Farmers Of Greeley District are Still
NscussiRg Flat Rate for Yield
Harvesting Is u Heavy
Expense

The delivery of sugar beets to the
factories in Weld started on Monday
morning and within the next week
the machinery Will be set IN mo-
ton and the annual campaign OF
sugar making begun.
The acreage will be larger this
year than last, in spite of hundreds
of acres having been blown out. The
estimate increase in the state is
15 per cent. 1t is also expected
that the acreage sugar content in
the Greeley district Will be higher
this year, according to tests that
have been made by the company.
The weather man seems to favor
the gathering OF the crop.
Many Of the farmers in the
Greeley district are discussing the
justice OF sliding scale payment
tor bee work. Under the present
arrangement beet hands receive a
fiat rats, OF $40 an acre. This
amount is for pulling and topping
the beets, and is paid without refer.
ence to the yield. Accordingly farm.
ers whose fields are productive OF
only a small tonnage must pay as
much for harvesting as those whose
totals per acre amount to 3 to ~
tons.
This is pointed out as obviously
unjust and a three-rate scale has
been suggested as substitute. Six
dollars. it is proposed, shall be paid
for acres the yield from which is ten
tons or less; 50 will then be
given for acres yieIdlng a maximum
of l5 tons, and the $40 rate shall
only apply to land producing from
Is to 20 acres tons. The Farmers
union may endeavor to adjust the
matter.

WILLOW TREE ON THE FARM
Rapid Growth and Hardness Makes
Il Almost Invaluable on Prairie
Lands Of West.
(By e. G. CHEYNEY.)

W.
The rapid growth and hardness OF
the willow makes 1t almost Invaluable
on the prairie. 1t is not always
thing of beauty, and 1t has the ob1ec-
tionable feature of shedding its small
er branches-especially when the tree
gets old-and making litter on the
ground However. the prairie farmer
usually wants protection first and can
afford to wait awhile for the beauty.
The willow Is about the only tree
which can give him that desired pro-
lection in a short time.
The first planting Of willows should
usually be made in the form OF a
wind-break To obtain the best re-
suits, two rows of cuttings should be
planted, about eight feet apart and
one foot apart in rows. This
makes the plants closely crowded in
tho rows. with plenty Of room between
the rows to cultivate: and for the first
two or three years they should be cul-
tivated as regularly as corn. The full
sunlight from the sides causes them
to spread sideways. with many
branches from the ground up. They
soon form an impenetrable hedge.

Savtnu Green Food.

When the green food Is scarce or

way to prevent its being wasted. Cut
two pieces for the ends Of box, each
"a inches long. getting proper curve
by using a compass. Make the back
of the holder Of thin boards four feet
long and "a inches wide, and nail one
end in place, Ringing the other end
and using small straps Of leather to
hold It shut. Cover the holder with
coarse mesh wire netting and hang II
in a convenient place high enough so
that the fowls cannot roost on it, yet
80 that they can feed from 1t readily
Use hangers Of wood, tin or leather.
This box will enable the fowls to
pick at the green stuff, whether 1t il
clover, grass or chopped cabbage
without danger Of the mass becoming
soiled or destroyed by the chickens
scratching in 1t.

MOISTURE STORAGE IN SOIL
Conclusions Given a. Drawn From
Experiment. Conducted ut the
North Platte Station.

Conclusions drawn from expert
ments conducted at the North Platte,
Neb., sub-station:
1. That land which Is under thor
cugh cultivation absorbs water much
more freely than land not under cult
walton. or which Is covered with grass
or fos any reasons has hard surface.
2. That land under thorough cult
walton loses but little water from be-
low the first foot by surface evapora-
ton, so long as the mulch Is kept IN
good condition.
3. That a growing crop uses water
from the land in proportion to- tho
growth OF dry matter In the crop.
4. That land under summer tillage
or thorough cultivation from May
to September / on the Nebraska sub
station farm has accumulated from b.b
to inches more water In the first
six feet of soil than similar land grow
ing a crop. The water 30 stored has
been equal to from to so per cent
of the rainfall for the same period.
The moisture content on summer
titled land increases below the six
foot area and is apparent to a depth
of at least 10 feet
s. That water stored in the sub
soil eto a depth Of at least six feet ID
available for the use Of farm crops,
and that alfalfa Is able to draw water
from much deeper areas.
6. That abundance Of water In tho
subsoil is a great protection to the
crop against drought, and that mois-
ture in the surface soil, while 1t may
favor the immediate growth OF the
plant. does not protect 1t against pro-
longed drought. The protection OF
the crop against drought is in almost
exact proportion to the total available
soil water within the reach OF the
crop.
7. That grass crops (alfalfa and
bronze grass) dry the suesoil to such
an extent that the first crop following
grass is wholly dependent on the sea
sons rainfall for its moisture supply.
8. That a rainfall of from a quar-
ter to a half inch may have decided
ly beneficial effect upon a growing
crop, and is of great assistance In Sc
curing a good stand at seeding time
Such a rainfall has little or no enec'
in increasing the water in the lowel
soil unless the surface is already mois
from previous rains. Less than
half-nch Of rain falling on dry Oh
mulch does not wet the soil below tn
mulch and is soon evaporated by thu
sun and wind.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Hog lice do not infest cattle or
horses.
Nothing better or cheaper than raw
cabbage for sheep.
Most vicious habits OF horses come
from an incompetent trainer.
Pigs have to grow that are fed milk
and shorts and little corn to crack.
Hogs going down some, but good
price yet. Used to have three-cent
hogs.
It's sure sign that horses teeth

Hogs look better and do better II
those of about same size are kept to-
gether.
Cannot afford to feed hogs in the
mud these days. Corn too high Al
ways was.
1t Is poor policy to feed inferior
grain to the horse-especially to the
work team.
The value Of horse depends, first
upon his breeding, and second, upon
his first years keeping.
The sheep barn must be dry and

much heat bring on pneumonia.
Young pigs are liable to contract

three feet wide, with perpendicular
sides three feet high from the floor OF

like this is better than hangers or
chutes, as 1t allows a man to pass
