Two Arrested For Shooting Pheasants Out Of Season Game Warden H. E. Rector of Wright county arrested two pheasant hunters recently for shooting birds out of season. They were Wilbur Showalter of Walnut Grove, Minnesota, and Pranz Aldlnger of Alexander. Both men appeared before a Justice of the Peace and were fined $13.85 apiece for their violations.

No pheasants were in their possession or the fines would have been more severe.

FARMERS CAN GUT RURAL FIRE LOSS Iowa farmers can greatly reduce their share ot the nation's rural fire $96,000,000 and took 3,500 lives last by concentrating on a 4-point fire program, Henry Giese, Iowa State College agricultural engineer, declared this week. "And since this is National Fire Prevention Week," he said, "It's a good time to check on our own fire losses." "Last year rural fires in Including towns under in a reported loss of nearly $2,500,000, a slight increase over the damage suffered In 1937." Causes. The four big causes of farm fires, Giese said, are: 1. Defective flues and heating systems in dwellings. 2.

Sparks or combustible roofs on dwellings. 3. Spontaneous Ignition ot hay or feed in barns. 4. Lightning striking non-rod- ded barns.

"Dwelling and barn flres comprise 93 per cent ot the fire, damage on Iowa Glese emphasized. "Defective flues and heating systems and sparks on combustlle roofs account for 76 per cent ot the known farm dwelling fires, while spontaneous Ignition and lightning are responsible for 67 per cent of the fire damage to barns." The first two causes of farm affecting are most important in summer, Giese pointed out. For that reason a fire prevention program need not "pile up" on a farmer at one time; It can be handled on a seasonal basis. OCT. IDEAL BULB PLANTING MONTH October is the ideal month to plant tulip, daffodil, hyacinth, crocus, Star of Bethlehem, scllla and grape hyacinth bulbs for early spring bloom, says L.

C. Grove, Iowa State College extension floriculturist. Three things are essential to successful planting ot these bulbs drainage, deep and thorough spading and correct depth. Where the soil lacks sufficient drainage, the bulbs may be planted In a layer of sand. The proper planting depth for large bulbs is 5 to 6 inches from top of bulb to the surface of the ground, and for small bulbs, 2 to 3 Inches.

Grove says that a light application) of well-rotted manure spaded Into the soil will encourage the bulbs ot make a better growth In the spring. Iii addition bonemeal or 20 per cent superphosphate may be added at a rate of 4 pounds per 100 square feet. New manure should never be used because It may injure the bulbs. After the topcrust of the ground is frozen, it's well to cover the bed with a 3-inch layer of straw onlng should be considered, although in pastures where chlorates have been used not a single case has been reported, according to the Town State pathologist. However, until more Is known about the effect on livestock, it is well to keep salt constantly before the animals it they are allowed to run in sprayed fields.

In no case should stock be allowed access to the solution In barrels. AROUND IOWA CANT DO THAT. Lester Orcutt, government aero- autlcs inspector, has served an ultimatum on the city of Spencer. Either the city must quit growing corn on the city airport, or Mr. Orcutt will blacklist It.

The frugal city fathers In the past have permitted corn to be planted along the runways, creating a "blind" intersection. Mr. Orcutt, who as a world war army filer has been in, and out of, all kinds of airports, says the Spencer field is the only one he knows of doing duty both as an airport and corn field. found Joan, huddled up and silently crying.

To control the four principal causes of Iowa farm fires, Giese suggests: Plugging up all holes and cracks in the chimney and flues and thoroughly checking the heating system before the fall heating season begins. Fastening an effective spark arrester to the chimney to prevent roof fires. (Good arresters can be obtained for around non- clogging type is preferable.) Checking on the moisture content of hay before putting it into the mow. In hot, dry summers, the leaves may dry rattle or drop the stems still contain a lot of moisture. Placing lightning rods on the barn and other Important exposed buildings, unless they have steel roofs that are well grounded.

