GROWING HEAD LETTUCE

Letter from secretary Of state
farm bureau received by county
agent:
Answering your question as to
what variety Of head lettuce is best
will say that the farmers in the
lawer valley are using the New York,
which can be purchased at any reli-
able seed house, altho the state farm
bureau will probably make arrange
ments for any seed desiredsby Idaho
growers. The proper time to plant
head lettuce for fall crop is between
the twenty-fifth Of July and the fifth
of August. The market is staple and
there is q demand in all the large
cities, however, we market the ma
jority Of ours in the central states,
such as Chicago, Cinciannati and
Toledo. Ilwould not advise raising
this crop in large quantities until

planting is well tried out, as to eli
matte and soil conditions. One thing

DlsKING IN MANURE FAVORED

Fermentation.

After applying manure to the sur
face, disking will incorporate 1t evenly

full effects Of excessive fermentation
which occurs from blowing manure I'M
der. Sod that is dry, II disked before
blowing, will be more mellow and
the surface less liable to excessive
evaporation. Root crops planted on
spring plowed land will do better II the
land has been disked previous to plow-
ing. When stubble remains on the
ground, disking breaks 1t up into small
pieces so that when plowed under the
organic matter is more evenly distrib-
uted. Before working under green
crops 1t is advisable to trail them

FIGHT STARTED ON INSECTS
Many Farmers Begin War on Pests
by Cleaning Up and Burning
Rubbish In Gardens,

Many farmers have begun to fight
against next years insects by raking
up and burning all stalks and leaves
and other debris which, left undis-
turbed, will furnish snug quarters for
the pests during the winter. Also
there is nothing like fire to wipe out
or hold in check various plant dis
eases that have secured lodgment the
past season. Cleaning up the vege-
table garden and truck field is good
business" says W. T. Tapley, horti.
culturist at University Farm. "In-
sects and diseases will always be with
10 80 long as we leave old stumps
and leaves around. Old weed patches
around the edge OF the fields should
be moved, raked and the weeds hauled
of or burned"

KEEPING APPLES IN WINTER
More Care Than Usual Should Be
Used in Handling and Storage
Owing to Scarcity.

Those who have apples this season
should use more than usual care in
handling them and storing them for
winter. There will be big profits In
this fruit along about the holidays.
In many sections there are no apples
at all, and scabby, wormy fruit is alto.
gether too plentiful. Those who are
lucky enough to have sound, sprayed
apples should sort out all bruised
ones, all scabby or imperfect ones,
and then leave the good apples outside
as long as possible. II they are put
into winter storage the cellars should
be kept well ventilated and cool, other
wise the process Of ripening will be
carried to far and decay will set in.

happens regularly every year when

milk plant or creamery sour. One
creamery returned over $2,6OO worth
Of milk and cream in one year to
farmers. A milk plant received nearly
$4,000 gallons OF sour milk in one year.
Why? Because the milk was held
and shipped at too high q temperature
and the bacteria In It multiplied 20
rapidly that the milk soured before It
arrived. ~
Cooling milk on the farm will re-
duce this loss. All that II required is

The first thing to do Is to provide a

be wsll to build an Ice house, plans
for which may be obtained from the

factor and store it in pit, cellar, shed,
or other place, and insulate it with
sawdust or shavings. If this is done,
20 to 80 per cent additional ice should
be provided to allow for shrinkage.
Where cream only Is to be cooled, al
low at least one-half ton Of ice per
cow. For cooling milk, allow IN tons
per COW. These quantities should be
enough to leave margin for house

much than too little. Whenever prac-
ticable, build the ice house in the form

retards freezing. When 1t has frozen
to sufficient depth, mark of the
surface into cakes Of the desired size,
making sure that the lines form rect
angles. Cut out strip of ice with
the SAW the width Of the cake desired,
and force this strip under the Ice, thus
forming channel to the landing and
loading place. Large strips may then
be sawed off and foated to the land
ing, where they may be cut up into
cakes. These cakes are then hauled
to the storage place and packed in AZ
close together as possible, and all
cracks and air spaces filed in with
sawdust. Cakes that are cut sQuarely
and are uniform in size and shape
pack together with less air space and
are convenient to handle.
The cost of ice Is small, and the work
generally comes during slack season.

the summer, this refuse Is also q val
liable substitute for costly grains and

Unfortunate results which in some
instances have followed the use o.
garbage are due to feeding a mixture
Of table scraps that was not carefully
selected. Hens like fresh garbage, but
are not able to digest scraps Of tin
photograph needles and similar for.
eign material. Unless such substances
are separated from the garbage, dis.
astrous results invariably follow and
the poultryman soon abandons gar.
bage feeding and condemns it as I'm.
satisfactory. The Department of Ag-
riculture recommends that fresh gar.
bage be run through a meat or vege.
table chopper, and mixed with little
ground feed before 1t is fed to the
fowls.
As much of the table refuse should
be fed as the flock will clean up with
q relish inpthe course of an hour. All
feed which the birds reject should be
removed from the feeding pens or
yards as soon as possible thereafter.
Otherwise, 1t sours and communicates
