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 concise and compre-
hensive way. In one instance II 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 a
campaign to bring the benefits of the
loan to the attention Of the communl-
ties as possible means OF securing
a greater percentage of farm owner

the county were being planted to wheat

for the locality; 1t was therefore de-
cided that demonstration plats Of the
best-liked varieties OF this crop be
grown in eight sections Of the county.
In similar way all the figures cover.
ing the agricultural activities Of the
county are studied In these program
making meetings, and as n 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.

The United States Department Of

WAR GASES PROPOSED
TO ERADICATE PESTS
Some OF Them Promise to Be
Quite Efficient.
Particularly Useful When Heavier
Than Air and Used on Burrowino
Rodents and Insects In
Stored Products.

OF Agriculture.)
Deadly gnses that were deyeloped
for war purposes are now being tried
out by the United States Department
OF Agriculture as a means for destroy.
Ing noxious birds, animals, and Insects.
Some OF them promise to be useful
when applied under proper conditions.
particularly those that are heavier
than air and can be used on burrowing
rodents, and possibly subterrnnean In.
Sscts and pests In stored products
The most recent proposal Is to use
gas to kill destructive birds that con-
gregate In marshes. In the coming
fall the biological survey, In cooper
alton with the chemical warfare serV-
Ice, Is planning to make trial OF the
method on blackbirds In the Imperial
valley of California. In that region
these birds are said to do at least $780,
600 worth Of damage to the milo crop
each year. Because OF their feeding
habits it is impossible to destroy these
birds with poisoned bats. but, as they
roost on the reeds In the marshes. Il
Is thought that they can be killed by n
gas cloud at night when the wind is
favorable. The blackblrds are migra.
tory and return to the same places
year after year. 1t is thought that a
big killing In a certain locality will
probably free II of the pests for many
years.
Arrangements also are being mnde
by the biological survey with the chem.
ical warfare service for investigating
the possibility Of using poison gases on
such burrowlng rodents as rats, prairie
dogs, ground squirrels, and wood
chucks.
Entomologists OF the department
have already worked in co-operat ton
with the War department In testing
various gases on insect pests Of grow
Ing plants and those that lnfest stored
grain, but 1t has not yet been found
advisable to recommend anything to
take the place OF hydrocyanlc-acid gas
or carbon blsulphlde.
The serious disadvantages OF many
OF these new gases Is that they are
dangerous or very Irritating to men,
horses, and mules, and require the use
of masks and great care IN handling.

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 runners have lost the habit
Of producing seed. and for this reason
the United States Department OF Agrl-
culture has been experimenting with
the yegetatlve 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 In 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, II Is possible for 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.

KEEP HOE GOING IN GARDEN
Success Of Vegetable Crops Depends
Greatly on cultIvstion-Plan
to Keep Weeds Out.

Much OF the success OF vegetable
culture depends on keeping the hoe
going. Never miss a chance when the
ground is In semlmoist condition.
That is just the very best time for the
work. Keep stirring as deeply as
possible between the rows Of all young
growing vegetables to open up the
soil and lay It ready for the action Of
sun and air. BY this process weeds
never get foothold, far less reach the
seeding stage. II this plan is per-
sisted In one can almost see the
vegetables growing. II is not hard
work, and 1t is well worth the time II
takes.

HARVEST CLOVER SEED CROP
II Little overripe Loss Of Heads
May BE Reduced by Cutting Early
In the Morning.

Under normal conditions clover
should be cut when the heads have
turned a dark brown. II the clover
is little Oyerripe, the loss OF the
heads may be materially reduced by
cutting early in the morning or In
the evening when there is dew. The
clover should be cut as high as pos
sible; this enables threshing to be
speeded up, as there will be less straw
to handle.
