Good husbandry, rather than any
royal road to success, is the solution
of profitable crop production for inc
farmers living in that part of the
country centering around the Govern
ment experimental station at Edgeley'
N. Oak. The work of a years or IN
vestigations is summed up in new
United States Department of Agricul-
ture Bulletin, No. 991,. Crop Rotation
and Culture Methods at Edgeley, N.
Oak.
The work covered rotations of corn,
oats, and wheat in various orders, with
alterations of green manure crops,
sod crops, and fallow land. The bene-
fits of both spring and fall plowing
were tested, and the results for that
locality are listed in the bulletin.
Among the conclusions reached are
that time of plowing is less import
ant than timely seeding; that fallow
may be usefully enlisted as an emerg-
ency measure for cleaning up weed
infested lands. or in preparing for a
larger acreage the succeeding season
, than can be handled in the present.
Green manuring is found entirely
unjustifiable as 1t increases the ex-
pense without increasing the yields.
The effect of barnyard manuring Is
comparatively small, but appears to
be cumulative. The controlling fact
or in crop yields seems to be the sea-
sonal rainfall. and the most efficient
cultural methods are those looking to-
ward storing water In the soil.
Corn gives such small yields that 1t Is
not strong competitor of small grain
crops. but 1t Is recommended in rota-
tion in place of fallow to clean the
ground of weeds. 1t also encourages
the raising OF live stock which are
necessary to consumption OF fodder.
Bronze grass has been found to lend
itself well for use in a rotation, and
Is sure and reliable hay crop.
The effect of alfalfa In a rotation
has apparently been to depress the
yield of the crops Immediately follow
ing. Results indicate that the sod
crops. while forming part of the rota-
tion. should enter into 1t only as 1t
is necessary to make new seedlings
and plow UP the old in order to MAIN
tain the maximum production Of the

THIS Weeks NOTES ON THE FARM

Second prominent farm news Of the
week was the announcement Saturday
OF wide and sweeping reduction Of
freight charges on farm products of a
score Of different kinds. The inter-
esting news Affecting the business was
the big snow storm. What then arc We
to put down As first and foremost in
the agricultural developments Of the
.. week? Answer to this Is: Something
that no unobservtng tenderfooter
would have noticed. It may be only
q whim OF Farm Page or there may
be some sense In it but a S-line local
item from Lamar struck US as some
thing altogether novel and highly inn
portant to this entire region. The
statement simply was that a carload
of poultry had been shipped from La
mar. Colo. on tho way to Los Angeles.

western customs Of a lifetime has
ever occurred before 1t 10 not on local
record. Such a carrying of Goals to

What made II the more unexpected
was the impression that California
already had more chickens than she
knew what to do with. Now by send
ing 800 miles for carload she proves
her Unsuitable appetite for white breast

So now We can toll the Kansas City
