CONDITION OF CROPS

CONDITION OF CROPS
A bumper" hay crop is being har-
vested this year around Addison County,
which will probably exceed to consider
able extent the large crop of last year
Already the first crop of alfalfa has been
stored and the second crop will be ready
by the time the farmers have their other
hay harvested,
Small grains have been growing well
of late and while the heavy rains a few
weeks ago, destroyed some of this crop
it looks now as though there would be a
heavier yield than there has been in the
past few years. As might well be eX-
pected the corn crop is not up to the
average at the present time; however,
il has been growing well during the past
few weeks, If properly cultivated and
providing we have a fairly late fall a
good crop of corn, especially for silage
purposes, may be expected There is a
large acreage of soy beans planted in
the corn this year, which will add mate
rally to the food value of this crop.
FARM HELP
The work Of finding farm help to be
distributed throughout the state has
been carried on during the last few
weeks very effectively through the office
of the Commissioner of Agriculture.
Men are being found who are willing
and able to take up the "hoe and the
fork to help out in the present need of
farm labor. These men after being
found are being distributed through the
offices of the different county agents
throughout the state. Already the
names of II men have reached the Office
of the County Agent of Addison county
and farmers who have been in need of
help have been put in touch with these
men. Other names are coming in of
men who are ready to do farm work and
farmers throughout the county who are
in need of the men at this time should
make application to the County Agent,
j. +, Carrigan Some of the labor
found is more or less inexperienced al
will not be as valuable men as the regu-
lar farm hands. In this year when
labor is so scarce and there are large
crops to be taken care of and harvested
the farmer should be willing to hire
whatever abor,is available and pay what
it is worth.
EFFICIENCY MEASURE
This year when there is need of pro-
ducing and conserving every possible
pound of food it it is very important
that the farmers adopt every available

ALL AROUND
THE FARM
LEGUMES ARE VALUABLE.

Furnish Nutritious Feed For Animals
and Also Enrich the Soil.
Prepared by United States department Of
Agricultural
Farmers have known for centuries
that the clovers, alfalfa, beans and
peas enriched the soil, SO that wheat,
corn, cotton and similar crops gave bet
ter yields when following them than
when planted after the grains or
grasses. The reason for this fact, how
ever, is of more recent discovery than
the fact itself.
The soil enriching, leguminous plants
possess normally nodules attached to
their roots. These are due to the pres
ence Of great numbers Of bacteria,
minute living organisms which enter
the roots from the soil. To us their
Importance lies in the fact that they
possess the power Of absorbing nitro
gen from the air as it circulates in the
soil and turning 1t into compounds
which are readily utilized in the growth
of the plants. Plants to which these
bacteria are not attached derive the
nitrogen required for their growth from

wonderful possibilities which exist to
accumulate fortune by growing CO.

duction of the coconut trees numerous

In the West Indies, Central and
South America the fruit is used chiefly
for local consumption, the water from
the green coconut being a beverage
decidedly cool and refreshing, with
medicinal values. The leaves from the
center of the top of the tree make an
excellent salad and are to be found in
all Latin American markets in the
zones in which they grow. The hewn
tree serves the native for a habitation.

Crimson clover, showing the most
advanced stage of ripening that Is
allowable to use for hay

the soil alone. In consequence legumi-
nous plants in general contain more nj
trogen than the nonleguminous They
are therefore richer feeds, and if they
are returned in whole or in part to the
soil they increase it's nitrogen content
and thus promote the growth of the fol-
lowing crop. A third advantage in
their use is the fact that when fed to
live stock the resulting manure has an
unusually high fertilizing value.
Under ordinary circumstances the
best way to dispose of these crops is
to feed them to live stock. All kinds
of stock will benefit from them. AL
falfa hay can be substituted in part
for such concentrates as wheat bran
and cottonseed meal for both dairy
and beef cattle. Red, alsike and sweet
clover and field peas are less nutri-
tious, but they are nevertheless more
valuable than timothy, redtop, orchard
grass or other nonlegumes.
Furthermore. the fertilizing value of
leguminous crop need not be lost
when it is fed. From IS to 30 per cent
Of this fertilizing value can be given to
the soil if the manure from the live
stock is spread promptly and properly.
The small percentage that is lost is in
significant in comparison with the gain
to the live stock.
For various reasons, however some
good and some bad, the farmer does
not always keep sufficient live stock to
furnish enough manure for the require
ments of the soil. Under such cir
cumstances a substitute must be found,
and the most available one is a legu-
minOus crop, called, when grown for
this purpose green manure crop. By
blowing under this crop humus is add
that it is by applications of manure.
Because they also add nitrogen legumes
are more desirable green manure crops
than nOnlegumes.
Plowed under crops, however, obvi-
ously produce no direct return, and for
that reason it is desirable whenever
possible that the same land should
produce during the season one crop for
harvest and one crop for green ma
nure. In the southern part of the
northern states grain, early potatoes
and number of other crops are har-
vested sufficiently early for them to
be followed by catch crop, as crop
following the main one is called.
When there is no time to grow a Sec
ond crop before cold weather, legumes
may still be used as winter cover crops
These serve three purposes-first, to
take up available plant food that might
otherwise be leached from the soil and
lost; second. to protect the land against
erosion; third, to supply winter pas
turage. In the spring they should be
turned under for green manure. Red
clover. crimson clover and hairy vetch
make good cover crops in the north.
A common practice is to mix hairy
vetch with rye.

Few Roads In China.

That Industrial development must
stagnate so long as transport facilities
are inadequate needs no emphasis, and
when it is borne in mind that there is
not road worthy Of the name, so much
as 100 miles long throughout China, it
becomes evident that the country is
very severely handicapped. Certainly
there are the rivers and canals, which
intersect the land in every direction,
but locomotion on them is naturally
slow and uncertain. Railways are few
and far between and serve only to con-
meet few of the larger centers.-Com-

Everyone has heard of the term, "ar-
chitectural STYLE" and is more or less
acquainted with it's meaning. Churches,
large public buildings and structures
designed to embody the character of
the fine arts are modelled closely after
some of the established architectural
styles, founded many years ago and
brought down to the present age
through the work Of the architectural
historians and archaeologists. Archi-
lecture Of the American home, like
American modes of living and the lam
guage spoken by Americans, is influ-
enced by the work of leaders in the
periods of the past. The characteris-
tics of the architecture Of various
countries are widely copied in the
American home. It is not necessary,
however, that the home follow the
Dutch, English, Renaissance or Colo
NAL architecture in order that it have
