R. Stant-n- , an agronomist of the United States 'Department of Agriculture in Spring-SowFanners Bulletin 1583-F- , Red Oats,, just issued by tbe n n department. , Red Oai Areas. . oats are Spring-sown ; grown-maln- ly in the reglon,cornprising the southern parts of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. southeastern Nebraska, and Kentucky. Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Kan sas, Oklahoma, and northern Texas. According to the 1919 census, about 8,000,000 acres of oats were grown in the principal red-oa- t producing states about 5,0'0,(K)0 of which were spring-sowandf the rest red oats Since then the proportion of spring sown oats has increased markedly, and It is estimated that about ; 7,000.000 acres were sown to red oats in the fall-sow- n spring of 1927. This decided Increase In r acreage. Mr. Stanton says. Is due largely to the development and distribution of, the Fulghuni oat for spring seeding. Red oats, he says, are often referred to as oats and have the ability to withstand hot, dry weather, especially at heading mid filling time. Fulghum and its various strains are at present one of the most important varietal groups In this country.- their extreme earliness, enabling them to escape Injury by. hot weather and drought to some extent. Varieties Discussed. There Is detailed discussion of the several important varieties in the bul letin. Copies may be obtained from the office of information. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.

Now it Is found that it can he roasted in a practical way, says the Wisconsin Agriculturist There Is a danger of spreading this pest by way of seed corn. Some one might bring a single ear of seed corn into a clean district and from ttyit might spread the scourge. It is found, however, that the borrer in the cob or grains Van be killed by heat. The United States Department of Agriculture reports that a tempera ture of 13G.4 degrees, maintained for 24 hours, will kill it. The same result will come from 140 degrees fot eight hours; 145.4 degrees for five hours; 150 8 degrees for three hours, or 154.4 degrees tor two and a half tiours. This would be a very low oven temperature. This is a good tiling to know and may help In preventing the spread of this dangerous pest. Alfalfa Will Furnish High-Grad- e Roughage Among all the standard feed crops alfalfa generaiiy ranks at or near the top in dollar value per acre. A good crop of alfalfa hay yields from two to seven times as much digest iiile protein per acre as any of the farm crops commonly grown for live stor k feed. An alfalfa field on the farm will do more than furnish every class of live stock with the highest grade of rough age possible at a reasonable cost. With alfalfa hay avaiinhle. other high yielding legumes can le used as pasture, or they can be plowed under as . soil builders. Alfalfa seeded In the fall requires a good seedbed, well pulverized and firm. .The soil pulverizer Is recog nlzed as a good tool for crushing clods and for firming the soil before seeding. i i Farm Notes . ; v Erosion is active on 75 per cent of all the land in the United Statea ' Agriculture, like Industry, will do to make, war on waste in 'all forma well Sweet clover is considered to be a good fertilizer and it will do much to keep land in good condition.

Records of the state department are in excellent condition. RICHFIELD Potato growers of Sevier county are taking steps to place their industry on a business basis, and already, with the cooperation of a Salt Lake commission house, plans are under way to provide a storage cellar, 120x40 feet, convenient to railroad trackage in Richfield. Communities to the south also are interested. PLEASANT GROVE The board ,of directors of the American Fork Canyon Water company met at the weir at the mouth of American Fork canyon recently and accepted the contract vork of A. K.

Following custom that has meant much to poor children of the city. Firemen have announced that the men in their department are eager to repair and remodel all damaged toys that may be sent to them that they may be distributed at Christmas time. In this connection, the chief urges that all persons having such toys and desiring to make some needy little one hap- - . py send them in at once. The Wright SPANISH FORK planing mill at Springville has cut a quantity of red cedar in .Tie Fork near Solcfier Summit for use in making chests and other articles of furniture. This is largely an experiment but may be developed on a larger scale, as the native cedar has a beautiful color when polished. The timber is dried for a year before using and has already at- traded attention of one of the lar- ger concerns. SPRINGVILLE With the shipment of 3500 dressed turkeys by V. C. Mendenhall and 2500 by B. M. Mendenhall, these two men for the second time are reported as the heaviest producers of turkeys In this community. Both men shipped to a California market Others who ranked close with these producers this year are E. T. Thorne, Joseph Carnesecca and C. O. Law n proceedings. V - - She Picked on Him The wheels of the divorce mill were grinding out a heavy grist in court when a young man presented his plea for a divorce on the grounds that his wife had been unnecessarily cruel to him. Asked to describe the specific cruelty by the Justice presiding, the libelant, In somewhat of an effeminate She hit voice, declared spiritedly: me, she beat me, she hurled missies at me, and so on. The evidence concluded, the Judge leaned over to his clerk and In an aside which was audible to quite a few others In the courtroom, inquired: Is there any request In this libel for the libelant to resume his maiden name? Brockton Enterprise. Showing General Knox in Diplomatic Light One thing about the World war: little or nothing has been said about-thsoldierB going In hungry. this, department, at least, tbe old hardships seemed to have been successfully eliminated. In contrast, one recalls Washington at Valjey Forge. The plight of the Continental army became so desperate that Washington finally sent General Knox and Captain Sargeant to explain their condi' tion to congress.remembered General that be will It Knox was very generously propor-tlone- d and It happened that Captain Sargeant was far from wearing tat- -' ters. One member of congress noted this and remarked that in spite of the tale of starvation and rags he had seldom noted a gentleman so fat and one so well dressed. It is true, said General Knox, for out of respect; the choice was made of the only man who had an extra ounce of flesh sad the only one who had a whole suit of clothes. , English Tailor Not Slow When the sultan of Zanzibar ordered cloth.es made In a hurry while In London recently, It was brought out the English claim the record of the world. In 1811, It Is related, wool was clipped from two Southdowns at five oclock one morning, washed, cured, spun and woven, the cloth scoured and dyed, and a complete suit made from It so that a Berkshire baronet wore It at his dinner at 6:30 oclock that evening. By his quick work the tailor won a wager 1 quick-tailorin- of $5,000. g . Shell for Shaving , Shaving, originally, was a symbolic! act denoting that the person was in mourning or under a vow. It had nothing to do with a mans appearance. Oyster shells were tbe first razers, their natural edge smoothed and sharp; ened by polishing and friction.

Variety Shows Increase in West-- , era States. by o of the Major motor expedition was the first white man who hunted and killed elephants on foot with a spear. While I was on this safari, he said, "we followed several herds Into waterless country in the district of the Sudan, where tbe elephants usually trek to water only every third or fourth night When they do, nothing will stop them. We followed this particular herd all day, and at night 1 was ready to give up. I made camp and stopped. Babal-la- , Mandala hunta young er, who was said to be something of a magician, then came to me and said he thought be could bind tbe herd with his magic rope. ; These maglc ropes are not uncommon in Africa. They are usually about a yard long and made of Dompalm fiber. Baballa sat down with the rope in his hands, and went through the motions of tying his arms, legs, ankles and neck, muttering Incantations as he did so. His muscles became tauL and he relapsed He sat so for a into a few minutes, and then suddenly relaxed, grunted That Is good. and rose to his feet Next morning we ran Into the elephants only half a mile from camp, and killed onel They were almost ..stationary.
