Slight Displacement of Poise Alfalfa Thrives Best May Result in Error in Well-Prepar- in Weight. (Prepared by tha United States Department of Agriculture.) A suggestion to weighmasters at public stock yards Issued recently by the packers and stock yards division may also serve as a caution to farmers and live stock producers who maintain scales on their farms, the United States Department of Agriculture believes. Attention to Details. said the statement authorized by Dr. John R. Mohler, chief of the bureau of animal industry, that weighmasters give careful attention to the smallest details. Alertness on their part may enable them to recognize and prevent the development of conditions, apparently trifling, which, however, may affect the weights obtained over the scales. For instance, it is important that the welghinaster keep the notches of the beam clean. A little dirt, causing a slight displacement of the poise, may result in an appreciable error in the weight In a recent test it was found thath owing to an accumulation of dust In the notches, one of them was 12 pounds slow. This meant a loss to the seller of 12 pounds for every draft weighed over the scale in which this notch It is essential, was used. Using Compressed Air. It may be of interest to know that compressed air Is now being used to dean the working parts of scales at one of the markets.

On land that is plowed this spring, the best practice is to plow early and then wait until June 15 or July 1 to sow the seed. At this time, of course, alfalfa would be sowed alone.
