LIFE DEPENDS ON BIRDS.

Do you want to know what the one
thing that can be worse than the Eu-
ropean war? John Davey, big brother
to the birds and tree physician, Kent
Ohios arbiter of lawn and stream, has
found out what it is.
Mr.. Dayey tells an audience each
night at the West Side Y. NJ. G. A.:
Human life depends upon vegeta-
ton. We would all starve if vegeta-
ton ceased for a year. But vegetation
depends upon the birds, who protect it
from destruction by insects.
Human life, therefore, depends up
on the birds. All insectivorous birds
in this country are decreasing 10 per
cent each year. Unless we start at
once to increase their numbers, to
protect them and kill their enemies,
within a decade will occur the disas-
ter to humanity which have spoken
ola catastrophe horror more awful
than the European war"
Decrease in the insectivorOus birds,
said Mr.. Davey, is due to destruction
of forests, depriving birds Of retreats
from storms and cold, and the enmi-
ty of the English sparroWs, who, he
said, increase almost as fast as the ton
measured progeny of the canker
worm.-New York World.

of clover as of the other grasses men
toned will be required.
Probably as good a time as any to
supply grass seed will be some morn
ing when the ground is frozen, so that
when the ground thaws during the
middle of the day the sOwn seed will
be covered sufficiently to terminate
well. The most successful seeding is
that done while the ground is freezing
a little each night and thawing again
in the daytime. Many people have
success in sowing grass seed upon
light snowfall at a time when the snow
is likely soon to melt. With either OF
these methods, however, there is dan
ger that birds will eat some OF the
seed before it is covered in the SOIL
In spite of this, however, there is a
better chance of getting a good lawn
by these methods than when the seed
is sown on land that will not quickly

When to Sow Grass Seed.

Before freezing weather is entirely
over, fresh grass seed should be soWn,
for it must be remembered that only
by repeated applications of grass seed
can good lawn be produced. The or
binary seeding of grass on a new
lawn is one pound of seed to every
400 square feet-that is, to a piece of
ground 20 feet square. For reseeding
lawn, one-tenth to one-half of this
amount should be used, according to
the condition of the lawn at the time.
For the northern part of the United
States Kentucky blue grass and redtop
are the standard varieties. However,
where there are many bare spaces it
will be found well to use some white
clover. About one-tenth the quantity

Give Lawn Coed Rolling.

The last operation in the prelimin
airy spring care of lawn is to give
it a good rolling. This rolling, which
should be done with as heavy roller
as can be handled, should not be done
however, until after the lawn is dry
enough so that the roller passes over
it without sinking at any point below
the general level. If the land is too
wet the roller will leave depressiOns.
This rolling should be done just as
soon as the land is dry enough to per-
nit it, as rolling cOmpacts the soil
about the roots of the plants, brings
them into closer contact with the soil,
and gives them a better opportunity
to make a quick start as soon as
weather conditions are favorable.

fore Warm Weather.
Now Is the Time to Apply Fertilizer
Don't Wait Until the Weather
Gets Too Warm.

Home owners who wish to get the
best re ults from their lawns should
begin to work them early in March,
according to the lawn specialists of
the Department of Agriculture Too
many people delay giving any atten-
ton to their grass plots until the
weather becomes warm, thus losing
an opportunity to take advantage Of
melting snow and the alternate night
freezing and thawing of the ground.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1916-03-22
Apply Fertilizer at Once.

.
If the lawn has not been fortified
some form of commercial fertilizer
should be used at once. Manure APP
piled this late will not be effective
in most cases. Ground bone is prob
ably the best fertilizer to use, al
though tankage and fish scraps, some
of which, however, have an unpleas-
ant smell, also give good results. Pre-
pared sheep manure is an excellent
fertilizer for use at this season. Cot
tonseed meal, where Obtainable at a
low enough price, may be used to adj
vantage. In connection with these
fertilizers, however, it is desirable to
use some wood ashes or other fertiliz-
er containing potash. AS fertilizers
with this element are unusually high
priced this year, the natural inclina-
ton Will be to use minimum guam
titles. With soils that have been well
fortified in the past, failure to use
a normal amount of potash will prob
ably not affect the lawn badly in one
season. These fertilizers should be
applied at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
Temptation to get on the lawn and
clean it up is strong as soon as the
snow is gone and the weather begins
to SETTLE Impatience, however, should
be curbed until the ground is settled
fairly well, so that fOotmarks will not
show in the turf Where a lawn has
been trampled down during the winter
or played upon when it was soft in
winter and early spring, the owner
should take steps to compact it's sur
face at the earliest possible moment.
This compacting, however, should not
be done until all trash has been re-
moved. AS soon as the ground is suf-
ficiently settled so that a rake does
not dig into the turf, the owner should
rake it gently with a WOOden-tOOthed
rake Frequently, however, all that
is necessary is to pick off the litter.
If lawn has been covered with man
ure in the fall, it will be necessary
to break the manure up with rake
in the spring and remove some of the
coarser portions. A wooden rake is
best for this purpose, as it will leave
so much more of the fine material up
on the ground. Do not rake off so
much Of the manure that the lawn
will have a thoroughly clean appear
ance All of the fine manure that the
summer growth OF grass can possibly
hide should be left. 1t is surprising
home much litter the grass will -
scure in a lawn, as one or two heavy
rains will beat down a quantity Of
such material.

