DESTROY LAS I YEARS PESTS
and Burn Them-Ashes Make
Good Fertilizer. NJ

In getting ready to make garden this
spring, it is an excellent plan to see
that all the, stalks Of last years vege-
tables which may have been left stand
Ing are removed and burned.
In the first place the ashes will make
good fertilizer as the stems of nearly
all vegetables contain excellent ferti-
lizing material in their ash, and an
even more important consideration is
that by removing and destroying them
the insect pests are likely to be
checked. 53i ,ass
Many insect pests find refuge under
boards, among the dried leaves OF
stalks over winter. Often the spores
Of fungus diseases which create havoc
are only waiting In these old stems'to
get into action with balmy weather.
BY burning the refuse q great quantity
Of them will be destroyed. 4. .7 ts.g

ALFALFA |! + II & TEA MOI. IN ; FAVOR.
Evidences Does Not Show Any Great
4 Advantage to BE Gained by

Alfalfa tea, made by pouring boil.
ing water on hay and allowing it to
steep for few hours, or by stirring
alfalfa meal into cool water and
straining theJ mixture after several,
hours, has been highly recommended
from time to time for feeding young
animals, but the evidence reviewed by
the United States Department Of Agri-.
culture does not show any great ad-
vantage to be gained !. through the use
Of this liquor. Some experiment sta
ttions have found that pigs made better
gains when cornmeal and middlings
were mixed with alfalfa tea rather
than water, but the additional gains
were hardly enough to pay for the In
creased expense. Calves fed alfalfa
tea made poor gains and suffered
much from scours. On the whole, the;
practice Of making this tea for. live
stock should be discouraged. says the

The Angora Goat, published by the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture, which contains detailed In
formation about these useful animals,
from brief history Of their develop
.ment down to management Of goat
ranches, the marketing of mohair, and
the treatment Of diseases.
Texas is the leading goat-raising
region Of the United States, having
more Angoras than all other states COM
bined, Conditions Of topography, al
titude, climate, and price of land have
all Joined to help make the ranches
successful. Open brush range, similar
to that in Texas. makes the remaining
part Of the Southwest second in Angora
ranging. Many fine orchards In the
Northwest stand on land that was
brushed of by the goats, and there Is.
much land; In that region that is adapt
ed for permanent goat ranging. The
Ozarks, In southern Missouri and.
northern Arkansas, contain many.
bands Of Angoras and will support
more on a permanent brush-utilizing
basis supplemented with winter feed
ing. Outside the areas where there is
typical goat range Angoras may be
used for brushed Tearing by handling,
them much as sheep are handled. j

LITTLE MARVEL IS SUPERIOR
Best Plan to Depend on Succession
Planting Week or Ten Days Apart
Rotation IL Also Of Much
Importance

The very finest quality peas at the
present. time are neither, strictly
speaking, dwarfs, nor are they tall.
They are intermediate and while they
may be grown as dwarfs and without
brushing, they bear better when given
the support Of low brush or a narrow
strip of chicken wire. These are the
Gradus and Laxton types Of pea,
which vary from 80 inches to almost
four feet, according to variety. All
do better with support, although COM
monty grown as dwarfs. They give a
heavier yield when held upright.
WrinkIed Type Superior.

kled type, which is much superior to
the earliest smooth-seeded type, Lit
tie Marvel still holds high place
among really dwarf. peas, the vines
being only about eighteen inches. It
natures in eight weeks and is very
hardy and of the finest quality. A
little earlier is Market Surprises
Alaska and Maud S., smooth-seeded
peas, still remain the earliest Of all,
Of good quality If taken very young,
but not equal to the wrinkled vari-
eties. which are not so hardy and can.
not be planted or cropped SO early.
It is possible with the variety of
peas now on the market to plan a
good succession planting, starting with
Alaska, Surprise, Little Marvel, Grad
us, Laxtonian and Thomas Laxton.
However, it is better to depend up
On a successional planting week or
ten days apart, as the season may be
such as to bring the cropping of diff
ferent peas too close together at ma
/ turity, If planted at the same time.
The planting Of peas in double rows,
six inches apart, these double rows to
be three feet apart, is about right for
the more dwarf varieties, but If the
more vigorous growing dwarfs are to
be planted they will need at least four
feet between the rows unless they are
given brush or wire.
The round seeded peas can 60 into
the ground as soon as 1t can be dug,
but it is best to wait a week or two
for the wrinkled varieties to be on
the safe side.
Rotation 10 Necessary.
The peas should not be planted this
year in the same position that they
occupied last year. Neither should

Similar tests made in the green
houses during the past year made pos
sible the location Of mixtures con-
taining stock beets Of red, or orange
colored varieties. It has been found
that white-feshed varieties Of stock
beets cannot be determined through
termination tests alone but must be
grown to a considerable size before
their distinguishing characteristics are
discernible. That the heavy losses ex-
perienced during the past two years
due to this cause constitute strong
argument for the development Of an
American-grown supply of sugar-beet
seed, sufficient for the needs Of our
beet industry, is the belief Of the
officials working on the problem. =

garden plan each year with an eye to
moving the peas and beans across the
garden, SO that they will not occupy

makes up for the exhausting Of the
