WILLING TO SHARE PENNIES
Generous Act Of Street Wait That
Gained Him q Friend In
Great Novelist.

Charles Dickens, the creator OF
many delightful child characters,
earned a million dollars during his
lifetime with his pen. but often walk
ed the streets OF London in search OF
material for his books without penny
In his pocket.
One evening while doing this he
was accosted by q small boy who
asked him for a penny. Dickens search
ed his pockets, but they were empty
and so he told the boy, who was shtV-
ering in the cold.
Poor mani" exclaimed the little
fellow, well go hunks together!"
Dickens stood back In the shadow
Of the street to see what the outcome
would be. The lad continued to beg.
and finally gained two pennies. He
came dancing to Dickens with q jolly
ring in his voice.
Now" he said, well have two hot
buns apiece!"
Such a generous spirit under such
trying circumstances struck Dickens
30 forcibly that he took the lad home
with him, and there he was fed and
clothed. and started on the road to q
better life.

from the bare summer fallow. And
in the writer's judgment, this method
of following will soon be generally
adopted and will solve the problem.

the organic matter and maintaining
the productiveness Of our Western
lands.
This method of green MANURE lg
and the rotation Of crops will large Y
prevent soil drifting, the control OF
which Is q very serious problem Ia
Western agriculture. Our experience
at the Western Kansas Experiment
Station, at Hays, has demonstrated
also that large areas in wheat may be
protected and largely prevented from
being injured by the drifting Of soil
within the field itself. The spreading
of straw or coarse manure and pack
ing the straw into the soil with the
subsurfaoe packer was the most
effective means employed for pro-
tecting the fields from injury by
winds, last spring, (1911). The sub
surface packing alone helped to pre-
vent the starting of the drifting soil
within the field, but was not very
effective in preventing the soil from
aGJacent fields from sweeping over
the wheat field, but the straw covered
area actually stopped the drifting soil
causing it to lodge and thus protected
the field beyond the straw barrier.

preferably during the year Of fallow-
ing.
We are beginning at Hays the prac-
tice OF a method Of green manuring
and partial summer following which
l believe to be superior to bare sum-
mer following and which largely over
comes the objections to summer fal-
lowing.
The plan Is to plant some fall crop
or early spring crop and plow 1t I'M
der late in May or early in June,
practicing n summer fallow with, sur
face cultivation for the rest OF the
season, until seeding time.
Certain crops adapted to the West
are being tested for this purpose with
some degree of success. The more
promising are, Sweet Glover, Sand
Vetch, and Winter Rye for fall seed
ing and field peas for early spring
seeding. These crops are hardy,
rapid growers, and somewhat drouth
resistant and may be used also in
part for pasture, thus giving some
return other than their fertilizing
value. Some experiments have al
ready been made at the Fort Hays Sta
ton and the yields Of wheat secured
from the green-manuring summer fall

Within the last few years kafir
has become one Of the large crops OF
Kansas, especially in the southern
part Of the state. This is due to the
fact that it is rather easily grown and
at the same time can Withstand the
drouth and hot winds much better than
corn. Aside from this It has been con-
sidered to be. more or less resistant
to insect attacks, for as a rule chinch
bugs and grasshoppers leave 1t until
the last.
This spring, however, the Depart
ment of Entomology OF the Kansas
Experiment Station has received q
number of complaints from southern
Kansas that a small ant was eating
out the meat of the seed as fast as 1t
was being planted, thus preventing
a stand. Many farmers say that they
have replanted as high as four times
and now have only about one-hah a
stand.
About the middle of May / went to
Derby and Mulvane. Kansas, and IN

compefs the raising OF live stock to
consume the forage and this will
necessitate the building of silos and
storage barns to save the forage in
large enough quantities so that there
may be always a reserve supply to
tide over a dry season and thus make
dry farming permanent and sure.
There is little question regarding
the value and even the necessity OF
the summer fallow in the drier areas
OF the West. The tests at a number
Of Western Stations and the general
experience of farmers prove this; yet
there are serious objections to the
continued practice Of bare summer
Fallow.
First, there is the tendency for the
soil to waste by drifting In strong
winds and washing away in heavy
rains.
Second, summer following with fire.
quent cultivation hastens notification
and decay, thus more rapidly exhaust
ing the organic matter in the soil.
It is possible for the soil to become
more rapidly exhausted in fertility by
alternate bare summer following and
cropping than by continuous cropping.
At least the bare summer fallow does
not add any fertility to the soil. In
order to maintain the productivity Of
our Western lands, 1t will become
necessary to add fertility to the soil,

n T THE Experiment Station at
"A Hays, Kansas, regular sys-
tenn OF rotation OF crops for
our large farm of 5000 acres has now
been established by which only one
third Of the tillable uplands will be
cropped with wheat each year; one
third will be planted to intertilled
crops and forage crops, largely kafir
corn and sweet sorghum, and one-third
will remain fallow, maturing no crop
and receiving summer culture, but
during the fallow year the land will
receive a dressing Of manure or an
early crop will be plowed under for
green manure just previous to the fal-
lowing. The wheat will follow the
summer fallow and the forage crops
and sorghum and grain crops will fol-
low the wheat. Thus every year the
great income producing crop, wheat,
will be grown under the most favor
able conditions, and We expect by this
method not only to produce profitable
wheat crops each year but We expect
to produce as much wheat on the aver
age from one-third Of the land as We
have been producing from two-thirds
OF the land by continuous cropping.

and devising some means Of control.
Hundreds of acres here have had to
be reseeded, some of them two or
three times and the stand Is still. very
poor.
One Of the striking things which
presented itself was the fact that
those fields, in which the seed had
been planted with a lister, were be-
ing injured, while those that had been
surface planted were practically I'M
injured. 1t also developed that the
early planted fields, whether lister or
surface planted, were uninjured. Forty
farmers agreed that early planting
and surface planting gave the best
yields and were never bothered by
the ants. The records of the Agron-
omy Department indicated that May
10th Is about the time for planting
kaflr in southern Kansas, and that
surface planting Is the best method
for sowing.
Several repellants were tried on the
seed, with more or less satisfactory
results. Another set Of experiments
on the treatment Of the seed is now
under way.
