Difficulty in Getting
a Stand of Red Clover

The increased difficulty in getting a
stand of red clover, experienced in
late years by growers in many Sec
lions of the country, is largely due
to improper soil conditions, disease.
nonadapted seed, wrong methods Of
seeding, or to the use of harmful
nurse crops, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Improper
soil conditions result from constant
cultivation and the consequent loss
of lime, phosphates, potash and or
ganic matter, making the soil insult
ed to the growth of clover.
Such conditions can be remedied by
applying the elements lacking and by
working In manure and other forms of
organic matter.
When clover failure is caused by
disease, a disease-resistant variety
should be used If available, or some
other legume substituted for red clo-
yer. If red clover fails on land well
supplied with lime, sweet clover can
often be used instead.

Dccdpitation Adds
to Insects LiUes

At a recent session of the Academy
of Science Professor Bowler read q
curious paper written by r. P. Cam
bouet, noted entomologist and for
many years missionary in Madagas-
car. The purport Of the paper was to
the effect that the lives of butterflies
could be prolonged by cutting their
heads off in such way as to avoid a
hemorrhage-an operation which, 1t
would appear, can be performed by an
expert.
Cambouet declares that he has
tried the experiment successfully with
eighty butterflies and that his patients
IF that is the word-not only re-
tanned "all their faculties and were
able to reproduce their species, but the
average span of their lives in every
case was prolonged by from one to
two weeks

Scientists Now
Read Corn Plant
Secret Code Solved in Which
Food Wants Are Very
Plainly Written.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuiture.)
The corn plant writes an order for
food when there is shortage in the
soil, and 1t writes in colors. G. n.
Hoffer, pathologist of the United
States Department Of Agriculture, CO.
operating with the Purdue agricul-
tural experiment station, has solved
the secret code in which the food
wants are written. His method can
be used in the field and requires but
few minutes.
Test Late In Season.
The test Is made during the latter
part of the growing season, after the
ears are well developed. A stalk is
cut and split open lengthwise. A So
luton Of sulphuric acid containing
few drops of what the chemists call
"diphenylamine" is applied to the cut
surface of the stalk. If the plant has
had sufficient nitrogen the tissues will
turn blue. If the plant has been
starved for this food the tissues will
be of yellow-green color.
A lack Of potassium in the soil may
be detected by examining the tissues
at the nodes or joints of the stalk. If
the tissues turn red when solution
Of potassium thiocyanate is applied,
the soil needs potassium. The amount
Of red color indicates the relative
amount available.
Mnnd IS Dk@~nhaA~a
In soils found to be acid in reaction,
understood or stunted plants indicate
the need Of phosphates, providing eli
matte conditions were normal during
the season. On such soils both lime
and phosphates can be probably
used.
Using these means Of determining
the needs of the corn plant, field
survey was conducted in several
states Of the corn belt last fall. Ac-
cording to the results many fields in
southern Illinois, Indiana and Ohio,
do not carry adequate supplies of
available potassium for corn. Fields
differed markedly In their relative
supplies of nutrients, and in many
cases the effects Of growing corn con-
tinuously was shown by deficiency
of either nitrates or potassium.
The fact that the specific needs of
the corn plant can be detected in this
manner, says Mr.. Hoffer, should make
the method of great practical value.

Location for Trees

Trees are preferably located to one
side of the house rather than directly
in front of it. Groups Of shrubs are
placed about the foundation Of the
house and around the border Of the
lawn area. Lower shrubs are used
about the house and taller ones In the
border groups. Sod should not be al
lowed to encroach upon the shrub
areas. The perennial beds and shrub
berry groups should be cultivated three
or four times during the season.

The bureau Of standards says there
are two methods by which sound
waves may be neutralized. namely, by
interference two waves are combined
In such way as to produce silence
1t is necessary in doing this to have
both sources of sound coupled in some
way, This method, however, could not
be used to neutralize sound the
source of which is not under control.
The other method Of neutralizing
sound waves, by absorption, is simply
a question Of interposing suitable
screens of mountaineering material.
Hair felt is the best sound deadener
so far discovered.

Best Care Of Chicks

Don't allow the chicks to be out in
the direct, hot rays of the sun all day.
II they have no natural shade, provide
some; it will pay well. Don't allow
those chicks to brood In dirty quar-
tiers. Clean the coops often and at
least once week give them a good
spraying with some good insecticide.
1t is much easier to keep the lice and
mites down than to get rid of them,
once they get start. Don't neglect
giving chicks some good. succulent
green feed every day.
