MISSOURI CROP OUTLOOK IS
GOOD.
Wheat Yield of rS,471, 600 is the Fore

the condition for the State is 88, The
total yield of wheat will be small
but the preliminary estimate is that il

There is practically no complaint
of damage by insect pests. Weather

While there has been but little dam

are now critical.
Some corn has been laid by, while

in progress in the bottoms that had
been overfiowed. The condition of
corn is So, as compared with 8o.4 for
the Io-year July average, and is the
highest July condition for the de-
cade.
While wheat is generally thin on
the ground, heads are we'll filled and
berries plump. so that the quality is
excellent.

and see Prof. J. C. and Mrs. Bowman
on Big Hill pike, one mile and a
half from Berea.
A fence row $50 yards long was
prepared. inside and out, for bean:
and sunnowers. Beans planted on
the inside and sunflowers on the out
side. With little cultivation for the
beans and without sticking, Mrs
Bowman put up 81 gallons OF can
ned beans. two bushels OF picked
beans. one bushel Of dried beans,
and saved one gallon for seed.
There will be a large quantity OF
the sunnower seed gathered for
poultry feed this winter.
This not only was an economical
plan. but il added much beauty to
the wire fence and was very at
tractive to passers-by the entire
season.

MANURE SHOULD BE PROTECTED
FROM LEACHING
Manure Should Be Stored in Sheds
When It Is Impossible to Haul
II Out Daily

Manure is one Of the perishable
farm products, and under ordinary
conditions it is impossible to return
all of this material to the land. In
fact the average farmer returns only
about half the fertility contained in
manure, and many men fall far short
of this. The decrease in the value
of manure in the farmyard is due
to- several causes, but the teaching
away of the soluble material dur
ing rains is one of the most common
sources of loss. Experiments car
ried on at various experiment sta
lions show that where manure is
exposed to the weather for a period
Of five or six months no less thar
500 of the fertility is lost. The aver
age farm animal uses only SINAI
portion of the mineral elements con-
sumed i'm the feed and on the aver
age about 500 of the nitrogen, 7OP'
of the phosphorus and 1870 OF thu
potassium is avoided in the manure
These elements, especially the po
tassium, and nitrogen, are II
very soluble form and are readil!
leached away by rain water. Tn,

PRODUCTION OF OATS

James Lambert of Boone. Rock
castle County, with careful and
extra preparation of the soil; with
the addition Of phosphorus, produced
3O5 bushels from eleven acres.
George Wren in the same neigh
borhood with careful and extra
preparation produced $50 bushels
from seven acres.
Such reports as these should be OF
some encouragement to the people
of this section along the line Of oat
production. Oats can be raised and
are being raised by people who give
the oats a chance TO grow and de-
velop themselves into bountiful
crops.
Farmers should follow the example
of these men and produce more oats
next year.

POTATO DINNER DISHES
Some Suggestions for Utilizing Q
Food That Is Now Both Cheap
and Plentiful


Are you eating your share OF the
country's bumper potato cr6p9" asks
the United States Department OF
Agriculture in a recent statement.
Now that the tubers are once moro
plentiful and cheap they may well
be given a prominent place on tho
dinner table,"
Tested Potato Recipes
or the many possible recipes, tho
following are suggested as more or
less TYPICAL:
Potato Soup
Three potatoes, medium size; \
cups skim milk; small onion; 4
tablespoons butter or other fat; ?
tablespoons flour; ~ teaspoons
salt; Y teaspoon celery salt, or I
stalk Of celery cut in inch pieces; n
teaspoon chopped parsley. A little
cayenne pepper or paprika.
Boil the potatoes and when soft
rub them through a sieve. Slice
the onion and scald this and the
celery with the milk. Take out the
onion and celery and add the milk
slowly 10 the potatoes. Melt two
tablespoons butter or fat, into which
mix the dry ingredients, and stir into
the boiling soup. Boil one minute:
strain, add the remainder OF the
butter, or Fat, and sprinkle with the
parsley when ready 10 serve. Tho
parsley improves the looks and adds
a little flavor. but may be omitted II
this is more convenient.
Stuffed Potatoes
A nice way TO secure variety is TO
cut a slice from the top Of each
baked potato and scrape out the In
side. Mash, season with salt, pep
per. chopped parsley or chopped
celery leaf, or onion juice III liked 4,
and butter, or savory fat. and heat
in a little hot milk; add two WELL
beaten whites Of eggs. Refill the
skins, sprinkle with grated cheese
or bread crumbs, and bake in a hot
oven about six minutes.
Dreamed Potatoes
There are several different ways
in which creamed potatoes may be
prepared. (D Freshly boiled or cold
potatoes may be cut into small cubes
and served heated in cream sauce.

MOUNTAIN AGRICULTURE
by Spence Farm Demonstration and spec
Investigator

| phosphorus is slightly more stable
and smaller per cent. OF IL is lost.
However, its loss is not so important
because IT is present in much
smaller quantities and its selling
price per pound is far below either
of the other two elements.
The greatest loss from teaching
will occur where animals are fed in
open lots. Here q very large per
cent. Of the manure is directly ex-
posed to the rainfall and the loss
may be even greater il the lots are
located on hillsides where much Of
the material may be carried away
by erosion. This greatly impov-
erishes the manure and lessons its
ability to produce crops. A three
years test at the New Jersey Station
showed that fresh manure gave i0Pe
greater increase in the yield Of crops
than did leached manure.
Fully one-half Of the plant food
value Of manure is contained in the
liquid portion. Since this is entirely
soluble in water il is the most read
lily leached away. Much greater
care is therefore necessary in con-
serving this material than is requir-
ed with the solid portion. An am
pie supply of bedding Of some sort
should always be used to absorb the
liquid before il has time to drain
away or ferment. Where large
quantities are produced a cistern
for its storage may be advisable.
The teaching Of manure may be
largely prevented by hauling it di-
rect to the field, or by proper meth
DDS of storage. When possible it is
better to haul the manure direct TO
the land as soon as il is produced.
Then the teachings are largely car
ried into the soil by the rain water
rather than lost in the drainage
from the feed lot. The manure from
hogs and sheep should il possible be
allowed to drop in the field, for
these manures are the most difficult
to haul back to the land and the loss
thru teaching may be even greater
than with the manure from other
animals.
II it is impractical to haul the ma
nure direct to the field as soon as 1t
is produced, il is suggested that IL
be stored in such a way as to reduce
the loss from teaching as much as
possible. This is best accomplished
by keeping the manure under cover,
that is. by leaving il in stalls or
sheds where it is we'll tramped
down, or by piling it in shed built
for the purpose. When manure is
piled in a shed it should be packed
down well and kept moist to prevent
"fire-fanging."
II no shed is available the best
method Of storing it in the open is
by piling it in a compact pile with
nearly perpendicular sides. The
pile should be left fiat on top so that
it will absorb the rain rather than
allow il to run Off. This not only
lessons the amount Of teaching, but
helps keep the manure moist and
thus reduces the fermentation.
Where it is necessary to sore large
quantities of manure in the open, il
will often be found profitable to
construct a concrete manure pit or
floor having raised edges, where all
the teachings from the manure pile
can be saved.
