! prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The once Of farm management of
the department Of agriculture has gath
cred data from $4,000 farmers in diff
ferent parts of the United States and
has made many direct observations
as to the amount of work that can be
expected in harvesting corn with diff
ferent machinery and by hand. The
number Of acres that can be covered
with different kinds Of machines and
different numbers of horses a day has
been averaged, and while these aver
ages should not be taken as indicating
the minimum or maximum amount of
work that should be accomplished on
any individual farm, they are of serv-
Ice in enabling the farmer to judge
the rate of work. and also to lay out
his work SO as to give enough time
for each operation. While OH some
farms the average may be exceeded.
in many cases, it will be somewhat
high. but at any rate the average can
be used on the average farm in fs.
uring the least amount OF time thaN
should be allowed. OF course, in US
ing such averages due weight has to
be given to the fact that rainy wealth
er may interfere with the harvesting
campaign. and allowance must be
made for such operations.
The following table shows the av-
erage acreages harvested with a bin
der for normal day, using different
numbers of horses:

sow BARLEY WITH ALFALFA
and Land 10 Made Mors Productive
keeps Down eoxtail. o.

Many alfalfa raisers are in the habit
Of planting barley in their alfalfa in
the fall and the practice IL so good
that 1t is unfortunate that 1t is not
done oftener. 1t provides green stuff
during the winter and makes the land
productive at time when it ordi-
narily is not producing anything, ex-
cept. perhaps. some foxtail. And not
the least valuable feature of the bar
ley is that it keeps down the foxtail.
The several floodings that an alfalfa
field gets during the summer. plus the
packing Of the soil by the mower, the
horses hoofs. and the hay making and
hauling. or by the stock, II the field
has been pastured. compacts the soil
in way that would almost be ruin
for an orchard. A stirring up OF the
soil. when these conditions exist, is
almost the same kind Of a stimulant
to the field that good cultivation and
soil mulch is to an orchard. That
is why it is so profitable to use a
disk. an alfalfa renovator, or a spring
tooth on an alfalfa field.
W IVA sAo coA vi II up Ult II IL pOS-
sible to SOW barley and get excellent
results Land on which alfalfa has
grown is always rich and contains
lots Of nitrogen. Although the al
falfa takes up much Of the space and
the barley naturally cannot do as well
as If the land were really plowed in
stead Of scratched. a good stand can
be secured.
1t is possible to either pasture the
barley or to let it go for hay. In the
hrst case heavy seeding is usually
best, in the second light seeding SO
that the alfalfa will have plenty room
when 1t starts growth in the spring.
In either case the land is producing
something instead of lying almost
idle. or growing only foxtafl, and the
mixture of barley an1 alfalfa hay is
excellent and a vast improvement over
the mixture Of alfalfa and foxtail.
