SUGAR Once a DeIicacy.

We are apt to forget how short
time it is since sugar was regarded
as a costly delicacy, proper to be used
by the wealthy alone or as medicine.
In the early colonial days it sold at
about IS cents a pound, in the loaf,
and granulated sugar was unknown.
1t was with the growth Of the custom
Of drinking coffee and tea that it be-
came a food staple. When it was in
troduced to England in medieval times
it was as Indian SALT" a rare and
precious condiment, although the art
Of boiling sugar was known in India
before the Seventh century, and in
Egypt much earlier. The Dutch
brought sugar to Manhattan, and

Woods FIoWer-Carpeted.

Soon after the earliest blossoms have
lifted their heads to the sunshine the
stately queen of the vernal woods
the large white trillium-unfurls her
banners of snowy white. In many
woods this species occurs in such
numbers as to give the forest floor
the appearance of white-starred car
pet. We are likely to find a white
spider, with the front two pairs of
legs much elongated, sitting close to
the center of the flower. This is the
white crab spider, species which
thus maintains an attitude Of waiting

of forceps over the middle of the bios

INCREASE STATES
CLOVER ACREAGE
Farmers Will Use Home Grown
Feed to Avoid High
Freight Costs.

More clover will be sOWn in Wis
consin this spring than ever before if
good seed is available and conditions
are favorable.
Wisconsin has led all states in the
production of purebred clover seed for
the last four years. To stimulate the
sowing of more of this seed on the
average farm, the staff of the Wis
consin farmers Institutes will appeal
this winter to the farmers in all sec
tons of the state to- increase their
legume crop acreages.
In some sections of the state the
clover situation has become very
serious. Where abundant clover crops
grew a few years ago, it is now diff
ficult to get a good "catch." Super
intendent e. L. Luther estimates that
at least one bushel of clover seed is
sown on the average for each of the
10000 Wisconsin farms.
The latest census report credits the
Badger state with a clover crop of
$4,000 tons (5-year average). This
figure is less than one-half that of
timothy grown in the state and is less
than one-tenth of the figure reported
for timothy and clover mixed. Off
Gals at the College Of Agriculture be-
lieve that there is probably consider
able more clover grown in Wisconsin
than the figures would indicate, as
frequently fields reported as mixed
contain more than two-thirds clover,
and frequently very much more.
Wisconsin clover is in no worse
condition than that of all the other
clover states, but when sections in
the northern part of the state famed
for the production of this succulent
grass and dubbed "Cloverland' fail to
produce even normal crops, something
is bound to happen.
Feed the Land.
/, That old land. properly fed, will
produce just as good crops of clover
as new land, is a statement made by
A. r. WhitsOn in charge of the soils
department of the University of Wis
Jconsin.
"Grow more clover to feed more live
stock to get more manure to grow
more clover" is the way Mr.. Whitson
expresses it. Heavy manuring Will
do wonders for the big stand of clover.
"A light top dressing of manure applied
i'm midsummer just after cutting the
grain will also make big dlfference
in the clover crOD'
Besides the question OF soil fer
tility. moisture conditions are given
emphasis by this soil expert. BY re-
iducing the stand of small grain, the
clover is given better chance at the
water in the soil.

sin clover situation is drought" says

Plums and cherries are not SO pOpu-
lar in Dane county, but at that there
is much fruit to look after. About T.
600 plum trees and nearly 1900 cher
ry trees comprise a factor in better
horticulture that cannot easily be over
looked.
Plan County Fruit Show.
Fruit experts ut the College of Ag
riculture are planning fruit show to
be held in Madison next fall that
should bring out keen competition
among Dane county farmers.
Although Mr. Clifford, the extension
specialist at the college, has the com
ing season well taken up with spray
ing work in four other counties, he
has promised to give aid to all agri-
culturists in Dane county who so de-
sire, by telephone, by letter and
through the press. 1t may often be
possible for him to go into many of
the farm orchards of the county and
also to help with the spraying opera
tiOns.
He predicts that, with proper care
of it's trees, Dane county is destined to
take a leading part among the cOun-
ties of the state in production of clean,
sound fruit.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1922-03-09

