Early and Late Asparagus.

Professor Ernest Walker of the az. ricultural college horticultural depart. ment tells of novel way he has used of lengthening the season for cutting asparagus. He says For the past few years l have had asparagus plant. ed along the fence on opposite sides of my yard. On the south side tho rows of asparagus Is planted on tho north side of picket fence; on the opposite side of the yard the row h planted on the south side of a simi. lar fence. The fence on the south side shades the ground somewhat during the spring and summer The difference in position and conditions due to shade On the one hand and to reflected warmth on the other has each year been making . difference of two weeks in the season of tho two patches-extendlng the season of supplies of this delicate esculent for the table about two weeks.
 The past year the picket fence on the south side of the yard was re placed by woven wire fence, which. Of course, casts almost no shadow. This has made the asparagus there earlier, so that now it is nearly I early as the row on the opposite side of the yard, although the reflected heat from the fence still gives the north row slight advantage in the matter of earliness"
 Here is good idea which could readily be turned to practical use in commercial way by the grower so inclined
 Asparagus is a sadly neglected crop in Arkansas. The census ten years ago reported only one acre of asparS gus in the whole state. although thrives throughout the entire stau in suitable soils. We should gl" more attention to growing 1t for homo supplies and in commercial way It pays at the rate of $200 an acrs when fairly well handled, while thres dozen clumps will supply an averaS' family with an abundance for the "' ble and some to send to the neishpoI

ONLY HOPE IS TO DIVERSITY
Exclusive Culture of Cotton Has Ex- hausted the Humus llfe-GiVing
 Principle in Soils.
CRy c. II. ALFORDD

There is one hope and only one hope for the farmers of the south and that Is diversification The too ex- elusive culture of cotton has exhaust ed the humus, the lifegiving principle in our soils. the washing of the clean cotton fields have gone on to such an extent that millions of acres of the best land in the south have been ruined The too exclusive culture of cotton has caused production and thereby forced the price far below an equitable one so that there has been but little more than bare living for the cotton farmers. The too exclusive culture of cotton has established the credit system. AS long as our farm CTS raised their supplies at home there was no necessity for the credit sys- tenn. The too exclusive culture of cotton forces us to buy on credit and dump all of our cotton on the market in the fall in order to satisfy our cred itors and thereby force the price down. The too exclusive culture of cotton makes IL necessary to send the money obtained for cotton north and west to pay for corn, oats. hay, bacon, lard. mules. horses, butter, cheese and other farm products.
 I realize that many agricultural writers and speakers are now busy shaking the foundation of our pres ent evil-the one crop system. How ever. their work is to a large extent destructive. not constructive They seldom suggest a practicable method to take the place of our badly bal. anced, lopsided farming that compels a farmer to wear out about fifteen acres at a time. It is not enough to expose the many evils of the one crop system We must show on general lines what system to establish as substitute, and on general lines, how the average cotton farmer can do SO
 The simple plan that I shall now suggest may be followed by every cotton farmer, however poor he may be. I am a staunch believer in the old Dutch proverb. No grass, no stock, no stock, no manure; no ma nure. no crop" Now as at least one third of the land cultivated in cotton does not pay for the fertilizer and labor of cultivation it ought to be fenced as soon as possible, thoroughly prepared and set in bermuda or car pet grass When either carpet or bermuda grass is we'll set on fairly good land. no better summer pasture can be found in North America Hairy vetch. white. crimson. or burr clover may be mixed with either t.e carpet or bermuda grass for winter and early spring pasture The yetch or either clover will die down in the spring by the time the carpet or Der muda grass gets good start. All kinds of live stock can obtain the larger part of their living from such pastures.
 Let us divide the remaining two thirds into two equal parts and plant

hog raising that should appeal to every thoughtful farmer. No other meat-producing animal is capable of producing so many young in a year In our mild climate, where suitable pastures can be provided for nearly every month in the year. the SOW could farrow twice annually. producing ole litter in early spring which can easily be made ready for the late fall or early winter market, and an- other litter Tn early fall to be made ready for the spring market. The small amount of capital required to begin with and the quick returns on the investment should make hog rais- ing especially attractive to the small farmer with limited means. The hog will make a pound of gain on less food than most live stock, and will profit ably utilize the waste products around the farm, dairy and kitchen.
 At present there is a strong demand at very attractive prices for what IS known as the light market hog, weigh ing from 130 to 150 pounds. A hog of this weight can easily be produced with ordinary care at from four to six months old.

Agriculture and Education Bu Dean c. F Adams College of Agriculture
 UniOersty of Arkansas.

One debate in America is over th. establishment of separate secondary agricultural schools and the introduc. ton of agriculture into general hivb schools. As stated by some. many schools of few subject. vs. few zen. eral schools of many subjects That is to say, secondary agricul tural school would be school of ops subject; high school with agricul. ture introduced into it would be ono Of many subjects. Of the former tyns We would need many to reach the neo, rle of all industries of the second type we would supposedly need less number.
 To my mind the question in hand does not involve the establishment of either type of school, but has to do With the arrangement of the curricn. lum from the primary grades to the end of college or university career. Ths establishment of a separate school however, would insure the major suh. jects being made the base of the eds. cational effort, as we'll as its her. pendicular. To add agriculture for few short hours to the curriculum of a general high school would tend to make of it cultural subject. On the other hand, to add cultural subject to the curriculum in an agricultural high school would be lending culture to the most fundamental business Of tho frn l. a general high school. and for a few hours at best, would be placing a pre- n.ium on a little knowledge and os giving little attention to a great and useful calling
 So. in our scheme of universal edu. cation We should not look upon the re- taining walls of buildings as the d yiding line between this and that kind of education. It is the curricu lum Of the school system of the en- tire state, and not the apparent seg. regation Of subjects which should command our attention. Universal education means education for every man, but does not carry with 1t the implication that a man should know something of everything. To have weli-balanced humanity. though, every man should have placed before him the possibility of knowing much o. those subjects bearing directly upon lis own. His equilibrium should he established, so as to enable him not only to walk alone, but to go forward and become a student in the true senso Of the word He should be so sdu. cated as to look upon life as one con. tinual school at the end of which he hands over to the next generation the fruits of his studies.

