Sweet Clover or Soya Good on
Contracted Land.
Sweet clover can be seeded on the contracted acres this spring and plowed under next spring where the land is intended for corn. Used in this way, because of its more rapid growth, it will furnish about three times the nitrogen added during the
same time by alfalfa and four times mar )( e t according to the Food and the nitrogen gathered by red clover Dru? Administration of the U.

"Why should anyone be willing to pay a high price for a package of dried vegetables just because they are alleged to contain vitamins?” she asks There are at present on the
on the agronomy farm at Lafayette produced as good stand as two tons of ground limestone broadcast the
previous fall.
“Light liming" in small amounts will prove Inadequate for sweet clover on strongly acid soils. In such cases broadcast applications will prove the safest and best. In either case inoculation with a jelly or moist humus commercial culture is absolutely essential unless this crop or alfalfa has recently been grown. Soybeans, though more expensive to seed than sweet clover, have a wider adaptation since they will grow on acid soils without the application of limestone Soybeans have a high value for soil improvement when the full growth is plowed under. Where the land is intended for wheat soybeans should be plowed under bv Sept. 1. and used in this way is probably the best legume and is safer than sweet clover which may volunteer in the wheat crop if plowed under in the fall. Soybeans when grown for the first time should be inoculated either with soil from a well inoculated field or commercial cultures. Full details of adapted varieties cultural practices, etc., for either of these cr,ops may be obtained from the Purdue University Agricultural Extension Department.

Food Fads are Dangerous and May he Costly.
The old saying, "A HtUe knowledge is a dangerous thing," is especially true when food fads are taken into consideration, according to Miss Aneta Beadle. Extension Nutritionist of Purdue University. She points out that just as soon as a manufacturer claims that his product contains vitamins any of the vitamins - his sales increase accordingly, although there are a great many people who do not know that each of the known vitamins has a different function; that some foods are better sources of various vitamins than others, and different kinds of food must be eaten to get them all: that the mere presence of a given vitamin in a food means very little unless it is known definitely how much this food contains: and most important bf all from the standpoint of diet that an abundance of vitamins can

the soil previour, to planting will, to a great extent, determine the life of the bed Asparagus and rhubarb should produce good crops over a period of 20 to 35 or 40 years, while horseradish and winter onions may
be safely moved in any year. If new beds of asparagus and rhu-
barb are to be made this year, the ground should first have a good covering of manure and about a halfsack of an 0-10-10 fertilizer sprinkled on top the manure fer 100 feet of row. After the fertilizers have been applied the ground should be plowed deeply, placing the plant foods down where the roots can use them Phosphoric acid and potash have very little downward movement in the soil, if any ui all, end since these plants are great feeders it is essentia! that ample amounts of fer-
tilizers be used.
O'd asparagus and rhubarb beds 'hat have b»en se» for two or more vears should have a good tr.p dressing of manure at this time and be given a thorough discing. Discing not only loosens up the roll but destroys the grasses and permits the spears or stems to come through the ground easily After the cutting season is over the plan* begins to store food fo>- the next year’s crop. A top dressing of chicken manure, or 10 to 12 pounds 0/ a nitrogen fertilizer should be app.ied to stimulate
