County agriculturist Lee M Lampson discusses methods to control cheat in alfalfa. Harrowing or early cutting prove unsatisfactory, while sowing winter wheat in alfalfa between rows increases tonnage and prevents cheat establishment though scale of use is limited. Early fall sowing with 30 to 50 pounds per acre may root well before cold weather. overall solution remains under evaluation by Washington Experiment Station horticulturist O. M. Morris.

Sulphuring Dried Peaches for Color During Drying
Sulphur fumes are used to prevent discoloration of peaches during drying. Place fresh fruit on iron wire trays in a vented cabinet, add one to one and a half ounces of sulphur, light, close doors, and fumigate for five to fifteen minutes. One ounce usually suffices for a four by six by eight foot cabinet. The process requires careful timing and vent control.

The Bleat of the Sheep
Broad back and square shoulders are marks of a good sire. You can keep 100 sheep on fifty acres of good land. The lambs should be depended on for the principal profit. Let the ewes have the run of the cornfields after the grain is taken out. Sheep and other nervous animals should be kept as quiet as possible for best results. Handling live stock gently improves outcomes.
