CROPS THAT ROB THE FARM.
Farmer Must Manage to Restore Fer
tiIity That Has Been Exhausted.

Farmer Must Manage to Restore Fer
tiIity That Has Been Exhausted.
PREPARED by United States department Of
agricultural
II is estimated that every ton Of cow
pea hay taken from the farm the
manure Of which is not returned to the
soil robs it Of S7.96 worth Of fertility
II bought in the form OF commercial
fertilizer; a ton Of cotton seed, $3.50;
an acre of corn producing fifty bush
els, both stalk and grain, $1S.56; the
grain alone, $3.50; an acre Of oats pro
ducing thirty-flve bushels removes In
the entire crop $11.33 and S4.72 for the
grain alone.
In many cases exhaustion Of the soil
by cropping has gone on until the farm
responds reluctantly to the many
drafts made upon 1t. The farmer must
manage to restore this fertility. No
better method Of doing this can be
found than to keep enough stock on
the farm to utilize the pasturage OF
idle lands and much of the surplus
grain and forage produced. The stock
should be kept under sheds and in sta
bles when possible and an abundance
OF bedding furnished to absorb the
LIQUIDS as well as to add to the bulk Of
the manure heap.
The roots and stubble Of crops al
ways restore something to the soil.
With such crops as clover, cowpeas or
beans approximately 30 per cent Of the
manurial value Of the crop is kept in
the soil When such crops are har-
vested for hay and fed to good farm
stock and the manure is returned to
the land so to 90 per cent Of the entire
fertilizing value is kept on the farm.
At the same time the full feeding
value is obtained.
Farm manure should be handled |
with great care. It should never be
left in the open yard or piled in the
field for any length Of time, as much |
Of its plant food will be leached out. |
Neither should It be stored loose un-
der sheds. but It should be packed /
down and kept wet enough to prevent
heating, which would drive of nitro
gen. This tremendous loss from i'm
proper handling explains why farmers
and It necessary to use such large
quantities Of manure to derive much
benefit from it. 1t will be observed
hat even when manure is stored in a
she'd there is loss. By covering the
manure heap with substances like or
Iinary loan, sawdust or wheat straw
much loss may be prevented and the
tack Of manure greatly increased.
loam will absorb about thirteen
pounds Of nitrogen per ton Of 1000
,ounds, sawdust about eight pounds
md wheat straw nearly four pounds.

/ RULES FOR TREE PLANTING :

Select the kind Of a tree that win
grow best in your location. Choose a
variety from those already thriving in
your vicinity.
A ten to twelve foot tree is consider
ed the best size for ordinary planting.
It should be free from scars and pests.
The trunk should be straight, and 1t
should have a long leader.
When digging trees in the woods be
careful not to injure the roots, and Sc
cure as many Of the tibrous ones as
possible. Nursery grown trees are
better because they have been trans
planted several times and have better
root systems.
Do not allow the roots to become
dry. Keep them moist and covered un-
I'll you are ready to put them in the
ground.
Ragged ends Of broken roots should
be cut Of with a sharp knife.
Milford chronicle., 1916-10-27

Navasota, Tex, has remedied this in
a device to be secured to the farmers
shoe by which the cutting is done with
a quick movement Of the foot and no
leaning over is required. The knife IS
a broad, fat blade secured to the shoe
at the toe and over the instep and
braced for the repeated blows It will
receive by ending against the heel.

from his home that, although he had

carry on the enormous financial al
fairs founded by Mr.. Thatcher and
his brother the late John A. Thatcher.
His illness began with a nervous

Mr.. Thatcher owned nineteen banks
and many other large properties. His
interests were almost unbelievably
wide. His capital is thought to have
furnished financial bulwarks to more
than a hundred establishments.
Mr.. Thatcher came to Colorado In

The foundation of his wealth, which
is widely diversified, was laid in the

his capital backed scores of successful
enterprises, his investments were
