Fire Useful to Destroy
Weed and Insect Pests

To destroy weeds at this time is q
most effective way to prevent heavy
infestations next year, says Charles
F. Rogers, deputy Colorado state en-
tomologist for weed control.
Weeds that have been cut should be
partly dried before they are raked
into piles. Later when they are
burned, care should be taken that no
seeds or stems are left unconsumed.
There is another and less obvious
end to be served in burning weeds in
the fall. Many insects are harbored
over winter in the stems of weeds.
Where weeds are lacking in the late
summer or early fall, insects will not
be plentiful the next season in such
weed-free areas, because they lack
winter quarters and because many of
them will be killed when the plants
are burned.
Weeds in waste places and along
ditch banks are the most common
winter resorts" for insects. The use
of fire in these places is almost the
only way to control both weed and in
sect pests at once.

Build Up Bee Colonies
Before Winter Weather

The poor honey flow of the past
season will mean weak colonies If
the bees are not properly prepared
for winter weather.
Those young bees that will live
through the winter and make up the
colony next spring are being reared
before the first killing frost, states
G. L. Sans. beekeeping specialist at
the North Carolina State college. The
older bees will die during the cold
weather and will be Of little value to
the colony and so anything that inter,
feres with brood rearing during Oc-
iober will result in the colony being
in poor condition for winter.
"The successful beekeeper, there
fore, sees to it that each colony has
good, prolific queen" says Mr..
Sans. "a queen that has been reared
during the past season is preferable.
There should also be enough work.
er bees to care for four or five combs
of brood. Each colony needs to have
at least 20 pounds Of honey so that
brood rearing will not be restricted
for lack of stores and extra room
should be added for the storage of
nectar in those sections where there
is fall flow of honey. When these
conditions have been met, the bees
will see to it that enough young bees
are reared to winter the colonies"

Popularity Of
Legume Crops
Accounted for by Depth to
Which Roots Penetrate
Soil in Building.

Popularity of sweet clover and al
falfa for use as soil builders can be
accounted for by the depth to which
their roots penetrate the soil, says HI.
A. Lunt, of the soils and crops depart
ment, college of agriculture, Univer-
sity Of Illinois.
Measurements made on the Harts-
burg experiment field of the college
showed that the maximum depth of
roots of various legumes in the fall
following spring planting were: Com
mon sweet clover "a inches, alfalfa 80
inches, Grundy county sweet clover
% inches, red clover % inches, alsike
16 inches, dalea 10 inches, hubam 8
inches and Korean lespedeza s inches."
Two Other Requirements.
Vigorous growth and thorough in
Oculation with the proper bacteria
are two other requirements which,
along with deep root penetration,
must be met by legume that is to
be used for building up the soil, Lunt
pointed out. Responsibility for the
last point, that of incubation, rests up
on the farmer himself, rather than
upon the legume. The soils may or
may not be already inoculated. If not,
the farmer must supply the bacteria,
il the nitrogen fixing property of the
legume is to be utilized.
"A fegume that makes a vigorous
growth will add more easily decom-
possible material to the soil when it
is plowed under than will a legume
that makes small growth. The OBJ
iect is to incorporate into the soil as
much material as possible which will
decompose rapidly and leave in the
soil considerable humus containing
plant food elements for future crops.
Building Up Soil.
"FOr instance, a ton of legume hay.
such as clover or alfalfa, when added
to the soil is far more effective in
building up the nitrogen and organic
matter content Of the soil than is an
equal amount of straw or corn stalks.
This is true because: ely the legume
contains five to six times as much
nitrogen as does straw, and (2) there
is a smaller loss of organic matter
during the decomposition of the le-
gume than there is in the case of straw
or corn stalks.
Deep root penetration is essential
in order that the potential plant food
in the subsoil may be brought nearer
to the surface. Furthermore, deep
roots probably are factor in open
ing up the tighter subsoil, their roots
when decomposed making the soil
more porous and building up the or
ganic matter content of the SOIL"

Bright Green Alfalfa
Hay Is Equal to Meal

In an Ohio pig-feeding experiment,
bright green alfalfa hay fed in a. rack
proved fully equal to alfalfa meal in
rate and economy of grain. One lot
of 4O.5-pound pigs was fed corn, tank
age, salt, limestone, linseed meal. and
alfalfa meal. The pigs gained 1.21
pounds daily, consumed 1857 pounds
Of feed per hundred pounds of gain.
at cost of $5.S7. The pigs consumed
1875 pounds of alfalfa meal for each
100 pounds gain. Another lot of pigs had
the same feeds except that alfalfa hay
fed In racks was substituted for the
alfalfa meal. These pigs gained 1872
pounds daily, consumed 1862 pounds
of feed for each 100 pounds gain at a
cost Of $5.SS per hundred pounds. The
pigs consumed 27.4 pounds of alfalfa
hay for each hundred pounds gain.
The difference in the quantity of al
falfa consumed made only 1.8 pounds
difference in the amount of tankage
and linseed meal consumed.

Farm Machinery Outlay
Makes Care Important

The average farm carries an invest
ment of about $500 worth of nipple
ments and machinery. 1t has been
found by many farmers that there is
profit on time spent in caring for
machines representing so large an
outlay.
By this time OF year most of the
field implements have been put under
cover, if they are going to be housed
at all. Whatever remains outside con-
tributes to the enormous annual loss
of machinery due to water and rust.
Good care is the factor which lets
one farmer get twice as much use
from equipment as another does.
A few essentials in making machin-
cry last until it wears out return a
substantial profit to- the farmer. For
this reason the provident man keeps
his implements under a tight roof
when they are not in use. During the
winter all surfaces are protected with
Oil or paint and thus the machine is
kept ready for use next season.
Very often field implement needs
some repair or adjustment before 1T
will be ready for another season. One
of the most effective systems devised
for taking care of such Jobs is to tag
the part needing attention. Then,
during some slack period in winter,
the actual repairing is done. Tag
ging eliminates the need of remem-
bering jobs which so often ends in
their being forgotten.

Sweet Clover Pasture

During recent years in many parts
of Canada and the United States,
sweet clover is being recommended to
solve pasture difficulties. Undoubt-
eddy this crop has proven a boon on
many occasions and apparently has
many desirable qualities. There are
some serious drawbacks to its use,
chief Of which is its bitterness.
If stock can be induced to eat it be-
fore it becomes too coarse its album
dant growth provides large carrying
capacity.

Chicago Boosting of

When the embattled farmers of Mas

respect. They did the first piece of

criticism: It took too long for the mes

a desire on the part of merchants not
only to get current news from great
