Ditching With Dynamite
During wet seasons farmers find
necessary to do some emergency ditch-
ing to carry off excess water. Fre-
quently it is Impossible to dig such
ditches. In this case, says the Prairie
Farmer, dynamite ditching offers the
best possibility of getting the Job done
Immediately. An experienced man
should handle the dynamiting. It is
necessary to use a form of material
that Is impervious to water. Usually
sticks art1 placed In holes IS Inches
apart. It is then only necessary to
connect up the first charge with the
electric blasting machine, the others
being set olT by an “explosion wave"
which Is set up. Scattered nmd causes
less damage than standing water.

Revival of limestone spreading will
pay extra dividends If farmers will use
more legumes on the limed soil. On
an experiment field the fertility level
of limed land waa raised an extra 50
per cent through the use of legumes.
A more normal rate of limestone use
is expected to be resumed this year
as a result of the improvement In farm
Income.
During the depression years tonnage
fell off.
In addition to adding organic matter
to limed soil and raising Its general
fertility level in that way, a catch crop
of clover or other legumes lessens
leaching losses and cuts down erosion
damage. The direct benefit of lime-
stone to grain crops is relatively small.
Full returns from liming cannot be had
without the frequent and regular use of
legumes In the cropping system.
This Is shown by results on the Car-
linville experiment field In Macoupin
county. Illinois. Since 1921 a two-year
rotation of corn and wheat has been
grown on land which received five tons
of limestone an acre. Prior to treat-
ment this land was medium acid, typ-
ical of the level soils of that section.
On one portion of the limed area

Wool and Hair
When wool and hair are examined
and compared under the microscope
wool Is much simpler than hair. Wool
grows from the upper layer of a double
skin. Hair, on the other hand. Is n fila-

form of epidermis growing from a
short papilla stink nt the bottom of a
