acre farm near Culpeper, is an eX-
ample of the successful dairyman
who has turned to artificial methods
of hay drying. Mr.. Willis installed
the first electric dryer in the county
and almost lost his first crop of
alfalfa. This was not because of the
dryer, however, but because so many
of his neighbors came to see the
dryer in action that the cutting was
damaged by too much tramping.
Mr.. Willis estimates the cost of
curing his hay averages about ST 40
ton. This runs a little lower in
dry seasons and a little higher dur
ing wet weather.
The hay is usually cut in the aft
ernoon, left in the field overnight
and raked into windrows the next
morning. After a few hours in the
sun it is packed in the barn and
the dryer started. Mr. Willis says
he likes to get from so to 60 per
cent of the moisture out before
storage if possible.
Mr.. Willis says he packs about 7
feet of hay on the dryer at the
first cutting. After this has cured,
other cuttings are added until the
hay reaches about IS feet in the
loft. Alfalfa that was cut and
stored last May is almost as green
now as it was in the field.
So far our farmers have found
only one disadvantage to the cleo
trio dryer. 1t is ck-breaking job
to handle green hay. So now we
are waiting for the next scientific
Developments machine that will
do that Job for US.

Miss Venia Keller
|Spends % Years
In Extension Work

Miss Venia M. Keller, Maryland
State Home demonstration director,
this month will observe her 29th
anniversary in the Maryland Ex-
tension Service. During this period
she has been largely responsible for
the growth of extension work among
women to include every county in
the State.
A native of Iowa and raised on
Nebraska farm, Miss Keller came to
Maryland when only six counties
in the State had part time home
demonstration agents. At the pres
ent, all % counties have agents,
and five counties have full-time as
sistants.
In addition to her work as State
director, which includes the super
vision of specialists in nutrition.
clothing, home management, home
furnishing and State Girls Club
agent, Miss Keller also served on
many State committees. For three
years she served on the Organization
and Policy Committee of the Land
Grant Association, representing the
Northeast Region.
Miss Keller was graduated from
Wesleyan University and took grad
uate work at the University of Ne
5raska and Columbia University.
She gave up position as principle
of school in Nebraska to become
the first State Extension leader for
South Dakota.
Miss Keller began her extension
work in Maryland as home demon
stratlon agent for Dorchester
County, and nearly a year later was
made State leader.
In building more efficient Mary
land homes, Miss Keller said that
10 points must be considered. They
are health, economy, beauty, pro-
ductivity, hospitality. education, de-
votion. ambition, cooperation and
character.

Culpeper farmers, whose fields
are among the most fertile in the
country, realize that good soil is.
enough to meet the complex de-
mands of present day agriculture.
It's a saying here that "A farmer
has got to adjust or adjourn" If he
doesn't keep up with improved farm
ing methods he is liable to find him
self out of business.
In addition to the electric hay
drier, Culpeper farmers have ex-
perimented with a new hay roller.
This device, consisting of two adjust
able steel rollers, something like
clothes wringer. attaches to the
mower. AS the hay is cut, it passes
through the rollers which crush the
plant stems allowing the hay to cure
quicker and more thoroughly.
This machine has not yet been
perfected, but the idea is liked by
many dairymen and foreshadoWs an
other chronological advance in agri-
culture. BY quicker and more even
drying, more nutrients in the hay
are saved. This saving. in turn. re-
duces the dairyman's feed costs.
Driers Pay for Themselves.
The electric hay drier. which can
be installed at cost of from $3.50
to $3.50, will pay for itself in few
years, according to dairymen who
have them. In fact, one Culpeper
farmer estimated that the savings
on feed enabled him to pay for his
drler in a single year This, how
ever, is an unusual case.
The electric drier, consisting of a
series of air ducts built along the
barn floor through which air is
blown by an electrically driven fan,
accomplishes three objectives. It
takes the risk out of hay making.
conserves the protein content of the
hay and maintains, after curing. the
nigh nutrient content of the green
forage
In former years farmers were at
the mercy of the weather. If a per-
slstent rain set in the hay crop was
either damaged or lost entirely. The
hay dryer eliminates this danger
because, although not desira BILE.
wet hay can be stored in the loft
and cured by artificial means.
While this hay insurance is desir-
able, one of the most important Jobs
done by the dryer is the conserva-
ton of protein. Tests on alfalfa
hay. cured artificially, show that it
retains from IL to IA per cent avail
able protein, thus allowing the
dalryman to cut the protein in his
purchased dairy feed. Dairymen
here have reduced from a "a per
cent protein dairy mix to one con-
tanning from II to IA per cent.
This is where the saving enters
the picture, since protein supple
ments represent one of the dairy
mans highest costs.
Saves Carotene Content.
When alfalfa is cured artifcially
the leaves of the plant retain their
green color. This color, which is
lost largely when hay is left in the
fields to be cured by the sun, is high
in carotene, the nutritional element
in the feed. When carotene is lost
much of the value of the hay is
gone, and must be made up in other
feeds.

SWEET PEAS;
PLANTING POPPIES

From Mrs. r. B. p, Washington. J
Sweet peas should be staked as
soon as seeds break through soil
so that plants may cling to stakes
as small tendrils form. If allowed
to sprawl on the ground the growth
of vines will be checked.
Poppy seeds must be sown in the
open ground as soon as the ground
can be prepared. If sown late, fail
ure is likely to result unless seeds
are carefully watered and shaded.
