Very frequently requests are coming
in for information regarding the use
of calf meals. as to whether or not
the calf meals on the market are prof
table. The following conclusions on
this subject were drawn from a test
recently conducted by the Purdue Uni
versity.
81. The use of skim milk as
feed for young calves is increasing in
those sections where it is available
in large quantities It's use for this
purpose shoul be encouraged unless
its market value is above thirty cents
per hundred pounds. So long as skim
milk available as feed for live
stock, milk substitutes for dairy calves
are OF comparatively limited value.
"2. In certain sections of the state.
the chief product sold from the farms
is whole milk. Under these condi.
tions, the growing of dairy heifers
becomes a very expensive proposition
unles a milk substitute may be Sc
cured. making it possible to reduce
the amount or milk required for calf
feeding to the minimum. Under such
conditions, the use of home-mixed
calf meal is advisable although the
calf so produced will not be 80 well
developed at six months OF age as II
fed milk during its early growing
period.
'3. The prices charged by concerns
manufacturing calf meals are usually
very much above the actual cost of
producing them, chiefly on account
of advertising costs. transportation
charges and dealers profits. All
things being equal so far as the eff
cency of the ration is concerned. the
use of ready dy-prepared calf meal is.

high retail prices of such feeds.

ford's calf meal do not warrant it's
recommendation as an absolute milk
substitute for the growing OF dairy
calves.
"5. In order for a ration to be
considered an unqualified success for
dairy calves, 1t should produce, at
least, one pound of gain per day as an
average for the first six months of the

est. The following schedule shows the
benefits year by year during the entire
20 year period based on a $4,000 water
cost and per cent annual interest
The total amount paid is $4,000. The
value of the use of the money invested
during the time at 6 per cent interest
is s3S.S3 and the land holder actually
pays Spills above the benefits he re-
ceives as the cost of his water rights.
If the settler was buying land with
paid up water right he would pay
cash for the water or would pay in
terest on the unpaid portion of the pur-
chase price. Now, suppose the settler
has the cash to pay for the water
right. For instance. suppose he buys
40 acres of land. AT 5000 per acre the
total water charge would be S24OO. 90
If he will loan this money for 90 years
and months at per cent the inter
est will amount to s2976.OO. The in
terest will pay the entire cost of the
water, will pay $4,000 profit and the
land holder will have the $2400OO at
the end of the term of payments. The
terms given by the government surely
are liberal. The man who hasn't the
money to pay for water right has 81
crop seasons to make the cost out of
the land. and the man who has the
money can make the interest pay the
entire cost of the water and have
tn principal left and have a profit
besides.-George w. Bruce.

IMPORTANCE OF PLANTING
IN THE GROWING OF CORN

The methods employed in planting
corn are especially important in re
gions where either moisture or heat
is insufficient. The following sugges-
tions. taken from Farmers 773, are
made by C. P. Hartley and l.. l. Zook,
of the Office of Corn Investigations,
Bureau of Plant Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture.
Listings, or planting in burrows, is
the most common and best method of
planting corn in a large part of the
semi-arid aread. 1t is not only eco
nomical, as it permits large acre
ages to be handled at the least cost,
but it also places the plants to the
best advantage to withstand drought
AS the furrows are closed by cultiva-
tion, the plant roots are placed well
below the surface. A deep soil mulch
can be maintained without injury to
the roots. The plants are more Sc
when surface planted
In some semi-arid sections, early
summer conditions are favorable for
rapid growth The plants make a
tender, rapid growth and become larg-
er than the later moisture supply will
support. Listing retards this rapid
growth and is often a decided advant-
age on this account.
Where the seasons are very short,
surface planting is better than listing,
as the retarding of early growth
leaves the plants insufficient time to
reach maturity. Where surface plant.
ing is practiced on fairly level land
1t is usually advisable to plant in
checks to prevent cross cultivation.
Cross cultivation makes weed and
grass control easier. 1t also assists
cultivation, drying and warming a
larger part of the soil surface.
A thin stand of plants is an essen.
tial feature of successful corn grow.
ing in regions of limited moisture
supply. When planting is done with a
lister in rows 3 to 3k feet apart.
the plants should be one in a place
and from IS to &c inches apart, de
pending upon the rainfall and the
fertility and the water-holding capac
ity of the soil. In surface-planted
corn with the hills 31a feet apart each
way, the stand should not be thicker
than two plants per hill. Even with
the best seed more kernals should be

