,How Farm Labor
is Being Saued

to so per cent more than with q sin
gle bottom plow. One man with
twenty eight inch pillow drawn by
tractor covers from 80 to IS per cont

man using six horses or horse
drawn pillow Of the same size. A
three bottom plow drawn by a suit
able tractor enables one man to ac-
compiish from so to 10 per cent more
than does the wo-bottom plow
drawn by six horses.
These facts were brought out by
about 900 replies to an inquiry ad-
dressed to farmers IN central Illinois
by the office Of farm management,
United States department Of agricul-
ture. Under conditions where the
use Of a two-row corn cultivator is
practicable, this machine enables one
man to cover nearly twice as much
ground per day as with a one-row
cultivator. In the section represented
by replies received by the depart~
ment. three horses are most COM
monty used on the two-row cultiva-
tor and the addition OF fourth
horse apparently increases but little
the amount Of ground covered per
day.
Such Of these farmers as use corn
binders have found the use Of this
machine increases the efficiency Of
man labor 50 per cent. on the ave-
rage, over that achieved when cut
ting and shocking by hand. Eighty
bushels, the reports how. is an aver
age days work for one man when
husking corn from the standing stalk
by hand.
With respect to the value Of hay
loader, they learned that the use OF
this implement reduces by about %
per cent the time required to put on
load of hay, while the amount OF
labor required for unloading into the
NOV is only a little more than half
as great when a hayfork Is used as
when the work is done by. hand.

Beans require an abundance OF
heat and should not be planted until
the ground Is warm and the danger
of frost Is past. 1t pays. however. to
make one rather early planting OF
snap beans, timing the planting so
that the. plants will come up just
after the last frost. say garden spe-
ciaIists Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Garden beans may be divided into
three classes: first, those used as
string or snap beans; second. those
grown to maturity and used as dry
beans; and lima beans. The string
beans are of both the bunch and
climbing habit of growth. AS a rule
growing in a small garden. altho
the climbers can often be grown up
on division fence to advantage.
For the production OF dry beans
seed should not be placed in the
ground until most OF the garden
crops have been planted. Turnout
the southern states this class OF
beans. including the little, round
bean known as the navy bean, the
red and, white kidney beans, and
several varities OF Mexican and
Chile beans, may be planted as late
as June or even July.
Lima beans may be divided into
two groups. the bunch and the climb
ers. Where supports can not be pro-
vided. plant the bunch type Of lima
bean. In the south, those varieties
having the smaller beans do best. The
rows of bunch llmas should be at
least three feet apart and the hills
IS inches to two feet apart In the
row, five beans being planted 10
the hill and three plants allowed to
stand. Pole limas should be planted
i'll nils three feet ar:-. !: enc :!
rection and four feet In the other.
Plenty Of fertilizer should be used
around the hills, and Ave or six
beans planted 10 each hill. After
the plants are established, they
should be thinned two to three plants
70 the hill.
Lima beans should always be plant
Cd with the eye downward and COW
cred rather lightly. In light sandy soil
the covering may be as much as an
inch and half. but on heavier soil
thes covering should not be more
than one-hal inch over the top OF
the bean. Pole limas will need a little
training to get them started up the
poles. Remember they climb in one
direction around the pole only; that is
opposite to the sun. All lima beans
that rpen may be saved either for
planting ncxt year or for use as dry
beams during the winter.

Five or six hills of summg

each direction will produce enough
young tender squashes for the aver
age family. Summer squashes re-
quire plenty OF heat and should not
be planted until the ground Is rea-
sonably warm. II possible the hills

covering one half-inch deep. When
the plants are up, thin to three or
four.
Young squash seedlings arc some
times attacked by the striped cucum-
Der beetle. but II Is an easy matted
to protect q few hills by covering
each one with a small piece Of wire
fly screen. After the plants are ten
days or two weeks old, this type Of
beetle does not bother them. Sum
mer squashes should always be used
when young. while the skin is so
tender that it can yet be punctured
with the fingernail. other varieties
Of squashes adapted for garden
growing are the Hubbard and Boston
Marrow, These are especially good
for baking, and may be kept we'll into
the winter.
Cucumbers should be planted and
handled In the same manner as the
squashes. except that the hills should
be little farther apart. Two or
three hills will furnish enough Gu
cumbers for the average family, I'M
less larger supply is desired for
pickles.
Muskmelons require plenty OF
space. and 30 should only be planted
in the large garden. Ten hills OF
Rock Ford muskmelons. spaced five
feet apart in each direction. will gen.
orally supply muskmelons for the av-
erage family. However. their sea-
son OF production is comparatively
short. The culture Is the same as for
the squashes and cucumbers. 1t is
we'll to give them a little additional
fertilizer scattered within two or
three feet Of the hills at the time that
the plants are being cultivated.
The same precautions as to in
sects must be taken as with squashes
and cucumbers. A little dry road
dust or powdered lime sprinkled over
and around the plants may keep the
bugs away. but the safest method Is
to cover them. with the wire fly
screen or with cheesecloth supported
on little pegs and the edges weighted
with soil. The covering should be
removed just as soon as the plants
are sufficiently toughened to with
stand the beetles attacks.

Soaring Values Of PIow Lands.

When farm plow lands increase in
value per acre by one-fifth In one
year and by one-hall in four years,
something has occurred that may be
called a phenomenon" In March,
1916, pillow lands in the United States
had the average value of $3.50; in
the same month in 1917 the average
was S6217; in 1918 1t was $6S.3S: in
1919, $74.31; and at the same time
Of the year in 1920, $s0.01, building
values in all years not being includ-
ed in tho average.
The average value Of 1920 is 81 per
cent above that Of 1916. As per cent
above 1917, 80 per cent above 1918,
and q per cent above 1919. Hence
It appears that by far the greatest
rate OF yearly increase was from 1913
to 1920. To the extent that pillow
land values are, related to crop
prices. this lag in the advance OF
land values behind the advance in
crop prices is according to rule.
Values approximately doubled In
the South in four. years, and that is
a part Of the country where pillow
lands have low values. They are
overtaking the higher values of 9TH
er states. The least rates OF advance
in values are found in the New Eng
land and Middle Atlantic States. In
the corn belt, where values are high
est, the upward movement is strong.
Among the states that have high
acre values for plow lands are Iowa
with $219, Illinois 18th $170. Cali
fornia and Arizona with $3.50. Ne
braska with $125, Indiana with $1l9,
washington with Sis. Ohio and
Idaho with -$105, Utah with $1oS, and
Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Oregon
with 500. Irrigation has made high
values possible for dry lands In Ari-
iona and other states.

Tending "milch" have pointed to

classics as establishing precedents.

1uberc uIosis in Chickens.

Alarm is beginning to be felt by
many persons in the state or Iowa
over the prevalence with which
tuberculosis is being found in ami
mails and poultry. Inspections Of SIX
of the better class Of farms in Cerro
Gordo have been made within the
past week by poultry experts from
the Iowa State College at Anes anu
tubercular chickens were found on
each farm. A ten minute visit In
one poultry yard revealed the pres
ence in the flock OF eight hens which
were affected by the disease.
The farm improvement associa-
lions of the various counties OF the
state thru the offices of the county
agents are bending every effort to
remove the dangers Of the spread OF
the disease and booklets and pamph-
let's have been issued to aid In this
work.

for that reason they are urging strict

wider growth Of the disease than is
credited to it at the present time.
