WORK FEWER ACRES lly J. M. OAHMIItK ' (Copyrighted.) I urn goiiig to wander from my story long enough to talk about some thing else In thla letter. There Is one way farmers can produce for leas, that Is to woik fewer acres and to work t heiii. thoroughly, thereby free ing the inert nitrogen and phosphate in the xvll. Frequent cultivation of the summer fallow plowing early and the Inert nitrogen, the most needed of all soil fertilizers. I deem it a better way to. plant corn In rown I drilled ), the width of a grain drill, straddling the trow next the wheels when seeding to small grains, wheat, rye etc. The corn shades the ground and frequent cultivation lyild soil moisture, liberates plant food, and th following crop will he greatly In creased. Cut and haul the fodder oft the field. After the corn is husked save the fodder, standing it vertically In mows or a barrack on floors one spoil If stood vertically, and It. makes the bcHt of rough feud. Cornstalk contain much sugar, and sugar Is rat tening. The cost of every bushel of grain and every pound of meat t Ilu farmer produces tell I he story. If he has prod med economically lie may have something left for profit. Sometimes It Is not possible to produce econom ically.
