ssTheformer Siletz Indian
Reservation is a narrow stretch
of land "a miles long and IA
miles wide in Lincoln county,
and is washed by the waters OF
the Pacific. 1t was opened to
homestead entry only under q
special act of Congress. Only
three years residence was re-
-quired, instead of five, and the
payment of $3.50 an acre was
required in addition. Delegate
Dennis Flynn's Free Homes
bill, passed for the benefit of his
Oklahoma constituents, while
not so intended, was, after its
passage; found toinclude settlers
on the former Siletz Indian res
ervation, and in this way the
payment of the $3.50 an acre
was dispensed with.
"In opening the Siletz to
homestead enlry, only Congress
prevented it from being scripped
and also prevented it from being
taken under the Timber and
Stone Act by dummies of the
timber spectators. While the
opening of it under the special
homestead act exclusively was
awkward in the extreme, it was,
after all. the best, for this plan
resulted in the valuable claims
being taken in small tracts by
the poor people of the country
for their own use and benefit.

Cotton Ia. Arizona.

Cotton. has been known in Arizona
many years. Attempts to grow 1t com
mercially, however, have thus far met
with economic failure, due to absence
of concerted effort. inexperienced and
high priced labor and the belief that
with the same soil and water better
returns can usually be obtained from
other crops. Experiments carried on
in recent years have given more def
mite and favorable information con-
corning the crop in this region. A
leafet of the state experiment station
on "Cotton Growing In Arizona" pre-
sents some of this and will be useful
to prospective planters. 1t is said that
the more recent experiments point
strongly toward Egyptian cotton as
best adapted to Arizona conditions.
The climate of the Salt and Colorado
river valleys is similar to that Of
Egypt Both regions are irrigated and
are distinguished by the long growing
season. so essential to the proper ma
turing of Egyptian varieties of cotton.

In answer to inquiries as the best
method of packing aud shipping lettuce
for the New York and Boston markets
and growing lettuce for late fall trade
Country Gentleman says:
There are various packages used for
shipping lettuce to market. both to the
New York and Boston markets. The
standard package In the Boston local
market is the bushei box. which holds
about a dozen and a half heads OF
large lettuce. For general shipping
trade, however. both in New York and
Boston, the barrel is more commonly
used. This holds more or less. accord
ing to the size of the lettuce heads.
but commonly three dozen are consid-
cred a barrel. Formerly there was
used also what was called the long
box, which also held three dozen heads.
About the only way to manageN this
matter is to communicate with your
commission man or other dealer and
ask his advice. Then the best plan is
simply to adopt the package which he
finds most satisfactory to his custom
ers. 83
It would be impossible to say now
whether you could grow the lettuce
successfully for the late fall trade or
not This could be determined only by
experience. There II a fair chance OF
success. The question which is the
best variety would also have to be de-
termined somewhat by experience. but
probably May King or Black Seeded
Tennisbali would come nearest to sup
plying the demand. At any rate, this
would be the case in the Boston mar
ket and probably also In New York.
In ease you are shipping to western
markets you would dnd more satisfac-
ton In growing Grand Rapids. but
this is not accepted in the eastern mar
kets.

RIGHT FERTiLlZING.

