FARMERS SHOULD CUT
HAY EARLIER

The unusually early spring this
year makes one think of haymaking
somewhat earlier than usual Hay
is one of the most important crops
in Ohio, but also one of the most
neglected. Many Ohio farmers
could increase their returns from
the years operations by cutting
their hay earlier.
According to C. J. Willard Of the
Department of Agronomy Of the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, practically all kinds of hay in
Ohio, except alfalfa, are generally
cut later than is desirable, and even
alfalfa is often cut too late. Tim
othy is a fragrant example. Timothy
cut from the time it is in head to
early bloom makes reasonably sat
isfactory feed for sheep and cows,
but when cut, as is usually done,
with the seed in the dough, it is lit
tie better than corn stover.

Ohio; that is, clover should be cut

POTATOES RECOVERING AFTER
FROST INJURY

Most of the early potatoes inJur-
ed by the frost are recovering rap
idly. Even where the plants were
killed back to the ground new
shoots are appearing. The chief
danger now is that flea beetles may
riddle the new foliage.
According to Harry L. Gui of the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, Entomology Department, flea
beetles appeared earlier this year
and are more abundant than usual.
On frosted plants they are now con-
centrated on the remaining foliage
and are likely to riddle the new
growth before it can become estab
lished The best protection is to
keep the plants particularly Well
covered with spray or dust by apply
ing about four pounds of calcium
arsenate per acre each time.
Other condition which affect the
recovery of frosted potato plants
have been studied for the past three
years by John Bushnell, potato spe-
cialist at the Ohio Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station In seasons with
no serious frosts, some plants have
been moved off with a scythe. II
has been found that if the seed
pieces were rotted the plants never
recover, no matter at what stage
the tops were moved off, Fortu-
nately, in early paintings the seed
pieces usually remain sound until
midsummer.
When the tops were moved after
the plants were large enough to
have set tubers recovery was slow
and the plants never regained full
vigor Apparently by this stage the
seed pieces had been depleted OF
nutrients, even though they were

his tools and rested a bit while they
talked of the things that had taken
place in the small community since

The town of Marietta, named for

That spring was a time Of great
happiness to young Jonathan Chap

he saw that his mission was bearing
fruit. The tiny seedlings that he
had put out last year were budding
and giving promise of abundant
growth.
It was less than two years since
he had given up his home near
Pittsburgh, with it's beautiful or.

1t had not been an easy decision
for Jonathan to make. His own
comfortable home, with it's cool
bubbling spring, had been very dear
to him, and his orchard had been
his sole means of making a liveli-
hood, for Jonathan was a skilled
nurseryman.
But once his decision made, ne

west. 1t was extremely dangerous
country through which he must go
and everyone warned him against
travelling alone. Wolves roamed
through the forests, and everywhere
were hostile Indians.

Indians used, and on this he pulled

drag litter served also as raft in
crossing the numerous streams.
For food, other than corn, he

Is il at all possible.
Red clover seed has been scarce
and high priced, and clover seed is
almost always profitable crop. The
chance of getting a good seed yield
in the second cutting of red clover
is nearly doubled by cutting the
first crop early instead of waiting
till late in June, as is usually done.
These earlier dates of cutting do
not materially decrease the total

the total digestible nutrients har-

such few treasures from their home

Thanking God for their deliverance,
Jonathan and Betty spoke in whis-

Indians might again attack. At

But the work was not over for
