Glover on Sandy Soil.

J. s. Horton, one of the Grand
Traverse peninsula farmers, argues
that good clover can be grown upon
the very lightest of sandy soil provid-
ed the soil is we'll fortified. He
found the other day a stool Of clover
&c inches in length which was in \
field sowed July 9 of last year. The
land was the lightest kind and his
experience goes to show that II is
possible TO raise a satisfactory clover
crop on light land IL 1t is properly fer;
tilted and prepared. A little dis
lance from the place where this clover
was grown was a piece Of light land
that had been gown at the same time
without being fortified and he failed
to secure a crop or even a catch. Mr..
Horton has been engaged in the bust
ness of raising hay all his life and his
conclusions are that It is possible to
secure a crop of clover on the light
est kind OF land II II Is prepared prop
erly and given a treatment OF barn
yard manure. He believes one OF the
greatest mistakes the farmers in this
region make is raising too little clio
yer and too much timothy, which Is
just as hard on the soil as wheat and
in a short time wears out the land so
that Il is valueless for hay raising
purposes.

of new methods for fruit growing In
the past the farmers with 10. 10 or 20
acres Of trees have had no difficulty
in cultivating and caring for their or

general farming, but the 200, 300, 500

One of the largest Of our large pub
fishing houses has a contract with an
efficiency engineer who once each
month makes critical inspection of
the big plant and prepares a formal
report suggesting new methods and
pointing out desirable short cuts. In
the last analysis the farm is a fac
tory, the same as the dairy COW, and
can be profitably inspected by efiici-
ency men. The farmer, however, IN
like the publisher, does not have to
bear the expense of the inspections.
The federal government is training
efficiency agriculturists and stationing
them about the country. All the far
mer has to do to get the benefit OF
their scientific knowledge Is to write
to the department asking for help.
The government forthwith sends one
OF it's men to inspect the farm, test the
soil and make practical suggestions.
The above is a picture OF j. f. thinner,
assistant agriculturist for northwest

Nineteen stops were made and Mt
each stop the people were treated to
series Of lectures upon alfalfa as a

Samples of alfalfa seed and booklets
describing the growing of alfalfa
were distributed at each stop. In
addition to the 10 day meetings two
evening sessions were held, at which
the subject Of alfalfa was given full
consideration. Local growers were

which the 800 acres now IN his or

impossible to accomplish this feat
with a hand cultivator or the ordi-
