discussing the subject of forage crops I propose doing it in the widest sense including any food suitable for The horses cattle sheep or swine subject will include particularly pasture grasses soiling and fodder crops and it is my purpose to particularly emphasize the importance of some of the crops with which our western farmers are not familiar We shall necessarily have to limit ourselves to a discussion of those crops that have been tested at our experiment stations and by successful farmers and found to he of practical value since in the grass family alone there are more than 3500 species As I read the history of agriculture of this and other nations I am impressed with the fact that the permanent prosperity of any country is dependent very largely upon the emphasis placed upon pastures and hay Pastures feed mankind they crops of civilization There are the is always something alluring in an agriculture based specially on permanent things like meadow and pastures that do not let fields wash and erode that maintain and build fertility that make possible the higher types of agriculture based on keeping animals or making milk for babes wool for soft garments or horses for the use of man Although we live in a comparatively new section of country our agriculture in these mountain valleys is already advanced far enough to give the a number of examples showing difference between a system of farming that Includes pastures and grasses and a Bystem that involves the of sugar beets potaproduction In toes grain or fruit crops only the growing of these crops we are continually taking from the soil those elements of fertility that are absoof lutely essential for the growth plants and without which the Boil is worthless In the growing of grasses fed for pasturage or for hay when upon the farm we return to the soil those elements of fertility and the supply Is at least maintained and by a wise system of husbandry even increased year by year In this western country where our farmers have turned their attention bo the production of grasses and forage crops they have been scarcely able to place a limit on the number of live stock they are able to maintain and amount of live etock products they are able to produce Our irrigated lands are particularly adapted to grass for forage crop probecause of the abundance of duction those plant foods necessary for their growth particularly lime potash and phosphates and because of the assurance of supplying moisture just at the It is encouraging to the time needed western farmer to realize that with the adoption of a proper system of one acre here can be made cropping to do the work of three or four acres in the middle west or even fifteen or twenty acres in the southwest I have seen three cows pasture on a single acre of upland pasture in Utah from May until November and in the east have observed that it is necessary to have from three to four acres to pasture one cow for the same Our pastures need length of time never become dry or parched hut under a proper system can be kept constantly green and succulent Land for the Pasture It is a mistaken notion to suppose that the poorest part of the farm should he given over o pastures is Often tibies the rocky bill side used for this purpose and we too frequently fail to take into account the fact that the pasture can be made the most important part of the farm For this reason the best and most convenient part of the farm will in a be selected good farm practice be purpose The land should If not we must see well drained that it is tiled or ©pen ditches provided so that stagnant water may he drawn away We should appreciate the fact that In preparing the land for the pasture grasses we are preparing It for a number of years It is important therefore that considerable attention be paid to so that there may proper leveling be no difficulties in the way of irrigation Then too the land should be prepared some time before we exThe soil must pect to do the seeding settle together so that the proper functions of the soil can be carried on The seed bed must be extremely fine When one examines the seed of any of our grasses or clovers it must be readily understood that there is stored away very little nourishment and the young and tender plant must soon begin to draw upon the soil for its nourishment Time of Seeding In the east long experience has shown that the fall is the best time for seeding Repeated experiments here have however demonstrated Business a business way — the advertising way An ad In this paper offers the maximum service at the In minimum cost MERRILL Director ExtenDivision Utah Agricultural College A Oregon RETtK Magazine CROPS FOR It reaches the people of town and vidntty j you want to reach the Try — It Pays It-- — that on irrigated land we secure best results by spring seeding If the land is prepared the previous fall the seed can be sown very early in the spring and tbs plants will become well established before the hot dry weather bethat It should be remembered gins seed too one can hardly sow grass early In the spring The Mixture to 8elect Many of the grass mixtures given out by the seed houses are silly conof which are some glomerations made up of a few good varieties and then poor onOs thrown in simply to throw chaff into the eye of the customer However there are many ad- vantages in mixtures rather than Some grasses start very single seed early la the spring while others do not begin until late in the summer and there are scarcely two grasses that have the same time of growth them we have thereBy combining fore a constant succession of fresh The evil In a mixeuoculent grasses ture is that sometimes there ia In it a grass of Inferior quality and that one will he neglected and the others so that after a time the ingrazed ferior grass is left In the ascendancy I have tested a number of different mixtures on various soils ay4 have found the following mij£e8 of grasses an excellent one for the sections Blue Grass sown at the Kentucky rate of 6 pounds per acre Perennial Rye Grass sown at the rate of 7 pounds per acre Meadow Fescue sown at the rate of 3 pounds per acre Red Clover Bown at the ratp of 2 pounds per acre Rep Top sown at the rate of 6 pounds per acre Orchard Grass sown at the rate of 3 pounds per acre White Clover sown at the rate of 2 pounds per acre Alfalfa sown at the rate of 2 pounds per acre to well This mixture is adapted drained soils and has been tested oy a great many farmers in these sections with excellent results For light sandy soils the following mixture is recommended: Blue Grass sown at the Kentucky rate of 8 pounds per acre Meadow Fescue sown at the rate of 6 pounds per acre Tall Meadow Oats sown at the rate of 5 pounds per acre Brome Grass sown at the rate of 5 pounds per acre White Clover sown at the rate of 2 pounds per acre Where lands are low and moist and where drainage is not possible the following mixture of grasses has given good results Perennial Rye Grass sown at the rate of 8 pounds per acre 10 Red Top sown at the rate of pounds per acre Rhode Island Bent sown at the rate of 4 'pounds per acre Meadow Fescue Bown at the rate of 2 pounds per acre sown at the rate of 42 Timothy pounds per acre Alsike Clovcc sown at the rate of 2 pounds per acre White Clover sown at the rate of 2 pounds per acre It may be thought that we have amount of used here a very large In practice however seed it is nearly impossible to get a perfect distribution of seeds and equally impossible to get them covered uniformly so that one can count only on a very In small percentage of germination imseeding grasses it is extremely portant to get the seed evenly distributed Ordinarily one gets the best results with the use of those seeders with wing discs that throw the machine on either side the men walking and turning the seed by hand The wheelbarrow seeder also Drills of course gives good results are most efficient but care must be taken to prevent getting the seed too deep Blue grass especially requires I know the very lightest covering too many farmers who advise seeding these grasses always with a nurse bushel sow one will to If he crop the acre of spring barley selecting a short strawed strong variety that will not lodge and then cut early he will be providing shade for the young grasses and can almost absolutely de- upon success will he observed after a year or two that some of the grasses are increasing and some are becoming exa tinct It will be found therefore wise practice early in the spring as the snow is disappearing to plant the seed of those grasses that are disappearing and then to loosen the grass sod by the use of a sharp tooth harrow It is a mistake to feel that the pasture does not need fertilization Pasture should be covered at least other year with a coating of well every lotted barnyard manure and this thorso as to give eve oughly harrowed distribution early in the spring As a rule we have a few days in February when this work can be done to advantage Another mistake in handling pastures is to give the animals the free use of the entire pasture The best practice demands that there shall be at least two or three fields to avoid close grazing The cattle should be kept out of one field while It Is being Irrigated and the grass to obtain a good start By allowed changing cattle around In different fields there is less waste with the grasses and there is a decided advantage gained by way of permitting the grasses to get a good start I am very strongly of the opinion that pastures seeded along the lines suggested here will be the most profitable part of the farm (Concluded next week) pend It No Real Poet Ever Did He Knew Jinks (in

