BUCKWHEAT FINE FOR POOR SOILS Profitable Yield May Be Secured Where Wheat, or Even Rye, Cannot Be Grown, EXCELLENT AS COVER CROP San Be Grown on Land Where 8pring- Bown Crops, Buch as Corn, Have Falled to Make a Stand— Many Other Uses. (Prepared by the United Btates Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Buckwheat is In general the best grain crop for poor, thin land. Its nat- ural and favorite environment 1s “back In the hills.” On land where wHKeat Or even rye cannot be grown with profit buckwheat is often able to produce a profitable yield. The climatic condi- tions, however, must be favorable, On acid solls, which are quite com. mon In the northern states, buckwheat does well. It does not require large svpplles of lime In the soll, although Hiroe is taken up largely by the plant, Good Bummer Cover Crop. Low-grade fertilizers may be used to advantage in the growing of buck- wheat, as it can make use of relatively insoluble materials to better advan- tage than the other grain crops, It may be used to render avallable In- soluble phosphates, like rock phos- phate, as these are taken up by the plant in larger quantities than by other small grains. To obtain the greatest benefit from such applications to follow crops, the buckwheat should be grown as a ‘summer cover crop to be plowed under as green manure In preparation for fall seeding. Buckwheat serves to make even very hard land mellow and friable. Conse- quently it is a good crop to use In preparation for such crops as potatoes, As it has a short growing period, buckwheat can be grown on land where spring-sown crops, such as corn, have failed to make a stand. It can also be used where the land cannot be worked untill late, or where other crops have been drowned out by late spring floods, Enlarge Farm Activities. Buckwheat can be used to enlarge farm activities. After other crops that must be sown early are all ia there is often time to prepare land and sow buckwheat. On account of the short growing season It may be sown later than any other grain crop. Where it 1s so used it often may be advisable to sow it even on rich land which other wise could be used more profitably for other crops. Buckwheat is a suitable crop for growing on new ground. Land Just cleared of timber or dralned marsh land containing much decaying vege table matter will produce good yields of ‘this grain.

SCRAPER FOR LOADING SOIL Platform Arranged as Shown in Ilius tration Obviates Much Tire. some Labor, Where dirt is to be taken out of an excavation and hauled away some dis- tance, getting this dirt Into a wagon bed 1s always a hard Job. Where a Loading Soil Made Easy, scraper is used it is usually necessary to drag the dirt out of the hole and then shovel it Into a farm wagon, By bullding a platform like the one shown here It 1s easy to load a wagon with a scraper and save a lot of hard work, The platform must be strong enough to stand up under the load of dirt and the extra pull that comes when the team drags the Scraper up the in- cline. The check block stops the Scraper and helps In dumping it into the wagon box, PURE AIR QUITE NECESSARY Drafts Should Be Carefully Avoided and Poultry House Kept at Even Temperature, Flithy air is practically breathing poison.

Specialists Believe There Is Fertile Fleld for Formation of Similar Clubs Throughout Country Overhead Cost Saved. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) One of the most unique and success ful community breeders’ associations of the country is located in Loudoun county, Va. It is unusual because In- stead of fostering the breeding and improvement of a single class of live stock, it sponsors the lmprovement of elght breeds and classes of live stock. The excellence of such a plan is that duplication in work and extra expense are eliminated, while the soclety 1s really standardizing the production of purebred live stock within Loudoun county.

CREOSOTE FOR FENCE POSTS Best Preservative Treatment Consists of Boiling Wood In Liquid for Short Period. Five cents’ worth of creosote ap- plied to a fence post will prolong its life many years. Posts that will last ordinarily but four or five years In the ground can be made to last 20 by treat. ing. Woods like beech, birch, maple, ush, poplar and others that are not ordi narily used for fence posts, can be made as durable as locust or cedar by A preservative treatment with creosote. This treatment does not consist simply in painting the post with creosote of in dipping it In creosote. While thesa treatments do some good, they do not insure deep penetration of the creosote into the wood or the filling of the cracks and season checks. The best preservative treatment con- sists In beating the posts in bolling hot creosote for 30 to 60 minutes, then leaving them In the tark until the liquid has cooled. The creosote will be forced deeply Into the wood and thus fill all checks and cracks and form an exterior shell of treated wood that will prevent rotting. An old, dis- carded gasoline drum with the top cut out, set up so that a fire may be bulit beneath, makes an excellent treating tank at little expense, USE SIRES OF GOOD QUALITY Recipients of Department of Agricul. ture Emblems Represent Scat tered Sections, Widely scattered sections of the country are represented in the list of the first recipients of the official em. blem bestowed upon live stock owners by the United States department of agriculture In connection with the “Better Sires—Better Stock” campaign now in progress.
