FEED-UP YOUR FIELDS
INCREASE YOUR YIELDS

There is q farmer whom L know
who shows that he is wise,
He knows that larger yields of wheat

With crop reports much lower than
last year and prices high,
The farmer easily can see that plant
'ood is his best buy,
Some nitrogen will help the growth,
phosphoric acid. too.
A little potash strengthens straw and
pumps the kernels too.
Let's help the plants make good stalk
growth and fill the kernels plump,
BY feeding them with plant food (Sir)
Then watch the profits jump!
The profits come with larger yields,
the average crops don't pay
So why not get your share OF gain
the fertilizer way?
With wheat you have high-priced
crop and extra bushels count.
'Fertilize your fields, bring up your
yields and watch your profits mount.
And when you see just how II pays

Next year you'll feed your other. crops
and ali your records beat.
For farming is a game in which the
Golden Rule applies.
You reed your crops and they feed

BEATING THE
HESSIAN FLY
Methods Of Successful Mich
4. igan Farmers.

At this time, when the fight on the
Hessian Fly is becoming so wide
spread, and every implement of war
fare Is being used, any word or meth
cd of control is eagerly sought. To the
"pestered" wheat growers nothing il
more acce ,table than news Of tn,
success of other practical farmers
and becaune of this the experience O.
Mr.. p. !. Simons of Calhoun County
Mich, is worthy of note. II is not 8
one years test, but observation,
from three crops that the conclusion
is based Upon.
AS Mr.. Simons tells 1t: THE wheat
field was severely attacked by the
Hessian fly, and the average yielt
that year was TO bushels per acre
Right across the fence from my wheat
field was another on the same kline
of ground that had been prepared IL
practically the same way.
"The difference was that I used
200 pounds of a complete fertilizer
per acre. The application was made
with a fertilizer attachment to the
grain drill at the time of sowing. AT
four different places across the field
strips were untreated and the entire
field was seeded to clover.
up to June 10th the fly had moi
attacked my fortified wheat, but had
attacked the unfertilized wheat in the
same field to such an extent that the
drill rows where no fertilizer was
used appeared as wagon roads across
the field. At this time the field across
the fence from mine had practically
been destroyed yielding only 3 bush
els pc acre. My wheat threshed out
81 bushels per acre. The fertilizer
that year meant an increase of al
least Is bushels PEI acre to me.
Nov, when it came to the seeding
where no fertilizer was applied ! fail
ed to get a clover stand, while on the
fortified portion of the field l had
the pest clover in the neighborhood."
It should not be taken that fertili'
ger will kill the fly. 1t isn't an in
secticide, but it fulfills its mission
when the increased health and vigor
of the plants results, and thus the
fly turns to the weaker, sicklier plants
to carry on the destruction. Sowing
late will help avoid the fall brood,
but no recourse other than having
good strong healthy plants can be
turned to SO that the spring brood
will not have the chance of profit.

STAMP OUT THE FLY

"Three things are necessary in wag.
ing a successful warfare against the
Hessian Fly, viz: thorough prepare
ton of the soil. so as to form the
best possible conditions for germina-
ton; heavy fertilization. If the soil
is not already in good condition, so
rs to insure a quick and rapid growth,
and late sowing so as to compel the
flies to go elsewhere to deposit their
(eggs."
This extract from Bulletin 1874 of
the Indiana Experiment Station con-
tains in a nutshell the main condi.
tions to be handled in the control of
the pest. The Illinois Circular LAG al
30 makes a good point when 1t de-
clares: "A vigorous wheat plant Is
much better able to react against an
attack of the fly, especially by stool
ing freely or throwing out an abund-
ance OF new shoots from the root.
Whatever tends. consequently. to give
vigor to the plant reduces proportion
ally the percentage of loss"
This leads to the conclusion that
fertilizer containing at least per
cent ammonia and at least 10 per cent
available phosphoric acid may be the
salvation OF the crop, and the expert
ence of many users bear this out. With
suck crop insurance so cheap compared
with results obtained, the enhanced
chances for a'successful clover catch
always greater by its use. fertilizer
will play a very important part in
this fight on the Hessian Fly.

HOGS PASTURED ON CLOVER
GAIN RAPIDLY

Plenty of tender, nourishing hog pas
ture of good quality may be had during
the entire season if clover is grown, say
men at the Minnesota College of Agri.
culture. AS soon as the pigs are strong
enough, the brood sows with their lit.
tiers may be turned into a clover field
If one-third to half of the clover is
mown about June 10, the hogs will eat
the young shoots that spring up and
will not bother the uncut part of the
field.
The rest of the field may be cut at
the regular haying time. BY having the
pasture we'll stocked with pigs and
calves one need not worry about taking
care of the pasture for the rest of the
summer. By fall the pigs ought to weigh
from so to 80 pounds each.
This system has worked we'll with
many hog-raisers in Minnesota. In a
good season, one acre of pasture will
provide feed for three brood sows and
their pigs. Plenty Of cot room and
trough room with proper feeding facili-
ties ought to be provided in each pas
ture. The co.'s should be from twenty
to forty rods from the feeding place, so
that the pigs will get out into the pas
ture and take plerty of exercise.

BARN TRAP WILL DROWN MOST
FLY MAGGOTS

Ninety-eight per cent Of the fly mag
gots that develop in manure can be
drowned in maggot trap. The trap
is merely a wooden platform over a
shallow concrete tank. From the floor
the maggots drop into the water as they
are hunting for dry places to live in dur
ing the transformation period
To make the trap, a concrete floor of
convenient size is laid near the stable
door, and wall of concrete about four
inches high and four inches thick is made
around it. A drain pipe about four
inches in diameter with wooden plug,
towards which the floor slopes slightly
makes cleaning the tank easy.
The wooden platform, standing about
a foot over the tank, is made Of strips
of plank an inch wide and nailed an inch
apart. The platform must be about two
feet shorter and two feet narrower than
the tank. The water in the tank. should
be kept about an inch and half deep.
AS the maggots crawl about looking for
dry places in the manure pile they fall
through the spaces between the strips
and are drowned.
If the tank is emptied of water and
washed out once week, it will not be-
come offensive and will give no danger
from mosquitoes breeding in the water.
This trap costs little to make, and, il
placed conveniently near the stable
door, will require little trouble. The
manure should be thrown upon the
wooden floor each day and may safely
be piled up until it is three or four feet
deep. Bulletin No. 200 of the United
States Department of Agriculture give
complete details of the construction anc
working of the maggot trap.
