Sweet Glover Harmful
in the Alfalfa Fields

Farmers who wish to sell good
quality of alfalfa seed cannot afford
to allow sweet clover plants to remain
in the crop. A few hours or days
spent in removing these plants will be
well repaid in the price received for
alfalfa seed. The plants can be pulled
or cut below the surface of the
ground. Most buyers of seed object to
the presence of sweet clover in al
falfa and small amount of it may re-
suit in rejected shipments, loss of
sales and various items Of expense.
Buyers of certified seed expect to
receive good seed and not a mixture.
Sweet clover is a hindrance to the
production of superior alfalfa seed.
Through the extensive planting of
sweet clover the seeds have become
very general in the ground and it has
become increasingly difficult to grow
alfalfa without some sweet clover ap-
pearing in the seed crop either from
volunteer plants in the field or from
handling the alfalfa after sweet
clover.

|Long-Row Garden
Big Labor Saver
Greatly Increases Amount Of
Vegetables One Man Can
Tend Properly.

One of the things that helps the
American farmer produce half of the
worlds food supply with one-tenth of
he worlds man-power is the long-row
vegetable garden, says B. L. Weaver of
he Horticulture division, college of
agriculture, University of Illinois.
''The chief item in vegetable produc-
ion is man labor. Long rows spaced
% allow the use Of horse or tractor
irawn tools greatly increases the
mount of vegetables that one man can
lend properly. If sod strips are left
at the ends of farm gardens, almost
all hand labor may be eliminated. For
he small, long-row garden the wheel
noe will greatly facilitate cultivation.
Enthusiasm Lacking.
Accustomed to out-of-door tasks,
the farmer lacks the enthusiasm that
his city brother manifests in garden
ing. The farmer is inclined to look
Upon the garden as a necessary evil,
and often confines 1t to a poorly
chosen site Of inadequate area, and
leaves the care of it to the wife. The
value of garden should give 1t the
best site available and an area suffi-
cient to supply the needs Of the fam
lily throughout the season.
"In a Missouri experiment with a
large and small garden, over three
year period, net yearly average re-
turns were: for the large garden, one
fourth acre, $134.17; for the small gar
den, one-twentieth acre, $47.2S. On
the basis of man labor, these gardens
paid $1.76 and $1.63 respectively for
every hour spent in their care. In
addition to its economic value, the
garden furnishes supply of healthful.
nutritious food of the highest quality
available for consumption.
Adequate Plan Essential.
1.-THE best results cannot be OBJ
tanned without an adequate plan for
the garden operations. Such a plan
is given in Circular 278 Of the college
of agriculture, University Of Illinois.
Approximate planting dates, the kinds
and varieties to use, the amounts of
seed required, and a detailed plan are
given. By little study, the plan may
be adapted to gardens Of varying size
and shape.
variety selection, companion and
succession cropping, good seed and
good plants, soil fertility, cultivation,
and insect and disease control are all
factors in the making of productive
long-row garden on the farm or the
city lot. Neglect Of one or more OF
the factors mentioned will decrease
the productivity of the garden. A good
site, good season, plus little study
and work assures garden that one

Facts for Poultrymen
Found in Experiments

Extensive investigations in breed
ing and feeding of poultry were car
ried on by the bureau of animal in
dustry, United States Department of
Agriculture, during the last fiscal
year, according to report of the chief
of that bureau. In experiments with
Rhode Island Reds and Single Comb
White Leghorns for increased egg pro-
duction, there was higher proper
ton Of 200-egg records than during
any previous year.
Other experiments with poultry in
volved chick mortality, hatchability
and fertility of eggs, inheritance of
egg production, and various expert
ments in feeding for egg production.
In feeding tests for egg production, it
was found that emitting limestone, a
shell-forming ingredient, from the ra-
ton, reduced egg production so per
cent.