Iowa at Top in U. S. In Hatchery Capacity Iowa ranks first hi the United States in the capacity of Us commercial hatcheries, reports A. D. Oderkirk, Iowa State College extension poultry marketing special- 1 1st.

Hatcheries in this state have room for 36,382,000 eggs "at one time." A survey of states to determine changes in the number and size of hatcheries has been conducted by the Department of Oderkirk explains. Fred Singer, 80 year old Sheldon resident, has an interesting hobby making of baskets. Born in Bavaria, he learned the art as a small boy in the little village of Burgersdorf, where basket-weaving was one of the principal arts. "In Germany," says Mr. Singer, "my basket-work kept me from starving.

Now I make baskets for fun, not for commercial purposes. He spends from an hour and a halt to fourteen hours on each basket, depending on its size and intricacy of design. CRAWLS.

L. Anderson, of the Animal Husbandry Department at Iowa State College.

Anderson attributes the decrease in hogging down corn to the increased use of mechanical corn pickers and the widespread planting of hybrid corn which gives a more upstanding stalk. Advantages. "Hogging down has the advantage of saving labor and the expense of harvesting and feeding," Anderson, said. "The hogs are kept on comparatively clean ground and are usually healthy. Also, the corn stalks are in better conditions for next year's crop." Disadvantages.

Disadvantages are that the land in a field hogged down may be packed by tramping, making it more difficult to till successfully the following year. Pigs that are used to hog down corn are often marketed at the months of low hog November and December. This is offset, in part, by lower production costs. Hogging down does not work so well for the two litter per year plan of hog raising, as the early farrowed spring pigs are marketed before they can harvest much corn, and the fall pigs are too small to use the corn in the field. Type Preferred.

Active pigs rather thin in flesh and of good feeder type, weighing about 100 pounds at the start, are to be preferred for hogging down. Lighter weight pigs make slower gains, require less corn but more supplement for gain and will give more gain in weight per acre of corn. Small pigs are not suited for hogging down and large pigs are apt to knock down the corn. Hogging Down Period. The hogging down period is usually not more than 60 days in length, and as bad weather sets in the pigs should be removed from the field and finished in a more favorable feeding yard or marketed.

"As the end of the hogging down period approaches it may be advantageous to restrict the range to the amount that pigs can clean up," Anderson said. "It is doubtful if this is an economical procedure if favorable weather prevails and the hogs can clean up the corn before inclement weather begins. If the season la wet or the hogs too heavy to clean! up the entire field, it may be advisable to hog down the field in sections. Forty shoats weighing from lOJj, to 150 pounds plant pathologist at 1 "Sodium chlorate Iowa State compounds are most effective In the fall when here is plenty of moistur to the chemicls deep into the roots," Sylwester sld. Itnte of Application The rate of application depends on the weed in question, ranging rom 2 pounds per square rod for quack grass to 5 or more pounds 'or bindweed, perennial pepper- grass and horse nettle.

Scattered ilants of horse nettle may also be reated individually with a teaspoonful of chlorate per plant. Chlorate may be scattered by hand is in sowing grain or by means of a gallon bucyet, perforated in the bottom and nailed to a stick, which should be shaken uniformly over he area. Work Into Soil After distribution, Sylwester says to lightly work the chemical nto the soil with a hoc or rake to reduce washing or blowing away. Avoid working the ground vigorously either before or after distribution. Spraying Spraying with sodium chlorate to control weeds is also recommended at this time.

A solution is made by dissolving 1 to 2 pounds of the dry salt in each gallon of water. "The spray should be applied in the evening or on a cool, cloudy moist day," Sylwester said. "After a rain is a good time. It is cheapest in the long run to use a pressure sprayer and see that the plants are thoroughly wetted. The weeds should not be mowed before the spray is supplied, as the more leaf surface available the more effective will be the spray." One application should sufflco for shallow-rooted weeds, such as quack grass, while the deep-rooted spurge, or blnd- require as much as four treatments.
