Crop  for  Quack-infested  Land 
I  have  a  piece  of  land,  plowed  last  Fall, 
which  is  full  of  quack  grass.  Do  you  ad¬ 
vise  keeping  it  well  harrowed  till  June 
and  then  sowing  to  oats  and  peas,  or 
will  it  be  better  sowed  with  buckwheat? 
Bovina,  N.  Y.  e.  r.  m. 
Buckwheat  is  the  better  crop  for  such 
work.  It  will  make  a  quick,  rank  growth, 
and  will  smother  out  the  quack  grass,  if 
anything  can  do  it.  We  never  had  much 
success  with  oats  and  peas  planted  in 
June.  That  is  usually  too  late  for  best 
results  with  either  crop.  A  thick  seed¬ 
ing  with  buckwheat  will  be  more  satis¬ 
factory. 
More  About  Poison  Ivy 
May  I  add  a  -  warning  to  your  advice 
about  exterminating  poison  ivy,  page 
586?  _  The  greatest  caution  should  be 
exercised  in  burning  this  pest,  as  the 
smoke  or  fumes  affect  the  eyes  in  such 
a  way  as  to  constitute  the  worst  form  of 
“poisoning.”  Never  burn  even  a  scrap 
indoors,  either  in  the  stove  or  the  fire¬ 
place.  I  once  suffered  a  week  of  agoniz¬ 
ing  semi-blindness  from  this  cause,  and  I 
know.  In  another  case,  where  an  old 
apple  tree,  infested  with  ivy,  was  used 
for  firewood,  a  whole  family  was  disabled. 
If  burned  in  the  open,  avoid  the  smoke 
with  its  subtle  exhalation  as  you  would 
TNT.  The  vines  are  sometimes  disposed 
of  by  laying  them  on  top  of  a  stone  wall 
or  stone  heap,  where  they  dry  out  and  lose 
their  dangerous  properties. 
The  “profuse  bathing  with  strong  soap¬ 
suds  of  laundry  soap  as  hot  as  can  be 
borne”  is  most  effective,  if  used  as  a  pre¬ 
ventive  measure  immediately  after  ex¬ 
posure.  Last  year  my  boy,  who  is  sus¬ 
ceptible  to  the  poison,  had  a  job  which 
brought  him  into  close  contact  -with  a 
thicket  of  ivy.  The  moment  he  came  in 
I  scrubbed  his  face  and'  neck,  hands  and 
arms  with  the  hot  suds,  and  he  never 
developed  a  blister.  r.  f.  d. 
Repellant  for  Squirrels 
I  should  like  to  get  some  advice  on 
planting  walnuts.  I  have  planted  a  good 
many,  but  the  squirrels  get  most  of  them. 
I  thought  that  tar  might  do,  but  am  not 
certain  about  it.  c.  H.  E. 
Casnovia,  Mich. 
If  you  used  tar  you  might  be  successful 
one  year  and  have  all  the  seeds  killed  the 
next.  In  a  wet  year  tar  compounds  are 
dangerous  iu  the  neighborhood  of  seeds, 
and  one  never  can  tell  in  advance  whether 
the  year  will  be  wet  or  not.  Why  not 
try  a  little  tobacco  dust?  Scatter  a 
spoonful  or  two  over  the  surface  just 
above  the  seed  and  scratch  a  little  of  it 
in.  The  tobacco  dust  will  act  as  a  fer¬ 
tilizer  in  addition.  h.  b.  t.

