Farmer Proposes New Method to
Increase the Yield of the
Soil'.
CLAIMS MANY ADVANTAGES
Proves Successful In the Experiment
al Stage British Government Ex-
ports Are Much Impressed
With Possibilities.
London. In these days o cereal and
fodder shortage the farmer who suc
ceeds In growing two blades where
one grew before would be looked upon
ns a public benefactor, but an English
farmer has succeeded In going one
better and writes to the Tlmos to give
details of the new method.
He suggests that If his plan is adopt
ed there will be more grazing this
year, more beef next winter, more oats,
wheat and hay In 1010, and more graz
in 1010. If the new method Is as suc
cessful over a large acreage as It has
proved to be In tho experimental stage
It may rightly be termed a discovery
in ogriculture.
The new method Is as follows:
In July, by the use of a specially
devised drill, a winter cereal and an
artificial fertilizer are simultaneously
drilled through any grass land Intend
ed for haying the following year. By
September or October the cereal will
have made a top growth of from eight
to ten Inches. This Is then grazed off
with the grass by whatever live stock
Is turned out upon It, and the grain,
nominally nn animal, Is thus turned
Into a biennial by virtue of Its yield
of valuable grazing In the autumn pre
ceding tho year of the normal grain
harvest.
Double Crop.
The autumn grazing encourages and
strengthens tho roots of the cereal.
Owing to the protection from frost
given by the covering of turf, normal
spring growth begins earlier, more
heads are thrown up, development Is
:
more rapid, and tho grain ripens at tho
surae time ns the hay, both being har
vested together. Tho harvesting is
done by means of nn ordinary mowing
machine fitted with an extra knife at
the proper height above tho grass to
cut the heads of tho grain. The low
er knife cuts the hay as usual and the
upper knife nets as a header.
A carrier behind the "header" knife
deposits the grain in a separate
swath.
Many Advantages.
The advantages claimed for this
method are many, among them being
the following:
The productive capacity of the land
is doubled. Old and valuable grass
Jands ore not only not destroyed, but
are Improved. Economy of labor
throughout; plowing and harrowing
are not needed; both crops are gath
ered together, planting and rolling are
done at the same time, and the gruln

sage of the drills through tho turf Im
proves the surface drainage. The
equal mixing of strnw with 'the hay for
fodder. Tho grent convenience of July
planting for tho farmer.
Saves Permanent Pasture.
It is asserted that under this method
no permanent pasture need be broken
up, rather that the larger part of tho
nrable land might be put down to per
manent pasture. The permanent pas
tures are In hay and corn one yenr and
grazed the next. In the spring of tho
grnzing year seeds of annual legumes
can be planted through the pastures
with the same machine ns Is used
to drill in the grain, not only on ac
count of their feeding vnlue, but also
to Increase the nitrogen In tho soil for
the following cereal crop.
The drilling of the seed through tho
turf is accomplished by a small knlfo
bladed foot that can be attached to
any drill -In place of the disk.
Government experts have been so
Impressed with the possibilities of tho
method thnt priority certificates have
been granted for the manufacture of
tho fittings or tho Import of any parts
which mny be necessary If they can

TREES FOR PALESTINE

London. Two principal recommen

the reconstruction of thnt country
will be a scheme for beginning afores

vation of water supply by storage uud
by opening up old springs.
A preliminary statement from n
member of tho committee snys: "Tho
greatest of all Palestine's needs Is
aforestation. For centuries the land
has been denuded of Its trees, with
most disastrous consequences. For
tho heavy rains nt certain seasons, In
stead of benefiting the soil, over mora
than four-fifths of tho urea carry away
in rushing torrents much of the littlo

and valley slopes.
"Pnlestlno has not always been tree
less. The Roman emperors hud valu

"Trees of rapid growth will bo plant

reservoirs Is comparatively simple. By
erecting smull dams across certain
ways, u series of small reservoirs can
be constructed nt Httio expense, cre

be opened which under centuries of
