BUCKWHEAT FINE
FOR POOR SOILS
Profitable Yield May Be Secured
Where Wheat, or Even Rye,
Cannot Be Grown.
HCaLHT US COVER CROP
Can la Grown on Land Whara Sprlng-
Sown Crop* Such aa Com, Hava
Fallad to Make a Stand-
Many Othar Uaaa.
(Prepared by the United Statee Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Buckwheat is in general the best
grain crop for poor, thin land. Its nat
ural and favorite environment is “back
in the hills.** On land where wheat
or even rye cannot be grown with profit
buckwheat Is often able to produce a
profitable yield. The climatic condi
tions, however, must be favorable.
On acid soils, which are quite com
mon in the northern states, buckwheat
does well. It does not require large
supplies of lime In the soil, although
lime is taken up largely by the plant.
Good 8ummer Cover Crop.
Low-grade fertilizers may be used to
advantage in the growing ef buck
wheat, as it can make use of relatively
Insoluble materials to better advan
tage than the other grain crops. It
may be used to render available in
soluble phosphates, like rock phos
phate, as these are taken up by the
plant in larger quantities than by
other small grains. T6 obtain the
greatest benefit from such applications
to follow crops, the buckwheat should
be grown as a -summer cover crop to
be plowed under as green manure In
preparation for fall seeding.
Buckwheat serves to make even very
hard land mellow and friable. Conse
quently It is a good crop to use in
preparation for such crops as potatoes.
As It has a short growing period,
buckwheat can be grown on land where
spring-sown crops, such as corn, have
failed to make a stand. It can also
be used where the land cannot be
worked until late, or where other
crops have been drowned out by late
spring floods.
Enlarge Farm Activities.
Buckwheat can be used to enlarge
farm activities. After other crop*
that must be sown early are all In
there is often time to prepare land and
sow buckwheat. On account of the
short growing season It may be sown
later than any other grain crop. Where
It Is so used it often may be advisable
to sow it even on rich land which other
wise could be used more profitably for
other crops.
Buckwheat is a suitable crop for
growing on new ground. Land Just
cleared of timber or drained marsh
land containing much decaying vege
table matter will produce good yields
of this grain.
Farmers* Bulletin No. 1062 contains
full Information on this crop. Copies

SCRAPER FOR LOADING SOIL

scraper Is used It Is usually necessary
to drag the dirt out of the hole and
then shovel It Into a farm wagon. By
building a platform like the one shown
here It Is easy to load a wagon with a
scraper and save a lot of hard work.
The platform must be strong enough
to stand up under the load of dirt and
the extra pull that comes when the
team drags the scraper up the in
cline. The check block stops the
scraper and helps In dumping it into
the wagon box.
PURE AIR QUITE NECESSARY
Drafts Should Ba Carefully Avoided
and Poultry Houao-Kopt at Evan
Temperature.
Filthy air la practically breathing
poison. Pure air furnishes the oxygen
which keeps the life processes going
and when the air becomes stale or foul,
the birds become weak and sickly.
The problem for the poultryman, there
fore, Is to let In plenty of air without
drafts and without making the hen
house so cold as to be uncomfortable.
On almost all sunny days the windows
can be opened when, the flock la exer
cising, scratching la litter for Its food,
and that gives a chance to air the
bouse thoroughly. Even In the coldest
night the windows may be lowered a
little at the top (very little when It la
very cold) and the birds will obtain
fresh air., If the wind blows In, a piece
Of burlap can be hung over the open
space through which the air can get In
and by which the wind can be kept eat

(Prepared by the United Stated Depart

One of the most unique and success
ful community breeders' associations
of the country is located In Loudoun
county, Va. It is unusual because in
stead of fostering the breeding and
Improvement of a single class of live
stock, it .sponsors the improvement of
eight breeds and classes of live stock.
The excellence of such a plan is that
duplication In work and extra expense
are eliminated, while the society Is
really standardising the production of
purebred live stock within Loudoun
county.

ed In public meeting by the farmers
and stockmen of that section as the
dominant breeds of the county.
The Loudoun County Breeders* as
sociation, organised in lfrl6 by Joint
efforts of the county agent, a progres
sive banker, and a few forward-look
ing farmers, has grown from an orig
inal strength of 60 to over 250 active
members. Through its manager it
purchases and sells live stock for Its
members and has been of marked In
fluence in improving the character
and quality of the county live stock.
Specialists of tho department of ag
riculture believe that there Is a fer
tile field for the formation of similar
live stock breeding clubs throughout
the United States. In some of the
leading stock-producing areas four or
five, or even more, individual breeders’
clubs now exist, whereas one general
organization saves an overhead cost
and permits of the hiring of a paid
business manager as In Loudoun
county.
CREOSOTE FOR FENCE POSTS
Csst Preservative Treatment Cenalate
of Boiling Wood in Liquid for
Short Period.
Five cents’ worth of creosote ap
plied to a fence post will prolong Its
life many years. Posts that will last
ordinarily but four or five years in tlie
ground car be made to last 20 by treat
ing.
Woods like beech, birch, maple, ash,
poplar and others that are not oral
narlly used for fence posts, can be
made as durable as locust or cedar by
a preservative treatment with creosote.
This treatment does not consist simply
In painting the post with creosote or
In dipping it In creosote. While these
treatments do some good, they do not
insure deep penetration of the creosote
into the wood or the filling of the
cracks and season-checks.
The best preservative treatment con
sists In heating the posts In boiling hot
creosote for 30 to GO minutes, then
leaving- them In the tank until the
liquid has cooled. The creosote will
be forced deeply into the wood and
thus fill qll checks and cracks and
form an exterior shell of treated wood
that will-prevent rotting. An old, dis
carded gasoline drum with the top cut
out, set up so that a fire may be built
beneath, makes an excellent treating
tank at little expense.

