The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1922-10-11


The reader should remember that
the writer of these articles is del
uged with inquiries every day that
more than taxes his ability to an
swer. consequently he must be for
given for any delay, either personally
or through the medium of The Age
Herald. For example, a writer wants
to know the most economical method
of casing bugs or insects; the next
one will want to know how to treat
some new plant disease, another what
1t cost to grow a winter crop of
lettuce. Everything under the sun
is demanded and some enclose
stamped envelopes for a personal
reply. The writer tries to answer
all of these inquiries but he often
gets behind with the work either
through overwork or more frequent
~ through sheer laziness. but If one
keeps up with these daily articles
or the questions and answers he
should soon become an expert him
self. The writer's to this depart
ment are requested to be patient. II
you don't see in the paper a direct
answer to your question. write an
other letter and enclose a stamped
envelope for a personal reply. We
try to answer all questions promptly
but there is a limit to our abilities.
Questions and Answers
@. am at loss to know how
deep to plant grass seed as no cata-
log seems to state this clearly VIII
you please put me right on this?
j. T., Route g.
A. As a general rule grass seed
must not be covered deep. Just re-
member when the plant reseeds, it
merely drops the seed on top of the
soil, which is natures own way of
sowing and while 1t Is possible to
assist or aid nature. stay close to the
rule of shallow covering. Barely
cover, but you assist nature when
you pack the ground after sowing,
so as to bring the seed in hard and
fast contract with soil particles.
Q. l am looking for something to
produce a quick growth for graz
ing chickens and suitable for graz
ing a fine milk COW. Please give a
formula for a lot 50x140 feet? J. H,
Inglenook.
A. Mix a peck each of barley and
winter oats. There is nothing bet
ter.
Q. Which mustard would stand the
most cold weather, be suitable for
winter salad, and remain longer in
spring without going to seed? w. M.
Goodwater.
A. There is a large broad leaf
mustard, smooth like cabbage,
called Chinese or cabbage leaf mus
tard that is particularly good. but
some types of so-called broad leaf
mustard are rough, spiny and not
much account. In buying describe
what you want and insist on getting
at. then you will not be disap-
pointed.
@. 1 read a good deal about plant
ing crocus bulbs on the lawn. Please
tell me how this is done? NJ. j.,
Talladega.
A. Take a spade or fork and lift
portion of the sod, then set bulbs
upright, replace sod and lamp down
over the bulbs. They will break
through the sod and come into bloom
before any other flower and really
before the lawn should be first cut
in spring. Leave the bulbs alone
after planting and don't take up as
is the custom with hyacinths, tupils
and narcissus.
Q. Are you acquainted with the

MARRIED MEN BEST WORKERS
Chances for Securing Employment on
Farm Are Less Than so Per

If you want job on a farm your
chances Of getting it are slightly better

The United States Department Of
Agriculture has found that, of 1901
farm jobs advertised In eastern farm

PolynesIans MYSTERIOUS Raca

The area occupied by the Polynesian
race in the Pacific is not less than
100000 square miles. But the land
surface within this area is relatively
small and varies from New Zealand
with its 100000 square miles to little
atolls barely large enough to resist
the waves. The branches of the race
are scattered from Hawaii in the
north to New Zealand in the south
from the New Hebrides in the west to

homogeneity Is remarkable feature

KEEP HOE GOING IN GARDEN
Success Of Vegetable Crops Depends
Greatly on CuItivation-PIan
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 semimoist 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. If this plan is per-
sisted in one can almost see the
growing. 1t is not hard
work, and 1t is well worth the time II
takes.
