But when carelessly done washing may be the means of spread- ing storage rots, according to the Unit- xd States Department of Agriculture, Washing Proves Value. For the past two years the washing treatment has been used commercially and has proved its value, says D. F.

(Prepared Ly the United States Department of Agriculture.) One of the new ideas In fruit grow. ing Is that of having nursery grown uccording to specification, It Is true thut orchardists now specify the particular varieties they want, but other than that they know very little about the stock they plant, Closer co-operation between fruit growers and nurserymen would make it possible for the growers to get stock from bigh-producing strains and at the same time would allow the nur. seryman to know in advance what stock will be wanted. Such an arrangement would be highly advantageous t¢ the nursery- man since a large amount of nursery stock Is annually consigned 10 the trash plle for (he simple reason that it ie Impossible to predict the demand for all types of stock. If growers placed thelr orders far enough In ad. vance so the purseryman could grow the desired stock for delivery two or three years later it would sale of the lot and tention to it. This suggestion comes from Dr. L. C. Corbett of the United States De- partment of Agriculture, Doctor Cor- bett says that such a plan would be beneficial to the grower because it would eliminate much cf the guessing now prevalent In the nursery busi. ness, With the knowledge that all of stock Justify special at- tions, the nurseryman more time to producing product, could devote a high quality Mower Is Continuously Operated at High Speed One of the f: must nuo speed and und the mower, able mowing co under constant called upon to from cutting heavy cleaning along n irm machines which usly at high jer adverse condition the fons, contl operate i% is most favors the 1s der ' ndit do a variety weeds out ditch, it Is b ighly important Checking the cutter bar, seeing are centered and giving careful often help to lig the alignment of that properi y on atiention to the knives the guards cation hten its draft and to done A type of n oped improve the quality of work woower has been de operated at eit} at high whers tl going Is the hay Is light This 2speed mower same principle as the It can tor po which can be of two speeds, hay low hard, RI «1 when the cutting easy. operates on the an automobile, transmission or be operated with either trac wer or horse power, Continuous Corn Land the Results from farm land are ure on by how 3 HOTS mainly increases In crop i ever, ig not the derived, A good Hiustratio is from the Morrow sol at the Ti nos exper A compar in con : ison is made of land int has been corn since 1870 celving manure, the oth manure, Aside from Increased in favor of the manure, the most strik ing condition of the fall plowed, the tinuous er receivi yield comparison was of the physical soil land that had no ma following spring, 14 days earlier.
