The Potato wart.

Now there is a new potato enemy
reported from the far west This time
it is the "wart disease" 1t affects the
tubers in the ground, forming large,
unsightly warts, and in severe at
tack completely destroying the crop.
1t is a fungus growth, and once the
soil is polluted with it several years
mast pass before it is safe to crop the
same land to potatoes again.
The disease appeared first in Hun
gary in 1896. 1t has spread to other
parts of Europe, including England.
There is danger that it may spread to
Ireland. st has been carried to New
foundland, from which there is danger
1t may be brought to Canada and the
United States.
The fungus is spread by using af-
tected potatoes for planting, SO 1t is
extremely important that questionable
seed should be scientifically treated
before planting.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture has recently issued cir
cular (for free distribution) giving
brief account of the potato wart di-
sease-National Magazine.

wind-Mims In semi-Arid-we.t.


The rainfall in the semi-arid west
being always light. settlement in that
section is to a certain extent hazard
Gus, but the millions of acres now
barren, which would prove rich and
fertile If irrigated are now attracting
eastern farmers who are prone to risk
failure in view of the possibilities n
years Of favorable precipitation. Some
OF this land will be reclaimed through
irrigation, and the growing of drought
resistant crops and the adoption OF
improved methods of culture will do
much to make the farming of these
lands less hazardous. But there have
been many deplorable failures which
could have been averted, had the
settlers fortified themselves against
periods of drought by irrigating small
parts of their holdings.
1t is with view Of helping such
that the feasibility of pumping water
for the irrigation Of small areas in
connection with dry land farming of
more extensive areas was investigated
by the irrigation office of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Large wind movement provides a
cheap source of power for lifting un
derground water, and the results OF
these investigations are embodied in a
farmers bulletin (No 394) entitled.
THE Use of Windmills in Irrigation
in the Semi-arid West" Just issued by
the department. The possibility OF this
is set out in simple comprehensive
way, and practical suggestions are
made to those who are now using or
are contemplating the use of wind
mills for pumping water for irrigation.
The data given for plants on the great
plains show, however, that the wind
mill is not a cheap source of power,
that to accomplish this result requires
capital, and that If the conditions re-
quire too great outlay 1t precludes the
possibility of such a procedure.
The bulletin treats on the sources of
water supply, the quantity of water
available, well casing, sinking wells,
capacity of mills, choice OF tower, cree
ton Of mills, pumps, reservoirs, main
tenance OF mills, crops under windmill
irrigation and closes with a descrfp-
ton of methods and mills now In use
in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and
California.

sheen and Paature.

Stockmen will be gratified to learn
that Uncle Sam Is studying means Of
using sheep to regenerate oyergrazed
ranges Unique experiments now be-
ing conducted by the United States
at the experiment station within the
Walloka national forest in northeast.
ern Oregon demonstrate that the graz
ing of sheep under proper restrictions
Is an important factor in the work of
reseeding overgrazed ranges.
The problem being studied Is that
of restoring TO depleted ranges their
original covering OF mountain bunch
grass. This grass is one of the most
important Of the summer forage plants
in the higher ranges Of the northwest
and its rapid disappearance from the
ranges by reason of overstocking could
only be regarded as direct economic
loss to the stockmen. Special atten.
tion has therefore been given to the
restoration OF the grass by the head
of the forest service, and his latest re-
port shows that thorough reseeding
has been secured upon the areas to
which protective grazing system has
been applied.
In the initial stages three different
methods of reseeding we're used. Upon
one area the seed was allowed to drop
to the ground without treatment. The
seed was brushed in with a brush,
drag or harrow on the second tract
and upon the third tract band OF
sheep was passed over the area In a
compact body twice. This summer II
has been found that the area not
treated has the lightest stand of seed
lings, while the resulting Seeding
stand on the other two areas showed
but little variation in density, but
later. during the period Of drought
the seedlings on the area brushed over
died out badly, while on the area upon
which the sheep narrowed ia the seed
there was very little loss.
Closer examination developed the
fact that the root systems OF the seed.
which had been trampled ia were one
half TO one inch deeper in the soil
than the root systems OF the seed
which had been brushed In this con-
dition being due to the soil more deep
ly by the sheep shan by the brush
harrow.
So far as the Investigation has been
carried It indicates that denser and
more drouth resistant stand Of BUSH
grass can be secured where the sheep
are allowed on an area after the plants
have seeded and dropped the seed than
where they are excluded throughout
the entire season.

Herefords ms Mixers.

Some of the Hereford breeders have
begun a campaign to bring the milk
ing quantities of the breed more to
the front. So far the whitefaces have
been doomed solely as producers of
high class beef, but the ordinary
ranchman needs a cow that does well
at the pail. England has several herds
of dairy Herefords that are very prof
liable, with the fat content second in
volume only to the Jersey, and since
this feat may be accomplished. no
time should be lost in adjusting the
breed to present-day conditions. Prof
liable milking qualities are inherent
In Herefords as well as Shorthorns,
and should be developed.

Movable House for Breeding Sows.

Individual Lighthouses are construct
ed in many ways. Some have four
upright walls and a shed roof, which
are separate and can be easily taken
down and replaced. These small
houses can be moved about very easily.
The size of the house will depend
upon conditions. Any farmers with
tools can easily put up one of these
houses. With the individual houses
the sow at narrowing time may be
kept alone and there will not be too
large a number of pigs in small lot
If kept in this The danger of spread
ing diseases among the animals is also
reduced to a minimum where swine
are kept more isolated in this way.
When properly bedded and cared for
no disastrous diseases need be feared.

Avoid fresh manure and wet, mucky
soil
A light, loamy soil is best for pea
culture.
spring-sown peas are more produc-
tive than those late sown.
The dwarf varieties can be drilled at
Is inches if hoed by hand.
When the peach tree is in bloom
the drilling of peas may be safely COM
menced
Table peas should be picked from
the vines when about two-thirds de-
yeloped, as then they are tender and
luscious.
Four seeds to the inch is a good
ratio in sowing peas in rows. The
plants can be afterward thinned out
to two to the inch.
Early pease do best on good, warm
loamy soil, not over-rich, but yet not
poor When too rich, the growth runs
more TO vines than peas.
Wrinkled peas seldom ripen as COM
pIetely as round ones, and are more
apt to decay under some soil condi-
tions, especially in cold or wet wealth
sr. The reason is that the wrinkle6
varieties are soft, while the round
ones are hard.
When ready for use pick all pods
from vines. If allowed to riDen new
