COUNTY AGENTS N0TE3 V i These warm daya are drying the soil very rapidly and where one Is to do Irrigation it la necessary that water be applied immediately tor best results. ...Water should applied before there Is any indication of dry ness, and thus not stop the growth of plants and. require more , than normal quantity ot water to get back to the required stage of dampness. At the same time one should be very cautious about over-Irrigation, which la Just as serious, or more so, than under-lrrlgation. The danger of over trrtgatloa la sandy soils Is that it will leach out the valuable available plants foods, while on the heavy soils it results In water-logging and ac cumulation of alkali. Water-logging causes rotting off ot roots where they have not already formed. A ahallow rooting plant is not resistant to drouth, whereas the main thing to develop In any arid plant is a deep rooting system that Is a drouth re sistant With over-Irrigation the crop yields are lower for each unit of water used. More plant food Is takes np by the plants tor each pound of dry matter produced. The qual ity ot crops Is reduced and there Is a higher proportion ot plants In pro portion of fruit or grain produced. Extension of the Irrigated area Is reduced and other dry land Is cheat ed of Its Irrigation water. A perman ent system of irrigation agriculture depends on the economical use ot ir rigation water. If we can save SO per cent ot the water now used, It will mean that we can , practically double the Irrigable area. A survey ot 300 farms In Lenawee county, Michigan, indicates that the farmers of southern Michigan keep a horse, on an average, 8.5 years and sell him for $18.68 less than he cost. Similar studies In Pennsylvania In dicate that the farmers in that dis trict keep s horse, on an sversge, 12.1 years snd sell him for $29.34 less than he cost. , It you are bothered with a patch of fern in your pasture, try the follow ing: Mow the fern patch off about the middle ot this month, Jus( as the spores are beginning to mature, and repeat the process about the middle of August before the. second crop of spores have a chance to spread. As soon ss the cut ferns are dry burn them over to lessen the vitality of the root stock. After cutting and burning sow the ground with pasture grass snd clover. Adding. a little fertilizer will no doubt . help. You will not thus eradicate the fern, but you will get It In check until the pas ture grass gets a start. C D. THOMPSON, County Agent. ENGLAND'S TRIBUTE ID KITCHENER London, June 13.
