Spreading Lime During
Winter Is Ideal Plan

1t is good practice to spread lime
stone during the winter where clover
will be seeded in oats or other spring
grain this coming season, says the
state college of agriculture at Ithaca.
N. Y. The rush of spring work often
makes 1t desirable to have the lime
on the land in advance, and If the
spring is cold and wet. this advantage
is emphasized.
1t is also good practice to haul
lime to the farm during winter. New
York dirt roads are not conducive to
cheap hauling in the spring. Larger
loads can be handled by sled than nv
wagon. Lime can be hauled home
sometimes instead of returning empty
after delivering farm products to
market.
Anything that can be done during
winter aids to get spring crops seeded
at the proper time in well-prepared
seedbed. Hauling lime to the farm
during winter may be insurance
against seeding clover on unIimed
sour soils. Seeding on sour soil may
result in losing the seed as well as
the clover hay. crop for 1929.

Practices to Follow in
Growing Alfalfa Crop

Alfalfa may be sown with seeding
Of oats, barley or wheat in the spring
in the same general way that clover
is seeded. About ten pounds Of seed
per acre will give a good stand when
properly put in. Alfalfa will not
grow well on land where both surface
and subsoil are sour, though it may
grow well when surface is sour If sub
soil is sweet. 1t is waste of seed
to sow it where the soil is sour at a
depth of much more than a foot or so.
until an application of limestone has
been made.
Alfalfa seed should be inoculated
before sowing if to be sown where in
Oculation from either sweet clover or
alfalfa is not present. Seed can be
inoculated by commercial cultures or
with inoculated soil.
Alfalfa is superior to all other clio
vers for every purpose for which clio
vers are grown. whether soil building
or feeding purposes.

Insure Profitable Corn
Crop by Repairing Planter

After the seed corn has been tested
and is ready to plant-then what:
Trust to luck that your corn planter
Is going to work all right, or test it
out and know what it will do?
The kernels of your seed corn may
be larger or smaller than last year
and different size plates will be re-
Quired. Or. if the ears have not been
tipped and butted and run through a
grader, there will be large percent
age of Odd-sized kernels that will
spoil the accuracy of the planter
Two kernels in one hill, three in an
other. four in a third, back again to
three or two will give the desired av-
erage of three kernels to the hill, but
the yield of corn will be injured by
the uneyenness of the stand. 1t has
been demonstrated that five kernels
missed per 100 hills of three kernels
each will mean loss of nearly five
bushels per acre, counting III ears to
buShel If the planter refuses to
work properly and drop accurately ii
is plainly evident that new machine
will easily pay for itself in a single
season.

Cost of Flowing
With Two Horses
Size of Field and Nature of
Soil Determine Time Re-
quired for Acre.

Although a three-hOrse team can
pillow more in day than a twc-horse
team. the, cost of blowing each acre
is higher with three horses. according
to figures on the cost of blowing and
the amount of labor used under diff
ferent conditions in New York. gath
cred by the state college of agricul
ture Mt Ithaca. N. Y. The cost of the
use Of the third horse is more than
the saving In cost of man labor How.
ever, II the third horse would be idle
1t is good practice to use 1t. and, too
BY using three horses enough time
may be saved to plant a crop earlier
or to plant more acres and thus in
crease the possibilities Of greater in
come.
Time to Plow.
The size of the field, the number
Of horses or the kind and size of trac
tor used, and whether the land is sod
or stubble determine the time required
to pillow an acre of land.
In blowing small fields, consider
able time is lost in making the turns
If fields are both small and irregular,
more time is lost. Large rectangular
fields take least time for each acre, for
less time is lost in turning and in
blowing the headlands.
Two or Three2
TwO-horse teams walk more slowly
md stop oftener than three-horse
teams. Most tractors pulling two
pl0ws travel faster than horses.
Further, no time is required for rest
ing when tractor is used. To pillow
one acre of sod with a two-horse team
takes from 51h to 7h hours. With
a three-horse team drawing a single
pillow, 1t takes from to hours; with
tractor and two-bottcm pillow. 1t
takes from 2 to .3h hours.
Stubble is easier to pillow than sod.
and it is not necessary to pillow so
carefully on stubble as on sod. An
acre Of stumble can be plowed in one
half to one hour less than can an
acre of sod, on the average. On the
basis of cost, custom rates for plow-
ing sod should be higher than for
blowing stubble land.

Plow Sweet Glover Under
Quite Early in Spring

In blowing under sweet clover for
corn. there has been much specula-
ton as to what is the proper time that
this should be done. Experiment
shows that little if anything is to be
gained by waiting later than April IL
At that time the amount of available
nitrogen in the soil has been variously
estimated at between 100 pounds to
1870 pounds per acre. equivalent to the
amount of nitrogen in IL tons Of
average farm manure.
Flowing sweet clover under late in
the season for corn is apt to have an
undesirable mechanical effect on the
soil by reason of the amount of coarse
and unrotted stems of the sweet
clover, which will form air pockets
and the corn will dry out.

Light Sandy Soil Best
Seed Bed for Potatoes

Rather light, sandy soil forms a
good seed bed for potatoes. but 1t
must be rich in plant food. Manure,
commercial fertilizers and legumes

of enriching the land for potatoes.
Owing to the abundance Of manure
on the dairy farms, potatoes as side
