PAYS TO MULCH AN ORCHARD
Particularly Satisfactory Means Of
Solving Soil Management and
Protects Roots.

Without doubt, a comparatively large
percentage of the commercial orchard
area of the state should be plowed
each year and the clean culture cover

employed, says V. Il. Gardner of the
University of Missouri college of agri-
culture. However, there are many or.
chards, or at least certain portions of
many orchards, planted on slopes so
steep as to render clean culture i'm
practicable on account of the danger
from washing. Such orchard areas
should be mulched artificially in order
to check the running off of the water
at times of heavy rainfall. Check evap-
Grafton from the soil at all times of the
year, and in other ways contribute to
the vegetative growth and productive
ness of the trees. Trees properly
mulched will be found much more pro-
ductive and profitable than those left

Straw, cornstalks or other similar or.

suitable to use for mulching purposes.

more or less neglected in this respect.
Attention may also be called to the
fact that the application of mulching
material now, rather than later, will
serve to protect the ground from such
deep freezing and may be the means
of considerably reducing winter injury
of the roots.

Middle West Farmers Assert
That "Hour-EarIier" Scheme
Makes Them Lose 60 Minutes

Opposition to the repetition of the
daylight saving scheme next summer
is developing in unexpected quarters,
according to reports from the local
farm bureaus in the middle West. The
farmers do not want to see the clock
turned ahead next spring. They COM
plain that the change of time makes
them lose an hours work during the
hGying and wheat harvesting season
because of the heavy dews that do not
dry in time for them to start the days
work until half-past nine o'clock in
the morning.
Under the old system it was possible
for them to begin work in the fields
at half-past eight o'clock. but under
the new scheme they cannot start until
an hour later. This. they say. causes
them the entire loss of an hour, be-
start work the hired hands insist on
quitting for the day promptly at six
O'Clock in the evening. They urge that
instead Of forcing them to lose this
hour during the most important sea-
son, it would be better for the workers
in the cities, who wish to save the hour
of daylight. to report for work an hour
early. They propose to fight a re-
enactment of the time changing law in
congress.

Immense Food Supplies for
Brave Yanks Across Seas
The Daily Stocks in Hand

Whoever goes hungry in Europe this
winter it will not be the American
soldiers, notes correspondent. The
daily stocks in hand reported by the
Quartermaster's department of the
American eXpeditionary forces gives
an idea of supplies only when it is
remembered they represent reserves
held between daily consumption and
arrivals known to be en- route. Po-
tatoeS furnish n striking example. The
stock in hand at the last report was
100000 pounds, and yet the Ameri-
can forces are receiving 10000 tons
of potatoes month, which makes co.
100000 pounds, chiefly from Ireland.
Potatoes being perishable, it would
not be wise to keep double the daily
stocks in hand. Others were as fol
lows:
Fresh beef, 16,60O.OO0 pounds !;
timed beef, 23,70O,0OO pounds; timed
bacon. 26,3OO,O0O pounds; timed sal
mon, 9,44OQOO pounds; flour. 100000
900 pounds; oatmeal, 100000 pounds !;
cornmeal. 100000 pounds; dry beans.

36.000,O00 pounds; jams. 100000
pounds; prunes, 100000 pounds;
sugar, 2S,OOO,OO0 pounds.
This list does not include other
foods running beyond Il million pounds,
like dried vegetables, syrup, bacon in
bulk, hardtack, hominy, dried and
fresh fruits, as well rs cheese, maca-
roni, butter and lard.

TIPS FOR THE \
POULTRY GROWER

That laying hens will Increase their
toned ration has been demonstrated
in Missouri this winter. And the IA
ton costs no more than some OF the
carelessly compounded ratiOns many
flocks receive. Here is the ration ex-
pressed in quantities sufficient to feed
100 hens one day:
Scratch Feed-Ten pounds shelled
corn or kafiir and . pounds thrashed
oats or barley. Feed in deep litter
morning aud evening.
Dry Mash-Threc pounds bran or 3
pounds cornmeal, 3 pounds shorts or
3 pounds ground oats, and ~ pounds
beefscrap or ! pound tankage. Three
gallons of milk may be substituted for
the beefscrap or tankage. Keep this
mash before the birds ut all times.
In addition to this feed, supply green
feed in some form, plenty of fresh
water and grit and shell.
The use of the foregoing ration has
been advocated by the extension serv-
ice of the University of Missouri col
lege of agriculture.
Ten communities have reported re-
suits for 30 days which shows per-
centage increase Of 173. This means
that all communities reporting are re-
ceivng double return in number of
eggs laid, and one community reports
that the yield has been increased sew
en-fold. This is conclusive evidence
that the ration is practical, and that a
laying hen, well fed. will respond to
pood feed
