FOR THE FARMERS . - Items of Interest to the Farmers of Adams County. Word had recently been received • from Dr. Haskins who is in charge of the tuberculosis in cattle eradication , work in this state, to the effect that the government veterinarian will be In the county during the first half of . February. At this time the herds which contained reactors on the first . test will he given the second test. Those herds which have been signed ■ up but not yet tested will be given the | first test at this time. Several inquiries have come into the I ! office lately regarding sweet clover, its adaptation to this locality, methods of seeding, etc. Price lists have been receive from different sources, as well as other information regarding this crop. These will be sent out upon request. More Legumes Needed for Farms. It is a recognized fact that Indiana needs more legumes for profitable crop production and permanent fertility of the soil. A survey of the state shows ; that there is less than one to 17 per eent. of legumes grown yearly in var- ’ ious counties of the state, which means that in some counties there is less [ than one crop of legumes to 99 of 1 other rotated crops. In a three-year ■ rotation there should be at least 33 j per cent, of legumes and in a fourI year rotation not less than 25 per cent. in the cropping system, says R. S. Thomas of the soils and crops section of Purdue university agricultural extension department. On three of the experimental fields over the state, big differences in favor of clover are shown on corn, wheat and hay in the three year rotations of corn, wheat and clover, and corn, wheat and timothy. Even larger in- | creases are noted where the corn, wheat and clover rotations have been fertilized with manure and commercial fertilizer. Decided results are also shown on the Purdue farm at Lafayette where corn is grown after a legume as compared to corn after wheat. A difference of 9.1 bushels per acre is shown on a five-year average from 1916-1920 in favor of corn after legumes. Wheat after soybeans also shows a big increase in yield over wheat after corn, which is the result of three rotations for five years or fifteen crops. Over Score Registered at Course. More than a score of persons already have registered for the first of the series of three tractor short courses which will be given at Purdue university. The first will start January 31 and continue until February 12. The next ones will be February 14 ’ to 26 and February 28 to March 12.
