Length of Time Seeds
Retain Their Vitality

The length of time seeds retain their
vitality varies according 10 storage
conditions, temperature, moisture, de-
gree of maturity when harvested, and
manner Of curing. The terminating
power Of most seeds deteriorates after
the first or second year, being greatest
after three years. Hard-coated seeds,
such as clover and alfalfa, usually re-
tain their vitality longer than soft
coated seeds. The average life for a
few crops is as follows: Alfalfa. six
years alsike clover, two years; barley,
six months; corn. two years; clover
fred). three years; oats, s.X months !:
cucumber, ten years; wheat, six

Control of Corn Rot Is
Aided by Crop Rotation

Good seed, good soil and careful
culture are required to meet the prob
lem of corn rot" thinks Nj. L. Myers,
who has been making a careful inves-
tgation Of the cornrot situation in
Ohio.
Root rot and ear rot are caused by
different organisms, he finds. The
rot that attacks the roots comes from
spore that stays in the field from
year to year. 1t winters over in stalks
and other crop debris left in the fields,
particularly fields that are low in fer
tilty Rotation of crops, thorough
tillage and fertilizer are the most i'm
portant weapons with which TO fight
this disease, Myers finds.
Ear rots, indicated by molds and
discolOrationS ranging from pink
through white gray or brown at har-
vest time, are caused by spores car
lied i'm the wind Careful seed selec-
tion and termination tests are the
main line of defense against this dis

Reduce Damage by Weeds
bv Clean Farm Methods

Weeds will probably always be with
us. BY the use of good farming
methods their damage can, however,
be held at low figure Clean seed
should be the first consideration. 1t
may be bought from Il reliable farm
er or seed firm and the state expert
ment station will test ii free Of charge
for weed seed. If homegrown seeC.
is used, and you know certain weeds
went to seed in the field, then good
tanning mill will remove the weed
seeds.
After clean seed comes crop rotation.
While certain weeds thrive in wheat
or oats, they are easily destroyed by
clear cultivation as practiced in the
cornfield. Other weeds that persist III
corn can be smothered by heavy crops
of grain or sorghum. 1t is by study
ing weeds and knowing why they are
weeds that we can discover their weak
spots and destroy them.

Success With Clover
Depends on Factors
Make Simple Test to Deter
mine Needs of Soil.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture)
successful stand of red clover de-
pends on number of factors, the alb
sence of any one of which may seri-
ously AFFECT the crop. A simple test 10
determine the needs of the soil on the
faym or in the field where IL is desired
TO grow clover may be made by setting
aside small plat Of ground in the
field for experimental purposes and
trying different treatments Of the soil
Us regards lime, fertilizers, etc.
An arrangement of a series of eight
plats for such test is suggested by
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculturc. The strip of land TO be used
for the test should be as near repre-
sentative of the field as is possible 10
determine from superficial observation.
Divide il into eight plats of equal size.
Leave the first plat untrcated for n
check on the treated plats. ON the
second spread lime alone, on the third
lime and phosphate, on the fourth
lime and manure, on the fifth manure
alone. on the sixth manure and phOs-
phate, on the seventh phosphate alone
and leave the eighth untreated for an
other check.
BY this arrangement all the lime and
all of the manure can be applied TO the
experimental plat in one continuous
area. The phosphate alone must be
applied TO separate areas, and phos-
phate is the easiest to apply. A ton
of ground limestone and go To 800
pounds of 1G per cent acid phosphate
per acre is suggested unless tho land
is known 10 be very poor in lime, when
two tons OF ground limestone may be
applied. In this outline no potash has
been suggested. Potash plats can be
inserted if desired, but over most Of
the clover area scarcity of phosphate
is much more common than scarcity of
potash, and by following the outline
suggested here the farmer is likely to
find which fertilizer is best to use
This outline illustrates the principle
of definite experimentation and can be
varied TO suit the kind of information
wanted.

T STREET OPENING
0. KID BY CITY HEADS
Plan to Provide New Artery in
Northwest Section Approved
at Hearing.
WILL FACILITATE TRAFFIC
Measure Now Up to Federal High
way Commission.

Plans for the establishment of
now traffic artery in the northwest
section by opening 7 street from 35th
street to Rock Creek drive were
launched by the District Commission
crs at a public hearing at the Dis
trict building today.
No objection to the project was
voiced at the hearing. and the city
heads gave 1t their approval. 1t VIII
now go to the Federal Highway Com
mission for Endorsement.
Mai. Raymond A. Wheeler, assist
ant engineer commissioner, explained
at the hearing that this scheme Will
provide a new and more direct route
from the suburbs of the northwest to
the heart of the city and will serve to
relieve traffic congestion on . street
and other east-and-west thorough
fares from Georgetown.
Proposed Width Cut.
AS the highway plan now stands 1t
calls for the opening of I street to
width of 120 feet between Rock Creek
drive and Wisconsin avenue. The
first thing the Commissioners did at
the hearing was to propose reducing
this width to ninety feet, Tor seVerai
reasons, the more important or Whlch
is that part of the land needed al
of ninety feet. There is believed TO
be more chance of putting the project
through on a ninetyfoot basis
The second question taken up was
the extension of the street on the
highway plan from Wisconsin ave-
nue. to 35th street.
When the Federal Highway Com
mission passes on the plans the Com
missioners then will direct the cor
poration counsel to institute con-
demnation proceedings.
Grade Desirable.
"A study of the map will show the
grade desirable to open street,
said Maj. Wheeler. "The Q street
bridge is the principal traffic route
now to the city.
at is hoped that by the opening of
# street all the traffic coming down
Wisconsin avenue, which switches down
Y and streets, would take advan-
tage of this connection on to Massa-
chusetts avenue and thence down tt
the city. The part of T street at the
east end, adjoining Lovers lane, goes
into Rock Creek drive. which Is
part of the park drive within the
condemnation lines of the park"
The proposed new street would af-
ford access to the suburb of Burleitf
and the growing community west

Children Here.

Final action on the proposed new
Juvenile Court law and the bill to

mission on public welfare legislation.
This was decided upon at meeting
Of the commission yesterday
Before adjourning for the summer
the commission passed , resolutions
thanking William Hodson of the Rus
sell Sage Foundation for the expert
advice and assistance he has rem
dered in Washington and requesting
that he be allowed to come here again
in the fall to aid the commission in
completing its revision of local well
fare laws.
The commission also expressed its
appreciation to Mrs. Thomas r. Walsh
for contributing to the efficiency of
it's work.
Commission Worked Hard.
This commission, headed by Justice
Frederick l.. Siddons of the District
Supreme Court, was appointed by the
District Commissioners to go over
and revise all existing laws affecting
public welfare work. During the win
ter the commission Iabored inten-
svely.
1t succeeded in drafting Il bill or the
consolidation of the work of the
board of charities, the board. of chill
drens guardians and the trustees of
the National Training School for Girls
in a new agency to be known as the
board of public welfare. This meas
ure has been introduced in Congress,
and has the support of more than a
score of the leading organizations of
