year. This equipment includes
mower. rake. fodder. wagon with
frame. horse fork. pitchfork, and
hay press. The press, Of course. is
not absolutely necessary. and unless
the farmer has fifty tons or more to
bale. II will probably be more eco
nomical for him to pay Tor the ball
ing than to purchase press. A COM
mon method OF overcoming this diff
Guilty is for one farmer in a commune
ity to purchase press and make a
business OF baling hay for the 9TH
crs IN his section.
Among the grasses and legsmes
that make good market hays in the
South are lespedeza in the lower
Mississippi Valley: Johnson grass
over most Of the cotton sslt: Ber-
muda grass on the rich bottom lands;
the Arlington mixture (rochard
grass. tan cat grass. aud alsike) on
the heavy uplands Sudan grass Is
also showing. much promise. In con
eidering the relative merits Of these
market hays. It must be remembered
that each market is likely TO have
It's own requirements. which do not
always correspond to feeding values.
There is also the question OF preju-
dice to take into consideration.
This is particularly true Of John
son grass. which has suffered great
ly on the market from its bad repu-
tation as a weed. II Is indeed doubt
full whether for this reason Il should
ever be sown on land not already
occupied by IT, It's merits in other
respects. however. have been thor
oughly demonstrated. and on land
already occupied by il. It may be
cut with profit for market hay. IL
is especially satisfactory for horses
in the city. many livery men consid-
ering it practically as good as tim
othy for this purpose.
Bermuda grass is also well known
throughout the cotton region. Al
though used primarily for summer
pasturage. it grows tall enough on
rich soil to cut for hay and may be
moved two or three times a season.
yielding an acreage of about one ten
an acre for each cutting. Lespedeza
does well with q. though. like the
Bermuda grags. IL frequently does
not grow tall onough to cut for hay.
About ten per cont of the CONNER
cial hay sold in New Orleans is les.
pedeza
The Arlington mixture, which con-
sists of 10 pounds Of orchard grass.
20 pounds of tall oat grass. and 4
pounds of alsike for every acre, is
not so well known as the crops al
ready mentioned. In experiments
on the Government farm at Arling-
ton, Va. IL has been found satisfac-
tory in every way for horses. and for
this reason should command a good
price in the cities. At the present
time there is a certain prejudice
against orchard grass on account OF
its coarseness. and against tall oat
grass because il is supposed to be
unpalatable. These beliefs do not
appear to be justified. and should
disappear with better knowledge.
Seeding with this mixture is rather
expensive. but on the red upland
soils it will make a good perennial
meadow, so that this point is of lit
tie consequence.-From the Weekly
Newsletter of the L. 5. Department

The Boy Farmers.

The corn club is now about ten years
old. Has it been worth while! what
does it promise for the future!
In a recent report, the General Edu-
cation Board shows that membership
in the corn clubs has grown from 1O,343
in 1900 to about 100, COO last year. The
local clubs, which are composed OF
boys who, under the supervision of
special agent of the Department OF
Agriculture, plant an acre of corn,
have.formed county and state organi-
cations, and federation that includes
all the Southern State. As rewards.
the boys receive substantial prizes,
besides what they get from the sale OF
the corn. For the contests corn, rather
that cotton, was chosen, because the
South has greater need of corn, and
because corn lends itself better to study
; and selection.
So much for the movement that
| Doctor Knapp organized. What of the
results? In 1910, the boys clubs of
Holmes county, in Mississippi, aver
aged 76 bushels of corn to the acre,
although their fathers averaged only
l6. One hundred boys in various parts
of the South averaged 1887 bushels,
and one boy produced more than 200
bushels. The next year 100 boys aver
aged 1874 bushels, and Z boys raised
more than 200 bushels. In 1912, All
bows produced more than 200 bushels,
| to the acre.
The instances represent. of course
the more favorable results but the gen,
oral averages are even more eloquent.
Here are some of the figures:

Preparing for Shad Season

Maryland fishermen are preparing
just now for the opening of the shad
season, which, unless an unusually cold
snap comes in the meantime, is expect
ed to begin in a week or ten days,
when these had begun to run.
For week or so shad have been on
the city markets, but not in sufficient
quantity to show the opening of the
season. They were caught from down
the bay points.
Baltimore wholesale and retail fish
dealers are not looking forward to the
season with any great anticipation of
profit, for the say that the general
Brightness" Of money has affected the
fish business, as it has other lines of
trade.
The lull in the business is partly due,
no doubt, to the fact that the end of
the oyster season is drawing near and
the price of these famed bivalves is
low.
Up in Delaware Bay and river, fish
ermen are complaining that a great
blow has been given the sturgeon fish
ing by the war in Europe. Russia,
which in the past has been the chief
source of supply Of sturgeon roe, or
better known to epicures as caviar, is
unable to find European markets for
tho oI1tni1ts with the result that the
American market is said to be glutted.
Last year caviar sold for 81 and 50 a
pound, and American sturgeon fisher
men rejoiced and grew affluent. This
coming season they have been inform
ed that the price is not likely to go
above rs cents.
Now, this does not affect Maryland,
for no sturgeon may be legally caught
in the Chesapeake and its tributaries
in this State. Chapter $50 of the Acts
Of 1914 specifies that for 10 years it
shall be unlawful to catch sturgeon in
the bay or it's tributaries in Maryland,
and for violation of this law imposes a
penalty of $50 for each sturgeon found
in possession of the violator.
In spite of this, however, it is report
ed that a moderate number of sturgeon
10 go to Baltimore from State waters.
for many Maryland fishermen and Bal
timore dealers have professed ignorance
of the existence of the prohibiting law.

Arbor Day.

Greater preparation is being made
for Arbor Day this year: which occurs
on April 9th, than for any previous
Arbor Day in the history of the State,
and it should result in having ten times
as many trees planted along the streets
and highways as ever before.
The new Roadside Tree Law, which
provides for the planting of trees
along the highways, has stimulated
much interest in the subject, and the
State is offering miles Of trees for
planting along the highways for demon
stration purposes.
The Governor of the State in addition
to his proclamation has written a
special letter to the school children, and
w. McCulloh Brown, a member of the
State Board of Forestry. has prepared
a most interesting circular on the SUBJ
ject.
