Mammoth Preparations

exhibition of all time at Chicago this

year from December 2 TO December
8, has warned the management of
the International Live Stock EXPOSE
tion that preparation must be made
TO provide accommodation on a scale
never before deemed necessary.
Six weeks before the date of op-
ening the doors to the public, a
small army of carpenters, electri-
clans. decorations and other work
men are busy in the International
Amphitheatre and the more than
twenty surrounding buildings that
house the Exposition, setting the
stage for the grand spectacle. When
it is considered that these numerous
structures cover twenty acres of
ground, the immensely of the un-
dertaking can be partially imagined.
Not content with furnishing the
additional Accommodations for an in
creased attendance and entry list,
the management has gone to great
expense to augment the conveniences
already available so as to furnish
exhibitors. visitors and the live stock
itself with a maximum of comfort.
A scheme of decorations and light
ing effects is being installed that
will furnish suitably brilliant set
ting for the animated scenes of the
worlds greatest live stock exhibit
ton. The Kings and Queens of the
animal Kingdom will be crowned
among sumptous surroundings and
the inspiring atmosphere of the in
comparable evening programs will
be heightened by the skillful use of
artistic coloring effects that will sur
pass anything previously attempted
on such magnificent scale.
The flood of entries and inquiries
which has been pouring into the
Secretary's office has necessitated
the opening of additional quarters
with a large staff of assistants.
In spite of the Herculean efforts
being made at International head
quarters to have the stage set and
the performance ready for the cur
tain raising on December End. the
task would be well nigh impossible
were it not for the whole-hearted CO.
operation of individuals and organi-
cations all over the country who
take a personal interest in the sue
cess OF the Exposition. Breed asso-
Citations, agricultural colleges, farm
papers, public officials, railroads, in
dustrial organizations and in fact all
elements interested in the develop
ment of our basic industry assume
much of the burden of the prelimin-
airy details over which they have
con;rol. Founded on the basis of
unselfishly serving agriculture as a
whole and operating not for profit,
the International Live Stock EXPOSE
ton enjoys the loyal support of all
agrarian interests and to this fact
is ascribed the outburst of enthusi-
asm which assures bigger and bet
ter show than ever this winter.

In order to work out some OF the
practical details of beef cattle feed

have tour TO the farms this winter
SO that other farmers in the county
can get pointers on their cattle feed

one of the best sources of phosphor-
Gus for thousands of acres of unlimed
soils in Kentucky, soils and crops
specialists at the College of Agricul-
ture SOY. Results from this material
have been especially good on coal
measure soils in the western part of
the state and on the Waverley soils
bordering the bluegrass region. Soils
in both these regions have little or
no natural limestone in them. On the
coal measure soils, the average crop
yields have been eight per cent
greater from raw rock phosphate
than from acid phosphate when the
same outlay of cash for fertilizers
was made in both cases.
On the field maintained by the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station at Greenville to represent
thousands of square miles of terri
tory in the western coal fields, raw
rock phosphate has made the yields
of corn, wheat and soybeans one
fourth larger than they were when
no treatment was given the soils. The
yield of clover on this field has been
more than doubled by use of the rock
phosphate. This field gets an appli-
cation of 1000 pounds of raw rock
phosphate an acre once every four
years.
Best results are obtained from
rock phosphate if the farmer uses
it with the idea of permanently max
ing the soil richer. This material
does not give quick results unless
large quantities of it are used at one
application. The cash outlay for l.
900 pounds which would be about
the right amount to put on an acre,
would be about So. However, this
is enough fertilizer for four or five
years.
Stable manure should be used
with the rock phosphate when ii is
applied to soils that are very poor
in order to furnish nitrogen and
humus. 1t is not uncommon to find
soils so badly washed or so poor in
humus, due to careless farming, that
no form of PHOSPHORUS would show
results. Building up the humus
supply of these soils by using ma
nure or growing legumes is essential
before good returns will come from
phorphorous.

Todd Farmer Rotates Crops Ky Good
System

Todd Farmer Rotates Crops Ky Good
System
D. n. Russell, Todd county far
mer, living in the southern part of
the county, is using system of ro-
tatfng crops ON. his farm that could
be used with good results by many
other farmers of the state, according
to r. E. Stephenson, soils specialist
of the College of Agriculture, who
has Just returned from there. Chief
among the good points of Mr.. Rus
sells rotation is the fact that he has
a legume, sweet clover, growing on
his land at least half of the time.
Almost all the fertility from this
clover goes back TO the land either
in the form of manure produced by
the grazing animals or in the form
of the crop remains which are plow-
ed under. In addition, Mr.. Rus
sells rotation provides for some
growing crop on the land all the
time, thus leaving no bare fields to
wash and leach. The rotation in
cludes corn or tobacco followed by
wheat with the sweet clover sown in
the wheat.
The sweet clover is pastured' of TO
some extent but for the most part
is allowed to mature seed. The ma
tured seed crop is plowed under for
corn or tobacco and another round
of the rotation started. After the
first seeding of sweet clover in this
rotation, no more seedlings are nee
essary as a seed crop is plowed un-
der once each rotation.
Mr.. Russell this last summer had
one field of sweet clover which had
gone one round of the rotation. The
clover had come back from the seed
plowed under and made dense
stand in spite of the fact that II was
topped when the wheat was cut and
III duuitlOu HaO ptNh 5'N "'N-
cattle. Next year, this clover should
produce large amount of grazing
judging from the growth made dur
ing this last summer. In addition,
enough seed should be matured TO
turn under.
The soil on which the rotation is
being used comes from the st. Louis
limestone formation and is rich
type when cared for properly A
light application of limestone and
acid phosphate is all that is needed
to give legumes, such as sweet Glow
or start. There are thousands oil
acres OF these limestone soils In the
state that can be kept in a high state
OF fertility through the use OF q
rotation such as Mr.. Russelis.
