MATERIALS FOR COMPOST
NOW GOING TO WASTE.

It would naturally be thought that
the day had gone by when any farm
er would burn up straw and other
like material to get rid OF it That
the practice Is still with US Is doubt
less fact, though we believe that
every year the number Of farmers
that thus dispose Of surplus material
decreases Certainly this year there
are very few farmers that have any
kind OF fodder beyond their needs.
Where a farmer has a barnyard and
a surplus straw stack there Is no rea-
son why the two cannot be brought
together, providing always that the
straw cannot be fed out. We have
heard this winter of barnyard in an
exceedingly filthy condition. while
Just outside of the yard was a pile
Of such material going to waste in
the elements. 1t would have been
small matter to throw the forage over
the fence and turn 1t over to the
tramping of cattle. The straw and
the manure would have been soon
mixed. In few months that same
straw would be humus and ready to
go onto the land. II muck be also
obtAiuable SO much the better.
WHY FARMERS SHOULD
STAY ON THE FARM.
1t 10 for the interest of the general
farming community that the owners
of farms continue to reside on them.
The mania for moving to town and
rusting out what remains of life IL
very destructive to good farms and
good farming methods. This policy
seems to be Of comparatively recent
birth in the United States. and we
hope 1t will have It's run quickly. We
have heard q great deal about how to
keep the boy on the farm, but we wish
some one would tell US how to keep
the old man on the farm. When a
good farmer quits farming and moves
out of community Of good farmers
he lnfiicts great injury on that 10
cality. He makes life less endurable
to those that are left. A locality given
up to tenant farming can hardly be q
prosperous one. Every farm is thence
forth compelled to carry double. Let
the old men remain on the farms and
improve them till their homasteads
are illustrious examples of what good
farming can accomplish. Shall the
farms be allowed to 60 to decay? Ten
ant farming will help to run them
down. The eyes of the owners are
needed to keep ther, up.
roo MUCH IRRIGATION
HURTS WESTERN LANDS.
Word comes from the West that
some farmers are running their lands
by over-irrigating them. The land
should be given the water 1t needs and
NO more. That applies to the humid
as well as to the arid states. The
constant downward movement of wa.
ter teaches the fertility out of the up-
per soil where 1t is available and car.
ries it into portion of the soil where
1t is not available. In years of moder-
ate rain the fertility works toward the
surface of the soil. while in years of
heavy rain it works away from the
surface. II too much water Is applied
in irrigation q great deal OF the fer
tility is carried to subterranean chan.
nels or to surface streams. II lust
enough water is used there is little
surplus to drain away and most of the
fertility carried down into the sub
stratas is subsequently brought back.
