Time to Return
to Clover Crops

II is time to get the land back into
clover. says tho department Of asri-
culture
During tho war the department I'm
pressed on the farmers the worlds
need for cereals, and the acreage In
wheat and corn was materially In
creased. This naturally resulted In
decrease in the acreage in clover
Judging from the figures gathered by
the Bureau OF Crop Estlmatss, COW
ering the production Of pure clover
hay, the acreage In this crop deoreas-
ed in 1918 below that OF 1917 about
20 per cent In the main portion Of the
clover belt. When IL Is considered
that between the census years 1899
and 1909 the acreage had already
decreased some 70 per cent In this
area, the decline in clover culture
seems to have gone % far as to
threaten to be serious.
The practice of rotating crops is
advocated by the department and all
agricultural experiment stations. OF
all the rotations the most important
is corn wheat clover, with oats In
place Of wheat where the corn occu-
pies the ground too long to permit
seeding wheat in time.
The Ohio station found that in con
tinuous culture for 20 years the yield
OF wheat fell from s.2f bushels as an
average for the first decade 10 5.7s
bushels the second, while In s-year
corn wheat clover rotation the yield
of wheat rose from a.ss bushels tho
first decade to 1918 the second. The
Indiana station found that clover in
the corn wheat clover rotation in
creased the total value Of the prod
urts over that produced when timothy
took the place OF clover by 1907 in
zone case and $3.50 in another The
Illinois station, as result OF long
series of trials, found that corn after
clover yielded twice what corn after
corn yielded and also more than corn
in the corn oats rotation. The Mis-
souri, station found that a Swear ro-
,tation with clover and timothy the
last years was financially profit
able and maintained the productivity
Of the soil. -
Some rotation should be used, and
clover should be an important ele-
rnent in the rotation. but the part!cu-
lar rotation selected must depend on
local and economic conditions. The
organic matter in the soil is used up
most rapidly when the land is In
corn or wheat. II can be replaced by
turning under crop residues. but
legumes alone can add nitrogen as
well as organic matter to the soil.
The Pennsylvania station found
that Of soils under various crops the
soil under mature clover was richest
In organic matter and in nitrogen.
followed by the soil containing clo-
yer residue or under young clover.
G. G. Williams. of the Ohio station,
said IN the Ohio Farmer: Inability
to dress cultivated land once IN s to
years with manure. or failure to
plow under n full crop Of clover or Its
equivalent as frequently. may be ex-
pected sooner or later, to bring about
conditions in which commercial nj
trcgen can be used with proht."
But can the general farmer afford
to buy commercial nitrogen when he
can get the nitrogen thru the clover
crop? This Is the question farmers
must consider now. In spite of the
high cost os,seed, farmers will he well
advised IL they DO not neglect the
clover crop.

Auto is Showing
Horse OFF Farm

Horses in this country reached
their maximum in 1913. and since
then have been gradually decreasing.
according to data compiled by tho
bureau Of crop estimates. While
this statement applies to the United
States as a whole, the information
secured by the bureau relates pri-
marily 10 the supply of horses on
farms and ranches. the gradual de-
crease of which Is attributed 10
motor vehicles.
That the decline OF the horse on
farms is not due merely to the pas
senger automobiles Is indicated by
= survey recently undertaken BY ap-
proximately $4,000 crop reporters re-
presenting the bureau in all sections
OF the country. They have reported
the names OF more than $1,000 farm
ers who use motor trucks on their
farms. But the extent TO which
these trucks displace horses is prob
lematical. In many cases the intro
duction of a truck on a farm indi-

the number Of horses used.
The estimated number OF horses
on farms and ranches January 1 OF
this year was 2l.lOs.ooc. a decrease
Of S7s. 900 head. or IL per cent, com.
pared with a year ago. The total
value OF these animals this year Is
estimated at s1,ss2542.ooo. az against
s2.lI4,ss7 900 last year. This means
an average value per head for horses
Of al! ages Of Ss4.se. compared with
$ss.i5 year ago. The average value
per head 10 years ago was Sl6s.o:.
From these figures 1t Is not diff
cult to understand why the horse
market Is regarded al unsettled ana
the future equally uncertain. The
best demand during the past year
has been in the south, while decreas-
es. have occurred on the western
rAnges. During the past two years
the increased demand for feed for
high- priced meat animals has made
il relatively more costly to keep
horse on the farm.

Hog mango is spread mainly By
direct bodily contact according to
investigations recently conducted by
the United States department oil
agriculture. The disease Is contract
ed most rapidly among hogs Of low
vitality. especially those kept In
small Enclosures. It spreads more
slowly among vigorous animals kept
in pastures or in clean, well-lishted,
roomy pens or buildings. Failure by
swine owners to control hos, mango
results IN heavy losses from shrink
