LOSS OF SOIL
BY EROSION
Where Surface Washes Away,
Well to Plant Pasture or
Some Root Crop
Rye Is Good.

On many farms where the land is
billy or only slightly rolling there is
often a great annual loss of good soil
through erosion. There are several
ways of preventing this waste.
Where the general surface soil of
land washes away 1t is well to keep
the land in pasture, meadow or some
crop the roots of which will bind the
surface soil together. II the field is
cultivated in summer. a crop of rye
sown early in the fall viii afford win.
ter protection. This rye crop may be
turned under in early summer for
green manuring and the formation OF
soil humus, which TO a certain extent
will prevent erosion.
Where a crop OF corn is grown on
washy land. it is best to cut none OF IL
for fodder, but TO leave all of the
stalks on the ground. II there are no
facilities for pasturing the stalks when
the corn is gathered. then the stalks
should be dragged down as early in
the winter as IL is possible to do the
work. If the stalks are pastured. they
should be dragged down Just as soon
as the stock have cleaned the best
from them. Corn stalks fiat on the
ground during the winter and spring
months catch and hold the soil from
washing. they catch and hold water
for sinking into the soil where needed.
and in this position they quickly
soften and decay.
Prevent washy land from remaining
bare at any season, and especially dur
ing the winter and spring seasons.
Keep the banks of the creeks and
bitches sloping and in good. tough
sod. A steep ditch bank cannot easily
hold grass, hence II remains bare and
is susceptible TO washing. Grassy
banks and low grassy places not only
prevent local soil from washing away.
but catch sediment washed down upon
them from higher places. II Is often a
good plan TO keep narrow draws" per
m~anently In grass. In this way the
draw gradually becomes filled. the field
becomes more level and the grassy
bottom becomes more fertile each
year. Made soil Is always rich soil

SINGLE CROP
FARMING BAD
Specialization 10 Profitable IN
Favorable Seasons. But Often
There As Failure.

One-crop farming Is in vogue IN
many agricultural districts. II a manu-
facturer employs an operator he fur
nishes him with steady employment at
all seasons of the year. The profit of
labor is the manufacturers reward. II
only one commercial article is pro-
duced the quantity is increased to
give the operator constant employ
meDt.
The farmer Is a producer of agricul-
tural necessities which enter into
daily consumption and to concentrate
all his energies and capital to produce
a single crop leaves him part of the
season without employment. The far
mer is his own employer and does not
have to divide the profits of his prod
ucts, and therefore should arrange his
system of husbandry TO insure steady
production Of some agricultural output
that enters into daily consumption.
Unquestionably specialization farm
ing is profitable in favorable seasons,
but occasionally there is a partial or
total failure of the crop and the far
mer wants some reserve product to
tide him over a disastrous season OF
special crop exploitation. In some 10
calities the soil is admirably adapted
to potato culture. In another section
to onions. and still another to horticul.
ture. When any of these lines Of hus.
bandry are followed they pay large
profits in favorable seasons. Another
class of farmers are interested in
wheat or corn production, both OF
which are profitable branches of agri,
culture.
The farmer engaged in specialize.
ton crops finds himself unemployed a
part of the year. II his labors are rea
sonably rewarded for time devoted 10
raising and marketing a crop of wheat
corn, potatoes or fruit. IL should be his
ambition to add to his agricultural op
erations the production of other things
that will pay a profit the balance OF
the year. To obtain the largest posi-
BILE recompense from agriculture the
farmer should arrange for steady EN-
ployment the year around.
Special crops can be exploited il

A crop of potatoes leaves the groun,
