There has been a great deal of
interest in the making of these
forms, the fact that they can be
made cheaply and are a perfect mo-
del Of woman's figure enabling her
to easily fit her own clothes has
made them very popular. We have
already had orders for materials to
build fifty of these forms and the
work was introduced by the Farm
Bureau only a few weeks ago. Ev-
cry. woman is invited to attend this
demonstration.
Orchard Work
The pruning demonstrations and
discussion of spraying orchards has
been carried into almost every town
ship in the county. The meetings
have been we'll attended and good
interest shown. If there are COM
munities which we have not reached,
we will be glad to take the worG to
any community where there is call
for it. Again we say we are in the
county to serve the agricultural in
terests. We want everyone to feel
free to call on us for assistance.
Hubam Clover Experiment
The much talked of Hubam clover
will soon be put to the crucial test.
Crop and Soil Experts, County
Agents, farmers have all talked of
the wonderful possibilities of HUI
BAN, the annual white sweet clover.
1t has been known to make wonder
full growths in a comparative short
time and produced wonderful
amount of forage and green manure
after the oats crop has been taken
off. Results of experiments at the
Iowa Experiment Station indicate
that in Iowa Hubam clover will be
the best green manure crop to seed
with small grain in the spring and
pillow down in the fall Of the same
year.
The Hubam experiment is offered
to those co-operatOrs only who agree
to seed it in comparison with other
clOvers for pasture or to pillow under
next fall as a green manure. Two
pounds Of Hubam, or enough to seed
about one fifth acre, will be supplied
by the association to those desiring
to test this new clover fir green
manure or forage purposes. Postal
order or check for $1.00 must be en-
closed with application to cover cost
of seed and postage. Seed will be
sent postpaid.
We would like at leastlO cO-Opena-
tors from each county. Won't you
please help us? These tests will help
create more interest in clovers gen
orally.
The Rat Eradication Campaign
County Agents of Iowa are again
cooperating with the DeS MolneS
Register in the rat killing campaign
It has been stated that rats in Iowa
destroy enough property annually to
pav the entire taxes Of the state

speciaI effort to destroy the pest
All reports of kills must be made
through the County Agents office

prizes to the persons making th'
largest kills. Raise up that ole

Soy Bean Winning Its Way
It has only been a few years since
the soy bean was practically un'
known in Iowa, but those who kno"
# best think most of it. If furnishes
the protein necessary to properly
balance feeding rations and is mucf
cheaper than commercial supplement
tai feeds. They are valuable plante'
in corn for silage or for hoggin@
down.
The soy bean is a legume an,
helms to store nitrogen in the soil
