FARM WAGE INCREASES.

Statistics gathered by government agencies indicate that farm laborers are obtaining a. more rapid rate of increase in their income than are the farmers who hire them. In the year of 1919, for example, the farm value of crops increased over the previous year but 11.S per cent. and the value of animal products but 9.9 per cent, while farm help hired by the month obtained wage increases of If per cent. in the case of those who were supplied board and 15.3 per cent for those who boarded elsewhere. Day wages in the harvest season increas- ed by 1S.9 per cent.
 Present indications are that the figures for 1920 will show much higher rate of increase for farm la . Dor. Many farmers report inability to get help at any price and in manu- featuring districts farm wages have had to keep pace with those paid by the factories.
 For labor hired by the month, with board included, the average for the United States during 1919 was s39.S2 Wages were lowest in the southern states and highest in the Pacific northwest. Wages in New England and all northeastern states were above the average for the nation.

obtain a stand of clover is to SOW it with a drill alone, on especially pre- pared ground. Special clover or al- falfa drills are now available, and when Q sufficient acreage is being grown to justify their purchase the use of these implements is to be rec commended. On smaller areas regu- lar grain drill can be used if pro- vided with spouts leading from the grass seed box back of the. shoes or disks. On most soils a better cover ing of the seed is obtained if the drill is equipped with chain seed coverers, as these leave a fiat furrow. Unless the soil is iii a mellow condition a shallow seed bed must be prepared for the drill.
 When drill is not available the seed can be scattered with a rotary seeder, wheelbarrow seeder, or by hand. The ground, however, must be in fine mellow condition, which means that seeding must be delayed twice with spike-tooth harrow. When seeded in this way the seed must be covered, usually with q spike tooth harrow, but sometimes with a heavy brush drag. One-half inch in clay soils and an inch in lighter soils is about the proper depth of planting. If the clover is being seeded in grain the seed bed may be prepared as above and the seed GOV cred without injury to the grain, the teeth of the harrow being slanted slightly backward and the harrow run at right angles or diagonally to the rows of grain rather than parallel with them.

sEEp CORN WARNING.

Most farmers have a vivid remem- brance of the condition of their seed corn in the spring of 1918. Germina- ition tests of corn entered in various county corn shows this winter, indi- cate the condition of seed corn to be almost as poor this year according to Henry Dorsey of the Agronomy De- partment at Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs. Examinations are ranging from 30 to S5 per cent. with an average of about 55 to 50 per cent. Since these entries are more or less carefully selected, they are likely bet ter than great deal of the seed that will be taken from the corn cribs for planting.
 In the light of present indications it would seem foolhardy for any farmer to plant corn without a thorough ger- imitation test first being made. By a thorough test is meant an individual ear test, so made that each ear which fails to give a perfect test may be discarded. Such a test can easily be made by the use of the rag doll" but a box of sand, or of sawdust, is an efficient germinator The desira- ble thing is to test the ears of corn so that only live seed may be plant ed. To this end any means may be used that is at all convenient on the farm.
 Whatever method of testing is used three things are to be remembered and provided. First, the temperature must not run so low as to injure the young seeding before it bursts from the kernel of corn. For safety the temperature should not fall below 5C to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. This con dition may be met in most farm houses by seeing that there is slow fire over night in the room where the test is being made.
 Second-Water is necessary to ger imitation and must be provided IT the beginning of the test a thorough soaking of the cloth, sand or sawdust is essential. Afterward the germina tor should be kept moist, but not sat urated
 Th.rd-Air is necessary in order that growth may take place.
 All three things-air, warmth and i water must be provided. A good seet l bed provides the three conditions. 4 good germinator therefore, artificial
 ly supplants the seed bed, except tha food material may be absent, because it is present in the corn grain in sui l ficient quantity to germinate the corr

FOOT DISEASES IN SHEEP
 SHOULD GET ATTENTION
By P. e. HOLDEN.

Sheep that are compelled to stay in muddy yards or in low, swampy pastures are almost sure to have sore feet. Foot troubles are given differ ent names, such as foot scala" ''hoof ail." foul foot" and foot rot" but all mean the same.
 It serves the practical sheep man to treat foot diseases as contagious and needful of prompt attention.
 The first symptoms are lameness and on examination the foot is found to be feverfsh and the skin in the cleft of the hoof red and swollen Soon matter or pus forms in the cleft, and in a short time, if left unchecked the disease gets under the skin and spreads under the entire horn or wall. Blow flies lay eggs in the dis eased hoofs during the summer months. The maggots spread from the foot to the wool, finally killing the sheep if left unchecked.
 The thing for the farmer to do as soon as he discovers the lame sheep is to get busy and stop the trouble before it reaches the advanced chron- ic stage. If the outbreak occurs in winter or spring the first thing is to provide dry quarters if possible. If it happens in summer put the sheep on the driest pasture obtainable until cured.
 If there are but few sheep on the farm they can be caught and each foot treated separately. Treatment | consists of cleaning all mud and filth | from between the toes and applying something that will cure. In practi- l cal experiences nothing has proven

HORSES IN CONNECTICUT.