meuts on the county poor farm and
there you had the birth of the cOun-
ty farm agent idea. It has spread all
over the state Of Iowa and even into
the south. Why, Arkansas, the state
that you fellows sniff at, has farm
agents and the farmers down there
are forging ahead. In one county
they weren't content with one so they
hired another. Then the women folks
demanded a domestic science teacher
for the girls and finally they hired
two women. Up here in old Rock
county you can't support one. Get
out of that old calf path and do some
thing. If you get the right kind Of a
man he will improve your seed corn
and seed grains of all kinds and what's
more, he will touch the heart strings
of the boys and girls and ring the
rising in the dOrmitory Of their souls. y
He'd inspire them to greater things
and direct their eXuberant spirits to
profitable and gainful ends
On Purchasing Seed Corn.
Prof Holden explained with the use
OF charts the Importance of planting
seed corn with high terminating pow
Ell. One Of the first commandments
Of corn raising, he said, was, Thou
shalt not import seed corn from a dis
tance." 1t will not thrive under new
climatic conditions.
He explained a simple and effica-
cacious method OF testing seed corn
which cost little or nothing and paid
big returns in results. Know wheth-
re or not your corn will grow" he ad-
vtsed. Teach the boys and girls how
to test corn. Why shouldn't such a
thing be taught in the schools. The
greatest teacher this world has ever
seen taught the people in terms Of
things in everyday life, in the terms
Of those things they were familiar
with and understood"
Conservation of Moisture.
Prof Holden went briefly into the
science Of corn cultivation and ex-
planned the principle of duct mulch
to conserve moisture, using a simple
but effective experiment. Go as deep
as you like in the first civilizations,
and don't be afraid to stir the ground
before the corn comes up, but Guilt
vate shallow the last time or you will
tear the roots of the corn plant at a
time when it is maturing and needs
the roots to drink in moisture.
Four things, he said, are vital in
seed corn: will it yield we'll; will
it ripen in this climate; will it grow,
and has it breeding behind it?" Nine
ty-siX per cent Of corn is air and wa
ter, wind and water" he called it.
Then he explained why stock farming
paid best. The wind and water" is
transformed into a marketable prod
uct, beef or butter, pork or milk, while
the solid matter, the part that isn't
wind or water, goes back on the land
in the shape of manure.
Mr.. HOlden's address occupied over
two hours and included plenty of apt
illustrations drawn from his wealth of
experience to amplify and make plain
the points which he emphasized To-
ward the close of his discourse he ex-
hibited the results obtained by the
GAINESVILLE high school class in agri-
culture in testing ten ears of seed
corn and showed which ears ought to
be saved for seed and which should
be discarded as barren and non-pro-
ductive

Must Test Seed.

And do you know what the farmer
will say who is getting a third of a
stand OF productive corn when you ask
him about his seed: oh, l never
have any trouble with my seed he
says. 1t always grows all right Do
YOU ever test your seed? he is asked.
Never in his life. And do you know
what is happening in the corn field
that is producing nubbins and half
ears? Why, the pollen from the stalks
which are weak and barren or pro-
ducing nubbins floats out over the corn
field and fertilizes those ears which
are good and sizeable. The pollen
from these nO-gOOd stalks becomes the
father of the kernels on the good ear.
And what happens? It's simply a
plain case of the sins of the father.
You business men of Rock county
don't want men running your farms
who are wasting a half or two-thirds
of their time because they are mis-
guided or uninfCrmed and because
they haven't recognized the import
ance of good seed, do you? Well, then
why not have a man whose duty it
shall be to go out and do a little in
structing among the farmers, among
boys and girls in the schools, who will
conduct a few experiments, and who
will inspire men to secure greater re-
suits? Out in Sioux county. Iowa, the
farmers themselves suggested the idea
