Lack Of Potash Cause
of Poor Clover Crops

Investigations in Wisconsin have
shown that one of the causes for the
decline in various clover crops is lack
Of sufficient potash. Alfalfa and all of
the clovers use large quantities of
potash, and cannot do their best when
there is shortage of this element.
One Of the indications of potash
starvation In alfalfa is tiny white
spots the size of small! pin heads ap-
pearing on the leaves, while the same
thing in clover is indicated by similar
yellow and brown spots.
The Wisconsin College of Agricul-
ture, pointing out that it takes four
tons of farm manure to supply the
potash needed by one ton of alfalfa
or clover, says that it is more eco
nomical to use potash fertilizer than
to depend upon farm manure to keep
up the supply Of this element. From
one hundred to two hundred pounds
per acre Of a potash fertilizer is suf-
ficient for clover; alfalfa requires
three hundred to five hundred pounds
per acre. This may be applied as a
top dressing in the spring or fall after
the crop is started.

Use Acid Phosphate
to Increase Alfalfa
Tried With Satisfactory Re
suits in All Gases.

prepared by tho United States Department
Of Agriculture)
Farmers visiting the Yuma reclama-
ton project near Bard, Calf, have
been impressed with the results OBJ
tanned by the United States Departs
ment Of Agriculture in it's investiga-
tons to determine the causes of the
apparent decline in yield of alfalfa
hay during the last few years. Simple
fertilizer experiments indicated that
where alfalfa was making unsatisfac-
phosphate could be used to very good
advantage. Furthermore, preliminary
tests indicate that seed production
may be materially increased through
the application Of acid phosphate.
The farmers have tried acid phos-
phate on their own fields with such
satisfactory results in practically all
cases that the demand for the fer
tilizer has increased each year. APP
proximately $50 tons of 16 per cent
acid phosphate was sold to the project
farmers In 1924. This is equivalent,
to 250 pounds per acre on 1000 acres.
All the tests showed a marked i'm
provement in the growth of alfalfa
from applications of acid phosphate.
There seemed to be little preference be-
tween 16 per cent and A per cent acid
phosphate, providing equivalent guam
titles Of phosphoric acid were applied.
This being the case, says the depart
ment, it would appear that the farmer
should use which ever form Is the
cheaper based upon the relative pro-
portions of this element.

Manure Allowed to Pile
Up Loses It's Fertility

There is always loss when manure
is permitted to pile up-be it summer
or winter. The loss in the warm
months Is apt to be heavier than in
the case of winter-stored manure ex-
cept where the latter is held with no
protection from the weather. But In
summer, whether manure is kept un.
der cover or not, 1t is certain to lose
considerable of its fertility through
heating. This is purely bacterial and
chemical change. The most effective
way to check it is to keep the waste
slightly moistened. But better than
this is to get it to the fields If possible.
1t is no failure In. economy to fer.
tilize grass plots which one plans to
pillow In the fall or following spring.
If manure be applied directly to the
grasses in small amounts and thinly
spread no loss of fertility elements
will occur. Distribution is always bet
ter than allowing the waste to pile up,
although If properly protected it can
be held for short periods without serl-
Gus loss.

Great Preventable Loss
in Using Common Sires

A great preventable loss In Amer
lean animal productions is in the low
quality of the sires used, says the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture. In no other phase Of ami
NAL husbandry Is 1t possible to make
such direct, such marked, and such
profitable improvement at such slight
cost as In the use Of superior pure
bred sires.
Records Of the becf-cattle breeding
work at Sni-a-Bar farms. Jackson
county, Me-, furnish examples of the
value Of good bull. Common cows
In calf to common bulls were pur-
chased as foundation stock for the
demonstration farm. These cows were
later bred to pure-bred beef bulls. The
frst-class steers brought So hun
dredweight more than the common
steers.
Since the dams of the two lots were
essentially the same and the methods
Of feeding and marketing were identi-
cal, the difference Of So hundred
weight in their value may be fairly
attributed to the superiority of the
pure-bred sires used for the first cross
as compared to those used on the
farm from which the foundation cows
were purchased.
At the average Of 1000 pounds live
weight for the animals, an increase
Of 81 hundredweight in the value at
marketing time Of the offspring of a
pure-bred bull brings an increased
value Of $240 a year on crop Of
IL calves If 1t is assumed that the
heifers improved equally with the
steers.

Soy Beans Prove Great
Value as Swine Forage

Ten years ago soy beans were little
grown in Missouri. At that time the
college of agriculture was expert
menting with hundreds Of strains and
varieties, trying to determine the eco
nomic possibilities of the. crop for Mis-
souri, farmers and trying to select out
of this large number the best strains
and varieties.
Today Missouri farmers grow $780,
900 acres of soy beans for seed and
forage and 100000 acres In corn for
hogging down and for silage. Eighty
five per cent Of this great acreage is
seeded with four varieties determined
by the experiment station to be the
best among the hundreds tested.

who are born blind may be relieved.
"Opthamologists have been expert

been proven that normal eyes can be
transferred from animals Of the lower
