The greatest danger in sight t.
this country is TOO mucn Legislation
not to mention the quality or kind.
We are cIamoIlng for initiative, Ior
referendum, for recall, and for a
number OF other innovations which
we immagine will revoiuulonize gov
ernment and add TO the blessings of
citizenship privileges. With the
initiative we hope to compel laws
we crave. With the referendum we
hope to satisfy the people with laws
proposed With the recall We ex-
pect the privilege of firing a man
we have elected to office if he
doesn't make good. All this seems
logical and just, but few of us con-
slider the difficulty of performance,
the natural inclination to find fault
or the impulse to condemn upon cir
cumstantial evidence. Great as the
theory of all these measures must
be, their ship of state carries in its
wake a promised swirl of constant
contention; of accusations, charges,
petitions and submissions to the
people. To adherents of the idea
more or less proven-that "the
best governed people are the least
governed the complex situation
of our modern craftsmanship pos
sesses-to state it mildly-a thrill
that it is or is not for the best?

This paper has always contended
that the proposition possessed the
ear-marks of a gigantic graft and
that its over-enth usiastic advocates,

open TO criticism if not suspicion.
The state of Colorado has ample use
for it's funds. If it has millions to
donate which it has mott could
put some of them on it's highways
to the satisfaction of every citizen,

build bridges across streams where

would not only develop its terri
tory but prove source of profitable
income. Could start in motion some

face each day in the winter and
three inches in the summer.
Therefore, we suggest that
wherever possible three, or at
least two, neighbors get together,
build silos, provided for cooper
alton in their purchase and con-
struction and also the purchase
of silage machinery. Then fill
these silos, one for winter and
one for summer, and thus be fore
armed both winter and summer
against any shortage of feed.
Where it is not possible for the
farmer to construct a silo, or
where he has not been educated
up to that point, or where, by
reason of the small number of
live stock that he may have, it
would not be advisable to build
one, then by all means provide
for harvesting the corn fodder by
securing a corn harvester. In
seasons when the harvesting of
the corn crop becomes impara-
tive, there would inevitably be a
shortage of suitable machinery.
Therefore, men may have to re-
sort to the oldfashioned corn sled,
which any farmer can make, and
which we thought to be a great
improvement twenty years ago
or to the still more old-fashioned
corn Knife, with which the corn
can be put in shocks and after
wards huSked or fed in the shock
or shredded.
There is no danger of serious
shortage of forage in the corn
belt if farmers simply have suffi-
cient foresight to guard against
a shortage in hay and pasture.
The means of providing against
any possible scarcity are in our
hands, if we will but use them;
and the object of this artecle is
simply to set farmers to thinking
on a subject of the utmost i'm
portance in case of a dry season
such as we are having now. All
this may change in case of an
absence of moisture during the
rest of the season; but we have
advised nothing which it will not
pay farmers to do any year.

The Depth Of the
Dirt Mulch.

1t is now generally, in fact al
most universally, conceded that
the maintenance of a mulch oil
dry brit on the corn field is the
very best possible method of con-
serving moisture. Mhe problem
is: How deep should this mulch
be? Like the depth of blowing,
this is one of the questions that
can not be answered specifically.
for the very obvious reason that
circumstances alter cases.
1t is agreed by all that the i'm
strument with which the mulch
is made should not go deep
enough to break the corn roots.
This means that it should 60
deeper some seasons than others.
In a year of abundant moisture,
a very shallow mulch, say half
an inch, will answer every pur-
pose. In a dry year it will need
to be much deeper. Again, in a
section of abundant rainfall, a
lighter mulch is needed than in a
section where the rainfall is scam
ty and where the soil is of a diff
ferent structure, as it is in most
cases of scant rainfall.
Therefore no definite rule can
be laid down; but we may illus
trate. On central and western
Nebraska and Kansas, for exam
pie, a deeper mulch is necessary
than in the eastern portions of
those states or in the states of
Iowa and Illinois.
The farmer must use his own
judgement. He must ask him
self: What is my object in form
ing this mulch of dry dirt? That
settled, the rest is easy. He
should 60 deep enough to con-
serve the moisture, and not 50
deep 8, 70 iui,risg, Viih &c

