should be turned under once in three or four years.
In some parts of Kentucky the natural productive
ness of soils be much increased by the applca-
ton of materials which are rich in the element phos
phorus. Many soils of the state need lime in some
form before red clover alfalfa can be successfully
grown.
The Extension Department has some fields in
the state where it is demonstrating methods of
storing rundown lands to productiveness. One of
these fields is located at Iryngton This field con-
tains twelve acres, six acres of which were said by
the owner not to be worth one dollar an acre for
farm purposes when taken over by the Extension
Department one year ago. The land literally

washed away By the of ground limestone

under some of the crops grown the land is to be
restored to fertility. The Department is under
tract to leave good stand of red clover alfalfa

over the field. full account of labor and materials
used upon the field is being kept Information with
regard to methods used and progress made will ap-
pear in later writings from the Extension Depart
ment.

TROM the thirteenth census of the United States
we find there are 900 chickens in Ken
- lucky, and that these birds are worth $685.
456 These chickens produced 44313,37 dozen eggs
during that year D91O), which worth $7,6O5116.
In addition to the eggs produced $6o OOS worth of
chickens were raised in 1910. In other words, the
poultry crop of this state for 1910 worth Sl4-
542,124 During that same period the poultry prod
ucts of Missouri were worth $33o181S7. From these
figures it will be that the production of eggs
and chickens in sister state is more than double
that of Kentucky. However, in 1899 the poultry
products in Missouri worth only $lSOOO,OOO;
so that Kentucky is today where Missouri was ten
years ago in the poultry industry. This great in
crease has been due to the fact that Poultry Expert
ment Station was established in Missouri eight years
ago which has served to greatly increase interest in
up-to-date poultry culture on the part of the Mis-
souri, farmer.
The Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station
has recently established poultry farm at Lexington

management of his flock. The poultry houses on
the station farm very practical and can be
adopted by any farmer in the state The farm is
located in the suburbs of Lexington and it is antic
pated that several hundred farmers will become ac-
quainted with the methods followed at the poultry
yards each year. Approximately eight hundred birds
of seven different varieties find home at this pou-
try plant.
Recently the Experiment Station held large
poultry show where 1872 single birds and $50 birds in
pens were exhibited. These chickens came from all
over Kentucky, and it noticeable that the
farmers in this state raising efficient chick
ems while in the past they have raised these use
full types to such great extent 1t might be noted
that not single game bird entered in the show
but that the show made up quite largely of the
egg-aying and dual-purpose breeds.
In selecting any breed the farmer must adopt
the one that appeals to him or that he likes. The
smaller, active chickens such as the Leghorns
are noted for their egg laying while the larger,

legume crops such as red clover, cowpeas soy BEANS
alfalfa, etc. The legumes have the ability to fix
atmospheric nitrogen in the soil, power not pos
sessed by CORN wheat or tobacco. About one-half
the nitrogen required for the growth of legumnous
plants is taken from the air. On most of the soils
of Kentucky should not be grown oftener
than year in three four
2. The crops grown should be fed to stock upon
the farm in so far as the owner can, with careful
study, make this profitable business. The value of
the manure produced should be entered credit in
stock feeding.
3. All stock should be kept bedded with straw or
other cheap litter to retain the liquid manure which
contains about one-half of the plant food value of
the total excrement. The manure should be spread
as soon after being made as is possible 1t should
never be permitted to leach by rains fre-burn
T. Winter crops should always follow Gull
tvated crops They utilize the available plant food
not used by the regular crop, which otherwise
might be lost from teaching, and also prevent much
washing.
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1914-04-07

The common practice of leaving corn and tobacco
fields bare during the winter months permits much
teaching of pant-food elements and much harmful
washing.
Very poor care is taken of farm manure. Be-
tween fifty and Sixty million dollars worth of manure
is produced annually in Kentucky, and approximately
onehalf its value is wasted by teaching by heating
and by washing away in streams.
There is seeming effort the part of farmers
restore fertility to rundown lands by the of
commercial fertilizers. In 1908 the farmers of Ken
lucky bought from $4,000 600 of fertilizers
at cost of $697, 500. The tonnage used kept in
creasing until 1911 and 1912 there purchased
each year from 10000 to $1,000 tons at a cost of
81 406,250. During these ten years, 1on3-1912
the yield per of the five principal crops, corn
tobacco, hay, wheat and OATS showed no increase
The average yields for Kentucky were:
Corn. Tobacco.
Average 1o03-lol2 ..........28.4 bu 1857 lbs.
