VETCH AS A FERTILIZER

While advocating the use of Alfalfa
Cover to renovate and enrich our
sandy lands, the attention Of the seek
er after information on this point is
called TO the virtue TO be found in
vetch, which is being largely used al
SO for this purpose. In fact some are
now claiming that vetch is by far the
most valuable plant for this purpose.
An Indiana Correspondent, writing TO
the Indiana Farmer. gives this sub
ject from his own experience as fol-
lows:
lam now in the sixth year OF my ex-
periments with vetch. The hrSt
year experimental with two acres.
This year, 1911, l plowed under and
followed with corn, grown less than
fifty acres per year l have grown it
on all kinds OF soil, except muck.
and find it suitable TO any soil upon
which l have grown it. However
with me, it has always grown best
on the poorest soil, which makes it
the most valuable Of fertilizing
plants.
l have sOwn 1t as late as August
&c, but advise sowing from July 10
to August Is. September sowing is
too late for the latitude north Of the
Ohio river.
Vetch should be followed with corn,
tobacco, clover, potatoes, or any crop
but wheat. If followed by wheat
there will be enough vetch to ripen
its seed with the wheat TO make a
dock at the elevator: although l claim
that the grain to the soil which yetch
gives is worth more then the dock
you may receive.
After | had experimental with
vetch for three years L said that the
vetch plant was the most valu-
able fertilizing plant ever discovered
and now after an additional three
years expermintIng with the plant, L
am convinced that did not make the
statement too strong. IL is the most
valuable fertilizing plant for the
reasons:
First. 1t is easily grown and grows
between the cuItivating and pIowing
seasons, covering and storing nitro
gen in the soil as no other plant will,
Second. AS nitrogen gatherer it
has no equal. 1t will in one season
put into the soil nitrogen worth So
per acre.
Third. No plant gives so much
humus To the soil as is given by the
foliage and roots Of the vetch plant.
Fourth. It's fine root system has
no equal for breaking up the surface
and sub-soil.
Fifth. Great masses OF vetch
plowed under enables crops to resist
droulh and make vigorous and
healthy growth Of plants.

Does Local Option Hurt Resort
Business.

When Charlevoix and Emmett coun-
ties were making their campaign
against the saloons the whiskey SYM
pathizers put forth the argument that
jure the resort business. most i'm
pOrtant factor in the prosperity OF
both counties. In spite Of this argu-
ment most strenuously and persistent
ly presented by the "wets," the better
sentiment and Judgment of the
voters prevailed, saloons and brewer
les were closed and the results have
forcefully proved that the "wets"
were utterly wrong in their cOuten-
tion. The resort business in both
counties has never been better than
under the ''dry" regime. Moral and
social conditions are immeasuraby
improved, and the most prosperous
met and Charevoix counties have
been in the seasons since the saloons
were driven out. The editor OF Mod
orator Topics has been a summer resi-
deut and cottage owner on Little
Traverse bay for more than 10 years,
and knows whereof he speaks. Mind
you we do not say that the betterment
is entirely due TO the shutting up of
rum holes. gin shops, booze joints and
the like. but we do insist that closing
the saloons does not injure any decent
business The Moderator Topics.

The PRICE OF
LAND INCREASING
THE BACK TO THE IANo' CRY
is EFFECTIVE.

Travelling through the state or Iowa
the other day. and Iowa is no excep-
ton to the story about to be related.
the writer was shown n farm that was
offered three years ago for $3.50 an
acre. That appeared to be high fig
ure for land upon which the owner
depended upon the crops of corn. hogs
and cattle that could be raised upon
II. But II wasn't. A few weeks since
the farm changed hands at 1895 an
acre. Over In Illinois. down in In
diana. up In Wisconsin. across the
line In Minnesota. the same expert
ence was met with. And then atten-
ton is directed to Canada, which has
been tho Mecca OF so many hundred
thousand Americans during the past
few years. Not only In Eastern Can
ada has the price OF lands increased.
but In Western Canada. during the
past few weeks. farm lands have in
creased from three to i've dollars an
acre. with the prospect OF a similar
advance during the next three months.
The reason for this Is very apparent.
and In few words It may be pointed
out that the lands are worth n great
deal moro than the present prices.
The Northwestern Agriculturist OF
Minneapolis, paper that was one OF
the first OF the American farm papers
to discover the real merits of the
lands OF Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, says: The reciprocity sched-
ule would encourage American farm
ers to move to Canada. where tho vir-
gin soil will produce greater crops OF
grain with less labor than can be pro-
duced in our own farms In the North
west. The result will be to enhance
land values I'm Canada" This paper
is afraid land values in Canada will be
enhanced at the expense OF land
values in the United States. In face
OF the fact that land values in the
United States are increasing the rea-
soning scarcely holds. The reason for
the advance in value OF Canadian
lands is partly accounted from the
fact. admitted by this paper, that Can
ada's virgin soil will produce greater
crops of grain with less labor" But
that ia not the only reason. During
the past twelve months 100000 peo-
pie have made Canada their home and
these are mostly of the farming class.
They want farms, and the demand as
well as the wealth of the soil ia regu.
lating the price. A study OF the in
crease In the acreage of land put I'M
der crop last year. which can be had
from any Canadian government repre-
sentative. will prove the point, that
the demand is increasing at n greater
ratio than even the most sanguine
would have predicted.
