Certain Crops to Restore
Fertility of Soil.
Washington. The AAA announced
a list of supplemental soil building
practices for which farmers in the
north central region will be granted
payments under the new soil conser
vation program.
The AAA said the supplemental list
had been approved by Secretary Wal
lace, following recommendations
made by state committees and land
gTant colleges.
Payments on the new practices will
vary from 75 cents per acre to 5 3 per
acre. These soil building payments
are in addition to the soil conserving
payments which are oxpected to aver
age $10 per acre thruout the country.
Among the newly approved prac
tices are new seedings or perennial
grasses on crop land or non-crop pas
ture land at rates varying from 75
cents to ? 2 per acre, except created
wheat grass for which the rate is r'i
per acre.
Vetch, crimson clover, and annual
sweet clover have been added to the
LAND, FARM and
RANCH BARGAINS
new legume seedings rates as soil
building at $1 per acre.
In an effort to secure greater co
operation from truck farmers and
fruit growers, the AAA said It would
pay $ 1 per acre for planting of cer
tain .green manure crops following
truck crops, and for using certain
cover crops in orchards and Vine
yards. The supplemental list took cogniz
ance of peculiar soil conditions in
western Nebraska and South Dakota
by creating a separate area including
63 counties in western Nebraska and
49 counties in western South Dakota.
In this area, where the planting of a
nurse crop is necessary for establish
ing pasture grasses, a payment of 30
cents per acre will be made for using
rye as a nurse crop, provided the rye
is not harvested nor used as grain or
hay. In addition, a payment of 50
to 75 cents per acre will be made to
farmers in the area who practice strip
cropping.

Married at Nebraska City.
In Nebraska City last Friday was
celebrated the marriage of Miss Dor
cthey Tigner, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Tigner, and Ralph Mar
shall. The ceremony uniting the
lives of these two young people took
place at the parlors of the Mt'thodist
church at that place. The young peo
ple will make their home In Union'
and have obtained apartments at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Atte
berry. The Journal joins with their
many friends in extending congratu
lations and best wishes.
Have you found trouble growing
asters the last few years? If so,
whether you know what caused the
trouble or not, it will pay to try the
wilt resistant strains this year.
These are families of asters which
have been grown in soil infected by
the wilt disease, and have shown
ability to throw off the disease and
survive where others die.
They have exceptional vigor, and
seem to overcome all difficulties bet
ter than the standard bred strains.
They are not resistant to any spe
cific disease except wilt, and where
the yellows disease is prevalent, not
all the wilt resistant plants will es
cape the yellows. But some will, and
in general it has been found that
those who have trouble growing
asters, get far better results with the)
resistant strains.
Nearly all the types and colors are
now obtainable in wilt resistant
strains.
A succession of asters may be ob
tained in two ways by starting the
late types early in the house or in a
frame and making succesive plant
ings until they may be sown in the
open ground, or by sowing early, mid
season and late types at the same
time.
The giant branching type is per
haps the most satisfactory and the
showiest of the asters. It makes a
beautiful bed, and is fine for cutting,
its huge, delicate blossoms being as
soft and finished looking as the flor
ists' cut flowers. They grow up to
3 feet in a wide range of colors.
The ostrich feather, or crego type,
with their plume-like heads, resemble
the chrysanthemum, and are almost
as large. The petals are curled and
twisted into a soft ball of delicate
color, supported on a straight stem,
which makes them ideal for Indoor
decoration. Like the rose, a single
bloom will show off well in a vase.
More sensational is the California
sunshine type, with its daisy-like con
tour which belies the aster heritage.
Their loosely placed outside petals!
usually contrast in color with the
creamy yellow or blue centers, and
they grow up to 3 feet tall.
Rose and pink with lavender and
purples are good colors to mix with
white asters; but as with other an
nuals, they show off better when
planted in solid colors.
The seed should be sown thinly to
make transplanting easy and save
waste of plants in spindling, over
crowded seedlings. They should be
transplanted from the original seed
box or pot 1 inch apart as soon as
the first true leaves are formed and
grown until ready to set into the
open ground.
