CARING FOR GANS
PREPARE CORN LAND IN THE SOUTHEAST
ADAPTED TO SOUTH ATLANTIC STATES.
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
Nothing will do more to economize
the labor of tilling corn land and to
prolong the good effects of tillage than
the presence of an ample quantity of |
humus In the soil, says Farmers’ Bul-
letin 729, of the U. 8S. department of
agriculture, which deals with corn cul-
ture In the Southeastern states. All
land, the bulletin points out, intended
for the profitable cultivation of corn |
should be stocked with humus as soon
as possible. This can be accomplished
by growing as preparatory crops le-
gumes such as cowpeas, velvet beans,
vetch, the clovers and beggarweed. By
the use of such crops and the incor-
poration through this means of vege-
table matter, the capacity of the soil |
fo hold moisture is much increased |
and, In addition, a part or all of the
nitrogen necessary for the corn is ob-
state of cultivation, at first only that
part which previously has been broken
may be turned and the rest of the
depth loosened with the subsoil plow.
This will be most efficient when It is
made to follow in the furrow of the
turnplow. In succeeding seasons the
land may be turned deeper, the in-
tity of vegetable matter incorporated
| in the course of the last preparation.
When a soil of the required depth has
| been established the turnplow may be
run from 6 to 8 inches deep and the
subsoil plow only as often as seems
| necessary to prevent the formation of
a compact layer.
| Plowing is best done when samples
| of the soil crumble readily in the hand.
This condition, however, frequently
does not last long enough for all of
{ the land to be prepared. By thorough-
‘ly pulverizing the surface with

in this connection, but in the cotton |

farms that the supply of manure is in-

Another factor of great importance
in enlarging the capacity of the soil for

is plowed. The most advantageous

DIFFICULT JOB FOR FARMER
Dairy Division of Department of Agri-
culture Points Out Advantages of
Having This Work Performed
by Dealers.
(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
In justice to the farmer, milk dealers
should give considerable attention to
the question of washing the cans be-
fore they are returned. If the cans
are allowed to go back unwashed to
the farmer, it Is a very difficulty task
for him, with his limited facilities, to
clean them.
In a circular letter recently sent to
milk dealers by the dairy division of
the departmert, i. was pointed out
that bacterial counts made from cans
which had been washed and rinsed in
the ordinary manner showed that there

If 10 gallons of milk were

—If Land Is Not Worth Draining

Air drainage is as essential as soil

hills where crops and fruit suffer late |
in the spring and early in the fall from
the ravages of the frost despot. On
low lands there also seems to be places
which frost apparently avoids at un-

These specialists also say that even

Several Good and Substantial
Reasons for Condemning
Practice of Piling It.
H. T. FRENCH, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
A common practice in farming sec-
tlons is still followed, that of hauling
manure from the yards and stables to
the field, and instead of scattering the
manure, placing it in piles. There are
several reasons why this should not be
done; first, it offers a breeding place
(By
mice and other vermin. Second, and
more important, there is a consider-
able loss in the effect of the manure
by leaching and unequal distribution
of its fertilizing ingredients.
Wherever the piles are made the
ground will receive more than its share
of the fertilizer and other portions will
not get a fair show. It Is a mistaken
notion that much of the fertilizing
value will escape in the alr if the ma-
nure is spread at once. The soil will
catch
