Women's Special Session

One of the most practical and at
the same time pleasant sessions of
Farmers Institute ever held in Wau-
seon was that held at the court house
last Friday and Saturday. In spite
of weather conditioQs the attendance
was good, over 100 gathered for the
morning session on Friday and the
afternoon attendance reached the 800
mark The state lecturers were all
practical people and spoke from ac-
tual knowledge gained from years Of
experiencc. which made their lectures
especially valuable and instructive.
The papers by local talent we're of an
exceptionally valuable nature and
some Of them we have arranged to
publish in the Tribune at the earliest
possible moment. For the benefit of
those who were not in attendance we
publish herewith notes on the program
taken by the secretary, Mr.. Z. ?.
Increasing Our crop Production
w. G. Farnsworth; "Japan supports
three people to acre, America sup
ports one small family to 40 acres.
Essentials are Air heat and mois-
hnre. Must use humus; cannot de-
pend upon fertilizer alone; manure
adds homus and fertility. Rotation
helps keep up productiveness. Save the
waste from the stable before buying
fertilizer. Sow some crop to keep the
corn ground covered. Sow vetch or
rye to plow under. Proper tillage
makes plant food available. 300
tons Of water are necessary to grow
90 bushels Of corn to the acre. Plow
deep 70 increase crop productions plow
at the right time for your soil. Use
D balanced fertilizer for the crop you
are growing. Nitrogen produces
growth, potash and phosphorus assist.
Glover or alfalfa sod for corn.
Summary: Thorough under drain
age; deep plowing; growing green
crops to plow under; thorough cultiva-
tion.
EARN Live stock"-T. B. Kibler.
Live stock helps to make our farms
produce. No Intelligence needed in
marketing crops, we just take what
the other fellow gives us. Too much
live stock kept in Ohio that does not
pay. Use your own judgment as to
the kind Of stock to keep; keep the
Kind you like, and the best you can
afford 10 ret. Much depends upon the
man: live stock can Be changed by
breeding and care. The average COW
produces $50 pounds of butter pei
year while some are producing 400 to
500 pounds. Breed more constitution
in hogs and have less hog cholera
"Somo Mistakes We Farmers Make
---Famsworth- Some men farm toe
much and DO not do II well. Hire more
help. Use Farm Tractor. Horses
are often injured by being in q hurry
IN the early spring; we are keeping
horses u months 70 get 8 months
work. We feed two much roughage e
horses; army ration Is IL pounds oi
hay for a 1900 pound horse daily. No
saving stable wastes Waste, not y
feed balanced ration; good brlgh
straw IL equal to timothy hay: Shal
low blowing u q mistake, also irregu
lar feeding. Not having things con
venicnt waste Of time and energy
Proper rotation Of crops Is necessary
Buying too much concentrates Is
mistake. Not having good hghtinl
syatem IA a mistake; not attending
Farmers Institutes Is mistakes. W
do not use our lead pencils enough
