CONTROL OF WILD OATS.
Rotation of Crops Best Method of
Eradication.

In many of the grain sections Of
Minnesota wild oats are exceedingly
troublesome. They are, however,
common cnly in grain-growing Sec
tions. and need not worry anyone
when a system of rotation is prac-
ticed Wild oats are troublesome
where grain is grown continuously,
from the fact that they mature more
quickly than do the common grain
crops AS consequence, large por-
tion of the seed is shattered off on the
ground before the grain crop is cut,
thus reseeding the field for several
years, even though clean seed grain
is sown.
Another source of infection is from
sowing seed that is not free from wild
oats 1t is rather hard to clean seed
grain of wild oats, If one saves but
a few bushels more seed than is need
ed. and must save practically all OF
the seed cleaned If one starts with
an abundance of seed grain, as we be-
Iieve is practical, and grades out from
10 to SO per cent of the heaviest,
plumpest seed to be used for seed. he
can get this practically free from wild
oats and other weed-seeds, and can
leave the weed-seeds in the balance
of the grain to be marketed or fed.
Grain containing wild oats, that is
fed to horses or cattle. should always
be ground as the Wild oats will pass
through the digestive tract of animals
and still grow.
Two plots at the University Farm
illustrate we'll the control of wild oats
by means Of rotation of crops. These
two plots are separated by a two-foot
alley. One grows wheat continuously;
s the other is cropped under a five-year
rotation system consisting of corn,
wheat, grass two years. and oats.
The plot growing grain continuously
is always infested with Wild oats, in
spite of the fact that only clean seed
is used; while the rotation plot is
never troubled with the pest. The two
grass crops and the one corn crop
grown every five years prevent the
wild oats from seeding Consequently,
they never get a start IN this plot

Why Not Better
Fed Cattle?
Every Sale of Unfinished Live
Stock Means a Loss.

= - y y y r - =. = y y - r - y - F
The Division of Agricultural Exten-
sion recently sent out list of ques-
tons to live stock shippers in various
regions of Minnesota; and among the
questions was the following: "Is the
live stock in your locality fed long
enough to bring satisfactory prices?"
Ii is surprising to find that nearly 100
per cent of the replies state that cat
tie are not fed long enough to bring
satisfactory prices Let us ask our
selves what such a statement means
Cattle that should be kept, on the
average Minnesota farm. until finished
and fit to go on the market, if they
are to bring to the farmers the maxi
mum return, are sold to feeders from
other states. The choicest or best of
these are put on the market by said
feeders. and are purchased by the
packers to supply the ordinary grade
of meat. The balance-purchased by
feeders from Iowa, Illinois and Mime
sota-are put into the feed-lot and fin
ished for market.
Few realize the amount of money
Minnesota is losing every year by
such operations. Every sale of un-
finished cattle represents a loss to
the farmer. who has fed and raised
them up to the time they are two or
three years old. The men who are
constantly buying cattle on the mar
-ket for feeding purposes plan to buy
on a margin so wide as to insure to
themselves reasonable profit. The
aim is to use up a large amount of
roughage and grain, produced on their
farms, which would otherwise be
waste, or put on the market. carrying
away with it many dollars worth Of
fertility
Granting that many of the the cattle
which are sold in this manner are not
of the best type for feeding purposes,
we must not overlook the fact that
they are sold at figures allowing a
wide margin to the purchaser at the
stock yards; said margin represent
ing the loss which is borne by the
