EROSION CAUSES
MUCH LOSS
Second Only to This Is the
Waste, Nonuse and Misuse of
Fertilizer Derived from
Farm Animals.

The greatest unnecessary loss OF
our soil is preventable erosion. Sec
ond only to this is the waste, nonuse
and misuse of fertilizer derived from
animals and men.
The losses to farm products due TO
injurious mammals is estimated at
$3.50, 100000 annually; the loss through
plant diseases reaches several hun
dred million dollars; and the loss
through insects is reckoned at $685.
100000. The damage by birds is bal
anced by their beneficent work in de-
stroying noXious insects. Losses due
to the elements are large. but no esti-
mate has been made of them. Losses
to live stock from these causes are
diminishing because of protection and
feeding during winter. The annual
losses from disease among domestic
animals are: Horses. is per cent;
cattle. two per cent; sheep, 2.2 per
cent, and swine, 81 per cent. Most
OF these farm losses are preventable.
There is a tendency toward consoli-
dation of farm lands. The estimated
area of abandoned farms is 10000
square miles. or about three per cent.
of the improved land. The causes of
abandonment differ in different parts
of the country. Where most prevalent.
it is caused principally by erosion and
exhaustion of the soil.
The product of the fisheries of the
United States has an annual value of
100000. Fish culture is carried
on by the nation and the states at en-
enormous scale. Most of the more
important food species are propagated.
and several species are maintained in
that way. Fish from forest waters
furnish S21 100000 worth of food year
ly, supply dependent on the preser-
walton OF the forests.
Our wild game and fur-bearing ami
mails have been largely exterminated.
To prevent their complete extinction
the states and the United States have
taken in hand their protection, and
their numbers are now increasing.
Forest game yields over 100000 900
worth Of food each year.

BUCKWHEAT IS
VALUABLE CROP
Soil Should Be PIowed EARLY
and Cultivated Early Before
Planting to Secure the
Best Results.
BY A. ]. I.EGG)

Buckwheat is very rapid growing
crop and needs plenty of moisture and
available plant food, hence the import
ance of preparing the soil early by
blowing and frequent narrowing. so as
to conserve moisture and properly
aerate the soil.
The crop may be sown at any time
from the middle of May until the last
of June with fair prospects for crop,
as it takes only about sixty days to
mature a crop after 1t is sown.
The main points to consider in Sc
lecting the season for sowing are first
to have a rather cool season for the
formation of the grain and maturing
the crop, and second to give plenty of
time to mature before frost
The West Virginia experiment sta
ton got best results from plots sown
June &c l have sown buckwheat as
late as August 9 and grown fair
crop. However, l prefer earlier
sowing.
There are three principal varieties
grown. viz: The old variety. Japanese
and Silver Hull buckwheat. The jap
anese is much larger grained variety
than the silver Hull and usually yields
more bushels per acre.
The Silver Hull is much plumper
grained variety and weighs several
pounds per buushel heavier than the
Japanese variety.
About one bushel is the right
amount to SOW per acre, drilled In
with $50 to 200 pounds per acre of a
good grade fertilizer.
A superphosphate gave best results
for money invested. but other fertiliz-
ers may give better results on other
soils. The yield varies from ten to
forty bushels per acre.
Buckwheat Is harvested and set up
in small punches In the field until 1t
dries, then it Is usually threshed with
common threshing machine with the
teeth or part of them removed from
the concave and smooth boards put
in their places.
This is necessary in order to pre-
vent cutting up the grain.

An illustration of the inadvisability
of using varieties not adapted to soil
and climatic conditions is found in the
experience of growers Of Sumatra to-
bacco under shade in the Connecticut
valley. The seed of this variety of to-
bacco secured from Florida and Su-
matra and sown in the Connecticut
valley in 1901 and 1902 was found to
break up into several distinct types,
some of which was desirable, but most
of which proved undesirable and un-
profitable for cigar-wrapper produc-
ton. The proportion of desirable
types was small, and the difficulty of
sorting them out from the undesirable
types in the crop is SO great that the
growing OF this variety was found to
be Improbable.
A careful and systematic study of
the Connecticut fields of plants from
Florida-grown seed revealed the pres
ence of a large proportion of the sew
eral undesirable types of plants. The
use of proper methods of seed selec
The new era., 1910-03-10

tion and breeding enabled the growers
to propagate the different types which
We're true to seed and to eliminate the
Improbable types of plants.
The seed of the variety of tobacco
brought to the Connecticut valley in
1903 from Cuba and used for cigar
wrapper production was found to ex-
hibit the same characteristic breaking
up in type observed in the case of the
Sumatra variety. and it was not pos
sible to grow this variety profitably
until seed of the desired types was
saved free from crossing. In this way
the freaks, reversions and other unde
sirable and Improbable types of
plants which developed as :he result
of the change Of seed were eliminated
If the valuable types of these varieties
had been secured by breeding and
adapted to the soil and climatic condi-
tions of the Connecticut valley for
commercial production. the loss due to
the use of unimproved varieties could
probably have been avoided.

Preliminary surveys and a careful
inspection has been made by promi
nent eastern capitalists whose names
have not been made public for one OF
the largest irrigation projects which
has yet been proposed in this state.
says the Wyoming Tribune.
The project is known as the Upper
Platte River Carey Act project. Its
promoters have planned to construct
an immense dam and reservoir just
over the Colorado line on the North
Platte river, and from this large ca
nails will be built and the water run
down to the river and other canals,
which will reclaim 100000 acres of
rich land on the west side Of the river.
as far north as FIT. Steele, Wyo.
The big reservoir will also be util-
ized to supply great amount OF water
power which will be turned into cleo
tric energy and carried to many towns
and cities in northern Colorado and
southern Wyoming.
Prominent engineers representing
large eastern engineering firms have
just completed an inspection of the
project, and have reported fayorably
on the feasibility of the water power
and irrigation enterprises.
