THE HAZELHURST NEWS
Ain’t It the Truth
Tree Tops Aie Best
. - -y
~ Guide for Cutting
fl '
Look Up and Then Down,
Sdys Extension Forester.
“Look up and then down! Let the
tops be your gulde!” Is the message
that E. L. Scovell, extension forester
of New Jersey, is constantly stressing
to woodlot owners.
“Far too often woodlot owners in
trying to thin out thelr young timber
growth make the mistake of paying
too little attention to the tops of the
trees. In so doing they are overlook
ing the easiest and surest guide,” as
serts Mr, Scovell,
“The size, shape, and condition of
the tops of trees are the best indi
cators of their relative health and
vigor. Trees that have full, vigorous
tops which reach up into the sun
light are likely to be the strongest
and best trees in the stand. . Trees
that have thin, small tops which are
partially or entirely overshaded by
larger trees are likely to be the weak
lings of the stand. Therefore, if the
woodlot owner first looks up to form
an estimate of the tops of the trees
‘and then looks down to note the condi
tion and character of the stem, he can
decide most accurately which trees
to leave as his timber crop and which
trees to weed out. He will be sur
orised to discover how easy it is to
pick out the weaklings and the poorly
formed trees and to leave a full crop
of healthy, vigorous, and well-formed
individuals.”
Poor Apple Varieties
Should Be Top-Worked
Because of the advisability of re
ducing the number of varieties of ap
ples grown in New Jersey, growers
will find it to their advantage to top
graft worthless varieties to desirable
kinds, says the department of pomol
ogy at the New Jersey State College
of Agriculture, Rutgers university.
Numerous odd and unprofitable
sorts are grown in the state, many of
which should be removed entirely,
while others sould be -profitably top
worked to standard varieties which
are well adapted for market produc
tion. "
Top-working may be done success
fuly on trees less than twenty-five
yeirs old, provided the. following pre
cantions are observed: The trees
should be healthy; not headed too
high; the scaffold limbs should be
siitably located so that a desirable
shape will result after grafting;
cions should be taken from well-ma
tured terminal ~ shoots or water
sprouts.
With trees that are not more than
five or six years old, all the new
grafts may be inserted at one time.
However, with older trees it is often
preferable to spend two or three
years cutting away only part of the
leaf-bearing surface at one time and
thereby insuring proper development
of the grafts and the rest of the
tree.
Desirability of Having
Organic Matter in Soil
One of the important explanations
of the desirabilily of having a quan
tity of humus or decomposing organic
matter in the soil, is found in the ca
pacity of humus for soaking up and
storing water which is thus made
available later for use by growing
plants. Experiments have revealed
that 10 pounds of sand can hold only
25 pounds of water, and 100 pounds
of clay soil can hold half its weight
in water. In contrast, 100 pounds of
decaying organic matter may hold as
much as 190 pounds, or nearly twice
its weight of water. Most soils are
mixtures in varying proportions of
sand, clay, silt and organic material.
As a rule the greater the proportion of
organic matter contained in the soil
the greater its water-absorptive ca
pacity, and the greater reserves of
moisture it; will retain for resistance
to droughty and hot weather,

Keeping Scales
.‘—? N 8 3
- Clean, Essentj
) ',‘ " ’ e : .',
Slight Displacement-of Poise
May Result in Error
in Weight.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A suggestion to weighmasters al
public stock yards issued recently by
the packers and stock yards division
may also serve as a caution to farmers
and live stock producers who main
tain scales on their farms, the United
States Department of Agriculture be
lieves,
Attention to Details.
“It is essential,” said the statement
authorized by Dr. John R, Mohler,
chief of the bureau of animal industry,
“that weighmasters give careful atten
tion to the smallest details. Alertness,
on their part may enable them to rec
ognize and prevent the development of
conditions, apparently triflihg, which,
however, may affect the weights ob
tained over the scales. [For instance,
it is important that the weighmaster
keep the notches of the béam clean.
A little dirt, causing a- sliglit’ displace
ment of the poise, may* result in an”
appreciable error in the weight. Ina.
recent test it was found that, owing
to an accumulation of dust in the
notches, one of them was 12 pounds
slow. This meant a loss to the seller
of 12 pounds for every draft weighed
over the scale in which this notch
was used.
Using Compressed Air.
“It may be of interest to know that
compressed air is now being used to |
clean the working parts of scales at |
one of the markets. An air compressor
operated by a small gasoline engine
and mounted on a yard wagon is
pulled up to the scales and used for |
blowing out dust, dirt, and rust from
round the pivots and bearings of .the
scale.” 25
Alfalfa Thrives Best .. ;-
in Well-Prepared Bed
Alfalfa does best sowed in a seed
bed that is firm below the surface but
has the surface in good tilth and free
from weeds, says John'¥.: Bairon of
the New York State College of Agri
culture at Ithaca, N. Y. i
If alfalfa is seeded with spring
grain, fall-plowed ‘Tand ‘gives’ Best re
sults. But if the land:was - not-plowed
last fall, it should be plowed early:
in the spring and seeding should be
delayed as long as possible. “Alfalfa
cannot do well if the land is plowed
today and the seed is sowed tomor
row!” he says.
On land that is plowed this spring,
the best practice is to plow early and
then wait until June 15 or.July«l to
sow the seed. At this time, of course,
alfalfa would be sowed alone, -
Alfalfa usually does mnot ‘do. well
when it is sowed in either fall-sowed
or spring-sowed grain, for even
though the seed bed is firm, the sur
face is not in good tilth, Then, too,
the grain overshadows the alfalfa and
tends to choke it out.
Green Manure Crops Are
Becoming of Importance
Green manure crops are becoming of
greater importance each year on Amer
ican farms for the reason that the new
land is gone and the old must be main
tained in fertility., There is, however,
no cash value to a green manure crop
and the tendency is to avoid planting
one if it is not absolutely mecessary.
White sweet clover has been pastured
successfully with no apparent loss in
the improvement value of''the crop
when plowed under. It does not make
as good hay as alfalfa, yet it is toler
able if handled properly. Best of all
the seed is not expensive. At 15 to
20 pounds per acre the cost is some
where around $2 an acre. Compared
with two or three times that cost for
other legumes the difference is strik
ing. Even the much talked of soy
beans will cost $4 an acre to seed.
All of these factors make white sweet
clover stand out as‘a crop worth be
coming ' acquainted 'with and worth
learning; how. t(: handle., . .. ..
