nearly maintained in the rotation Of
the MANFRED 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
vas noticeable. The unmanured plot
"';iS much lighter in color and Of
much poorer texture, thus showing
very clearly it's 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.
Lcgumes are hulnus-building crops,
soil, nitrogen is necessary. and these
plants secure it from the air. This
experiment shows clearly the adj
v;;ntages Of live stock farming in
maintaining soil fertility.
Upon the plot where farm manure
was applied with rotation of corn,
wheat and clover, there was n margin
OF 5:s bushels of corn per acre above
tle cost of growing. Estimating that
it will cost 2J bushels or about $40
per acre to grow the corn, there is a
cash profit of so cents per bushel, Of
$3.50 per acre.
In the second plot, where emo ma
nure was applied, with rotation O..
corn, wheat and clover, there was a
margin of 26 bushels above the cost
# growing or a cash profit of $13.
On the plot where corn was grown
continuously for II years, without 70.
t;:tion, there was a loss of $3.50 per
::cre, or ID bushels below the cost of
producing an acre of corn.

The Iowa Beef Producers associn-
lion carried on an investigation in
iowa covering 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 ~
bushels Of corn p<r 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 80 bushels per acre on ten
average grain farms.
Ten average stock farms produced
20 tons Of clover per acre as against
IL tons per acre on ten average grain
farms. These comparisons speak for
themselves.
one.crop System.
A one-crop system will impoverish
any country, and In turn 1t will i'm
poverish the people that are on it's
farms. 1t 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. u
Livestock farming Is diversified
farming and calls for system Of crop
rotation with legumes. It returns fer
tility to the soil. It adds interest to
the work Of the young people and
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 q 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 found
profitable. Varying combinations Of
live stock may be found profitable.
Livestock farming requires 4 de-
pendable feed supply. Silage and al
falfa are an excellent basis. Corn.
kafir, and other similar crops furnish
silage.
Each farmer should make q BUSH
ness Of growing his own beef as we'll

as his own vegetables. Also his own
protein feed for his stock, and ex-
pend as little money as possible for
bran, cottonseed meal, and other high
priced protein feeds.
Dairy Essentials. "
The dairy business, too, calls for in
tellectual activity. Such exercise is
good for the boys and girls. The dairy
business evens up things on the farm.
It gives steady employment. It is q
cash business. A man feels independ-
ent when he knows that his income
is steady. Dairying builds up the
farm. It requires fewer acres and
consequently leads to more neighbors.
There is always an air Of prosperity
about a we'll handled dairy farm. The
dairy business adds permanency to
the community. The success Of the
man engaged in it depends upon keep
ing milk records. It costs but little
and returns a hundredfold. There are
good cows and poor cows. A farmer
should find out which are the poor
cows and which are the good ones.
This can be done by marking down
what they produce each day, and us
Ing the Babcock test. Milk the good
cows and sell the improbable ones
for beef.
Feed what you raise, and raise
what you feed" has been the watch
word Of the best farmers in America
for many years. It is the only safe
system.
Living on the farm means more
than most of US realize. Not just to
live there, but to make It home.
Not just to grow corn, wheat and al
falfa, but for the benefits that may
come to our homes and to our chill
dren through the things that we pro
duce. ..........
It does not make much difference
how much wheat we raise or HOY
much corn we grow, but it does make
4 tremendous difference what We ID
with the profit that we get from the
corn and the other things that are
produced from the soil.
Farmer Was Power.
The pioneer American farmer OF
the nineteenth century was power
In his day. He did we'll his work OF
clearing away the forests, establish
ing homes, building roads and settling
the wilderness. And If he did not
cultivate and care for the soil as hi
should have done, we cannot blame
him, because the need was not press
ing that day. It was not his problem
The care Of the soil Is the problem

called upon for many things that arr

Secretary Lane favors restoring such of the oil lands ill Cali fornia as had been located and legiti- mate development work commenced upon prior to the withdrawal by Presl- dent Taft to the claimants. In some instances sums running into the hun dreds of thousands had been spent by locators on these lands prior to their withdrawal, and the investors denied the privilege of continuing their work or recovering the sums spent.
