The woman who drives her own

automobile manufacturers and

In commenting on these features,

men, appreciate the change from

The easier shifting with such a

the car OF today gears can be shifted
while negotiating a hill upward or

In the meantime the only way to

IL you ask me how to do this

Farm crops with the recent in

Retail clothing is 113 per cent above
farm crops. Labor in the metal
trades Is l1S per cent above, and in
the textile industry 10 per cent

timated from IS to "a per cent above.
Four fundamental factors must

2.-Plenty of sunlight. 2.-Dryness.
Freedom from drafts. 5.-Dura-
bility. 6.-Low cost.
While these are some of the main
points TO be considered in building
or remodeling poultry houses. there
are number of others that should
receive attcltion. Among other
things, the nests, roosts and equip
ment of the house should be so ar
ranged that all of the floor space
may be used for scratching.
Placing the house on good
foundation that is constructed to be
ra;-proof and free from moisture is
another important point. Solid con-
crete walls or posts can be used al
though wooden posts are used most
commonly. Solid concrete founda-
tons and floors are meeting with
increased favor among poultrymen
In building the walls, it is import
ant to remember that they should
be constructed to prevent drafts, re-
tain heat, prevent the condensation
Of moisture and have smooth sur
face that may be kept free of mites
and other vermin. The two most
popular styles of roof are the half
monitor and the shed-roof. The for
mer Is satisfactory when the house
is deeper tran l6 feet while the
chief advantages OF the latter are it's

Wheat Yields Are Boosted With
Care On -Four Points

Despite the fact that average
wheat yields in Kentucky during re-
cent years have been low, few
progressive farmers have demon
stratod that yields as high as 80 or
35 bushels an acre can be obtained.
Those who have obtained these prof
table yields usually are farmers who
give attention to about four main
factors, such as seed bed preparation,
fertilization, the use of good seed
and proper planting dates, soils and
crops specialists at the College of
Agriculture say.
Zone of the first things to which
the successful farmer gives attention
in making plans for his wheat crop
is the preparation of the seed bed.
Wheat demands SOL that is firm
and fine. A loose soil means almost
certain failure while clods contri-
butte toward reducing yields. In
case; where it is necessary to plow
land for wheat, this operation should
be performed in ample time to allow
for thorough preparation of the seed
bed.
The fertilizer most commonly
used for wheat in Kentucky is acid
phosphate, this material being APP
piled with limestone and sometimes
with Q light application of stable
manure. The best farmers use 200
pounds of acid phosphate an acre.
On poor soils, about 200 pounds Of
acid phosphate with a light applica-
tion of manure give good results.
When clover is seeded in the wheat, |
better results are obtained by using |
limestone with the ac'd phosphate !,
and manure.
Experience has shown that farm |
ers who get the highest yields in
their communities also give con-
siderable attention to their seed
wheat, using not only clean, plump |
seed but also variety that is adapt
ed to their soils. In view of the
fact that there is a wide difference in
the way different varieties yield UNI
der different conditions, it is import
ant to select suitable variety. |
Many farmers prefer bearded wheat
on thin, wet soils.
Probable injury from the Hes
sian fly makes it important that the
wheat is seeded after the recon- !
mended dates for various sections OF
the state. Wheat sown after Octo-
Der 5 in Eastern Kentucky, October
s to 10 in Central Kentucky and
October 10 to IA in Western Ken
lucky, is not apt to be damaged by
the fly.
