COUNTY AGENTS COLUMN
]. H. CARTER,
Resident County Agent,

Important to Sow Adapted Seed
No doubt, in the past large part
of the failure with alfalfa was due tc
the planting of unadapted seed. Il
unadapted seed is planted, the CROP
may do very we'll the first year, but
disappear the second year, and some
other cause given for its failure. Some
crops may last even longer, but most
disappear after the first winter.
In the past it was very difficult tc
secure the strain of seed wanted from
the region desired. No doubt much
of the seed ordered as adapted was
either all unadapted or mixed with
unadapted, and high percentage Of
failures was the result.
Now, however, with several new
laws in operation farmer may make
sure of getting the kind of alfalfa
seed he orders, for ~ all imported
seed are stained, (2) seed certifcation
is practiced, (3) the seed growers, the
seed dealers and the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture cooperating, veri-
fly the source of certain lots of alfalfa
seed and such seed is now on the mar
ket.>
What Alfalfa Seed Maryland Farm
ers Should Avoid
(1) Avoid seed from the South
west, Arizona, New Mexico and Cali
fornia. Seed from that region will
not give thriving crop under Mary
land conditions.
(2) Avoid all imported alfalfa seed
except Ontario Variegated. 1t is now
easy to tell if any lot of seed is i'm
ported or has imported seed mixed
with it, for all imported alfalfa seed
must now be stained before it can en-
ter United States trade channels.
a. If grown in regions that produce
seed not adapted anywhere in the
United States about 1 percent of it
must be stained red.
b. If from regions that produce
seed that may be adapted to some
regions in the U. S., some of the seed
is dyed green.
c. If from regions that produce seed
that may be adapted to some region
in the U. S., but the facts are not
yet fully determined, some of the
seed are stained orange red.
d. If from Canada, some of the seed
are dyed violet.
Of all these imported seed, the last
named is the only one adapted to
Maryland conditions. Any lot of al
falfa seed with red, orange red or
green stained seed in it, should be
avoided for all or part of the seed
would almost be sure to be unadapted
and a failure to get satisfactory
alfalfa field would be almost sure to
follow.

RADIO ADVERTISING

Do you own a radio? Are you OPP
Grating it now? To what station is it
tuned? What product is being ad-
vertised?
Let enough people answer these
questions and the real value of radio
as an advertising medium will be as
certained. Exactly 27,919 American
citizens were asked those four ques-
lions during the past few months. The
survey, sponsored by the Bureau of
Advertising, American Newspaper
Publishers Association, covered the
entire country. The questions were
asked by telephone between 500 and
$3.50 p. m. (best radio time) when
weather conditions insured good re-
ception.
Editor and Publisher, newspaper
magazine, reports the results: Of 100
homes called, 81 have radio sets. Of
the 81 with radio sets in the homes, Al
had someone at home on typical ev-
ening. Of the Al radio owners who
are at home, "a have their sets turned
on during the best hours of the typ
ical evening. Of the "a listeners, 10
make up the largest audience reached
by any one station in each vicinity. Of
the "a listeners, eight know that the
program is supposed to advertise.
These eight must be divided among
the stations heard, leaving possibly
three or four out of hundred families
as defective circulation" for a single
program.
This information should and will be
passed on to all important national
advertisers. 1t effectively refutes the
absurd claim that radio advertising
is the best and most effective kind.
1t will strengthen the newspapers
claim to superiority in the entire field
of advertising.

of March 81 of heart disease at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. John Swauger,

whom he resided for the past five
years. He came to the United States

geer, who resides in Somerset, Pa.

