Vydtal Hdwe. PIKONBM.M FARM ADVISERS COMMENTS --- Local dealers in garden seeds tell me they don't carry inoculation for peas because no gardner ever asks for it. I do, but can't get any. Clyde Bond, west of Woodstock, says he puts soybean inoculation on his. Last year he planted some peas one week without inoculating and some almost two weeks later with it. They had peas on the- later ones first. Now is the time for broody hens or is it too late ? When I was a kid, we had a slatted bottom coop nailed to the side of the cob house, which we called the "jail" and in which all the old gals with setting j notions (set in their ways) it was jmy job to toss. It's- a trick to get I hold of them on the nest without • getting picked. I Col. Herman Lacy, southwest of i McHenry, has a blackboard in his ! machine shed where he keeps his tractors and trucks. Each is listed on the left with columns up and down where the last date of lubricating, changing oil filters, crankcase draining, radiator draining and every other thing that should be done at regular intervals can hi noted. A good idea where you have a number of tractors and a number of different men working. More on the conference at Urbana, June 7-8-9. Prof. Lawrence Simerl says that if the new look is an indication, we can expect a depression. He said it preceded, the last one. Get out the old Sears Roebuck catalogue and see or did you use them all up during these years? He says there is not much connection between hunger in the stomach and the price of farm products. Dr. L. J. Norton says in England., with the pro-labor government they subsidize farmers for cheap food. County committee can dispossess a I farmer who doesn't produce. Norton ' considers it too drastic. It's a far i cry from our A.A.A. where checks ;are distributed to anyone who farms ' and is eligible to vote with no rel gard to inventory, need, or pro» '• duction. Norton called attention to 1 the fact that World War I was pre- ! ceeded by 15 years of rising prices j while World War II was proceeded I by • 15 years of falling prices. 1 Prof. J. C. Hackleman said 71 per i cent of oats in Illinois in 1948, are ; Clinton, 3 per cent Mindo. Six year | tests on oats showed Clinton 18.8 ' bu. per acre over all verities tested at Mt. Morris, test weight 35.5 I pounds, 85 per cent erect plants. The other extreme was the .old 60 day I oats of years ago, 15.1 bu. under average, test weight 27.1, and 40 per cent ar«ct plants.. The latter were grown just to see how far we ' have come. The Collage is doing a lot of work on 2-4-D spraying on all kinds ef crops, all kinds of weeds, all kinds of weather (except wet here) before and after they are up, etc. It's your tax money and I'm suppose^ to know the results before next spring. They have an absolute control study on up and down hill vs. con« tour farming soil and water losses. Soil losses are 60 per cent greater on the up and down rows than on the contour rows on both a com-oats and corn-soybean rotation. However, the up and down soybean plot losses are 35 per cent of the contoured soybean plot. 88 to 99 per cent ef the soi^ losses are in May and June. The morrow .plots show, in brief, that a 100 acre farm in 1888 with continuous com wjth no soil treat* meet is now a • 20 acre farm in production while a' com, oats, clover,: rotation is still a 100 acre farm< while a corn, oats, clover rotation, with a manure-lime-phosphate treatment program is now a 132 acre farm. You, who are looking for abigger farm at present day prices, please note. Much is asked about nitrogen on corn. On third year corn in 1944, no nitrogen made 78 bu., 80 pounds of N made: Broadcast before plow. ing, 102 bu.; broadcast at planting time, 100 bu.; broadcast 2nd cultivation, 89 bu.; broadcast 3rd cultivation, 94 bu.; side dressed at planting time, 89 bu.; side dressed 2nd cultivation, 99 bu.; side dressed 3rd cultivation, 100 bu.; Hiis would be 240 pounds of 33 per cent, ammonium nitrate. Half this amount side dressed at 2nd or 3rd culti-1 vatiOn, produced 104 bu. per acre, j If a total of two farmers will! drop us a post card before press, time, Saturday, June 26, we will con-1 tinue delving into the bundle ofi literature I bought home from conference. I can't tell what you want. Ill buy each of these (2) considerate gentlemen a cup of coffee. ~ • • Big Texaa Navy % Four small vessels, the invincible, the Brutus, the Independence and the Liberty, constituted the Texas navy during the revolution against Mexico. It harassed Mexican commerce and made partly ineffective the Mexicans' attempt to blockade Texas porta and prevent the bringing in of supplies from the United States. The Independence was captured and two other ships were wrecked shortly after close of the war. Because of threat of blockade of Texas ports by the Mexican navy, after founding of the Texas republic, the government of the republic purchased five oi she vessels from tb» United States.
