to all sorts of birds and animals,
and are used as resting spots by
migratory waterfowl.
Soil conservation helps the
fishing in streams by reducing the
amount of silt carried by streams
and deposited in stream bottoms.
A heavy silt load makes water
muddy and unsuitcd to game fish,
covers spawning bed and fills
holes. Nationwide, more miles Of
fishing water have been ruined by
silt from farmland than by indus
trial and municipal pollution put
together.
Certainly game and birds and
fish are worth something to the
community; so the farmer who
does these things is helping his
community as well as himself
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1954-08-19

lucky enough to have them al
ready present. Any type of cover,
be it woods, meadow, grain or
cultivated land, will have more
wildlife at the edges than in the
interior. Both birds and small
animals like these edges, where
they can skip easily from one
type of cover to another and have
access to different feeding grounds.
Every hunter and most everyone
else has noticed it, and wildlife
workers call it the border effect.
When you practice contour strip
cropping you greatly increase the
total length of broder between
different types of crops. Studies
made several years ago in Ohio
showed that the practice of strip
cropping alone almost doubled the
population of bird life.
Many conservation plans include
the planting Of trees on trees and
shrubs on very steep land or on
odd corners where cultivation does
not fit and pasturing is not practi-
cal. These areas provide food and
cover. They are especially valuable
for winter cover, for the trees are
usually evergreens. Also, they add
more border effect. Another good
conservation practice is the pro-
lection of woodland against graz
ing. An undergraZed woods is not
only better producer of timber
products and conserver of water;
it is a better feeding place and
home for wild things.
Farm ponds provide fishing
where there was none before, and
thus ease the fishing pressure on
streams and other waters. They
are attractive as watering places

red clover growth through the fall
and winter of the year that the red
clover is becoming established is a
poor practice in maintaining
stands
These research results show that
if enough moisture is available to
make hay cutting, this should be
made during the latter part Of
August in most sections of the
State. Hay should not be cut later
than The early part Of September.
The red clover should then he al
lowed to make some growth before
winter
If the red clover is too short to
make a hay crop, some Of the
growth can be removed by grazing,
providing the grazing is di5con-
tinued by October The red clover
then has an opportunity to recover
growth during the fall
The agronomists explain that
harvesting the new growth for hay
on pasture is better than leaving it
stand because the presence Of
grain stubblc and clover growth
tends to create conditions ideal for
weed growth, and insect, rodent,

Problems
Are Real
BY DR.. Poul Popenoe

Many q homemaker gets into
o rut, suffers from fatigue. be-
gins to brood over her dificul-
ties. and ends up by thinking
that there must be something
wrong with her. Mrs. J. seems
to have reached that point
when she writes me as fol-
lows:
I'm q housewife with three
children. ages seven, four.
and one. Each day I seem to
become more depressed and
disconnected. The thing I
brood about Is the fact that
/ never finished high school.
I've been married 10 years,
and I suppose I ought to know
where I stand by this time, 30
I guess there's something the
matter with me. My husband
is a college graduate. He has
never thrown this In my face,
but I have frequently con-
demned myself to his face
and just don't feel good
enough for him. I can never
be right in anything, never
win an argument, and he
never confides In me at all
or criticizes me or tries to
teach me. I have always had
an inferiority complex and
have been of a rather shy and
withdrawing type. I seemed to
overcome this In the first
years Of our marriage, but In
late years my huband's supe-
rior ability seems to make me
more concious Of my inferiority
than ever before. I'm 80
years old and shouldn't be
acting like a child, but I don't
know what to do to get out of
my misery"
Common Situation
I'm publishing Mrs. Us
letter because 1t represents
such q common situation. !
suppose there are a million
wives In North America who
might write one just ike 1t.
They would all ask what to
do, and the answer would be
"do something - do anything
and everything"
Maybe your husband doesn't
want to spend his time educat-
ing you. as you say, Mrs. j..
because he's satisfied with you
as you are. Most men marry
women who have less school,
ing than they themselves have.
It's no handicap to a mar
