The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1915-11-04

Four years ago Richmond lost a
wide-awake citizen, a booster, live
wire, who always was at the head OF
the class in any movement which was
for the betterment of the city. He
served as county treasurer and post
master, and for eight years was con-
nected with the First National bank.
But, J. A. Spekenhier. for 1t was he,
saw his future in the south and moved
to Bogalusa, La, where he is now
cashier of the First State bank, con-
trolled by the Great Southern Lumber
company, which, incidentally, owns
so much timberland of yellow pine that
it will take twenty years to clear it.
Mr.. Spekenhier returned to Rich
mond the other day with Mrs. Spoken
hier, and is visiting his brother, Frank
Spekenhier, 219 South Eleventh street.
He will remain for ten days, and his
wife will visit for month or so.
In the same glowing terms with
which he boosted Richmond in the
years he was here, he expressed the
belief today that the south is the com

cotton are selling at high prices.

VINE PRUNING IN THE SOUTH
Proper Time to Work on Grapes is in
Spring, Just Before Growth Starts
Leaves Stop Bleeding.
CBy c. NJ. SCHULTZ)

In the South the only time to prune
the ordinary grapes is just before
growth starts in the spring. Then
the leaves will soon stop the bleeding.
One spring in North Carolina the
weather turned hot the first of March
and the vines that had been pruned
in the fall made shoots six inches long
while those that had not been pruned
hardly swelled the buds.
The last week in the month the
mercury suddenly fell with a norther
to 20 degrees above zero and the
shoots on the pruned vines were fro
zen. After the freeze | pruned my
grapes and had normal growth, while
those around me hardly got half a

years before, when l had seen the
same thing. But the Scuppernong
must be pruned in November or De-
cember as it bleeds worse than the
cluster grapes.

PREVENT WASTE OF MANURE
Little Thought Necessary to Deter
mine Value Of Dairy Herd From
Fertiiizins Standpoint.

In experiments conducted at the
Louisiana station to determine the
amount OF manure and urine produced
by the dairy herd OF 20 cows in one
year, 1t was found to be IT'S tons Of
manure and 70 tons of urine. The av-
erage amount Of manure produced by
one COW In year was 1880 pounds. a
little less than nine tons, and the aver
age amount Of urine produced by one
cow In a year was 6.935 pounds, or .
little less than three and a half tons.
1t takes little thought to see the value
OF COW from the fertilizing stand
point, or to see the profit in preventing
waste Of manure.

The period of CESSATION for sows is
approximately 112 days or eight days
less than four months from the date
few days one way or the other. This
date should be known to avoid mis-
takes that may result in the loss OF
pigs.
AS the time for narrowing ap.
proaches the SOW should be watched
carefully, in order that assistance
may be given if necessary. The feed
at this time should be sloppy and
limited in amount. Nothing but luke
warm water should be given the SOW

Ing. II she has already farrowed
a litter and has been properly fed
and cared for during pregnancy, little
difficulty may be expected. With
young sows, particularly those bred
at an immature age, there is consid-
cradle risk at this time, not only to
the pigs but to the SOW herself.
There is difference of opinion as to
the amount Of bedding which should
be given to the SOW at this time. An
active SOW in comparatively light con-
dition can be trusted with a liberal
amount of bedding, but sows which
are in high condition or which are at
all clumsy, had better be given only a
moderate amount of straw.
The farrowing pen should be dry
and well ventilated, but free from
drafts. Provide the pen with a
guard rail made of two by eight planks
with their edges against the sides OF
the pen about ten inches above the
bed. These prevent the SOW from ly-
Ing against the partition. and lessen
the danger of injury to the pigs. The
little fellows will soon learn to creep
under the guard rail when the SOW
lies down.
The management of the SOW during
narrowing depends largely on the ami
NAL and on the weather conditions.
Assistance should be at hand If need

sUBsoILINe MAY BE HARMFUL
Increase In Yield Does Not Pay for
Work Done-Bad Practice to
Advocate, Says Expert.

(By o. o. CHURCHILL Oklahoma Ex-
pertinent Station)
The practice of subsoiling is receiv-
ing n gCcG mGcy notices in the press
at this time. 1t is advocated par
ticularly on tight soils and under
drought conditions.
A good many of the stations in DIFF.
ferent parts of the United States have
conducted many experiments to deter
mine the benefit derived from this
practice. Very seldom, If ever, does
the increase in yield pay for the
work done, and we, therefore, advise
against subsoiling under most condi-
tions. In some cases subsoiling may
even be harmful.
We have been unable to find any rec
ords indicating that subsoiling will
pay. 1t seems to us. therefore, to be
bad practice to advocate, even II
in theory 1t does sound we'll.
Subsoiling is usually performed by
an implement made Of straight blade
with shoe on the bottom. This i'm
plement is run in the bottom of the
furrow and follows Immediately after
an ordinary plow. 1t does not turn
the soil, but merely loosens it. 1t
takes as much power to pull the
subsoil plow as it does an ordinary
plow.
