BETTER TILLAGE DID IT.

What can be accomplished by the
mere fact of thorough cultivation OF
the soil has been brought to the writ
ers attention very forcibly during the
past few weeks. A fifty or sixty acre
field belonging to a farm which has
been share rented for the past twenty
years and hence gradually robbed OF
it's fertility-for it has not been manur-
ed or replenished with clover-was
given a deep plowing and this year
planted to corn. Prior to this year the
field had been sort Of an agricultural
byword, little being expected of it and
as little being realized from 1t. Ih1s
season, however. different tactics were
followed. The field was put in good
tilth as a seed bed, good seed planted
and a good stand Of corn secured.
During the growing season it was cul-
tivated thoroughly five times. Inc
result was an eye opener. MOI only
did this handling result in a good
growth of stalks which were well ear
ed. but so mellow was the surface
kent that the crop was able to Wltn-
stand protracted dry weather IN mucn
better shape than richer and heavier
land which was not so well titled, not
withstanding it had coarse gravel
subsoil. A lot of farmers who have
driven past this field have been won
dering what magic was used on 1t. 1t
was Just matter Of cultivation OF the
soil which unlocked its possibilities. In
spite of the fact that its fertility was
badly depleted The same cultivation.
coupled with manure and clover. would
accomplish even better results. These
three things ought to be tried on thou
sands of farms through the cotton'
corn and small grain belts.

NEEDED INocULATIoN,

An Illinois farmer who sowed four
teen acres to alfalfa last year had an
experience which might be a help to
some of his fellows. He sowed the
seed in the spring and did not take
the precaution to inoculate the soil
with bacteria laden soil from an old
alfalfa field or sweet clover patch.
The field WAS a complete failure eX
cept for d quarter of an acre, on which
the alfalfa grew luxuriantly. He was
at loss to understand this, but after
doing considerable thinking he remem-
bered that some thirty-fve years be-
fore his father had attempted to grow
some alfalfa (then caller lucerne) on
this particular spot While the stand
was not very good. enough of it de
veloped to moculate the soil with the
necessary bacterial life. 1t is more
than likely that many a failure with
alfalfa is traceable to paying no atten-
tion To the matter of soil incubation.
The high prices which have prevail
ed for small grains for the past two
years have caused a good many more
farmers to stack their grain than for
many years past, due to their desire
to hold it and not market it with
rush as soon as thrashed. This will
result in brighter and better quality
Of grain which of itself will fetch a
higher price than that badly discol-
ored More than this. the stacking of
the grain has made possible good prog
ress in the plowing Of the stubble and
the heading Off Of scad OF weeds In
next years fields.

A plain spoken friend Of the writer,
in referring to the practice of those on
a rural party telephone line in taking
down their receivers and listening to
conversations when their neighbors'
ring sounded. dubbed it as 'harkin' on
the line" Not infrequently telephone
patron will not hear a call distinctly
and will thus unwittingly overhear
conversation that does not concern
him. There is excuse for this, but
mighty little for the practice which
prevails in some sections where from
two to half dozen receivers are taken
down every time a ring is given for
some other patron on the line. Those
who have got the habit of "harkin on
the line" probably have given the prac-
tice little scrutiny, but in the last anal
ysis it is akin to siding up to two peo-
pie engaged in private conversation
on the street for the purpose of over
hearing what they may have to say or
secreting oneself behind door or un-
der a window to hear conversations
not concerning him In the least. 1t
makes matters no better that the Of
fender cannot be detected, but rather
the more disgusting and small. Where
it develops into habit it Is an abject
admission of insufficiency and poverty

While it is true that a tract set apart
as an orchard should not be turned
into hog lot, it is nevertheless worth
remembering that it is real benefit to
the trees and results in fruit that is
free from worms If a drove Of hogs
can be given the range of the orchard
for three or four hours day from the
time when the windfall apples begin
to litter the ground. These drops are
usually wormy. and the worms are de-
stroyed when the apples are con-
sumed. When the drops reach a mer-
chantable size the hogs may be kept
out Of the orchard until after harvest,
when there will be considerable more
stuff they viii clean up. Besides
cleaning up the apples and destroying
a lot OF worms, they Will also devour
a good many grubs and insects Of one

A Pennsylvania farmer we heard OF
the other day very effectively solved
the problem of loosening UP the clay
hardpan soil of long cropped field by
sowing the field in the spring with
seed of the long horn turnip and ploW-
ing the whole crop under in August
He found that the long taproots OF
the turnip had penetrated the hard soil
to foot or more. and when the roots
decayed the field was very effectively
perforated. making possible ready
circulation Of air and moisture. AL
falfa performs a similar service In
loosening the soil, but the turnips get
action in a much shorter time.

from Galveston bay last year which

was owing to the fact that it was
