    NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE,
FARM CHEAP LAND
Why Western Canada Agricultu
rists Are- Smiling.
Low Overhead Expense and Bountiful
Crops Have Enabled Them to
Overcome Agricultural
Depression.
Tho recent agricultural depression
brought to the eyes of tho world tho
fact that ono of Its basic Industries
was likely to suffer a severe blow un
less steps were taken to securo a rem
edy. 'Physician after physician ap
plied remedies, but oven parliamenta
rians and newspnpers wero unable
to placo their finger on tho pulso that
would respond. As It appears today.
It was a spasmodic wave duo to tho
ebb and flow of tho tldo of readjust
ment that was bound to follow a dis
turbance such as tho Great War
caused.
Psychologically It was bound to
change; there was certain to bo a re
Ilex movement that would bring agri
cultural conditions back to tho placo
where they normally nnd rightly be
long. Efficiency and sound business Judg
ment arc needed moro In ngriculturo
today than ever before and are as Im
portant to the farmer as to a railroad
company, or to a great steel corpora
tion. Tho farmer must endeavor to securo
nn equal footing In the competition
for a lower cost of production. In
Western Canada tho farmer has como
through tho dark era with that forti
tude nnd determination so peculiar to
a new country, and Is meeting tho
chnnged situation with energy and a
smile. In Western Canada the farmer
Is not hampered by an annunl over
head expense of henvy Interest on
high-priced land. lie Is able to pro
duce at a minimum, because his land
value seldom exceeds $50 an acre.
Owing to the fact that he Is farming
lnnd tho price of which Is from $25
to $50 an acre, producing crops of
whent running from 20 to 40 bushels
per acre, and other grains In propor
tion, ho ,1s able to produce at a low
cost. Innddltlon to this, a fact which
should not be lost sight of, is the lnrgo
area that ho can farm at low cost, giv
ing him an added advantage In reduc
ing the cost of production.
The corn that the farmer fully ex
pected to bring him over a dollar n
bushel, he saw carried away to tho
market, and bring back n 30 or 40 cent
check. Wheat for tho whole of Can
ada averaged 80 cents a bushel In 1921
ns compared with $1.C2 In 1020; oats
87 cents ns ngalnst 53 cents; barley
47 cents as against 83 cents. Other
grain prices similarly fell. Whllo
other parts of the continent, where
grnln-growlng Is carried on, have suf
fered In like manner by deflation in
prices, they have had to face a much
higher cost in production, such as high
rents, high-priced farms, and high
taxes. Farmers hnd calculated on re
ceiving war or nearly war figures for
their grain nnd therefore were amply
Justified In submitting to the tnx that
sonring lnnd prices set upon them.
' Western Cannda fortunately did not
suffer from Inflated land prices. There
fore, when grain prices fell, the losses
sustained were not so great; they did
not cut out the margin of profit, ex
cepting In some enses where some cli
matic conditions caused It.
Why not take advantage of tho
Homeseekrrs' rate to any point In
Western Canada, of return rate single
fare plus $2.00, nnd get Information
from the nenrest Canadian Govern
ment agent? Advertisement.

IMPROVING SOIL
AT LITTLE COST
Sweet Clover Is Admirably Adapt
ed Where Decreased Corn
Acreage Is Advisable.
CROP MAY BE SEEDED ALONE
Fair Yield of Excellent Hay May De
Cut If Conditions Warrant Farmer
Must Judge for Himself What
Crop to Grow.
(Prepared by the United States Department
ot Acrlculture.)
Where a reduction of corn ncrenge
seems advisable and the lnnd has lime
enough,- sweet clover will lend Itself
admirably to soil Improvement nt low
cost. Whllo the usual way of seeding
is on winter grain or with spring
grain, Mie United Stntes Department
of Agriculture ndvises that It may
well be seeded alone on land that Is
now without a crop. Such land
should be hnrrowed ns early as pos
sible and the seed harrowed In, or
where tho land dries slowly tho seed
may be scattered directly on the
ground ns tho frost Is coming out.
There Is no need to plow, nnd so prac
tically the whole expenso will consist
of the cost of tho seed which nt pros
ont Is low. Scarllled seed should bo
used.
Small Cost of Seed.
Tho prlco of white sweet clover seed
Is today considerably less than hnlf
that of red clover. If the seed Is on
tho ground early the plants will keep
ahead of tho weeds and, by September
or October, n fair crop of excellent
liny can bo cut If conditions warrant
the expense of cutting. The hay will
havo practically Mio same value as
alfalfa or red clover hay. In the
spring of next yenr tho new growth can
be turned under for corn If that crop
Is desired, or the field can be used
for pasture.
Sweet clover Is one of the best pas
ture plants known. If pastured henv
Uy enough It will keep green and
growing all through the summer when
most grass pasture dries up. It must

