Life in the Country-Filly Goes Frolicking

Our thoroughbred filly gave me a
demonstration of what she can do
with a fence the other day, and left
me standing hopelessly in the barn
lot, dangling lead rope. It looked
as though we might have a steeple-
chaser on our hands.
We thought the barn lot fence
was high enough, and that If she
were turned out of her stall she
would 60 quietly down to her pad
dock. We found, however, that four
and a half feet were nothing. She
went over the fence with a good foot
to spare.
She enjoyed that first fence, and
then she took the water jump, down
by the elm tree, and on to the brush
jump-about four feet of wire
covered with thick mat of honey
suckle. She liked this one so we'll
that she turned around and took it
again, just for the spirit of the
thing.
She covered almost all of our 40
acres, with name flying and tail in
air. Occasionally she would run up
and stop. close to where I Stood but
would kick her heels and be of
again to the back side of the place.
This went on until she tired of the
sport and came up and nudged me
for her oats. 1t looked for a time
like might be chasing her for a
week, since Loudoun County is a
pretty big range.

Bennett Shows Gain
In Montgomery Area

H. II. Bennett, chief of the Soil
Conservative Service, escorted two
Representatives of the Union Of
South Africa on a tour Of Mont
gomery County farms recently
demonstrating to them the value OF
practices that gradually convert the
old-type soil-depleting farm meth
DDS into the more advanced cul-
lures in use today.
| Ambassador large Charles te
Water and Louis Gerber were his
guests.
Most of the time was spent in the
hilly dairy region. Said DR.. Ben
nett of the trip: mot many years
ago this country was fast taking on
a rundown look because of too
much soil erosion. More recently
the use of grass. strip cropping and
contour cultivation have
checked the wastage and changed
the aspects of the country.
THE many advantages of the work
make you wonder why man hesi-
tated so long to treat the land kindly
and protect it with soil saving and
soil improving measures. The fact
that it is easier and cheaper to farm
this way only adds to the difficulty
of understanding why man has been
so slow in seeing the advantages OF
soil conservation"
The group visited steep areas
badly eroded and good for little but
wildlife cover. the Triassic belt OF
shallow, droughty lands, and the
stony lands of the Conowingo bar
rens."

Culpeper Tract Devoted to Grass

cultivator that attaches to the rear
Of the tractor-in tearing up old
sod and preparing the ground for
fresh grass seeding. A disc also
is used in preparing the seed bed
| But the principal machine on the
Clark farm is field chopper. This
machine picks up the grass from
Windrows, chops it and blows it into
a dump truck. 1t is then hauled to
the barn and blown either into the
silo or the haymow. where it is
dried by artificial means.
The Clarks depend mostly on al
falfa for ensilage and hay. This
means that about 100 acres are kept
in alfalfa. A stand usually lasts
about Eve years, so the Clarks di-
vide their alfalfa acreage into five
20-acre plots. Thus 20 acres are
seeded each fall. This plan reduces
the cost and labor of planting q
large acreage in any one year.
In addition to their agronomy ex-
periments, Mr. Clark and his son
became interested in the hybrid
dairy cattle being developed at the
Agriculture Departments expert
ment station at Beltsvilie. Md, and
are doing a little breeding OF
their own
While their herd consists mostly
of HolsteinS, they are now crossing
these on Jerseys and Guernseys
Some of the calves from these
crosses look pretty good but none so
far have come into production.
All considered, the Clarks have
an interesting time at the profession
Of farming. For they always are
willing to bring an open mind to
the problems of agriculture.

Supplies of Nitrogen
Under Estimates

The Agriculture Department has
reported that despite a generally
brighter outlook for fertilizer this
year, prospects for nitrogen are only
slightly better and supplies will con-
tinue tight.
The department said that instead
Of an earlier estimate that nitrogen
supplies would increase by about lC
per cent. it is expected that these
supplies will level off at about 7 pei
cent more than the previous fiscal
year.
The change in the supply pic
ture, it was said, resulted from un-
foreseen operating difficulties and
production problems that have tend
ed to curtail output at few plants
The department said phosphate
supplies for fertilizer purposes are
expected to reach 2,10O, 900 tons, anc
potash. 100000 tons, both figures
are an increase.
The department said nitrogen
supplies will constitute the most
troublesome problem. Farmers were
warned not to put off until the last
minute the making Of arrangements
for essential supplies.

We have taken the wire cover

There are lots of things he can

can just put the milking machine
on the front porch and the new
barn and chicken house out on the
hill beyond the house And if he
happens to have any extra fencing
in his sleigh. we would be happy
if he just piled some in the yard.
We don't like to ask too much
of the good saint, but If he has

snseial pIsnateh 10 The siar

CULPEPER, Va, Dec. 18.-The
Clarks-C. F. and his son, c. F., jr.
who farm $50 acres near here
threw away their plows almost 10
years ago and have been showing
their neighbors how to get along
just as we'll without them.
The Clarks are the type of men
who keep agriculture stepping ahead
They are readers, and are not afraid
to try on their own land some OF
the theories they hear about.
Their plows went into the discard
soon after Edward H. Faulkner S
controversial book, 'Plowman's Fol.
ly," was published. 1t looked tc
the Clarks like Faulkner had a point
"a point that would decrease farm
labor and make country life more
pleasant.
I'VE grow nothing but grass -
is the way the Junior Clark ex-
planned it. I'VE grow grass for hay
grass for the silo and grass for pas
ture. I'll bet hauled 500 truckloads
of grass last summer. That is about
all We do around here during the
summer season"
How has grass farming on the
Clark farm paid? Pretty well, Mr..
Clark thinks. 1t has reduced the
number of machines necessary for
farm work, lowered labor costs and
the Clark dairy herd seems to like
the feed.

1t is hardly reasonable to expect
a creditable pruning job from a
dull knife or pruning shear or with
a broken saw. The wound such
tools leave heal slowly and with
difficulty and the likelihood of rot
entering Is so great that the job
is better left undone until suitable
tools are available.

This Week in the Garden

Continuing mild weather caused
many gardeners to worry about
bulbs that were pushing foliage
above ground, causing buds of early
spring Towering shrubs to swell, and
other plants to continue to grow
Winter freezes are likely to cause
some injury to all of these. The TO-
liage of the bulbs will most certainly
be injured; perhaps precocious buds
will be ruined. However, we can,
as soon as the ground freezes, cover
the beds with pine boughs or other
light mulching material and pro-
tect the exposed foliage from sun
and wind.
There is nothing that we can do
to protect the shrubs whose buds are
trying to open in time for the holi-
day season. The same applies to
plants that will not stop growing
they are apt to have their sappy
new growth winter-killed. This is
especially true of tender shrubs,
such as abelia and lockwood.
X
Winter time Is an excellent period
to study shrubbery and trees, not
ing those which have outgrown
