MASTERS OF SOIL FERTILITY
cullies Between Corn Rows Act ~
Channels Which Wash Deep and
Do Much Injury.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agrculture.)
Gullies are wasters of soil fertility.
In many corn-producing sections the
rows between the corn sometimes act
as channels which soon wash deep and
carry sway much of the best soil Of a
field. Although 1t is not a simple mat
ter to reduce these gullies, 1t is prac-
tical to attempt 1t. A successful
scheme practiced throughout the corn
belt by many farmers consists In
thrashing settings OF grain-where
grain follows corn In the crop rota-
tion-at intervals along the gully SO
that the by-product straw will be de
posted In such manner as to block
ade and prevent further soil erosion.
Even though wheat and rye straw are
valuable for bedding purposes, 1t is
advisable to sacrifice some of the lat
ter as the farmer will eliminate a ma
terial source of loss and an eyesore
from what probably is otherwise an
attractive field.

prepared by the United States Depart

Use of power machinery In prepar-
ing tirewood will reduce labor require

should be able to get his wood ready

for furnishing the power for wood-saw-

The purchase Of complete outfit, in

The 1919 corn crop is a wonderful
crop from which to select seed corn.
Over most of the. country it is well
developed, fully matured, hard and
sound-just the sort of corn that
fellow can bank on for good stand
and big yields.
But 1t takes time to select seed corn.
You are busy. Some other Job is call
ing you before you finish the one you
are at. You guess you will not take
the time to select any seed corn to
speak Of.
All right-it's your business. But
think ahead little. Imagine that 1t is
the spring of 1921 The year 1920, say,
was poor corn year. Frost came
early and nearly all Of the corn was
soft. You haven't any that is flt to
plant. The busy spring season is at
Its busiest. A score of things are call
ing to be done at once. You have to
hitch up the horse or crank the car
and start securing the country for
some man who has crib of old corn.
Probably you fail to find him and have
to wait while the county agent or
somebody "sends down South" and
gets you some hard corn to plant.
Some waste of time connected with
the process, isn't there? After you
get 1t, perhaps 1t is unadapted to your
locality and yields a poor crop OF I'M
mature corn.
Save for Two Years.
This Is one of the reasons why the
corn experts Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture urge farmers
to select out Of this years crop enough
seed corn to meet their needs for two
or three years. No farmer, particu-
larly in the northern portion OF the
United States, has time not to do 1t.
Still, the mere saving Of time is not
the only reason. BY getting two or
three years supply Of seed corn out OF
The circle banner., 1920-03-19

Il a crop like this, the farmer takes out
an insurance policy that he can con-
tinue raising variety Of corn that has
proved its merits. If he neglects this
opportunity of providing himself with
a good supply of the right kind Of seed,
| he may have to start over with va
riety that he knows nothing about, that
may not be adapted to his locality or
his land, that may bring with 1t some
disease or insect pest, and that, in
any event, he will have to experiment
with for several seasons before he
knows what it will do for him and
what he must do with it.
Where Every Day Counts.
The sowing of seed corn from crop
Of the right kind Is a matter Of impor-
tance everywhere, but more particular
ly so in the northern portion of the
country. That is where the vicissitudes
Of the seasons are most likely to bring
about soft crop. There, also, low vi
tality means the heaviest handicap.
The South, with its long-growing sea-
son, might sometimes afford corn
crop that gets away to slow start,
but in the North every day counts
from the time the corn is put in the
ground until the crop Is safely har-
vested. Anywhere, however, the saw
ing Of the right kind Of seed has q
direct and important bearing on pro-
duction.
The department of agriculture be-
lieves that every farmer can better af-
ford to take the time, however much
his labor may seem to be needed else
where, to select at least two years
supply Of seed corn from this years
crop, than to run the risk Of being
caught, spring after next, with no suit
able corn to plant, with the resultant
delay, annoyance, and actual reduc-
ton Of yield. The day or so that the
farmer puts in selecting his seed corn
will probably be the most profitable
days work he does In the whole year.

INCREASE OF DAIRY EXPORTS
figures Are of Particular Importance
as They Show Trend OF Trade
Following War.

| prepared by the United States Depart
| ment of Agriculture)
Dairy products amounting to the
equivalent of 100 pounds of milk from
every dairy COW in the United States
were exported during the year ending
June 80, 1919, according to figures just
| compiled by the United States depart-
| ment of agriculture. The exports In
clude butter, cheese, and condensed
milk, but the net exports OF those
products in terms of whole milk
amounted to 2.556695,74 pounds, or
approximately 8 per cent of all the
milk produced in the United States.
These figures indicate the possibili-
ties of developing foreign markets Tor
American dairy products. They are OF
particular Importance, as they snow
the trend of trade Immediately follow
Ing the war. Probably the greatest In
terest in an industry is that displayed
during the time between actual war
and actual peace, the specialists say,
when businesses are trying to regain
normal trade or acquire an advantage
In their special lines. During the lis
cal year 1919 the armistice was In
operation the greater part Of the time,
only the first four months-July to
November-being in the actual war pc
riod.
During the year the exports OF but
ter and condensed milk were increas-
ed, and the exports Of cheese were de-
creased when compared with 1918.
The total butter exports amounted
to 33, 3,739 800 pounds for the year. This
Is the largest amount of butter export
ed from the United States in recent
years and has been exceeded but three
times since 1850. The largest amount
on record was for the year 1880, when
100000 pounds were exported. The
cheese exports for 1919 were only 49,
1914, 1853 pounds, which is decrease OF
more than so per cent when compared
with any year from 1915 to 1918, In
elusive. The condensed milk exports
for 1919 were TBS, ,74O.509 pounds. This
is an increase over 1918 of 198,99O. At

The net exports of these dairy prod
ucts were:
