with ease, while I have found it neces¬ 
sary to fairly live with the seedlings. 
Considering the labor expended in 
lighting the weeds in getting a bed started 
from seed, I have come to the conclusion 
that the method is quite impracticable on 
a large scale, and should be discouraged 
rather than recommended to your readers. 
One advantage of planting asparagus seed 
is that you are relieved for the Summer 
of the trouble of pruning your linger 
nails. 
This Summer we have an abundance 
of farm products in this section, but. the 
prices of everything are so low we have 
trouble even in giving away apples, pota¬ 
toes, sugar corn, etc. n. s. p.

Damp Wheat in Mow 
I had three loads of wheat hauled in 
when the wet spell came and stopped us. 
After the wet Weather was over we 
started to haul again, and as I climbed 
into the mow t noticed a wet: sheaf. I 
took it up and found the one underneath 
it a little damp. This came* from a le.ak 
in the barn roof. Then they got to 
throwing off wheat, and when I got to 
that sheaf 1 forgot to take it out. What 
is your opinion of this? The wheat all 
around it is perfectly dry. Do you think 
that one sheaf would heat .any? J have 
a lot of wheat in that mow ordered for 
seed, and I want, to be very careful of 
it. Would that, sheaf spoil any of the 
others around it, and when we thrashed, 
if we happened to miss throwing that 
sheaf out. would it. spoil any of the seed? 
Maryland. n. e. c. 
If all the other wheat is perfectly dry 
the moisture of that single bundle would 
be absorbed and would hardly produce 
any damage. I cannot think that so 
small a moist piece would produce dam¬ 
aging heating in the mow. Any stored 
grain in the sheaf will have for a time a 
higher temperature than outside, no mat¬ 
ter how dry it may have appeared. That, 
is inevitable. But heating that would 
cause damage can hardly be expected 
from a single wet sheaf. w. F. M.
