In the agitation on forestry there
has been an apparent purpose to lead
the public to think that poor land will
produce good timber. This erroneous
idea has materially affected the whole
situation and led the public to believe
that only lands unsuited to farming
would be taken for forestry.
The fact is that there are no areas
of any size in this state where good
timber has grown upon poor soil and
this applies particularly to the hard
woods and white pine. Nor does dense
jack pine grow upon land that will not
produce good farm crops. Any at
tempt to establish an immense forest
upon poor soil must result in miserable
failure. 1t follows that we should
plant our forests upon good soil that,
for reasons of roughness or rockiness
are not suited to farming and, for
tunately, there are several millions of
acres of this kind of land in various
portions of the state.

ALFALFA
Lack of Inocula ton Causes AL
falfa Failures.

Lack of incubation accounts for most
of the alfalfa failures with new seed
ings of alfalfa that have been reported
to L. F. GRADER, of the College of
Agriculture of the University of Wis
consin, secretary of the Alfalfa Order
of the Wisconsin Experiment Associa-
ton. About onethird of the total
number of failures were caused by too
thick seeding of the nurse crop, that is
over one bushel per acre of oats, bar
ley or wheat. A few of the members
of the order had poorly drained and
sour soils and one man failed to get
stand because he seeded his alfalfa too
late in the fall-after August Is.
incubation by spreading alfalfa or
sweet clover soil over the field just
previous to seeding would have prevent
ed many failures. Those Wisconsin
farmers who have not yet seeded their
alfalfa, there is still plenty of time,
should write to the agronomy depart
ment of the College of Agriculture of
the University of Wisconsin to secure
soil for incubation if there is none
available in the neighborhood. Enough
will be sent them to inoculate small
area, and on the following year soil
from this patch may be used to inocu-
late larger fields.
AS ninety per cent of the men re-
ported successful stands and the few
failures reported could have been
largely prevented, 1t is evident that
Wisconsin is we'll adapted to alfalfa.
Of course, with the best of care there
will be some winterkilling due to
smothering by the formation of ice
sheets over the ground, or by the
heaving action Of frost.

Many Coming to Wisconsin.

Many settlers are coming from ILL.,,
and Iowa to the cheap lands of upper
Wisconsin, and among them are more
wsllto-do people than have ever
before came to this state.
At least the fact has been brought
home to the people of those states
that upper Wisconsin is the country
to which they should go. This result
investigation shows, has been produced
manly from the analysis of the United
States census used in the advertising
and printing matter of the Wisconsin
Advancement association. The alb
solute fairness and evident sincerity of
this method of publicity has appeared
to the conviction of the home seeker.
They know that the Wisconsin people
are acting on the square and that
their statements can be depended upon.
In this connection it may be said
that the Wisconsin Advancement
association is the only organization of
it's kind In the United States that ex
clusively uses the United States census
figures. In this way all excessive
baggage is cut out of the claims put
forth and the readers are convinced of
the truth of what they read. How
ever, in order 10 make such cam-
paign success, tbs necessary to pre-
sent the figures from the state, and in
doing so it is natural that the pro-
motors of some sections should be
displeased-but it is necessary in
interest of truth and that Is what Is
what Wisconsin people want. Our
people do not have to deceive anyone.
Inquiry for Wisconsin land is many
times greater than in the past and is
steadily increasing.

States Interest In Forestry.

Is is here submitted that the state
has but one interest, at least but one
primary interest, in forestry, and that
is the production of trees. 1t may be
that If the forest reserve were located
almost anywhere else than 1t is. there
might be something in the matter of
regulation of the river flow, but at
best that is more of an incident than
principle feature Of forestry. In this
connection it may we'll be noted that
if the farmers of the state will plant
2,500,00O acres of alfalfa and seed
clover with all other crops, they will
produce in the next ten years an alb
sorbent condition in the soil of ap-
proximately IL, 100000 acres that will
do more for the control Of river flow
than all the trees that will be planted
in the next thousand years, and at the
same time add more than $500, 900, 900
to the annual agricultural output of
the state.
port of the future woodworking in
stitutions of the state, we should grow
them in various portions of the state
where they will be convenient to the
many manufacturing cities, and not
in one distant portion and where Mich
igan institutions would have an adj
vantage over the principal cities of
Wisconsin.
1t is we'll known to all who have
paid attention to the situation, that
there are millions of acres of land in
various parts of Wisconsin that, for
reasons of roughness or rockiness, are
entirely unsuited to agriculture, and
that are the best timber soil in the
state. These areas are ajacent to the
many manufacturing cities of the state,
and their use for forestry would dis
tribute the resultant advantages over
the state in such manner as to warrant
The expense of the untold millions of
dollars which it is proposed to invest
in this great undertaking.
These lands are usually clay soils
where the run-off is rapid and where
forest ga owth would materially affe CT
the flow of the rivers. Recent losses on
the Black, Trempealeau, and other
rivers bear peculiarly upon this fea-
ture Of the situation. If we are to
have forests, and certainly we should
have, we should pay attention to the
interest of the whole state.

HOW TO HELP THE CORN
CROP.

