PROMISING FUTURE
SEEN FOR FARMING
BY WALTER F. RENK
Dane County.

In choosing a life work most Of us
are interested in the financial aspect.
Many positions possibly afford a
chance to make more money in given
time, but in the long run the farm has
almost always been a most profitable
place. At times farming has been
very discouraging. However, it Is the
future that will take care of the young
man going on his life work, and it is
that phase of an industry that should
attract his attention.
firmly believe that young man
who has the opportunity to go back on
the farm, especially the farm boy, is
fortunate. Too many of US feel that
salaried position is the only thing,
but we fail to take note Of the ms and
outs that go with it. We fail to OBJ
serve how far there is q chance for
advancement in agriculture on the
farm compared to other fields.
Farming is knocking at the door of
a prospective brighter and more pros
porous future. It appears to me that
we are just beginning the upward
trend of the cycle.
/ feel that the brighter future of
farming will be brought about by a
greater demand for farm products and
Of course improved conditions in all
industries We shall soon evidence a
greater demand for farm produce be-
cause of the greater increase Of the
urban population. Thus ! feel that II
properly managed, the farm will be
much more profitable than it has been.
The farm offers a wonderful OPP
portunity for leadership. Many boys
feel that the farm requires too many
hours of work; that it does not afford
the liberties of the city; that it is not
an ideal place to live. Although we
are forced to put In longer hours than
the city man, we are not obliged to
report to an Office every morning at
nine and put in certain number of
hours. We are not tied down to the
lob. If we decide to take Wednesday
Of. we can do so without getting the
permission of the president or man
ager. Our work, though at times not
the most agreeable, Is always in fhe
fresh air. We are not confined within
four walls The present farm Is
only suburb of the city. A few

more adapted TO Standardization must
find purchaser who is willing TO pay
for this extra outlay Of labor and cap
ital which is embodied in the product.
The drummers who go out to make
sales and popularize their goods on
price as the only selling point cannot
hope to compete for long time with
those who can offer superior quality
and service even though their price is
higher.
Begin at Home.
Let the dairyman weed out the
boarder cows and substitute profitable
ones, or grow more alfalfa and clover
and buy less expensive feeds such as
concentrates, Bakken points out.
When they have succeeded in the pro-
gram of higher quality production per
unit, they will also find market for
their additional products a market
that will sufficiently reward them for
their diligent labors.
Dairy farms and local factories or
creameries generally DO not have a
sufficient volume OF cheese or butter
to standardize their products in car
lots. Theyfdo not have the first-hand
information necessary to comply with
the requirements of the trade, nor the
services to offer with the product.
1t is to the farmers interest to or
ganize their own sales organization
and employ experts to grade and pack

Better Poultry Is
Helping All Stock
Progress of Better Sires-
Better Stock" Campaign.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A total Of 1,164,657 fowls-all breed
ing stock-are listed in a recent re-
port just issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture as under
going Improvement by the use Of pure
bred male birds. The fowls consist
principally of chickens, but include al
so turkeys, geese, ducks, guinea fowls
and pigeons. The report deals with the
progress Of the Better Sires-Better
Stock" campaign conducted by various
states and the department for the i'm
provement of domestic animals.
1t is noticeable, however, that fowls
outnumber other stock by more than
two to one The number of cattle.
horses, asses, swine, sheep and goats
totals slightly more than half mil
lion as compared with cons derably
over a million fowls.
Department live stock specialists
point out the educational effect which
improved poultry has on the breeding
of larger animals and cite examples
in which well-bred poultry flock was
the means of causing the betterment
Of other animals on the same farms.
Being prolific, poultry respond very
quickly to good breeding practices, in
Guiding the use Of high-quality pure
bred males. The report shows also
that the use of pure-bred sires in poul-
try breeding stock results in the own
ership of more than ten times as many
pure-bred female birds.
The small investment necessary to
establish breeding pens of well-bred
fowls makes poultry popular class
of live stock on which to begin pro-
gram for improvement.

Poultry Hints

Hens in the laying houses and bare
yards need lot OF green feed.
Breeders permit the production Of
early broilers, which is one Of the
most profitable phases of the industry.
Late chicks are hard to raise and
slow in maturing. Such chicks are
easy prey to diseases. and robbers OF
the roost in many ways.
Get the brOoder in condition before
putting In the chicks. Disinfect 1t
well and start it some time before
the chicks enter 1t. The house must
be warm and dry. and preferably on
fresh. clean location.
Thousands Of worthless producers
got their "start" during the Matching
and brooding season.
Toe-mark the chicks soon after they
are Matched. This fixes their age and
classification. Do neat job with a
sharp punch and keep away from the
foot bones.
Give the young chicks a chance to
dry off and get their "sea legs" be-
fore putting them into the broodcr,
and be careful not to chill them while
making the transfer.

Sudan Grass Excellent
as Substitute Hay Crop

Sudan grass is fine stemmed, leafy
sorghum suitable as substitute hay
crop. Recent trials by several agricul-
rural stations demonstrate that 1t is
also suited to pasture purposes to be
alternated with the regular rotation
pastures. The crop RECEIVERS rapidly
when eaten off and roots sufficiently
we'll so that the plants are not pulled
up when pastured. Cattle relish It as
green feed and seem TO maintain
their milk flow as well upon 1t as they
do when pasturing the regular pas
lures

FARM! NOTES

Weeds are killed easiest before they
are s0wn.
Soy beans, sweet clover. vetch and
Mammoth clover are frequently used
TO improve sandy lands.
Cod liver oil in the mash for baby
chicks kept in close confinement dur
ing early spring will help to prevent
leg weakness.
Cats and dogs are useful in keeping
rats under control. However, they
need the cooperation Of the owner if
they are to make real cleanup of the
trouble.
Time is necessary to make real and
lasting improvements in agriculture.
This applies to the individual and to
national problems of agriculture as an
industry.
Success In business ventures de-
ponds largely on purchasing raw ma
terials at favorable prices. Another
point for the dairyman Is their efi-
cient use by the cow.

FARM EAC.T.%:,

Sweet clover makes good hog
pasture.
Ev-ry thistle cut this year means
lot less next year.
Feed what eggs are made of. A ra-
ton Is like chain, just as strong
as It's weakest link.
A legume not only increases the pro-
duction of crops which follow 1t In
rotation, but furnishes valuable feed
In itself.
If we should have a dry season,
shallow level cultivation will help con-
serve soil moisture and perhaps save
the corn crop.
A brush and can of kerosene are
mighty good tools to loosen dirt and
rust SO that bearings may be properly
adjusted and bolts and nuts frightened

Alfalfa Sown in August
Should Be Seeded Alone

When seeded in August, alfalfa
should be sown alone. that is, with
out a nurse crop. Whenever there is a
sufficient amount of moisture in the
soil at that time Of year to cause
rapid termination Of the seed. 1t is
easier to get stand without interior
ence from weeds than in the spring,
whether the alfalfa be sown alone or
with nurse crop. Bear in mind. how
ever, that the seed bed for alfalfa
should be very thoroughly compacted.
If stubble ground is plowed late In
July or the first week in August for
alfalfa, disk it thoroughly afterwards
and follow with harrow until fine
well-compacted surface has been so
cured

Diversity of Crops

A diversity of crops makes possible
better utilization Of farm labor and
provides feed for live stock. In choos
Ing the crops to be grown, only those
that ere of major Importance should
be included Usually not more than
Ave or six crops should be grown and
these should be chosen so that they
will provide labor throughout the sea-
son, give a cash crop, and provide feed
'or the live stock

Seed Poultry Yards

One of the best ways of destroying
the bacteria that bother poultry Is to
put the yards under cultivation. In
addition, the seeding Of the yards is
very important from the standpoint Of
furnishing green stuff for the fowls.
Where a considerable number of
fowls is kept on relatively small run
1t is we'll to arrange the lots so that
they can be alternated. Oats is prob
ably the most common plant used for
TINS purpose.

