MASTERS OF SOIL FERTILITY
GuIIles Between Corn Rows Act a.

Do Much injury.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF AgricultUre.)
Gullies are MASTERS of soil fertility.
In many corn-producing sections the
rows between the corn sometimes act
as channels which soon wash deep and
carry away much of the best soil of a
field Although it is not a simple mat
ter to reduce these guIlies, it is prac-
teal TO attempt it. A successful
scheme practiced throughout the corn
belt by many farmers consists in
thrashing settings of grain-where
grain follows corn in the crop rota-
tion-at intervals along the gully so
that the by-product straw will be de-
posted in such a manner as to block
ade and prevent further soil erosion.
Even though wheat and rye straw are
valuable for bedding purposes, il is
advisable to sacrifice some of the lat
ter as the farmer will eliminate a ma
terial source of loss and an eyesore
from what probably is otherwise an
attractive field.

EXTRA FEED FAHENS CATTLE
cottonseed Cake as Supplement %
Summer Pasture Increases Mate
rally Rate Of Gains

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Feeding cottonseed cake TO steers as
q supplement to summer pasture in
creases materially the rate OF gains
made by the animals, causes them TO
finish more quickly and take on a high
er degree OF finish, and increases the
margin between the buying and selling
prices, specialists Of the United States
department Of agriculture say in Bull
letin III. just published by the depart
ment. The bulletin is a report OF ex-
periments in fattening steers on sum-
mer pasture conducted comparatively
by the department and the Alabama
experiment station IN 1912 and 1913,
and the Mississippi experiment station
In 1915 and 1915.
All the experiments were carried out
tons. Consequently the results may
be applied directly In many regions to
the management and feeding Of cattle
on pasture. In each experiment,
groups Of steers were kept on pas
ture alone; on pasture with a supple
mentary feed Of one-haif corn chop and
one-half cottonseed cake; and on pas
ture with supplementary feed Of cot
tonseed cake. The average daily gains
for each animal, which may be consid-
cred the most valuable standard in
judging the efficiency Of rations, were
Lac pounds for the steers getting pas
ture only; 1.83 pounds for the steers
getting cottonseed cake with pasture;
and LIB pounds for those on pasture
supplemented by the mixture OF cake
and corn chop.
The initial cost OF the steers per 100
pounds Of the three groups was the
same for any one year, but in each
case the steers on pasture alone sold
for q lower price. The margins be
tween the buying and selling prices of
the cattle were always in favor of
those which were fed supplements with
their pastures. The margins aver
aged less than % cents a hundred
pounds for the steers on pasture alone,
compared to 90 cents for animals
which were fed cottonseed cake with
pasture, and 811k cents for the ami
mails whose pasture was supplemented
with the mixture of cake and corn
chop. After the animals had been

WANT FRUIT SOLD FROM CARS
State Officials Declare That the Com,

Topeka.-Richard J. Hopkins, art

mission, have asked the Attorney Gen
eral of the United States and the In

the rule was made by the railroads
as an operating matter and has acted
for the benefit of the merchants and
to the great detriment of the general
public. At Harrington carload Of ap-
pies was offered for sale from the
car at $1.75 a bushel while apples of
the same grade are sold in the stores
at nearly double that amount The
sale of the apples was stopped. It il
charged that the railroads allow mer-
chants to buy apples and other foods
from cars, but in wagon load lots,
while the consumer cannot buy in
bushel lots. The Kansas officials ap-

a crop like this, the farmer takes out
an insurance policy that he can con-
tinue raising variety Of corn that has
proved its merits. If he neglects this
opportunity Of providing himself with
a good supply OF the right kind Of seed,
he may have to start over with a va
riety that he knows nothing about, that
may not be adapted to his locality or
his land. that may bring with 1t some
disease or insect pest, and that, in
any event, he will have to experiment
with for several seasons before he
knows what it will do for him and
what he must do with it.
Where Every Day Counts.
The sowing of seed corn from a crop
OF the right kind is a matter Of impor-
lance everywhere, but more particular
~ so in the northern portion Of the
country. That is where the vicissitudes
Of the seasons are most likely to bring
about soft crop. There, also, low vi
tally means the heaviest handicap.
The South, with its long growing sea-
son, might sometimes afford q corn
crop that gets away to a slow start,
but in the North every day counts
from the time the corn IS put IN the
ground until the crop is safely har-
vested. Anywhere, however, the saw
ing Of the right kind OF seed has q
direct and important bearing on pro-
duction.
The department OF agriculture be-
neves that every farmer can better af-
ford to take the time, however much
his labor may seem TO be needed else
where, to select at least two years
supply of seed corn from this years
crop, than to run the risk of being
caught, spring after next, with no suit
able corn to plant, with the resultant
delay, annoyance, and actual reduc-
ton Of yield. The day or so that the
farmer puts in selecting his seed corn
will probably be the most profitable
days work he does in the whole year.

