ARE NO MORE WILD OYSTERS
Not One Bushel In a Thousand Put on
Market 10 Now Found Grow
Ing Naturally.

The popular idea of the source of
oysters is that they grow wild In
creeks, estauries. etc, and that men

q bushel or two at time. Not one
bushel in one thousand of natural oys-
ters ready for market is found grow
ing naturally. Instead OF growing nat.
urally, the artificial propagation, cult.
vation and planting of oysters on a
large scale now produces more than
1000 bushels of mature oysters,
against one bushel of mature oysters
growing Wild.
Oyster Farming is now productive
industry, as completely as is grain
farming on the enormous grain fields
of the west. 1t is we'll compared to
grain farming. except that the grow
ing of oysters is farm more compli'
Gated, expensive and hazardous.
A large oyster farm comprises many
thousands of acres OF land under from
is to rs feet of water In the great
bodies of salt water. Often these
farms are situated several miles from
the shore. The small boats used In
the catching of wild oysters would be
useless in the propagation, placing OF
catching of the crops on these great
oyster farms. Steamers and gasoline
boats are employed. Some OF the large
steamers are more than $50 feet II

as rye or clover, after IL has made its
spring growth. II may be more i'm
portant to the land TO turn under this
organic matter than 1t Is to pillow the
land in the fall. The one great dis
advantage of fall blowing, outside
of washing. is that 1t does not allow
the accumulation of organic matter in
the soil to so great an extent as when
the land is spring plowed. Conse'
quently, as lands become more worn
and IL becomes more and more neces-
sary to build up organic matter. there
are many cases where fall blowing
| will become less common and winter
crops will be grown for turning under
| in the spring. On good land, how.
ever, fall blowing is usually desirable
| from the point of view OF the imme-
date crop following.
A practice which Is taking the
place of fall blowing to a certain ex.
tent In NJ issouri Is fall disking of
lands. Where lands are dlsked in the
fall or early winter particularly corn
stalk land, certain of the advantages
of fall blowing are realized. That is,
the ground is made more absorptive
of moisture, bacterial action is stimu-
lated, and the land comes through in
the spring considerably looser than
when this fall disking has not been
done. The loosening OF the surface
with a disk on rolling land tends to
increase washing and 1t must be used
with discretion on such lands. Farm
ers are coming more and more to
disk stalk lands either in the fall oil
spring before blowing, cutting up the
stalks and working them into the
soil to save the organic matter to the
land. The time is coming when the
bur!ng of corn stalks will have en-
tirely passed. except possibly on som'
{ OF the best overflow bottoms.
Briefly speaking, fall blowing is par
ticularly adapted to good prairi'
lands; and deep fall blowing Is bette
than shallow blowing on any land
: although this depends largely upoi
the depth OF the soil From seven t
: nine inches would be called a goo

Roots are not widely grown In
America, but are exceedingly desir'

Silage is more often fed in the United
States than are roots. Feeding roots
and silage with grain has been found
by the American experiment stations
TO be o vry profitable practice. These
feeds have reduced the amount Of
grain required In fattening sheep
thus adding to the profit of the pur
