Red mites and sunshine are never foumd together. in t Vamed by so1 and crop experts in a series of tests recently completed, from the use of wheat straw with horse manure. When fresh straw was added to manure and applied to growing crops, a pronounced detriâ€" mental effect was noted as compared with crops where fresh manure was usod alone. It was further observed that when straw was added to the manure, together with some preservaâ€" tive, a marked loss of the organic matter of the manure resuited. The loss of organic matter amounted to{ fiftyâ€"three per cent. during an interâ€" val of four months where peat was,! added to manureâ€"straw mixture and, only thirtyâ€"two per cent. where thel Rfd Mites a Sfi:rioué Enemy Reduces Value of Horse Manure. Surprising results have been tained by soil and crop expaerts it Mechanical straw spreaders have a capacity to cover twenty acres of land a day with a thin, medium or heavy coat of straw, according to the supply and need of the land. Straw should be spread year after ; year, since it must be in a decomposed state before it becomes readily availâ€" able as a plant food. In one experi ment no increase was noted in a tenâ€" year test until the tenth year, when a sufficient decomposition had taken place to reveal results. But in the meantime the spread straw had mainâ€" tained the fertility and had acted as | an overcoat each winter for fallâ€"seedâ€" ed crops. If you have a light soil which is deâ€" ficient in organic matter, there is noâ€" thing better or cheaper you can put on the land than straw. It will serve to keep the soil from blowing. The addiâ€" tion of humus stops the blowing and often means the saving of a good crop in the spring when the winds often ‘ play havoec. Thus, spread straw on . this kind of land means the difference between partial loss and full crops. If you farm heavy bottom land, spread straw is valuable also. In fact, experiments over a period of several years in various parts of the country, prove that there is no particular land that shows best results from spread | straw, since it seems to have aspecinl! service to render each. The red mi Your wheat cropt removes a large percentage of potassium from the soil. Wheat straw will replace threeâ€" fourths of this annually, which shows that its use will reduce further the amount of commercial fertilizer needâ€" ed, where it is used. By returning proper amounts of straw on grain land, not only is the fertility mainâ€" tained, but the producing power assured. aire one cerer are quire ndusâ€" til th ige obâ€" secks to e:tablish a point of connec tion wit.‘}mhim».

A rise in temperature in A ventilator means the beginning of rot in that vicinity and this condition should be looked after immediate!y. The rotting of a single root is enough to raise the temperature three or four degrees in the ventilator nouy which it is situated. To locate the spot where the rotling roots are to be found, we check up the temperatlure in the ventilators on either side of the one where the highest rise in temperature occurred.

To avoid this difficulty we put a few loads of maâ€" nure mround the pits to prevent the soil from freezing so that when we come to put the second covering on the pits we only have to shovel loose earth. : o i e es It is seldom indead that the con» tents of a root pit survive the fall and winter storage conditions without being affected by rot or being partialâ€" ly frozen.
