ESSENTIAL THAT CROPS FIT SOIL

Red Clover and Timothy Should Not Be Depended On Entirely for Maximum Crops.

REDTOP FAVORS MOIST GROUND

No Perennial Hay Plant Will Produce Well on Poor, Sandy' Soil Most Grass Seeds Are Small and Require Good Seedbed. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) While timothy and red clover undoubtedly are the best hay crops on good soils In the northeastern quarter of the United States, they should by no means be depended on to produce maximum yields of soils. Other hay crops are better suited and are' more dependable In some cases and under particular soil conditions. Alsike clover, for example, is better adapted to sour and moist soils than common red clover, and the two mixed together and seeded on some uplands often Insures a crop where the latter seeded alone would fall. Iledtop Is the best wetland grass and on such land a mixture of red-top meadow fescue, and alsike clover usually gives good returns. While no hay grasses can be depended upon to make a commercial crop on poor land, redtop, orchard grass, and tall oats-grass are better than any others. These are facts discussed In detail In Farmers Rulletin No. 1170, Meadows for the Northern States, Just Issued and ready for distribution by the United States Department of Agriculture. Has Bulk of Tame Hay Acreage. In that section of the United States, north of and Including Tennessee, and east of central Nebraska, Kansas and

the Dakotas, is found S3 per cent of

the tame hay acreage of the nation. Eighty-eight per cent of this acreage 13 seeded to timothy and clover. WhHe these two plants undoubtedly will continue to hold the popularity they now

possess, there are a number of other

plants which, though not so well known, are more desirable for particular purposes and for certain conditions

of soil and climate. The latter are

given special attention In the bulletin

Field of Bur Clover.

There Is lttie difference of opinion

as to the plants to be seeded on rich well-drained land. Timothy Is seeded

alone if the hay Is to be sold on the

market, and timothy and clover, often mixed with redtop, where part or all of the hay Is utilized on the farm.

Some of the advantages of these plants

are that they have good seed habits,

especially timothy and redtop. Red

clover Is a deep-rooted legume, and has a beneficial effect on succeeding

crops. -

Timothy Is considered by feeders the best hay for horses, and clover, or clover and timothy mixed produce

better yields and are excellent for cat

tie and sheep. The comparatively long period during which these plants may le left standing without serious rte-

lsfactory, but when It Is 'necessary this mixture gives best results. In some places In the Middle West sweet clover has given good results under unpromising soil conditions. Accord

ing to the bulletin, no perennial

hay plants will produce well on poor.

sandy soil. Under such soil condi

tions, however, some temporary crop.

such as rye or oats and peas, and, along the Atlantic coast, early sorghum and cowpeas, are preferable to perennial hay crops.

The best temporary hay plants are

the small grains seeded either alone or In mixture with some legume, such

as peas, 'vetch or crimson clover. Millets are sometimes used for this purpose, as are sudan grass and coarse forage, such as corn and sorghum. In

the northern states a combination of oats and Canada field peas makes a very good hay crop: Excellent results have been obtained In eastern Maryland and Virginia with the following

mixture: Oats, 1 bushel; hairy vetch.

30 pounds ; white-blooming crimson clo

ver, 10 pounds per acre. In order to avoid losing the use of land for an entire season, and to permit late-summer and early-fall seeding, grass crops usually follow small grains. The seedbed should be prepared as soon as possible after the grain Is harvested.. As a three-Inch mellow seedbed with firm soil beneath will give better results for summer seeding than one thatIs deeper, the disk harrow is usually used In place of the plow for preparing land for grass. Most grass seed- are "very small and must have a fine, mellow, well pulverized surface soil In order that the seedling may become established. A good seedbed may mean the difference between the success and failure of the hay "cop. Use Too Little Seed. Most farmers use too little grass seed for best results, according to the bulletin. Rich land with a well-prepared seedbed does not require as much seed as thin land or land poorly fitted. From 20 to 30 pounds of seed per acre are generally sufficient, and this rate is usually more profitable than lighter seedings of mixtures. Small-seeded grasses, such as red-top and timothy, do not require so heavy a seeding as orchard grass or rye grass. Usually 10 pounds of timothy or G pounds of redtop are sufficient when these are seeded alone. In order that the seed may get a good start, It is frequently advisable to apply some readily available fertilizer. Formerly the grain crop received the fertilizer, but experiments have demonstrated that when It Is applied to the grass It will not only Increase the yield of this crop but frequently show beneficial effects oa succeeding crops for two or three years. Top dressings of suitable manure will Increase the yield of hay, and there Is probably no better crop .than grass on which to apply It. A great deal of grass and clover seed Is wasted every year, from seeding on sour, or. acid soils. Applications of lime correct this condition, and should be made particularly where legumes are to be grown.

TO KEEP LABOR DATA

Saving Working Costs.

Farmer Enabled to Determine Num

ber of Days of Man and Horse Power Necessary to Produce an Acre of Any Crop.

