Agricultural Notes

Statistical information gathered
by the u. S. Department Of Agri-
culture indicates that from 1918 to
1925 the number of cooperative
associations in the United States
practically doubled, that the MEM
bership increased more than 800
per cent, and the business about
275 per cent.
Ice is often an unsupported
source of errors in farm scales. In
alternately thawing and freezing
weather users of scales should be
on guard. Small amounts of ice
may seem unimportant but when
located on certain vital points of
the scale mechanism they may in
fluence the weights. Some times
under these conditions a scale will
give fairly accurate weights at
light loads, but not at heavy loads.
Soil erosion carries away 20
times as much plant food as is re-
moved by crops. The real soil
miner" is not so much the one who
grows crop after crop of the same
kind without replacing plant food,
but rather the one who allows his
precious soil to be washed away,
his land to be quilted and de-
stroyed, and the top-soil to be
washed away by shee erosion.
Failure to terrace lands that are
subject to rushing waters is re-
spo,isible for much loss that might
be avoided.
