WOULD FIT SCHOOL
TO FIELD NEEDS
Farm Leaders Favor More Agri-
cultural Courses in High
Schools.

There are in Wisconsin between 400
and 500 high schools. Although agri-
culture is the states foremost industry,
as yet only relatively small number
of these have agricultural departments.
The training of more farm leaders
by the teaching of agriculture In more
of Wisconsin's high schools is one way
out of some of our present difficulties,
pointed out by e. M. Tiffany of the ag-
ricultural staff of the University of
Wisconsin.
He reports that of the Ill high
schools in the state but 125 are teach
ing agriculture, while 271 are teaching
commerce.
wisconsin high schools are pre-
dominately small rural schools, fully
three-fourths of them employing less
than ten teachers" declares Tiffany.
although agriculture is the chief in
terest in these communities, but IA
full-time agricultural teachers are en-
ployed in the 300 or more rural high
schools.
TN the directory Of all the high
schools, % men are listed as being full
time teachers of agriculture. In the
little high schools having from one to
six teachers, there are. At full-time
teachers of commerce, almost twice as
many as there are full-time agricultural
teachers in all the high schools.
"In the high schools having from one
to ten teachers, the commerce course
outnumbers the agricultural men six to
one In all the high schools, large and
small, the teachers employed for COM
mercial instruction outnumber the full
time teachers of agriculture by three
and one-half to one.
"Of the 31S rural high schools only
At receive state aid for agriculture,
while 95 Of them get state aid for COM
merce In 1921, the total money turned
over by the state for agriculture in high
schools was $8,781, while commercial
departments received 1924"
In addition to the state aid, Tiffany
reports that % schools in the state are
receiving federal aid for the teaching
of agriculture.
Teachers in the rural schools must
be rural men and women who know
rural needs" declares this agricultural
leader. "The rural high school will be-
come a COMMUNICATING institution
only when the officials refuse to elect
teachers who want to get through col
lege without ever dirtying their hands
with farmers work"

Find Morgan Horse
Versatile on Farms
Records Furnish Evidence
of It's Usefulness.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Some interesting information has
just been made public by the United
States Department of Agriculture re-
garding the registered Morgan horse
Gladstone that won second place in
the 1922 mounted service endurance
ride. Gladstone's record correctS the
impression that it takes years to de-
velop a good saddle horse.
This horse was foaled April ID,
1913; sired by General Gates, a fa-
nous Morgan horse, and out of Min
nehaha, a mare purchased by the gov
eminent in the state of Washington.
He was broken to single and double
harness when four years old and
shipped in 1917 to the government ex.
pertinent farm at Beltsville, Nd.
where he was driven 20 to 80 miles
a day for several years with another
gelding. He was the first horse Sc
lected from the experiment farm to
go to the stables of the secretary Of
agriculture in Washington, D. c., to
replace horses that had grown foot
sore from use on the city pavements.
In June, 1922, Gladstone was re-
turned to the United States Morgan
Horse farm at Middleburg, VT, to be
prepared for the mounted service en-
durance ride. Here he was used dur
ing haying, raking hay in the fields,
and at the close Of the haying sea-
son was given his first continuous
training under the saddle. The ride
took place in October, and the little
horse carried his rider and equipment,
weighing 225 pounds, the 300 miles to
a highly creditable finish. In the
final rating Gladstone was but three
points behind the winning horse.
Twenty one horses started the race
and but nine finished. Gladstone
was second and finished in ex-
cellent condition.
Within a week Gladstone was back
at work at the United States Morgan
Horse farm, where he is now being
used every day in double harness.
Gladstone is half-brother Of
Castor, the Morgan that made such
creditable showings in the endurance
contests of 1919, 1920 and 1921.
The records made by these horses
in harness and under saddle, on the
road and at farm work, and as sue
cessful contestants in one of the
hardest rides ever staged for saddle
horses, furnish additional evidence of
the versatility and all-round useful.
ness of the Morgan horse.

Thorough Study Must Be
Given Modern Bookkeeping

The keeping of bees is an ancient
branch of agriculture, yet modern bee
keeping is a new thing. Many persons
still enormously think that bees work
for nothing and board themselves, and
that to keep bees he simply gets some
bees and allows them to roam where
they will. The present-day beekeep-
er controls the development 0f the
colony population SO as to have full
force of gathering bees at the right
time, and then prevents a division Of
this force by swarming. By these and
other methods he greatly increases the
amount of honey gathered. The mod
ern skilled beekeeper finds bees far
more productive than did his predeees-
sors because of his ability to change
conditions and adapt them to the nat
uraI habits of the bees.

Sometimes Difficult to
Get Start of Alfalfa

On land which is very rich in humus
It is sometimes difficult to get alfalfa
started because Of the looseness of the
soil. On such soil the alfalfa seed
which is deep enough in the ground
to have moisture enough to grow, may
be so deep that it does not grow and
If the seed is shallow enough to grow
1t may not be deep enough to have
moisture long enough. Hence on such
ground the seed should be covered
shallow and the surface soil be well
'compacted by rolling after the seeding
Is done.

Alfalfa in Full Bloom
Will Produce More Hay

Alfalfa cut in full bloom is slightly
less palatable but produces more hay
than when cut at beginning Of bloom.
Fields moved earlier die out sooner.
Cutting the alfalfa just when the new
growth starts from the crown gives
the plants the best chance of COM
peting against weeds and conserves
moisture by keeping the ground shaded
most of the time. Too late fall cut
ting promotes winter killing. Nebras-
ka station finds that it does not pay
to plant alfalfa in rows and cultivate
for hay.

SOME CAUSES OF LAMENESs
Rough Activities on Part Of Male Bird
Sometimes BIamed-May Be Due
to rheumatism.

A bird may be famed apparently
from rough activities on the part OF
the male birds in the flock. Larneness
may also be due to rheumatism caused
by dampness and exposure. Lameness
accompanied by rapid emaciat1on IS
often a sign of tuberculosis. The spots
on the liver are also a symptom. A
laboratory examination Is necessary
to definitely determine If fowls nave

Control Melon Aphid
With Nicotine Sulphate

The melon aphid is also known as
cucumber aphid. It attacks the I'M
der side of the leaves, causing curling.
Late melons, cantaloupes and cucum-
bers are especially liable to attack.
Nicotine sulphate at the rate Of one
half pint to two and one-half pounds
of soap in so gallons of water applied
when the aphids are first seen is the
remedy. Use a spray nozzle with an
angle so the under side of the leaves
may be sprayed.

Durability of Leather
Can Be Much Increased

Specialists in the bureau Of chem
istry, United States Department Of Ag
riculture, have learned that the dura-
bility of machine belts, driving belts,
harness, and other leather articles
used by the farmer can be greatly in
creased after a judicious selection in
the first place by giving them the care
that will strengthen and preserve
them.

Combination to Provide
Pasture for Farm Stock

A combination that will provide
good pasture for sheep, calves and
colts all summer may be secured by
using rape as a base. The mixture
consists of three pounds of rape, one
bushel Of oats, one-half bushel of one
or two other small grains, and from
ten to twenty pounds of sorghum. If
desired ten pounds of Sudan grass may
be substituted for the sorghum with
satisfactory results.

Main Requirements of
Good Alfalfa Seed Bed

The main requirements Of a good
seed bed for alfalfa, red and sweet
clover, and other small seeded crops
arc that it be moist, finely pulverized,
compact, with a loose surface. Aside
from moisture which depends on the
weather, perhaps the most important
point, especially If the seed bed has
been plowed, is to get it firmly packed.
