Duties of the Seniors

AS this is the last week in the SIX
weeks period, we have been prepar-

will be held in Redwood Falls April
26; and the musical contests for or
chestra, band, and glee clubs, which
will be held in Marshall next month.

been down to the State Tournament
to tell something of interest which
they saw or did down there. After

who did not go felt that we had been
sighted since we didn't have chance
to get in on some of these good times.

An unusual find was that of ring

Barley Scab Is
Cause Of Loss

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
"A clear complexion and no freckles"
on the face of a field plowed in the
fall is recommended for most farms.
This advice has become familiar in
areas where the European corn borer
has been working. 1t applies also to
areas in which corn and winter wheat
are important crops and In which bar
ley is crop grown either for sale or
for feeding. Barley scab has caused
serious losses in the central and east
ern sections of the country.
Lives over Winter.
The United States Department of
Agriculture investigators have found
that the fungus causing scab lives
over winter on bits of cornstalk or
straw. When these bits are covered
thoroughly by the plOwman the clean
plowed field does not have freckled
appearance. 1t has the uniform com
plexion indicative of clean culture.
which has proved so desirable In
checking the activity of barley scab
the following season. Investigators
found that on the average in num-
ber of barley fields in northern Illi-
nois the scab infection was more than
eight times as great in fields disked
or poorly pIowed as it was in barley
fields sown on fields plOwed clean in
the fall. Crop rotation is also help
full in controlling barley scab.
Feed II on Farm.
If harvested barley is seriously af-
fected by scab, it is more profitable to
feed it on the farm than to try to sell
it at the ruinous discount grain buy
ers must impose. Scabbed barley is
useless as hog feed. Hogs reject it, or,
if they eat it, they suffer from diges-
tive disturbances. Cattle and sheep,
however. will relish ration contain

nels and suffer no i'll effects.

Experiments Prove That
"Mulching" HELPS Crops

For many years Hawaiian sugar
planters made practice Of leaving
the crop refuse, such as leaves and
tops, between the rows Of growing
cane. This served the double pur-
pose of conserving the moisture in
the soil and keeping down the weed
growth. Later the experiment was
made of covering the ground be-
tween the rows with a cheap grade
of asphalt paper, and still later the
entire field was so covered when ir
was found that the stiff shoots of
the cane would penetrate the paper,
while weeds would not. These diff
fering processes are known as mulch
ing. The same thing is now done
with the pineapple crop. holes being
made in the paper so that the pine
apples can grow through. Expert
ments made in the United States in
mulching various vegetables are said
to have resulted in production in.
creases of from 30 to 500 or GOO per
cent. 1t is said that u days after
rain soil protected with paper
mulch will contain as much as 20
per cent more moisture than un-
mulched soil in the same vicinity.

Rat Lover Proves Nuisance

A woman's love for rats has led
to a certain quarter of London be-
ing so overrun with the pests that
official action is to be taken. This
female Pied Piper declares that rats
are charming creatures and she
places food in her garden for them
every morning and evening. Neigh
bors have protested so loudly that
efforts are to be made to capture
the rats by smoking them out.
There is nothing under the existing
law to prevent persons feeding any
kind of animals or vermin on their
own ground.

Duties of Hunting Dog

A dog should not be taught to
bring in the game to his master, says
an expert. The reason for this is
that when the dog points where the
hunter gets the game, it is extreme
ly annoying to have the dog dashing
back and forth looking for the game
and bringing it to the master. In
the case of birds, if the dog goes
after the first bird killed he will
usually frighten the rest of the
flock, giving the hunter poor
chance of bringing down a great
number.

Alfalfa Tillage Gives
40 Per Cent Increase

Tests at the North Dakota expert
ment station show that alfalfa cultiva-
ton, in that section at least, is highly
profitable. Two plots with a good
stand of alfalfa were selected, and
one was given two renovations, one an
early spring cultivation and another
cultivation just after the first cutting.
This gave a cultivation for each crop.
The first cutting on the cultivated
field showed an increase of 43 per cent
over the untitled plot, and the second
an increase of 43 per cent with a 40
per cent overage for the year.
Renovating with spring tooth har-
row, field cultivator, or other similar
tools is not an expensive operation and
is much worth while when such re-
turns can be realized.

Succession of Peas on
HEAVY Soil Is Proper

Planting a block of peas every week
or ten days is all right, but it has been
found that any more than about three
paintings will carry the maturing of
the crop to period when hot weather
almost invariably cuts the yield short
i'm fact, usually ruins it entirely.
This is particularly true on light soil.
If the soil is heavy. the number of
paintings may be extended well up
into the summer. AS rule, however,
best results are obtained with peas If
handled only while the ground is moist.
After that leave them entirely out of
the paintings till late in summer, when
some may be planted for fall bearing.

Ordinary Vegetables
Are Short Season Crops

Many of our common vegetables
mature i'm a very short time. These
occupy the ground for only a small
part of the season. Such vegetables
should be planted in one part of the
garden. If this system is followed.
these short season crops can be re-
placed after they have been used by
other crops. thus getting double use
out of the ground. If these quick ma
turing sorts are planted in various
parts of the garden. there will be no
block of ground in the garden where
a second crop can be planted.

CITES RADIO RIVALRY

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Nov Gan analysis
Of the status of radio as a compile
ment, or competitor of the newpa-
per has been written by Karl A.
Bickel, president of the United
Press, as one of the features of his
book, New Empires" published by
Lippincott.
Already we have discovered -
he declares in regard to advertis-
ting, that radio advertising. al.
though effective as a general intro
Queer and reminder, does not COM
pare with the newspaper as a
medium to excite immediate and
definite sales based on specific
price appeal. upon wlics most
newspaper advertising is based"
But when the radio goes out on
its own to cover news and report
it, he continues, then the radio
directly invades the newspaper
field and becomes competitive with
the newspaper.
And in that situation lies a germ
that easily can develop into a most
serious situation to both the radio
and newspaper industry unless
handled with unusual care, consid-
Grafton and forethought."
