TESTING TO KNOW WHEN
SOILS NEED POTASSIUM
Ynterestin9 Experiments Being "Kankokes
Marshes" Near Ndomencs. III.

For several years the University
I of Illinois has been conducting field
experiments throughout the state, for
the purpose of determining the needs
of the soil in different localities and
also for the purpose of demonstrating
to the farmers the needs of their
soils. One of these experimental
fields is near Momence and is located
on what are commonly called the
"Kankakee marshes"
The experiment is now in its fifth
year and has proved of wonderful
interest. A representative of the
Farmers Review recently visited this
field in company with Prof. Hopkins,
of the state university and a COM
mite of observation from the ILL.
nois farmers institute.
The soil is rich in nitrogen and
has fair supply of phosphorus. but
the amount of potassium contained in
It is very small. But this fact has
not prevented the farmers from ap-
plying dried blood to similar land in
the locality. Now dried blood is a
valuable fertilizer. because it is rich
in nitrogen, but it certainly cannot
affect land that has in it more nj
trogen than the crops can possibly
use.
To demonstrate this to the farmers

markable. The corn on the plot that
had received potassium stood seven
feet high and was heavily cared.
Plot No. 6 had received nitrogen
and phosphorus both. The aggre-
gate yield for four years was seven
bushels, an average annual yield Of
1A bushels.
Plot No. z had received both nitro
gen and potassium, and the yield in
four years aggregated 164 bushels, or
Al bushels per acre. It will be noted
that this combination Of potassium
and nitrogen gave less than potas.

Plot No. had received potassium

Plot No. 9 had received all three

nitrogen. The yield in four years
was 176 bushels, or "A bushels pei

The above experiments are very
striking because conducted on land

the land in that vicinity, but they will
maintain it perpetually IL these wells
are widely separated.
1t is believed that there are few 10
calities in the arid region where
enough water can not be had for the
irrigation of one to ten acres on each
section. 1t is remarkable how much
can be done with little water where
rightly used.
The irrigation of one acre on a dry
farm will make it possible to grow a
,, wind-brcak of trees around the farm

as shade in summer and one of the
best of projections against winds and
storms in winter. No range stockman

still larger list of the best vegetables
which can be produced anywhere. This

can be done in the irrigation of four

ing on the rest of his farm. These re.
turns are not exceptional. They are a
few of many similar ones gathered by
the engineers of the Office of expert.
ment stations in all parts of the semi
arid region.
In considering the relation of irriga,
ton to the dry farm we have thus
far dealt only with its value in the
complete irrigation of small part Of
his farm, but this alone leaves out Ct
account a k;Hl of irrigation which is
possible wherever storage reservoir
can be built and water held for emer.
gency use on the dry-farmed fields.
Everyone familiar with irrigation
knows what can be accomplished by a
little stored water to be applied in
times of excessive drought. 1t often
happens that a single and scanty irri.
cation will result in an abundant
yield, where there would otherwise
be complete failure. The expert.
ment station at Saltwater, Okla, is
building a reservoir for this kind of
emergency use. The station is carry.
ing on experiments in the breeding of
drought-resistant varieties of corn. 1t
always has to face the possibility of a
year of such excessive drought that

Food Given to the Worm Does Away
With Need Of Dyes.
European newspapers have been dis
cussing the results Of the experiments
made by M. Levrah in affecting silk
worms by coloring their food SO that
the cocoons could be made to yield
colored silk, thu sobviating the neces.
sity Of the dyer's work in giving hue
to the silk in the thread or piece. In
experimenting in this work the object
was to discover if possible why some
breeds Of silk worms produce white
silk while others produce yellow or q
yellowish green silk. The experiments
showed that the natural coloring mat.
ter of the cocoons was identical with
the coloring matter found in the
leaves. 1t was therefore logical to be.
lieve that the color of the silk must
originate in the chlorophyl of the
leaves fed to the worms.
Then the experiments which fo,
lowed. undertaken to test this hypoth.
esis. prove that coloring matter in.
troduced into the intestfnes of worm
by means of food may under certain
conditions reach the silk through the
blood. The coloring matter to cross

Leaving out of account fruit-growing
sections like the Santa Clara valley in
California, the foundation of the dry
farm should be mixed husbandry in
which stock raising is the leading fea-
ture. Many of the drought-resistant
crops are for forage. The experience
of the Sacramento valley has dem
onstrated that grain can not be grown
continuously. There must be some pro-
vision for restoring fertility to the soil.
Furthermore, many of these farms will
always be remote from markets, and
live stock can be shipped to better ad.
vantage than grain or hay. Poultry is
one of the most profitable products of
the western farm, and chickens and
turkeys will pay as well in dry years
as in wet ones.
The dry farm should have a larger
acreage than either the irrigated or
humid farm. There should be land
enough to provide summer pasturage
for stock, and, as it takes from ten to
100 acres of native grass to support
an animal, this summer pasture must
of itself be larger than the cultivated
farm in many sections. With live stock
as foundation and with alfalfa. veg
etables. and fruit grown by irrigation,
the dry-farmed portion will insure
large crops in wet years and render