It is well to bring them Into bloom
before the latter part of August or
after that period as at that time
comes me nignt or aster oeeties,
which are so destructive, and eat the
blooms and buds badly. Cultivate
them freauentlv. and eive them annli-
c&tlona of tobacco dust to destroy the!
pests. Never plant asters on the
same piece of ground two years in
succession.
There are just three easy-to-re-member
principles of correct plant
ing (1) Plant in masses; (2) Avoid
straight lines; (3) Leave centers
open.
Plant something. Your pride in
your home and your community is
judged by the way your place looks.
Make it attractive.
Shade trees should be staked the
first season aft-r planting, and tho
soil pressed down firmly. If this is
not done the trees will be loosened
by wind storms and will kan slight
ly towards the direction of prevailing
winds.
Don't forget to water thoroughly
all trees and plants during the first
summer after planting.
Evergreens are beautiful the year
around but are especially effective in
winter. They retain their foliage
and liven up the landscape when oili
er things are dormant.
The first cost of a tree or plant is
a very small item compared to the
value of the investment a few sea
sons later.
Hydrangeas should never bo pruned
in summer, for they bloom late in
summer at the tips of the current
season's growth. However, if winter
pruning is directed to cutting back
the tops of the bushes contrary to
general pruning rules) this will re
sult in vigorous branching and in a
liberal show of bloom in the autumn.
Thus Hydrangea is a partial excep
tion to the rule of pruning shrubs
from the bottom, although a com
paratively frequent renewal from the
base of each plant will, in the long
run. be an advantage to tins species
also.
If your early flowering shrubs are
to yield a maximum of bloom they
should be pruned moderately and reg
ularly every year directly after
blooming. This pruning must be
done skillfully and at the right moment.
Woody climbing vines usually make
such extraordinary growth each sum
mer that it is desirable, sometimes
necessary, to cut out relatively large
quantities of this wood each year.
This pruning should be done very
early In spring, generally in February.
Candytufts
for Cutting
New Snow-White Spikes Make Im
posing: Display Have Been
Greatly Improved.
An old-fashioned annual that hag
been greatly Improved, and in the
hands of the florist lias heroine a
major greenhouse subject, is Hie
candytuft. Under glas it makes im
posing spikes which may be approxi
mated by good culture in the garden.
The usual difficulty that results in
smaller spikes of bloom is crowding
and lack of cultivation.
The huge spikes of snow-white
bloom which you see in the florists'
window are distinctly different from
the old-time garden variety, and they
may now be grown in the garden, al
though the smaller uir.bellata types
are more satisfactory for eolor mass
int. - 4
The candytufts grow about a foot
high and like a position in full sun.
They bloom in about eight weeks
after sowing, but as the blooming
season is rather short several sow
ings are needed to maintain a suc
cession of bloom. They are very
popular as edging:? for taller annuals
and perennials.
The common practice has been to
sow the seed thickly i:i a row and
leave the plants to struggle along.
As they always give brilliant bloom
they do not receive the attention
they deserve. Each plant should have
at least 6 inches of space.
While white is the most popular
cutting variety the colored types are
most valued for their fine effect in
the garden. There are carmine, crim
son, lavender, llesli-pink tones which
are qually beautiful. The season is
prolonged somewhat by cutting off
the bloom as soon as it begins to
fade to stop the formation of seed,
but the best way is to sow crops two
weeks apart.
The giant types, which have much
heavier growth than the common gar
den sorts, should be given a foot of
room, and applications of plant food
to develop their beauty and largo
spikes of bloom. It is one of the?
hardiest of annuals and may be sown
as soon as the ground can be worked.
Thin it and see how much better a
plant it will become.
TO TEACH AT FT. CALHOUN
It doesn't take a very great stretch
of the imagination to consider your
house and its surroundings as a paint
ing when you exhibit it to a pros
pective buyer. In purchasing a home,
as in buying a painting, the lirst im
pression has much to do in determin
ing the decision. Certainly a house
situated in the midst of a barren
tract of ground will not carry the
same feeling tone that the same house
would if surrounded by a well-plant
ed lawn and flower garden.