BELGIUM SKETCHES
The Land of the
Living and Dead
By Katharine Eggleston Roberts.
(Copyright. 1111. WMtri NtwtHPW ObIm)
The old mao mink upon a stump be
fore the door of the abrl and rested his
gray. stubbled chin on the handle of
his pick. Wearily he cased across the
desolate land of destruction. His bent
shoulders drooped beneath the bine
smock.
“Sometimes It Just seems Impossible,
Marthe.” He turned to the woman In
the doorway. “You can’t grow gar
den In these wet shell-holes. Some of
us tried to turn more ground today,
but every time we swung a pick, up
came a skull or a piece of a shoe, or
something. It doesn't seem right.”
Marthe’s knotted fingers twisted at
her apron. “No; but It's all we have,
Jan. We can’t waste all West Flan
ders. and—well, after all. It's home.”
"Yes. yes," he sighed; “we've come
back to the same place, but It Isn’t
home any more. Look at those bare
trees. They lift their broken arms to
the sky and beg for pity, but they’ll
never live. And thode skulls—they
haunt me. What Is the use? Always
a struggle. The dead cannot live
again, and we live on a land of
death.” He kicked off his wooden sa
bots and followed his wife through the
doorway Into the one room that served
for parlor, bedroom and kitchen.
Marthe bent over the sheet-iron stove
and stirred the soup In a battered ket
tle. “I scoured up that empty shell
you found yesterday. It will do for a
coffee-pot. Try to get another. *To
use the same one for everything Is
hard.” She sighed. "I do wish we bad
just a few of the old kitchen things.
But I suppose some German woman Is
using my copper kettles and spoons
now.” Marthe wielded the home-made
wooden ladle with a vicious splash.
Jan laughed bitterly, as he settled
down by the table. “Judging by what
they took from Belgium. I picture Ger
many as a land paved with copper ket
tles, carpeted with mattresses and fes
tooned with brass door-knobs. Oh,
what's the use, Marthe? What's the
use of trying to live like this? An old
abrl for a house, because there’s noth
ing with which to build. We make
our coffee In the shell of a spent obus.
Our furniture, everything Is makeshift.
Life's nothing but a makeshift.
“Why do we ding to It? And the chil
dren that people are trying to raise
out here I They see only desolation;
their toys are broken guns and rusty
bayonets. What kind of men and
women will they be? And still we go
on working here, because we've no
where else to go. and we think we
have to live.” His gray head sank In
his hands.
Marthe placed the pot of soup on
the table and gave him a wooden
spoon. “That’s what Louisa was say
ing this evening. That’s the way ev
erybody feels when the dark comes
on.”
Slowly the night mist crept over
No Man’s Land and shrouded the
stark, gray trees. One by one shapes
began to rise and wander over the pit
ted ground. They gathered Into groups
and the murmur of their voices was
like wind across the fields.
Said one: “I thought It hard to die
out here, but when I see these people
working, straining to make their
homes, I think it must be harder still
to live.”
“My family has returned,” another
spoke. “I lived here once. It seems
so long ago. But when I came back
here to fight, my house was all de
stroyed. my people gone. And then
I fell there. In my own front yard—
that shell-hole, see it, where the pop
pies grow? My little girl came there
to pick some flowers this afternoon.
I kissed her hand; she laughed, and
thought a poppy tickled her.” He
smiled. “If they could know —”
“It must be nearly time,” another
said. “The lights are out. The peo
ple are asleep.”
A bugle whispered somewhere In the
dark. The shapes fell into ranks; the
ghostly army marched. Befpre the
homes the spirits took their posts and
waited for the zero hour to come.
From far they saw the menace creep
ing up—vaguely, until the moon broke
through the mist and showed It grim
and hideous—the army of Despair and
faithless Doubt, that sought to drive
the people from the land.
The siege was hard, but through the
long, blue night the shapes stood firm
till, just before the dawn, the hour of
full strength came. Then with a rush
the living spirits fought, and put the
armies of Despair and Doubt to flight.
••e• • • • •
The old man stood before the door
of the abrl and watched the morning
turn from rose to gold. “Marthe,” he
cried, T was foolish last night It
must have been that I was tired. What
better gift can we have than the land
where our sons have fought? What an
Inspiration for our homes I There’s no
such thing as despair, Marthe. I was
wrong, very wrong last night Today
I see only hope In'the sky.”
And the living spirits of No Man's
Land smiled In their hard-won sleep.
Qoed Prospects fer Belgium.
While Belgium still has many hard
problems to solve before- restoration
can bf regarded as complete. It Is the
opinion of many observers that she
will be among the first of the bellig
erents to recover from the war.
