RURALISMS 
Trimming Arbor Vitae 
I have an arbor-vitae hedge about 700 
feet long, running from 18 to 25 feet 
high, that I desire to trim to a uniform 
height. Is this the proper time of year to 
do it. and is there any liability of injury 
to the hedge should I cut it down to 
about 15 feet? G. F. s. 
Attleboro, Mass. 
This hedge may be cut back to a uni¬ 
form height of 15 or 10 feet without much 
risk of any material damage resulting to 
the larger trees. I would not do this 
work until Spring, just about the time 
the sap begins to rise, which in your 
latitude would probably be along about 
the first of May. The severance of the 
tops of the larger trees should be done 
with a sloping cut. the wound made 
smooth and coated over with heavy 
paint, to protect it from the weather and 
prevent evaporation. K. 
Hay Fever and Weeds 
The American ITay-Fever-Prevention 
Association is working energetically for 
the extirpation of weeds that are largely 
responsible for the prevalence of this dis¬ 
ease. The two plants held especially re¬ 
sponsible are the common ragweed of the 
North, Ambrosia artemisisefolia, and the 
great ragweed of the South, A. trifida. 
Both of these are weeds which every gar¬ 
dener or farmer should destroy on general 
principles, but they are often permitted 
Wormwood Ragweed Largely Responsible 
for Hay Fever 
to grow freely along roadsides, on vacant 
lots and about the outskirts of towns and 
villages, where their irritating pollen is 
a prolific source of hay fever. 
New Orleans has conducted a vigorous 
campaign against the great ragweed, 
which grows freely in the moist lands of 
the Southern coast, both State and city 
authorities co-operating. Pictures of the 
ragweeds have been publicly displayed, so 
that citizens would become familiar with 
those plants, and the city board of health 
compelled the cutting of weeds on vacant 
lots. The great storm of September 29 
completed the work of the llay Fever 
Association by almost entirely destroying 
the great ragweed in exposed places. 
Dr. W. Soheppegrell, president of the 
American Hay-Fcver-Preventiou Associa¬ 
tion, says this is a preventible disease, 
and what has been done in New Orleans 
can be done elsewhere. Preventive work 
is especially advised in the small towns 
catering to Summer visitors. The cost 
of destroying such weeds will be repaid 
by the advertisement when it can be said 
that the town or village is free from hay 
fever. This suggests itself as a matter to 
be considered by all farmers who cater to 
Summer boarders. Weeds rob the farm, 
and in this case they may rob the Sum¬ 
mer boarder, too, and deprive a district of 
the advantages offered by scenic and cli¬ 
matic possibilities.

Yes, Get a IPJA « You 
Have to Mortgage Your Farm 
If your roof leaked would you say “I can’t afford to fix it” and let the rain go 
on damaging your home? Not by a jugful! You’d fix that roof if you had to 
borrow the money. 
Your farm without a spreader leaks profits. All the manure doesn’t reach the land and what 
does go isn’t properly spread. It misses some spots and in others is too thick. A farm with 20 head 
of cattle and horses loses enough manure value yearly to buy a spreader. 
Make your farm pay its real profit. Stop the waste of manure by the fork-and-wagon method. 
Make money with the NEW IDEA, the spreader with so many special features that it’s the ac¬ 
knowledged leader. You can load it as high as a wagon box and spread 3, 0, 9, 12, 15, 18 loads per 
acre without fear of clogging. 
The New Idea pulverizes finely and spreads more evenly than you could possibly do with a 
fork. The double cylinders take care of that. Our revolving distributor, a patented feature, spreads 
the manure seven feet wide, across three corn rows. It spreads beyond the wagon tracks and you 
don’t have to drive over spread manure. 
No Gears to Strip, Break or Freeze 
Another proof of New Idea superiority. This spreader is operated by a heavy sprocket chain. 
This saves power and is easiea on the horses. Special axle feed. Strong chain conveyor running 
over tight bottom brings every bit of manure to the cylinders. Can’t slip and won’t race going 
up hill. Wheels track, making easy going.
