LEGUMES INCREASE CROPS

Crop yields can be materially increased on many of the upland farms of the guilt coast region by raising more legunAs, which will add nitrogen and organic mat ter to the soil, say specialists of the United States department of agriculture, who have completed a study of farm practices in the region. They found that the soils in the area studied were defi- cient in nitrogen and organic matter. These essentials can be easily and cheap ly supplied by growing velvet beans, cowpeas, soy beans, bur clover, crimson clover. hairy vetch and heggar weed and by carefully utilizing all farm manures, crop residues and other sources of hpnl''S. Farmers Bulletin 9S6. which has recently been published by the department of agri- culture gives directions for raising these crops, together with suggestions for re- adjusting the cropping systems to in- clude them.
 The vegetable matter, the bulletin states, not only increases the amount or plant food, but also increases the water holding capacity of the soil, lessens the danger of soil erosion. improves it's physi- cal condition, makes a home for necessary soil bacteria, and acts as a storehouse for plant food No vegetable matter that can be turned under should be burned or

HORSE BEAN GOOD FEED CROP

Horse beans, because of their quality and high feeding value. should be grown much more extensively in this country, according to farmers bulletin 969, recent ly published by the United States de- partment of agriculture Their value, ac- cording to the bulletin, has long been known in the old world, where from an- cient time they have been grown as a vegetable, a forage and green manure crop. In some sections of this country particularly the Pacific coast states the large flat-seeded varieties are produced in home gardens and are used either green, dried or canned a vegetable much the same as any of the more com mon beans. Although their use as a stock feed has been limited in the United Sta tes, they are considered in some cases to be superior to field peas and other leguminous crops. All varieties of horse beans are winter growing annuals and should be planted in the fall in south ern states and in early spring in north ern attitudes.
 Horse beans are not very exacting as to soil requirements, but do best on we'll drained, heavyloam or clay-loam soil good supply of moisture, however, is essential The crop requires practically the same climatic conditions as common vetch. The hardier varieties stand a winter temperature of 15 degres above zero without serious injury, but the ten derer varieties are frequently killed by light frosts. Best development is made in cool weather and in localities having mild winter conditions such as prevail in the south and Pacific coast states. Seed
 ing can be done in September, Octo- bei or November, the exact time depend- ing largely upon the soil moisture avail

Inspect Cotton Seed Meal

Federal food inspectors of the bureau of chemistry, United States department of agriculture, have been instructed 10 look out for interstate shipments of cot ton seed meal and to take samples from all such shipments suspected of being adulterated' or nnsbranded under the federal food and drugs act.
 investigations have shown that some of the cotton seed meal is adulterated with ground cotton seed hulls. and much of it is labeled as containing a higher percetage of protein. the chief food con stituent. and a lower percentage of fiber. which has very low feeding value, than it actually does contain.
 Cotton seed meal is a highly nutritious stock feed, and it's more extended use is advocated by the United States de- partment of agriculture and the state experiment stations. The practice of adulterating it with ground cotton seed hulls and misbranding it as to protein and fibre will bring it into disrepute and mitigate against its more extended use, in the opinion of the department spe- cialists.
 Several cases charged with adultera- ton or mlsbranding of cotton seed meal have already been terminated in the courts and fines imposed upon the ship pers responsible for the violation of the federal food and drugs act

Play Week for Schools

Patriotic Play Week" will be cele-
 and winter A programme has been pre-
 pared by Miss Frances Nmmo Greene,
 county home demonstration agent or Montgomery county. It has been adopted
 from a handbook of patriotic instruction
 prepared by the state department of ed- ucation for use in the schools of Ala bama.
 The home demonstration agents will take part in this Patriotic Play Week. says Miss Mary F'eminear, state home demonstration agent of the Alabama eX- tension service, and it Is believed that
 both the teachers and the home demon- stration agents will find this programme,
 as prepared by Miss Greene. very helpful
 and suggestive. limited number of handbooks, from which this programme was adopted. can be had free of charge from the department of education in
 Montgomery. Those wishing to celebrate the Patriotic Play Week. can use the
 programme as outlined below, or can
 make alterations to suit their own taste and convenience. Hymn. Onward Christian Soldiers" Invocation.

