First Horses in America
We're Only Is Inches Hiqh,
Eminent Authority States

The first horse that roamed the
plains Of America was just 16 inches
high, according to Prof. Henry Fair
field Osborn, considered the most emf
nent authority on the subject. Thou
sands Of these horses grazed together,
some 100000 years ago, throughout
Americas vast West.
The first horses may have had five
toes, the professor says, but the fos-
sils of the earliest horses, found in the
Bad Lands. have but four toes. Later
the horse lost another toe, and today
he is walking on the nail of what was
once his middle toe. If the leg of the
present-day horse is dissected there
will be found two splinters of bone
above the hoof, on either side of his
leg beneath the flesh. 80
While the horse first grazed in Amer
lea. the species died out here, and our
modern horses are descended from old
world stock. The first Of them to ar
rive in America were brought to Mex
leo by the Spanish conquerors and
caused great fright to the people of
Montezuma. who thought they were
supernatural monsters.

new OATS WINNING
FAVOR IN STATE

Reports coming from growers in
many parts of the state indicate that
Pedigree Z oats are making good This
oats is selection from the Kherson
stock, rather small ID size but has
very thin hull, is high yielder and
natures from 10 days to two weeks
earlier than the common oats.
1T withstands adverse conditions,
such as extreme drought and heat and
excessive fertility" says B. D.. Leith
Of the Wisconsin Experiment station.
"better than any other variety OF oats.
It does not have such a great ten.
dency to lodge and If it does lodge
the heads fill out well,> characteristic
not found commonly in white oats.
The 1913 yield was 82.6 bushels and
the seven-year average is 1879 bushels"
This variety of oats has been dis
seminated quite widely within the last
two years. 1t has found special favor
in the sandy regions and also on the
dairy farms where fertility is usually
excessive for the best production Of
oats.

and organized cooperation among
farmers. His work in the ShebOygan
Cheese Producers Federation, OF
which he was an exceedingly active
member, will long be remembered by
his neighbors. For several years he
has been director of the state union
of the American Society of Equity,
having chosen that organization to
work out his ideals Of better farming,
better business and better living.
His Leadership Recognized.
In honor of the work Mr.. Parrish
did for his fellow farmers and be-
cause of a lifetime Of devotion to bet
tering rural life the regents Of the
university upon the recommendation
of the agricultural college faculty
awarded testimonial or certificate of
recognition. This award is extended
to few each year who are conspicu-
GUS in their efforts to better farming.
Mr.. Parrish is known throughout
the state as breeder of high-yield-
ing seeds and superior live stock.

WHO'S WHO
IN
WISCONSIN FARMING

John Oryille Parrish was born IN
1850 on the farm in Sheboygan coun-
ty on which he still lives. His devo-
lion to the old homestead is only ex-
ceeded by his single-minded service
to the cause of agricultural co-opera-
ton. A level-headed leader Of men,
Mr.. Parrish has combined in rare de
gree. the qualities Of business man,
executive, farmer, and breeder.
Studies Cooperation.
Having attended the farmers course
at the Wisconsin College Of Agricul-
ture Mr.. Parrish at once began to
spread the gospel of better agncul-
ture among his neighbors. He spent
several years in farm institute work,
but most of all he devoted his efforts
to an improvement in farm methods

STATES SOIL CLINIC
SHOWS CROP NEEDS
Locate Agricultural Service Sta
tions to Work Out Best
Cropping Methods.
BY L. r. SCHOENMANN,
Wisconsin Experiment Station.


The time has come when Wisconsin
farmers must meet the increasing cost
Of crop production with bigger and
more profitable yields.
For years the Wisconsin experiment
station has been doing experimental
work in relation to soil Improvement,
and along many other lines. In this
work the officials have for their use
the station farm at Madison and the
branch station farms at Ashland,
Marshfield, Spooner and Hancock.
From cattaiIs to Corn.
The station farm at Madison is part
~ marsh and partly well-drained up
land. 1t represents the hardest drain
age problem in the state. A large por-
ton of this marsh has been success
fully drained. 1t shows that drainage
and proper fertilizers mean the differ
ence between cattails and corn on our
marshes.
The upland soil of the station farm
at Madison is a well-drained silt loan,
and similar to the principal upland
soil in the eastern and southeastern
parts of the state The soils in this
section are suited to practically all
general farm crops, including alfalfa.
Tobacco and hemp are cash crops
which return good yields on fertile
fields.
The principal problem at Madison is
to renew the fertility in fields which
have been worn out by continuous
cropping. The experiments have
shown that the chief needs Of these
fields are phosphate fertilizers and or
ganic matter. The organic matter can
be added to the soil either as manure
or green manuring crops. In either
case the crops should be arranged IN
rotation which includes a legume.
incubation and lining are usually
necessary for success with clover and
alfalfa.
There are about 100000 acres Of
heavy red clay in Wisconsin. The
branch station at Ashland has been
located on this soil. The experiments
conducted here have shown that the
soil needs drainage, phosphate fertil-
izers and organic matter.
Ground rock phosphate with manure
gave an increasing yield over manure
alone of Al per cent for potatoes, Fl
per cent for corn, 43 per cent for
clover hay first cutting) and 30 per
cent for clover seed (second cutting,
the same year,. A rotation is recon-
mended which includes clover for hay
and green manuring to build up the or
ganic matter.
Glover, field peas, oats, barley,
wheat, timothy, mangels, rutabagas
and turnips are especially suited to
