Farming in the carly settlement days in St. Clair county was crude and wasteful, little attention being given to proper sced-bred prepar- ation, seed selection, crop rotation, and fertilization, with the result that yields on many farms steadily de- creased. As the cause of the lower- ing yields became apparent, more

attention was given to remedial measures, and at present there is a general tendency among the farmers to improve the crops by careful seed selection and treating for diseases and insects, and to increase the pro- ductivity of the soil by crop rotation, manuring, liming, use of phosphatic. fertilizers and the growing of legumes such as clover, cow-peas, soy beans, alfalfa and sweet clover. In order to facilitate this soil- and-crop-improve- ment work there was organized in 1918 the St. Clair County Farm Burcau. This bureau has been operating since June 1.
Value of Agricultural Products.
At the present, grain growing is the leading type of agriculture in the county, with livestock farming, in- cluding the raising of beef cattle, hogs and dairying, as an important adjunct. The principal crops are wheat, corn, oats, potatoes, clover. timothy and alfalfa. The value of all cercals produced in 1909 was $4,761,122. Wheat was grown on 114,907 acres with a total yield of 2,021,081 bushels or 17 bushels an acre, according to the census of 1909. Corn was grown on 63,093 acres, yielding 34 bushels an acre or a total of 2,205,- 178 bushels. Irish potatoes .werc grown on 7,079 acres, yielding 820,743 bushels.
The total value of livestock is re- ported as $1,010,937. Hog raising constitutes an important branch of the livestock industry. Nearly every farmer fattens from 20 to 50 hogs a ycar. Hog raising has been disas- trously affected at times by the .prevalence of hog cholera. Much attention is now being given to hog- cholera vaccination work and there is an awakening to the value of sani- tary measures in combating this discase. The principal hog breeds are the Duroc-Jersey, Poland China and Berkshire.
There are only a few flocks of sheep in the county, and sheep rais- ing does not receive the attention it deserves. The industry offers splen- did commercial possibilities. The census reports only 1,026 sheep and goats in the county.
Poultry is kept on all farms and constitutes an important source of income. There is an unexcelled local demand for poultry products and increased attention is being given to improvement of the stock. Some excellent flocks of Barred Rocks, Leghorns, and Rhode Island Reds are found in the county.
Nature of the Soils.
The soils of St. Clair county may be divided on the basis of physio- graphy into two groups, upland and
35

first bottom. The upland soils are . in the southern part of the county. loessal and glacial in origin.
The loessal material covers the western part of the upland extending from the vicinity of Millstadt, south- cast beyond Freeburg, and thence north along Silver creek into Madi- son county in the vicinity of Lebanon. This soil is a porous, priable, brown- silt loam grading gradually into a light brown silty-clay loam.
The glacial material in St. Clair county gives rise to two classes of soil, one a light gray silt over tight clay and the other a brown silt loam. The gray silt loam lies in the southern part of the county. The subsoil is very impervious and dram- age conditions are apt to be imper- fect. The brown silt loam lies in the northeastern part of the county. It includes small areas of black silt loam. It is somewhat higher in agricultural valuc than the gray silt loam.
The first-bottom soil material comes from two main sources. That along the smaller streams, including the Kaskaskia river, is derived from local upland material. That in the flood plain of the Mississippi riven has been formed from heterogen- cous deposits brought down by that stream, including material derived not only from the local uplands but also from other soil provinces. The bottoms comprise some of the richest soils pof the county and are well adapted to a wide range of crops and moisture condition.
Present Tendencies in Agriculture Development.
With the formation of the St. Clair' County Farm Bureau there has come a great stimulus to the work in soil, crop, and livestock improvement. While it is too carly to state with any definiteness the things that have been accomplished, the bureau has con- ducted an active campaign looking towards increasing the use of ground limestone and phosphatic fertilizers. for soil building. At least 350 car- load's of ground limestone are being used in the county this year. Numer_ Wus tests show that large areas of soil in the county need as much as, three tons of ground limestone to correct the acidity. The greatest acidity is found in the gray silt loam
There are few soil areas in the county which would not be greatly benefited by applications of ground limestone. The importance of liming is clearly shown by the fact that clover is beginning to fail very seri- ously on many farms. One case is on record where a man has failed to get a stand of clover on a certain piece of land for the last 10 years but a small strip of this soil- was limed a year ago and the stand of clover is perfect on this strip, where- as the unlimed land again has' a com- plete clover failure. This is but one of hundreds of instances of this kind -in the county.
Liming for clover is of the great- est importance because clover bears a closer relation to the problem of permanent soil enrichment in St. Clair county than any other one crop. By growing a good crop of clover once in three or four years, the far- mer becomes independent of the fer- tilizer industry for his supply of ni- trogen, which at present prices is costing 40 cents a pound. If he feeds the crop to his animals and conserves the manure he maintains his soil in the most economical manner. A ton of clover returned to the soil supplies about 40 pounds of nitrogen to the soil in the most readily obtainable form for plants. On the other hand, the nitrogen added to the soil in an acre application of 150 pounds of an' ordinary 2-10-2 fertilizer amounts to only three pounds per acre, and a 75- bushel corn trop will remove in the grain alone 75 pounds of nitrogen. There is, therefore, no surer way to soil depletion and ultimate bank- ruptcy than to neglect the supplying of nitrogen through clover or other legumes.
Aside from the immediate effects on the fertility of the soil, rotating with clover enables one to control corn-root not or the so-called fusar- ium disease which is becoming more and more serious in all parts of this state. Recent studies have shown that the yields of corn are lowered by as much as 20 per cent by the rav- ages of this fungus disease.
Coupled with the use of lime should come an increased use of phosphatic fertilizer. Extensive studies by the University of Illinois have shown
36
.

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, ST. CLAIR AND MONROE COUNTIES
that phosphorus is the limiting cle- ment of plant food in St. Clair county soils as well as in most soils of the statc. The use of a phosphatic fer- tilizer is therefore a fundamentally necessary and scientifically correct method of building up the fertility ot our soils.
Livestock in St. Clair County.
.
In connection with the livestock improvement work in the county, stress should first of all be placed, upon the introduction of better-bred sires. This improvement can prob- ably be best affected with dairy cat- tle through the organization of bull clubs in different parts of the county. Such work is being contemplated by the farm bureau and should bring about a very decided improvement in the quality of our dairy cows. Better sires are also needed to head the herds of swine as well as the poultry. flocks. With poultry, for example, rescarch has established the fact that high-laying hens do not directly transmit their high egg-laying abil- ity to their female offspring. They do transmit it to the male offspring so that if we wish to make any pro- gress in breeding for higher egg production we cannot give too much attention to the quality of the male bird. It is to the solution of this problem of animal breeding that the farm' bureau is directing its atten- tion. Already a large number of farm flocks have been carefully culled with the view of getting rid of the non-laying or unprofitable hens. This work has been highly successful to date, the results having shown that just as many eggs are being pro- duced in many flocks after 50 per cent or more of the hens had been discarded as unprofitable winter lay- ers. Along with this systematic se- lection, such points as proper feed- ing and housing are emphasized.
.
In order to bring about a more sys- tematic sale of pure bred livestock it is the purpose to organize, in the near future, the St. Clair County Purebred Livestock Association. This will enable the livestock breeders to organize into committees such as the Duroc-Jersey Association, enabling them to co-operate in the develop- ment of their particular breeds. A decided advantage from such organ-
-
izations comes through concerted advertising and in the holding of an- ual sales.
In the way of crop improvement, increasing attention is being given towards the introduction of proper varieties of wheat and corn and the improvement of the seed by selection. Recent trials have shown the very great profits resulting from the formaldehyde treatment of wheat and oats for smut. This work is being rapidly pushed until it promises to stamp out this disease of the cereals.
Good Prospect for Fruit Growing.
The locssal soil of St. Clair County comprises the best fruit land in the state of Illinois. This soil covers practically onc-third of the total arca of the county. Already a few highly successful commercial or- chards are found on this soil and hun- dreds of small family orchards are in existence. However, it is no longer possible to grow fruit of high flavor and quality without resorting to spraying for the control of insects and diseases. The very great suc- cess attending such work on. the commercial orchards in the county, and the ideal adaptability of our loessal soil for fruit growing, war- rant such an extension of the indus- try as to make it one of the most profitable phases of farming ir. the county.
In general, St. Clair county offers a very wide field for agacultura. production, including unexcel'edi op- portunities for livestock husbandry and horticulture. The count; is al- ready one of the leading wheat-pro- ducing centers of the state and in the production of Irish potatoes it holds a prominent rank. There is an at- tractive field therefore for settlers' who are interested in a highly spec- ialized agriculture. Aside from its great commercial possibilities the price of farm land has not as yet risen to the staggering heights of lands in other parts of the state and in north Missouri and lowa, so that from an investment standpoint the county of- fers exceptional opportunities. The St. Clair County Federal Farm Loan Association is in operation and guar- antees the farmer money at a low rate of interest and upon the most favorable terms.
