that the corn was all taken by the

It would seem that on areas

the only alternative for the far

FoUR-ACT TRAGEDY

CARELESS people dispose of
~ their garbage improperly. Ex-
posed garbage breeds flies and
bacteria. Flies carry the bacteria
into the house. Disease results.
This four-act tragedy is partic-
ularly noticeable during the sum-
mer months, when the hot rays of
the sun hasten decomposition and
favor the rapid multiplication of
bacterial matter. The warning Civ
en- last week by DR.. L. G. Spauld-
ing about keeping our back yards
orderly should not go UNDECIDED.
Not only are you endangering
the health of your household, but
that of all neighboring ones, for
flies recognize no property bound
aries.
Refuse from the table should be
kept in tightly-covered receptables,
inaccessible to flies and marauding
cats and dogs. Rubbish other than
food should be burned or put into
a rubbish box until it can be car
ried away. Do not leave it strewn
around the yard. If nothing else, it
gives slatternly, down-at-the-
heel appearance to your home.
Both self-respect and health de-

scorrIsH FARMERS KNOW
GOOD PASTURE PRACTICE

Tho most successful dairymen
.re first of all good farmers, ac-
cording to o. E. Reed, Chief of the
Bureau of Dairy Industry, United
states Department of Agriculture.
They appreciate the Importance of
raising large part of the feed for
their cows. In this connection, he
says the American dairyman might
profit from the experience of the
Scottish dairy farmer by giving
more attention to the management
of his pasture land.
During visit to Scotland last
summer Mr.. Reed had an oppor-
tunity to study the pasturing meth
DDS in use there. On several farms,
as well as at the agricultural ex-
pertinent stations, rotation and
fertilization system Of handling of
pastures was followed. At the Kill
maruck Dairy School, IS cows were
pastured on AZ acres Of grassland
divided into z fields of 6 acres
each. The 65 cows were turned on
one field and allowed to remain for
four days. Then they were turned
on the next field four days and so
on until they had spent four days
on each of the z pastures. Every
% days they completed the rota-
ton system. As soon as the cows
were taken from each pasture it
was narrowed with a spring-tooth
harrow to scatter the droppings.
Then it was given an application of
commercial fertilizer. By this sys-
tenn of rotation the production of
milk amounted to 5000 pounds per
acre as compared with the average
production of 1000 pounds per
acre under the ordinary method.
The rotation system made it pos
sible to turn the cows on pasture
earlier in the season and keep them
on later than usual. The plan also
provided a richer food, since the
short grass contains high percent
of protein more nearly comparable
to the grain concentrates. The pas
ture furnished the entire ration for
all cows except those that pro-
duced as much as so pounds per
day.
Pasture experiments similar to
the Scottish system are now under
way at the Bureau of Dairy Indus
try experiment farm at Beltsville,
Md. The results Of these trials,
when available, will give informa-
ton as to the possibility of this
system under our own conditions.

THE PROFIT OF LEISURE

:
A MERICANS are losing the art
of profitable idleness. We have
become too prone, in our adherence
to "go-getter" doctrines, to consid-
er any time not given over to maxi
ing the dollars roll in as wasted.
Actually, that time which we
have free from bread-winning is
the most valuable. "Man does not
live by bread alone" An hour or
two a day given over to good read
ing, to getting acquainted with
your family, or just letting your
thoughts roll by will take you far
Their in the long run.
You can tackle your work with
greater enthusiasm and a fresh
perspective after a period OF we'll
directed recreation. But more than
that, you develop that part of your
personality which is the one that
counts in the long run. 1t is the
art, the literature and the philos-
ophy of a civilization that survives,
not its money or its business meth
DDS. And the art, literature and
philosophy are the product of men
who knew how to use their leisure
time. Do you?

PREPARE FOR FAIR
EXHIBITS NOW!

Too often, the preparation of fail
exhibits is left until the last thing
In this way, many people come tc
fair time regretting that they have
not prepared exhibits when crops
were in season. We are suggesting
that growers of grain and forage
crops make a special attempt to
get material for exhibits of these
crops at this time or whenever they
are in good condition to make nice
exhibits. The grain crops should
be cut just little ahead of the
time when they should be cut fol-
threshing and hung in well ven
tilated, but darkened room with the
head down. After a day or two,
the leaves should be stripped from
the straw and then the material re-
bundled and again hung in a dark
room until the time it is to be per-
manently bundled for exhibition.
The county agent would be glad to
assist community organizations,
such as Oranges, at meeting held
for the purpose of preparation OF
exhibits of this kind. The grain ex-
hibits listed in the premium list
calls for sheaf as well as grain and
both types of exhibits improve the
exhibit very materially. We hope
that many farmers who have grain
crops will exhibit these this year.
In the preparation of forage
crop exhibits, such as alfalfa or
grasses, these should be cut, bum
died with loose tie until they are
fairly dry then hung in darken-
d room with the butts of the stems
up. It is well to t lie two or three
loose ties about the bundle every
six or eight inches as the bundle
will keep its shape much better If

WIRE WORM CONTROL

Judging from the number of
complaints that are coming to the
office of the county agent in re-
gard to wire worms, the wire
worm is a much more serious pro-
blem this year than it has been for
several years. This is undoubtedly
partly due to the cool season which
we have been having. Wire worms
under normal seasons here, work
down into the soil as the hot
weather approaches and because
of the lack Of the usual hot wealth
er this year, they seem to have re-
manned nearer the surface. Several
farmers have reported their failure
to secure stands of corn this year.
The wire worm is one of the ma
jor insect pests Of the general
crops enterprises. Due to the fact
that it has become so important,
Mr.. Lane of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture was de-
tailed to do special work on the
control of the wire worm several
years ago. Much has been found
out in regard to its life history,
but no practical cheap method of
control for the insect has yet been
worked out which can be applied to
soils already infested. Mr.. Lane
was one Of the speakers at the hor-
ticultural school held during the
winter of 1928. Mr.. Lane re-
ported at that time that they were
able to secure good control by the
use of carbon bisulphide and fair
control by the use of calcium cyan
ide, but that both Of these treat
ments were too expensive to use
except to be used for highly spec
ialized crops. At that time, Mr..
Lane recommended following def
mite rotation with alfalfa in five
or six years and growing field

Washington Farm Situation
CONTINUED from last weekly
Wheat

WuGdI e. ~
The sharp downward trend Of
world wheat markets during re-
cent months was caused mainly by
exporting countries making vigor-
GUS efforts to dispose of their
large offerings before new crop
winter wheat came onto the mar
ket. The world wheat crop of 1928
exclusive of Russia and China, was
the largest on record. The world
disappearance or consumption was
also greater than any other year
for which data is available. Never
theless, world stocks of wheat on
hand, according to the latest esti-
mates totaled 100000, 900 bushels
more than the 1927 crop at the
same time a year ago.
1t is likely that the wheat mar
ket will fluctuate rapidly during
the balance of the summer due to
current reports of wheat growing
conditions in the wheat belt. Ac-
cording to the June 1 estimate, the
winter wheat crop of the United
States was 1916 per cent normal,
with an estimated production of
80 millions of bushels above the
,five-year average. 1t has been es-
timated that the yield of winter
wheat in Washington will be %,
663, 900 bushels, which is about
2 million bushels under the five
year average crop and about 13
million bushels under last years
crop. The condition of Washing
toms spring wheat crop on June !
was az per cent as compared to 81
per cent for the ten years average,
There are some hopeful indicat-
ors on hand for wheat growers.
June rains have improved the out
look for grains In Washington. 1t
is unlikely that weather conditions
throughout the world will be so
favorable to high yields as in 1928,
Low wheat prices have stimulated
consumption, especially in Eastern
