READING CIRCLES TO
ASSIST The FARMER
Prejudice Against "Book Farm
ing" Fast Losing Ground.
West Virginia Clubs Devote the Win
ter Months to Definite Study Of
Some of More Difficult
Farm Problems.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture.)
Recent reports from the West Vir-
ginia extension service indicate that
any prejudice against ''book farming
which exists is fast losing ground in
that state where last year 80 farmers
clubs with a membership of more than
I,600 farmers devoted the winter
months to a definite study of some OF
their more difficult farm problems at
reading circles held regularly through
out the season. These winter reading
circles are becoming more popular in
the state and fully 100 clubs with a
membership OF at least $500 farmers
are pursuing some one of the several
reading courses offered by the state
extension department this year. The
county agents are very active in this
work, organizing farm bureaus and
local community clubs and stimulating
greater interest in the reading circles
in their localities. Subjects such as
soil fertility, farm crops, animal hus-
bandry, horticulture, and farm man
agement are being studied.

A more general culture of fruits in
gardens and in home orchards will
contribute substantially to the health
and pleasure Of the family besides
furnishing a supply Of valuable food
products at a relatively small outlay
of money, pOmOlogists OF the United
States department of agriculture say
In many localities it is difficult to pur-
chase suitable fruit, and this is an
added reason for its home production
wherever possible.
The ideal fruit or home orchard
should contain several varieties of
different kinds of fruit, each kind
represented in many cases by a con-
siderable number Of varieties ripening
one after another over a long period
Large yields, good shipping quality
and attractive appearance all may be
made secondary to high dessert quail
ity or special excellence for cooking
purposes.
Throughout much of the country the
same garden may grow apples, pears,
peaches, plums, cherries, ounces,
Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries,
dewberries, currants, gooseberrfes and
grapes. In the colder northern sections
the winters are too severe for peaches,
while in the warmer parts apples, cur
rants, gOOseberries and certain Varie-
ties of several of the other fruits fail
because they are not adapted to the
long, hot summers and mild winters.
Economizing Space
1t is possible to plant between apple
trees, when set 81 feet apart, smaller
growing trees, such as the peach or
plum, placing one between each two
trees in a row, as well as planting a
row between rows of apple trees. This
is temporary arrangement, however,
since the apple trees eventually will
need all the space, and before crowd
ing begins the interplanted trees
should be removed.
Currants and gooseberries commonly

do better, especially in the southern
limits of their range, if grown where
there is partial shade. This some
times can be provided by planting
them between fruit trees. Raspber-
ries and blackberries are sometimes
planted between trees, but the prac-
tice is not advisable unless the soil is
naturally moist and fertile. Vege-
tables, as well as strawberries, also
may be grown between the rows if the
trees are small and do not shade the
ground very much
Locating the Orchard.
The land on which the fruits are
planted, other things being equal,
should be convenient to the house. 1t
should be well drained, since fruit
trees will not thrive on poorly drained
soil. The air drainage also must be
good, and for this reason low levels
where cold air settles should be
avoided Most fruits can be grown on
great variety OF soils, but where pos
sible it is better to avoid light, sandy
soils and heavy clays.
Good nursery stock of suitable kinds
and varieties is fundamental to sue
OSoS Ii 1Iu1I - SOOu
system is essential. A tree or bush,
as a rule, should have several main
roots and many smaller ones when re-
ceived from the nursery. A medium
sized tree or plant for the variety is
usually preferable to a very large or
understood one. Apples, pears,
ounces, pIums and cherries are best
suited for home orchard planting after
they have grown in the nursery for
two seasons. Peach trees should al
ways be planted after growing in the
nursery one season.
In the North fruits are usually
planted in spring as early as the soil
can be put in suitable condition. In
middle ATTITUDES and in the South au-
tumn planting is widely practiced,
while in some parts of the extreme
South planting may be done at almost
any time during the winter.

LOSS FROM EROSION
IN UNITED STATES
Trouble Occurs in Every State in
the Union.
Terraeing Is the Most Effective Meth
Cd of Stopping Washing Away of
SoiI-Other Means That
May Be Employed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Soil erosion, or the washing away
Of earth by water, costs the farmers
of the United States 81, 100000 every
year. Soil losses from this cause occur
in every state of the Union and in al
most every county of every state. Nine
years ago the National Conservation
congress reported that 100000 acres
of farm land had been practically
ruined by soil erosion.
Terracing is the most effective
method of stopping erosion. Other
means that should be employed in con-
nectiOn with terracing are deep plow-
ing, growing cover crops, blowing I'M
der organic matter, contour blowing,
and undertaking.
Since erosion is due largely TO the
rapid movement of the rain water
over the surface Of the ground, meth
DDS of preventing erosion must cause
the water either to sink into the soil or
drainage channel. If the rain water
were absorbed by the soil as fast as it
falls, there would be very little ero-
sion.
rapidly soil must be very permeable,
which means that it must contain fair
~ large open spaces through which
the rain water can pass easily, or
where it can be stored temporarily.
Some soils are naturally very perme-
able. A number of ways of increasing
the permeability of a soil are deep
blowing, blowing under organic matter
such as manure, stubble, stalks and
cover crops; the practice of tile drain
age and. in certain soils, the use of
explosives.
Vegetation covering the surface of
the ground protects the soil from the
direct action of the rain and checks
the flow of the water over the sur
face. giving the soil a better oppor-
tunity to absorb the water. It is there
fore important that some kind OF
cover crop, such as veteh, clover, oats,
wheat or rye, be grown on the land
during the winter or at any time that
the land is not used for other crops.

news ITEMS FROM
ALL OVER KANSAS
Happenings of More or Less
Interest Gathered From
Many Sources.
SHORTAGE OF GRAIN IN STATE
Barely 4 Per Cent of Last Years
Large Crop of Wheat Re
mains on Farms.

Stocks Of grain in Kansas farmers
hands on March 1 were generally the
smallest on any similar date in the
last ten years, according to estimates
released by Edward c. Paxton, field
agent for the bureau of crop estimates.
Of the 102 million bushels of wheat
produced in the state last year only
4 per cent, or 4,080,000 bushels, are
now estimated as remaining on the
farms where produced. The same
date last year saw 3,675,OOO bushels
Of crop less than half as large still
in farmers hands.
There has been no incentive to
hold back the wheat; the price was
the same, regardless of date of mar
ket," said the report. "Millers looked
with alarm at the early pouring of
the 1913 Kansas wheat crop into East
ern terminals. 1t has been difficult,
and in some cases impossible, for
Kansas mills to keep in operation, ow-
ing to recent scarcity of milling
wheat. In few instances have mills
been running at full capacity
only 6,964,O0 bushels, or Is per
cent, of last years Kansas corn crop
now remains in formers hands. This
is by all odds the smallest amount
since March, 1914, following the
drought crop of 1913, when only l.
100000 was left on March 1. Many
sections of the state have been ship
ping in corn all winter. 1t is estima-
ted that only per cent of the 1918
Kansas corn crop has moved out of
the county of production.
Fourteen million, three hundred
and forty-seven thousand bushels, or
% per cent, of Kansas 1918 produc-
ton of 51,233, 900 bushels of oats still
remain in the farmers bins
Farm holdings of barley are esti-
mated at 100000 bushels, or % per
cent of the 1913 production. This is
only $4,000 bushels less than the nine
year average"
