Who loved a little Amish maid,
But while he kept the flivver ban
This Amish amour was delayed.

Until this Kansas Lochinvar
Renowned his credo and his kin

The Possibilities
+ of Peat Soils

Peat, while differing widely from
the mineral soils and requiring an
entirely different reatment, has
great possibilities, claims Ernest
Bailey, in a soil SUI yey. 1t has an
almost inexhaustible upply of nj
trogen and organic matter which all
upland soils are more or less def
cient in. In fact, most peats run
from rs to 1000 organic matter.
Unless the entire farm is made up
Of peat, it is more economical to
apply manure to the mineral soils,
and mineral fertilizers containing
phosphorus and potassium to the
peat for manure while being
complete fertilizer, is the richest in
nitrogen and organic matter-just
what peat doesn't need. AS stated
above an application Of 125 pounds
per acre of a fertilizer containing
1870 each of phosphoric acid and of
potash is at preent giving very sat
isfactory yields of the staple farm
crops. This fertilizer costs $40
ton, making the present applicG-
ton come to $3.50 an acre yearly.
If manure is applied, less mineral
need be added. Applications OF
two tons of ground limestone per
acre once in eight to ten years
would undoubtlessly be of benefit,
especially to clover grown in the
central portion of the marsh.
In draining peat bog care must
be taken not to have the water lev
ell more than four feet below the
surface as peat does not have the
power to lift water that mineral
soils have and is therefore drouthy
if the water level lies much below
that depth. The low water lifting
power is due to it's loose nature.
Rolling with heavy roller, using
tractor and pasturing all greatly
improve it's physical condition by
compacting it. Light applications
of manure, especially fresh horse
manure are highly beneficial by
adding bacteria which rot it and
break down it's peat structure. AT
ter several years of cultivation
peat loses it's fibrous spongy nature
and it's brown color 1t becomes
black, waxy, structureless, and
much more compact.
Peat is a cold soil. 1t is more
subject to late spring frosts and
early fall frosts than are the min
eral upland soils. This is due
partly to its low lying position but
more largely to its very nature. 1t
absorbs and conducts heat very
poorly. Cultivation and compact
ing do away with this difficulty to
quite an extent but care must be
taken in the selection of crops.
This marsh is well adapted to
dairying as drained and fortified
peat makes fine pasture, gives good
yields of mixed clover and timothy
hay and corn for silage. When
rightly drained, crops do not suffer
from drouth as much as they do on
the upland mineral soils. Peat
is able to take care of water from
heavy rains better than are the
mineral marsh soils for it takes up
the water like a sponge. After
the excessive rains recently the

the danger of erosion. Alfalfa
can be grown on the steep land
while the mere level, easily cult
waited land is kept for cultivated
crops
Greater Returns for Labor
Alfalfa reduced the area of land
needed to supply the cows with
hay. One farmer near Spring
Green got more hay from acres
of Alfalfa on steep land than from
IL acres of clover hay on level bot
tom land last year. Good clover
catches are less and less common
and lined alfalfa does the same
work on fewer acres.
Other Costs Reduced
Alfalfa is concentrated feed and
more feed can be put in the hay
now where clover and timothy were
put before. Cows also eat less of
it and produce more milk, so that
less bulk of feed is handled. Some
farmers actually find that the cows
produce less on new spring pas
ture instead of more, because they
have been feeding alfalfa in the
barn. Many farms carry too large
an acreage of unproduetive land
giving a poor quality of pasture.
Increasing production on the cult
waited acres reduces the amount OF
this poor pasture land needed and
reduces the taxation load which
must be carried by the productive
part of the farm.
