MusARooMs As FooD.

Professor F. E. Clements. the state
botanist Of Minnesota. has attracted
attention by his estimate in a recent
bulletin that the annual waste Of
mushrooms in the United States
equals in value the entire agricultural
product Of the country. says the Man
chester Union. It is easy for an en-
tbusiast in any line OF thought or en-
deayor to lose the sense of just pro-
portion. and it may perhaps be taken
for granted that Professor Clements
has permitted himself to be carried
away by the contemplation Of the
waste Of a natural food product which
is more or less abundant everywhere
and whic1 has an unquestioned food
value. Beginning with early summer
and continuing until late fall. the pro
duction Of mushrooms in woods. pas
lures and waste places is something
enormous, and a large proportion of
them are not only edible. but nour-
ishing. In so far as they are not
made use of-and small proportion
of them is ever gathered of
course, represent a loss of possible
food supply. but some account must
be taken Of the cost of collecting and
distributing them to consumers. as
well as Of the danger from some spe-
cies which are harmful and of at
least two which may be claesed as
deadly. These are easily distinguish
ed, to be sure. by any one who has
made a study Of the mushroom tribe.
but until Americans, as a rule. are
much more familiar with the subject
than at present. great proportion Of
the edible varieties will continue to go
to waste.

GREEN MANURE IS VALUABLE
the Soil-Leeumlnou Crops Are
Highly Recommended.

(By J. ID. MARSHALL. Colorado Agricul.
tural Collegc)
II is well established fact that the
soils OF the arid regions are as rule
deficient in organic matter. This de.
ficiency may be overcome to a certain
extent by any of the three common
methods of adding organic matter to
the soil. which are as follows: (a)
BY green manure and crop residues +;
(b) by Accommodations in pasturing;
(c) by applications of farm ma.
nures.
OF the methods mentioned the first
is the most important and least prac-
ticed. It consists mainly in the grow.
ing Of crop which is plowed under
while it is green and succulent, as il
decomposes most readily in that stage.
DR.. Cyril G. Hopkins of the Illinois
station, in comparing green manures
with farm manures, makes the fol.
lowing significant statement "As an
average, animals digest and thus de-
stroy two-thirds of the dry matter in
the food they eat, so that one ton OF
clover hay plowed under will add as
much humus to the soil as the manure
made from three tons of clover hauled
off and fed, even if all the manure is
returned to the land without loss by
fermentation"
Leguminous crops, such as alfalfa
clover field peas and vetches, are
usually recommended for green ma
nures. They have the special power OF
obtaining thei nitrogen from the all
through the agency of bacteria in
habiting the tubercules on the roots
Any Of the above crops can be grown
in the soils of the arid regions.
The characteristic advantages o.
green manures to the soil are as fol
lows:
1. Increases its fertility by the
large amount of organic matter which
it acquires.
2. Increases its water holding ca
capacity. =
3. Utilities soluble plant food tina
would otherwise escape from the soil
4. Brings plant food from the low
er soil to the surface soil.

WATER FOR POTATOES
irrigation Seldom Needed Until
About Month of July.
OF Much Importance That Soil Be
Well Pulverized to Allow Root
System Of Young Plant to Get
Food Soon as Possible.

(By T. s. PARSONS. Agronomist. Wyom-
ing Experiment Station)
In providing a suitable soil for pota-
toes the fertility should be conserved.
Live stock is the real basis Of fertil-
ity in any agricultural district The
feeding Of grains and grasses on the
farm replaces in the soil the vegetable
matter which produces the humus and
furnishes the nitrogen which keeps up
the fertility of the soil. In the noun
tain country, where water is the prime
requisite, there is no better storage
FOR water in the soil than decayed
vegetable matter, as this vegetable
matter makes the soil porous. 1t is
impossible to grow potatoes without
an open, porous SOIL and it is i'm
portant that the soil Is well pulver-
lied and firmed in order that the root
system of the young plant may be able
to secure plant food as quickly as
possible.
If the seed-bed is well prepared and
the potatoes thoroughly cultivated
they will seldom need irrigation until
July. Irrigation water is generally
cold and 1t is important not to irri-
gate too frequently, for the water
causes the soil to run together and
lowers the temperature to a degree
that is unfavorable to the young
plants. Water should be applied only
when the plants indicate that they are
in need of it by the darker color of
the foliage, or one may dig down into
hill and press handful of soil in
the hand. II it fails to retain It's
form, irrigation is needed. Care
should be taken, however, that the
ground does not get too dry. as the
growth will be stopped. It has been
the experience that If potatoes are
grown as rapidly as possible so as to
become strong and we'll established
early in the season they will stand
the maximum of unfavorable condi-
tons later on In the season. Irriga-
ton. and irritation go well together.
When ready to irrigate a V-shaped
trench is run between alternate mid
dies with lister or double moldboard
plow which throws the soil each way.
In these burrows the irrigation water
is run so as to keep the soil from
solidifying by flooding and to keep
the water away from the plants. For
the second irrigation burrows are op-
ened in the middles that were not
opened for the first irrigation. For
succeeding irrigations this alienation
is continued. Cultivation should be
resumed as soon after irrigation as
this soil will permit so that growth
will not be checked. Do not irrigate
after the middle of August. for the
potatoes must be given sufficient time
to ripen in dry earth Irrigation at
fects to a great extent the uniformity
and vitality of the potato crop.
