When to Sow
Hard Seeds

Hard seeds terminate best when
sown at time of the year when seed
ing is not part Of the regular farm
routine, late fall, midwinter or very
early spring, so that they may be ex-
posed to the weathering of thawing
and freezing. These are the conclu-
sions advanced by DIR. David Schmidt,
a research fellow of the agricultural
college Of the University of Wiscon-
sin.
Hard seeds are those which for
some reason not well understood,
have harder, and thicker coatings
than their fellows and for this rea-
son are impermeable to moisture
necessary to termination at the same
time as their thinner coated brothers.
Botanists have advanced a theory
that this is a trick of nature to per-
petuate a species, so that IL the
original and main termination of the
seed crop is destroyed there will be
hard seeded survivors to terminate
at later date.
Whatever is the cause or the rea-
son for them. Doctor Schmidt says
they are distinct problem of agricul-
ture and have been so for the last
half century and one that has proved
troublesome to the seed trade which
has tried scarification, roughing the
seeds, and other means to increase
their terminating power.

Farm Pendulum
Swings to the East

For a whole generation and more,
during the final winning Of the West,
Eastern farmers had sore need to
draw what comfort they might from
the ancient bit of philosophy, This,
too, shall pass away" For it was no
normal agricultural competition
which they had to meet, but rather
the forced production Of half a ma
ton of desperately land-hungry men
men whose faith in the ultimate
value of their western lands was so
great that they willingly underwent
almost incredible hardships and pow
erty in order that they might hold
title to their lands, men whose one
and only answer to a falling price
was to produce more and ever more
and sell it for whatever it would
bring.
The faith of the westerner in his
land was not misplaced. Faith in
good agricultural land never is. He
has seen its value climb steadily up
ward to 5000 and more per acre. Con-
sequently, he no longer has the in
centive to produce and sell regardless
of present profit, merely for the sake
OF holding on for the increase In val
ue. His interest has shifted. He
must now farm for present profit, in

Among the most important of these
minute organisms are the azoto-

clovers. peas, and other legumes and
form the nodules on the roots. These

on these roots. They are not para

science as SYMPTOMS or symbolic

with another and cannot live without
it.
We give the soil fertilizer to feed
the bacteria, particularly the azoto-
bacteria. They aid in breaking down

We put fertilizer into the soil the

to the late DR.. Cyril G. Hopkins of
the University of Illinois, one pound
of azotobacteria eXhale 1.27 lbs. of
carbonic acid gas in "a hours. while
a man weighing $50 lbs. and doing

we're in substance as follows:
Nitrogen in the fertilizers applied

many rains since the drouth and has
largely disappeared through teaching,
erosion or through the absorption Of

Much of the potash applied last
snring has been carried by rain water
IN lower depths. where it has entered
into physical or chemical combina-
TONS that render it less available to

Good Floor For
Poultry House

Eight inches of cinders, gravel or
crushed rock covered with about two
inches of rich cement will make a
cheap but ideal floor for the poultry
house. The porous material under
the cement will tend to keep the floor
dry. The filling should be tamped
until it forms a solid base for the
concrete.
Hollow tile forms perhaps a more
satisfactory base for the cement,
and only one-half inch OF cement is
needed TO cover a carefully laid floor.
1t is more expensive than the other
filler. 1t should be laid on a layer
Of sand and then covered with rich
cement to make a smooth surface
which IS more easily cleaned.
