Questions Pertaining To
Agriculture and Home

Should lawns be seeded In the
fall?
The best time for seeding lawns
depends on the kind of grass used,
the soil and climate. Probably the
best time in b, Minnesota is from
April to the middle of May, and
again in latebsummer provided the
seed is sowni by the first week of
September. Fall seeding Is better
in that the grass grows well and
the weeds do not. However, a lawn
seeded in late fall Is likely to be-
come rough and full of pockets,
owing to weather conditions at
this time. Grass seed planted after
September 1 may not get a good
start before cold weather sets in
and may be winter killed.. e.

How can I make a soft water fill

tastes and odors out of the water?
Cistern water will not acquire a

sand-charcoal filter can be made
into the cistern proper. Such a
sand-charcoal filte rcan be made
by putting coarse gravel in the
bottom Of a barrel, covering this
with finer gravel, and that with a
layer Of sand. Then put above the
sand foot or two of cracked char
coal, putting over this some coarse
gravel, and then above this some
finer gravel. This will build up a
bar SO that the rain water from
the spouts will run through the

Farm Conference Attracts
Statewide Attention
Governor Benson Tells Farmers
That Conference Is
"Theirs"

Farmers and leaders Of Minneso-
ia farm organizations will gather
in the Chambers Of the House of
Representatives, Monday, Oct. 4th,
to formulate an adequate state and
national farm program. The pro-
gram may be submitted to the u.
s. Senate Conference on farm
problems to be held in st. Paul lat
er in October.
The Minnesota Farm Conference
was called by Governor Benson,
partially as result of what he
termed, exaggerated and vicious
reports being printed by the big
daily press about the so-called
prosperity of the Minnesota farm
er, which has resulted in continued
discrimination against him."
Invitations are extended to Of
ficers Of all farm organizations in
Minnesota, and this week Governor
Benson asked the Commissioner of
Agriculture to extend a blanket in
vitation to all farmers who wished
to participate in drafting an ade-
quate farm program. In an inter-
view with the press, the Governor
stated:
"This conference will be theirs
(the farmers.) The program that
comes forth from the meeting will
be their program, and both Com
missioner Ommodt and myself, will
DO everything within the power of
this administration to help the far
mer put over that program"
Governor Benson will speak at
the conference Monday morning at
10 o'clock. At the same time that
he meets with farmers from all
over Minnesota, special train will
be speeding toward st. Paul, bear
ing the President Of the United
States. According to an Associated
Press dispatch, President Roose-
welt will make short talk in st.
Paul on the evening of the Mime
sofa Farm Conference.
The Conference was originally
scheduled to take place in the
State office auditorium, but due to
the vast amount Of interest that
has been displayed by hundreds Of
people throughout the state, the
place Of the conference has been
changed to the chamber Of the
House of Representatives in the
State Capitol where larger crowd
can be accommodated.

not seem unreasonable, for In those
three states out Of a total Of 1S7 900
steel workers, 117.000 own cars.
Conceding that this ratio will hold
good for the remainder Of the en-
ployes In steel in this country, there
are 100000 who drive their own
cars.
This Is certainly fine for the au-
tomobile manufacturers Of the
country, for this is a potential res
ervoir, where they can dispose Of
their products, which would be diff
ficult to equal in any foreign mar
ket.
Steel workers are also not sup
posed to be the best paid and the
most prosperous class Of employees
in the country, therefore 1t can be
assumed this average will apply to
almost any other group Of skilled
employees.
The great middle class Of citizens
Of this nation Is the reservoir,
which must consume the greater
percentage, not only Of manufac-
tured products, but all other pro-
ducts as well. There is no other
group sufficiently large to make
dent in the grand total, as far as
consumption is concerned.
Therefore, 1t Is well for those,
who sit in high places in Washing
ton and the various state capitols,
to enact laws, which will preserve
the purchasing power Of this great
middle class Of citizens.
If this is curtailed the high STAN
dard Of living in America will be
reduced and the whole agricultural.
industrial, commercial and social
balance will be thrown out Of gear.

EDITORIAL
COMMENT
From Our Exchanges

State of Minnesota wants to cut
the cost of its law-making body 1t
should first of all cut its size. A
body of legislators as large as Min
nesota's Is unwieldy, is a time
waster and tends to produce poor
laws. Minnesota's legislature Is con-
siderably larger than the average
state law making body. It's size
should be reduced in the interest
of both economy and efficiency.

Tax Reform Comes Slowly
The question Of taxation Is too
complex for one to expect sweep
ing changes to be made quickly.
Perhaps it is just as well that the
changes come slowly and that the
cumbersome tax machinery res
ponds rather better to moderate
changes from time to time than
from drastic revolutionary adjust
ments. If a legislature were dis
posed to appoint a competent in
term commission to make thor
ough study Of the question, and
then act on its findings, better
system might result than comes
from reform born in the heat OF
legislative chaos. But that seems TO
be too much to expect.-Northfield

With all the cultural require
mentS necessary to produce a
marketable crop of apples there
comes along the spray residue
problem. Spray residue refers to
the arsenical lead spray material
remaining on, the fruit at and af-
ter harvest time. The problem in
connection with this residue is the
necessity of removing the spray
material TO the point where the
arSenical and lead content of the
spray residue conforms with the
regulations of the Federal Food
and Drug act. In order to meet
the requirements of this act which
relates to Interstate movements
of fruit it becomes necessary to
reduce the arSenical content to
DOL grain per pound of fruit and
lead content to 0.01S grain per
pound. This means that if the fed
eral Inspector finds the spray res
idue on the fruit exceeds the
above amount, the residue must
be removed by washing or wiping
the fruit before it can be shipped
out of the state. The North Caro-
lima Department of Agriculture
by action of the State Board OF
Agriculture has issued a state
ment that this residue regulation
will apply to fruit moved to mar.

NOT PREPARED TO WASH
The majority OF our apple
growers in Western North Caro-
lima, at the present time. are not
to wash their fruit. In
order to avoid the possibility OF
having an excess of residue at
harvest, the grower should strive
to apply thorough poison spray

Outlines Corn Projects
Activities
By D. w. BENNETT
Assistant County Agent

This is one of the busiest sea-
sons of the year for project work
in our All clubs. All All boys
who are having corn, truck or
some other crop project should
select their land and prepare it
at once if they have not already
done so. Those having corn for
their project should select fertile,
well-drained land. On hill land a
4-10-4 fertilizer. should be used
at the rate of 300-400 lbs. per
acre. When the corn is about
high, it should be side-dress-
ed with 100 lbs. of natrate of
soda. If bottom land is selected,
the amount Of a 3-l0-6 fertilizer
should be used.
A complete record of all eX-
penses, labor. and receipts is re-
quired of all All club members
on their project work. Unless a
project is carried with a complete
record as given above, a member
will not be allowed to attend the
Al club camp at Swannanoa,
June 2l-26.
Big club boys who have a pig
or brood SOW for their project
should use self-feeders since they
require much less labor and the
pig is allowed to balance his own
ration.
All All club members desiring
information in regard to their
project work should call by the
county agents office.
