WHAT MANURE DID
FOR ONE FARM
BY PROF. HARRY SNYDER.

My attention was recently called to
a farm in Dakota county, Minnesota,
where, when the country was being
settled, strip of apparently poor
land was passed over as worthless for
grain production. Later it was home
steaded by a settler who came in a
one-horse outfit. Instead of raising
grain, this man started in on small
scale to feed live stock. Screenings
and grain could be obtained for the
hauling. The manure was judiciously
used and the soil responded to this
method of farming. In few years
upon this apparently poor soil larger
crops were produced than upon the
surrounding wheat lands. To-day it
is one of the most productive farms
in the county, and it's fertility is the
result of farm manure.
Farm manures are valuable be-
cause they add new stores of fertility
to the soil. They change the inactive
plant food to more available forms
through the production of humates
which are utilized by crops as foods.
They improve the physical properties
of soils, make them warmer, more
responsive to cultivation, and regulate
the water supply for crop growth.
They add to the permanent crop pro.
ducing power of the soil and regulate
the supply OF plant food by causing
disintegration and other changes to
take place. They aid in producing
forage crops which contain the largest
amount OF protein and other available
nutrients. MANFRED lands produce
not only larger but more valuable
crops.

folds. The larva does its greatest
damage by eating the lining surface
of it's abode.
The larvae cannot be reached very
easily by poisons, so the only prac.
teal way of combating this species is
to scatter straw over the vines, after
the berries are gathered, and burn it.
If done early enough this will not
damage the vines.

in his experience with sheep, and II II
can be done there 1t can be accom-
plished here also with like good man
agement: Three years ago he put
$4,000 into 1929 sheep. For two
years the wool paid little more than
the running expenses of the aunder
taking, says the Dakota Farmer, but
the flock increased rapidly, and this
alone proved good profit Last year
the wool brought $1,000 more than the
expenses, and to this he added 5000
for mutton sold. The total value oil
the sheep at the present time, plus
the profit on wool and mutton,
amounts to $12.400, or q net profit Of
So, 400 on a $4,000 investment for three
years. Judging from the talk we hear
among the farmers OF the Dakotas
there is going to be whole lot more
Of this kind Of thing done during the
coming years, and not far distant ones