MRS. SADIE WILEs sMOUsE


Mrs. Sadie Wiles Smouse, aged
Sc years, wife of w. H. Smouse, of
Oakland, died suddenly at $3.50 O'Clock
Sunday morning at her home on Cen
ter street, following heart attack.
The deceased was a native of Pres
ton county, West Va, being a daugh-
ter of the late Abraham Wiles, who
is remembered by many of the older
residents of Oakland. She is survived
by her husband and two sons, Hervey
Smouse and Ralph Smouse, both of
Oakland, and by two brothers, Ray
mond and Charles M. Wiles, Of Terra
Alta, West Va, and half-brother,
H. w. Porter, who resides in the State
of Washington. She was united in
marriage to William Henry Smouse
April IA, 1896, Funeral services were
held at the family home here Tues
day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, being
conducted by the Rev. Charles A.
Shilke, pastor of st. Marks Lutheran
church, of which Mrs. Smouse was a
consistent member and regular at
tendant at all the services until pre-
vented by failing health. She had
been a sufferer for long time as
the result of successive attacks of
asthma. Interment was made in Oak
land cemetery.
The following poem, read at the
service by Rev. Shilke, is dedicated
by her family to the departed:
We Watched Her
We watched her breathing through
the night,
Her breathing soft and low,
AS in her breast the waves of life
Kept heaving to and fro.
So silently we seemed to speak,
So slowly move about,
AS we had lent her half our powers
To exc her living out.
Our very hopes belied our fears,
Our fears our hopes belied-
We thought her dying when she slept,
And sleeping when she died.
For when the morn came dim and sad,
And chill with early showers,
Her quiet eyelide closed-she had
Another morn than ours.

Are Not In Sympathy With Move
ment To Establish POstOffice In the

Town of Loeb Lynn Heights.
To the Editor of The Republican.
We should like very much to offer a
correction relative to an item pub
lished in your current issue under the
Mountain Lake news, implying that
we are in favor of a petition being
circulated in Loeb Lynn in an effort
to have the Postoffice Department es-
tablish an office within the town OF
Loeb Lynn Heights.
Our views are to the contrary, and
we will indeed be grateful if you can
spare space enough in your next issue
to inform your readers of this correc-
ton. Respectfully yours,

Quality Siding Must
Be Demanded in HOUSE

The quality of siding is determined
by a number Of things. Well-maoe
bevel siding is thick. The wider the
board the greater its thickness. For
a board more than six inches wide
one-inch material is resawed. A board
twelve inches wide should be cuI
from one and one-eighth material
Thinner boards are sometimes subsn'
tuted from an erroneous idea OF say
ing expense. The additional Thickness
costs very little. The additional our
ability is considerable. The speeches
tions should state the thickness q
well as the width of the siding.
The quality of siding also depenos
upon the grade of the wood, the num-
Der and extent of defects it contains,
Thus If there are a large number o.
knots the siding is Of lower grace
When cheaper, knotty siding is useu
special care must be taken with tns
painting. A statement about the graus
of the wood to be furnished Is tner
fore another clause for the specimen
lions.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1932-12-29
Fresh Air Essential

Fresh air Is very essential for
the laying stock. Houses should
not be built to admit the fresh air
through cracks, causing draughts.
Arrange the ventilators so that the
air can be changed In the house at
will. One of the best ways of ac-
complishing this is to have the win
dows so arranged that they can be.
opened every day. In the winter
an hour or less would probably be
sufficient, but it Is essential, even in
cold weather, to allow the house to
be purified by ventilation. For this
purpose many persons are using
burlap screens, which give good sat
fsfactfon. Some breeders advocate
the open scratching shed, where
nothing but screen wire is between
the outside air and the fowl as they
are exercising during the day. Ven
tflation shafts have not given the
best satisfaction.

Molasses Not Shown to
Be of Especial Value

Molasses added at the rate of one
half and one pound daily per steer
calf increased feed consumption and
gains in test recently completed
at the Ohio experiment station.
Twenty head of steer calves were
used in each lot, and all We're fed
for a period of 40 weeks.
They were then appraised by rep
resentatives of four markets, and
their returns were computed on the
basis of the average of these APP
praisals.
The lots receiving the molasses
consumed more corn than the check
lot. They also gained more rapidly.
Lot 2 outgained lot ! about 45
pounds per steer, although the men
