Preparation of Seed Bed
( Concluded from page 4. )
surface after rain , or kill t <
weeds before planting. Ifc is i
splendid help in firming a seed bed
to take a four-horse team , and a
heavy roller and roll the field be
fore planting. Newly germinatec
weeds have few roots and arc
easily torn loose by harrowing ;
therefore use the harrow freely.
t
Prof. Bowman says that weeds.and
grass allowed to grow in corn stalk
land in the spring , before plowing
are injurious to the physical con
dition of the soil because they com
pact and harden the surfacewhich
in turn allows the rapid evapora
tion of moisture. When this
green mat is turned under later
it acts as a partition between the
furrow slice and the bottom of the
furrow.
A light coating of manure from
a spreader over your corn land is
very beneficial , but refrain from
spn a-Jing green manure too thick
ly , as rotti n green manure requires
a greatdeal of moisture which must
necessarily be drawn from jthe sur
face soil , and oftsn causesthe fur
row slice to become very dry with
in a few days. * ,
In parts of Nebraska where
there is ample rainfall , we would
recommend that the check-rower
be used in planting. Some farm
ers prefer listing , claiming that it
stands the drouth better , is easier
to kill the weeds and the corn
stands up better under a high
wind. Take a little pride in try
ing to get the rows pefectly
straight , as the satisfaction you
will experience all through the
season will amply repay you for
the trouble. Use a rigid neckyoke
on your planter. . Do not fail to
know that the planter or lister is
working properly.
In fall plowing or on stubble
ground , when it is considered de
sirable to list , do not plant with
your lister but use the corn plant
er with check rower in lister fur
row. The satisfaction experienced
by after results will amply repay.
PREPARATION FOR. OATS.
Next to corn , one of the most
valuable crops to the Nebraska
farmer , is oats. The yield of
oats for Nebraska for the year
190S was reported at an average
of 23.86 bushels per acre which
should easily be increased from
25 to 50 per cent under intelligent
methods. The oats which under
observation , have produced the
best yield in Nebraska , are Kher
son for ea'rly , and for later , Swe
dish , Select and Silver Mine.
Owing to the fact that these va
rieties are quite extensively grown ,
we think the seed more easily ob
tained than some of the varieties
We wish to announce to our friends that
we have the exclusive sale of the John Deere

E. 3IOKBIS , W. W. 3FOUKISSEY , J. T. JJEELEY , DR. O. W. NOTES
Located in buildings former-l.v occupied
by W. T. Bishop as a feed and sale barn
litttl.y introduced , which may bt
fully equal in yield. When you
have secured your seed , run i (
through your fanning mill to thor
oughly clean it of small and chaffy
grains , retaining only the plump ,
heavy seed. If you have no fan
ning mill buy or borrow one , or
load your seed up and take to an
elevator and have it cleaned there.
In the greater part of the state it
is not necessary to treat for smut ,
but if you are a resident of riorth-
'eastern Nebraska , our advice
would be that you adhere to the
following :
When your seed is cleaned , and
two or three days before you de
sire to sow , get a rain barrel , and
to forty gallons of water add one
pound of formalin , and stir it well ;
clean a place on the barn or gran
ary floor , and cover same with
oats to the depth of two inches ;
take a sprinkling can and sprinkle
with the mixture ; rake over well
so that each grain is moistened ;
add another layer of oats and re
peat the sprinkling and raking
until all your seed is treated.
Then spread out over the floor
about two inches deep , and by the
following day the oats will be suf
ficiently dry to sow through your
drill. By this method you will
get rid of 95 per cent of the smut
which costs some of our farmers
fully , ten per cent of their crop
each year.
To prepare the gronnd , get a
corn stalk cutter and cut the stalks ,
and in order to leave the surface
of your field as nearjy level as pos
sible , disc your field diagonally ,
lapping one-half or more ; then sow
with a drill from two or three
bushels per acre.
HOW TO KILL GOPHERS IX ALFALFA
FIELDS.
Numerous complaints having
been bent to the state board of
agriculture relative to the destruc
tion of alfalfa fields by gophers ,
and from reports of various ex
periments we are pleased to suL-
rait the following method for the
extermination of gopher colonies.
Select potatoes about the size of
English walnuts ; insert an open
ended quill about two-thirds of the
way through the potato , half fill
the cavity in the potato ( made by
the quiil ) with strychnine ; plug the
balance of the hole with potato ,
place the medicated potatoes in
basket or pail allowing them four
or five hours to saturate before
using. Take a sharp end wagon
rod and spade and these potatoes
out to the field to be treated. By
probing , with the end-gate rod
into the ground between the gopher
hills , the runways are easily lo
cated. When located carefully
uncover the runway , drop in a
couple of the potatoes , cover with
litter and soil so that the dirt does
not fill the original runway and
that no light penetrates. Treat
each colony in the same manner
and the field will be effectually
cleared of the pests.
