SEEDING CLOVER
ON WINTER WHEAT

An extensive farmer in central Iowa
reports to the Iowa Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station that he has the best
of success with clover in seeding it
on winter wheat, drilling it in in
stead of sowing it broadcast. He
maintains that his yield Of wheat is
not decreased by this practice, but, il
anything, increased. He says that
the light disking forms mulch and
reduces evaporation. His average
yield of wheat for some years has
approximated forty bushels an acre
and he has wide reputation for his
success with clover.
"The average farmer who puts
clover in on winters wheat sow
the seed to chance" says Prof. H. D.
Hughes of Iowa State College. "The
theory is that the freezing and thaw-
ing in early spring will honeycomb
the land and that the seed will in his
way become covered, or that heavy
rains, dust blowing back and forth,
and other things like that will cover
it enough for termination. 1t can be
seen that this practice is responsible
for the loss of many seedlings. Too
much dependence is placed on mere
chance; and proper conditions for
termination are not secured.
"When drilling in the seed on win
ter wheat does not seem advisable,
the seeding may be delayed until the
ground is dry enough to warrant the
use of a harrow after seeding. Bet
ter still, roller may be used instead
of a harrow. Experiments conducted
show that the use of roller helps
the yield of wheat. A harrow is like
ly to cut bushel or two off the yield
of wheat, but it will help to make
clover crop, and that is worth the
wheat lost and then some.

When the first pulp mills were built
In Maine the lumbermen regarded
them merely as convenient market
for the smaller trees that were not fit
for lumber. These logs were called
pulp wood" and were looked upon
with contempt by all hands. including
the river drivers who navigated them
TO the boom. The little logs would
not bear the weight of man and
were productive of many cold bath
Tor those who handled them.
Nowadays 1t is very different. The
pulp manufacturers no longer depend
upon the little logs. but Gull out the
large trees. leaving the smaller ones

Maine the harvest for the pulp mills
will reach the enormous total of $780,

from 400,0O0,000.

Smelling and Tagging the Ear.

er made will drop them evenly, be-
cause they are too irregular. Yet to
get the best yields the seed must be
evenly distributed in the rows. Con-
sequently, for the best crops the seed
must be graded so that the kernels
of the same size and general shape
may be planted together.
This grading can be done best by
Smelling off the irregular butt and
tip kernels and then Smelling each
ear by itself. If the kernels on any
ear are small they should be put into
one basket. If they are of medium
size they should be put into second
basket. If they are large and blocky,
they should be put into third
basket. In this way kernels of SINH
lar size and shape are all together.

Before taking the planter to the
field it should be tested carefully to
see that it drops the desired number

sides of the planter, for sometimes
one side will work right while the

COOPERATION EXPERIMENTS


ment station at Iowa State College
has ever undertaken is likely to
prove of larger benefit than its CO.
operative experiments with Iowa
farmers. 1t is taking the experiment
station work to the farmers instead
of making them come to the station
farm.
Last winter Director Chas. F. Cur
tiss engaged a Canadian expert in
cooperative experimental work, John
Buchanan, to come to the college to
establish similar work here. He
has under way now more than 300
different experiments in connection
with that of many progressive farm
ers; they are located in every county
in Iowa save eleven, and they cover
eight different and important farm
problems. Every one of the $50 and
more cooperating farmers has set
aside small tract of ground from
one-half to one and one-half acres in
size for the purposes of the expert
mental work. If he is seeding il to
some crop, the college station fur
nishes the seed; if a special fertillz-
ing material is required, it provides
for a good many times over in the
increased returns.
Professor Kildee's plan includes
the use of alfalfa, red clover, winter
rye, clover, oats, peas, amber cane,
COW peas, soy beans and barn yard
millet. Each separate crop was
planted so that it was ready for cut
ting by the time the preceding crop
had been exhausted. The planting
plan provided green feed from May
/ to about October I. Moreover, it
gave the most economical use of the
ground possible and a few acres did
the service of many in taking care OF
the college dairy herd of some thirty
animals.
The alfalfa and red clover were cut
green from the regular alfalfa and
clover fields on the dairy farm. The
other crops were specially seeded on
small strips of land lying side by side
and varying from one acre to two
and one-half acres in extent. Winter
rye was first cut; then alfalfa and
then clover. The winter rye gave
green feed from early in May until
about May 20; the alfalfa provided
green feed from May 20 to about
June 1, and then clover furnished
green feed until about June rs. The
green feed was cut early in the aft
e1ncon and hauled into the barn.
Some of it was fed Immediately The
cows were turned into the pasture
at night time and part of. the fore
noon; then put into the barn and
given the remainder of the green
feed cut the day before. The milk
flow was abundant throughout tire
summer last year in spite of the dry
year, and he increased production
