Is Soil Deterloratlng?

David r. Houston, Secretary OF Agri.
culture, has stated In substance "thst
American agriculture has steadily ad-
vanced instead of deteriorating, as some
people would have us believe" To
show that agriculture has advanced the
secretary cites the increased production
of some of our leading crops in a ten
year period from 1880 10 1890.
The secretary is undoubtedly right
about the increased yield OF crops but
this does not mean that agriculture is
not deteriorating. In the past twenty
years large progress has been made In
the methods Of agriculture. Our ma
chinery has been improved; we have
learned to handle the farm better; there
has been big improvement In the quail
ity of seed used; and the higher prices
for farm products have stimulated pro-
duction. The farmer puts forth more
effort to produce large crops when the
prices are high than when they are low.
Agriculture rests upon the fertility OF
the soil; its progress is measured by the
supply of fertility and not by improved
methods of extracting the elements of
plant food. We have found through i'm
proved machinery and rotation of crops
an opportunity to mine our soils more
effectively now than we could in the
past and thereby produce larger yields,
but we are making more rapid progress
toward deterioration in agriculture than
we ever have In the past. We doubt
whether the Department of Agriculture
has the Information necessary to indicate
that the fertility Of our land is being
improved and that there is less mining
of the soil by the farmer now than in
former years.
Every one understands that there are
many farmers in every state attempting
to enrich their acres through the pur-
chase of fertilizers, the growing of
legumes, and the returning of manure
and other waste material to the land.
There are many who have a conviction
that it Is their sacred duty to leave the
land as fertile as they found it and II
possible better. Before we can say
without fear of contradiction that Amer
ican agriculture is not deteriorating we
must have facts to show that there is
just as much fertility being returned to
the land as there is being taken away by
our crops. This is especially true Of
what is termed the essential elements Of
fertility.-Hoard's Dairyman.

Woman As q Bull -FIohter.

One would have thought that to en-
ter into combat with a bull demanded
more courage than any member Of thu
gentler sex possesses. But even this
dangerous calling has had Its female
follower, London Tit-Bits states.
johanna Maestrick was the name of
the lady in question. At an early age
she was taken to see bull fight in
Portugal Her feminine susceptibilities,
far from revolving at the spectacle.
were aroused to keen desire and de-
termination to emulate the prowess OF
the toreador. A teacher of the art was
so struck with her keenness, physique
and beauty that he offered to become
her instructor and to train her as
torera. She made her first appearance
in the arena at Oporto. The trial
proved that her agility and skill were
equal to her courage. for she quickly
laid out two ferocious bulls and rode
off in triumph amid thunders Of ap-
plauSe.

Care Of the Milk Pail.

"There Is no royal way to take proper
care of the milk pail" says Harold
Macy, bscteriologist with the Dairy
Division at University Farm, st. Paul,
Mimi. "It is a responsibility, requiring
real care and labor, that should not be
lodged"
"To-morrow morning when you finish
milking, he advises, ''rinse the pals out
with cold water, then with some hot
water and soap powder scrub them thor
oughly with good brush. Be sure that
all the corners and seams are we'll clean
ed. After that, rinse out the pals with
warm or hot water. Then scald with
boiling water or steam them If there is
some way of getting steam. When you
feel that they are absolutely clean turn
them upside down on q rack to dry
over heater or out in the sunlight
"When you are ready to milk In the
evening, you will find the pals clean,
dry, and sweet. The bacteria have bad
a very hard day of it. Handle the pals
as carefully after the evening milking.
When the fresh milk enters these pals,
it will find clean berth. In Its journey
to the factory, it should travel In cans
a. clean as the pals, for they should be
as carefully cared for. You are thus
producing better and safer milk, one
more valuable as food and as Q source OF
income"

