and as a result a
program Is made which is based on
what statistics have shown to be the
most urgent needs of the communities
and in which general interest through
out the county Is felt.
