The Importance of critical periods
in dry-land crop production should be
more generally recognized in the fol

/. The selection of a location for
a dry-land farm. Here not only the
average annual precipitation. but alsc
the distribution of the rainfall, espe
cially during the growing months
should be considered

lands. Crops that are most likely to
survive successfully the critical peri

should be carefully observed Sur.

by natural forces may not be lost
Any knowledge gained through OBJ,

so far as possible, be applied in the

Value of Beets.

There is scarcely any comparison
between the value of sugar beets and
ordinary beets. The former is bet
ter keeper, gives heavier yield, and
withal is better food for stock. II
is doubtful if any crop surpasses in
feeding value the ordinary sugar beet
but there are certain objections to L
when it comes to the matter of grow
ing any considerable area. Sugar
beets are harvested with difficulty
and because of this fact alone the
mangel-wurzel is generally preferred
by stockmen. Another point in favor
of the mangel is that this crop under
ordinary circumstances generally out.
yields the sugar beet crop. An ideal
plan would be to use sugar beets Oh
25 per cent, of the area and mangel

CARE OF WINTER VEGETABLES
Bury Potatoes Under Good Cover. in
Well Drained Spot or in Cold
Storage Plant.

DO not store away any unsound OF
bruised fruit or vegetables, as they
will soon decay and cause all those
next to them to go the same way.
Bury Irish potatoes on well
drained spot. Cover with wheat straw
about six inches deep, put on four
inches of dirt (earth) and let this
freeze lightly, then cover with six OF
eight inches of rough, strawy stable
manure. AS soon as this gets wet and
freezes put on six inches more earth
and pat it down smooth. This is for
potatoes for seed and table use next
spring before early potatoes come
again.
They will keep better thar if kept
in a cold storage plant.
Place beets, carrots, satisfy, turnips
and few parsnips in barrels. First
put in two or three inches of garden
soil, any mellow earth will do, then a
layer of vegetables and so till the bar
rel is full or all are in. Place the bar
rel in moderately warm cellar. A
slight freeze will not hurt them.
Turn the cabbages up side down
leaving the roots on, and cover the
heads with earth about four inches
leaving the roots stricking out, and
they will keep fine in this way.

FODDER CORN ON DRY FARMS
Excellent Quality May Be Grown on
Land as High as 1000 Feet
Kaffir Good Crop.

Excellent fodder corn can be grown
under dry farming conditions any
where up to an altitude of about S,OOO
to 1000 feet. On higher attitudes the
frost will probably injure 1t. 1t may
be grown on fresh breaking providing
the land is deeply, plowed, and the
overturned land is disked and har'
rowed so as to make a good seeded.
The farther south that the corn Is
grown and the lower the elevation,
the larger the kind of the corn That
may be grown. Even in the extreme
northern boundary of this country. not
less than three tons of fodder corn
can be grown per acre. Farther
southwark the crop may be grown for
the grain as well. Even in northern
areas corn will ordinarily mature If
the early varieties are planted. Sor'
ghum will stand more drought than
corn, but wants a somewhat longer
season in which to grow. II will also
furnish more fodder per acre. Kafiir
corn will endure still more drought
than sorghum, but wants weather that
is warmer. In other words 1t will
not succeed so far north. One or the
other of these crops should furnish
fodder any season. Nor is it absolute
ly necessary to grow them on summer
fallowed land providing the land on
which they are grown is properly
