 How To Do It
 Many questions are reaching Tine Age-Herald that are not possible to handle in the columns Of a news paper, because the subjects of such a nature that intricate detail is necessary in order to be understood, and any answer to be serviceable would involve too much space to make comprehensive.

 If you want to build silo, hog house. poultry house, potato storage house, fly trap, fireless cooker. etc.. write to the division of publications. United States Department of Agricul- ture, Washington. D. c. There are more than 500 different bulletins con cerning this and other related sub- jects that are free for tho asking
 We are prepared to answer prompt ly an matters concerning seeds, plants, fertilizing and the countless diseases and insects that are so im- portant to know about. You not only help yourself by your questions, but you may be real benefactor to some one else who has the same problems to solve.

 A-The Mayflower. known also as early wonder.
 Q.--Are velvet beans ever sown broadcast for hay or pasture2 H. T., Nauvoo.
 A.-Yes, but the hay is difficult to harvest if allowed to mature. in fact there is always much difficulty in saving for hay, but the quality justifies the expense. Velvet beans make an excellent fall and winter pasture under any method of planting and while frost kills the plant, 1t still remains valuable, affording desirable pasture all winter,

 Q.-My Japanese quinces arc GOV cred with scale. Can anything be done now? B. F.
 A.-This must be San Jose scale and any treatment to be effective should be applied when the plants are dormant. Lime and sulphur treat ment is the remedy, but the plant would not now bear a solution strong enough to kill the scale. Begin next December

Fertilizers VI. Bugs
 Fertilizer helps to beat the boil weevil. The United States govern ment has proven this and under their slogan: If you are going to fight the boil weevil for the cotton crop, have a crop worth fighting for" might just as well be applied to the truck farmer or small home gardener.
 1t is just plain common sense to see that intensive methods of culti- vation and fertilizing will produce the most healthy, vigorous growth and make plants to better resist the attack of various insects and diseases.
 This is better understood when you apply the same principal to animals and humans. There Is no purpose to advise the relaxation of persistent and rational use of all available in- sect remedies, but to point out the necessity of healthy, rapid growth of all plants. as one of the chief factors in disease and insect control. Any successful gardener, who is willing to give away his secret in producing such fine and abundant vegetables. will always tell you that fertilizers and elbow grease are his main de- pendents. He may not always know 1t, but he has certainly told you of
