Government Tells People

Hold your war savings stamps" is
the adElonition of the United States
| treasury department. The department
| is moved to issue this warning because
spectators are now Offering more for
war savings stamps issued in 1918 than
the government is paying ut this par
ticlilar time. This may lead Il great
many people to believe they would
get Il bargain by selling their stamps
now to the spectators. On the con-
trury they would be cheating them
selves o,lt of money.
The government ut the time of the
issuance of the stamps fixed the rate
OF interest from the date of issue until

held until maturity ut AZ per cent
compounded. The purpose of this
was to encourage those who bought
stamps 70 hold them the entire five
years. In other words it pays !; pre-
MUM of w per cent to the man who
keeps his stamps five years. This little

Soil Survey Work Planned.

Soil surveys will be conducted in
five Iowa counties during the 1922
season by soil experts from Iowa State
college and the United States bureau
of soils. The counties to he surveyed
are Delaware, Floyd. Worth, jefferson
and Winncshiek. Tne work will begin
as soon as the weather permits.
In making the soil surveys the men
make maps of the drainage conditions,
secure samples of the soils and have
them Analysed and map the amounts
and kinds of soils and subSoilS.
Samples of the soils are brought into
the experiment station ut AmeS and
greenhouse tests are run to determine
the amounts and kinds OF fertilizers
to add. After this there are conducted
on test plots in the county experiments
to determine the results on the soil OF
the farms.
With tnis information the farmer can
tell whether on not his farm is in need
of fertilizers and can find out how
much to apply and what crops grow
best.
Each year Il certain number of coun-
ties are selected from the list OF coun-
ties applying. according to the order of
the receipt of the applications, and the
survey made. Up to date there have
been nearly fifty counties surveyed and
the results i'll about one half of them
have been pllbliShed
In many areas, following the survey
have been drained and the
land reclaimed. fields that would not
grow legumes have been traa ted and are
now producing crops. and considerable
land that was unproductivc has been
reclaimed.
Iowa has as many crews OF surveyors
rs any other state up to date.
In all. about one third of the United
States mas been carefully Su!rV.'@i to
determine the soils conditions.

Plan Summer Forage Patch.

Planting OF !; half acre of amber cane
will furnish the average dairy herd
plenty OF sllcculcnt green forage during
the summer months when the pasture
is short, says {. Il. Finley, specialist
in dairying at Iowa State college.
Many feeders will run out of silage
before that time and it looks as if the
supply would be short, and planting of
forage at this time will furnish the
necessary feed.
Other crops that are fine for silage
crops are Soybeans, sweet corn, oats
and dent corn. For feed these should
be planted tllickly so that they will give
a fine stalk. Paintings made during
May will be ready for feed during the
latter part Of July and other seedlings
can he made so that IL continual supply
of green feed will be available.
Due to the considerable increase in
the number of dairy cows during the
past six months. Mr.. Finley believes
that Il large amount of green feed
ought to be planted in order to supply
the necessary amounts of feed to keep
up good milk production.

Carrots Grow Slowly.

The carrot is delicate in infancy but
husky enough in later life. The seeds
are small and should be planted not
II ore than half on inch deep. y rather
light soil il preferred. as claycy soil
tends to bake in Il crust over the seeds
before the plants come through. The
seeds come slowly. and gardeners often
plant lettuce or radish seeds with them
to mark the row so that cultivation
may begin before the weeds get too
bad Il start Rows may he aus close
together ms twelve inches for hand hoe
cultivation. The first thinning should
leave the plants an inch or more apart.
They may stand this close until about
finger thickness. when some may be
used and the rest lrf: about three
inches apart.