The orchardiSts of Dane county are
planning to add fruits to the list of
agricultural products that have made
this district a famous one. The county
already ranks tenth among the thou
sands all over the nation in the value
of its farm produce.
A campaign will soon be waged
against orchard pests with the active
cooperation of the farmers of the
county and f. r.. Clifford, fruit special

ready several communities have signi-
fed their intentions of organizing
"spray rings which have been so sue
cessful in the half-dOzen Badger coun-
ties where they have been in operation
for the last two years.
Adapted to Apples.
That the tenth richest farming cOun-
ty in America has great potential
power in the fruit industry can be
seen from few figures given by the
latest census report. There are r.
600 apple trees of bearing age and
PSI, 900 trees that will soon be bear

apple trees capable of producing sew
eral hundred bushels of apples by

cutting it for hay, is one solution of
the problem. In this way the grain
is off the land before the dry season
sets in and gives the clover Il chance
at the available moisture If a late
grain is soWn and it lodges. the clover
is smothered out"
The eastern part of Wisconsin is
the region where most of the pure
bred clover seed is now grown and
Mr.. GRADER believes this section is
holding up we'll because of the lime
foundation underlying the soil.
Red and Mammoth clOvers are the
two varieties that are best adapted to
Wisconsin, according to this Badger
agrOnOmiSt. These clOvers usually
yield q crop of hay and the second
crop can be used for seed
New lands yield big clover crops
because of two factors, the humus and
organic matter present can hold the
moisture, and these soils also have
greater fertility.
GAS the land becomes older the
growing of clover becomes more diff
ficult. The fertility is Slapped out,
and weeds grow more abundantly,
choking out the tender clover plants.
incubation Helps.
ION extremely acid lands inocula-
ton of the seed with legume bacteria
and lining of the soil may help the
clover crop" says Dr. e. b. Fred. soil
bacteriologist at Wisconsin.
An increasing demand for the
legume cultures supplied by the Col
lege of Agriculture each year, shows
that the Badger farmers are finding
that incubation pays.

national Livestock show in the last
two decades than perhaps any other

Three years of experiments showed
clover superior to alfalfa for feeding
sheep. I have no use for timothy and
neither do the sheep. Glover is a

Wisconsin livestock experts rank

classes Of animals Glover produces
more milk for the dairy farmer and
more pork for the hogman than any
other feed.

Of Air Spaces.

Few gardeners realize the Importance
of pulverizing the soil as deeply as it
Is plowed. No matter how perfectly

will not thrive. Large air spaces in

prepared by the United States Department.
Of Agricultural
The extensive injury and deStruc-
ton Of trees of all kinds in New Eng
land during the November icestorn
has brought many inquiries to the
United States Department Of Agrcul-
ture regarding the proper methods to
be followed in repairing the damage
done. The following suggestions are
made by the department.
Remove Broken Branches.
The first thing that should be done
is to remove large broken branches
that are now, or may become, q men
ace to life and property; this is usual
ly best done by cutting at the point
where broken. Attention should then
be given to injuries on the main trunk.
If limbs have been split, Or partially
split, from the main trunk, all splin-
tered wood about the wound should be
removed with a sharp gouge and NAL
let, if not so situated that it can be
sawed off.
repairing the injuries on the larger
branches in a similar manner, and
later to the smaller branches. Some
times when a limb is broken away, the
tree is so weakened at the point of
breakage that it may again break in
severe wind and to obviate this the
top must be pruned back more or less
severely. In case of split crotches, the
advice in Farmers Bulletin ITS
should be followed regarding the gen
eral treatment, including boiling
through and above the crack.
1t is fortunate that the icestOrm
came when it did, rather than in
March or April, for disappointing
germs grow but slowly during cold
weather, consequently there is a long
er period in which repair work can be
done before warm weather arrives In
cases of estates where a great amount
Of injury has occurred, and only
comparatively small force is available
for repairing the damage, the final
cutting Of long stubs can be convent
emily left until early spring, but
wounds or breaks on the main trunk
or close to it, should be attended to
promptly, in any case before warm
weather arrives.
Leave Cavities Open.
It is not necessary to fill cavities. 1t
is better in. most cases to leave them
open. All final cuts should be immedi-
ately covered with some good antisep-
