Of bright red spltzenburg apples which
should have the word Martin" ap

letters. The grower secured this re-
suit by pasting the word cut In paper
on the cheek of the apples just before
the fruit began 10 turn red. At pick
Ing time these stencils or the diverse
Of stencils were removed and the fruit
carefully packed 1t Is fair to assume
that the process was tedious one and
that the grower got a fancy price for

Why Can Not We Do Such Things :?

1CAI T ONE OF the Maryland Institutes the other
~ day | was talking with Ohio farmer
49, who is on the lecture force there this win
ter. lie has 200 acres, and said that he has II
horses and colts and feeds / 500 lambs on alfalfa
every winter for the spring market. He made
last summer 100 bushels OF corn per acre His
land is the fat heavy clay OF Northern Ohio and
he has had to underdrain 1t. and has laid eighteen
miles OF tiles that 900 acres. But is II any
wonder that he has made his land rich? He grows
alfalfa and buys range lambs from the West and
feeds the alfalfa 10 them. and has made such u
reputation for his yearling lambs that he gets an
extra price for them In the spring. And what
pile OF the finest manure he gets from 500 sheep
and thirteen horses and colts,
When will the Southern farmers realize the
value OF forage growing and manure-making? The
Western range lambs can be as proftably or more
proataby. fed In the South than In Ohio. We can
raise more hay per acre. owing to rainfall and
long season. than Ohio can. We can feed the
lambs rs probably on cowpeas hay IA on alfalfa
and while a patch OF alfalfa is valuable. can
grow more feed In the same time with less cost
by using the cowpcas There IN no part OF the
country where stock feeding be made more
profitable than in the Cotton Belt. and there is no
part Of the country that needs the manure worse
