How to Apply 1t.

The popular notion that 1t is not
a good practice TO manure dark
cOlored soils is false; 1t is good
practice, although relatively light
doses suffice.
Although most soils profit from
generous manuring, light doses ex-

Frequent small doses are more eff

This plan, says the bulletin, avoids

Even muck soils, which consist
largely of vegetable substances,
benefit from manuring. because such
soils are lacking in mineral nutri-

contained in manure.

BUILDING REVIVAL is ON WAY

Factors aside from these actual

years will call for a considerable
volume of products to bring the
buildings of this country back to
proper condition.
2. Available federal funds prom

3. The people know that from an
economic point OF view now when

Acoma Indians accepted superb

In planting trees and shrubs tamp
soil about the roots to prevent the
formation of soil pocket.
Mulch strawberries after the
ground is frozen and use mulch that
is free from weed seeds.
Avoid close. late pasturing on the
alfalfa. 1t should have from six TO
ten inches of growth for winter pro.
lection.
The difference between good and
bad seed potato storage may be
as much as 80 bushels to the acre
in yield
The best stage of oats for curing
as hay is to wait until the earliest
or top kernels of oats are showing
signs of ripening.
Drain the water out of all parts
Of the sprayer and oil the working
parts well before storing the ma
chine for the winter.
1t is reported that there is
lighter infestation of Japanese
beetle this year in localities that
have previously been heavily in
