Successful Way to Kill
Biennial Sweet Clover

As yet no successful way of killing
all of the biennial sweet clover plants
in field by blowing in the fall of the
first year of growth has been found.
The Iowa experiment station has
searched diligently among sweet
clover growers of long standing and
the United States Department of
Agriculture has conducted rather ex-
tensive tests at Redfield, S. D., but
to no avail.
While no scheme of treating the
clover, blowing, or other treatment Of
the soil. is entirely successful in kill
ing all of the plants, when blowing is
done in the fall, many who ore grow
ing sweet clover with all of their
small grain for hay and soil improve
ment, fall pillow part or all Of the
sweet clover acreage in the fall of The
first year of growth.
In sections where corn is regularly
listed the sweet clover is plowed late
in the fall and the plants which are
not killed are eradicated with COM
parative ease by the regular process
of cultivation. Moving more soil and
cultivating deeper in listed corn
makes this possible.

Best Windbreak Provided
by Patch of Evergreens.

Protection of the hive is a two
sided job since it means not only pro-
lection against cold, but also against
wind. Apiaries situated where there
is a good windbreak will do we'll. The
best windbreak is afforded by ever
greens which allow the wind to sift
gently through the apiary. A Slated
fence is good, but solid breaks are in
efficient, often diverting the wind
without checking its force.
In most localities, the hives should
also be packed in some efficient way.
Where warm days occur frequently
enough to allow the bees to fly, good
packing is given by leaf or straw-hlled
chicken wire nets, cut to surround the
hives on three sides. The packing ma
terial should be as thick as possible
at least six or eight inches-and come
well up about the hives. A leaf-tllled
super placed over 5urlap covering the
frame makes a snug top packing. The
nets may be tied about the hives with
bailing wire, crossing the fronts, and
attached to Stats nailed at the edges
of the nets. Hive entrances must be
contracted to about two inches.
In colder regions, where long,
closed winters are the rule, cellar win
tering is observation-disclosures necessary

Fall Care Big Factor /
~ in Wintering Pigs

Pig growers have found that if fail
pigs are given proper care during the
last of September, through October,
and the early part of November. they
are very likely TO come through the
bad winter weather in good condition
and be ready for the early spring
market. .s
Every effort is made to keep the
young pigs growing rapidly, explains
w. c. Shelley, assistant animal hus-
bandman at the New Jersey Agricul-
tural experiment station. AS soon as
the pigs begin to take an interest in
food other than that provided by the
sow a creep is Eailt. This is a small
enclosure which allows the pigs TO
feed by themselves, away from the
SOW. Corn and tankage is kept before
the pigs at all times as this prevents
any setback at weaving time. Good
fall pasture also is big help, or, if
that is not available, the cuttings of
any kind of green stuff are provided
to help strengthen the pigs constitu-
tons.

Average Pioneer Not Good
Farmer Because of Lack
of Experience.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
In American experience new 1arm-
ing regions are likely TO be character
lied for a generation or two by meth
DDS of agriculture which result IN
gradually reducing yields. The aver
age pioneer is not good farmer, not
because he does not want to be, but
partly because he has not the expert
ence and knowledge of his farm and
it's potentialities in crops under the
methods proved best by time and trial,
and partly because the abundance and
cheapneSS of land in newly developed
regions is not favorable TO intensive
methods of utilization or careful hus-
banding of soil resources. Only after
this period is past does agriculture In
such regions attain a stage of deVel-
Opment characterized by increasing
yields per acre.
Crop Yields Decline.
This, substantially, is the conclusion
reached by B. o. Weitz, of the bureau
of agricultural economics, United
States Department of Agriculture. He
supports this with facts that fly in
the face of the common belief that
crop yields per acre have been de-
Ginning as the virgin fertility of the
fields has been exhausted. Depart
ment statistics show that in 40 years
the combined acreage of corn, wheat,
oats, and potatoes has been expanded
about % per cent. The total prOduc-
ton of these four crops has increased
u per cent. This means that third
of the increased production is the re-
suit of better yield per acre.
Eastern Farms Not Worn Out.
Again, contrary to common belief,
he finds the figures show that most
of the increases in acre yields have
occurred in the older farming regions
east of the Mississippi river, thus dis
proving another erroneous impression
that farms in the older areas of the

United States in general have become
worn out" In the case of corn, Vir-
ginia, Maryland, the New England
states, Iowa and Minnesota are named
as states recording gains of from o
to IA bushels In the average yields
per acre. Mr.. Weitz concludes that in
the course of time, as the farming
communities become accustomed to
the possibilities of their fields, develop
suitable strains Of plants, learn profit
able use of fertilizers and wise crop
rotations, that acre yields in he
humid northeastern portions of the
United States may approach the pres
ent standards in northwestern Europe.
In the dryer sections of the United
States the acre yields will be limited
necessarily by the moisture available
to the crops.

Home Orchard Fruits

The planter of a home orchard is
inclined TO diversity toe much in the
kinds of fruit he plants. The fruits
that are most adapted to the various
parts of the state are apple, sour
cherry, grape, and strawberry. The
pear should not be planted in a re-
giOn where apples are grown. Peaches
are very uncertain. On a site where
one crop in three years may be har-
vested, this fruit may be planted for
home use. Plums have very many
pests and are short lived OF all the
fruits, the grape is most likely to be
successful in the hands of an anna
teur. .-- .-...- 81 ~

Glover and Alfalfa

Sowing sweet clover in the fall Is
hardly ever successful, because large
part of the sweet clover seed re-
quires considerable time to take up
moisture before it will terminate: and
as it must be covered shallow, it is not
often that moisture conditions are IA
vorable for getting it started and
kept growing until It is rooted deep
enough to get enough moisture. Al
falfa is easily started in the fall usu-
ally, because less moisture is re-
quired.