Effects of Grain Shuts

Cereal smut surveys have been carried out during July and August in all hut four counties of New York state by the office of cereal investigation of the United States department of agriculture in cooperation with the county agents land farm bureaus. The immediate object of this survey is to determine the pre- alence of smut in each county and the number of farmers who treat their seed. Present indications are that there is an average of 3.5 per cent of smut in oats; barley is affected much worse, av- eraging per cent, while wheat is not badly diseased and will not warrant an extensive campaign this fall. The sur vey shows that seed Urea tment demon- strations are needed in many counties and a seed-treatment campaiagn is planned for next spring. This work win be done in direct cooperation with the county agents. Specific reports of the conditions found in his county have al- ready been made by the plant disease specialists to each county agent.
 The four counties not covered include those wholly occupied by cities or by the mountains and forests of the Adirondack region.

Sudan Grass Pasture

The New Mexico experiment. station reports that a seven-acre plat seeded April 19 to Sudan grass was divided into two parts and after SO days 12 cows were turned on one of the fields After a few days it was found that 12 cows were not sufficient to catch up with the growth the pasture was making, and eight more cows were added fo rf2 days The two fields were irrigated and pastured alternate ly during the season. the change be- ing made at intervals of about two weeks. Heavy rains came about the middle of October. making these fields too muddy for use. and the cows were given a small grain ration, averag sing four pounds per head. The 12 cows were divided into two lots, and the grain ration was salternated from one lot to the others every 30 days.
 The results of this part of the ox- pertinent indicate that it does not pay to feed a grain ration to cows run ming on good pasture During the four months that the cows were on pasture they gained an average If 19 pounds per head. and gave 27,42s.5 pounds of milk, which contained 109s.s pounds of milk fat The eight dairy and beef cows that were temporarily on the pasture gained IS pounds OCT hear in 12 days. The pasture carrie an average of two cows per acre and four months. There was no indication of poisoning by pasturing this grass in November after the frost came The results of this test indicate that Sudan grass should prove to be a val. uable supplement to permanent pas- lures during the summer under dry land conditions.

Wool Consumed

Manufacturers used a million and a half more pounds of wool in August than in July, 1918. August figures being s. 300 900 pounds, grease equivalent, com pared to 6, ,90o,000 in July. Monthly con- sumption has averaged about 67,00o,00 pounds, grease equivalent, since January l, 1918.
 Stocks of wool consumed in August in pounds. by classes, as given by the bu- reau of markets. were: Grease. 31,,69, 2l6; secured, 1l,732, ,697; and pulled, 2ol4,544. The reports show Massachusetts still leading in wool used, followed in order by Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Rhode Island, New York New Hampshire, Ohio, Connecticut and Maine.
 According to the latest available infor- nation on wool textile machinery equip ment there are 6377 woolen cards and 2263 combs in the United States. The three firms whose reports are not in cluded in the consumption figures have a combined capacity of 15 woolen cards and g worsted combs. This, it is pointed out. shows that the consumption report includes 99.7 per cent of the wooden ma chinery in the United States

Monroe for Live Stock

Monroe county is rapidly coming to the front as a live stock section. w. h.. Howard, the county demonstration agent, says that there is very noticeable de- sire among the farmers for better live stock and that they are taking much in- terest in the growing of winter pasture crops One of the farmers of this county who is quite successful with Hampshire
 hogs, is H. R. Marriott. MT. Howard, in recent report to the extension head quarters at Auburn. states that MT. Mar riott has more calls for breeding stock than he can supply.
 Another live stock farmer of this county who is doing some excellent work is J..
 O. Lambert, who has charge of the Uriah stock farm. His speciality is Duroc
 hogs, and he will soon have 100 brood
 sows The live stock of this farm is not confined to hogs. however, as much at tention is being given to Shorthorn cat
 tle At some future time it is the plan of MT. Lambert to hold a pure bred cat
 tie sale.
 MT. Howard recently visited these two
 live stock farmers, as well as some others, for the purpose of placing better
 stock on other farms of the county
 through the club members. This is spe- cific instance as to how the demonstra,
 tion agents serve the farmers or the county in which they are located.

