BIG VALUE or FERTILIZERS
6arnyard Manure improves Physical
Conditions Of Soil andtMakes it
Easy to Handle.

Barnyard manure has value on the
farm aside from that as a fertilizer.
1t improves the physical conditions Of
the soil and makes 1t easier to handle.
It's decay produces heat and its pres.
ence aids chemical and bacterial
processes. Moreover, it absorbs and
holds a large amount of water and
helps to aerate the soil. The bene.
fits of these indirect aids to plant
growth are in some cases worth as
much as the fertilizing power of ths
manure. a.
When it Is added that barnyard ma
nure Is worth perhaps $3.50 a ton, and
that each farm animal produces from
FIVE to seven tons per 1000 pounds Of
live weight each year, 1t Is easy to see
that as fertilizer the material should
not be wasted.
The best practice is to haul the stuff
directly from the barn to the fields.
II this is done, there Is little loss
through fermentation or teaching.

If Victor Brouillard had been dis.

capitalists brief visit to the Niquoia,
there was little leisure for 1t. Fairly
confronting his problem, Brouillard
did not find himself hampered by de-
partmental inertia. While he was rap.

the clover in a section is but a pro-
phecy of the early failure OF other
leading crops In that particular Sec
tion.
The substitution Of alsike for ordi-
nary red clover will enable clover to
be continued In the rotation on some
soils which no longer grow the ordi-
nary red clover. The lack Of humus
in the soil is the most potent factor
In the failure Of red clover in these
sections, but other factors such as
too acid soil and the presence of
fungous diseases or insect enemies,
must also be overcome. Lining and
proper drainage will overcome the
soil acidity. The insect and fungous
diseases may be held in check by
clipping or cutting at the proper time
and by furnishing the proper soil con
ditions to produce crop 80 vigor
Gus that it will succeed in spite Of
the enemies which prove troublesome
to less vigorous stands.
