sentatIon of civic virtue" DR.. Ella
A. Boole of the w. c. L. U. said this:

naturally paid attention. He looked
at photograph of the statue ana re-
marked: II don't know much ABOUT

fellow" And he set day for puD-
lie hearing. Well, the women came
and freed their minds. The sculptor
stayed away, but sent the explanation
Of his design given in the foregoing.
And the statue went up on Its pedes'

ALFALFA NOT FITTED
AS CROP FOR SILAGE
Difficult to Handle and Hard to
. Pack Properly.
Farmer Should Be Able to Determine
for Himself Whether or Not He
Would Be Justified in Put
ting His Crop in Silo.

prepared by the United States Departme ment
of Agricultural
AS silage crop, alfalfa Is not alto
gether a success. In fact, where 9th
er crops, well fitted for this method
of preservation, can be grown profit
ably it is seldom advisable to use it
for this purpose. One reason corn is
so popular for silage is that it yields
large tonnage at one harvesting,
something which cannot be said of al
falfa.
Alfalfa is somewhat difficult to han
die with ordinary silage machinery,
and is hard to pack properly in the
silo. 1t often becomes moldy and
Shiny. as do various other hegumes,
when put up in this way. Special
care must be taken in packing this
sllage because of the high percentage
of protein in it which causes 1t to
putrefy instead of ferment when too
much air is present.
There are times, however, when al
falfa may be made into silage, for in
stance when weather conditions are
unfavorable for the curing of hay.
Good silage may be made from par
tally wilted alfalfa If 1t Is cut fine
enough and well packed. If it is part
ly cured before running through the
cutter some added water may improve
the silage, but experience has shown

WHY and HOW TO
CULTIVATE SOIL
OF Much Importance That Roots
of Various Plants Be Given
Supply of Air.
MAKE PLANT FOOD AVAILABLE
Many Persons Make Mistake Of Work
Ing Too Deeply and Cut of Feed
ing Rcotlets-Steel Rake Is
Useful Tool.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Most people have an idea that gar
dens are cultivated solely for the pur-
pose Of killing weeds. AS matter of
fact, the killing Of weeds is just one
object of garden cultivation, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The roots of plants require air
just the same as do the tops, and If
the ground is packed or hard or Is
sunbaked over the surface after beat
ing rain, the roots cannot get air. and
for that reason the plants will suffer
If not cultivated. The same thing is
true where the land Is poorly drained
and waterlogged. The water keeps out
the air and the roots cannot feed the
plants.
Cultivation has another object, in
that it breaks up the soil particles and
makes plant food available for the
feeding rOotlets of the plants. Many
persons, however, make the mistake of
cultivating too deeply, and by so do
ing cut off or injure the feeding root
lets and deprive the plant of its source
of nourlshment and support. Frequent
shallow cultivation during dry weather
results in the formation of layer of
fine dust which serves as a mulch or
blanket to retain moisture.
CuItivating After Rains.
The soil should always be cultivated
just as soon as it is sufficiently dry to
be safely worked after heavy rains.
If it is not cultivated, a crust forms, the
surface bakes, and the crops are in
jured. The same will apply where ir-
rigation is used, and it has been found
best to give the soil a thorough soak
Ing, then cultivate as soon as it is
dry enough, and apply no more water
until absolutely necessary.
The hoe and the steel rake are the
| most important tools for cultivating
| the small garden. On larger scale
n wheel hoe or horse cultivator may
be used to advantage. The wheel-hoe
outfits are provided with number of
different attachments adapted for the
| different types of work to be per-
formed. These implements have the
| advantage that one can go over the
garden very rapidly and break up the
surface of the soil in a comparatively
short time. 1t is generally necessary
however, to follow with the hoe and
the fingers to remove any weeds that
have not been destroyed by the wheel
cultivatOr. Even where horse-drawn
tools are occasionally used, the great
err part of the work, especially during

POP CORN UNCERTAIN CROP
Higher Than Ordinary Field
Corn-Average Is Low.

Pop corn grown In 1922 is not mar
ketable until June, 1923, and is very
uncertain crop for the average farmer
to grow who is not in touch with the
market. The average yield on the
1900 acres grown last year was 26
bushels per acre. 1t costs consid-
erably more to produce a bushel of
pop corn than bushel of field corn
and under present conditions it ap-
pears that unless man has been
growing this crop for a number of
years and is reasonably sure of being
able to find good market he had
better not grow it this year.

A Tool That Helps. :,
A handy little tool for loosening the
soil can be made from a piece of thin
board inches wide and IA inches long,
with one end whitfield down to form a
handle and the opposite end provided
with three No. or No. wire nails.
This little homemade implement can
be used very soon after a rain to loos-
en- the surface, so that any small seeds
can break through.
It should be borne in mind that the
time to kill weeds Is when they are
just coming through the ground. If
allowed to become established, 1t is
much more difficult to get rid of them
than II they are taken In time. If the
top inches of soil is kept continuous
ly and thoroughly loosened, there will
be no serious difficulty In keeping out
weeds.

TALKS TO FARMERS.
By Capt. T. F. Peck.
SPRING FLOWING.

The time for Spring blowing is here.
The wise farmer has been getting his
fences and buildings repaired, his har-
ness and plows overhauled, and all of
his odds-and- ENDS jobs out of the way,
so that when his ground is in condi-
tion for blowing, even for day at a
time, nothing will interfere to hinder
that pillow. He cannot pillow when the
ground is too wet, and he cannot let it
stand when a dry spell comes, for it
will get too hard. 1t is to be hoped
that while he has been getting his,
turning plows in shape, he has not
overlooked his pulverizing harrow,
and has not neglected to keep il UP
with his breaking plow.
When ground is fresh plowed, it is
easily pulverized, so if broken and the
clods allowed to dry out before pull
verizing, it is no small job to accom-
plish.
Flowing ground too wet will lock up
the plant food in the soil so that it
will not be available for plants. Sub
soiling should never be done during
the winter months, and never when
the subsoil is wet. While there is
plant food in the subsoil, it is dormant
until the subsoil is disintegrated by
the action of the air and frost and it
is mixed with decomposing vegetable
matter.
In breaking land in the spring, the
turning pillow should not be set deep
enough to set up any Of the subsoil.
A good methad of determining if the
ground is dry enough to pillow is to
take up a handful Of the soil and
squeeze it firmly and then release it.
If it falls apart when released, the
ground can safely be plowed, but if it
remains in ball, find some other
work to do until it dries out.
The wise farmer. during the rainy
weather gets his plows repaired, all
bolts frightened, his single and double
trees ready, his harness repaired and
oiled, and has everything in readiness,
so no time will be wasted. / have
seen so many wait until the ground
was right and they have all the pre-
parations to make before they could
get to work in earnest-part of the
equipment in one place and part in an
other, some of it broken, and no new
points for the plows.
1t is better to anticipate your work,
and be ready to begin operations
when the opportunity offers. II we
are, there will be few seasons when
we cannot proceed with our blowing
without injury to the soil.