Sheep in the Cornfield

There is no place where lambs will
 thrive better, do more good and so little
 damage. than in standing corn just after the roasting ear stage. Many middle
 west sheep breeders have found that enough corn blades go to waste and
 enough weeds to seed in their cornfields to grow millions of pounds of mutton By turning their lambs into the corn in September they turn this waste into meat and mutton.
 The advantages of pasturing lambs in the cornfield are many. only small part of the feeding value of fodder is recovered when the stalks are pastured after the corn is gathered. Besides. weeds are eaten or stripped of seed. and weed seed picked by sheep never grow. This early fall cleaning of weeds and lower blades from the corn stalks makes the final harvest easier, no matter how the crop is harvested
 Lambs will not bother the ears on standing corn so long as corn blades and weeds are abundant They will strip the stalks clean of the lower blades that ripen first

Burn Wood in Country

The coal shortage for next winter, es- about 14,OOo,OoO tons, makes it neces- sary that wood should be used to save both coal and transportation, Country districts and small villages are in po- siton to greatly help coal conservation by burning wood
 Farmers now use on their farms S3.- 0O0, ,000 cords of fuel wood annually. All farms should use it during the war or emergency periods. officials urge.
 Any kind of coal stove or furnace can be used for burning wood in a pinch. With careful attention to drafts and grates the change can be made with little trouble.
 On the average according to the forest service. United States depart ment ot agriculture, cord of wood is about equal to seventeenth of a ton of coal. Two cords of soft wood are re- quired to equal ton of coal, but a cord of wood from number of well known kinds of trees will equal ton of coal in heating value. and for three varieties-Osage orange, Canyon, live oak and black locust-a cord has a higher heating value than ton or coal. Most of the oaks and hickories, as we'll as western yew, honey locust. blue gum, sweet birch and number of others, are the equivalent of nine- tenthsl of one ton of coal.
 The following have a low heating valre. but are approximately equal to one-half a ton of coal Yellow buck eye, black cottonwood, bas wood, west ern red cedar, Alpine fir and Englemann spruce black willow, balsam fir, Sitka spruce, aspen and white spruce.

Hog Sales Days Open Well

The hos selling season has just opened in southeast Alabama and sales days are again becoming profitable and popu- lar occasions. The advantages of sell ing hogs by the sales day method are making this form of cooperation very useful to both buyer and seller. The man with few hogs has an opportunity to sell them for the market price as easily as if he had a carload
 The man with a number of hogs can sell those that arc ready for market and retain his poorer animals until they are in good market condition. These sales days also enable the farmer to soil his hogs for cash and provide ready money at time when he needs it.
 Many other advantages might be men, tioned, but the greatest and most ap- preciated point in favor of sales days is tho higher price that the farmer receives for his hogs. Sales held during the last 30 days at Ramer Evergreen, Union Springs, Ozark and Eufaula show some thing of the prices received.
 No. hogs at Banner and Evergreen brought sl7.75; at Ozark, s17.65; at Flu faula and Union Springs, SIS. These prices were paid for clean, fat hogs weighing above 165 pounds. During the same period hogs were selling in nearby towns where no sales were held at Slb and s16.50.
 At these sales the hogs are weighed and graded at the scales by disinter- ested parties, and the buyer is sure of getting hogs of the right grade and weight Buyers do not have the trou- ble and expense of collecting and feed ing hogs until they get car load; con seouently, there is every reason for the buyers paying a higher price on sales days than where hogs are brought Ill small quantities.
 Sales days have proven a great stin- ulus to hog production in southeast Ala bama, and the sales this season promise te. be even better than last year, The sntendid co-operation between the busi- ness men and farmers in making the sales days a success is to be commended Good results are to be seen in added prosperity, better livestock and increased interest in everything that tends to lm- movement of both the town and farm.

How to Make Cordwood

Methods of cutting cord wood are discussed in a circular, Emergency fuel from the farm woodland" issued by the United States department of az riculture to aid farmeds in helping to meet the fuel shortage
 The most common method of mak- ing cordwood is to cut the trees into four-foot lengths with an ax and split the larger pieces. The pieces are then piled in a standard cord, which is eight feet long, four feet high, and four feet wide. The contents are IFS cu5ic feet, of which about TO per cent isl wood and 30 per cent air. s Wood cAt four feet long can be sold to brick Yards, Hmekilns, metal working plants and other industries, but is too large for household use. This method is used chiefly where the tree grow tn is comparatively small, IS in second growth, because such wood splits easily.
 Another method, and one better adapted for old growth hard woods. which are difficult to split, Is to saw the tree into logs of convenient lengths, say from 10 to 15 feet. These are "snaked" out to the edge of the woodland and there sawed and split into lengths proper for the stove or furnace. The saving is usually done by machine driven either by gaso- line or by electricity. The wood IS piled four feet high and eight feet long, sue ha pile being called a "stove wood" or running cord or run When the wood is sawed into 16-irch lengths, as is customary with stove material. three runs are theoretically equivalent to one cord. Actually they contain somewhat more wood, since smal. pieces can be packed more close ly than larger ones.
