Report of the Work Done by Experiment Station
Cooperation with Berea College in ei3i4
BY MACK MORGAN

About two miles east OF Berea,
KY, in Madison County is an ex-
pertinent field. containing four acres
conducted by the State Experiment
station in cooperation with Berea
College.
This experiment was begun in the
spring Of 1919, and is to be continued
for ten years. It's object being TO
determine the kinds Of fertilizers
best suited for the land around Be-
rea-to demonstrate TO the farmers
that good crops can be grown on
what they term "no-count" soil il
IL is cared for, fortified and lined
as il should be, and TO teach proper
crop rotation.
From the information which can
gather, said land has been in cult
walton for more than fifty years, and
the principle crop rotation has been
well, by the way. there has been
none. as is the case OF most farms,
but corn, oats, grass and weeds have
been grown TO some extent, but mol
TO any degree OF success, the pri-
mary reason being the land was 50
strongly acid that il required lime /,
neutralize il.
The surface soil is Of clay loan
nature with a very deep clay sub
soil; this furnishes good founda-
ton on which 10 build a produce
tive soil. The field lies sloping very
gently toward the south, but has
some low spots which need drainage.
The field is divided into four series
OF ten plots each (see engraving)
Each plot contains one-tenth OF one
acre. The dimensions are ASS n.
wide, by 25.S n. long with 10 n. road
ways between series, and 8 n. alleys
between plots.
For this work the College fur
nishes the land, labor and machin-
cry. The Experiment Station fur
nishes fertilizers. materials and
seeds, the College keeps the pro-
ducts.
The work as done on the four re-
spective series, beginning in the
spring OF 1913 and continuing to the
present date, March 4, 1919 is as
follows.
The treatment OF the plots OF each
series in 1913 were:
Plot No. Nothing.
Plot No. 2.-Ground limestone.
Plot No. 3.-Nothing.
Plot No. Acid phosphate.
Plot No. 5.-Rock phosphate.
Plot No. 6.-Acid phosphate and lime.
Hot No. 7.-Rock phosphate and lime.
Plot No. S.-Nothing.
Plot No. 9.-Acid phosphate, lime
and sulphate Of potash.
Plot No. iO.-Rock phosphate, lime
and sulphate OF potash.
Series 100 which is nearest the
pike received materials IN the 1Oi-
lowing amounts.
Acid phosphate, 800 pounds per
acre.
Rock phosphate, 1900 pounds per
acre.
Sulphate of potash, 400 pounds per
acre.
Ground limestone, two tons per acre.
Series 200 received IA the same
treatment.
Series 300 received i-2 the same
treatment.
Series 400 received 81 the same
treatment.
No manure was used this year, but
manure will be returned TO manure

Series i00-isi4
The rye which was sown on this
plot in the fall OF 1913 made a good
growth on all plots receiving the
acid phosphate. but was very thin
on the plots receiving nothing and
little better on the plots receiving
the rock phosphate. On May 5, the
rye, which was used as a cover crop.
for no land should be left bare dur
ing the winter, was disked down, the
land plowed 8 inches deep for soy
beans, disked and dragged which
put it in good condition. June II,
the beans were planted, having been
inOculated by ''glue-soil method"
The north half of series was sown
broadcast at the rate OF 2 bushel
per acre, the south half in rows
80 inches apart at rate Of bushel
per acre. The south half was cul-
tivated three times. All showed
good incubation. The beans were
cut September 4 and weighed Sep
tember 3. The yield on Plot 1903
where nothing was used was 2i7
pounds Of hay, on plot i07 where
rock phosphate and lime were used
was 1856 pounds of hay more than
three and one-half times as much.
Other plots varied between these
two. In September this series was
sOwn to winter oats, which will serve
as catch crop. They are best on
the phosphate plots.

was later chancellor of the state of New York.
 Mir. Lansing was graduated from Amherst college in 1886 and began the practice of law with his father in Wa tertown in 1889.
 He soon became too big for small town litigation, however. Interna- tional law was his forte. In 1892 he was appointed associate counsel for the United States in the fur seal arsi- tration and he attended the sessions of the international tribunal at Paris in 1893.
 In the course of the next two years he was counsel for the Mexican and Chinese legations In Washington and in 1896 Secretary of State Olney ap- pointed him counsel for the govern ment before the Boring sea claims commission.
 He was counsel for private parties before the Canadian joint high com- mission in 1S9S-99 and later again served the Mexican and Chinese lega- tions.
 In 1903 he was appointed to be coun- sel for the United States before the Alaskan boundary tribunal and he took a prominent part in the Venezue- Ian asphalt disputes in 1905. He rep resented the government in the Allan tic fisheries and arbitration in 1908 and in 1911, on his return to this country from The Hague he was made technical delegate of the government in the fur seal conference at Wash ington.
 In 1911 he acted as counsel for the United States in the American and British claims arbitration and this was his work up to the date he was chosen as Secretary Bryan's right hand man.
 Appointment Popular. The appointment is very popular | with the members of the diplomatic | corps, who have been associated with MT. Lansing in an official way for a good many years, and among whom he numbers many close personal friends No sooner was the appointment made known than the foreign envoys in Washington hastened to call upon him to offer congratulations and pay their respects, the Japanese ambassador. Viscount Chinda, being one of the | first.
 MT. Lansing's appointment also meets the approval of his colleagues of the cabinet.
 Incidentally it may be added that he is a golfer, fisherman. baseball fan. a landscape painter and drafts man and writes verse.

