SUBSOIL SATURATION

By Mark Austin, Genl Agric. Supt.
In some beet growing districts we
have had very light precipitation
during the past fall and winter sea-
son. In other sections, however, the
fall rains were very heavy, especially
in Box Elder county.
Test Your Sub-Soil
In the sections where the precipi-
tation has been very light, in parts
Of Utah, and Salt Lake counties, and
also in some places in Idaho, lands
that were not irrigated late in the
fall are possibly liable to be dry and
not thoroly saturated with moisture
in the sub-soil. Sucn lands that are
to be planted to sugar beets, should
be thoroly examined before planting.
An easy method may be followed by
excavating hole at least two or
three feet deep to ascertain If there
there is plenty OF moisture In the
sub-soil to take care of the early.
growth of the crop. If it is found
to dry then such land should be ir-t
rigated before planting. If the land
has to be spring plowed such plow-
ing should be done as soon as pos
sible and as fast as plowed worked
down to seed bed. Then II 1t Is
found too dry it should be furrowed
out and thoroly irrigated and just as
soon as it is dry enough it should be
narrowed and leveled and a proper
seed bed made and beets planted i'm
thereafter. Land thus |
.reated will furnish sufficient mofs-
,ure to thoroly terminate the seed,

AN EGG LAYING CONTEST

On October /, of this year, there
will be started in Caldwell, Idaho, ar
egg laying contest to be known as
the Idaho International Egg Laying
! Contest, according to an announce
ment from the office of Prem Moore
poultry specialist, of the University
of Idaho Extension Division. This
contest will be at the University of
Idaho Sub-Experiment station and
will be under the management of the
Agricultural Extension Division and
the College of Agriculture of the
University of Idaho. The contest
will be International in character in
that breeders in any part of the
world will be eligible to enter. eve
are indebted to the business men of
Caldwell for underwriting some of
the expense of the Egg Laying con-
test" says Mr.. Moore. Their CO.
operation makes the undertaking
possible"
when the breeding values of
Idaho poultry stock become appar-
ent," states Mr.. Moore, there will
develop an unprecedented demand
for it everywhere.
The purpose of the agricultural
extension division and the college of
agriculture of the University of
Idaho, in conducting this contest is
to bring to the attention of the
world the fact that some of the best
breeding of the world is being done
in Idaho. This egg contest will dis
tinguish Idaho as a poultry state and
1t among prospective buy
ers of breeding stock turnout the en-
tire world. Idaho is rapidly taking
the lead as great poultry state"
Twelve birds will constitute a
team and the entry fee will be 800
per bird. Fowls must be pure bred,
uniform of breed and of some recog-
nized breed of the American Poultry

necessary they can water their beet
land, and also their alfalfa land, or
any other land that may need the

hat those farmers who have irri-

Others who are not growers seek
ing these jobs have made . failure

want you to finance them. When
forming an association beware of all
office seekers.
You have noticed when these asso-
Citations were formed their managers

and shippers out of business. This
is their big second mistake. You want
must have competition. You can new
err get all growers to join you. There
are some good reliable shippers in all
lines. You need their cooperation.
You can't put them all out of bust
ness, but will only lose lots of money
for your members as long as you at
tempt to put others out of business.
You need more than one shipper to
help you for all cash buyers have an
established trade and can sell your
goods at less expense than you can.
The only way any large co-opera
tive association can succeed is to CO.
operate in every way possible. Never
attempt to ship your own product.
No one selling agent can handle the
output of large association without
selling your goods cheap. You need
the help of every reliable cash buyer
in your district. Make your own price
to the cash buyer, also name the price
at which he can sell. Force all cash
buyers to sell at the same price, then
your trade in different states will
soon learn that they must pay your
price or not get the goods. This will |
stop all your price cutting. Every sash |
buyer must be allowed fair margin |
and they will all work together. The
association will not lose any cars or
be forced to pay any freight but by
selling for cash they can settle with
growers every two weeks, and you
will then have satisfied members who

CLOSED. SEASON, -FOR RAss

It were well for sportsmen and conserva. tionists, as well as everybody who likes to go fishing when "leafy spring smiles upor, the world," to remember that April and May is closed season for bass, bream and trout in Alabama. That is the spawning period fin this section for these fine varieties of fish. Largely through the influence and efforts of the. Alabama Hunters and Fishermen's Asse- ciation, which includes in it's membership thousands of sportsmen and conservationists all over the state, the legislature wisely en- acted this measure of protection. The great majority of sportsmen, and all true conser- vationists approve it, and not only themselves will observe it, but will cooperate in all legitimate ways to the end that it be enforced.
 Heretofore the extinction of these game fish was threatened by the shortsighted prae- tice of taking. them while. on their beds Every fish so taken during the spawning season resulted in rapid destruction of the breeds. Thus they were. depleted throughout the state. Continuance of the practice fo1 a few years would result in extinction, and instead of Alabama waters providing an in viting field for sport and recreation and yielding an extensive food product, they would be deprived of one of their largest values and attractions. ss. s,,l
 Most of the other states have and enforce closed-season regulations to protect and ,propa gate their game fish, and have found the policy productive of valued results. In the mountains of North Carolina not only are the protective laws enacted to cover all needs but brook and rainbow trout are guarded by many game wardens and the lakes and streams carefully patrolled.. Anyone then found with a fishing rod in stream is heavily fined. Repeated offenses are penalized witf prison sentences. The work of propagation has so supplemented the protective measures that the section has become one of the most attractive in the East for sportsmen, and hai developed large and profitable tourist busi ness. In the lake states fish protection and propagation has carried many thousands. oi tourists to that region who spent enough money to pay the entire costs, of the enter, prise and leave large surplus for the public treasury, while developing large recreational and economic asset for residents. Protee tiOn and propagation of game and fish Ii more and more regarded by progressive statei as wise and profitable public policy.
 Correction of the depletion evil under tht law and with approval of conservatiOns canit in good time to prevent serious injury to thi' state. Hereafter bass bream and trout will be given chance to propagate under this protective measure, and with the aid of re
 stocking and pond-culture methods which are. in progress and under contemplation ir

BURBANK.S GIFT TO E1IrcATIoN

Luther Burbank's gift of his .hundred.thou. sand-dollar, creation gardens'' to the Uni. yersity of CalifOrnia for. educational and scientific. purposes is another evidence of the great scientists interest in the welfare of his fellow man. Few men of his period have contributed so generously, SO fruitfully and so whole-heartedly to the advancement of mankind in broad field of service; few are SD meritorious of the gratitude of the world, Such men as Burbank are builders of q last- ing civilization. He has been criticized for lack of sound. conservative and scientific ac- curacy. But perhaps he has performed ,a sure signal service by going boldly where others proceed only cautiously. He has rough-hewn way and thus made it easier for those who refine his discoveries. He has saved to plant t-breeding progress at least two decades of time. Burbank is one of Anieri. ca,s Horticultural geniuses most stimulatiye to- imagination and experimental enterprise. He had already built a lasting monument to himself through his service to his fellow man. Now he serects another through which his memory should be gratefully perpetu- ated. .f ~