butchered inspection showed that the
steers which were fed cottonseed cake
or a mixture Of cake and corn with
pasture dressed out higher than the
cattle which had pasture alone.
While the steers that had pasture
alone made gains cheaply, the total
gains were not large, and the steers
did not take on a high finish. Their
unfinished condition is reflected in the
small margin on which they were sold
and low dressing percentages. Thus
the profits they returned were smaller
than for the steers in the other two
groups.
The cost of gains Of steers on pas
ture is greatly increased by feeding
cottonseed cake, it was found, but the
better market price received for cake
fed cattle usually pays for the addi-
tionaI cost Of feeding cake, and re-
turns q greater average profit than
is realized on the CRASHED cattle One
Of the distinct advantages of supple
menting pastures for concentrates is
the fact that steers SO handled can be
finished more quickly and can be mar
keted earlier than steers getting grass
alone. Thus the cattle can be sold be-
fore the rush of CRASHED cattle gluts
the market and depresses prices.
Moreover, when cattle are marketed
early, the pastures have time to re-
cuperate and furnish good grazing for
other stock during the fall.
There is only one case, says the bull
1etin, when pasture alone Is prefera-
BILE to pastures with concentrates.
Steers OF inferior quality may return
more profit by grazing alone than by
grazing with the addition of supple
mentary feeds, especially when they
are on good pastures that are cheap.
Scrub steers do not respond readily
TO the use OF good feeds, and even
when well finished do not command
satisfactory prices in competition with
weIl-bred cattle similarly finished. The
better the quality Of the steers, the
safer it is to give them high-priced
feeds.

MILK AIDS EGG PRODUCTION

That milk has value as a part Of

one of the poultry demonstration farms
which are established and conducted
by Purdue university.
One farmer who had been feeding

the food value that was furnished by
the milk. Almost Immediately, how
ever, his daily egg production began.

dropped off to one-half what it had
been for the month previous. When
milk was again made a part of the
ration, the daily egg production grad
ually increased. AS a result of the
milk fed, the production the following
month was as good as in the spring
months and the extra profit made
more than paid for the milk fed.

The 1919 corn crop is a wonderful
crop from which to select seed corn.
Over most Of the country it is well
developed, fully matured, hard and
sound-just the sort of corn that a
fellow can bank on for q good stand
and big yields.
But ii takes time to select seed corn.
You are busy. Some other job is call
ing you before you finish the one you
are at. You guess you will not take
the time to select any seed corn TO
speak OF.
All right-it's your business. But
think ahead little. Imagine that it is
the spring of 1921. The year 1920, say.
was a poor corn year. Frost came
early and nearly all Of the corn was
soft. You haven't any that is fit to
plant. The Busy spring season is at
its busiest. A score OF things are call
ing to be done at once. You have to
hitch up the horse or crank the car
and start securing the country for
some man who has a crib of old corn.
Probably you fail to find him and have
to wait while the county agent or
somebody "sends down South" and
gets you some hard corn to plant.
Some waste of time connected with
the process, isn't there? After you
get it, perhaps it is unadapted to your
locality and yields a poor crop Of i'm
mature corn.
Save for Two Years.
This is one of the reasons why the
corn experts of the United States de-
partment of agriculture urge farmers
to select out of this years crop enough
seed corn to meet their needs for two
or three years. No farmer, particu-
larly in the northern portion Of the
United States, has time not 20 do it.
Still, the mere saving of time is not
the only reason. By getting two or

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.l
Use of power machinery in prepar-
ing frewood will reduce labor require
ments to a point where the farmer
should be able to get his wood ready
to burn without seriously neglecting
other WORK. A great many farmers al
ready have gasoline engines suitable
for furnishing the power for woOd-saw-
ing machines. The saving machines
themselves are comparatively mex
pensive and the labor one saves will
be sufficient to pay for it long before it
is worn out. One outfit can do the
work for several families each year.
The purchase of 8 complete outfit, in
Guiding an engine to furnish power,
may be profitable for a group of farm
ers or for one who has an opportunity
to do custom work for his neighbors.
Where the cooperative plan is not
feasible, many farmers prefer to have
their wood cut with hired outfit rath-
er than to purchase an individual rig.
The machines are sometimes hired by
the day or hour and sometimes by the
cord. In cutting poles or heavy wood
that has not been put into cordwood,
the outfit is usually hired on a time
basis. When the saw owner furnishes
the fuel for the engine and his own
time, 81 or less per hour is usually
charged In the eastern part Of the
country. If the saw is kept busy wood
can be cut at the rate of at least
two cords per hour. Thus the use of
hired machine for cutting wood win
cost the farmer less than so cents per
cord. In cutting cordwood the outfit
is often hired at fixed rate per cord.
Where the saw owner furnishes the
fuel and only his own time. the price
is usually 80 TO 80 cents per cord If
a custom rig has a great deal of saw
ing to do every year the charges for
depreciation, interest, and probable re-
pairs win be considerably less per
cord than on the individual outfit Con-
