the grain into the soil before It is well
prepared for It's reception.
None but good, plump seed should
be sown and the seed wheat that is
mixed with the cookie should be run
through a tanning mill before 1t is
drilled
There seems TO be prevailing idea
that wheat will run out and that the
seed ought to be changed every few
years, but when we have a variety
that is doing well on our farm we
should be slow to make a change and
when We do it should be in a slow
way.
Many good farmers that know
have the same wheat that they had
ten years ago and 1t still continues
to produce satisfactory crops. But
these men have sown none but the
best seed and thoroughly cleaned ev-
cry peck that has been used in their
planting.
On some farms where there are two
or more types of soil it is often a
iudicious plan to change seed from
one type of soil TO another. This also
applies to other small-grain crops

The introduction OF improved ma
chinery. labor-ssving kind. has made
II possible for many farmers to grow
large fields OF potatoes and beans and
complete the work OF harvesting in
time to SOW the field TO wheat.
In this system of crop rotation the
hoed crop will accomplish all that
bare fallow possibly could and the
elements OF fertility left in the soil
after the potato crops and the bean
crops have completed their growth will
prove adequate to give the wheat crop
nice start in the fall
When the potato and bean crops
have been given clean cultivation the
ground will not require blowing. In
fact, an ideal seed bed will result from
simply cultivating and narrowing.
If the land for the wheat field must
be plowed the work should be done
early and the field kept we'll har
rowed up to the time the wheat is
seeded.
From my own experience ! am Of
the opinion that the time of seeding is
of less Importance than having the
seed bed well prepared. and would
much rather delay seeding until the

States Trade Discussed.

Caution in going after export trade
was urged b. William George Bruce
of Milwaukee in an address before the
Sunset club of Oshkosh. His address
was on foreign trade from the stand
point of Wisconsin industries.
Without desiring to disturb pre-
vailing optimism, ! urge the thought
full and circumspect business man to
inquire closely into facts, conditions
and opportunities before determining
upon a course of action along export
lines. The countries shut out from
selling market are also deprived OF a
buying market The countries of Eu-
rope have been consumers as well as
producers. and thus have been excel
lent customers for the products of
South America. The latter country
has in the past sold the greater part
of its product to Europe, hence pend
ing the war. has lost its best custo-
mers. and its ability to buy is proper
tionately impaired
Pending conclusion OF the war the
United States will be called upon TO
supply various foodstuffs, clothing, We.
hicles and articles entering into the
more immediate necessities of life.
while orders of this character will
be temporary only, their volume will
be consider; bly, less than the general
European trade which has been lost

To Give All Road Money Requested.


The state highway commission has
completed its allotment of state road
funds for construction in 1915 and has
notified the various county boards of
the amount available for each county
Applications for state aid registered
with the commission called for the
sum of about s1,350000 in state aid,
but before the distribution was made
the Supreme court decided that the
so-called force clause" Of the state
aid law was unconstitutional. thus
causing all requests for state aid ini-
tiated under this provision of the law
to be thrown out. The valid applica-
tions for state aid remaining amount
ed to $1,2O6.321
Inasmuch as the state highway APP
preparation for next year amounts TO
$3.50, 900 (s1,0O0.O0O provided by di-
rect tax, 100000 from the general
fund of the state and 1000 from
automobile licenses), every unit of
government in the state win receive
the full state aid petitioned for for
1915.
Considering all conditions, the votes
for next year are heavy and indicate
that the people of the state are de-

There are in Wisconsin approx
mately 10000 manufacturing plants.
with an annual output valued at about
eight hundred and fifty million dollars.
There are no Official figures to show
what proportion of this production is
sold in other countries. 1t therefore
becomes necessary to bring together
fragmentary data and facts as may be
obtained and draw from them such es-
Inmates and conclusions as these may
permit.
Inquiry has developed that about
two hundred manufacturing concerns
In the state export a part of their
product TO foreign countries. Many of
these are free in giving actual figures
OF their exports. One manufacturing
concern exports annually to the value
OF $500 900. another $500, 900, another
81 5000 and still another to the ex-
tent OF sS.500.000. and finally one
whose exports exceed 100000.
While Wisconsin does not produce
all of the worlds wants. the articles
purchased by the several foreign coun-
tries leads to the conclusion that
nearly every article produced in Wis

The time is opportune for Wiscon-

FALL FLOWING BEST
FOR ALFALFA CROP
When Work Is Done in Spring
Soil Is Too Loose for Good
termination of Seed.

tBY W, w. WEIR, Wisconsin Agricultur-
al College)
Failure to fall pillow has been the
cause of many unsuccessful attempts
to grow alfalfa on the loan and light
soils.
When the alfalfa seed bed is plowed
in the spring or shortly before plant.
ing. the soil is too loose for good ger
mination and poor stand often re.
suits. The seed. and later the tiny
rootlets, do not have the proper con.
tact with the soil TO sprout and grow
well. When fall blowing is practieed
however. this difficulty is overcome
and by planting time the seed bed is
properly firmed and in the best condi-
ton to promote rapid growth.
From the standpoint of weed Grad.
ication. fall blowing is also impor-
tant TO the alfalfa grower. Weeds
must be quite thoroughly killed cut
before alfalfa VIII do its best and this
is more easily accomplished by fall
blowing. BY disking the field 10 the
spring, when the weed seeds turned
under in the fall begin to come up,
the farmer can get rid of two or three
crops OF pests before the alfalfa is
seeded. II blowing is not done until
spring. these weeds do not come up
until about the same time as the
alfalfa.
Farmers who intend to plant alfalfa
on acid soil may benefit especially by
fall blowing. Such soil must be
treated with lime TO correct the acid
ity and this can be best done in the
winter for then, II the land is plowed,
the lime can be hauled directly from
the cars and placed on the field
