of Big Crop

Mr.. G X. Beall, Superintendent of

day, and reports the outlook for fruit
exceptionally good.
The proposition he is looking after
taken in holdings OF 100 acresof land
with about $50 set fruit, including 20.-
900 apple trees and 10000 peach trees,
with good portion of them in bear
ing, the peaches having some of the
cropped two or more times. The time
will come when a full crop will mean
between a quarter and half millions
bushels of fruit. The work OF hand

a most gigantic undertaking. as the
marketing alone will be a big thing,
and the picking and packing will oc.

Hagerstown in a buggy. Then an,
other telephone message instructed

LIME FOR LEGUMEs.
How Good Yields of Glover Have Been
Secured In a New York County.


when County Agent Lacy began
work in Duchess county, n. Y. he
found the county almost destitute Of
leguminous crops reads a recent rec
ord in the files of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, RED clover
was the only one with which the farm
ers We're familiar, and they had failed
so frequently in attempting to grow it
that there was much Encouragement.
Repeated trials with alfalfa had met
with almost uniform failure. Protein
was purchased in the form of concen-
trates.
"The obvious neeG was home grown
protein, and to secure it cheap lime and
information in regard to growing vari-
Gus legumes were necessary. Ground
limestone was being offered for sale
in the county as high as IS ton. but
very little was used at that price.
1.-THE county agent discovered where
lime could be bought cheaply enough,
but the freight rates We're more than
the cost of the lime. After some nego-
tiations an adjustment was secured
from the railroads so that finely pull
verified limestone could be delivered to
nearly every station in the county at
$3.50 ton or less.
AS a result, good yields of clover
have been secured this year wherever
lime has been used. The successful
growth of clover and other legumes is
u matter of utmost Importance to the
farmers of Duchess county"

PREVENT SPREAD OF WEEDS.
Seed Readily Carried Everywhere by
the Wind--lncrease Amazingly.


Farmers striving 10 keep their lands
practically clean need law compelling
each one to take care of the most trou-
Alesome weeds. Legislation IS espe-
cially needed to prevent the growing
and spreading of all weeds. the seed
of which is readily carried everywhere
by the wind. This applies particular
ly TO wild carrot, devils paint brush.
etc. In some localities fields are prac-
tically abandoned to weeds. Pastures
often produce many noxious plants
and fence rows abound with brush and
weeds. IL such weeds could be kept
in check when grown. only moderate
damage would be done, but IL they
are not destroyed or moved off the
wind often scatters their seed widely.
In recent years In many sections
weeds have increased amazingly, and
it is now impossible for any farmer
alone to maintain clean farm. Many
good farmers do not try any longer to
hNtP NtihS III Nbt@hs htNhbNE Witt >
pay no attention to the matter. law
exists in some states and is quite gen
orally enforced, requiring all noxious
weeds along the highway TO be cut
twice annually. If such law could
be extended to the fields it would help
matters materially. although much
more stringent law is desired.
Such a law would make il possible
for careful farmers to raise clean seed.
both for home~use and for sale to other
farmers. This i'll grass seed alone
would soon result in great improve
ment Less weed seed would be sown,
thereby decreasing the abundant crop.
Legislation affecting the care of a
mans farm and the crops he grows
may be difficult to enforce, but it Is
no more so than some of the existing
laws regarding fruit trees, etc. Such
laws as can be rigidly enforced regard
ing weeds will eventually benefit all
farmers. making their land more at
tractlye, more productive and decided
" more profitable.

for various types OF machines. There

The hot air heated machines are

three prominent makes OF machines,
one OF each type. that have given in
our experience equal results when
worked under the same conditions with
eggs from the same stock preserved for
Matching by methods that assure equal
fertility.
The question Of whether machine
using moisture Is better than one Of
the nonmoisture type Is one that the
buyer must decide. There are In use
as many of one as Of the other, and
they give equally good results. The
questions of moisture and heating are
really matters for personal solution.
Experience has shown us that incuba-
tors built to use moisture pans do not
give good results when the pans are
not used. Nor are nonmoisture ma
chimes improved by the use Of mois-
ture pans.
Mammoth incubators are all heated
by hot water circulating from coal
stoves. Most OF them are OF the non
moisture type, though one manufac-
turer has recently included moisture
pans as part of the regular equipment
OF hts machines. believing moisture has
proved somewhat helpful In securing
good matches. But both types have
given good results.

Farm Club Movemen. In Arkansas.

Arkansas has taken up the farm club
movement in serious earnest, Says the
Farm Progress. This is one of the
greatest movements in America today
and deserves TO succeed. We have
heard it said that the farmer is being
"clubbed TO DEATH" Don't you believe
it. 1t is fact that the vast majority
of American farmers have been nei-
Their hurt nor helped by the club move
ment, for the very good reason that
the clubs have never touched them or
their work. They have stayed out
when they might have come in.
Arkansas advocates of the club idea
are hoping that 1900 boys and girls
will have joined the clubs in that state
by the end of next year. There are
clubs in plenty. 1t is easy to organize
a "corn club if you are interested In
corn, or a 'spig" or a peanut club" if
those meet your liking better. There
are cotton clubs" too, in great num-
bers, and for the farm girls there are
tomato clubs" and dread clubs"
Sewing clubs and poultry clubs"
Give the boys an acre of corn ground
and pig and the girls two sittines
of good eggs and tenth of an acre
for tomatoes. Get into touch with the
people at the head of the club work in
your state, no matter in what state
you live in.