There will be II great deal Of i'm
mature, unsound corn next fall if the
present conditions do not change ma
terially.
Late rains delayed the planting two
or three weeks. On June 1st, much
corn is still being planted What was
planted before the rainy weather set
in is just showing above the ground.
Few farmers have done their cultiva-
ting at this date. (June 3rd J.
Killing frosts may usually be expec-
ted between Sept. 14th and Oct. LIST,
which would catch the corn before it
is ripe
Now a great deal can be done to
hasten the corn to maturity. Suitable,
available plant food will undou btedly
hasten ripening.
Top dressing of the corn with 900 to
400 lbs. per acre of fertilizer Analysing
from to percent ammonia, to IL
percent available phosphoric acid and
to percent potash will do the work.
This top dressing is best applied some
time before the corn reaches II to Is
inches in height. 1t can be distributed
through the fertilizer dropper of a
grain drill.
When using a grain drill for this
purpose, if the shoes or the disks are
taken off, fertilizer can be applied to
the corn without disturbing The plant.
One of the simplest and most eff
fective ways to apply the fertilizer is
to put it in through regular fertilizer
distributor. This implement is carried
in stock by large implement manufac-
turers and can be obtained at COM
paratively small price. 1t is especially
built for the distribution of fertilizer,
and can be regulated so that as small
a quantity as 200 lbs. can be evenly
distsibuted
The fertilizer should applied just be-
fore cultivation. If the ground is
stirred to a depth of 2 to inches by
cultivation, the plant food will be
brought into immediate reach of the
feeding roots.
Something must be done if much of
the corn is to be we'll matured by fall.
Top dressing is good practice.
Nitrogen hastens stalk growth;
phosphoric acid and potash push for
ward the maturing of the crop, and
the filling of the ear.

Some Untoward Conditions

In the northern portion of Wisconsin
there are vast areas If cut-over lands
thatare now covered with growing tim
Der These areas are doing we'll at the
present time and will continue in the
future. 1t is true that they are more
or less subject to for est fires, and 1T is
claimed that the forestry department
is doing much for its protection, but
the owners of these lands, do not ap-
pear to have much faith in the effec-
tiveness of the protection promised by
the patrol system of the forest depart
meut. They are experienced woods
men and know that under certain con-
ditions forest fires will prevail against
all efforts of man.
But large part of the upper por-
ton of the state Is what is termed
{" burned over country" and it is here
that the problems OF forestry are CEN
tered. 1t is easy to say that we will
plaut trees and watch them grow. 1t
is easy enough to plant them--at large
costs-but it is another thing to make
them grow under the conditions that
generally prevail. Aud what are those

r e. Pritchard of Chicago, who has
farm in upper Wisconsin, says that
the land there is the best and cheap

year he cut three tons of clover hay

orally it is berry bushes and grasses of
various kinds that decay annually and
reproduce their kind. So dense is this
growth that to attempt to make trees,
more especially pines, grow nnder that
condition would be to attempt the
impossiable. 1t cannot be done. This
area involves millions of acres, es-
pecially In the region where the state
has already massed 100000 acres and
the forestry board proposes the pur-
chase of million more acres.
In order to start trees on this burned
over area it will be necessary to totally
subdue the soil, and that means that it
will have to be plowed. Under this
condition it will cost the state approx
imately $50 per acre when the trees
are planted and as much more to
bring them to maturity. 1t is fifty
million dollar proposal and should be
looked upon as nothing less.
This matter should be clearly under
stood, for the proposal of the forestry
department at the present time is
that tress shall be stuck into the mass
of grass and miscellaneous plant
growth with the expectation that they
will thrive and become forest a
proposal as ridiculous as to scatter
onion seed in a mass Of weeds and
hope for crop.

FOOD RATE Err THAN FORESTS
There Are Substitutes for the One, But
Not for the Other
Chicago Record Herald,)

To the Editor: MIR. Bradfords cure
for floods via forests would be more
convincing were it not for the fact
that history refutes it. Let him put
his moss or sponge on slanting shelf
and pour water on to demonstrate the
fact that the moss or sponge will alb
sorb lot of water Then (here is
the real test) after the moss or sponge
is full of water pour on some more wa
ter, and he will see not only that the
second lot of water will run off, but
that it will carry with it a large per-
centage of the water previously held by
the moss or sponge. 1t is a second
heavy rain, or a heavy one following
sufficient precipitation to thoroughly
soak up the soil, that causes the dam
aging floods.
1t is well known that there were as
bad floods in the Mississippi valley
long before the forests were "devas-
tated" as there are now. The solu-
ton is not in trees.
by filling the farm lands with hu,nus
from such sources as clover and other
green growth plowed under, and in so
doing better crops will be produced.
We are doing this in Wisconsin.
Nothing has so much retarded the
settlement of the cut-over lands of up
per Wisconsin, as this idea that they
should be maintained as forests for
flood control We have found that
they will, better serve the public in
the production of grams, clover,
alfalfa, sugar beets, potatoes and
other crops. There are substitutes
for lumber, but there are none for
food. Here is an agricultural empire
in the making that our forestry prop
agranda would keep in timber while
the cost of food stuffs increases.
The acreage used for food produc-
ton is many times that which can be
devoted to timber, and it is well
known that much more can be done by
proper treatment of deeply plowsd land
than by covering unplowed and pack
ed land with trsss. There are plenty
of good reasons for forestry without
deluding ourselves with the untenable
theory that it will control floods Let
us start a propaganda for the proper
treatment of fields, and we will not
ONLY have less floods but more food.

II Uncle Sam is so anxious about the
future food supply of the nation as to
spend millions of dollars putting
water on or taking it off, as the case
may be, in distant regions where only
partial benefit can possibly result,
why not clear upper Wisconsin land
the best to be had anywhere and the
nearest to the market? Would 1t not
be well for our good uncle to give at
tsntion to this matter?
