FOOD, FEED AND FORAGE
Three-F Drive is Making Headway
Among the Farmers of
Florida
agricultural News service)

Gainesville, Jan. 29.-Reports from
the leaders of the three-F drive in the
trucking sections of the state are to
tie effect that the tendency is to grow
more staple crops than in the past.
Last year some of the truckers prac-
ticed the method of growing corn
along with the tomato crop, planting
the corn when the tomatoes were
given the first cultivation. 1t proved
so successful that the acreage handl-
ed this way will be increased consid-
erably this year Not only corn, but
other crops will be grown right along
with the truck crops.
An outbreak of the flu in Gadsder,
Santa Rosa and Escambia counties
necessitated calling off all meetings
in those counties. However, much pre-
paratory work had been done in those
West Florida counties, and the farm
ers are well lined up with plans under
gay for growing an increased amount
of staple crops and livestock.

A LETTER FROM
SERGEANT EFFINGER
La Pallice, France. Dec. %.

La Pallicey France. Dec. q.
Editor Starr Have often thought
of writing you, but until now | have
never been permanently located. Just
finished up almost complete tour of
France, from lie Havre to Marseille
and then to this muddy place about
four miles from La Rochelle, and the
past week was the only one in which
/ had any work to do. Really made
trip that would cost some money If
Ihad had to pay for it. Have enjoyed
coming over here, but have had about
enough of it now and will welcome
the day when | start back.
I guess you have heard enough of
our trip across the ocean and our
short stay in England, so will not say
anything of it. Was quite tame any,
how.
The best place in all Europe is
Marseilles and it is all that you ever
heard of about France. Just wish you
could have spent the ten days there /
did. 1t really is better than Paris in
everything. Wish 1 had stayed there
when | could have, but /, wanted to
get nearer the old Atlantic coast.
Had lovely Christmas with a
goose dinner. Am checking now the
cargoes of boats being unloaded here.
The harbor holds thirteen boats, so
keep busy. Six hours on and twelve
off every day, Sunday included. Rains
every day and we wade in mud all the
time Have plenty of good food so /
must not complain. l look for this
port to close on Feb. 1st, then me for
the good old u. S. A.
Snow and l are are here, but we
do not know where any of the other
boys are. No mail has ever reached
me yet. G. w. Etinger,

To Keep Soil Productive

The farmer on Palouse lands
should not allow seeding time to
come without having hauled all a.
valuable manure upon his fields.
While the soil is frozen it is not in
jured by running manure spreader
over it, as it will when the frost is
out, and the losses caused by wash
ing are negligible. The manure
should be spread as evenly as pos
sible as it is hauled, preferably by
manure spreader. The rate of APP
plicatlon should be ten or fifteen
loads per acre.
The greatest returns this year
will probably come from the wheat
field, because of the high price of
wheat. No damage Will be done if
manure is spread on growing wheat
if the application is light. If snow
covers the ground so much the
better. Manure on top Of the snow
will help to conserve the moisture
for the crop and will prevent winter
killing by frosts.
1t is a good plan to use the man
ure IN this way upon the lightest
soils of the farm-the hills. The
low lying acres do not need fertlliz-
ing as badly as the lighter upland
soils.
1t is to be hoped no Palouse farms
will have any manure in the barn
yard when the spring opens. The
accumulations made during the
spring should be properly taken
care of by keeping them from leach
ing by sprnig rains and caves wash
es. The pile should be SO built
1 that the outer edges are higher
than the center. The rain will then
wash the soluble plant food to the
center where it will remain until
the pile is hauled.
1t has been demonstrated upon the
College Farm at Moscow that five
to seven bushels of wheat more pei
acre are to be expected where man.
ure is used upon upland soil thar
where it has not been used. That
means an increase of ten to fourteen
dollars per year. In three years
that amount can easily be doubled
Moreover, the life Of the soil is ex
tended for the use of future gener
ations.
