the general educational level of its
people in n report of the house COM

aid in increasing educational facili-
ties. The country is trailing behind
most of the civilized world" the re-
port said, from the standpoint Of its
educational advantages.
The proposed measure offers the
only means. the report declared of cor
recting the present inequality of edu-
cational opportunity among the var

of public funds and inefficiency due
to lack Of coordination among federal
agencies dealing with education.

tional problem. the report said In cit

DAIRY FARMERS HAVE RARE
SOIL BUILDING ADVANTAGES

Dairy farmers in Kentucky have an
exceptional opportunity of building up
the poor soils and improving the good
ones o ntheir farms by giving suffi-
cient attention to the care and saving
Of manure produced by the cows in
their herds, specialists on farm prob
lens say. A well-fed dairy COW will
produce approximately twelve tons
of manure each year. ten tons of
which should be saved to place on cul-
tivated fields since the animals are
housed at least six of the twelve
months. This can the accomplished
only by saving the liquid as we'll as

the manure's value is in the liquid

nucleus at the present time.


Manure saving presents complex
problem to the dairyman inasmuch as
he wishes to produce clean milk as
well as retain the fertility of his farm.
The manure must be removed daily
from the stall and provisions made
other than an open barnyard for pre-
serving it until it is spread on the
field. A successful dairyman will have
Il tight floor in his barn which is US
ually made of concrete and contains
gutter with proper drainage from be-
hind the animals. For sanitary rea-
sens the drainage is desirable but
since the liquid contains valuable fer
til.zing elements it must be saved if
the system is to be economical. This
can be accomplished by emptying the
drain into a pit or cistern built near
the barn whene the solid manure to-
gether with the straw bedding is
.stord until the dairmay is ready to
haul it to the field In order to oper-
ate this system with the least trouble
it is necessary to have a track and lit
ter carried from the barn to the pit. A
system of this kind will require the
use of a large amount of bedding,
eight to ten pounds of straw daily for
each COW being good amount to use.
A covered shed for storing manure
may be made with large floor space
and then used for stock shelter, this
arrangement making it possible for
the stock to keep the manure packed
so as to exclude air and preserve it in
better condition A shed IL feet wide
and 20 feet long provided with a tight
floor should be large enough for 20
COW dairy and give satisfactory re-
suits, according to specialists at the
College of Agriculture. Another meth
cd for saving manure is to build a
concreate basin about two feet deep
without any roof where the manure
can be stored until it is hauled and
spread. This is an inexpensive and
efficient method for preserving the
material.