Republicans held that there was too much haste in enacting the legislation and they tried by evmeans and ery known’ parliamentary by some which perhaps were not parliamentary to secure a prolonging of the debate The Democrats during the attempted filibuster called attention to the fact that when the Republicans were in the majority in the house they would cut off debate by the power which numbers gave them and that today they had no rightful cause to object to being done by as they had done by others A fellow correspondent who is possessed of some ancient records insists that "the same things happens over snd over again in congress" Then he “The filibusters baa gone on to say: which are of frequent oy 3f today eurrence have their counterparts In the history of legislation ever since the 0

sent a meesager to find the Congress absent members and to request them to return to attend congress When the messenger came back he reported that Mr Langworthy had said that he would return presently but that Mr Burke had replied that the devil might take him If he would come it was too late and too unreasonable The upshot of the whole business was the adoption of the following resolution: "Resolved That ths manner in on the which Mr Burke withdrew evening of the said 10th instant waa and that disorderly and contemptuous the answer then returned by him was Indecent That the principle upon which he baa attempted to justify bis withdrawing from the house la dangerous because it strikes at the very exlstenoe of the house and as In the present case actually happened would enable a

criminal In members of conattendance gress to withhold their when the public safety required It “they are to be Judged and punished the the of state laws by they represent and by no other power” The
