FARMERS COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES
BY S. A. KNAPP

The aim of the Farmers Co-opera-
I've Dem onstration Work is to place
a practical object lesson before the
farm masses. illustrating the best and
most proftab methods of producing
the standard farm crops, and to Sc
cure such active participation in the
demonstrations as to prove that the
farmers can make a much larger
average annual crop and secure a
greater return for their toll.
This work shows also that there is
no necessity for the general deterio-
ration Of fGfms and the too common
poverty Of the rural masses.
Briefly stated. the salient features
of the rural lessons given by the farm
demonstration work are as follows
% Better drainage of the soil.
CD A deeper and more thoroughly
-pulverized seed bed: deep fall break
ing (noWadays) with implements that
will not bring the subsOil to the sur
face.
CD The use OF seed of the best va
riety, intelligently selected and care

HARVESTING CLOVER AND TIMOTHY HAY
BY w. M. KELLEY

Experience, as we'll as exact expert
rnents, prove that clover hay possesses
a higher feeding value when the crop
is cut and cured as green as poSaible
The majority of farmers allow their
clover to get too ripe before they be-
gin the work of cutting and harvest
ing Every practical feeder of dairy
cattle and young things knows the
value of rowen as food for milk pro-
duCtion and growth What is the
matter with making rowen out of the
whole of the clover crop?
The clover should be cut as soon as
it is in blossom. It cannot be cured

rows and the plants in the rows Il
space suited to the plant, the soil,

60 Intensive tillage during the
growing period of the crops.
60 The Importance of Il high con-
tent Of humus in the soil; the use Of
legumes, barnyard manure; farm re-
fuse, and commercial fertilizers.

winter cover crop on southern
farms.

ing all the waste products and idle
lands of the farm.

as quickly, but it can be cured, and
we will be more sure to get a good
second crop. Much Of the feedins
value of the clover depends upon how
the crop is managed, after it Is cut,
and right here is where we find many
pra ctical farmers who fail to agree on
how the clover should be handled. al
though they are all working with one
object In view, and that to cure it as
quickly as tLey can and get the crop
secured before unfavorable weather
delays the work and ruins the feeding
value of the hay.
