IObred Wheat Is Again
Ready for Distribution

Iobred wheat Is again ready for dis
trlbution In lots OF suficient size to
seed one acre Ia comparison with some
homegrown variety. This wheat Is
being distributed by the Iowa Agricul-
tural Experiment association this year
Tor q charge Of $2.0O for TX bushels.
Reports received from number of
those receiving this wheat last fall In.
dictate that II came through the win
ter In tlne shape IN all parts OF the
state. Its record at the experiment
station during the past several years
would indicate that II Is an unusually
nardy strain as well rs good yielder.
lobred Is a variety which can quite
readily be distinguished from other
varieties as 1t has a very plump berry
and also very distinct br0nxe-col-
ored char which makes II rather dis
tinct from the average variety Of win
ter wheat.

ment association. Ames, Iowa, sending
$3.50 to cover cost OF seed before the

Improved Milk Shipping
Methods to Avoid Loss

To develop better methods for han
ding and shipping milk from the
farms to the city market IL the object
OF an investigation OF practices In va
rious milk plants. which Ia being made
by the dairy division Of the United
States Department OF Agriculture.
Milk losses during shipment have q
marked effect upon the price that the
consumer must pay for the product
and upon the price that the farmer
receives for the product. The losses
are Of two kinds; those resulting from
milk souring IN transit. and those
from theft. spollsge and leakage. Both
are believed to be avoldable II the
farmer, country dealer and city dealer
will work together.
Dealers are being asked TO give I'M
formation on various Subjects. such as
the methods used for transporting
milk from the farm 10 the dealer. the
protection provided for milk while In
transit between the dealer and the
city market. and the relative efficiency
OF different types Of refrigerator

Unproductive Idle Land
Made to Yield Profits

Idle land like idle labor il defri

crop OF timber on WORKOUT, sandy,
broken, or wet lands not needed for
agriculture7 This pertinent question
for farmers IL answered by w. r. Mat

United States Department OF Aericul-
ture, who reminds us that there are
several million acres OF such land
which should be producing timber be-
cause II Is the most profitable crop
that can be grown on such lands.
Timberland that has been cut
heavily and burned over usually has
so few seed-bearing trees that II does

Pines are easily propagated. and de-
nuded lands can be made TO grow a
fun crop OF pine with a little EFFORT.
Experiments show that slash pine seed
can be successfully sown on wet lands,
such as savannah or crawfish lands.
About two pounds OF seed per acre
should be used. sowines on land
with one years grass have given bet.

Plan to Protect
Trees From Mice
Hungry Rodents Liable to
Do Injury Any Time
After November /.

CPsepared b. the Dnitse States Dspartnnsn'
81 AgTicuitpre.l
The far-sIRnted Orchartifst will
make preparations to guard against
possible injury 10 his trees By hungry
field mice which gnaw the trunks and
roots Such injury Is liable TO occur
at any time after November !, an
though most OF II IL usually inflicted
in midwInter or very early In spring
under cover OF heavy snow and when
the more favored food supply h run
ming low. according to the biological
survey OF the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.
Msnaes Made Greater.
That serious injury to orchard
trees BY mice occurs only at irregu-
lar Intervals makes the menace the
greater, for II usually catches the
orchardist unprepared and wholly IN
aware Of the damage being done until
the melting snow in spring uncoyers
girdled trunks, or the willing trees In
midsummer befray the hidden work Of
the mice on the roots.
Preventive measures cost little In
comparison with the protection afford

tres may be saved BY timely bridge
grating. an ounce Of prevention is
worth a pound OF cure. Many progress

them or take steps to prevent their
attacks upon trees.
Method Of Prevention.
Methods Of preventing mouse injury /
vary according to the species Of mouse
and the cultural practices followed.
In much OF the eastern United States
pine mice are present, and their In
jury ls usually inflicted below the
surface OF the ground. II Is necessary
to destroy such mice unless they are
driven out by deep and clean cultivn-
ton Of the whole orchard. Where
meadow mice only are concerned. such
as mechanical protectors and
repellent washes are practicable, al
though the destruction OF the mice Is
preferable.

