shield the former until it is sufficiently
thin seeding Of rye and barley used in
connection with alfalfa is common
instance of this method. On dry lands,
| however, where the scarcity of water
must be considered, this plan is open
to the objection that the nurse crop
deprives the soil of a certain amount
of much-needed moisture. Many farm
ers, therefore, prefer to introduce al
falfa and similar slow-starting crops
| by drilling in the seed in high-cut stub
| BILE of thinly sown millet or thickly
| seeded kaf1r corn.
Summer FalIow Facilities.
The use of the summer fallow great
| ly facilitates excessive soil blowing in
| sections where dangerous winds are
prevalent in the summer time, because
the land is left fully exposed. This
danger may be avoided to a consid-
cradle extent by seeding rows of
coarse-growing crops at intervals
across the fallow fields at right angles
/ to the direction of the prevailing
winds. Where the wind danger is es-
pecially great it might even be desir-
able to abandon the summer fallow
altogether, substituting for it legu-
minous crop which may be plowed
under in the fall This practice has
| the great advantage of adding humus
to the soil, thereby not only increas-
/ ing its fertility but also its resistance
to wind action. The presence of hui
mus is indeed one of the best protec-
tons against blowing, the presence of
organic bodies in the soil increasing
! it's water-holding power and therefore
aiding in keeping the surface moist.
The sandy trucking soils of the East
may nearly always be made naturally
resistant to wind action by the addi-
ton of humus through the systematic
planting of leguminous crops.
Another Protection Method.
| Another method of protecting fields
is to plant rows of trees or bushes or
to build fences as windbreaks. This
is effective but apt to be expensive
not only because of the actual cost
outlay involved but because of the
amount of land which is left unpro-
ductive. For this reason the use of
such artificial windbreaks can hardly
! be recommended for extensive agri-
culture, and is usually restricted to
the cultivation of fruits, garden vege-
! tables, ETC. Where windbreaks are
erected, care should be taken to see
that they are composed of trees or
bushes which do not harbor insect
pests and whose roots will not spread
out into the adjoining fields.

Things Forgotten by ldeaIlst.

The idealist of the open fireplace
remembers the good times in the fall
when the cold had not yet arrived,
and when the apples and nuts and the
cider and perhaps the baked potatoes
made the evening a delight He for
gets about the real business of life
when winter comes down from the
North and when the little old alright
heater made life worth living after
it was invented. Yes, there is lots
of poetry about the open fireplace and
we all cling to the ideals sufficiently
to have at least one built in every
modern home. 1t is useful to furnish
tho blaze and the ventilation when
the furnace is on the job doing the
heating. 1t is not likely that the
modern family of boys and girls would
stay &c home nights any closer nova
days if the houses had the open fire.

Careful investigation has shown that
the soil is always changing. Water
and wind are always at work moving
its particles from place to place, car
rying them ultimately into the sea.
For the most part this is a beneficial
process. Were each particle of soil
to remain forever in one place, the
fertility of the land would be rapidly
exhausted. AS it is, new, unweathered
and unexhausted fragments of the I'M
derlying rocks are continually adding
to the fertility of the soil zone by TAX
ing the place of the wornout particles
which nature removes.
Under certain circumstances, how
ever, it frequently happens that this
process takes place too rapidly. that
the particles of topsoil are removed
before the underlying rock fragments
have been sufficiently prepared to take
their places. This is the case especial
ly in the arid and semiarid regions
and in sections where the soil is par
ticularly sandy in character. Under
such conditions soil blowing" may be
the cause of serious damage. In the
first place the soil itself may be SO
blown away that subsoil insuf1ciently
weathered and filled with humus TO
be ready for crops, comes to the sur
face; and secondly, the crops them
selves may be lost through the blow
ing cut of the seed or the uprooting,
burial or cutting off of the young
plants
Few General Expedients.
The best remedy, according to the
United States department of agricul-
ture, for the farmer who finds himself
confronted with difficulties of this sort
is to adopt a system of crops which
will cover his land with vegetation at
seasons when strong, dry winds are
most prevalent. The exact system
which the individual farmer should
follow depends, of course, upon the
climate, the available markets, and
other local factors. There are, how
ever, a few general expedients which
it would be well for him to bear in
mind. For example, if fall blowing is
not necessary, the stubble of the last
crop should be left on the soil as late
as possible in the spring, or oats or
barley may be sown in the late sum
mer or early fall The plants will be
killed by the frost and will form a
protective mat on the soil surface.
Another expedient is to protect slow
growing crop from wind damage by a
nurse crop which, planted at the same
time, Wilt grow more rapidly and
