How About A Little Bnckwheat?

In the sections where it can be
grown buckwheat holds out more
than usual promise this year.
There are sure to be many acres
here and there which, because of
weather or shortage, will be un-
planted when it is too late to put
in oats or corn. These fields will
Just suit the buckwheat. Early
preparation of the soil and a little
available plant food to start
growth will practically insure a
good crop of buckwheat. If the
field is inclined to be weedy, all
the more reason for buckwheat.
The buckwheat grows so fast
that it soon takes the heart out
of the hardest ragweed.
Buckwheat has long been the
scapegoat of the cereal grains.
Just because it is enterprising
enough to try to grow on any old
soil it has the reputation of being
a poor-farm and poor farmers
special crop. That doesn't mean,
however, that it will not do pro-
portionally well with good treat
ment. Successful growers of
buck wheat the men who aver
age 35 to 40 bushels per acre
know that well prepared land and
a little available plantfood, such
as is supplied by 20Olor 300 pounds
of a fertilizer carrying 2 per cent.
of ammonia and 10 or II per
cent. of phosphoric acid, are nec-
essary factors to produce this
good yield. They also know
by some of the ''buckwheat farm
ers," growing buckwheat year
after year on the same land, not
even taking the trouble of plow-
ing re-seeding-for buckwheat is
30 good-natured that it will re-
seed isself-and almost never
contributing anything in the way
of manure or fert ilizer toward
the growing of that crop.

High Crop Yields.

Almost every farmer agrees
that he could raise more corn or
oats or hay or potatoes on a CIV
en- acre of land if he set out to do
80, and generally concludes his
remarks by saying that to do so
would cost him more than the in
crease would bring on the mar
ket. In order to throw some
light on this subject, Professor
Frank App of the New Jersey
Experiment Station collected data
on 1872 farms in Monmouth Coun-
ty, New Jersey. The average
crop yield of the county was rated
at 100 per cent. The income of
the farm was compared with the
average acre yield. The results
are illuminating. On farms
where the yield was Is per cent.
less than the average. the farmer
worked for nothing and paid for
the privilege in addition, and the
lower the yield the greater was
the net loss on the farm. On the
other hand, the net gain increas-
ed steadily with the gain in acre
production, even after all expen-
ses of growing the crop were de-
Quoted. The man who grew
crops one-third larger than the
average received three times as

Husband and Wife.

Under the Act of 1917,
where a husband or wife dies in
testate leaving children and a
spouse the estate is divided as
follows:
(a) If a spouse and one child
only or spouse and no children
but descendants of one deceased
child, the spouse shall be entitled
to one-half of the real and PEI :
sonal estate absolutely.
(b) Where a spouse survives
and more than one child, or one
child and descendants of another,
the surviving spouse shall be en-
titled to one third of the real and
personal estate absolutely.

contested a lawyer is necessary
and he will advise the proper pro-
cedure.

his generous and patriotic offer
