MILLER on CROP ROTATION
VI. L. Man Tells How the Soil Can
BE Kept Fertile.

NJ. F. Miller. professor of agron-
Omy in the College of Agriculture.
told the visiting farmers how to main
tain the fertility of the soils on their
own farms. Keeping up the organic
matter is the first and most funda-
mental problem in maintaining the
fertility of Missouri soils, says Pro-
+ ssor Miller. Keep your soils in a
loose, open, friable condition. Prac-
tice crop rotation. Have a legume
crop in this rotation to supply the nj
trogen and organic matter.
In all our farming in the past
years. he said. We have not materially
decreased the total plant food in our
soils. But We have depleted the
available plant food. We have
burned the organic matter out of our
soils. With the organic matter de-
pleted, no more plant food is made
available. hence poor, wOrnOut
soil. Build up the organic content
of our soils and plant food will be-
come available. This is maintaing
soil fertility.
Professor Miller had a chart to
show the farmers in just what plant
food elements the soils in their own
section were lacking. With the
state as a whole We are most lacking
in phosphates and next in nitrogen,
he said.

Members of Missouri Experiment As
sOciatiOn Apply to Corn Growers.


The members of the Missouri En-
pertinent Association decided yester-
day afternoon to apply for member
ship in the Corn Growers Associa-
ton, and if accepted to dissolve their
present organization, and give their
balance in the treasury of $96.16 to
the Corn Growers Association to be
used in getting out the second an
nual report of that organization.
The experiment association was
organized in 1909 to find out what
the best crops are for the different
localities of the state and what vari-
ETY. of good grain is the best for such
locality. They have done good work
but have been retarded to a great
extent by lack of funds.
The Corn Growers Association
was organized for experiments on
corn. But c. B. Hutchison. secretary
of both organizations, showed that
the corn growers had extended their
work to other crops and that the work
of the two associations was now the
same and that one cooperating Or
ganizatiOn could be much stronger
than two competing. AS the corn
growers receive an appropriation
from the state and the experiment
association does not, it was thought
better to dissolve the latter.

DON'T FEED CORN ALONE
\. J. Meyer Discusses the Proper
Ration to BE Given Hogs.

The lack of prOlificacy OF breed
of hogs is not due to the breed as a
whole but to the feed that is given
them" said to A. j. Meyer. assistant
to the dean of the College of Agri-
culture. in a lecture in the farmers
short course. The continual feed
ing of corn will reduce the prolificacy
of any breed. Every man who feeds
hogs in the United States wants to
feed as much as possible. and no
other feed will equal it if We add
something else that will keep US on
the safe side of the breeding pro-
position
Mr.. Meyer emphasized the fact
that it is the gain in weight that
counts and finally makes itprofita bic.
The time TO feed is when pigs uses
most of his food TO produce weight
and least to keep up the body re-
quirements. This time is when the
PiS - dpout 'HIee AioHlhS oiu. anu
the most profitable and efficient ma
chine for preparing the food is the
scOOp-shovel."
The value of many feeds was dis
cussed and especial emphasis
was placed upon feeding clover hay
or alfalfa. along with a balanced ra-
tion of grain feeds.

FARMER H.ADLEY.

There may be farmers in Missouri
more scientific than Governor Her
bert S. Hadley, but it would be hard
to find one more enthusiastic. When
the Governor comes to Columbia to
address the visitors of Farmers
Week, it will be one farmer speaking
to other farmers. rather than an ex-
ecutive to the people of his state.
Several years ago certain eminent
Missouri physicians told Mr.. Hadley.
then attorney general of Missouri,
that he was threatened with tubercu-
losis. He was advised to seek more
favorable climate. Mr.. Hadley didn't
care to be consumptive and he
didn't want to leave Missouri. So he
decided to try farming as a restora-
tive. After he was elected Governor
he purchased a farm near Jefferson
City and started out to fool the doc
tors.
Governor Hadley has been a big
factor in the back to the farm"
movement. He is a true friend of the
College of Agriculture He opened
the eyes of the country to the fact
that the Ozarks possess wonderful
agricultural opportunities. He has
been active in the campaigns for
good roads.
If you don't believe the Governor
has the laugh on the doctors, take a
good look at him Thursday evening.
You wouldn't pick him out as
white plague" victim and he isn't
When the office seekers become too
persistent or a Democratic legisla-
ture begins to work on his nerves, he
gets into his automobile and motors
out to his farm. The Governor makes
a veritable experiment station out of
his farm. Every discovery made by
the College of Agriculture is given a
try-out by the Governor. He knows
almost as much about poultry as he
does about politics, and he prides
himself on the fat porkers that he
raises.
OF course We shouldn't like to say
that Governor Hadley never makes
mistakes. We shouldn't like to vouch
for his judgment on the time to plant
potatoes, or as to the age at which
a calf should be weaned, but then the
Governor was educated for the laws.
He never attempted farming until he
became Governor But We do con-
tend that, opportunities considered,
there are no better farmers and that
Mr.. Hadley at least has the proper
spirit"

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

In grandfather's day the
American family stayed
pretty much in one place.
1t grew up on the old farm.
or lived in the comfortable
farm house. The children
went not more than a mile
to school. and going away
to college was exceptional.
Travel had not become
general.
But the world has been ex-
tended. Today the typical
American family is scattered
much Of the time. Father
hurries back and forth be-
tween cities on business.
Mother has her own interests,
and goes to meetings. con-
ventlons, on visits and jaunts.
These modern conditions
are all good. They mean a
broade, life and better op-
portunities. But they also
bring a certain element of
anxiety and loneliness, due
to separation. Trains are
delayed, epidemics break out
in schools, rumors and alarms
come flying from many di-
rections, very often ground
less, yet causing worry and
fear.
The first resource in such
emergencies should be the
long distance telephone.
The family with the best
realization Of the telephone
possibilities enjoys the great
est peace Of mind.
