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,

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. See, call or

Treating Corn fcr Weevil
Throughout this section of the
state the grain weevil and the grain
moth infest corn in the field before
it is gathered, the infesiatioii be-in :
worse in loose fitting shocks. 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.

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."

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

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