bo kept closely pastured, however,
since otherwise It quickly grows tall,
blooms nnd becomes woody. If the
field Is left In sweet clover during 1923
It can bo plowed that full for grain
or go into corn In 1024.
Do Not Improve Soil.
During tho past few years largo
crops of sninll grain and of corn have
been grown, but these have not-nlwnys
proved profitable, and, of course, have
not helped to Improve the lnnd. The
question of whnt to do under these
circumstances Is important. If ensh
returns arc necessary tho land not put
into corn may be planted to soy beans.
This crop will require as much labor
as corn, however. Where tho great
est possible economy In operation Is
to bo combined with soil Improvement
tho fanner will have to turn to grass
or clover.
Every farmer must Judge for himself
whether to grow com, whether to sub
stitute soy beans or somo other crop,
or whether to rest the land nnd de
rive little or ;lo Income from It for ono
season. The abovo suggestion Is of
fered by the Department of Agricul
ture ns ono wny to Improve the lnnd
whllo resting It, nnd to do Mils with
tho minimum of expense und labor.
BEST MACHINE FOR BLASTING
Where There Are but Few Stumps to
Remove Device Firing Ten Caps
Is Satisfactory.
Electric blnstlng machines nre
small portable dynamos, so nrrnnged
that nn electric current Is generated
by pushing down n rack bur, which
oxtends through tho top of the ma
chine. They nre made In several sizes,
somo firing up to ii electric blnstlng
cups, other sizes firing up to 10, HO,
CO, and even more. For tho farmer
with but a few stumps to blast, the
United Stntes Department of Agri
culture hns found tho size that fires
10 caps will be lnrge enough to meet
nil needs' but the size that fires !(0
caps Is moro generally used thnn any
other In agricultural work.
Blnstlng machines, as well as all
other necessary blasting equipment,
can generally be obtained from locnl
dealers In explosives, usually hard
ware stores, or they may be had by
writing directly to any manufacturer
of explosives. These machines seldom
get out of order, but they should be
kept In u dry place and should not
be thrown ubout or handled roughly.
HASTY CONCLUSIONS
SHOULD BE AVOIDED
All Angles of Farm Enterprise
Should Be Considered.
If Cows Were Sold Thero Would Ba
No Way of Using Roughage La
bor Also Would Be Lost, Ad
ding Another Burden.
(Prepkred by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Ilnsty conclusions should bo avoided
In making use of the results of tho
year's cost accounts for improving Mie
organization of tho farm, warns tho
United Stntes Department of Agricul
ture. All good fnrmcrs know that
sometimes n positive decrease In
profits mny ensue If an enterprise bo
dropped because, taken nlone, It linn
failed to pay. Cows, for Instance, may
not ,show n net prollt, but if nil tho
cows were sold there might be no
other wny of using tho roughnge,
which would becomo a dead loss. La
bor dovotcd night nnd morning to
Keeping of Cows May Be Responsible
for Making Hogs So Profitable.
milking nnd feeding cows, nnd
charged to them, would be entirely
lost If the cows wero sold nnd noth
ing supplied to fill in tho Mine. Thus
nn ndded burden for tho maintenance
of labor would have to bo borno by
tho other enterprises.
Tho fnct Mint tho hogs or tho corn
crop bring the most net money during
tho season Is no renson for assuming
Mint nil tho activities of tho form in
tho future should bo devoted solely to
hogs or corn. It may bo that tho keep
ing of cows Is pnrtly responsible for
making hogs so profitable, or that the
growing of whent, clover, or other
crops in rotntlon with corn makes the
latter crop much moro profitable than
It would have been if grown alone.
Similar conditions will bo met with
on nil fnrms nnd, therefore, no sudden
changes should bo mndo on the bnsls
of what a single yenr's accounts mny
Indlcnte. All angles of the enterprise
should bo tnken Into consideration.
POTASH IN WOOL RECOVERED
Small Washer Has Been Designed and
Is Being Tried by the Bureau
of ChemlBtry.
A small wool washer mndo for re
covering potash from fleeces In a solu
tion of suflkicnt concentration to mnko
tho recovery of tho potnsh profltnblo
lias been designed nnd Is being tried
out by the bureau of chemistry of the
United Stntes Department of Agri
culture. It Is said that the averago
fleece contains about -1 per cent of po
tnsh by weight, but in Mio ordinary
method of washing wool It comes out
In such dilute solution Mint It docs not
pay to recover the salt.
About 000,000,000 pounds of wool
nro secured In the United States each
year, and if only 3 per cent of potnsh
Is recovered It would amount to 18,
000,000 pounds of n.ctunl potash that
would be available for use In fertiliz
ers. Some nitrogen is ulso recovered
from wool along with the potnsh.
INOCULATION OF SOY BEANS
When Sown on Land Not Previously
Planted to Crop It Is Advisable
to Use Culture.
Natural Inoculation now occurs
quite generally throughout much of
Mio nrea where soy beans nro grown
extensively. When sown on land
which has not been previously planted
to Mils crop, however, It I9 ndvlsablo
to lnoculnte with the proper culture.
Inoculation mny bo obtained, either
through the use of n pure culture, a
limited quuntlty of which can be pro
cured from the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture froe of chnrgo, or
by the use of Inoculuted soil from n
field where soy bean plants hnve pre
viously developed nodules. Tho ln
oculnted soil may be drilled In nt tho
time of seeding, using the fertilizer
box, or by thoroughly mixing a gal
lon of tho soil to a bushel of seed.
STRAWBERRIES ALL SUMMER
Popular Varieties Are Progressive and
Superb Resistant to Leaf-Spot
Diseases.
Strawberry plants which will con
tinue to produce strawberries .until
hard frosts occur mny bo grown In
nil of tho northern United States and
In the mid-western stntes. The two
leading varieties of this typo of straw
berry, tho progressive and the superb,
nre notable because they aro excep
tionally resistant to leaf-spot dlsenses.
Another remnrknblo characteristic of
these varieties Is that if their blooms

to Into spring frosts, which often
destroy tho crop, these varieties nro
particularly valuable. Unltei', States