Farm Management,

1t is only a few years since syste-
matio attempt was made to study the
several operations of the farm. Farm
ing, like other business, is made up of
various phases of endesvor. In the ear
ly years, wheat very largely formed the
crop, a little barley or oats being sowD
for sundry purposes. But now a larger
portion of our country is devoted TO
diversified farming. Farmers have
largely selected such crops as are adapt
ed TO their soil and climatic conditions.
They have not made systematic study
of the cost of producing the several
crops or the relationship which one bears
to the other or the relationship that the
animals of the farm bear to the crops
raised.
In the farm management surveys that
have been made In several states 1t was
found that some farmers devoted too
much land to pasture; some kept too
many horses; others too few COWS; In
other instances too large an acreage was
devoted to the growing Of cereal crops,
and not enough clover or alfalfa was
raised. The farmer has not given suf-
ficient attention to the balancing of the
various factors Of the farm to determine
the relationship each bears to the other.
he neglects woefully the study of the
cost of producing bis several crops which
study 10 highly desirable II he is to be
successful in bis business. No business
enterprise can succeed unless the man.
agement understands what each depart.
msnt is doing and whether it is yielding
at profit or q loss.
This is good season of the year to
take q farm inventory, to count the mum.
ber OF head of each kind Of live stock
and the amount Of machinery, tools,
forage, etc., on hand, to lay out the
springs work, and to determine what
crops are to be grown this year and why.
It is we'll to study the income that may
be expected from q definite acreage Of
corn, wheat, oats, or other crops. It is
we'll to ask what profit can be expected
from each field II the average yield Is
produced and q reasonable price received
for the crop. We appreciate some crops
are grown for the benefit Of the soil.
Very often 1t is necessary to grow cul-
tivated crop In order to destroy weeds.
Some SOW clover in order to provide not
only feed for the animals but to improve
the ply ysical condition of the land. II
is not wholly question of what crop
will bring the largest returns in a given
year but rather what crops will max Q
for q permanent system Of agricultu
and at the same time, give the largest
net return. This requires close calcula-
tion and at this season of the year 1t Is
we'll to give these matters consideration
and then start this year knowing better
than ever before how the farm is to be
operated and what returns may be ex'
pected IL average yields are to be ob
tained.-Hoard's Dairyman.

SOUTH PARIS, MAINE, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY TO- 1920
Manure and Labor.

We take the following lines from q
report in which are discussed the results
of . steer feeding test conducted by one
OF our experiment stations this past year !:
"No account is taken Of the cost Of labor, and
the straw used for bedding, the value OF manure
produced ofsetting this"
How can we expect city people to
value the labor of farmers at Its rea
worth, If our experiment stations per-
sist in measuring farm labor In terms OF
msnureP The trouble with agriculture
in the past has been that farm labor has
been measured as so much manure.
Manure has value, but 1t Is not the
proper medium of exchange by which
farmers may be paid for their labor In
feeding dairy COWS or steers. Strange,
isn't it, that some Of our stations place
no value upon managerial direction, or
on skill in feeding, or give risk no con-
sideration in the operation?
Some Of the feeders right now are dis
covering that the entire manure item
will need to be included in hog receipts
and there will remain still large deficit
from feeding operations. Steer feeders
everywhere during the past summer and
fall found nothing left over In the way
of manure to pay for labor, even when
full value for manure was included:
there was not enough left after cost had
been paid to cover half the items OF ex-
pense. Steer feeders in many instances
were not only out of pocket for feed, but
got nothing in return on their perma-
nent investment, labor or for their pains
in management. The trouble is, these
tests are sent broadcast throughout the
land, are garbled by the daily press 80
that the profits seem big, and consumers
conclude that farmers are reaping in
wealth.
If there is any agency on earth which
ought to include all items Of cost 10 pro
duciDg any food product 1t is the expert
ment station. Untold harm ia done to
farmers by this thoughtless and reckless
use of words in printing articles or bull
letins. The time has come to call halt
on such loose writing. Farmers will NO
longer work for payments in manure.
The animal feeder henceforth will de-
mand more than mere meeting of actual
money outlay. Manure will not dis
charge, will not offset the value of skill
ed labor. Broad experience in feeding,
the actual labor expenditures, the usual
risks that accompany every feeding
operation, must all be included in cost
accounting. 1t is unfair to the farmer
longer to continue this valuation OF farm
labor as an offset of manure.
Our colleges and stations should be
the first to wipe out this iniquity. Un-
some still persist in spread
ing these silly obsolete fairy tsles.-New