More  About  Hairy  Vetch 
S.  Y\  .  P.  asks  about  Ilairy  vetch  for 
pasture  or  forage  to  'be  sown  in  the 
Spring,  on  page  555,  and  the  answer  is 
that  it  should  be  sown  in  the  Fall  This 
is  not  the  way  we  raise  it  for  fodder  in 
TSorthern  New  York.  I  sow  it  at  the 
l  atf  2f  ?  10.  lbs.  per  acre  in  the  oats, 
and  find  that  it  will  furnish  about  one 
ton  of  good  hay  in  addition  to  the  other 
My—J  unothy  and  clover.  I  only  sow  it 
in  the  F  all  when  it  is  to  make  seed.  Then 
I  mix  it  with  rye  and  cut  the  two  to¬ 
gether  with  a  binder. 
We  use  it  here  in  Northern  New  York 
as  hay  insurance.  When  the  clover  kills 
out,  the  vetch  is  right  there.  Likewise, 
v  hen  it  is  unfavorable  in  the  Spring  and 
early  Summer  and  it  is  difficult  to  get  a 
stand  of  clover,  the  vetch,  having  large 
seeds,  will  make  a  stand.  The  last  ad¬ 
vantage  over  other  legumes  is  that  it  does 
not  require  much  lime.  I  have  now  a 
piece  of  20  acres  sown  last  Spring.  The 
land  is  very  sandy,  and  clover  does  poorly 
on  it.  This  is  just  the  sort  of  land  that 
the  vetch  does  well  on.  The  hay  is  itself 
'  ery  fine,  and  better  than  Alfalfa,  pound 
tor  pound.  I  have  never  pastured  it,  but 
should  think  it  would  furnish  good  pas¬ 
ture.  I  have  some  sweet  clover  in  the  20- 
acre  piece  mentioned  above,  and  intend  to 
PasTre  i,fc  after  the  first  crop  of  hay  is 
otr  but  the  pasture  wilL  be  Siveet  clover, 
not  vetch.  I  should  not  pasture  it  in  the 
t  a  ulm  ess  growth  were  pretty  rank. 
jat  case  5t  tends  to  seed  in  the  Fall 
and  die  out,  and  hence  a  little  pasturing 
would  be  good  for  it.  a.  h.  de  graff.

Storing  Chinese  Cabbage 
Can  you  advise  me  as  to  the  proper 
care  and  storage  of  pe-tsai,  or  Chinese 
cabbage,  for  late  Fall  and  Winter  mar¬ 
keting.’'  E.  H  T 
Baldwinsville,  N.  Y. 
Chinese  pe-tsai  should  be  sown  in  rows 
2  tt.  apart  about  July  15.  When  thev 
come  up  let  the  strongest  plants  stand 
about  lo  m.  apart.  As  soon  as  the  frosts 
are  severe  pull  up  plants,  leaving  all  the 
earth  possible  on  roots,  and  store  in  a 
barn,_  cellar  or  hotbed  pits.  Keep  them 
freezing,  but  give  plenty  of  air  w  p 
A  Ford  Story  from  Texas 
What  bad  roads  and  low  speed 
taught  this  hustling  salesman 
A  SALESMAN  in  Greenville,  Texas,  travels  for  one 
of  the  big  tire  companies.  In  much  of  his  territory 
the  roads  are  unusually  poor.  Occasionally  he  must 
travel  for  miles  in  low  speed.  He  used  to  burn  out  a 
bearing  about  every  two  months. 
Every  eight  months  his  employers  found  it  necessary 
to  replace  his  used  Ford  with  a  new  one. 
In  1921  another  new  Ford  roadster  was  given  him. 
Then  this  salesman  began  to  use  Gargoyle  Mobiloil 
“E.” 
“E”  won — as  usual. 
After  one  year  with  “E,”  he  reports:  The  car  has  run 
appi  oximately  26,000  miles.  Not  a  single  bearing  has 
been  replaced.  Not  a  single  spark  plug  has  been  re¬ 
moved. 
And  the  cost  of  lubrication  has  been  cut  to  a  third  of 
what  it  was  on  his  former  car. 
i.i 
The  unusual  growth  in  the  use  of  Gargoyle  Mobiloil 
E  throughout  the  whole  country  means  only  one 
thing:  The  proof  of  the  oil  is  the  using! 
W  hile  your  engine  is  warm, draw  off  your  old  oil  and  re¬ 
fill  with  the  proper  amount  of  Gargoyle  Mobiloil  “E.”

dealer— for  the  booklet,  “Your  Ford — Four  Economies 
in  its  Operation.” 
For  the  differential  of  Ford  cars 
use  Gargoyle  Mobiloil  “CC”  or 
Mobilubricant  as  specified  by  the 
Chart  of  Recommendations. 
Tractor  Lubrication 
The  correct  engine  lubricant  for  the 
FORDSON  TRACTOR  is  Gargoyle  Mo¬ 
biloil  “BB”  in  summer  and  Gargoyle 
Mobiloil  A”  in  winter.  The  correct  oil 
for  all  other  tractors  is  specified  in  our 
Chart.  Ask  for  it  at  your  dealer’s.