an hour before milking time. which should always be regular, and rub the udder well with a brush or burlap sack. to remove all dirt and dust that might get into the milk.
 Dry, well-drained and well-kept feed lots assist greatly in keeping the COWS clean. hence. also in producing clean milk. Where cows are compelled to stand all day in a wet or muddy feed lot, unless much care is used, the eve ming milk will be far from pure. A naturally high, dry and well-drained location is advisable for the feed lot during winter and spring, and if 1t can be graded and stoned it is much better. It is preferable to have the feeding pens provided with feed racks, in place of feeding on the ground. as the COW is a very cleanly animal. and will not readily eat soiled food if 1t can be avoided.

FACTS REGARDING WEED SEED
North Dakota Experiment Station Makes Interesting Test With Dif.
 ferent Noxious Plants.

Tn a weed experiment at the North Dakota experiment station. seeds of French weed. green foxtail, kinghead. wild mustard. wild buckwheat. and wild oats were planted at depths of one, two, three, five, seven and ten inches. The greatest depth from which French weed came up was two inches; green foxtail. three inches: kinghead, mostly from two and three inches. a few from five inches; wild mustard, three inches: wild buckwheat. three inches: wild oats. few from five inches.
 The next year a few French weeds came up from the one and two-inch depths; no green foxtail: few king head from the one to flve-inch depths; no wild mustard or wild buckwheat, and few wild oats from the two-inch depth.
 In five years the seeds were dug up. None of the seeds at the one and two-inch depths were left A few of the French weed seeds at the seven and ten-inch depths grew. Of the green foxtail, one seed from the five-inch depth grew, and one-sixteenth of those buried ten inches germinated. Of the kinghead, only few of the seeds from the teninch depth grew. Of the wild mustard, a few of the three-inch depth and nearly half of those buried ten inches grew. and one-fourth of those from the seven-inch depth. All of the wild oats and wild buckwheat seeds were dead.

 Having been assured on these points, the good man turned to his paper. only to be interrupted by his young son and heir:
 Father" asked the boy, what is a vacuum and where can find one"
 My boy" replied the good man, If we are to assume that your mother is qualified to speak on the subject, I possess the only real vacuum in the neighborhood and. for your further in- formation, it Is situated just between my collar and the glossy open space where I used to grow hair"
 You mean your dome?"

KEEP THE COWS CLEAN
Pure Milk Cannot Be Secured
 From a Filthy Animal.
Curry Comb and Brush as Essential In Dairy Barn as In Horse Stable Remove Bedding From the
 Stalls Every Day.

The curry comb and brush are just as essential to the health, comfort and appearance of the COW as they are to the horse. Clean, pure milk cannot be had from filthy COW. A we'll ar ranged barn and plenty of bedding as- sist greatly in keeping the COW in sanitary condition at all times.
 By the use of good stanchions the COWS are kept much cleaner than where they are simply tied with rope or halter, as by the use of stanchions the COWS are not able to back off and lie down in the manure, as they do with other methods of stabling. Straw is usually cheap and plentiful on most dairy farms, and it does not pay to neglect to bed the COW well. The bed. ding should be removed from the stalls every day. and fresh litter provided. The manure should be hauled from the barn to the field or storage pit often, every day or two if possible to prevent it from being a breeding place about the barn for flies, disease germs and bad odors which taint the milk.
 It is a good plan to disinfect the stables occasionally, whether there is any apparent reason for it or not. It is not expensive, can do no harm and does much good in the way of de. stroying lice and disease germs. Where enough COWS are kept to make 1t profitable it is advisable to use milking machines, as we believe milk can be produced much cleaner in this way than can possibly be done by hand milking.
 Where hand milking is necessary see that the hands are always clean before milking, and use covered pail. Curry and brush the hind parts of the COW we'll each morning at least half

Washington.-With the appointment by President Wilson of Robert Lansing as secretary of state, the figure of Mrs. Lansing begins to loom large up- on the social horizon of Washington; for the wife of the premier Is, ex-of- fcio, an important parsonage. and none the less in this instance that Mrs. Lansing is a bit of a parsonage in her own right. AS the daughter of John w. Foster, some time secretary of state. she has had large experience of official life here and abroad and sine is thoroughly versed in the cus- : toms of Washington society and fitted to assume the role of leader of the official contingent.
 Since the retirement of William J. Bryan there has been a tendency to speak of Mrs. Bryan as the social ar bitter" of Washington officialdom and, since Mrs. Wilson's death, first lady of the land" Besides ignoring entire ly the existence of Mrs. Thomas Riley Marshall, wife of the vice-president. who by all the canons of official eti- .Quette is entitled to this distinction, and of Miss Margaret Wilson, the
