! £ Makmg the Little Farm Pay By C.~C.- BOWSFIELD: SODOOGORLPOOCOSIVOOIROOOOOOS Miss Anule L. Glidden: of Dekalb, 1IL, is one of many women who are successful in farm management. She. owns and manage¢ thirty acres 2 -mile | from ‘town and is making a“record o which her friends speak with pride. Miss Glidden is a city girl, educated and refined, belonging”to lmq ot -the 4= most prominent - families i.n_norlhern Illinois. She inherited from her uncle. Joseph F. Glidden, enough capital to enable her to buy thirty. acres of land at $200 an acre :and: equip this little | farm with live Stock and-machinery. She did not start the enterprise in & haphazard way. but..went _about 't systematically after careful study, : It seemed best to her to diversify her products, so that she would not be de. pendent on a single crop. She keeps a large part of the farm in alfalfa and has a record of making $92.50 per acre from this legume in one season, there being three cuttings of the plant. Few people in northern Illinois have reached these figures with alfalfa. Five tons to the acre in three cuttings is considered above the aver- age, and it is not best to cut the plant more frequently than this.. At $18 this makes a return of §00 per acre. All who know anything about farm earn- ings will understand that this is far A LARGE PART OF THE FARM IS KEPT IN ALFALFA. above the average, but similar results can be obtained where intelligent care is given to the cultivation of alfalfa. Miss Glidden at the outset was ambi- tious not only to make her farm a financial success, but to demonstrate the wisdom of having a rotative scheme and of selecting a variety of products for which there is a steady cash demand In provincial towns as well as in large cities. Much of her success comes from management along this line, as she always has two or three smalil fields of highly profitable vegetables. She also has succeeded fairly well in getting two crops from a patch of ground in one season. This is done by producing lettuce, radishes. peas. beets. etc., in the early part of the summer and following them with sweet corn. peppers, spinach, celery and other vegetables which cannot be planted while there is any danger of frost in the spring. This scheme of growing succession crops can be worked in various ways. Land has to be heavily fertilized in the fall. This and thorough cultivation during the growing period will maintain soil fer- tility. Miss Glidden varies from her program in such a way that the labor is evenly distributed throughout the ¥ear, or at least this point is kept in view, but naturally field work becomes pretty heavy in connection with vege- table growing. She has a paying poul- try plant and in a short time will be able to market several beef animals every year. A farm of thirty acres conducted on this plan will yield an income of $2.000 or more after ing for the labor re- quired. "Naturally some seasons will be better than others and profits will not always he the same, but this ener- getic young woman has found a sys- tem of making her farm pay. and her success with thirty acres has made some of the men folks who have much Ierger tracts gasp with astonishment. The day bas come, in the opinion of agricuftural experts. when farms of ten to thirty acres will be made suffl- clent to occupy the time and talents of highly trained and progressive men and women. Both in fact and theory farms are becoming smaller, and esperts now hold that a fair lyving income for a family may be gained from one of these small tracts. Ten acres, if wise- Iy managed. will return an annual profit above operating expenses of $1.500 to $2.500. TLarger places give returns in proportion when the owner has ability and suitable eqnipment. There are plenty of truck and fruit farms in the United States which can show a yearly revenue of more than $500 an acre. Thix only has come about in recent vears since the’ pres- ent high level of produce was reached. and therefore many old fashioned farmers who devote themselves to dai- rles or one or two grain crops are still unaware of what may be accomplished by modern methods.

Stallings is going to need a few‘ot his miracles next season if he romps home with his second Na- tional League penmant. Jawn J. |{McGraw’ will have something to say !:{ where the flag is going to float un- less the signs are wrong. McGraw -awakened to the * fact some weeks ago that his Giant crew was woefully lacking in spots. So Jawn loaded up his purse and went to market. He came back with one of “the best, if not ‘the best, third sacker. in the old league, J. Honus Lobert, who has cavorted around the three-quarter stop for the ¢ Phillies since 1911. That “hole is securely plugged. And in plugging the cavity, Jawn J. also got rid of some dead wood— if not dead, then slightly pithy. This exeess consisted of Al Demaree, prin- cipally: year in 1913 despite.bad health. Mc- Graw picked his games for him and the tall cartoonist came through with flying colors. Last season he fell down badly and Gotham fans hold his and Marquard’s failure, greatly re- sponsible for the pennant going io Boston.. Stock, the second man in the itrade for Lobert, did his best to fill Tillie Schafer’s shoes, but the result |Graw. Adams, a young catcher, goes to the Philadelphia club with- out a trial by McGraw. He was 1914 season. The Giant infield before the depart- iure of Schafer and Herzog, was con- |sidered one of the best in the busi- mirably ‘and a hole through which many games dribbled away last sea- son, will be plugged. However, a great deal of the Ciants’ hopes day with the hurlers, particularly whether Mathewson runs true:to form. If he does, and Mar- quard’s case is settled in favor of |the Giants, McGraw is. going to pre- sent a formidable array of pitching and several promising recruits. Orchard Bark Beetles. Bark beetles, or shot hole horers, cause more or less damage to frait trees every year. They are particular- Iy apt to attack weakened. scale infest- ed trees in cities and in some seasons have been pests of the first order In the peach growing belt along Lake Erie. Some kinds of trees, such as pench and cherry, exude large quanti- ties of gum tirough the holes made by the beetles. and the surface of the bark may be coated over with ‘pints to gal- lons of this gum, depeuding upon the severity of the attack and the size and vigor of the trees. Again, such trees as apple and pear do not gum at all under attack. The small white grubs burrow in charaeteristic fashion in the sapwood. often killing the trees. and THE ORCHARD BARK BEETLE. the minute blackish or Lrownish bee- tles later issue through small openings in the bark resembling fine shot holes. These beetles also do damage by en- tering the twigs at the bases of the buds and by making feeding burrows in the trunks and large limbs of the trees of their choice. The Ohio agricul- tural experiment station recommends as a Dreventive measure against the Dests the creating of an unfavorable environment for propagation, the regu- lar burning of all dead trees each year and that all dead and sickly limbs, branches and stubs be cut away and burned. Very scabby and dead trees should also be removed and burned. Whitewashing and similar treatment as preventive cf attack bave proved of much value. Bids for Wood.
