He urged that all producers have aa much information a* possible worked out before hand, pointing out that by so doing much time would be saved by both the farmer and the committeeman^. It is to each farmer's advantage to have a record based on accurate information furnished by himself rather than a record of estimated acreages made by the county committee, said Mr. Bridges. He emphasized that any persons overlooked should call at the county office before April 30, the deadline date for completing reports. Sprint Burning Injuries* Xhe practice of burning over woods and fields is. in most Instances, unwise. Research proves that spring burning does not improve pasture or hay land and tt is a serious menace to timber production. Experiments with bluegrass pastures have shown that burning in winter or spring results the following year In from St to 71 per cent decrease in grass production. Where burning is continued year after year, perennial grasses and other forage plants are replaced by annual weeds nearly worthless for pasture.

'ARTT COMMKHTl Everyone knows that timber soil Is n?t as fertile as prairie soil because of the lack of organic matter. From this fact, it should be very easy to see why timber pasture ts not anywhere near as good as pasture in the open. In fact, improved, renovated pasture is five times as good as unimproved permament pasture and eleven times as good as timber pasture. In other words if you had an eleven acre patch of timber and insisted on pasturing It. it would be better to clear off from one to two acres of it, work 1* up, fertilize it, and seed a permanent pasture mixture and keep the livestock out of the rest of the timber. I've seen some permanent pasture renovation work this week. Just at the west edge of Richmond on the curve is a Job that looks fine. Nice wide grass waterways were left. Some folkB still believe a quack digger won't dig up old pasture. You wouldn't think of planting corn in some hard old ground that Ladn't been plowed for twenty years. Why even consider getting any pasture.from it? You couldn't afford to. Neither ran vou afford to let reclaimable land lie in unimproved pasture. You plow and work your coirn land to get air and water into it-- the tilings that make up 95 to 97 per cent of your crop. You can't expect to raise pasture without doing the same thing. Cn the average $18 Is returned for each $1 Invested in pasture improvement. Last year about $4 was returned In beef and milk production from each $1 invested in fly control. Lawrence Anderson and William Meath, dealers in fly control materials from McHenry; Dr. E B. Miller, district health .officer from Woodstock; Ralph Osmuider of National Farm Loan Association; and I attended the flyweontrol meeting put on by the state health department and the College •f Agrteeltvre' at Bt. Chariee last week. Williams of the State Health told about experience in fly control at the state fair last year. D. D. T. was used at a nearby slaughter house, the garbage dump about a block away and at I the state fair barns. Perfect con- | trol was experienced at the barns, j but the slaughter house and the I garbage dump were both failures because of the grand place each provided for more flys to breed. Cleanliness' Is - absolutely necessary. Prof. Petty told of an experiment the college ran last year rear Urbsna Complete D. D. T. spraying was used on twelve farms. Eleven had complete control and the twelfth was a miserable failure because they Just couldn't get the farmer to clean up his manure piles, hog houses, hog lots,- straw piles, etc.; where more flys were born. They seemed to think t). D. T. spraying of garbage dumps is useless because it does not eliminate fly breeding places and the residual effect of D. D. T. is lost because each day, the p-evious days coating is covered with new garbage.

The* eoenty fair originated as a place t» come tor a visit with your friends.

He said the Sandwich fair started years ago from ^scratch and Is still scratching. - Wandering Albatross -<-The "Grand Old Man" among tile bird specimens in the Louis Agassis Fuertes bird collectibn at Cornell is celebrating his 100th aniversary.

World's Supply of Pepper Grown in Confined RegioR Columbus discovered America while searching for pepper and other spices. Today the United States of America is the world's greatest importer and consumer of the pepper Columbus never found. The United States alone consumes about 35 million pounds of pepper s year. Although all the world's pepper is grown in s confined area in the Far East, the center of the trade is New York City, where the Pepper exchange has been located since 1937. We rarely connect pepper with American history, yet it helped save the young United States from bankruptcy and started us on the road to sea power and international commerce. It all came about in the cloak and dagger tradition of the romantic novel. The handsome young Yankee skipper. Captain Johnathan Carries of Salem, Mass., sailed his schooner Ha Jab to the Spice Islands in 1791 and found a way to pierce the tight blockade and bring back a cargo of pepper. Records show that by 1805 we were re-exporting more than 7,500,000 pounds of pepper a year. In the Middle Ages pepper's .preservative effect on foods made possible long caravan treks and the exploration of far-off places. Today pepper is just as important for its use in commercial food processing, and as the homemaker's essential tool in making bland foods more palatable. Order your rubber "stamps at The Plaiadealer.
