Farm Manure Is Subject
to Tremendous Losses

Farm manure is subject to tremen-
dous losses from teaching and fer
mentation if it is improperly handled.
If piled in loose heaps where it is ex-
posed to the rain, large part of the
nitrogen and more than half of the
potash will leach away. Also, under
such conditions, the manure ferments
rapidly, with the result that still more
of the nitrogen escapes in the form of
ammonia. If the manure cannot be
hauled directly to the fields as pro-
duced, it should be kept under shelter,
and in a moist compact condition. An
excellent plan is to have a manure
shed where the manure is placed when
it is taken out of the stable. Calves
and other stock should be allowed ac-
cess to this shed, and in this way the
manure is kept thoroughly packed.
The least loss will occur when the ma.
nure is kept moist, compact, and un-
der shelter.

In Planting Young Trees
Firm the Soil TIGHTLY

Firming the soil tightly around the
roots of young forest seedlings when
they are planted is the most impor.
tant single item in assuring a good
start and healthy growth the first
year. After the seedlings roots are
covered with earth, the person doing
the planting should lamp 1t in place
by a downward thrust of his heel.
When seedlings are planted on soils
that have heavy sod that produces
a rank growth each year, it is often
necessary to remove some of the sod
so the grass will not smother or choke
the little tree; ten-inch square is
usually enough and the tree should
be planted in the center of the space.
On thin. wornout soils such as old
pastures, however, it is necessary only
to make slit in the sod with a grub
hoe and insert the roots Of the seed
ling.

incubation Needed
for Soy Bean Crop
Furnishes Bacteria Nodules
on Roots of the Plant.

One of the greatest values of the
soy bean crop will be missed if those
who plant soys fail to inoculate the
seed, says X. G. Hartman of the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. Inoc-
ulation furnishes the bacteria that
form nodules on the roots of the soy
bean and take nitrogen out of the
air. This is important because it
furnishes nitrogen supply for the
plant and also makes it possible for
the soy bean to grow without draw
ing so heavily on the soil for this ele-
ment
Soy beans require an average of GO
pounds of nitrogen for each ton OF
growth. When they are not inOcu-
lated all this must come from the
soil the same as it does in case of
a corn or wheat crop. When they are
inoculated and nodules form in album
dance on the roots 40 pounds of this
60 Is taken from the air and 20 from
the soil. Nitrogen sells on the fer
tilizer market at 80 cents pound.
incubation then saves the soil $12
worth of nitrogen for each ton of
growth.
Another advantage of using inocu-
lation Is that on poor soils the soy
beans will make much better growth
where there is good formation of
nodules on the roots,
incubation may be secured from
the soils department of the Missouri
College of Agriculture at Columbia
at % cents for enough incubation to
treat one bushel of seed. This sup
plies the seed for one to three acres,
according to the method of planting.
When one realizes what it saves the
soil in fertility and how it improves
the chances for better growth of soy
beans this makes the expenditure of
Is cents a very profitable one.

Use Production Records
to Boost Sale of Cows

Putting dairy cows in dairy herd
improvement, or cow testing, associa-
ton and getting definite records on
them as milk butterfat producers may
add as much as SIS a head to their
value. This is the opinion of at least
one of the many members of dairy
herd improvement associations in Illi-
nois. He is a member of the assoeia-
ton in Knox county and recently
when he held sale of dairy cattle the
record of each cow was announced as
she was led into the ring. He declared
afterwards that the average selling
price of the cows was increased at
least SIS head by announcing the
records.
In another case, records on the per-
Torrance Of the cows were credited
with having added $50 to sale aver
age. Cows in this sale brought an
average of $125 a head. After the sale,
some of the remarks heard around the
ring were: Herd Improvement asso-
citation records sure helped those
cows" IF it hadn't been for those
records, those cows wouldn't have
averaged more than $75." "He made
enough on one cow to pay all his dairy
herd improvement association COSTS"
The owner himself said, "My cows Ger.
tainly sold good and the records
helped lot"
Higher prices for surplus cows at
the time they are sold is but one OF
the several ways in which dairy herd
improvement association members
cash in on the value of testing, accord
ing to ]. H. Brock, assistant in dairy
extension at the college Of agriculture,