methods OF coping with field mice is

FARMER MUST KNOW

Professor Button points out that hav-
ing ciean. sterile utensils IL the most
important Of the 'BIg Four in clean
milk production. clean cows small
top pals. clean utensils. and prompt
cooling. Utensils may be clean so far
as the eye can discern. but unless
they are thoroughly sterilized they
may contribute enormous numbers Of
bacteria 10 the mix coming In con
tact with them.
Utensils should first be rlnsed In
water that ls clean and cold or luke
warm. This will remove any milk
that might otherwise be cooked to
the sides OF the utensils later when
hot water is used. They should then
be washed In hot water containing
an aIkali or washing powder. Scrub

get into the cracks and seams. Wash |
rags. soaps and greasy powders should |
not be used in the dairy. A inal rims |

WRESTLING BOUT ADDED FOR SHOW Tinklepaugh And Adol- phus Matched At Me-
 Ginty-Brown Go

One of the features of the sport show at the Birmingham Athletic club Mon day night when Johnny aMcGinty and Billy Brown clash will be ten-round wrestling setto which promises all the thrills in the deck. Tinklepaugh, featherweight winner of the recent Olympic trials in Birmingham, will be sent against Young Adolphus, runner up in the recent trials. These boys are amateurs, but they know all the holds in the deck and an abundance of action is promised when they get together on the, B. A. c. mat Monday night.
 Matchmaker Evans. in arranging his preliminary list, stated Tuesday after noon that he was not quite ready to announce his semi-windup card yet. but that one corking preliminary had all ready been signed. Tony Mareno will meet Kid Rich in four-round go.
 Johnny McGinty, the Erin Earth quake, is a favorite to take off first money Monday night when he clashes with Brown. Still, Brown was the boy who suggested that they battle on a winner take 60 per cent and loser take 40 per cent, and some few figure that Brown has something up his sleeve be- sides his elbow. McGinty continues his training at a swift pace and mixed it with heavyweight again Tuesday afternoon

INDIAN STAR IS

John Levi Will Enter De- cathlon And Hopes
 To Qualify

LAWRENCE; Kan, April s.--(By As sociated Press.)-John Levi. Haskell In- dian football star, picked as au-Ameri- can fullback on many selections last fall, will attempt to win a berth on the American Olympic team which will com pete in Paris next summer. The gigantic Arapaho brave, regarded the greatest Indian athlete since the days of Jim Thorpe. will enter the preliminary Olym- pic tryouts at the University of Kansas stadium here, May 30 and 31.
 Levi will enter the decathlon, instead of any single event. Coach Frank Mc- Donald believes his experience on the track and his strength will enable him to make a good showing in the events of the decathlon.
 The Indian has carried his 200 pounds of brawn over the 12o-yard high hurdles in 0:15 2-5; over the 220-yard low hur- dles in 0;25 2-5, and has high jumped feet. He has put the 16-pound shot 43 feet 71a inches, and thrown the discus 136 feet inches. He has scored firsts in intercollegiate in the javelin and Is a fairly fast quarter and half miller, all though he has never competed in these events. He has treated track competi- ton as an Pathetic sideline."
 Big lawn" will have his first taste of fast track competition in all-round events April 26, when he will participate in the pentathlon in the Penn relays.

 Another performer wearing Tiger uniform gave the fans n treat of super baseball. Rigney, flashy little short stop, on one occasion went directly be- hind second on smashing grounder to throw out. Caveney at first! It was doubly sensational play, for on his throw, which had to be fast, he was off balance slightly and the ball; hopped a little wide at first. The mighty, Blue made one of his prettiest stops to get the runner.
 pinelli, the Reds third lbAseman, played q fine brand of baseball with the exception of a low throw to first, which cost him an error.
 The Tigers touched up Jakie May for hits when they meant runs. while Whitehill pitched good ball when in the hole. Pillette, who went in for Whitehill, twirled good baseball.
 The Tigers and Reds left Birming- ham Tuesday night to continue, their tour which will consist of three more exhibitions together.
