A CLOD MULCH FOR WHEAT, NOT DUSf, IS
WHAT AGRNCUL TURAL COLLEGE ADVISES
Some Farmers Parts Of Western Kansas Seem to Have Msunder-
stood the instructions Of Experts in This Particular
Some Further Suggestions Regarding
Prevention of Soil Blowing.

Is plowed deep will hold more nlUis-
ture and develop more plant-food than
may be done with the lister or with
the regular pillow, according to the
choice OF the farmer and the nipple
ments at hand. They are about equal
ly effective II the ground IA properly
cared for thereafter Whenever a
farmer finds 1t possible tn list his
ground in the fall there Is no good
reason not to do so. We discourage
fall blowing with the ordinary plow,
as there certainly viii be danger OF
the soils blowing. AS suggested see
that the soil is listed at right angles
to the prevailing winds. Listed
ground. too, Will hold moisture which
comes in the winter.
Where the ground is listed in the
fall or in the spring 1t should be
worked, gradually, into a level seed
bed before planting time. Such cul'
tivation should begin as early as
possible in the spring, and the crust
{ ould be broken aftel every heavy
rain thereafter With such cultiva-
ton the ground will be left in level
and excellent seeded by wheat plant
ing time. Only such cultivation
should be given as Is necessary to
prevent the forming OF crust and to
keep down weeds.
I'VE advocte the following rotation
for western Kansas: Summer fallow
the first year, planted to winter wheat
that fall; the winter wheat followed
by sorghums, kafir, milo or cane, then
fallow. Sorghums leave the ground
in bad condition to plant wheat. They
drain the soil of its moisture and
plant-food late in the season. When
allowed to rest in a summer fallowed
condition for six or eight months,
however, the soil comes back to its
normal condition and produces wheat
we'll the succeeding year. Winter
wheat and the sorghums are the crops
that make money for western Kansas
farmers, and this rotation insures
maximum yields of both and gives the
farmer two good crops in three
years."

AnHTIs regretted that some farm

ANT is regretted that some farm
ers in parts Of western Kan
has," said Professor w. NJ.
Jardine, head of the farm crops de-
partment shave the impression that
the agricultural college recommended
or Is recommending q dust mulch on
the fallow. A more dangerous prac-
tice could not be suggested. A two
or three inch layer OF finely pulver-
lied soil over q field would offer the
very best chance for the soil to blow.
The dust mulch should be avoided. A
clod mulch is what We advised.
1.-THE alfalfa renovator on wheels,
the alfalfa spike-tooth harrow, the
alfalfa spring-tooth renovator, and
various types OF corn cultivators are
all good implements to use In Guilt
waiting the :allow. They leave the top
soil in a cloddy condition rather than
pulveriaed, and at the same time kill
weeds.
avoid the disk harrow in cultivat-
ing fallow. Whenever 1t Is used set
the disks to run straight. 1t is also
more expensive to cultivate fallow
with the disk harrow than with the
other implements mentioned. In
working the soil, whether 1t be in
blowing 1t or cultivating 1t, every
operation should be performed at
right angles to the wind as far as
practicable.
Occasionally there are wind storms
90 terrific that ground handled in al
most any way Is likely to blow some,
but when farmers see their soils be-
ginning to blow, they should go into
their fields with one or more Of the
cultivators mentioned and work the
land at right angles to the wind. They
will be surprised how effectively 1t
will check the soil from blowing
away.
Ordinarily We recommend spring
blowing, preferably beginning about
the first of May, after the most severe
winds have ceased and after most OF
the regular spring work has been
done. Pillow six to eight inches deep.

The origin of the word Yankee"
has been variously explained. Some
authorities think 1t is corruption oil
the word English, as 1t was pro-
nounced by the American Indians who
called the white people "Yenghies.
1t seems first to have been applied to
the British soldiers about ITS. as a
term of reproach to the New England
ers who afterwards adopted 1t them
selves.
Others hold that Yankee is a cor
ruption Of Jankin. or John. a nick
name given to the English colonists
Of Connecticut by the Dutch settlers
of New York. The Song, Yankee
Doodle" was originally "Nankee
Doodle" and was applied to Oliver
Cromwell.

WHAT EGGS SHOWS WOULD DO FOR KANSAS


What is needed is education. 1t
takes familiarity with proper meth.
DDS of production, handling and mar.
keting to place a perfect egg on the
table of the consumer. Where can
the general farmer get this inforna.
tion now? Where could he get it
better than at a properly conducted
egg show?
When an egg OF poor quality
reaches the table of the consumer it
naturally creates feeling of extreme
disgust. Nothing is more appetizing
than well prepared egg of the best
quality. Nothing is more eXasperat
ing than a poor egg. 1t spoils the
whole meal. Now, toward whom is
this disgust and evaporation aimed?
II it Is in a hotel, the management
is more or less silently cussed. II 1t
is at home the cook comes in for her
share, and possibly there are few
mutterings about cold storage. But
that is not all. The person who gets
a taste of a poor egg does not care
to have eggs for breakfast again I'M
til he has had time to forget his dis
appointment. In the meantime the
egg trade suffers. There is less de-
mand for eggs and there is cor
responding tendency to low prices.
The orange growers Of California
recognized this fact when they in
vited 40 representative growers from
Florida to come to California and
study proper marketing methods.
They paid the travelling expenses Of
these 40 growers because they said
that every time anyone ate a poor
orange from Florida they didn't want
any oranges for a while. An orange
was an orange to them, whether 1t
came from Florida or California, and
the orange trade as a whole was in
jured by just so much.

There is not an item in the list
that may not be largely controlled by
the producer. Dirties are the result
Of slack methods and dirty yards and
nests. Breakage comes from careless
packing. Chick development and rots
come from failing to remove the male
bird after the breeding season, cou-
pied with the failure to keep the eggs
in a temperature of less than IS de-
grees F. Shrunken eggs result from
failure to market the eggs often and
the temptation to hold for rise in
price. Moldy eggs are caused by
keeping the eggs in a moist place.
Eggs, like milk, will absorb odors and
bad flavor results.

Egg shows in Kansas have been
about as scarce as flying machines.
The possibilities of their coming have
not been talked of in glaring head
lines by the daily press. When they
do arrive the excitement they will
cause will be so small fraction OF
that already aroused by the few
fancy flights we have seen or read
of, that 1t will be hardly noticed. In
the easy money they will bring the
farmers they will be as far ahead
as the flying machine will be in ex-
element.
1t has been definitely determined
that II per cent of the eggs market
ed are lost because Of detrimental
changes. For Kansas in 1909 this
meant a loss Of over one million dol
lars. The causes Of the II per cent
loss are as follows:
