Big Increase in
Number of Cows
Dairying Around New York
and Other Cities Makes
Good Showing.

Illustrated by the development of dairy
ing around New York city, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture Growth OF the urban population
and improved methods of handling
and shipping milk have steadily
widened the field of distribution. This
is shown by the fact that tom 1880
To 1920 the number of cows IN farms
in counties nearest the city increased
80 per e while the number on farms
from 200 to 225 miles away more than
doubled. XII.
Increase in Fluid Milk.
Fluid milk sold from the farms
nearest the city doubled in quantity
from 1880 to 1920, and Quadrupled in
the case of the farms farthest away.
Counties nearest the city reached their
maximum dairy production by 1900.
Those situated more than 100 miles
away made a gain of practically one
third between 1900 and 1920. Similar
extensions of duirying areas have been
made, through a lesser degree, around
other large cities.
Another example OF wholesale re-
adjustment in farming policies due to
q changed condition is furnished by
the country along the Gulf and Allan
tic coasts. where climatic conditions
make the fight against the boil weevil
exceptionally hard. Cotton acreage In
parts of this region has been cut 90
per cent. Farmers are turning to the
production of farm maintenance crops,
velvet beans, peanuts, other forage
crops, and pasture for the extension OF
hog raising, beef production and
cane for sirup. SWEEP potatoes, water.
melons and other truck crops, are re-
ceiving increased attention.

are quick to note these changes and
modify their production policies &C,

Clover in Garden Will
Provide Green Manure

1t Is a very good plan to SOW some
kind of clover on a part Of the garden
each year and, after letting II stand
one season, LlOw It under for the green
manure. It not only tends to place
the soil in better condition mechanical
~. but the nitrogen the clover gathers
from the air will be valuable. The
roots and tops plowed under will fur
nish humus. The rest from garden
crops starves out a lot of the insects,
and when the ground goes back into
garden II will be like a new soil Of
great fertility.
1t is well to MANURE heavily Just be-
fore seeding to the clover, as this will
cause a heavier growth and the ma
nure itself will be largely available
when the garden crops need II the
following years. Garden crops always
get the best ,trom manures after they
have had q chance TO rot well.
Alfalfa is even better than clover,
and sweet clover will produce more
root growth in year than either
and the second year after the seeding
the roots naturally decay and are cas-
lily plowed. II produces a very heavy
growth quickly the second spring, and
this can be plowed under then, but the
heavy roots make this pretty difficult.
though it permits using the ground for
cropping the same year.
Lining the soil before seeding to
any clover will be an advantage, for II
the land is very sour no clover Will
make much growth. The first seeding
to clover in the garden should be in
oculated, but after that, II rotated
every three or four years, no further
inoculating will be needed, as the bac-
terra will remain there.-L. II. c.,
