Open bitches are usually less costly

NEED OF BUSINESS PRACTICE
Many Cooperative Associations Have
Failed Because of Lack Of Finan-
cial System.

Lack of proper financial systems
has been the cause of failures in many
cooperative associations, say special
lists of the bureau of markets, United
States Department of Agriculture, who
feel that now is an Opp0rtune time for
emphasizing the need of good business
practice among farmers.
The bureau of markets has much
information on systems of accounts
and business practice for cooperative
associations, and either directly or
through extension workers ii is pre-
pared to give assistance in installing
good accounting systems for cooper
ative grain companies, cotton ware
houses, country creameries, fruit
shipping associations, egg circles, CO.
operative cheese manufacturing and
marketing associations. and cooper
alive grain elevators.
Short courses of study in market ac-
counting have been prepared and are
used in number of colleges through
at field points where marketing as
sociations are numerous Systems of
accounts are furnished upon request,
and advice and assistance relative TO
their installation is given through cor
respondence and by means of bulle-
tins especially prepared for this pur-
pose.

The effect of too much moisture IS
readily apparent ia farming wet

with drainage do not always recognize
the presence of too much water in
soils that are not saturated. say spe-
cialists of United States Department
of Agriculture. The low part of the
field is not ready for blowing and
planting as early in the spring as the
higher parts; hence, unless the spot
is 10 be abandoned, the farmer either
must finish the task another day or
the wet place can be worked. Plant
ing on all or part of the field is then
delayed frequently seven TO ten days
later than on land better drained.
Undrained Land Slow to Warm Up.
The wet ground is cold, too, and the
seed in it sprouts more slowly. The
difference between the two parts or
the two fields continues 10 grow as the
season advances; the undrained land
frequently cannot be cultivated until
several days after heavy rains, and
again cOldness retards crop growth,
as in the spring. The difference in
temperature may be six to ten degrees
between the drained and undrained
soil. The effect of later planting and
slower growth must be apparent in the
harvest, especially where the growing
season is cut short by frost. On field
not uniformly well drained the crop
will mature unevenly, and not only
will the yield be impaired in amount,
but if uneven in quality the crop will
be rated for market at Il low value.

LIQUID MANURE IS HELPFUL
OF Particular Value in Garden When
Vegetables Do Not Make
Proper Growth.

American farmers, generally. are
not familiar with the great value Of
liquid manure, and the way TO apply
il. 1t is exceptionally helpful in the
garden and especially when any par
ticular vegetable Is not showing the
proper growth. When any plants seem
weak and standing still. an applica-
ton of liquid manure once a week for
a few weeks will work changes that
will seem almost miraculous. Liquid
manure is IA reviver of dying plants
for II supplies nutrition in an easily
assimilated form. 1t may be easily
provided and should be provided for
every garden.

METHOD OF APPLYING LIME
by Using Manure Spreader With

Lime may be applied either in the
fall or spring. The proper method of
application is important from an eco
nomical standpoint. Scattering with
Il shovel Is wasteful and the diStrlbu-
ton cannot be uniform. The method
used by some farmers with very good
results is TO reverse the beaten OF

mately four times as much protein and
two and One-half times as much total
nutriment as the routine ration fed TO
the dry cows of the general herd.
The COWS on test gave from $4,000
to 10000 pounds of milk in the year !;
that is, three to four times as much
as most of the cows in the general
herd. A part of this larger yield is
due TO the fact that the test COWS
were better bred. but a part also is
due TO the larger quantity of feed they
consumed. say specialists of the United

charge of the tests. How much of the
increased milk yield to attribute to
each of these factors is question Of
