FARM SOIL SURVEYS
MAKE GREAT STRIDES
Many Counties Already Sur
veyed by Men of the State
Laboratory.

When men with big hearts and big
souls put hearts and souls in their
work, things are bound to hum, ac-
cording to all the laws that one is
able to find on humming.
Things did hum in the work of the
state soils laboratory during the year
of 1924 This was the result of the
efforts of the staff of men responsible
for the personal surveying during the
past year of 375 farms, averaging $50
acres.
Figures show that there are about
10000 farms in the state Of Wiscon-
sin. OF these, 2,875 have received the
aid of the surveyors during the last
eleven years While this is less than
2 per cent of the total number Of
farms in the state, yet those who
have taken advantage Of the oppor-
tunity are acting as broadcasters.
Many are the farmers who are reap
ing benefits of the experience of the
courageous few

Management Of Wood
Lot Is Better in the Eas

Eastern farmers are ahead of their
western brethren in the management
of the farm wood lot There the wood
lot is preserved from fire and insects,
and furnishes the owner with his fuel,
fence posts, rails and even building
timber for repairs. Many could i'm
prove and the average western farm
er should do much better than is Gus
tomary by making a study OF the
science of forestry as 1t applies to his
own small tract. National Bulletin
No. AZ, issued by the forest service of
the Department Of Agriculture, gives
much valuable information in the care
of trees and how such useful adjunct
to the farm may be made to yield
proper returns. The supply Of timber
in the United States is decreasing rap
idly and an investment in growing
trees is about as safe as government
bonds and much more fun. The pres
ent annual consumption of lumber in
this country is 5O,0O0,OOOOOO feet. 1t
will not last forty years at this rate.
Better set out some trees

KEEP JUNE GRASS
OUT OF ALFALFA


Alfalfa fields that are expected to
stand for several years will profit by
an annual cultivation. The main rea-
son for it is the elimination of grass
and weeds. On many of our good al
falfa soils, June grass is prone to
cover the ground of it's own accord
within couple of years, and If 1t is
allowed to grow among the alfalfa
plants it will eventually take possess
sion and crowd out much alfalfa.
Thorough cultivation with spring
tooth harrow, once each year, will
keep this natural growth of June
grass in check and will scarcely in
jure the long, tough tap roots of the
alfalfa plants at all. To be most eff
fective it is necessary to give this
narrowing in rather dry time, other
wise June grass is not easily killed.
Neither can it well be given after the
plants have made much growth.
Perhaps the best time would be i'm
mediately after the removal of the
first crop if ground is reasonably dry.
In many fields, depending upon wealth
er and soil conditions, as good results
might be obtained if the cultivation
is delayed until the second crop has
been removed.

Manure Wasted if Left
Exposed in Barnyard

Manure spread on the land directly
from the stable has given larger crop
yields than equal amounts of manure
exposed in the open yard for some
time before spreading, in the many
tests at the Ohio agricultural expert
ment station.
The average increase Of crops In ia
vor Of stall manure over yard-exposed
manure, both applied at the rate OF
eight tons, was $40 per acre.
In this experiment extending over a
period Of % years the stall manure
is spread on a one-year-old sod in jan
uary to be plowed under for corn in
early spring. An equal weight Of ma
nure is taken from the stalls at the
same time and exposed in flat piles
until April when it is spread on adj
Joining plots, after which the treat
ment Of all plots Is the same.
Tests at the station show that ma
nure thus exposed in piles lost 1913
per cent OF the original nitrogen, 22.b
per cent Of its phosphorus, and 81 per
cent Of It's potassium. This is about
one-third Of It's fertilizing value and
readily accounts for the difference in
crop yields in favor of direct applica-
ton.
Owing to the addition Of moisture
to manure exposed to the weather this
loss may be unnoticed.
