Improper soil conditions result from constant cultivation and the consequent loss of lime, phosphates, potash and organic matter, making the soil unsuited to the growth of clover. Such conditions can be remedied by applying the elements lacking and by working in manure and other forms of organic matter. When clover failure is causc-- by disease, a disease-resistavariety should be used if available, or some other legume substituted for red clover. If red clover fails on land well supplied with lime, sweet clover can often be used instead. , then, according to Project Engineer Growers asscciation plant, during Mr. Guyn states that water the past week received over 500 is being allowed to run later this sacks of alfalfa seed, making a total fall owing to the extreme dry sea- - 0f 0Ter jqqO sacks.

Dont allow the chicks to be out in the direct, hot rays of the sun all day. If they have no natural shade, provide some; it will pay well. Don't allow those chicks to brood in dirty quarters. Clean the coops often and at least once a week give them a good spraying with some good insecticide. It is much easier to keep the lice and mites down than to get rid of them, once they get a start. Dont neglect giving chicks some good, succulent green feed every day. Location for Trees l Sep-cen- j Trees are preferably located to one side of the house rather than directly in front of it. Groups of shrubs are placed about the foundation of the house and around the border of the lawn area. Lower shrubs are used about the house and taller ones in the border groups. Sod should not be allowed to encroach upon the shrub areas. The perennial beds and shrubbery groups should be cultivated three or four times during the season. mountains this week.

The members cf the committee 'Harden Bennion, M. S. Winder and Paul Kelly decided to follow the suggestions of E. S. Smith of Bountiful for a better balanced exhibit than heretofore. Steps already have been taken to collect samples. Among other things, the exhibit tfill probably contain an entry for the sweerstakes cf the show in the white and yellow dent corn, an entry on red winter wheat and white spring wheat seed, one in the qats section and still another in the Trebi barley class, in addition to the exhibits entered last year. The committee also decided to make a larger exhibit of red and sweet clover seed. The alfalfa seed exhibit, which took a majority of the prizes at the last shew, will also be improved.
