Girls and "Old NInidso

Never sneer, girls, at an unhappy
odd maid" Once she was very likely
just as sweet and young and sunny
hearted as yourselves. But she missed
the road which may, perhaps, lead you
to a sweetheart and a prospect of mar
ried happiness. OF course, she was
wrong to turn sour.
To brood over things that cannot be
helped Is weak-spirited. There are
many roses to be gathered in the gar
den of life over and beyond the ro-
nance belonging to men and maids
Success and. happiness can be won by
any girl of to-day, even IL nobody
comes to WOO, But neither is likely to
come to the girl who. when love fails
her, sits down rs weep and wall over a
marriage.

BARE SUMMER FALLOW.
Agricultural College Makes interest

NSFiCuituFaI SoHeSe wakes interest

By A. L. Knisely Oregon Agricultural College
/ In taking walk over the farm at the
Oregon Agricultural college, looking fol
interesting and instructive object les.
sons, there may be seen north of the
old barn and just to the south of the
path leading to the orchard, an enclos.
ure containing some very interesting
experiments. This enclosure contains
an oblong box probably ten feet long,
three feet wide and three feet deep. In
this box are installed four galvanized
iron tanks or pots, each holding APPROX
imately 500 pounds of soil. Each. pot
is provided with a drainage spout SO
that all water lea' hing through the soil
in these pots may be collected and
measured and analysed.
Many farmers practice bare summer
fallow ard the question often aris4 as
to the go d or bad effects arising from
this practice.
Should the practice of bare summer
fallow be discouraged? 1t was for the
purpose of answering this question that
these experiments in thu galvanized
iron pots were started.
In 1900 all pots were filled with the
same soil thoroughly mixed so that
each pot was iden ,ical with tine others
Since that time part of the pots have
been bare summer fallowed, whilst 9th.
ers have been growing crops, usually of
grain. The teachings. from each pot
during the rainy season have been care
fully saved and analysed with the result
that invariably the teaching from the
bare summer fallow pots carried from
two to over six times as much nitrogen
as did the teachings from the pots that
had not been bare summer fallowed.
The first few weeks of teachings in the
fall carry most of the soluble nitrate
nitrogen. The amount of nitrogen
leached out of the soil in one month in
the fall was equivalent to approximate.
ly pounds per acre in soil not summer
fallowed and over 40 pounds per acre
where the soil had been thoroughly
summer fallowed.
From the plant food point of view
bare summer fallow cannot be recon-
mended.
Summer fallow aerates the soil, con-
serves moisture and oxidizes the organ
ic matter of the soil, converting much
of the organic nitrogen first into ammo
mia compounds and then into nitrate
nitrogen; that is. into form which cas-
lily teaches from the soil and is lost to
the farmer, whilst organic nitrogen does
not readily leach out of the soil. At
times bare summer fallow may be de
sirable but usually it is to be con.
demned.

BRCOME GRASS.
Director of Experiment Station Says
II Has Been Overdone.
denned.

By H. T. French, Director Experiment Station
| Moscow, Idaho.
In response to numerous INQUIRIES
regarding out experiences with Bromut
inermis, take occasion to present the
following brief account of the results
thus far attained on the experiment sta.
ton farm.
Broome grass has been growing on
the farm in small plats, and in pasture
fields, for six or seven years. Where
it has been allowed to stand unmolested
it has. produced dense sod, and COM
paratively little growth after the second
or third year.
Where it has been re.seeded, or the
ground disturbed by narrowing, it has
made a much better growth. Around
the borders of fields where the land is
cultivated the growth is rank and coarset
My opinion of broome grass is, tina.
1t has been somewhat overestimated Cor
general use; but that it has a place as
grass to be used in out-of-the-way
places, where it can not, on account of
the nature of the soil, form dense sod.
Such place would be found on stony
land, or rocky hill sides.
1t will produce one or two good crops
on farm lands, then it should be either
plowed up and crop of grain taken
off, or else given a good discing to pre-
vent its forming such a dense sod.
This grass, like most of the others, will
do best on rich moist land; but at the
same time will Withstand severe
drought, if the sod does not become too
dense.
All kinds of stock seem to relish eth
er the grass or hay made from it if it is
cut early.

Wheat i'm tho Cotton Belt.

The first week In November is early
| enough to SOW wheat throughout the
middle portion of the cotton belt. This
crop often succeeds well sown as late
as Dec. 1, provided the conditions shall
be favorable for termination for two
weeks after sowing (not too cold and
wet). Land covered with a thick
growth Of grass or other vegetation is
not considered the best condition for
wheat, for the reason that wheat likes
compact, smooth surface soil. Turn
your land well, then harrow, then roll
with heavy roller, then SOW the seed
A one or one and half ton roller run
over a freshly plowed surface once or
twice will compact the three or four
inches Of surface SOIL The wheat seed
should then be put in with regular
wheat drill, says Southern authority.
I would not apply less than 400 pounds
of fertilizer per acre and would prefer
800 to 600 pounds unless the land be
already rich. recommend this for
mula: Two hundred pounds acid phos-
phate, 400 pounds of cottonseed meal
and 80 pounds Of muriate of potash
per acre, supplemented with, top
dressing Of 90 to rs pounds of nitrate
of soda in March If the appearance Of
the plants seem to indicate the need
Of more nitrogen.-Exchange.

The milking Is one of the most I'M

kicks. If she kicks there is some cause
for 1t. Look for the cause and remedy
1t. 1t may be sore teat, 1t may be an
inf1amed udder or 1t may be that she
has been misused and regards her milk

such is the case, treat her kindly and
she will soon learn that you are not

Spraying Potatoes,

Careful potato growers can no longer
doubt the advantages Of spraying in
"blight" years; but some doubt whether
the practice is profitable year after
year. Tests along this line have been
continued for five years by the Expert
ment Station at Geneva; and the evil
dence presented In Bulletin No. 200,
giving details of the fifth years test
and summaries of preceding ones, seems
conclusive in favor of the practice.
The gain each year has been profitable;
and there is already much more than
enough excess of gain over cost to pay
for spraying five years more. Similar
gains, though not quite 80 great, were
obtained by farmers under tests care
fully checked by the station and by
much larger number of farmers who
sprayed independently.
