Corn Under Irrigation Can Be
Heavily Manured

Corn is rather gross feeder and as
consequence can take manure rather
more heavily without injury to the crop
and without serious danger of lodging
than can the small grains. In irrigated
sections corn may be manured very
heavily, especially if the water right is
good, without the least danger to the
development of the crop. The crop is
almost sure to obtain more benefit the
second year from an application of
unrotted manure. Thus it is better
practice if corn is to occupy the land
for two years, to apply manure with a
light dressing this year, and next year
apply light dressing also. The ma
nure may be applied, after which it
should be pulverized and worked into
the top soil by means of the disc
harrow. Or, it may be applied as a top
dressing even after the corn is up.
The only difficulty is that it sometimes
interferes with cultivation.
On the dry lands, manure must be
applied very much more judiciously
than under irrigation. Owing to the
fact that any application of manure
may disturb the water relation at the
surface, it is very dangerous practice
to manure corn heavily under dry-farm
ing conditions. Where heavy applica
tions of manure are put on, there /:
grave danger of firing the crop. Thi:
firing process is nothing more or les'
than shortage of water due to thu
excessive amount of unrotted organic
matter present. Consequently thu
best practice of manuring on the DR.,
lands is to make light applications
Manure should be spread very thinly
and evenly. 1t should be well pulverizee
and mixed with the soil by means of thu
disc before it is plowed under. If this
is done, practically all danger of tirinf
due to excessive organic matter at th'
surface of the soil will be obviated. l.
the manure is well rotted, light applica
tions may be given. But it is not 81
necessary with well rotted manure t.
pulyerize the same and mix with tn
surface soil, altho the soil respond
readily to this treatment with wei
rotted manure.
There are very few farms which pre-
duce sufficient manure to keep up tn
supply of orgar,ic matter in the SOL
In'such cases it is good practice to US
some crop in rotation, preferably it
guminous cror, which can be plowe'
under as green manure.
In irrigated. sections the supply OF OF
ganic matter may be maintained by re
tation with. alfalfa. In the dry section
; however, alfalfa is very seldom feas

CURE YOUR OWN PORK
is SUBJECT OF THE
NEW BULLETIN

Cure Your Own Pork" i.
the title of bulletin No. Ie6 A
Just issued by the Extension
Service of Colorado Agricul-
tural College. 1t is by Harry
H. Smith of the Animal Hus,
bandry Department who, in
the Introductory statement,
says:
"A short time ago | was
talking with the manager of a
slaughtering house near Fort
Collins, and he informed me
that during the fall and winter
months many farmers brought
hogs to the slaughter house
and hired him to kill them.
Then after the hogs were
dressed and cut up, the farm
ers would take the meat home.
The question occurred to me,
why do not the farmers kill
their own hogs, save the cost
Of having it done, and the ex-
ira amount of time lost in
making the trip to the slaugh-
ter house2
Why should anyone follow
the practice of selling off all
his hogs and buying meat
from the local butcher shop at
a price which is exceedingly
high compared with the price
obtained from the live hog ?
A farmer cannot afford to sell
hogs at eight cents a pound
and pay from 20 to IS cents
for shoulders, hams, bacon and
loins.
AT present price a hog
weighing 200 pounds live
weight is worth $1,000. If il
dresses IS per cent, which is
about the average, the dressed
weight will be $50 pounds, SC
the dressed hog is worth about
eleven cents per pound, ex'
cluding the price of labor
which is not high, as two men
can kill and dress eight or ter
hogs in a half Gay. Will it no
pay you to kill and cure youl
own meat1"
The bulletin gives complete
Information on killing and Gu
ring, and is we'll illustrated, Sc
that directions may be follow
ed without risk or mistakes
All farm families will be inter
ested in having this bulletin
which is distributed free b,

Forbes, DR.. Smith said, that these
materials could be used by the pub
! lie health at tremendous saving to
the government"
DR.. Smith testified that Forbes ad-
vised the public health service on
| September Is, 1922, that it was the
purpose to dispose of the supplies al
Perryville and asked that this serv-
ice arrange to remove the 20 per cent
of the stores which. had been allotted
to it. 1t was not until after the sale
was made that the public health
service knew it was the purpose to
dispose of the property by a sale.
The public health service, DR..
Smith went on, lacked storage space
for its portion of the supplies and
had made repeated requests of
Forbes for such space. Finally the
aid of Brigadier General Charles e.
Sawyer, chairman of the hospital
board, was enlisted in obtaining a
permit from Forbes that space would
be provided. He added that "all of
us were anxious" to preserve the sup
plies for government use.
Responding to questions prepared
by James S. Easby-Smith, counsel
for Forbes. DIR. Smith said he be-
lieved the Veterans bureau had given
the public health service the pick of
the goods at Perryville and added
that Forbes had been most courte-
Gus and fair"
DR.. Smith said that Mr.. Bierman,
the public health service representa-
tive at Perryville. telephoned him, on
December that the sales to Thomp-
son and Kelly had been stopped and
that on December Forbes tele-
phoned him asking if everything at
Perryville was all right. The witness
said he replied that it was. but added
that his understanding was that later
the sales were resumed.
Documentary evidence presented
TO the committee was that the vet
Grams bureau was retaining one years
supplies and disposing of the re-
maindor of its share of the property,
which was turned over by the war
and navy departments. There also
was read into the record a letter
from Forbes TO the chief co-ordinator
Of the budget bureau transmitting
lists of supplies at Perryvine, which
the bureau declared surplus. 1t was
dated November IA. 1923. the day be-
fore the Thompson and Kelly con-
tract was signed.
Other documentary evidence was
that the budget bureau communicat-
ed to other departments of the gov
eminent TO see whether they needed
any of the supplies and 1t appearing
that they did not the veterans bureau
was so advised.
1t appeared that later, Brigadier
General Sawyer, then physician TO
President Harding and co-ordinator
of hospital services, protested to off,
GERS OF the budget bureau about the
Perryyille sale, declaring the veterans
bureau was selling materials 1t soon
would need. The budget bureau
could not intervene, the general was
informed. as the director OF the vet
Grams bureau had authority in the !
premises.
General Sawyer brought TO WASH |

terials being sold with the purpose, |
