LEE Erosion control and improvement of soil fertility are both accomplished by contour strips on steep farm land. And there is the third advantage from strip cropping in that it affords protection to terraces. Many farmers in the erosion control demonstration areas, directed by the sqil-conservation service, are using strip-cropping to advantage. On slopes where the fall is not very great, it is a common practice to have two strips in row crops and a third strip in a close-growing crop, alternating in this order all the way down the hill. But on steeper slopes, where the erosion problem is greater, it is advisable to increase the proportion of closegrowing crops by sowing down every other strip. The use of legumes in close growing strips enables a farmer to gradually improve the fertility of all fields, and at the same time protect them against erosion. Some farmers report a 20 to 25 per cent increase in crop yields since they first adopted ^he practice of stripcropping. / By retardwig and spreading runoff water, tjie strips of close-growing crops at intervals down the slope keep silt out of the flow lines of terraces and prevent them from overtopping. This is especially noticeable during heavy rains. Usual Pasture Methods Favor Horse Parasites Parasites attacking horses and mules are favored by the usual methods of pasturing live stock on farms, according to Dr. Benjamin Schwartz of the U. S. . bureau of animal industry. Common methods of pasturing and the habits of horses are particularly favorable to the serious parasitic roundworms or strongyles, a group which also includes the hookworm as a parasite on humans. Parasite attacks lead to a weakness and poor condition and waste of feed and may disable or kill horses and mules if the damage is not checked. Timely medicinal treatment is a desirable aid. Once an animal is attacked by these roundworms, the natural terf' dency is for the infestation to increase and to spread to other horses and mules. The eggs of these internal parasites are scattered in the manure where they hatch. Theyare long-lived and persistent and can exist for months on the moist grasses in pastures where horse* graze. Thus the animals take in parasites to renew and aggravate the cycle of infection. For horse-breeding establishments where the high value of the stock warrants the expense, Doctor Schwartz points out the effectiveness of a relatively new heat treats ment. Under this plan the manure is collected and placed in large insulated boxes where the natural heat, sometimes aided by steam pipes, raises the manure to a temperature that will kill eggs' and lal* vae of the worms. mcr sonals Miss Susan Nimsgern of Evanston spent the weekend with her mother, Mrs. Catherine Nimsgern.

ROCK MANGLES LEG OF FISHERMAN AT DAM Stanley DeYoung, 32 years old, of 3729 West 116th Place, Blue Island, suffered a compound fracture of the left leg early Monday morning of last week while fishing at the McHenry dam. DeYoung and a conipanion, Alvin Johnson, of the same address, left home early and arrived at McHenry about 5:00 o'clock. While fishing at the dam DeYoung's foot became wedged between two rocks. Attempting to extricate his foot, he loosened a larger stone which fell against his leg; it was badly mangled under the impact of the heavy rock. DeYoung v$ks treated at the emer gency hospital in Wauconda and was then removed to the Libertyville hos pital where the injured leg was placed in a cast.

With it they have cleaned dry-shelled fruits such as locust, catalpa, and rebud, and fleshy fruits such as plums, grapes, hawthorns, apples, and berries. To prevent injury to the seed, the hammer mill is operated slowly, often at only 400 revolutions a minute. With dry fruits the mill cracks the shells, but not the seed. The seed can then be cleaned with a fanning mill. With the fleshy fruits, the hammer mill smashes the pulp and a stream of water .floats it away, leaving the seed on the screens of the mill. The usual nursery method of separating seeds from pulpy fruits has been to ferment the fruits until the seeds either float to the surface or drop to the bottom of the tank. Experiments show that the fermentation process often injures the seeds so that they do not germinate freely. The hammer mill method of cleaning is not only cheaper, but with intelligent management of the mill to avoid injury to the seeds, it results in better-quality seed with • higher rate of germination.
