TWO BARLEY LEAF DISEASES
Blights, Commonly Called Rust, Has
Appeared In Many Sections In
Past Two Seasons.
(By WALTER B. L.EUTZ.)
During the past two seasons there
oas appeared in many sections a
widespread disease on barley, com
monly called rust, but in no way re
lated to this disease. It is caused by
an Imperfect fungus.
There are two forms of these leaf
spot diseases of the barley, one an
early blight which has been desig
nated as "the yellow leaf disease."
The yellow leaf disease appears
early during the season. This Is
a.?Barley leaf affected by "late
blight." b.?Barley leaf affected by
"yellow leaf disease." c.?Blade of
:orn affected by this fungus.
characterized by yellowish longitud
inal stripes alternating with darker
lines. This is transmitted by the
seed.
The late barley blight causes brown
spots of irregular outline, and occurs
on the leaves, glumes nnd seed. The
leaves are easily broken up and com
pletely destroyed In some cases.
There are many species of this fun
gus on grasses, and one occurs on the
leaves oi corn, sometimes doing mucl
Injury.
CORN CRIB IS MADE MOVABLE
Serviceable Building May Be Con
structed Out of Old Barrel Staves
? Keeps Grain Dry.
(By K. G. STEIN.)
A good movable corn crib may bo
ouilt of barrel staves, that Is the
walls, the roof of lap siding or any
kind of roofing you want.
For the side walls use two lengths
of staves and run a pole on the mid
dle, as shown In the cut, to nail the
staves on and run the two rods
through the middle of the crib, one
through polos and one through plates.
The size of the crib is according to
how much com you raise.
The walls must slant out a little
toward the top, as this will keep out
the rain better. The floor Is tight.
This kind of a crib Is quite cheap
and may be built of small poles nailer1

Such a crib keeps the corn In good
condition. It dry* quickly and keeps
dry all the year around, which is not
possible for corn kept in a tight gran
ary where it molds and spoils at once.
IN REPAIRING A DIRT ROAD
Few Little Hints That Will Tend to
Make Work of Fixing Up
Highway Easier.
In repairing a drrt road:
Don't fill up the holes nnd ruts In
the dirt road with brush, with rocks
on top, and a little dirt to cover the
rocks; but fill up the hole with dirt
of the same character as the balance
of the road.
Don't throw all the refuse from the
ditches Into the middle of the toad,
thus softening the surface and de
stroying the solid, firm bed that you
have obtained by previous work; but
throw this material out on the op
poslte ride of the ditch.
Don't leave the center of the road
the lowest point; but make It the
highest and give the surface of the
road a slope of about 1 In 20 to the
side ditch.
Don't carry the water across the
surface of the road from one side to
the other; but carry It by means o'
culverts underneath the road.
Onions In Winter.
To keep onions over winter put then
In a dry location, such as a barn loft,
and spread them on the floor or on
shelves in thin layers. If they should
happen to freeze It will not damage
them provided they are not disturber!
