Horse-Radish Thrives on
Soil of Medium Texture

Horse-radish, like other root crops,
will thrive on soil of medium tex
ture. Either loan or silly clay
loan containing a good supply of or
ganic matter and plant-food will give
good yields. On moist but not wet,
soil, the roots will develop to good
size and be of fine quality, while on a
dry location they will be small and
woody, and will lack to large degree
the characteristic sharpness. An ideal
soil Is one which is free from large
stones, which can be easily cultivated,
and which reaches to depth of 10 to
is inches, underlaid by clay subsoil.
These conditions make possible a
check In the growth Of the roots when
they reach the subsoil, while on light
er soils the roots often grow to depth
of four to FIVE feet, which is very I'M
desirable.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture,)
The commercial peach orchard Is
the latest crop to receive treatment by
the airplane busting method for con-
trolling insect pests. According to a
report received by the bureau Of en-
tomoiogy of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture from it's field sta
ton at Fort Valley, Ga, this process
was tried for the first time in March
Of this year. Airplane busting for cot
ton fields has been demonstrated
success, and the outcome of this type
of control for insects affecting peach
trees will be awaited with interest.

mixture of arsenate of lead and n.y.

troll work would be evenly distributed.
A thousand acres of peach trees in
Georgia will be treated by airplane

sion Of the Fort Valley laboratory. 1t
is expected that this work will yield
valuable data on the results, cost Of

reached the drawbridge, the Crockey-
joy told Purz just how to signal the
keeper so that the bridge would be
lowered for him. BY that time they
had to return, for 1t was very near the
supper hour.
They FASTENED out of the book just
as Ruth's mother called from the
dining-room for her to get ready for
supper. From now on, Purz can al
ways bring you to the castle which is
the front door of Crockeyland. I'll
expect to see you soon," and with
those words the Crockeyjoy climbed
back up the light cord and vanished
into the shadows.

visit the Land Of Crockey as soon as
ever she could. And she did. And
among her adventures there were some
very amazing things. which you shall

Activity in Live Stock
Improvement Operations

prepared by the United States Department
- of Agricultural
In q report on live stock improve
ment under the better-sires plan, just
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, California re-
ceives mention among the states no
ticeably active in such work. The
principal other states, mostly in the
central west and east, are: Kentucky,
Ohio. Nebraska, Vermont, South Caro-
lima, Oklahoma, New York and Penn
sylvania.
Live stock owners who place their
breeding operations on basis which
includes the exclusive use of pure
bred sires receive a suitable sign for
their premises and helpful literature
on animal breeding.
During the early part of the year
live stock owners in the following
California counties qualified for par
ticipation in the work: Los Angeles,
Orange, Sonoma and Ventura.
The activity of the Golden State In
this means Of live stock Improvement
is due chiefly to the interest and en-
ergy of county extension agents in the
counties mentioned. The work is of
an educational nature and involves no
expense aside from that incident to
the purchase or use of pure bred sires,
which the department urges in the in
terest of improved domestic live stock.
Experience shows that good breeding
results in numerous benefits and
greatly increased financial returns.

The Transformation of Purz

The Transformation or Furz
n nth had been doing some sewing
N for her new doll The twilight
had crept into the room unnoticed by
her, till now It was almost dark. She
had q feeling, somehow, that she
wasn't alone. It frightened her little,
and SO she snapped the button which
turned on the electric lights AS the
lights flashed, she thought she heard
an exclamation Of surprise from some
one.
Sure enough, a moment later she
saw her friend, the kindly old Crock
eyjoy, come sliding down the wire OF
the table lamp. Hand over hand he
came. very much like the trapeze men
in the circus. 1t was only moment
till he stood on the table facing Ruth.
He blew on his hands to warm them,
for it was chilly in the room. Each
time he pulled, he swelled up his
cheeks, and his long gray beard
waggled to and fro in very ludicrous
way. Ruth could scarcely keep from
laughing outright at him.
'It is too cold here for us to be COM
Portable" he said after a time. II

and see me and my people whenever
you vast to. How would you like
that7" he added
'It is the very thing for which I've
been wishing" replied Ruth. "But
how can you manage it?''
The kindly old Crockeyjoy pushed
his sugar-loaf hat to one side and
scratched his head In a thoughtful
way. He whistled bit Of dance tune
and walked back and forth on the
table top. Then he slapped his hand
on his knee and gave long, good
natured chuckle.
'sThe cat with jeweled eyes will be
the very one to do it. Bring dim here
to me-" And Ruth went at once across
the room and brought back to the
table the little silver cat with jewels
for eyes which one of her friends had
given her as birthday present. Then
the odd fellow rubbed 1t in certain
way, directly back of the left eye and
in front of the left ear; and, would
you believe 1t, that silver cat just be-
gan to purr, and to arch up his back,
and act like he had always been alive.
''Now get that old picture album,
the one with the painting of the old
castle on the back side of it, and Wen
make road for you to use whenever
you WILL" said the Crockeyjoy So
Ruth picked up the book from the
corner and brought 1t also to the table
top. At word from the odd fellow,
she opened the book. In the back of
1t was a picture which she had never
noticed before. A great, dun-eolored
tower was shown All of the windows
were heavily barred, but there seemed
to be dim, friendly sort of light

No Protection for Farmer

1t was found in a recent survey of
dairy plants that many are making
no effort to protect the farmer. Part
Of the infection of tuberculosis in hogs
is caused by feeding skim milk, but
termilk or whey from dairy plants
that do not pasteurize. Most of the
hogs going TO central markets from
Wisconsin are raised in the southern
half Of the state, in counties that have
not been area tested.
