Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH. UTAH Farm Topics 1 BAUKHAGE Natl The Can Detect Distress E. E. DE TURK (Prolessor ot Soil Fertility. College of Agriculture. University of Illinois.) Legumes, like other crops, fly unmistakable distress signals when their diet lacks important plant food elements, observations made in the past cropping season indicate. Yet they frequently show these nutritional deficiencies by slow growth, rather than by any specific abnormalities of form or color. They are likely to produce undersized plants which are normal in appearance otherwise. Ordinarily the early symptoms of plant food hunger take the form of changes in color. The most common color symptom results from chlorosis or loss of the green color. This may be followed by the death of the affected area. The chlorosis may consist of paling of the ordinary green color, or the appearance of various shades of yellow or even white dots and patches. In general the lack of one or more of the three major plant food elements nitrogen, phosphorus and potash will result in ill health for the crop. Nitrogen deficiency results in slow growth of the legumes, a decrease in the branching of the plants and smaller plants at maturity. These may occur without the appearance of specific symptoms and have little value to the farmer or agronomist attempting a diagnosis. Severe nitrogen deficiency often causes mild chlorosis in which the leaves gradually become pale green with a yellowish tinge rather than distinctly yellow. The chlorosis usually spreads evenly over the entire leaf surface. A lack of phosphorus manifests itself in slow growth. The legume plants remain small and undeveloped. Flowering and seed production tend to be delayed and a bluish-gree- n tinge may develop in the leaves. But there are no specific symptoms that can be used with assurance for purposes of detecting M A E ft IP O I? By C. WNO M.

LISTEN phosphorus deficiency. Of all the symptoms observable in legumes, those of potash hunger are probably the most outstanding and easily recognized. Broad-leave- d legumes such as the soybean show evidence of insufficient potash by irregular yellow mottling around the edges of the leaflets. The discolored areas soon merge, forming a continuous yellow border around the tip and along the sides, but rarely around the base. Death of the chlorotic area that first became mottled follows promptly along with a downward cupping of the leaf edges. Then the dead tissue falls out, giving the leaflet a Died in Office Six Presidents of the United States died in office. Three were assassinated. William Henry Harrison died April 4, 1841, a month after his inauguration; Zachary Taylor died on July 9, 1850; Abraham Lincoln was shot on April 14, 1865, and died the following day; James Garfield was shot July 2, 1881, and died September 19; William McKinley was shot September 6,. 1901, and died September 14, Warren G. Harding died August 2 . 1923. - k Weed Problem To get rid of sorrel in the front yard spray the weedy areas with one pound of iron sulphate mixed with one gallon of water. Mix in a porecelain, wooden or glass container. If the mixture comes in direct contact with the grass it may cause it to appear injured, but it seldom permanently harms a lawn. Spray the weedy areas with water in the evening and then first thing in the morning apply the iron sulphate. . Penn. Shopping District The penitentiary in Mexico City has a retail shopping district, or a street of shops and offices run by the prisoners for their fellow inmates. Those operating the places, which are rent free, sell such articles as clothing, hats, shoes, groceries, soft drinks, gifts and pets; others are barbers, dentists, printers and even lawyers who specialize in writing petitions and appeals.

The --Dairy Production all-o- ut dairy production program for defense needs and higher returns to the dairymen should be tempered with careful feeding and management practices, believes C. S. Rhode, extension dairy specialist of the University of Illinois college of agriculture. Overfeeding on high protein rations, short dry periods and failure to supply adequate amounts of minerals are some of the things to be avoided. Balancing the grain mixture to fit the kind and quality of available .roughage, the use of bone meal in the ration when needed and a dry period of a month to six weeks are some of the points that should receive attention.

Cook, extension soil conservationist at Rutgers university. This is the time to make plans for 1942, he reminds farmers. American farmers will be asked to produce greater quantities of food than ever before in the history of the country, Cook reports. Farmers are fast finding out, by means of research and experience on their own farms, that conservation practices play a definite part in increasing yields. This is the time to begin planning the farm program for next season in such a way that record production can be obtained without the wasteful practices of the last war.
