DOUBLE CROP YIELD IN OHIO
Small Applications Of Ground Lime
stone and Masure Of Great Bene-
fit to Rotation.

Small applications Of ground lime-
stone and shed manure nearly doubled
the yield Of corn, wheat and clover In
rotation on the Ohio experiment sta
ton test farm at Carpenter in the
southeastern part of the state.
Finely ground limestone is applied
IN the wheat ground after blowing at
the rate of 100 pounds per acre. IN
treated shed manure is plowed under
for corn at the rate of five tons to the
acre.
The average increase of corn for
the period of 10 years is 60 per cent;
for wheat, 90 per cent; and for clover
hay, 108 per cent.
Other experiments suggest that on
most acid soils larger initial applica-
ion of lime is desirable, and that the
time of applying the lime does not
greatly affect yields.

Horses Decreasing On State Farms.
Horses on Maryland farms are be-
coming fewer, according to John s..
Denee, crop statistician at Baltimore
for the United States Department Of
Agriculture, cooperating with the ex-
tension service of the University of
Maryland They decreased to the ex-
tent of 1000 head over 1921 returns,
he said.
Mr.. Denee was of the opinion that
tractors and automobiles were taking
the place of the horses on the farm to
some extent and that this decrease
would probably continue as the years
go by and machinery takes the place
of the faithful animals. Their market
value also showed a decline.
While horses declined, mules man
aged to hold their own, he said, but
there was no increase in number.
Other cattle, however, showed a
marked increase in number If not in
value, there being in all $4,000 more
live stock in evidence than last year,
according to figures compiled as of
January 1. Milk cows gained in num-
Der to the extent of 1000; other cat
tie, 5000; sheep, 1000 and swine, a.,
900.

Earmers' Oppose Daylight Saving.

Maryland farmers are bringing their
influence to bear upon Baltimore bust
ness men to oppose the daylight-sav-
ing ordinance when it comes before
the people at the next election.
The farmers, who, for various rea-
sons, have opposed the change all
along, are reported doing considerable
"wire-pulling" on their own account
with concerns with which they do
business in the city. They have been
especially active among the commits
sion men, it is said.
To such an extent has this opposi-
ton manifested itself, according to A.
s. Goldsborough, secretary Of the Mer..
chants and Manufacturers Association,
that it is doubtful whether the assoeias
ton, as whole, will indorse the
measure, despite the fact that the
Drug Exchange Bureau of the organ
ization has gone on record favoring it.
Il find,' said Mr.. Goldsborough,

Pekin Is Heavier Than Average

Commercial Raisers.

Rouen ls Also Large Bird, but Has No
Decided Neutrality-suspicious. ls
Undoubtedly Best Layer,
Although Small.

Those who are thinking Of raising
ducks for market can well afford to
take stock of the situation and deter
mine in advance the breed which will
meet market conditions to the best adj
vantage. There is no profit in rails
ing breed which is unsuited for the
purpose which you have in mind.
Pekin Is Best Duck.
The best duck beyond doubt for
market purposes is the Pekin. It is
heavier than the average and grows
with such rapidity that the green
ducks can be marketed to best adj
vantage when only ten weeks Of age,
The pekin stands at the head Of the
list and is the undisputed leader in all
duck markets, just as the Leghorn
dominates the egg-farm field among
commercial poultry raisers.
Close to the Pekin Is the Rouen,
which is also a large duck, but to date
1t seems to have made no marked Inn
preston upon the market. It has no
advantages to offer over the Pekin
and, therefore, has made little head
way against it.
Runner IL Best Layer.
For egg production we must turn to
still another variety. The Runner
duck is undoubtedly the best layer Of

the ordinary for these ducks to COM

FEED DAIRY cows LITERALLY
During Cold Weather Animals Should
Be Given Larger Amount of
Grain Than Usual.

During cold weather, dairy cows
should be fed little more grain than
during milder weather A few pounds
of corn chop each day during the cold
est days will help to provide more
body heat and enable the cow to keep
up her milk flow even in the coolest
weather. 1t is of course necessary
that the cow have shelter and not be
exposed to the cold winds. On real
cold days a blanket will assist in
keeping the cow comfortable.

mence laying late In the fail and to
keep 1t up throughout the winter and
the following summer. In fact, rec
ords Of 200 eggs per year among these
ducks are not at all uncommon.
The Runner, like the Leghorn
chicken, is small and trim in size and
shape. and, therefore, not well suited
for market fowl. but it is probably
the best suited for general farm con-
ditions where good laying is desirable
in fact. the Runner has in the past
ten years made rapid Roadway on the
farms because Of this very fact.

Proposes New Timber Tax.


F. w. Besley, State Forester, soon
will appear before the Maryland Tax
Commission to argue for revision of
the tax laws as they applied to timber
lands. In statement he said the
present system is unjust in principle
and that it puts premium on the
devastation of forest land. Mr.. Besley
said the assessment made upon forest
land is higher than that upon arabic
land, and that the tax rate is CORE
spondingly higher,
The injustice of such a plan is that
the farmer pays an annual tax on land
which yields him nothing until har-
vesting of the timber is made, which
can be only every few years, Mr.. Bes-
ley said.
The plan he will push will be that
of yield" tax. to be laid when the
timber is cut. The assessors, he says,
should take the production value as
the basis of the tax.
