thousands and thousands of acres that
make even less than five bushels per

Here is one Of the Souths economic
trag edies-for 1t is little less than
tragic that any man should apply $50
worth OF human labor. horse power
and fertilizer to an acre of land and
get in return less than SO. This is
worse than swapping dollars: it is

Simple Why to increase Yields.

The general appeal to farmers to in
crease their crops this year as a means
toward winning the war has called at
tentton to system of cropping in
vogue in certain portions of the United
states whore the soil as a rule is ligh,
In character. but whose fertility Is
maintained through green manuring-
the growing of such legumes as Grim
son clover. cowpeas. SOY beans. red
clover and hairy vetch BY arranging
the cropping system TO include one or
more legumes that supply the land
with nitrogen and humus, crop yields
have been greatly increased on many
farms scattered throughout this region
The farmers there who are getting
the best results from the use of ferti-
lizers. especially those who are growing
general farm crops, are maintaining a
higher percentage of organic matter in
point Of the needs OF the soil in gen
eral rather than the fertilizer require
ments OF the Individual crops.
The fertilizer practice that has
given best results on the farms of
this region follows the general plan
of applying the fertilizer to the crop
that is grown especially for soil i'm
provement. Two or three hundred
pounds OF acid phosphate. for instance.
applied TO crimson clover that is TO
be turned under for corn gives much
better returns under the average soil
conditions than the same amount ap-
piled to the corn crop directly. Many
OF the best farmers are now following
the practice by applying the fertilizer
to the legumes and grass crops that
are grown to supply the nitrogen and
organic matter necessary to the build
ing up and maintenance Of fertility in
the soil. The same holds good in the
application OF manure.
Manure applied on grass land one or
two years In advance OF the time It
is plowed for corn increases the growth

Pig CLUB WORK THIS YEAR;
IT MUST HAVE A BIG BOOST

Pig club work during 1918 will sure
get a boost over what 1T has had at
any time before. if the number of in
'quiries and requests for the booklet
relative TO club work. published by
the National Duroc Jersey Record AS
ISOLATION is any criterion. During the
past two weeks alone they have sent
out thousands of them by mail and ex-
press. the orders ranging in numbers
from just few TO as many as 1000
II looks as though the boys and girls
OF the good old l.. S. A. are going to
do their bit" toward helping feed the
Sammies over there" and the starving
nations OF Euorpe.
In an address before the boys and
girls of the Peoria County Pig Club.
recently, MIR. Checkley. who has charge
or club work In Illinois. said It was
safe to say" there were nearly 2.oO0,-
600 boys and girls throughout the
country that were interested in club
work. This is indeed interesting. for
many splendid results have been OBJ
tanned by boys and girls during the
last rev years. and in some cases they
have made dad sit up and take
notice"
What will 1t mean IL every boy and
girl that is interested successfully
reeds and raises only one pig to a
would produce about 400. 900, 900
pounds Of pork which would repre-
sent at the average market price
$64.o00.0oO. That is some business
for boys and girls to put through"
and they are being ENCOURAGED in
their work by having prizes offered
to them. Bankers and individuals are
lending them money, some supplying
them with pigs or money to buy them,
and this gives them a chance TO do
something ION their own hook" for
themselves In business-like way,
thus giving them an opportunity to ex-
perience some Of the things that they
will need to know after they have
grown older and are dependent upon
their own work and resources.

CAMPING. which enjoyed Il short-lived
boom eighteen or twenty years ago
About seven years ago an enthusiastic

decorative value of t,e real Silver
Canipine. imported and bred some
specimens of this fowl possessing real

and made many exhibits OF the fowls
