Farmers Should BE Preparing for

The frightening days and the ap-
preaching close Of winter bring to
the forefront the necessity for rrepar-

many farmers plans have long since
been laid, and the division Of crops
well outlined In mind. The staples, III
Guiding cereals and hay, are accepted
as a matter of course. Yet right here
many of the business men on II
farms arc considering the advisability
Of devot!ng less ground and less at

more Of s%pecialties. Low prices for
c0arse grains have been di~scouraging.
Many q farmer west of the Missouri
river does not like to contemplate an

Iaapr0ving Unproductive Black Soils
All over the corn belt are to be found
low areas Of black soil, known as
''bogus land" or incorrectly called
''alkali," which are usually too wet to
grow corn. Analysis has shown them
to be rich in plant food. The difficulty
in producing crops arises from bad
drainage and a failure to reduce the
water level to the proper point, but
when this is done they are very pro-
ductiye, and will stand drouth ad-
mirably. For corn the permanent
water level should be at least AZ inches
below the surface, for a permanent
water level Of 80 inches permits but
little corn to be raised. OF course the
permanent Improvement Of such lands
depends upon effective drainage. This
drainage will usually be of a special
kind, requiring careful surveys on
which to base methods. Purdue ex-
pertinent station bulletin 81 (La
Fayette, Ind describes these lands and
their treatment 1t shows that covering
such land about three inches thick
with short wheat straw and blowing
under the same, lightens up the soil 50
that it will temporarily raise good
crops Of corn. Such an application Of
straw in 1892 has given a net increase
Of A bushels of sound corn per acre
for four years. Similar land that re-
ceived a ton of low-grade potash saltS
(known as kainit, containing IL per
cent of actual potash balance mostly
salt soda and lime) has yielded an in
crease Of 81 bushels per acre for four
years, showing q very handsome profit.
The kainit was sown broadcast and