Horses have been disappearing from the farms and streets of Con- necticut at the rate of about one thousand each year. Government es- inmates under date of January 1 of this year credit the state with 43,O0o horses. The number was 44,000 in 1919, 45,o00 in 1918 and 46,o00 in 1917.
 The value per head of these anil mals has steadily increased as the total number has decreased. The av- craze value of horses in Connecticut on January 1 of this year was $165. In 1917. the average value was only $147.
 Records in the offices of the motor vehicles department at the state capi- toI indicate that the decline in num- Der of horses has more than been met by increase in the number of automobiles and trucks. To some extent farm tractors have supplant- ed horses in the state but the number of tractors is not yet large.

RIGHT PLANTING IS
 ESSENTIAL FOR CLOVER

The great hindrance to an extensive planting of clover this year is the price of seed, which has advanced to the unprecedented figure of 50 cents a pound wholesale for the best grade. High prices, however, shoud not stop the planting of clover and the return to proved rotations, but should serve simply as an additional reason for sowing the seed with the greatest care, according to United States De- partment of Agriculture specialists.
 Glover should not be planted at all unless it is planted right. Scattering expensive clover seed on poorly pre- pared ground is the poorest economy The crop should be provided with a seed bed which is firm, moist and fine and the quality of the seed should be of the best. If the land is "sour" it should be lined for red and sweet clover.

HE soLp THE sLAcKERs.

A North Stonington, Conn, poultry man who entered his flock in the home egg laying contest, conducted by the Connecticut Agricultural Col lege Extension Service, became in- terested in the directions for culling out non-laying hens. After going over his flock carefully he found that near ly half of them failed to show indi- cations of profitable laying. He sold the unprofitable hens.
 T think the home egg laying con- test is doing more to stimulate egg production and interest in poultry keeping generally than any other ef- fort of the college that has come to my attention" writes this poultry farmer to Roy E. Jones of Storrs. The contest gives poultrymen chance to check up their results by the records of other poultrymen in the state. The records promise to establish stand ards of just what should be expected of flock of hens each month in the year.

WHAT THE SOIL NEEDS MOST.

e Nitrogen (ammonia) encourages strong leaf, vine and bush growth. Potash makes firm tuber, bulb and fiber. Phosphoric acid makes blooms "set" and seeds and pods form abun- dantly.
 If the wild growth on the farm is profuse and the tomato and melon vines run to leaf, the soil is rich in nitrogen. If trees do not thrive. on- ions seem soggy and tomato vines lack sturdiness of stalk, the soil needs potash. If the tomatoes, melons and grain fail to "set" plenty of seed and fruit, phosphoric acid is needed.
 If one expects to take from the land crop rich in leaf as lettuce, in crease the proportion of nitrogen in the fertilizer. If potatoes or onions are desired, provide plenty of potash If abundant corn, wheat, melons peaches, strawberries or tomatoes are wanted, see to the phosphoric acid.
 Phosphorus is an element that is essential to plant life. The garden could not exist without it. Scientists have always wondered where the phosphorus came from which is sup piled to plant life in the country. There is no danger of our nitrogen or potash giving out, because we know there are methods by whicl both are being continually added tc the soil
 Science has now developed the the ory that the phosphorus supplied te plant life is given directly through the earthworm. Experiments have shown that the mode of existence and habits of the earthworm are highly beneficial to garden soil owing to the fact that from it's body comes the supply of phosphorus. Hence, gard eners should welcome earthworms te their garden.
 As Is perhaps known, manure wher stacked in the yard with no coyerine over it, loses it's greatest quality plant food, by washing of rains and exposure. On the other hand, if stor. 1 ed under shed or protected, it will steam and heat, thus losing another most important factor, nitrogen. The ! average gardener is in the habit o1 storing the manure in the open air
 put better plan is to pile it in un. der roof of some sort and tramp i down tight in order that no air ma, | penetrate through it to drive out tht valuable nitrogen. There is a sufi
 clent quantity of plant food and nj
 trogen in fresh manure, and the gar
 den should be well treated with it For good vegetables there must b. i good soil.