planted than the number of plants
desired. Some young plants, mostly
the weaker ones, will perish
The usual distance between corn
rows is about " feet, which is aeon
venient distance for cultivating. With
the rows at this distance the roots
meet between the rows and occupy all
of the upper soil before the corn
comes into tassel.
In certain droughty sections, where
the seasons are comparatively long,
increasing the width of row to feet
and doubling the stand in the row
has been found to be an advantage.
On account of being close together
compete for the nearby moisture and
are prevented from making too rapid
and too tender a growth. The roots
the plants have about reached their
full growth, and the moisture in the
soil between the wide rows benefits
the plants at the time they are form
ing hclt lut are
long other crops. or another crop of
corn, can be planted later in the sea
son between the Z foot rows if the
seasonal rainfall proves sufficient.
The success of the crop depends
upon having the corn reach the ear
forming period when the moisture and
heat are available at the same time.
The chances are increased by making
very early and late planting of an
early-maturing variety. Using seed of
an early-maturing variety in one
planter box and seed of late-matur-
ing variety in the other box increases
the chances of having some plants
reach the ear-forning period when
moisture Ind heat are available at
the same time.
Corn should not be covered with
more than 11a to inches of soil ex-
cept when the surface is dry and it is
necessary to plant deeper to reach
moist soil. In cold, heavy soils 1 inch
is sufficient.

In order to show the advantage there
is to the settler under the Government
Uncompahgre Valley Irrigation Project
in having 20 years time in which to
repay the cost of constructing the sys-
TEN, during which time there is no
interest charge on the money invested.
We submit the following statement of
facts and schedule of figures showing
term of payment etc.
We cannot at this time give the
exact cost of the water right, but for
the purpose of this statement we will
assume that the cost will be $50. 90 per
acre and that the use of money is
worth 6 per cent per annum. Six per
cent is the usual interest rate charged
on irrigation bonds.
The terms of repayment are as
follows: Two per cent of the cost to
be paid annually during the first four
next two years, and 6 per cent annually
during the remaining fourteen years.
Payments will be due December first
of each year; the first payment to be
made December first of the year
assessments are made. On this plan
the land holder has the advantage of
a full water right for an entire irriga-
tion season, say from April first to
December first before any payment is
made, or in other words, the land
holder has the use of $4,000 invest
ment for eight months without inter

Two lots of hogs have been weighed
during the past week. One of 5S hogs
and the other of 81. Both lots are to
be fed corn as finishing ration. One
lot was on the farm of w. II. Bailey
and the other on the farm of Jas. Par
rish.
Mr.. Soloman. of Olathe, will market
a number of hogs in a few days. They
are being finished on corn in a self
feeder The hogs are well finished
and will weigh about $50 lbs. These
hogs have been purchased by Mr.
Soloman from neighbors and at the
public sales. They have paid a good
profit so far With the present out
per cwt. for tops. Mr.. Soloman should
realize high price.
Several of the valley farmers who
have silos report that in combination
with silage, the second cutting af al.
falfa is giving equally good results as
first cutting. Analysis show that the
second cutting contains as much nu-
triment as either Of the other cuttings.
II is true that where silage is fed the
second cutting of alfalfa is consumed
more readily. This is a new argI.
ment in favor of sialge. II is sug-
gested that those who have silos and
are feeding silage to cattle, try this
combination and note results. This in.
formation will be very valuable to the
industry. In case this cutting is found
as valuable as other cuttings when
fed with silage. none of the feeders
can afford not to have a silo.
