CURRENT COMMENT
Mr.. Stones Successor.

Prof. Milo B. Hillegas of Columbit
university, has been elected and has ac
cepted, to succeed Hon Mason s. Ston,
as Vermont's commissioner of eduea
ton.
Mr.. Stone retires after several years
of faithful service during which the pub

school conditions as embodied in the re-
port of the special commission two years
ago.
The new commissioner ought to be

The iowa Beef Producers .ls.,5rIa
ton carried on an investigation In
Iowa covering q period of five years.
Data was gathered from 20 Iowa
farms in nine different counties
throughout the state. (See chart)
On ten average livestock farms 50
bushels of corn per acre were pro-
duced as against SO bushels per acre
produced on ten average grain farms.
On ten average stock farms 80 BUSH
els of oats per acre were produced,
as against 81 bushels per acre on ten
average grain farms.
Ten average stock farms produced
90 tons Of clover per acre as against
1.2 tons per acre on ten average grain
farms. These comparisons speak for
themselves.
One-Crop System.
A one-crop system will impOverlSh
any country, and in turn it will i'm
poverish the people that are on its
farms. It is only through diversifica-
ton Of crops and the using Of our en-
ergies every day Of the year, that we
can make a rich country.
Livestock farming is diversified
farming and calls for system of crop
rotation with legumes. It returns fer
tility to the soil. 1t adds interest to
the work of the young people ana
finally it is best insurance of an in
come. The kind of live stock depends
upon local conditions. First, the pref
erence of the farmer, second, the en-
vironment. Cows, hogs, horses. mules,
beef cattle and sheep, offer a large
range of choice and fit into/many con-
ditions. Horses and hogs are found
on every farm and they become very
profitable to the man who under
stands them. Sheep raising and dairy
ing may be combined as one herd or
handled separately.
In either case they will be founo
profitable. Varying combinations Of
live stock may be found profitable.
Livestock farming requires de-
pendable feed supply. Silage and al
falfa are an excellent basis. Corn,
kafir, and other similar crops furnish
sllage.
Each farmer should make a busi-
ness Of growing his own beef as well

USE CARE IN CHOOSING VEIL
Reason Why This Dress Accessory Is
Given So Much Attention at
This Time.

Perhaps because the hats are so bare
OF trimming is one reason why the
veil has come into so much attention
recently. The face veil of the harem
description has become familiar to all
who have passed even a few days at
any of the fashionable resorts. 1t does
duty not only as hat accessory, but
a. a complexion preserver and pro-
tector.
One of the newest varieties is a
crescent-shnped veil, the center part
of which has a hexagOn mesh, while
the border is of chiffon. 1t is very
wide and very long and is intended
net as a face covering, but to be
thrown over the back of the hat and

for II years three systems Of farm

ground.
On plot one q system Of livestock

&O2 with grain crops, the crops fed

On plot two a simple rotation of

On plot three corn was grown ev-
cry year for II years, and every crop
harveSted and removed from the land.
On this plot the yield was reduced in
GAe last year Of the experiment to i1.8
&ESheIs per acre.
Were the land had simply been ro-
6sted to corn, wheat, and clover, the
H6eAd was 50.7 bushels per acre, and
wheEe manure was added in n corn,

VRzE 77.6 bushels per acre.
Es more striking results Of the et-
Gsc1 Of crop rotation could be found
sad there is little doubt that the most
ksRyoTtaat cause of this increased
xse8d Is ia the fact that the humus

supply, and therefore the supply Of
avail .ble plant food, had been more
nearly maintained in the rotation of
the manured plots. A great differ
ence in the color Of the soil Of the
two plots at the Missouri station
where corn had been grown continu-
Ously both with and without manure
was noticeable. The unmanured plot
was much lighter in color and Of
much poorer texture, thus showing
very clearly its lack of humus as COM
pared with the one beside it. It must
not be understood from this that crop
rotation alone will maintain fertility,
but it is the first essential, and the
rotation must include legume crops.
Legumes are humus-building crops,
because in order to put humuS in the
soil, nitrogen is necessary, and these
plants secure 1t from the air. This
experiment shows clearly the adj
vantages of live stock farming in
maintaining soil fertility.
Upon the plot where farm manure
was applied with a rotation Of corn,
wheat and clover, there was a margin
Of So bushels of corn per acre above
the cost of growing. Estimating that
it will cost 25 bushels or about $40
per acre to grow the corn, there is u
cash profit of so cents per bushel, of
$26.50 per acre.
In the second plot, where no ma
nure was applied, with a rotation o.
corn, wheat and clover, there was a
margin of 26 bushels above the cost
of growing or a cash profit of $13.
On the plot where corn was grown
continuously for II years, without rO-
tation, there was a loss of $3.50 per
acre, or 13 bushels below the cost of
producing an acre of corn.