one part in cotton and one part in corn and peas and peas for hay. The richest land of one part may be plant ed in corn and peas and the poorest in peas for hay. The medium land that Is planted in cotton may be plant ed in peas when the cotton Is laid by.
 This plan will cut the cotton acre age more than half; will enable us to utilize about thirty acres per hand in such way that It's productiveness will rapidly increase instead of wear ing out about fifteen at time raise plenty of live stock to manufacture grasses. corn, peas and other forage into bacon, lard, butter, wool, beef and other products and manure; al most destroy the credit system: en- able us to hold our cotton until an equitable price Is offered, and win make the south wealthy.
 long to see the time when we all fare sumptuously every day in the year on the products of our own farms: have good pastures from eight to ten months in the year; raise all the good stock that our pastures and hays will feed we'll in order to obtain food for ourselves ana manure for our soils; diversity and rotate our crops; get down into old mother earth some six to ten inches deep with a three or four-mule disk blow and thereby carry our crops through ths longest drought though heavily fer tilized; reduce the cost of producing crops by increasing the productive ness of our soils and by the use of strong teams and labor-saving farm implements, and behold prosperity in every department of the commercial world.

No man should attempt to Iniss

No man should attempt 10 Yhiso hogs without adequate pastures. For pastures, woven wire is the best fenc- ing material. all things considered Around the field to be used for pas ture run a woven wire fence 30 inches high with three strands of barbed wire above This fence will not only turn hogs, but other live stock.
 For convenience in preparing the land and planting the crops, it is best not to divide the pasture up with permanent fences. When the crops are ready for the hogs, by using the hurdle or portable fence, the field may be divided into lots of any size. The hurdle fence Is simple and cheaply made, and when not in use can be taken down and stored under a shed until needed again.
 There is a mistaken idea held by some that alfalfa red clover rape and similar crops will produce profit able gains when pastured without grain.

 At the Mississippi station careful tests have been made to determine the value Of alfalfa pasture without grain for hogs Pigs ranging in age from three to twenty-four months have been used and the results of two years work show that alfalfa Is litsle more than a maintenance ration for growing hogs without grain. Satisfactory gains have always been secured from alfalfa pastures by supplementing the pas ture with from one to two per cent of the weight of the hogs in corn or other grain
 Cow peas without grain so far has given better results than any other crop for hog pasture. In one test the crop was grown in thin hill land. where one acre of COW peas produced $50 pounds of pork In another test on rich valley land one acre of COW peas produced 4S3 pounds of pork The hogs were put in the field when the peas were about ripe.

SALVATION OF DAIRY FARMER
Built Up, Will Insure Good, Fair Price for Product.

lBy A. D. WILSON. University Farm. St.
 Paul. Minn)
 There were in Minnesota, in 1909. $50 creameries, producing 90S34. 262 pounds of butter; which. at 30 cents pound. represented an aggregate value of s27,250.27S6
 In 1910. there were about 1.125.000 cows in the state, producing an aver age of 442 pounds of butter-fat per COW, worth 27 cents per pound The earnings of each COW are thus seen to be $3S, or an aggregate. for the states herd. of SAP, ,000
 About 77 per cent, of the creameries in the state are cooperative. Most of them are in a thrifty condition A great many more such are needed. Experience shows that the largest permanent gains to the dairy farmer come from giving his steady support to the local creamery. Too many creamery patrons have been persuaded to ship their cream, by the offer of a slight advance over the price paid at their own creameries. Most of them have lived to regret their ac- tion: having been forced to take a lower price when their own creamery closed for lack of support
 The salvation of the dairy farmer is. in fact the Farmers Cooperative Creamery One should put away all petty spites and jealousies, and stand by his local creamery. If things are not properly managed, help to i'm prove them; but do not be misled by seemingly higher prices paid else where. The chances are that when prices are offered higher than a we'll supported local creamery can pay the purpose is merely to undermine your creamery and fore it to close for lack of support When this happens. you are entirely at the mercy of the central plant to which you are ship ping; then, it is reasonable to expect, fhe prices you will receive for cream will be made sufficiently low to make up for the higher price temporarily paid in order to freeze out the To- cal creamery. By all means. stand by your creamery and build 1t up. if you want to get. at all times, good, fair price for your dairy product.

Proper Care of Land.

Let us clear the land of roots and stumps, blow it deeper every time it is broken until 1t is from ten to fifteen ,nches deep, turn under the grass and trash. cotton and corn stalks, keep some green crop growing on the land at all times, prevent 1t from washing by constructing good strong hillside ditches or terraces. practice rotation of crops including leguminous crops and so on and the yield of the cul. tivated lands in the south will be doubled in three years.
