Oats that are to be harvested for
grain should be given an application
of IS to $50 pounds of nitrate of soda
right away Exception land that has
had an application of manure. or has
had heavy crop of peas. velvet beans
or beggarweed turned under. it will
pay well. Mash the nitrate into small
particles and apply broadcast, using
a smoothing harrow to work into the
soil. The soda needs to come in touch
with moisture before the plants can
get it. Put on just ahead or imme-
diately following a rain. the harrow
ing will not be necessary for working
it in. However. it is a good plan to
run the harrow over the oats to loosen
the soil so as to let the air in and to
save moisture.

HANDLING THE FARM LABOR SIT
UATION

nc Ls1lAi idbOi ~ one OF the per-
picking problems that threaten to in.
.terfere with the 1920 crop. So many
people, enticed by high wages, have
left the farms for the cities that a re,
duced farm production is threatened.
Farm labor, like every other labor, is
asking for shorter hours. which means
less to be accomplished in a week or
a days time. In the course of time
much of this unrest will adjust itself,
but for the present and for this year
crop the farmers have a troublesome
labor problem to contend with.
| Good prices for all staple crops
seem likely for a number of years, so
that there is much inducement to
make the additional effort to produce
the crop. Even under present condi.
tions, it is not uncommon to see a
farm laborer receiving two to three
dollars per day, plGeling with one
horse or mule in large field. On
i'other farms one can see one man driv,
ing three or four mules and blowing
three or four burrows. The size CT
farm will determine pretty largely 60
what extent the farmer can afford to
buy improved machinery to overcome
the one-man, one mule farm operation
but under present conditions it seems
practically impossible FOR the old me-
thod of putting in crop to prevail
and the farmer to come out with a
profit. In the light of things it would
m that one of the quickest rene
u'9s is to use labor-saving machinery
I One man can do four times as much
work with two mules as with one, and
several times as much work with a
tractor az With a pair of mules. The
work, too, ian be done better and in a
lin the end are even greater.
The .,losphate mines that had clos.
ed du- ing the war period are now
opening up, and lam told that these
mines have equipped themselves with
the latest and best machinery, which
has eliminated rs per cent of the com
mon labor formerly employed.
A farm who is equipped with up-to,
date machinery, such as modern plows
and cu..ivators, will be able to grow
the usual acreages of crops with a
third the labor formerly employed.
The crop will be planted in better
prepared soil; it is likely to receive
more prompt cultivation; and the re.
turns per acre will be better than

Safe farming is more important this
year than ever before The food prob
lem is the biggest problem before the
world and no one knows what the flu
ture holds. Speculation in farming
will therefore. be very unwise Di-
versifieation and a safe program
should be followed. This consists in
producing as nearly as possible all
the food and feed for the family and
livestock. with little surplus for sale;
and then producing some truck, field
or livestock crop for the main source
of income This kind of farming,
coupled with cropping system which
will maintain and build up soil fertil-
ity, is the safest and best that any one
can do and will usually prove the most
profitable While extremely good for
1920. it is to be recommended for any

TESTING ROADS FOR HEAVY
TRAVEL

State highway departments are
vitality interested in the successful
outcome of comprehensive expert
ments and tests now being made by
the Bureau of Public Roads of the
United States Department of AgricuI
ture. One State engineer recently de-
cleared that millions of dollars in his
State are involved in the proper de-
sign of road surface, which makes up
one of the problems being Investigate
ed by the Federal engineers.
The coming into general use of the
heavy motor truck has practically re.
volutionized the science of road build
ing. Big new problems came when
loads weighing 10 to Is tons took the
place of vehicles that placed weight
one-fourth as much or less The roads
built 10 years ago were constructed
before this fact could be realized
which is one of the reasons why
many permanent roads have proved
to be impermanent
