TOP DRESSING HELPS CLOVER
AND BOOSTS WHEAT YIELDS

Top dressing wheat with an apph-
cation Of about four tons Of stable
manure an acre in many cases has
resulted IN average increase Of as
much as eight bushels an acre IN
the yield Of the crop, according to
experimental results being cited By
soil specialists at the College Of Ag-
riculture to show Kentucky farmers
the value Of the method. Top dress
ing quickens the growth Of grain in
the spring and encourages a good
stand Of grass or clover If these
are grown IN wheat
Top dressing with straw also il
recommended provided it is applied
early and at the rate Of not more
than one ton an acre. This prac-
tice has increased wheat yields from
one to two bushels an acre and i'm
proved the stand Of clover. If used
at this time Of the year, straw
should be applied only to poor land
where wheat does not succeed and
where il is difficult to obtain a
stand Of clover.
Care should be taken in top dress
ing wheat to see that the manure is
not applied too heavily. Coarse ma
nure should be avoided as much a.
possible.
Many farmers who are troubled
with gullies in which it is difficult
to obtain a stand Of grass are using
manure as top dressing to good
advantage, the specialists say. Top
dressing which helps the growth of
grass, has been found to be one Of
the most efficient methods of stop
ping gulleys and washing, they say.
If the supply Of manure is limited,
those parts of the field that are sub
ject 10 washing could be top dressed
most profitably, the specialists
have pointed out.

Among the notable professional men
of this country who achieved great
success along strictly legitimate lines
was DIR. K. V. Pierce. .Devoting his
attention to the specially OF women's
diseases, he became a recognized
authority in that line.
Over fifty years ago this noted
physician gave to the world a Pre-
scription which has never been
equaled for the weaknesses of
women. DR.. Pierce, Of Buffalo, n. Y,
long since found out what is natu-
rally best for women's diseases. He
learned it all thru treating thou
sands of cases. The result OF his
studies was a medicine called Doctor
Pierce's FavoTite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable grOwths
that nature surely intended for back
ache, headache, weakening pains, and
for the many disorders common TO
women in all ages of life. Women who
take this standard remedy know that
in DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
they are getting a safe woman's tonic
so good that druggists everywhere sell
it in both tablet and fluid form.

Is known to be free from black rot

out. The seed may be treated cas-

and inserting this into a wooden
tub OF barrel containing a mixture
Of one ounce Of corrosive sublimate
Of bichloride Of mercury and seven
and one-half gallons. of water At
the end Of FIVE or ten minutes the
potatoes should be removed and
rinsed OF in a tub Of water after
which they should be spread out to

three times, four ounces Of the cor
rosive sublimate being enough to
treat from six to ten bushels of the
seed. Precautions are necessary in
handling this MARTIAL as it Is deadly
poison.
Disease free soil can be secured
for the plant bed from a field that
has not grown sweet potatoes for at
least SIX years. Fields that are
known to be infected with the dis
eases are not safe places in which
to plant the crop for from four to
six years
After the roots have ben treated,
they may be cut In two lengthwise
and placed in the bed with the cut
side down in such a manner that
they are not touching. In filing up

or three inches of soil on the ma

The field service department, IN
der the direction Of Joseph Passon-

eases Of violation Of contract. and
u7l present the data to Aaron Sa-
pro, general counsel for the assoei-
alton
One Of the first prosecutions. Mr.
Sapiro said, VIII be that Of q prOmi-

tobacco In the name Of his WIFE
Other prosecutions are planned IN
other districts, where evidence Of

Under the provisions Of the con-
tracts, the grower gives to the assO-
citation the right TO get a decree OF
specific performance to force deliv-
cry of all tobacco unsold, to get
liquidated damages Of five cents per
pound on all tobacco sold and to get
Injunction against the buyer TO pre-
vent further purchases
The prosecutions a the ware
hOusemen viii be carried on prob
ably as criminal cases under the
provisions of the Bingham cooper
alive marketing law laying penalty
Of $500 on the warehouseman for
buying or permitting sale where
he had knowledge that the grower
was a member of the association
This provision is intended, ac-
eOrding to members Of the associa-
ton, to discourage the use Of vio-
lence In cases where angry neigh
bOrs might resort to it,as occurred
during the old pool
Mr.. Passonneau has had agents Of
the association at many of the
open sales floors to warn the ware
housemen if a member Of the asso-
citation should try to violate con-
tract. Most Of the housing men, he
said, had refused to buy or even al
low pooled tobacco on their floors,
but a few had gone about seeking
to make sales for members of the
association.
The activities of James G. Stone,
president, in aking sales, and of
Ralph NJ. Barker, director of ware
houses, in receiving and redrying
tobacco, were unanimously approx
ed by the board by a rising vote of
confidence.
Mr.. Stone made full report on
finances, sales and receipts of to-
bacco,
Gas representatives Of the grow
ers, we are proud of the things we
have DONE" one of the directors
said. eff it were not for the I'M
firing and skillful efforts of Mr..
Stone and Mr.. Barker, however, l
am afraid the record would not be
50 good. We are fortunate in hav-
ing obtained officers of such quail
ity."
Mr.. Stone produced official fig
ures to show the average sales so
far would be several cents higher
than the average paid TO growers
outside.
Mr.. Barker negotiated the formal
transfer Of leases on the warehouses
in the Eastern and Ohio districts,
totalling about 30, at meeting in
Maysville last week.
Between this date and June Is,
prices on the warehouses viii be ar
bitrated and the deeds made over to
