A Pittsburgh scribe, writing in behalf of the players, says that because of the high price of food stuffs players are justified in de- manding at least as much as they were paid last year, if not more. If Dave Fultz had caught that ar gument sooner he might not have called off the strike. But how about the poor fellows who are not fed at the expense of their clubs, yet have not received salary advances-some of the baseball scribes for instance?

IOWA FARM NEWS AND NOTES.

fertility tests being conducted Ivy the
soils section of the Iowa agricultural
experiment station in twenty-five To-
|calities in the state.
A four-year rotation Of corn, oats
and clover Is followed with a study OF
local soil needs in producing ordinary
farm crops, based on the economic
maintenance of humus, nitrogen, phos-
phorus and lime. The tests are located
in the counties Of Black Hawk, Buena
Vista, Clinton, Dickinson, Greene, Har-
din. Henry, Linn, Mitchell Montgom-
cry, Muscatine. Page, Sioux, Scott, Sto-
~ and Union.
Up to the present time the results
indicate a quicker and more economic
response in crop growth by applying
stable manure in moderate amounts
and at regular intervals
Satisfactory increases in production
in some cases have been secured by
adding phosphorus furnished in botn
the forms Of acid phosphate and raw
rock phosphate in combination with
The question of the best amount OF
limestone needed to- encourage the
largest growth of clover Is being stud
led, but as clover has not yet appeared

cations are yet available. .-..

EXPERIMENTS SHOW
PROFIT IN LIMITING
CATTLE CORN RATION

! That It Is not only possible, but prof
liable to cut down the amount Of high
priced corn fed to 2-year-old fatten-
ing steers If fed with silage, linseed
oil meal and alfalfa hay, was the big
fact demonstrated Friday, cattle feed
ing" day, at Iowa State College, when
more than 400 cattle feeders of Iowa
and farm editors from many parts OF
the country gathered at Ames, to get
the results Of feeding experiments
conducted the past few years by the
animal husbandry section. Such
crowd arrived for the day that no
judging pavilion at the college was
large enough to accommodate them
In the big experiment demonstrated,
six lots of steers had been fed, the
first sheled corn self-fed corn silage

one half pounds and alfalfa practical

half as much corn: lot 4. same as
except they received one-fourth as
much corn; lot 8, same as group
except silage was replaced with al

cattle had outside concrete yard
Lot 4, one-fourth full fed on corn,

The experiment brought out these
facts: The difference In gain is small

spring house cleaning in the vineyard
and should be done now, says an au-
thority on grape pruning Of the horti-
cultural department at Ames. o..
To prune intelligently the primer
above all, must keep in mind that the
fruit of the grape is borne on shoots
or laterals. which grow from the bud
on the 1-year-old wood. The pruning
of grapes is renewal proposition.
Enough 1-year-old wood must be left
to produce a maximum crop, of grapes
and provision must he made for re-
newing this wood to produce the next
crop.
Fruit producing wood is best pro-
vided by leaving four to six canes OF
six to ten buds in length. These canes
NAV be fastened to the trellis in fan
shape This is the easiest way or
training for the amateur to practice
Canes about the thickness Of Il lead
pencil having round plump buds and
s!cr: nodes make best wood for fruit
production.
Renewal canes are secured by ieav-
ing one or two short spurs on the old
wood behind the fruiting cane. The
top bud on these spurs should open in
the direction in which it is desired to
grow the renewal cane.
These suggestions outline in brief
the long cane with spur renewal sys-
tenn of pruning BY practicing this
system during the past three seasons
a number Of grape growers at coun-
Gil Bluffs have practically renewed
