Reel LAMAT|ON or WASTE LANDS

Following is a thesis, written by
John Longley, who recently gradua.
ted at the Russellville Agricultural
School, which Commissioner Page
sends instead of his usual letter
and advises all farmers to read
closely:
One of the greatest questions that
COnfrOnts the farmers of today is
that of returning and maintaining
the lost fertility Of the worn out soils
all over the country. Under the
system of home-steading, when the
plant food was mined out by heavy
crops and improper cultivation, the
farmer merely moved westward
prospecting for newer and more
fertile fields. But with the increase
of population, almost all the tillable
government land has been taken up,
and we ask, Where may these new
farmers and immigrants settle?"
The answer to the above question
will be found if you visit some of the
rural districts abandoned years ago
by our erandfathers. AS you pass
along the road, you look out across
the fields of growing crops, the
meadows green with clover, the
grassy slope affOrding pasture for
the sleek, pure bred cattle; and you
contrast the scene with another
in the same setting only few years
ago. What is now a productive field
was then a mere waste the clover
meadow a marsh; the pasture a
bare hillside; the cattle sCawny
and half starved. Leaving the
beautiful, well cultivated field be.
hind you soon come to an orchard
where all kinds of fruits, from d
strawberry to an apple, are grown
on what was rocky hillside, the
mate to the pasture we left behind
Beyond the orchard we find {
neat farm home. which, with i'll
beautiful flower beds, shade trees
garden, and barn tells plainly that
an intelligent and independent
farmer lives there.
When these progressive farmers
first settled on this land in was SC
poor it would not grow hardly any,
thing, SO they set about at once to
remedy the defect, Commercial
fertilizers, obtained by paying out
vast sums Of money, proved to be
of only temporary value, AS the
men discovered that this chemical
fertilizer did not improve, but rather
injured the texture of the soil, they
began to seek a better method of
restoring the fertility, The United
States Government thru the Depart.
ment of Agriculture helped them in
their struggle by establishing and
maintaining experiment stations
where the best methods were work
ed out aud proved @
This information has been hand
ed out gratis to the farmers with
the best Of results. One Of the
easiest ways, and in fact the only
safe way TO restore the soil fertility,
is by raising live stock in connec-
ton with the crop When The pro.

preferably as butter which carries
away practically no plant food,
nearly IS per cent of the fertilizing
value of the feed is returned to the
soil in the form of manure, after
the animal nutrients have been
taken out. This manure, on being
applied to the soil, increases the
amount of plant food, improves the
texture, and increses the water hold
ing capacity. Not the least benefit
derived from barn-yard manure is
the chemical effect of the bacteria,
and acids, that acts upon the soil
parcticles, and render available the
plant food that has been locked up.
A farm should be laid out and
the crop rotation so planned that
one piece of ground is not occupied
by the same crop two years in sue
cession. Unless this is done, the
plant food content of the soil rapid
ly decreases. and as each plant
takes more of one certain element
than of any other, the fertility is
said to be one-sided Most people
farm their land only in the summer
but the progressive farmers rotation
calls for winter crops of small grain,
vetch or clover, to hold the soil if it
washes badly, and to take up all the
available plant food to prevent
teaching. These cover crops can be
used as grain or hay, cut and fed
and the manure returned, or they
may be pastured and then plowed
under. Another and better method,
SO far as the benefit of the soil is
concerned, consists of plowing under
the whole crop when it is green.
This last method is called green
manurins' Its benefits come from
the fact that it returns all the plant
food, adds humus, thus increasing
the water-holdng capacity, and inl-
proves the texture of the soil, loos.
enine up a clay soil and binding
sandy sandy soil together. When
peas, clover or vetch (the lesumee)
are plowed under, the benefits are
still greater, as these plants have
the power of gathering nitrogen
from the air BY growing these leg
unes a farmer can save money on
his nitrogenous fertilizer BILL
In connection with all that has
been said, and indeed, without it,
nothing could be done, proper tiIlaee
is of vast importance. In preparing
the land, the depth Of plowins de-
pends upon the quality and texture
Of the soil, the amount of trash and
foreign matter to be buried, aud the
crop to be grown, Suffice it to say
that the best possible preparation is
none too good, well pulverized
seed bed being essential. No less
important than the tillage Of pre-
paIation Is the tillage of cultivation.
The ground should be disced or har-
.rowed after each rain before plant
ing and after the crop 10 grown, a
dust mulch should be maintained to
conserve moisture This leaves the
ground in good mechanical condi-
ton for the next crop, which may
well be winter cover crop We

falling distance of six feet, landing on
his head. He was hurriedly extricated
from his perilous position and the SER
vices of physician summoned. On ex-
animation he was found to be suffering
from fracture of several ribs, his back
strained, and other bruises of minor i'm
portance. The injured man was re-
moved TO his home on the Summit,
where for several days he was threatened
with traumatic pneumonia, but this
danger has been obviated, and while yet
confined to his residence is improving,
but it will be some time before he can
resume his duties at this office.
