Of Farm Crops.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Much Of the destruction to crops by
insect pests is due to the failure Of
farmers and fruit growers to detect an
outbreak at Its beginning, and to delay
In getting the necessary cOmbatlve ma
terial. Farmers who provide them
selves with insect polsons and then
keep a vigil for the first outbreaks Of
crop enemies will bring through the
largest yields.
That a great part Of the annual loss
to grain crops due to insect injuries
can be avoided by vigilance and Wig
OrOus action on the part Of growers is
not sufficiently realized. Frequently
insect outbreaks originate within a
limited area, and when this is the case
1t is often quite possible to stamp
them out before any great damage has
been done. If the outbreak is general,
then community action is essential to

FOR SUCCESS WITH ALFALFA
Any Type Of Soil, Well Drained, Free
Of Weeds and Of Reasonable
Fertility viii Do.

Alfalfa may be successfully raised
on almost any type Of soil providing
that 1t is well-drained, free Of weeds
and In reasonable state of fertility.
Good drainage must be provided.
The ground must be made free Of
weed seeds.
Soils lacking in fertility should be
well-manured, as alfalfa requires large
amounts of plant food. If sufficient
manure is not to be had, 1t should be
supplemented with a commercial fer
tllizer rich in phOsphoric acid and
potash.
If the soil is sour, it must be lined
before alfalfa can do well.
incubation Of the soil will general
ly be necessary.

HUMUS ONE OF ESSENTIALS
II Prevents Cohesion Of Soil CRANE
Into Solid clods-Farmers Are
Urged to Rotate.

Humus is one Of the essentials In
soils. 1t prevents cohesion Of the soil
grains into solid clods. It prevents
land from becoming sticky. Every
farmer is urged to rotate his crops,
blowing under a good sod Of clover or
some legume as often as the rotation
calls for. the purpose being to increase
humus. Stable manure, In which is
mixed the straw and corn stalks, an
swers the same purpose. BY all means
put back into the soil as much humus
as the fields have grown or you will
come face to face with lessened fer
tility and difficult farming.

GOOD PASTURAGE FOR SWINE

Supplement native pasture with rape
or other forage crops.
1t is well to sow rape in three plots
at intervals of about three weeks. The
dwarf Essex variety is used at the
station farm, sOwed in drills % inches
apart at the rate Of six pounds to the
acre.
Rape stalks should not be closely
pastured after the leaves are eaten
off. The plants should be about IA to
IS inches high when the pigs are
turned in.
For less intensive feeding, when
fewer animals are kept on the same
lot for a longer time, rape is sown
broadcast with oats and clover. Five
pounds of rape, six pounds Of clover,
and one bushel Of oats are sOwn per
acre. Swine should not be turned in
until the crop is eight or ten inches
high. An acre with a good stand of
crop should supply 10 spring pigs with
forage for the rest of the season.

No seed for free distribution nor for

daily telegraphic and other reports as
to available supplies Of seeds of crops

eating seed stocks for localities where
shortages exist. The committee Is CO.

CHICKENS AID FOOD SUPPLY
Hen Is Only Producing Creature That

(By A. c. SMITH. Minnesota Experiment
Station.)
The hunger period which threatens
the United States and It's allies in the
present war may be warded of, in
part, at least, by attention to the low
ly chicken.
The hen is the only producing crea-
ture that can be probably kept on
small areas such as city and village
lots, that will transfer table waste into
a highly edible product. She selects
from waste material, bugs, weeds and
grasses a large part of her living for
several months in the year, and dur
ing this time is usually a high pro-
Queer of very fertile eggs. She re-
produces her kind much more often
than any other productive animal.
She can be cared for by women and
children and often by invallds and con-
valescents.
Other poultry, including ducks, geese
and squads, should also receive careful
attention, in view of the present and
future food situation.
