COVER CROP ON CORN
LAND GAINING FAVOR

The sowing of cover crop of rye
and vetch on corn land to be replanted
to corn is being done this fall more
than ever, particularly in the rolling
and billy sections of Ohio. The seed
for this crop may be sown as soon
as the corn is cut. A satisfactory
mixture consists of five pecks of rye
and two pecks of vetch, sown the
same as wheat at the rate of six
pecks to the acre.
- While the price of vetch seed is
pretty high, enough seed will be pro-
duced on a small acreage in one sea-
son to enable the farmer to employ
this practice on a more extensive
scale the following year, with a rela-
lively small outlay. If the crop is
allowed to mature, upward of 20
bushels per acre Of the mixture can
be obtained. The vetch should be in
oculated if sown on ground on which
it has not been grown before. The
cover crop not only prevents washing
but adds nitrogen and organic matter
tothe soil and may be pastured in the
spring.

HOMEGROWN FEEDS
CHEAPER FOR DAIRYMEN

That dairy farmers should make
more use of home grown feeds during
the period of high-priced products is
pointed out by the department of
dairying at the Ohio Experiment Sta
tion after a number of feeding tests
with dairy cattle. 1t is shown that in
some cases farmers market their oats
at approximately 10 cents a bushels
and buy ground oats in mixed feed
again at much higher price, with
additional labor requirements in haul
ing and handling. Farmers having a
supply Of oats and corn can mix their
own rations for dairy cattle at least
81 per hundred pounds cheaper and
with probably better results, it is
shown. A special circular is issued by
the Experiment Station, Wooster, on
the home-mixing of feeds for dairy
cattle.

TIMBER LOSS ALARMS

Forestry Conference, which has been
called for October 1928 at Indian
apolis. Ohio forestry men are Coop

Indiana and Illinois in the meeting be-
cause the rapidly growing shortage of
timber is source of concern to thou
sands of industrial concerns who are
steady users Of wood.
The features of the timber prob
lens of the three states are similar
and interlocking, and it is for this
reason that the three states have been
grouped for the conference, according
to Edmund Secrest, Forester at the
Ohio Experiment Station. Efforts will
be made to determine the character of
Legislation which will tend to provide
for future timber supplies, according
to Mr.. Secrest.
Forestry authorities from New
York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut
have been asked to speak at the
meeting.

CAN'T GET CANARY" IN
COUNTY CLERKS OFFICE

1t was gently but decisively settled
once and for all on Monday of this
week that one can't get Canary
whatever that is-in the county clerks
Office. The ban was laid down when
Ray Thomas of Wadsworth, appeared
before the clerk and demanded that
the latter return some alimony money
which the court decreed Thomas
should pay his wife.
1t seems that couple Of months
ago Mabel Thomas filed her petition
for divorce from this same Ray
Thomas, charging neglect of duty,
failure to provide, cruelty and what
not, and asked the court to grant her
temporary alimony for the support of
herself and three minor children,
pending the final divorce action. This
was granted and the amount to be
paid was fixed by the judge at $I2
per week.
Thomas had made six payments in
complying with the courts instructions
but this week Mrs. Thomas, according
to her husbands statement, packed
her baggage and flew the coop with
another man, leaving the children, two
of whom are twins about year and a
half old, to the mercy Of neighbors.
Thomas was notified and Immediately
took charge of the children and pro-
ceeded post haste to the county

paid. When told that the money would
have to repose in the clerks care un-
til the court took the matter under
consideration, Thomas went up in the

Clerk Frazier warned the visitor not
to get canary, which, while We don't
know exactly what Il means, had the
desired quieting effect.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS

secured by handling separate lots of
seed corn over number of years, III
which practically every method of
caring for seed corn was tested,
whether good or bad.
Seed corn dried out with artificial
heat and stored carefully proved to
be superior to that picked from the
crib, buried in oats, piled in heap or
left in an unventilated place when
drying. The seed from each lot of
corn dried under different circum-
stances is planted each year at the
Station to find out what the actual
yield might be. The artifcially dried
corn has given 4 bushels more than
any other method of curing.

Farmers may expect at least four
bushels more corn to the acre from
seed that is carefully dried out in the
fall than from seed picked from the
crib in the spring according to agron-
omists at the Ohio Experiment Sta

amount to an increase Of almost $100

SOIL FROM

About Statue of Liberty

Here is a striking instance of thrift
manifesting itself in poetical justice.
The tiny island in New York harbOr
on which stands Bartholdi's Statue of
Liberty is being enlarged. The soil
used for filling-in purposes comes
from France. It is the debris from
the trenches, military railway lines,
warehouses and wharves. It was
brought to America as ballast for the
transports that carried our mighty le-
gions of liberty. to France. g..
. Thus is mingled the soil Of the two
republics as a setting for the worlds
most typical symbol of liberty, just as
the bodies of thousands of American
sons are today mingled with the soil
of France under the crosses where
they lie. In this humble yet beautiful
demonstration of the kindred ideals
Of the two nations, American thrift,
which did SO much to make victory
possible, was the underlying impulse.

FOR POULTRY
GROWERS

The farmers of the United States
lose each year large sums because Of
improper methods Of producing and
handling eggs. One-third of this loss
is easily preventable. 1t is due to the
partial Matching of fertile eggs, &C.
cording to the United States depart
ment of agriculture. -.
The eggs laid by q hen may be
either fertile or infertile, depending
on whether or not the male bird has
been allowed to run with the female.
A fertile egg is one in which the germ
has been fertilized by the male bird.
Except for this process of fertilization
the male bird has no influence upon
the eggs which the hens lay. Egg pro-
duction is equally great In focks from
which ROSTERS are excluded.
A fertile egg does not keep as well
as an infertile one because the fertil-
lied germ responds more readily to
high temperatures than the upfertil-
lied one. It is impossible to hatch an
infertile egg or to cause blood ring
to form in one. Such eggs are much
more likely to reach the table in good
condition and there is less spoilage
in shipments composed entirely of
them than in mixed shipments of fer
tile and infertile. eggs. n -
