ECONOMIES ARE NOW REQUIRED Lower Fertility In Farm Lands Require New Practices Declining fertility, rising <o»t of production, and low prices of farm commodities have made necessary the important changes in cropping systems which are now appearing in many part of Missouri points out W. C. Etheridge of the Missouri College of Agriculture. We are acting upon the realisation that we must use our land especially the upland in systems of farming which coat less in operation. tn fertility, and In risk, and finally yield a total annual output wherein a living profit is more likely to be found than in the old systems whose lack of efficiency in these times is becoming very dear.’ A well developed program of livestock production is a necessary part of ihe new systems, for these drops are to be pastured to a degree far beyond that provided by the old cash crop system Some of them are to be pastured completely. All of them, except threshed wheat, are to be fed on the farm, and sometime* there is a price advantage In feeding even the wheat. Com men lai fertilisers are to be extensively used on the grain crops. Lime is a necessity In many place*. The grating down of the legumH or their consumption as hay and return to the land as manure. the nearly complete yearly coverage of the land by closelyUme4 rotation*, and the addition of mineral fertilisers and lime take excellent care of the land Practical wisdom from long experiences In farming, and the theories of soil fertility will agree with thia eoncluson. Constant, steady return*, though each return may not in Itself be large, add up to a good total. Thue continuous wheat-lespedeza gives cash plus long and heavy summer pasture; barley-soybean hay gives pasture and grain plus hay. Where , such a Short rotation Is accurately mat.aged in operation. and in disposal. its total output I* very im presslve. The production co*t I* comparatively low, a* plowing, cul- ; tlvation and harvesting are net nr- ’ ally much reduced in a pastureWANTED RAGS, Magazines. NewsKtn. Scrap Iron. Old Auto iatora.

farming system. Where lespedeza ; is used, its seed cost over u long period is almost negligible. I The safety of these system* I* comparatively high. Any of the crops Involved Is subject to some failures, but none of them faces a* many hazards as the average corn I < top. Most of them avoid the worst insect and disease enemies: and some of them - notably les- ; pedeza and soybean* — are nearly 1 free from all hazard* of the present time. The substitution of les- ’ pedeza for red clover eliminate* i the costly losses so frequently con- , fleeted with the clover crop. MODERN METHOD i IS DESCRIBED New Pasteurization Plan For Cider Eliminates Cooked Taste The easiest means of pasteurizing cider is to put It Into glass Jugs. jars, or bottle* then place these In a water bath and heat to KO degree* (Fahrenheit) for 15 to 20 minute* The container* should then be sealed, if they were not sealed previously cooled as rapidly a* possible, and stored for future use. This method will give the cider a slightly cooked taste, particularly If it contain* very much sediment or apple pomace. More modern pasteurization equipment permit* the use of what is know as "flash pasteurization ” I This process heat* the elder to al>out ISo degree* for only a few second*, after which It I* cooled and sealed in sterile containers. This qul. t pasteurization avoid* the cooked taste normally present I in pasteurized cider, but doe* require spec ial equipment. — W. R. Martin.
