SWEET GLOVER FOR HARD LAND
OMAHA LAND SHOW, OCT. 1628
Great Preparations for Representing
Nebraska with Agricultural
Exhibits
The many thousands of Nebras
kans who expect to attend the Oma
ha Land Show, October 16 to 28 In
clusive, will have the pleasure of
seeing their home state magnificent
ly represented. Some of the best
space in the big coliseum where the
show will be conducted is being re
served for the Nebraska exhibits.
There will be a special Nebraska
State Day, and nothing will bo left
undone to show up the resources of
the state to the best advantage.
The regents of the University of
Nebraska have decided to assemble
an exhibit designed to show the ad
vantages and vast resources of the
state. Besides this big general ex
hibit there will be a large number of
individual county displays. Indica
tions are that every section of Ne
braska will be represented at the
Land Show. Already a number of
western counties are arranging for
space In the coliseum, and more will
be heard from as soon as the indi
vidual communities know what to
send for exhibition purposes.
The people from all over the west
will be especially interested to know
what Nebraska has to offer, and
Box Butte and other counties of
northwestern Nebraska should be
well represented. Everybody inter
ested In the development of this
country ought to be willing to assist
in making the necessary arrange
ments, and The Herald hopes to
see some steps taken soon in that
direction. As a starter we suggest
that the real estate men take the
initiative in the matter. Mr. W. O.
Paisley, Omaha, is general manager
of the Land Show.

tein content In plant and fruit, and,
as far as permanent agriculture goea,
perhaps most important of all the
nitrogen gathering nodule forming bac
teria among the roots. Sand vetch
must always be dlstingushed from Its
rather close, but for us unimportant
and probably worthiest relative, vlcla
sative, variously known as spring
vetch, spring tares, common vetch and
Oregon vetch.
Sand vetch, Introduced over half a
century ago as Siberian vetch, has
only recently begun to attract much
attention. Some highly Important
work has been done with sand vetch
In the south, notably by Duggar in
Alabama, but for the north It may as
well be frankly confessed that sand
vetch is a plant about which much Is
said and little is known. Seed Arms,
through descriptions of It In their cat
alogues, have perhaps, more than any
other agency, kept the plant before
the public.
Severnl qualities conspire against
universal culture of the plant.
1. Its seed Is high priced, sel loin
getting, it seems, much below per
bushel.
2. Much w-"d Is required per acre,
one to one and a half bushels (sixty to
ninety pounds) per acre being gen
erally re( ommefuled. Les than thirty
pounds Is seldom. If ever, seeded.
3. Though under favorable condi
tions and when properly handled It
may reseed Itself Indefinitely, the
plant is nevertheless an annual or at
most a fnil annual like winter wheat.
4. The seed is considered to rather
quickly lose its vitality seed more
than two ytars old being counted un
safe. 5. The plant has a sprawling, melon
like habit that makes it difficult to
harvest for hay or seed, unless it be
gown with winter wheat or rye for
support.
6. Reports from various stations in
dicate that Inoculation Is often need

way and entirely preliminary way-en

at leant yet. little occasion to tam

however, there sre large sections of
Nebraska. notably the high lands of
the western third or fourth of the
state, and also the sandhill region,
where, save for exceptional and re

permanent agriculture is to exist SI

some legume which will be to this re

It Is nut n qutstion of a legume or no

Of the vnrious legumes now some

Gasoline Engines for Pumping.
By C K. Slicdd, Department of Agri
cultural Kimineerlng, University of
Nebraska
At the present time gasoline engines
are being used by a great many farm
ers and stockmen in Nebraska for
pumping water. Probably many oth
ers are contemplating the Installations
of an engine pumping plant. A few
figures regarding the cost of pumping
with a gasoline engine may be of In
terest. It may as well be said at the outset
that where only email quantities of
water are used, the cheapest power
for pumping is the windmill. The
windmill has a number of advantages.
The operating expense la practically
nothing It requires very little attea
tlon; although It should have more at
lentlon than it geta on many farms.
Bolts should be kept tight and hear
ings well lubricated. It is well to use
a mixture of flake graphite and oil on
the bearings occasionally, as this
makes them smooth and they will not
cut so rapidly If allowed to run dry.
The windmill will cost about the
aame as a mail pumping engine. If,
however, an engine is already in see
on the farm for other purposes, it re
quires only a small outlay to connect
It up to the pump.
The aire of engine required for ordi
nary farm pumps is from one-half to
one horse power. It is advisable, how
ever, when purchasing a gasoline en
gtes to get one a little larger, say from
two to ;our horse power. Then belt
the engine to a line shaft and belt
from this slnft to the pump, the grind
stone, emery whMt, small corn shelter,
etc. In this way the engine Is made
lo do much more work and Is there
fore a more profitable investment.
The engine has several advantages
over the windmill oil a large farm
The engine pumps water fast3r and
steadier than the windmill; sad tBil
is especially true if pumping into tn
elevated or I pressure ttah with the
use of an engine. It is not necessary
to have so large a supply tank. A
two days' supply is sufilcient, where
as, with the windmill, a stockman is
not safe unless bis supply tank will
hold a two weeks' supply of water.
A few tests have been run at the
Nebraska Experiment station on ST
small pumping plant installed bv the
Department of Agricultural Engineer
ing for experimental purposes.
The engine is a three horse power.
It is belted to a line shaft and this
shaft is belted to pump Jack, feed
grinder and corn shelter. The pump
has a 3 ' cylinder and an 8" stroke.
The water in the well is about forty
four feet bslow the pump spont.