Rhubarb Very Important
as Perennial Vegetable

Rhubarb, or pieplant, is an impor-
tant perennial vegetable. Like aspara-
gus, it produces supply early in the
spring when fresh vegetables are in
great demand New leaves appear
from early spring to midsummer. but
the leafstalks produced early in the
season are most in demand and the
harvest does not usually last more
than eight weeks. After pulling has
stopped, the leaves are allowed to
grow and supply the roots with food
material for the next years crop.
Rhubarb roots are hardy and require
no winter protection. The plant is
capable of surviving both the extreme
heat of summer and the cold of winter
in the central latitude.

Use for Trap Nests

A trap nest Is a laying nest
so arranged that after hen en-
tiers 1t she is confined until re-
leased by the attendant.
When possible it Is advisable
to trap-nest the layers for the
following reasons:
/. To tame the birds, thereby
tending toward increased egg
production.
2. To furnish definite knowl-
edge concerning traits and hab-
It's Of individuals.
8. To furnish the only salts
factory basis FOR utility or other
breeding.
A. To eliminate the nonproduc-
tive hen.
s. To add mechanical pre-
cision to Judgment and expert
ence in developing and main
tanning the utility Of flock.

Sweet Clover Valuable

Sweet clover, like most of the COM
mon legumes, contains large amount
of protein, thus making it valuable
feed for growing stock and milk pro-
duction. Analyses made at Idaho ex-
pertinent station indicate that sweet
clover is about equal to alfalfa as a
feed for live stock. 1t carries about
the same amount of protein: is only
slightly lower in carbohydrate and is
very little higher in crude fiber. The
biennial yellow sweet clover is high
er in crude fiber than the biennial
white.

Judge your grades as well as your

BIG PETRIFIED
FOREST FOUND
IN WASHINGTON
Extends For Half a Mile
Along South Bank of
Columbia River

Spokane, Wash. July 13.-L%-
Discovery of a petrified forest OF
giant oak trees, believed to be the
only one of its kind on the North
American continent, has been made
near the confluence of the Spokane
: and Columbia rivers in this state. E.
NJ. Tardy. United States school in
spector for the Indian department,
now located on the Colville Indian
reservation, announced the find,
which was made by DR.. w. A. John
ston.
Owing to its difficulty of access,
the forest has not yet been fully
expired, but is known to extend for
half mile along the south bank Of
the Columbia. The trees are two
to five feet in diameter and some
so feet tall.
"The forest, of what apparently was
a growth similar to our oaks, grew
on one of the first of the eight flows
of basalt that partially covered that
part of the state of Washington" Mr..
Tardy said. 1.-THE trees then were
covered by subsequent flows.
THE extent Of the preserved forest
is not yet determinable, as the loca-
ton makes exploration extremely diff
ficult. However, on the lodges where
the formations are plainly visible,
the fallen trunks of giant trees are
in open sight and by carefully nego-
tiating the precipitous canyon. the
standing trees may be seen to reach
a height of 60 feet or more. The
diameter of many of the larger spec
linens is as much as five feet and
tree two feet in diameter is common.
ITO view the work of time on the
walls of the canyon it is
necessary to scale the cliffs and pass
over the lodges made by the breaking
away of the solid rock. This weather
ing has gone far enough to open a
passage into the forest that in real
ity honeycombs the hillside. Where
the tree trunks have been brought
into contact with the air, the wood
has rapidly decomposed and left the
hollow shafts in the solid rock.
by travelling along the lodges and
breaking away the loose accumula- |
lions of small scalings, the hollow
forest may be entered, one tree at a |
time, as the wall Of the canyon is of
solid basalt and the only openings are
where the trunks of the trees offer
perpendicular shafts, most of which
are still filled with the Ndecayinp
wood of many centuries ago."
Mr.. Tardy expressed the opinion
mat further exploration of the site |
night reveal the presence of animal
life OF the period when the molten
rock overlooked the forest.
