FRIDAY, -FEBRUARY 96, 1615, aing Lile'". Farm Pay The growing of crops for seed is be- coming highly profitable in a number of localities and is a commendable feature of farm industry for any good, careful, systematic man to introduce and prac- tice in connection with his other farm duties. There-has never been a more opportune time for taking up this work. In the first place, this is a good thing to do as a matter of economy and protection for one’s own crop in- terests. In the next place, the multi plicity of opportunities for putting good corn or other seed on exhibition so it will become an educational force and tend to better agriculture makes the growing of farm seeds desirable. Miss Maude M. Griffith of St. Claire county, Mo., is making her farm prof- itable by raising English blue grass for seed. This product pays well as a hay crop. *I think so much of Eng- lish blue grass as a money maker and as a fertilizer,” said Miss Grifiith in discussing the line of farming in which she has specialized with such marked success, “that I am planning to get the greater part of my farm seeded down, and especially 1 am working on weak- er soil which has had successive corn crops. “English blue grass is, in my opin- ion. one of the most important crops | GROWING SEED CORN. to be grown, for there are so many sources of advantage. It is a paying proposition from any point of view. The seed is always in demand and commands a good price, generally bringing from 13 to 22 cents per pound. “Aftef raising seed worth $50 to $75 an acre we have the pasture left for stock. Another advantage is that three seed crops may be harvested following one seeding. This means a decided saving of seed and labor.” Miss Griffith finds great pleasure as well as profit in her work and is an ardent advocate of the back to the farm movement, especially for women. During the season of 1912 a farm in Mitchell county, la., produced 20,000 bushels of onions from twenty-seven ncres. Single acres produced as high as 1,000 bushels, but a raid of the onion maggot upon one side of the field cut down the average. The soil used was heavily enriched. but it had been cropped in onions for years, About thirty years ago the owners of this farm went to Towa and con- tracted for forty acres of land near town, going into debt to the extent of $4,000. The neighbors called them crazy. Since that time they have been offered $1.000 an acre for this same forty, but have refused it. For ten years they have secured a gross re- turn from this land of $15,000, or an income of over 18 per cent upon a val- uation of $2,000 per acre. One of the secrets of their succ(ss is to have the land very rich. Origi: nally it was a black loam, with about 2 per cent of sand; six feet down lime- stone. The land is manured with well rotted barnyard refuse every year. It is plowed about eight inches deep, and a subsoiler is used in the bottom of the furrow to loosen up three or four inches deeper. Then the harrow is put on and kept going until the surface is perfectly level and the soil is thorough- | ly fine. In fact, it is as mellow as the proverbial ash heap. Onion seed is planted in rows, which are placed fourteen inches apart. The seeds are dropped about six inches apart in the row. It requires one and one-half pounds to plant an acre. This method results in no waste of seed, and the back breaking work of thinning is not needed. It is rare that any hand weeding is found necessary. The use of the wheel hoe and hand cultivator is persistent, particularly in the early part of the season. Careful figuring shows that the 1912 crop was produced at a cost | of 8 cents per bushel. After the first seed was secured the farm produced its own seed. The largest bulbs are always selected and those which keep best for growing the seed. By doing this a strain has been developed which is not only large, but keeps well into the following summer, with practically 1o loss from sprouting. A part of the business now is to grow onion seed for sale in large quantities. Thirty-six-per cent of the women [ in Washington, D. C., are wage earn- || ers and that city ranks fifth in pro-) portion to population for female ‘workers. a Newark, N. J., druggist, has been appointed a member of the board of health in that ecity.

The fact tiat bituminous pavements laid in the city of Providence are iot sprinkled with water is a subject that bas occasioned frequent comments on the part of visitors to this city who are interested in the maintenance and cleaning of such pavements, says Wal- ter F. Slade, commissioner of public works of Providence, R. I, in:ithe American City. He says: 1 -will say briefly that we are con- vinced that bituminous pavements: in a condition more satisfactory to. all classes that travel the streets, both afoot and in vebicles, without rather than by using water for sprinkling. We keep them clean’ by the patrol system and reasonably free from dust. We believe that the use of water has of the pavement. It emphasizes every slight depression and gathers and re- talns the fine -particles that collect on a street, creating an unsightly appear ance and a muddy, slippery condition. This results in the skidding of auto- mebiles and a vast increase in the num- ber of accidents. By- keeping' the ‘pavements free from Wwater we escape another prolific source of complaint. Upon the best of pave- ments ‘there will be: depressions suffi-' clent to retain a thin sheet of water. The rubber tires of the swiftly ‘mov- ing auto, and especially. the auto truck; will act as a syringe and’ force the muddy water in a small stream upon the clothing of any one passing along the sidewnlk and even across.-the side- walk, covering windows and buildings with muddy spots. That meore might be learned about the action of water as affecting the durability of bituminous pavements it would be instructive to bring out the results of laboratory tests and a com- parison of the condition of streets laid about the sume time where water was used and where not. The whole ques- tion is a subject worthy of the earnest consideration of all officers that have charge of the maintenance of bitumi- nous pavements. THE BILLBOARD MUST GO. Supreme Court of lllinois Upholds Ordinance Against It. The law is a progressive science— even if legal procedure lags badly be- | hind with us—and occasionally a court of last resort takes a long, bold step forward that surprises a whole com munity very pleasantly. says the Chi cago Tribune. Ny Our own supreme court has just treated us to a pleasant surprise in its decision in the Chicago billboard case. It has upheld a city ordinanee declared null and void in a lower court ng prop- —an ordinance which, by gi erty owners in residential d right to veto ugly. unsightly and of fensive billboards by withholding con- sent, Ponce de Leon Failed; His Prize Is Found Ponce de Leon, the daring cxbpllo(er‘ searched among the swamps of Florida for the Fountain of Youth, which the Indians said would restore power and make people young.