Handsome Profits and Often Enormous
Returns Follow.
A. Goss Of Indiana reports some very
interesting data on the. use Of FER
tilizers obtained by experience during
a number of years past in the southern
part of the state. His conclusions are
Of general value, however. One OF
them is that, while occasionally soils
are found that do not respond to fer
tilizers, usually some combination has
been found that has produced hand
some profits and not infrequently enor-
nous returns. There is. for example,
no question that the application OF pot
ash in considerable quantities on muck
soil is very profitable in connection
with the growing Of corn and other
crops. 1t also seems certain that the
liberal use Of fertilizer on the potato
crop is highly profitable and that Ter
tilizer will usually pay well on the
wheat and corn crops IL used in the
proper proportions and right amounts.
The work that has been done empha-
sizes the fact, however, that in order
to secure the best results it is neces-
sary to understand the needs Of the
particular soil and crop to be used.
There is not the slightest doubt that a
large and profitable increase in crop
production could be brought about in
the state by more systematic and In
telligent use of fertilizers. 0,'>
The turning under, of .leguminous
crops was found to be the cheapest
means of supplying gains and other
nonleguminous crops with nitrogen.
Experiments with untreated rock
phosphate in comparison with acid
phosphate indicate that the untreated
phosphate is "a cheap and effective
source of phosphorus where immedi-
ate returns are not required. For
quick returns acid phosphate OF some
other readily available form should be
used" In these experiments heavy ap-
plications of rock and acid phosphate
still showed marked results after three
years.
Similar results were secured with
applications of potash, and the conclu-
sion is therefore drawn that there is
little danger of serious loss by leach
ing of either phosphorus or potassium
on ordinary Indiana soil. Nitrogen.
on the other hand, is readily washed
out and should not be applied much in
excess of what can be taken care OF
by the immediate crop"
No Injurious effect on the soil was
observed from the continued use OF
acid phosphate.

VITALITY M CORN.

sure Preduesrs,


The low average yield per acre Of
corn graphically illustrates the neces-
sity for improvement. provided 1t can
be effected with reasonable degree Of
economy. Corn is the crop chiefly con-
cerned in the maintenance and extern
sion Of our animal industries. and with
the disappearance of the range country
1t becomes Increasingly more impor-
tant from year to year. There is no
danger of the corn crop exceeding our
needs. as the past season has plainly
demonstrated. Even with the average
ordinary yields the various uses to
which corn can be put multiply out of
proportion to the increase in yield and
acreage per annum. While there Is
much uncultivated land that can be
utilized for corn. it is nevertheless true
that the areas devoted to its growth
must be kept in condition to raise maxi
mum crops if the supply is to be main
tanned at good level. not to speak OF
increasing it materially. The improve
ment Of the corn plant along rational
lines SO that the methods can be adopt
ed successfully on every farm is mat
ter of serious Importance to the future
Of our agriculture. E,t
1t Is just an important to select and
grow q pure and perfect type Of corn
as it is to select well formed hog or
perfect type OF dairy animal for breed
ing purposes. A higher per cent OF
protein. greater produetiveness and
other valuable qualities which may be
bred into corn by careful and intelii-
gent selection should greatly increase
the value Of this crop to the farmer.
Farmers have pretty generally been
accustomed to think they could pick
out good ear Of seed corn with rea-
sonable certainty. VS.. Shoesmith OF

out a good ear of corn before they are
carefully instructed and trained in the
vital points both as to desirable quail
ties and defects"
All this leads to scientific corn test
ing. While good farmers may judge
the vitality of corn with much correct
ness by it's appearance, it is maintain
ed by many who have made a study OF
this point that the termination test Is
the only accurate method of judging
vitality, for sometimes corn which ap-
pears to be Of low vitality will germi-
nate fairly well, while corn which ap-
pears to be of good vitality may not
grow at all. @ s>.f ~:

Up Against II.

Feeding hogs economically with high
priced food is what every feeder OF
swine is up against this season. 1t
will not accomplish the desired result
to cut down their rations or feed just
enough to maintain existence. They
must be fed enough to make daily
gain or there will be no profit in your
winters work. For the past ninety
days we have fed with success the fol-
lowing rations twice each day, mixing
the evening feed every morning and
the morning feed each evening. thus
letting it soak twelve to fourteen hours.
We prefer to mix with hot water, but
If not convenient we use cold water.
Into thirty-two gallon cask we put
six. pounds old process ioilmeal, ten
pounds Of wheat middlings, twenty
pounds of cornmeal. three pounds Of
salt. Mix thoroughly and fill cask full
Of water. This feeds forty head, aver
age weight 100 pounds. at cost Of N
cents per head per feed, or ~ cents
per head per day. Driving them over
the scales each week shews a daily
gain Of eight to twenty ounces per pig
per day. At noon we feed about 200
pounds of refuse cabbage. Would feed
alfalfa at noon IL we had It.. Persons
having milk to mix with the above ra-
ton can make more satisfactory gain.
Give swine dry beds, making them
comfortable In cold weather.-S. In Ma
