dealers. Such a market, II II 10 a
producers market" furnishes an OPP
portunity for direct dealing between
producers and consumers. Open re-
tail markets may also admit hucksters,
or wagon and push-cart peddlers as
statesmen. These dealers are usually
admitted under certain restrictions.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture has given much attention
to the subject of public markets, their
establishment and operation, as an
economical and satisfactory meeting
place for the country producer and
the city buyer. A new Department
Bulletin, No. 1902, entitled "open
Types Of Public Markets." is now
available for distribution, and copies
may be had free by writing TO the De-
partment of Agriculture, Washington,
ID. @.
The bulletin discusses the function
of public markets, their ownership and
control, establishment and operation
1t says that public markets are not
agencies to replace other means OF
distribution of farm productivity are
supplementary agencies to aid, under
favorable conditions, in efficient dis
trlbution.

Planting cover or green manurei
crops Is a matter which requires at
tention In September In most parts Of
the United States, says the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Clover, vetch, and other legumes
serve the triple purpose of adding
humus to the soil, accumulating nj
trogen, and preventing soil erosion.
With some tender berry and fruit
crops they also serve to protect the
roots from severe winter weather. Out

rye Is largely used as a cover crop
sown In the fall and plowed under In
the spring to add organic matter to the
soil. The cover-crop problem varies
largely with locality, but for over
winter purposes there is one rule which
is universal, and that is to get the
crop in the ground In time to secure
good growth before freezing weather
A Practice Of Long Standing.
The use Of clover or some other
legume to enrich the soil is generally
considered cardinal argricultura
practice in the humid sections Of the
United States. 1t antedates by three
fourths Of century the monumental
discovery that legumes store up nitro
gen from the air. The belief that
clover was a valuable improver rested
first on experience, and later expert
ence was substantiated by the dis
covery of the relation between th'
legumes and the nodule bacteria.
Other legumes, as the cowpea, the
Japan clover and bur clover In th'
South, and crimson clover on the At
lantic coast, have come into use In thu
territory, not well adapted to. red
clover. The various vetches are hell

BEES ARE VERY PROFITABLE

The common honey bee is by far

ALFALFA SEEDED IN SUMMER
Considerable Success Attained at Uni
verslty Of Illinois In Rotation
With Corn.

Considerable success has been at
tained in seeding alfalfa on the dairy
farm at the University OF Illinois
where rotation of corn for sllage
and alfalfa for hay are the principal
crops. Fall wheat is sown after the
corn is cut for the silo. The next year
the wheat stubble is plowed as early
as possible and very thorough seed
bed prepared. The alfalfa is seeded
as soon as there is sufficient rain.
About the 28th OF September wheat is
drilled. This gives crop Of wheat
and two cuttings Of alfalfa the next
year.

some of the best portions being 10
Gated north of the national boundary
Limited areas Of less value are founc
outside these boundaries.
The opportunities for beekeeping In
this region, are not being utilized as
completely as In some other beekeep-
ing regions of the country. There are
vast areas OF the clover region not ad.
equately covered by bees, and also
many places where, because of the
methods of beekeeplng practiced, the
beekeepers are falling to produce the
best possible crops.
Beekeeping to be profitable In this
region must be conducted with all pos
sible skill. Better methods, 1t is be
lieved, Will result in a greater devel.
opment Of the industry. Because OF
the presence of European foulbrood in
some parts of the clover region, and es-
pecially because of the superior quail
ity of the Italian race Of bees, the bee
keeper of this region will find II great
ly to his advantage to keep this wa
riety. Italian bees are able, under
good management, to clean out the
larvae dead of European foulbrood
Not all strains of this race are equal
ly good for this purpose, and the bee
keeper should take pains to get the
best.

SUCKERS ON CORN HARMLESS
Many Farmers Have Mistaken Idea
That Earless Stalks Are Hin
drance to Growth.

Many farmers are possessed with
the idea that the suckers or earless
stalks which grow from an ear-bear-
ing stalk Of corn, are q hlndrance to
the best growth OF the latter; ;
and valuable hours are sometimes
spent removing them. But expert
ments during two successive years on
Nebraska farms demonstrated that
corn with the suckers left undisturbed
outylelded that from which the suck
ers had been removed. Their leaves,
like the others. would seem TO per-
form useful office in absorbing nu-
tritive elements from the atmosphere
for the benefit Of the ear on the main
stalk.

PROBLEMS OF AVERAGE FARM
One Of the Most Important ls to Ar.
range Work 20 obtain Profit
From Each Department.

To arrange the work of the farm so
that each department can be made to
turn a profit is one of the important
problems Of the average farm. Where
sllos are added to the farm buildings
a change OF farm management must
follow. Less hay is needed, less land
is required for pasture, more stock can
be kept on the land, more land must
be used for corn, or at least sufficient
corn must be planted to I'LL the silo
Less labor Is required to feed the
stock, but more must be provided dur
ing the short season Of silo filling.

Under.
north Atlantic coast II Is considered
best to get these crops In from the
first to the middle OF August, while
in the extreme South the planting may
be deferred to early October. In the
extreme North hairy vetch Is favored
as a legume cover, or green manure
crop, but rye is also largely planted.
From middle Pennsylvania to tho
north Alabama line crimson clover
gives good results. In the extreme
South bur clover, vetch, and crimson
clover are used, as well as velvet
beans and cowpeas.
Broadcastlng Seed Is Favored.
Methods with cover crops vary great
ly. In the South they are customarily
sowed between rows Of cotton at the
last picking. II Is also common to
SOW the winter crop between corn
rows before harvest. Wherever clean
cultivation is practiced the soil is
likely to be in shape for broadcast
Ing the seed. If convenient, II can be
narrowed in. In orchards light har-
rowing or disking may be employed
II the ground Is free from sod. Care
must, Of course, be taken not to inJure
the roots. The crop is usually plowed
under In the spring but this is not al
ways done with orchards. Data col
lected In all parts of the United States
shows general benefit from this foru
of agriculture.
Cover crops are of especial value tC
small gardeners and truckers, who
often find 1t both difficult and eg
pensive to obtain stable manure. They
add the humus which Is so necessary
to maintain a good physical condition
of the soil.
