One Rain Shows =
Terracljing Value al
One Field Is Terraced and
the Other Quilted

A comparison of two fields near
Mankato, Kans., during a recent
rain. brought out strikingly the
value of terraces. The fields were
of about the same size and slope.
One field was terraced and one
was not. -
Run-off from these two fields
was measured by the soil conser-
walton service and the quantity of
silt carried by the water was de-
termined. More than 80 times as
much surface soil was removed
from the unterraced field as from
the terraced field. The water run
ming off from the unteraced field
was muddy brown, but the water
coming out o fthe terrace chan
nels was relatively clear. :,
The appearance of the two fields
Immediately after the rain also
presented a contrast. The terrac-
ed field was covered with minia-
ture 1akes-water that was soak
ing into the ground and being
stored in the subsoil. The inter
raced field was. covered by thou
sands Of miniature gullies-each
one carrying valuable moisture
and soil away from the field.
The soil conservation service
emphasizes, however, that terrace
inc is only one of several effec-
tive methods to control soil ero-
sion and that all terraces on cul-
tiyated land should be supplement
ed by proper crop rotations and
tillage methods.

EGG MAKING
FEEDS NEEDED
IF Hens LAY
Hens Among Profitable
Projects: Only Big Pro-
ducers Worth Feeding
,By G. D. WHITE
Henderson County Farm Agent


If. the poultry project is to be
successful, we must feed for egg
production. An egg is made up of
the following substances and the
feed which furnishes the materials
for making these substances:
Water, &C per cent $500 furnish
plenty Of clean fresh water. Don't

of this is in the yolk, and made
from grain and starchy feeds:
Lime. II per cent-nearly all OF
this is in the shell. From the
above. one can readily see. that We
need not expect any egg unless
we furnish the hen egg-maKlng
feeds.

Pound in pound for weight,
poultry eats more feed than any
livestock. Stacker hens and sur
plus cockerels can eat the profit
from YOUR grain feeding faster
than any animal you have on the
farm. About LII of all the gram
feed on the farms Of this county
is fed to poultry. Every year we
feed the poultry of this country
five times as much grain rs we
feed sheen. one-Seventh as much
rs we feed our hogs, and one-tmrd
as much as we feed our cattle.
Since such large proportion OF
our grain goes to feeding poultry,
and since non-producing hens have
such a capacity for eating up our
profit, isn't it worth our while to-
see that we keep the right kind OF
hens? The high producing hen
will eat more than the scrub, but
she will pay you for it, while the
scrub will not.
Egg production depends more
upon the amount and kind OF pro-
TEN eaten than upon any Other
feed. Hens are naturally grain
caters and will do well on almost
any grain mixture if they have
milk and meat scraps to go with
it. BY holding most of the gram
until the night feeding, we keep
the hens hungry and then force
them to exercise and to eat the
more concentrated protein feed
through the day. Keep the mash
hoppers we'll supplied with laying
mash. If the poultryman will fol

he need not worry about getting
eggs. Grow your own grain, buy
some good commercial egg mash,
or if your flock is large enough to
Justify it, you can buy Ingredient
and home mix your own laying
mash. But if you do this, know
that you are getting fresh ingred-
tents. Also buy only the best. l
believe though, for the poultry
man with less than 500 layers, it
would be best to buy from some
reputable manufactures. !
If we have good birds, q good
laying house, good feed, with good
management. poultry can be made
one of the most profitable prof.
ects on the farm.

Farmers should bear in mind
that terracing and subsoiling have
two advantages. First, they pre-
vent soil erosion; second, they aid
in conserving soil water that is so
vital to good crop production.
Farmers wishing to have either
of the above two methods of ero-

How many young hurlers. just COM
