Chfna.s conI Fields

China's resources of coal and iron
are among the largest and most favor
ably situated in the world. The ex-
tent of the great coal fields has been
put at 100000 square miles-twice the
area of France and more than seventy
times the aggregate extent Of all the
coal fields of Britain. OF the quality
OF the deposits much has yet to be
learned, but the distinguished German
geologist, Baron Won Richtofen. report
ed many years ago that both the an
thracite and the bituminous varieties
were equal to the best produced in En-
rope. 1t is expected that very soon
Chinese coal will be delivered at far

other coal can possibly compete and
that China in consequence of this de-
Velopment will become large ex-

We realize that the grain drill locks

period ofusefulness each year Is very
short Where man Is growing twenty
Or thirty acres Of small grain, There

put SO or slG0 into a drill. Whore the
area is much larger than this we be-
lieve that In many cases 1t would be

ing great care lie taken OF the drill so
thatit may be made TO last for many
years. II certainly will not pay the
average man to buy drill and leave II

summer, fall and winter months.
Where good drill is used less seed
will be necessary In obtaining salts

difference amounts to about one peck
per acre. This Ii doubtless true, be-
cause when the drill ID used all the
grain Is covered, while on the other
hand it Is we'll known fact that quite
a significant percentage Of broadcasted
grain remains on the surface. Where
the disc drill issused 1T results In saving

the stalks have not been removed, 1t is
often possible to simply disc the sur

Ing with the disc drill. The weight of
the drill Is usually sufficient TO cut
right through surface trash, and thus
deposit the seed where ii will be Civ

It is true that instances could be cit
ed where experiments conducted at
some OF our stations show that there is
no advantage In drilling, but right
here we wish to say that many OF these
experiments are not conducted under
average farm conditions. We happen
to be very familiar with one particular
instance where the drilled grain yield
ed even less than that sown broadcast,
but In this case the soil was brought to
such d splendid condition before even the
broadcast grain was sown and the seed
bed made so perfect, that 1t might al
most be said that ideal conditions we're
supplied. Take the average farmer,
however, and you will find that there
is not the opportunity to spend very
much time on the surface, and that
therefore the grain willnot be thorough
ly covered. The drill saves labor,
saves seed, and covers the grain more
uniformly, and therefore why should 1t
not under average conditions increase
the yield?-I Iona Homestead.
