in this world good things just as fully conta-

NOT AN ENTIRE Loss

Many Cache county farmers have drawn long
faces and some have come near giving up in de.
pair owing to the spelling of their first crop of hay
by the heavy rains of two weeks ago. True It is
that great damage was done the crop--hundreds
and perhaps thousands of tons of alfalfa was total.
ly spoiled for feeding purposes, but according to
experts such crop yet has intrinsic value for the
farmer. According to Prof H. D. Scudder, agron.
omist O. the Oregon Agricultural College few farm
know the value of spoiled hay or they could
accept temporary reverse, such that recently
suffered, as source OF permanent good. This ex-
pert is quoted as having estimated the fertlizing
value of hay according to the following figures:

gen. hVe pounds OF phosphorus and 80 pounds of
potassium. II this amount of plant food WIS TO he

cutting this year about three tons per acre. the

THE BEET SUGAR PIONEERS

Those men who have been doing what is called
lobbying for sugar beets have been serving the
whole country. They have been both pioneers and

in this country. The promoters have had to do
great deal of lobbying both in Washington and
among the farmers. In Iowa they had to make

A NEEDLESS TARIFF ON FOOD

The inconsistency Of Democratic tariff rev
sion is shown in many ways, notably by the pro-
position 10 put duty OF five cents a bunch on ban
anas. The Democrats have been loud in professions
OF determination to reduce the cost of living by
cutting down the tariff. Bananas are almost ex-
cmsiNey Of tropical growth. small quantity of
the fruit is produced in the warmer sections Of the
United States, but not enough to affect materially
tie situation Practically the reliance for the ban
ana suppty is upon foreign The fruit has
become popular The quantity imported has in.
creased to enormous proportions within compar,
atiyely few years. The Democratic revsers ex.
pected 10 raise 100000 annually from the duty
on bhnanos. And the consumers will be soaked"
far more than that amount. Already II is announc,
ed that the imposition of duty will add from sl5-
600 10 $4,000 900 to the of the fruit for
the producers and shippers always quick to take
advantage OF such conditions. When 1t comes TO
raising they will go the revisers several points
hetter, and the consumer will pay the freight. Ba

STUFF BEHIND THE CROP.
It's Always There-Suocessful Farm
ing Means Discovering It.

It's Always There-Successful Farm
ing Means Discovering II.
Behind every big crop you will find
the stuff that made it grow. 1t may
not all be in the form Of a finely
ground dust purchased in a bag, nor in
crop plowed under, nor in a heavy
application Of barnyard scrapings, but
wherever there is the big crop there
must be the abundance Of availa BILE
elements to produce it. There are 9th
err things than fertilizers that make
crops grow.
The old Englishman Tull claimed
that "tillage is fertilizer" and If you
mean by fertilizer something that
brings fruitful return Tull was about
right.
If you are in the field when the crop
that makes the remarkable yield is
planted you will usually find deep and
careful blowing and repeated harrow
ing. rolling and dragging that pro-
duce perfect seed bed, firm below,
free from clods. fine on the surface to
hold moisture during drought Con-
tinue to watch this crop and you will
find that the tillage is frequent and
careful; that there is an extra dose Of
fertilizer added just before fruiting
time. The invariable tendency is to
hasten seeding by neglecting tillage.
and quite as invariably 1t is mis-
take. A few days in planting have
little to do with the yields of most
crops. but an extra narrowing Of the
seed bed may mean great deal. Those
who skimp on tillage are usually bless
ed with naturally perfect soil of
sand and loan. but they usually have
shortage of natural fertility which
they must make good.
If you must skimp on tillage do 1t
after the crop is planted, but have first
conditions right.-Country Gentleman.

Plenty Of nne tomatoes can be had
without any trouble II hardwood ashes
are used as a fertilizer and are also
sifted on the leaves to keep on the lit
tie black dies.
Avoid the use Of too much water on
the lettuce plants. 1t may cause them
to damp OF. and 1t will tend to pro-
duce soft and splindling plants. Stocky
plants are an important factor in pro
ducing a good crop Of lettuce.
Mustard and cress are two of the
finest salads we have. Sow in shallow
drills three or four inches apart. Cut
three weeks from date Of sowing with
shears. Wash and serve with salt and
bread and butter or with a mayonnaise
dressing.
A fertilizer that contains about 4 per
cent of nitrogen and about to 10 per
cent of each Of the mineral elements
is well adapted to general trucking or
market gardening. If additional nitro
gen is needed 1t can be supplied by
top dressing with nitrate Of soda ut the
rate Of 100 to 200 pounds to the acre.

CABBAGE IN THE FIELD.


manure can be turned under previous
to planting in the fall. If fertilizers
are used at planting time they should
carry normal quantities of phosphoric
acid and potash, but only small per-
centage Of nitrogen. There are two
reasons for this: ID A slow vegetative
growth is desired at this season in or
der that the plant may be prepared to
withstand the most trying period of the
winter; e, nitrogen. if applied literally
when the plant is small will. because
of it's solubility. be lost, as the plant
will not be able to use it as fast as it
becomes available. Then. too. liberal
amount of nitrogen available at this
period would induce rapid, succulent
growth, which would make the plants
tender and unfit them for passing the
severe weather of the winter.
A satisfactory fertilizer for the plant
ing season will carry ~ or per cent
of nitrogen, & to 8 per cent Of phOsphor-
ic acid and about 10 per cent of potash.
This fertilizer should be scattered
broadcast over the area at the rate of
1000 to 1000 pounds per acre.-Bulle-
