Scattering manure early in the year

Considerable Suicide

An unusual method of committing
suicide was used by a man at Buryos.
Spain. He attached stone to long
copper wire and went out to find a
high tension supply cable. He then
wound the other end of the wire round
his arm and threw the stone over the
cable. He was found dead from
electrocution with note pinned to
his hat warning others that they
risked death II they touched him be-
fore the csirrent was cut on.

Registered Seed
Controls Pests
Carelessly Selected Seed
Often Produces Unprofit-
able Crops.

II registered seed had no other val
ae than to stop the spread Of noxious
weed seeds, all the money and effort
ever expended to develop pure seed
would be justified, declares T. G..
Stewart, extension agronomist at the
Colorado Agricultural college.
Probably more weed seeds are
spread through crop seeds than in any
other way" Mr.. Stewart says. reg.
stored seeds Of the standard Colorado
varieties can readily be obtained by
any farmer. Such seed, when planted,
produces good yields Of high quality
crops. Carelessly selected seed often
produces mixed crop.that is unprofit-
able for both the grower and the buy
er. Mixed wheat, for instance, is
severely penalized, especially when
.ed and white wheats are mixed.
Mixture Of Grain Types.
"A mixture Of different types Of
grain not only brings lower price on
The market, but prevents harvesting
1t the right time because Of the diff
,erent ripening periods"
More farmers every year are appre-
stating the Importance of selecting and
planting clean seed, whether their
crop is to be sold as seed or sold on
The market for commercial use. The
variety or type Of seed selected and
planted depends upon the market de-
hands as well as its adaptability to a
| ocality.
Rotation Of crops as well as clean
| seed is a big factor in keeping field
clear, of noxious weeds and in prevent
ng grain mixtures. Registered seed
planted on clean field will produce
good seed for the next year and, with
correct rotation. the crop will produce
good seed for at least four years. It
IS advisable to purchase new seed at

weed seeds appear In the homegrown

Matter Of Remodelins

Louise Bargelt, home builder editor
Of the Chicago Tribune, predicts 1880
will be the greatest rehabilitation year
in the history of the country. I'VE
see remodeling made simpler and
more profitable for the home owner
every passing season; that is. remod-
cling when a house has successfully
passed two tests. For usually home
must be adjudged structurally sound
il it is worthy of being remodeled, and
also not require more than one-third
of it's interior to be torn out. There
are exceptions to this general rule. as
to most rules. but, on the whole, it is
fairly safe one to go by. Indeed, in
most remodeling campaigns, as little
as possible is torn out of the old place
but much is added to 1t instead"

Remodeling Offers No
Problem to the Wise

Many old houses over the country.
built long simple lines and kept in
good condition. are excellent for re-
modelling. There is hardly city or
town where there are not fine old
places waiting for some architect with
taste to make them into modern at
tractive homes.
The owner is most fortunate who
recognizes the right kind of old house
before he buys it for alteration pur-
poses and who knows what to do with
it after he has bought it. There are
two important factors in remodeling.
First, to get house with possibilities:
second, to rearrange the exterior and
interior with the necessary plumbing,
heating and lighting in an effective
way without excessive cost or unnec-
essary tearing down or destroying.
These results are not hard to &C.
complish after little study and every
owner who contemplates remodeling
should give consideration to the prob
lem before he buys place. not after.

Paint az Protection

Moisture, the root of all trouble with
lumber and metals. is the enemy of
every property owner. In sections of
the country where the temperature
varies with the seasons. excess moist
ure in the air is inevitable. For this
reason, building materials must he
protected from the weathering il
causes, and paint. in this connection
is the ideal preservative. 1t seals the
pores of the wood and forms pro-
tective coating over metals, thus pre-
venting the entrance of moisture, and
the progress of weathering and rust
ing. Used on concrete and stucco.
paint prevents surface cracks. damp
ness. and subsequent crumbling and
taking off.

"Blighted" Areas Due to
Imperfect City Plannins

The causes and cure Of "blighted"
urban areas were reviewed at the To-
ronto meeting of the National Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards by Har-
land Bartholomew of st. Louis, noted
city planning engineer.
He said the symptoms of such a
condition are frequent vacancies in
property and a general appearance Of
decay. with little prospect of re-
newed market for the district. The
cause he attributed to uncontrolled
large scale growth. Skillful city plan
ming, he said, is both the cure and the
prevention.
Much is said and written today
upon the subject of decentralization
of Cities" Mr.. Bartholomew said.
"As the access to the downtown dis
tricts becomes increasingly difficult,
new growth will undoubtedly take
place in outlying areas, but before we
advocate and encourage too extensive
decentralization Of our cities we need
to know very much more about them.
Our blight districts are largely the
result of opening up new areas of un-
limited size"
