the balance has all been brushed and

to stump and pillow. These four acres
will be brushed and seeded in the

the more land a man on a new farm
keeps seeded down. the faster he can
get his whole farm to producing. He
is milking seven COWS and has two

keeps good team Of 1300-pOmd horses

can do it but it does not look like Il

hut the Iowa man does not like to milk

the same price as here. but little hay
is raised in that country.
MI Fisher states that he has tray
elcd through southern Minnesota,
Iowa. Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, and
there are bumper corn crops i'll all of
those states. The grain system is
drawing constantly on the fertility. He
tells of poor 40-acre piece Of sandy
land near Cedar Rapids, Iowa, that
was literally manured and produced
around SO bushels Of corn per acre,
this year. when formerly 10 bushels
per acre was all they could get. Mr..
Fisher says farmers are better off in

Of their own than they are any place

LAND CLEARING QUESTIONS

These questions are being answered

q. Where can | get a bar like the
one used at the demonstrations to make
holes under my stumps?
A. Consult the director of land
clearing or your county agent Your
blacksmith should be able TO make Il
good bar out Of a piece Of 1a-inch cold
rolled steel shafting. Have him place
a 6-inch point and 6-inch tOpFOf true
tool steel tempered to stand battering
and striking rocks without chipping or
fattening The bar should be about
~ feet long.
O. Can 20 per cent dynamite be
used fer ditching?
A. Yes if the ground is not too
mucky. However, it is better under
nearly all conditions TO use 40 per cent
or 90 per cent. as 20 per cent is rather
slow for this work.
g. How much do cap crimperS cost
and where can you get them!
/ A. Consult your nearest dealer
handling dynamite. He should be able
to supply you. If he does not have
them see your land clearing director
or county agent.
Q. How is the best way to thaw
dynamite?
Y Small Quantities of frozen or
chilled dynamite wrapped in Il paper
and placed in fresh manure pile for
twelve or fourteen hours will be nicely
thaWed out. Larger quantities should
be thaWed in a home made thawer.
Write the College Of Agriculture, Mad

tons to make same. Never thaw dy-
