DRAINAGE GOOD INVESTMENT
improved Crops often Pay for Cost Of
Drainage in One Year.
BY PROF II. n. MUssELMAN,
Department Of Farm Mechanics, Mich
iaan Agricultural College.

East Lansing, Mich.-Someone has
asked: "What profiteth a man 10 till
more If he does not tile more?" Many
land owner asked himself this ques-
ton early I'm the season, when the low
places were saturated with moisture.
Tillage methods will be of no avail
where the beating rains and water
standing in the field during the early
growing season of the crop reduces
practically all of the results of tillage
to naught. There are few other evils
where the remedy is so well known
and certain. Many years of experience
have demonstrated the advantages of
tile drainage. 1t is one of the best inn
provements that can be made and the
surest to yield returns. Many owners
who have not had the opportunity to
observe the results on land which has
been thoroughly drained do not appre-
ciate the tremendous advantage of car
rying out this Improvement. In some
sections Of the country where drainage
methods have been carefully studied
and followed, the practice of draining
the land with lines of tile three rods
or fifty feet apart has become almost
standard practice, and in these sec.
tons land is considered practically
worthless unless 1t has drains at least
from four TO eight rods apart.
The cost of draining may be figured
at from $50 to $40 an acre, depending
upon local soil, labor and material con
ditlons. Perhaps one of the things
which has deferred drainage as an i'm.
provement has been the lack Of work
ing capital, but by advantages offered
through the federal reserve loan aci
II is possible in many cases now to
thoroughly improve the farm and in
crease the value of the land itself In
addition to increasing crop produc
ton.

TO know what we may expect IL we put
potatoes into cellars or pits this year.
Late blight, the disease which Is
the common cause OF rotting in the
cellars, is entirely absent In Michigan
this year, because of the dry weather
conditions during the first half Of the
potato-growing season. Fortunately,
we can store potatoes this season
without fear of rotting from this dis
ease.
There are, however, fnngi always
present on potatoes, which will cause
rotting II the storage conditions are
not good or If the potatoes are wound
ed or bruised. These fungi lead TO the
various dry rots. Hot, humid condi-
tons are ideal for the development OF
these moles, while dry, cool, well-venti-
lated locations are safe. Too imma-
ture potatoes, with broken skins,
bruised potatoes, or potatoes with fork
holes or grub injuries are prone to rot.
This, of course, may be easily avoid
ed by proper sorting
Occasionally pits are found in which
the potatoes show blackened hearts.
Experiments have shown that high
temperature 600 degrees FahrenheiD
In the storage cellar or car may lead
TO a breaking down of the 'tuber, which
manifests itself by blackening Of the
heart Recent work by New York In
vestigators shows that even at low
temper0turpc black heart NAV occur
If aeration Is poor. in the reported
trials potatoes kept for ten TO twelve
days at room temperature with scanty
air supply showed blackened hearts.
1t Is evident that these results have
great Importance because Of their APP
plicability to pit and warehouse stor-
age. Potatoes must be kept cold, and
in large pits ventilation must be pro-
vided for.
In some of the northern regions
black leg Is abundant This Is bac-
terial disease and affected tubers rot
at the stem ends. Tubers showing
black leg should be used at once, since
there will be considerable loss in stor-
age.
The grower can store without fear
Of rottng from blight this year. How
ever, potatoes affected with black leg
are unsafe for storage. Only sound
tubers should be put IN pit or ware
house. The pits must be made with
care, in order that the potatoes may
be kept cool and well ventilated. The

BY w. z. j. EDWARDS,
Department of Animal Husbandry,
Michioan Agricultural CoIIene


East Lansing Mich.-With the price
of pork abnormally high and still soar
ing, the wise farmer is carefully study
Ing the mixing of feeds for hogs so
that the largest and cheapest gains will
be produced in the shortest time. AS
the price Of pork has advanced. all
feeding stuffs for hogs have advanced
correspOndingly and in some cases TO
greater extent. so it is essential that
these high-priced feeds be used to the
very best advantage. The proper bal
anclng of the ration, important I'm nor
NAL times, is douby important now.
The right amount of lean meat bone
and fat-fOrming constituents should
be fed so that there will be no loss.
Hogs must have certain amounts of
these constituents, but if any one is
fed. beyond certain point the excess
is wasted. On the other hand, if there
is a deficiency in any one of the food
properties, the cost of production is in
creased and the gains decreased.
Hogs which have been on pasture
when put in the feeding pens should
be fed very carefully for some time at
least. With the diminished amount
of exercise, they are easily put off
feed. The feeder should not be overly
anxious to increase the feed rapidly as
n hog once put off feed, if closely con-
fined as the bulk of our hogs are when

being finished, may never be as thrifty
again. II is much better to feed slight
ly too little, and thereby keep the APP
petite keen at all times, so that the
amount can be increased gradually
throughout the whole feeding period,
than to get overly anxious and In

The milk has the greatest feeding
