SOURCE OF RUBBER SUPPLY
New One Recently Has Been Found

City of Mexico.@Another practical
and very extensive source Of crude
rubber supply was recently discovered
in the vicinity of Guanajuato. 1t is
the palo amarillo tree. which grows
wild In a broad scope OF territory Dor
bering the Pacific coast and extending
towards the interior as far as Guiana
Juato. The commercial possibilities Of
this tree as n producer OF rubber have
been thoroughly tested by the Mex
lean government and by representa-
tives Of large American interests that
are investing considerable capital in
the new industry.
The palo amarillo tree bears no re-
semblance to the guayule shrub from
which large quantities of rubber are
being manufactured In Northern Mex

tree is also OF different species from

ON IRRIGATED LAND
Entirely Erroneous Idea That II Is At
tended With Great Expense
Aids All Dry Land Crops.

You can't AFFORD to grow wheat on
irrigated land" remarked a prominent
man the other day. naturally in
CURED why and he said because 1t was
too expensive. writes r. N Sutherlin
In Field and Farm. My friend was
honest enough in his conclusions, but,
like thousands of others. he knew
nothing about irrigation. This was
evident from his conclusion. Men
knowing nothing of irrigation seem to
regard 1t as attended with great ex-
pense. an idea entirely erroneous.
would say that II we cannot grow
wheat under irrigation at a profit we
will have to go out of the business.
. There is not one dry land crop out
OF twenty that could not this year
have been increased in yield ten
bushels an acre by irrigation. In most
cases 1t can be increased twenty
bushels the acre. AS to the profitable
ness of the wheat crop. let us examine
the records and see. The average
yield of wheat 80 years ago was 81
bushels the acre. gathered statistics
then and know. Now. according to
the best information we can get, the
average yield on irrigated land. owing
to the more general use of alfalfa, is
80 bushels the acre.
Admitting that 1t costs $40 an acre
to grow wheat, our farmers, II they
can get 81 bushel will have $40 net,
which is fair profit on 800 land.
Now when we figure the irrigated crop
at 30 bushels an acre. we figure every
acre that is sown. not the choicest
fields. for It is not an uncommon
thing for irrigated land to yield so
bushels the acre. It is understood
that only half of the years will the
field be devoted to wheat. The other
times It will be seeded to alfalfa.
The first years crop of alfalfa will
amount to three tons; the second
years crop should be five and the
third year. six. Alfalfa has a feeding
value of from six to ten dollars. When
finished beef sells for four and one-half
cents In the market, alfalfa hay has n
feeding value OF Ave dollars a ton.
The farmer should keep one-half of
his premises In alfalfa all the time,
even II he is a grain raiser. These
are figures on irrigated land and are
conservative. but believe It will pay
fair profit on 800 an acre land
The man with water at his command
can do twice as much and he is the
only soil tiller who can do SO with any
degree Of safety. The real way to
grow anything in this arid region is
to provide a ditch and turn on the
water.

LD-BOARD PLOWS
Considered Superior for Humid
and Irrigated Land.
Under Favorable Conditions for PIow-
Ing Where Land 10 Not Too Dry
This Kind Turns Soil More
Satisfactory.

Shall l buy a disk or a mold board
pillow? is a question frequently asked
by the farmer, The condition under
which the pillow is expected to operate
must help answer 1t.
All farmers are acquainted with the
mold-board pillow and know how to
operate 1t to the best advantage. The
disk plpw. on the other hand, is a
newer invention and has not been
used SO extensively. 1t is harder to
operate successfully and for that rea-
son has not given the general salts
faction which should be obtained.
says Nebraska Farmer. The use for
the disk pillow. however. is gradually
growing, and in a few years II will
have almost as large a place. espe-
cially In the western states. as the
mold-board pillow.
Under similar conditions the disk
pillow is of light draft. but this diff
ference is not SO much as Is often
claimed by the manufacturers. Roll
ing friction makes 1t pull somewhat
easier than sliding friction. Because
of the rolling motion Of the disk and
its cutting effect, 1t is not so likely
to clog as the mold-board plow. What
the disk cannot cut It will roll over
The disk is capable of blowing
ground that has become too dry and
hard for the mold-board plow. This
is oftentimes of much value, as 1t Is
not necessary to wait for rain, and
the seed can be planted at the proper
time.
For humid sections and irrigated
lands, the mold-board pillow must be
considered superior. Under favorable
conditions for blowing where the soil
is not too dry. the mold-board pillow
pulverizes and turns the soil more
satisfactorily. 1t also handles sod to
better advantage.
To do the same amount of work.
the disk plow will require very little
sharpening compared to the mold
board pillow. This makes the running
expense of a disk very much less
than that of a mold-board.
The diameter OF the disk should not
be too large. A 24-foot disk for gen.
erai use is to be preferred to one Of
larger diameter. The 24-foot disk
will pulverize the soil more than a
2s or 3O-inch one. The draft ~ a tri-
fie more on the smaller one. but the
difference is more than made up by
the class Of work 1t is able to do.
The disk should not cut too wide n
