States in world markets during the

ONCE 1920 '1and-values" were

ment of agriculture average value"
of plow lands decreased from $50 in
1920 to $83.78 per acre in 1921; $69S9
in 1922, s66.58 in 1923 and to $64.3S in
March, 1924. This decrease is a di-
rect result of a decrease of prices of
agricultural products as called for by
re-established competition on world S
market, of which the domestic market
of the United States is part and will
be a part disregarding of the tariff
walls.
FROM a similar decrease Of rents
in the agricultural crisis of Euro
pean countries big landholders lost
very much of their power and even
their holdings. Contrary to that, thanks
to the fact that centralized land
holding is here mainly operation of
financial institutions, the losses thru
decrease of land rent from it's posses
sions is offsetted for financial capital
by increased area of possessions on
account of bankrupted farmers.
THRU limiting mortgage loans to
i low per cents of value Of farms
the interests Of financial capital were
insured against such a crisis. Aver
age ratio of mortgage debt to the
value Of mortgaged farms was
here in 1920 about 20 per cent and
there was no state where this ratio
reached 40 per cent Decline OF land

Formula for Whitewash
to Preclude Sunscald

The best method of preventing sun
scald is by leaving on the lower
branches of the tree so that the trunk
is naturally shaded. However. 1t may
be beneficial in some cases to white
wash the trunks for the first year or
two until these branches develop
enough to furnish such shade.
very good whitewash can be
made for use on the fruit trees by
the following formula: Quicklime, 30
pounds; tallow, four pounds; salt, five
pounds; water enough to make thin
paste. This mixture should be ap-
piled to the tree with brush as
soon after planting as possible and
should be renewed whenever neces-
sary until the second winter or until
the shade of the trees becomes ade-
quate to protect their own trunks.

Orchard .
lllf{0nllllgl}llgln
FIGHT MANY PESTS
FROM AIR MACHINE

An interesting development Of the
future, for commercial orchard COM
munities, is the possibility of fighting
insect pests from the air on large
scale. Wherever trees have been pro
tected by spraying or busting from the
ground, the same mixtures can be ap-
piled from the air. Experiments con.

operation with the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture proved the
feasibility and practical usefulness of
the method, and further studies are be-
ing carried on each summer with the
aim of still further improving the up
paratus and perfecting the technique.
The advantages are obvious. for an
airplane flying at GO miles an hour and
passing to and fro on lanes spaced 100
feet apart can cover 100 acres in half
and hour II enough of the busting pow
der to last for that length of time in
continuous application can be carried.
Although the first experiments on
tree busting from the air were made
with airplanes, the airship has since
come into use for the purpose Light
er-than-air craft, such as small dirigi-
bles of the Zeppelin type. the patents
for which have been recently taken
over by American manufacturers, have
many advantages for this work. They
carry crew of several men. who are
free to move about while in flight, and

ply of powder for covering great deal
of territory in single flight. They can
be throttled down to any speed de-

made more or less intensive by vary
ing the rate at which the airship
most important of all, the airship is
immune from the danger of the forced
| landing. In order that the material
used for dusting may be accurately dis

machine doing the work must fly very

be at hand. Although forced landings
| are rare when engines are properly
cared for.-and they have been almost
unknown in the forest fire patrol. the
possibility of their occurrence does rep
| resent hazard to the machine which
is non-existent in the case of the air
ship. In any case, whether the ulti-
mate decision favors the airplane, the
airshIp. or a choice depending on local
conditions in each individual case, the
use Of aircraft in the orchard for dust
| ing may become practical reality.
At the present time It seems prob
able that 1t will only be used on large
acreages or in localities where the
smaller growers cooperate and have
their spraying and busting done at
the same time. Liquid sprays could
| also be applied by the same method,
although there are some dlsadvan-
tages due to the excess carrying
weight of the liquid over the dust,
says the American Fruit Grower Mag

Lining Treatment Will
Increase Yield of Corn

Lining for legumes has become such
common practice that the idea is
often held that these crops are the
only field crops that will respond to
this treatment 1t is, of course. true
that sweet clover, alfalfa and red
clover, Will not grow proftably on sour
soils and lime is often necessary to
establish them. Few other field crops
are so sensitive that they fail with
out lime, but though they may not fai'
utterly without this treatment there
are some that profit by 1t. Among
these crops is corn.
On IS fields of the Missouri expert
ment station where one and one-half
tons of lime We're used every six years
in the rotation of corn, oats, wheat
and clover, the increases in bushels
of corn per acre as result Of lining
go as high as 10 bushels with an av-
erage of 800 bushels. With conserv-
ative price of GO cents for corn, this
gives net profit of 81 cents per
year on a dollar invested. Surely at
the rate of 81 per cent profit. one
need have no great hesitation in call.
ing attention to lining for corn as
well as to lining for legumes, especial
ly when the effect from lime may be
partly lost, since it goes on to the
ground ahead of the wheat and two
years pass before the corn comes
round in the rotation.

Check Soil Erosion
by Bench Terracing
Gives Best Results Used or
Any Steep Slope.

prepared by the United State. Departmeu,
of AgricultureJ
Soil erosion, which annually results
IN enormous losses to the farmers of
ihe United States, Is most effectively
prevented OF controlled by terraciny.
ihere are two distinct types of ter
races, the United States Department
Oh Agriculture points out In Farmers
Bulletin 1886, Terracing Farm Lands,
Just published. For use on moderate
slopes the ridge terrace is best
adapted, it says, while Tor steep
slopes the bench terrace gives the
best results.
The ridge terraces are divided into
the narrow-base and the broad-base
types. The broad-base terrace ctn he
cultivated and can be readily crossed
by modern farm machinery without
injury to the terrace; the narrow
base terrace does not possess either
OF these advantages, and under ordi-
nary circumstances is less desirable
than the broad-base type.
The broad-base, level-ridge terrace
Is laid out absolutely level. This
more nearly meets the requirements
of an ideal terrace than any other
type. Its distinct advantage over the
terrace with fab is that practically
none Of the fertile parts of the soil
are removed from the field. 1t is
particularly suitable for use on open,
permeable soils. When used in con-
nectlon with tile drains on any type
of soil 1t unquestionably is the most
effective method employed to stop
erosion. The broad-base. grade-ridge
terrace, generally known rs the Man
gum terrace. possesses all the advan-
tages of the broad-base, level-rldge
terrace with the exception of the one
just stated. 1t may be used on any
type of soil, but is recommended for
use only on soils where the broad
base, level-ridge terrace without tile
drainage cannot be used successfully.
