IMPORTS OF FARM PRODUCTS
Immense Amount Of Money Paid to
Foreigners That Should Have
Gone to American Farmers.

The tremendous acreage planted
to corn last year developed the ever
present pessimist who talked about
over-production and consequent
lowering Of prices to the injury Of
the farmers market. These people
do not know that last year the United
States imported $6,800,000 worth Of
oats. more than 100000 worth Of
potatoes. 100000 worth Of peas,
over 100000 worth Of beans.
3s,000,000 worth of sugar, $3,5OO,0O0
worth Of tobacco. This Is money paid
to foreigners which should have gone
into the pockets Of the American
farmers II they had raised enough of
these several products. AS long as
our population increases as rapidly as
it does now. there is little danger Of
over production of farm products.

FOOD EN- CASSEROLE.

or course, all cooking in casserole
is done in the oven. If one uses gas,
it may seem an expensive method OF
cooking. but when one realizes how
much can be done with the oven, the
work may be planned to save every
bit OF heat. There are on the market
small ovens which can be used on the
little simmer burner at a very slight
expense. The oven will save its price
in a few weeks gas bill.
There are small stone dishes which
may be used to serve hot bits of any
vegetable or meat and make most ap-
petizing dishes. For example, II one

oDowING RED CLOVER CROP

Al for Farm Trovbies-Humus
Is Important Factor.

The production of clover is the
toondation OF agriculture in the east
en- and north central states, writes
J. NJ Westgate and F. IL. Hillman.
United States department OF agricul-
tafe. as upon its successful growth
oopends TO a large extent the main
esoance of the nitrogen content OF the
soils in the principal erop-producing
sections.
Glover must not be looked upon a.
cure-all for farm troubles Its roots
90 add large quantities of the very
valuable nitrogen and humus to the
soil, but aside from bringing up .
limited supply Of phosphoric acid and
potash from the lower layers of the
soil it does not add the other impor-
tant fertilizer elements to the soil up
on which it grows: upon many soils
these elements particularly phos-
pAoric acid must be added the same
~ though no clover was being grown
upon them.
30 long as the soil is fairly well sup
Piled with humus, and 1t 10 not too
greatly depleted Of the ordinary fer
tilizer elements. there is usually no
dtmculty In obtaining successful
stands of clover by the ordinary meth
DDS OF seeding; but when continued
cropping reduces the humus content
of the soil to 4 point below that re-
quired for successful clover produc-
ton 1t becomes necessary necessary
to adopt radical means to restore the
ground to its proper condition.

lar section. The substitution Of alsike

ts the most potent factor In the fail.
ure OF red clover ip the sections, but
other factors. such as too acid soil
and the presence OF funguous diseases
or insect enemies, must also be over
come.
Lining and proper drainage will
overcome the soil acidity. The insect
and fungous diseases may be held in
check by clipping or cutting at the
proper time, and by furnishing the
proper soil conditions to produce .
crop so vigorous that 1t will succeed
in spite of the enemies which prove
troublesome to less vigorous stands

much difference Of opinion exists.