A record kept of farm labor does not require much time, yet It Is often

the means of saving labor costs. The

labor records show Just how much labor and team work Is required on each crop and the time In the season when it Is used. They she aid show

what proportion of the Jabor Is devoted to work that produces an In

come and the amount that Is consumed

on odd jobs of unproductive tasks. This will enable the farmer to determine the number of days of man and horse labor necessary to' produce an acre of any crop, or the care of

ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh. Matt. 25:13.

REFERENCE MATERIAL Matt. ;24-Z7; 24:1-61; Eph. 6:10-20: I Tim. 6:17-13. PRIMARY TOPIC Being Ready. JUNIOR TOPIC Being Ready. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC

Prepared for Emergencies, YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC Christian Watchfulness.

This lesson Is a part of the well

known Olivet discourse, giving a prophetic view of the course of time from

its utterance, Just before the crucifixion to the second advent of Christ.

The order of events in that time are.

roughly speaking, as follows:

1. The moral condition of the world

during Christ's absence (24:1-14). This

Is the period covered by the parable

of chapter 1 3.

2. The appearance of the Antichrist (24:15-20). 3. The great advent (24:27-31), in which there will be mighty convulsions of nature, the mourning of the earth's tribes, and the gathering of the elect. 4. Warnings to God's people In view of the great advent (24:32-51), the tiiae of advent unknown and unexpected. 5. Instructions to saints In view of the unexpectedness of His coming (25: 1-3G). 6. The Judgment of the nations (25: 31-40). The present lesson Is one of the tvto parables designed for the Instruction of the saints In view of the coming of the Christ. It has a continuous application in the present time (I Thess. 4:10-18; Titus 2:11-13). I. The Foolish Virgins Took Lamps But No Oil With Them. (v. 3). 1. Lamps signify Christian profession (Matt. 5:10), and oil, the Holy Spirit (Zech. 4). Having the lamps and no oil shows that they were professors of religion without possessing Its reality. As soon as a man Is regenerated the Holy Spirit takes up His abode with Him. The proof that one Is a child of God Is that he has the

Holy Spirit dwelling within him. "If

any man have not the Spirit of Christ,

he is none of Ills." (Rom. 8:9). The

foolish virgins may have been of good moral character, but they were unregenerated. 2. The wise virgins possessed both lamps and oil (v. 4). They made a profession and backed it with a real

life of righteousness. These are the true believers. Hoth the wise and the foolish virgins slumbered and slept.

Their eyes had grown heavy and they

fell under the spell of sleep (v. 5).

This shows that as the Christian age

lengthened the real and professing

church would cease looking for the

coming of the Lord. It Is unspeakably

sad that so many even of God's saints,

wise virgins, should give up the ex

pectancy of the return of the Lrd.

II. The Coming Bridegroom (w. 6-

12).

1. The midnight cry (v. C). In the midKt of the night when all were asleep

the cry was made, "Behold the bride

groom cometh, go ye out to meet him

How s"ad It Is that the church has

lost her hope. Is not waking and

watching for the return of her Lord!

2. Activity of the virgins (v. 7). They all arose and trimmed their lamps. There will be great activity

when the Lord comes, on the part of

both the real Christians and those who only make a profession. The pro

fessing Christians will then realize

that they lack that which In essential

to entrance to the marriage feast.

3 .The foolish request the wise to

share their oil (vv. 8, 9). The revela

tlon of Christ will make manifest the

genuineness of our religion and ex

pose the folly of mere profession.

When the Lord comes It will be too late to mend one's ways. 4. The wise enter to the marriage (v. 10). While the foolish were seeking to amend their ways trying to buy oil, the bridegroom came and those who were ready .were admitted to the marriage. 5. The pitiful position of the foolish (v. 11). They begged the Lord to open the door that they might enter to the marriage feast. No one can pen that door but the Lord. 0. The awful Judgment (v. 12). The Lord declares "I know you not." Those who put off the personal contact with Jesus until that day shall be shut out from the presence of Christ. III. The Solemn Obligation (v. 13). "Watch, for ye know not the day nor

the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.-

No One Absolute. God has made no one absolute. The rich depend on the poor, as well as the poor on the rich. The world is but a magnificent building, all the stones are gradually cemented 'together. No one subsists by himself alone. Feltham.

H. W. Boring Says He Is In Better General Health Than He Has Been in Years Since Taking Tanlac "Since Tanlac has overcome my troubles I have gained twenty pounds in weight and am in better general health than for years past," was the straight-forward statement made a few days ago by EL W. Boring, a prominent and well-to-do farmer living at Overland Park, Kans. "During the two years I suffered I tried everything I knew of to get relief, but nothing seemed to reach my case until I tried Tanlac. My appetite was poor and my digestion was so bad I could hardly retain my food. Nothing agreed with me; In-fact I was almost a confirmed dyspeptic. My whole system seemed to be out of shape. I would have pains across the small of my back so bad at times I could hardly move around. "My nerves were all unstrung and I would become up-set at the least little thing. I seldom slept well at night and, finally, became so weak and run-down that I lost weight rapidly. I was also troubled a great deal with catarrh and of mornings had to spend a half hour or more clearing up my head. 'This Is Just the condition I was In when I began taking Tanlac and It certainly has been a blessing to me. It Just seemed to be made especially for my case. I Improved from the very first.
