DECEMBER Is BEST MONTH
TO STUDY FARM BUSINESS

Lexington, KY, Nov. 27.-Decem-
Der is the best time of the year for
the farmer TO study his business, ac-
cording to w. ID. Nichols. head of
the farm economics department of
the College of Agriculture. At that
time of the year the field work is
over. the yield, quality and market
price of farm products are known
and the long nights and weather at
that season of the year are such
that there is only limit I'd time for
field work. This gives the farmer
good chance to look back over the
year to make an invoice of mistakes
and successes and plan ahead for
the coming year. The lead pencil
used during the winter months to
study the farm business and make
plans for the new year is the great
est labor saving and profit insurins

says.

other disturbances, terrestrial and
marine, which recently ravaged the
provinces occupied by Ilocanos. the
people of Malayan origin. with per-
haps some Japanese, on the north

as divine visitation and feel that

ing the winter. This rye not only
will prevent soil erosion and leach
ing losses on the various farms, but
also will furnish fall, winter and
spring pasture and make a good res
idue to pillow under for green manur-
ing purposes, thereby putting humus
into the soil. Barley also has prov
ed popular as a cover crop, seven
counties reporting demonstrations in
volving 2,300 acres. Barley, like
the rye, will protect the soil, furnish
grazing and in many cases make a
grain crop that can be harvested
next spring.
Farmers in nine counties of the
state are putting on demonstrations
this winter TO show the value OF Grim
son clover as cover crop. This
crop makes a good winter legume
but in many cases farmers have
found It hard to get stand of it
that would go through the winter.
Four hundred and sixty acres of 1t
are being grown in the demonstra-
tions. Farmers in eight counties
have demonstrations under way to
show the value of vetch as winter
cover crop. They are growing 800
acres of this crop. vetch is harder
and more reliable than sweet clover
but the price of seed is almost pro-
'hibitive. Rye and vetch commonly
are grown together.
Seven counties report demonstra-
tions involving $500 acres of winter
oats while alfalfa and sweet clover
are being used for cover crops in
other counties. Wheat also will pro-
tect the soil on thousands of acres
this winter although this crop usual
ly is harvested for grain. Counties
that already have reported on the
acreage of cover crops seeded are
Marion, Allen, Jackson, Grayson,
Lawrence, Breckenridge, Morgan,
Owslsy, Union, Jefferson, Harlan,
Galloway, Fleming, Meade, Campbell
and Madison.