Conserving Moisture

A Washington county, Iowa,
subscriber writes:
PLEASE advise us whether or
not it will help retain moisture
in the cornfield if we run a
weeder over it as soon as the
ground is dry on top, and make
mulch of fine dirt"
Whoever has been a careful
reader of what we have had to
say on this subject in times past
will know that this is a practice
that we have urged repeatedly.
The mulch of dry dirt checks
evaporation just as the excess of
charred matter on the end of a
lamp wick interferes with the
burning of the lamp. 1t retards
the action of the kerosene in COM
ing up the wick. No one knows
what we will have this season in
the way of rainfall. We started
in about fourteen inches short in
Iowa and up to the present time
have had on an average slightly
less than our normal supply for
the season. Every thing looks
fine now, but unless we have very
timely and copious rains we will
be short of the moisture needed
to mature the corn crop. There
fore, the man who conserves the
greatest possible amount of mois-
ture that falls is the man who
will have the best crop, other
things equal. In a season like
this especially, it will pay to run
the weeder, harrow or cultivator
over the cornfield as soon as the
ground is fit to work after rain,
thus checking the evaporation
from the surface and compelling
the moisture to come up through
the plants. -Wallace's Farmer.

roots. In the drier sections the
roots naturally run deeper than
in the more humid section.
Therefore, there is less danger of
decorating the roots in the for
mer section, as we'll as a necessi-
ty for a deeper mulch to conserve
the moisture. -Wallace's Farmer.

Save The Forage.

after the event. Nevertheless,
there are some things that lie
clearly in view, and he is not a
wise man who does not recognize
an obvious fact. 1t is now very
clearly evident that the entire
western and middle states are to
harvest a short hay crop. We
We have recently been as far
east as western Pennsylvania,
travelling mainly by day and COW
ering many miles by automobile,
and if there is anything sure for
the future, the hay crop is short
this year in hay-producing sec
tions. Conditions farther west
are from all accounts much more
serious than in the corn states
proper. The meadows in the
east are short and most of them
weedy, these last furnishing no
hay except for home consump-
ton. Glover is heading out nice
~, but short. That we should
have short hay crop has been
very clear to us for a month OF
more. 1t is a maxim among far
mers that a dry April makes a
short hay crop. Exceedingly
heavy rains in May may remedy
the defect; but when April and
May have less than normal mois'
ture, you may be sure that there
will be hay crop in proportion
to the moisture.
Therefore, one obvious duty oil
every farmer in the Mississippi
valley, and in the middle states
is to save all the, forage possible,
and, if moisture conditions per-
nit, to grow what forage is pos
sible during the remnant of the
season.
The reader may ask what he
can do after the goth of June.
If there is sufficient moisture to
terminate them, you can SOW
cowpeas as late as that, and in
the southern portion of our ter
ritory up to the first of July, and
secure a hay crop. 1t is possible
to SOW sorghum at about the
same dates. 1t is quite possible
to SOW rape up to the first OF
July, and it is possible to grow
a good deal of forage III the
shape of oats by disking the
stubblefeld, where it has not
been seeded down to grass, and
allow the volunteer oats to grow,
which will furnish far more pas
ture than you suspect, If you
have not tried it. All this, how
ever, on the condition that suffi-
Gent rain comes in the latter
part of June to secure germina-
ton of the seed sown.
The main source of forage,
however, must be the corn crop.
Up to the present time corn has
not suffered from drOuth, nor
will it on well-prepared, rich
land up to about the first of July.
Let us hope that timely and, we
might say, soaking rains will
come between this and corn tas-
selling time; for if not, the crop
of corn in the corn belt and mid
die states will he a short one.
We do not know what the sea-
SON will be. AS seasons come in
cycles all the world over, it is
fair to assume that we have en-
tered upon a cycle of years OF
less than normal rainfall, and
should provide accordingly. The
thing to do now in view of this
evident shortage of forage is to
plan to save all the corn fodder
possible. There is enough for
age from the cornfeld goes to
waste every year to keep all the
livestock in the middle west
through the winter; and all we.
have to do is to learn to save it..
The best of all methods Toy
providing forage is to build a 81
