CIRCLES HELP FARM INCOME
Home Demonstration Workers
Are Aiding Farmers.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Home demonstration workers realize
that before substantial improvements
can be made in rural home life there
must be more cash income with which
to install conveniences, correct defects,
beautify the surroundings, or improve
clothing. On most farms the prOduc-
ton and selling of eggs and poultry
offer the best immediate possibilities
for increasing the income. The home
demonstration agents of the United
States Department Of Agriculture and
the state agricultural colleges, there
fore have turned their attention to
giving help in this field whenever there
seemed to be need Of it.
The poultry project at Orchard Gar
dens community, Dakota County,
Mimi, is an excellent example of the
way in which home demonstration
work thus meets a real want. TIE
home demonstration agent helped TO
interest people in poultry raising as a
source Of income, which would mean
income during the winter as well as
during the summer.
The poultry project was started by
the poultry specialist During the
project the members formed poultry
association. The first work of the as
sociation was to pool their orders for
feed thus saving considerable sum.
The second step Of the association was
to organize an egg circle to make plans
Tor the marketing Of the eggs. The egg
circle was formed and bylaws adopted
making provision for a guaranty that

DESTROY LAST YEARS PESTS
and Burn Them-Ashes Make
Good Fertilizer.

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.
Many insect pests find refuge under
boards, among the dried leaves or
stalks over winter. Often the spores
of fungus diseases which create ha voc
are only waiting in these old stems to
get into action with balmy weather.
BY burning the refuse a great quantity
of them will be destroyed.

ing. When any of these samples are
found to contain stock beet seed, the
senders will be notified before plant
ing time.
Similar tests made in the green
houses during the past year made pos
sible the location of mixtures con-
tanning 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.

PEAS WIN FAVOR

When Given Support of Low

LITTLE MARVEL IS SUPERIOR
Best Plan to Depend on Succession
Planting a Week or Ten Days Apart
Rotation Is 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 30 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.

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.
1t 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 a 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 go into
the ground as soon as 1t can be dug,
but itNiS best to wait a week or two
for the wrinkled varieties to be on
the safe side.
Rotation Is Necessary.
The peas should not be planted this
year in the same position. that they
occupied last year. Neither should

SAN JOSE SCALE INCREASING
Applied If Orchard Trees

During the last two or three years
good many people in the North with
home orchards have believed that the
San Jose scale was becoming extinct.
As a matter Of fact the sleet which
persisted so long on the trees the win
ter of four years ago suffocated the
scale just as does the lime-sulphur
spray when applied. After that win
ter, many old trees revived and have
grown well since then. Now the scale
is catching up again and, unless we
have another such sleet, llme-sulphur

If the trees are to be saved. A still

previous season by beans for best re-
suits. A gardener should study his
garden plan each year with an eye to
moving the peas and beans across the
garden, so that they will not occupy
the same space in succeeding years.
OF course, heavy fertilizing partly
makes up for the exhausting of the
soil, but it cannot wholly do so. These
two vegetables take more out Of the
Soil than the Others and 1t is more
necessary to see that they rotate.

LICE ARE QUITE INJURIOUS
Parasites Have Been Known to De-

Period of Time.

Experienced turkey breeders agree
that lice are the most dangerous to
adult turkeys during the fall and win
ter. They have been known to de-
stroy dozens of birds in a few weeks.
The usual reason given is that the
turkeys are unable to find dust baths
at this season with which to fight the
pest in their own way, and consequent
ly, the lice get an unusual foothold.
