FARMERS BY T. M The editors cf both county papers' have kindly granted us space in their papers for agricultural items of in terest to appear once a week. This is certainly a great kindness on their & part and is one that is much appre ciated by the agricultural committee and especially by the county agent. It is our purpose to publish in this column interesting and outstanding i results of farmers along special lines and also to give out timely informa tion on different phases of agrieul tural work. We trust that we shall have the hearty cooperation of the; "i I farmers in making this column what j it should be?a veritable bureau of; information. Therefore I ar.i goin2.| to ask any farmer who has acconv ; flnvt.hincr reallv worth while' to tell us about it so thai we may tell others. In this way we shall all be benefitted. Alfalfa I have received Yeports frcm the following farmers of the county on yields of alfalfa for the season of 1922, viz.: Ernest Shealy, Berley Bedenbaugh, B. C. Banks, Holland Ru , Claude Lester, George A. Ep tihg, Edgar Long, and D. B. Sease. AH report a yield of three .of four tons of fine hay per acre?worth at least $75.00 per acre. It cost $30.00 | to $35.00 per acre to seed this alfal-j fa last fall. One seeding should lastj 4 to 5 years. Does this crop pay?. George Epting says that it has solved, TM-iTli-nn* r?T-r\M om frvr hlTM. U1C J.UUUC1 yuilillg Claude Lester says it was about the only crop that he had left after the hail struck his section this summer. Many more farmers should put in some alfalfa this fsll. Practically ev ery farm in the county has land that will grow alfalfa successfully. Land should be prepared as soon as we get rains. Seed should be sown by the middle of October.

These pests are hauled to the crib from th^ field. Weevils may be controlled by fumi gating with carbon bisalphiile. This liquid, as well a~ the g;s, Is easily set on fire and then explodes violently. For this reason it should be handled even more cautiously chan ^a>uline. Fire, in any form, :>.cvH not be al lowed about the building while- furni gating. Lofts should not be fumigat-; ed when livestock is kept underneath, j ' Directions for Fumigating Clean old bins thoroughly. Make^ the bins or cribs tight. Select a time; when the temperaure of the air is not; below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Use J carbon bisulphide at the rate of 7 lbs to 100 bushels of grain or one lb. to j is /-.n -ff n-f ennfp occuoied bv t?e grain as follows: Level the cornj at the surface and at points 3 feet; apart each way pull out ears to make holes. Into these holes pour carbon bisulphide in equsl amounts. Place, the ears back in the holes and spread i cloths over the entire bulk of corn so as to make it as tight as possible, j Close the crib tight and leave it clos ed for about 48' hours. After that time and the crib has been cp?ned and aired there Ms no further danger of fire.. Fumigation does not injure1 the grain in any way. Small amounts of grain may be fumigated by placing it in barrels' and using about 1-4 lb. of the medi cine per barrel, covering the barrel tight. liry of m*ny telephone I do to help my serv ; is published. im- \W I :o call from memory; to trust to luck that play a trick on you, ; in a telephone num to consult the Tele >re calling and makfe it number. s annoyance to your onsyou might Have' ' It helps fiuilct up a ice for yourself an3 ; useless calls whicH ELEPHCNE COMPANY MADE BUSINESS OF' SURDtS \Vii?i2m Byrke, Infarr.cros !ri:;hrrar>, Also Instrumental in Add.r.3 Significant Verb to Language.

WHERE GREAT EXPLORER LIES Sotfth Georgia Island, Tomb of Shackieton, Lonely Spot in the Great Antarctic Region. An interesting picture of life in South Georgia island, the "Gateway n* tha Antow>Hr>" whpre Shackieton was burled, was given by an explorer who made a research expedition there a few years ago. At that time there was only one woman on the island, and she was the domestic in the house hold of Capt. C. A. Larsen. a former Antarctic explorer who had settled down as head of a Norwegian whaling station on the island. "Below my soli tary tent," the correspondent writes, "the grassy bank sloped sharply to a milk-colored glacial stream entering an inlet of the sea only 50 yards away. A quarter of a mile across the inlet stood the perpendicular front of a beautiful valley glacier, coming down between peaked hills from the lifeless, silent interior. Penguins bobbed i out of the sea below the glacier and were my most interesting callers, for their curiosity could not resist a human be ing. Se^ elephants crawled uncon cernedly up the stream below me and went to sleep among the huramucks on the beach. Above the tent, on the i plateau of the little promontory, seven I pairs- of albatrosses carried on their courtship and nesting, along with I giant petrels, skuas, kelp gulls and the pretty little antarctic titlarks, the only land bird of the Far South, whose cheerful song was almosl the sole homelike sound." I Details Needed. ! ' A woman, blessed with a masterful j disposition and considerable property, died, leaving behind her a will in which her husband was cut ofi; with a dollar, on the ground that he had I deserted her a year before. j The lawyer finally located the man and broke the news gently by telling | liim that he had received only a small j bequest. I "How much?" carelessly asked the i man. [ "One dollar.'' I With the same carelessness, the man ; turned toward the door. Just as he ! -""'.v.Afi hnwovor m sudden thought | icatu^u ib| MWf v? v*i ?. w I struck him. I "Say," he called back anxiously. "Did she specify what I was to do wijth this dollar?" Sarcasm From the Grave. . The will of Alexander Louis Teix eira de Mattos, the English transla tor of Fabre, Maeterlinck, Couperus, Zola and many other continental writers, contains one bequest that will interest a good many booklovers who have loaned their favorite volumes not wisely but too well?at any rate, too generously, says the Living Age. The estate of Mr. de Mattas was not large, its gross value amounting to less than ?3,000 ($15,000), and many of his bequests take the form of books. He leaves books to many of his friends. One volume in particular is left to a certain friend and is de scribed as one "which he borrowed many years ago and has not returned." Increased Tractor Power. A new attachment designed to give the small tractor greater bearing area and increased pulling power, re places the round wheels with two large sprockets, according to an illus trated article in Popular Mechanics Magazine. Outside of each sprocket is a cast-steel arm which projects for ward and downward, carrying at its front end a smaller idlrtr wheel. A tn-.'-k tread nasses a round the sprock et and idler wheed. giving the tractor increased bearing area. Lightest of Liquids. Many experiments here and abroad l'.dvc shown that liquid hydrogen is by far the lightest of all known liquids. Its density is one-fourteenth *\..r jind. curiously enough, this happens to be the Jaime ratio of density that hydrogen in the gaseous suite hears to air. For ions; the light est liquid known was liquified marsh gas. which possesses about two-fifths of the density of water.?Washiiigtf>r SlLftf.
