RYE AS FORAGE CROP.

National Crop Improvement Service.1
The great tendency of late years has
been to grow more forage Of the plants
Of the grass family and their use for
this purpose is likely to increase as
grain feeds become more expensive.
Forage cropping affords opportunity
for more complete system Of crop
rotation as does grain farming. On
all stock or dairy farming, rotation
should be arranged so as to include
grasses and smaller cereals and grow
grain for silage or for grain. A yalu-
able rotation on dairy farms will be
found to be six years plan con-
sisting of:
First, rye sown after grass with
clover as a cover crop.
Second, corn with corn crop of
rye or clover.
Third, oats.
Fourth, clover and mixed grasses to
70 continued for three years.

RYE IN COLD CLIMATES.
Rye Harder Than Wheat-Will Grow
in Cold Weather When Wheat
Lies Dormant In the Ground.
BY II. e. Kruger.

National Crop Improvement Serv;ce]
Rye is the typical grain of the cold
temperature climate. For it's germina-
ton the minimum heat requirement
Is 80 to SO degrees Fahrenheit; the
maximum SO F., and the best tempera-
ture II degrees F.
When the soil temperature is 80 to
Il degrees Fahrenheit, rye terminates
in four days. It withstands cold down
to 10 degrees F., and it grows In win
ter when the temperature is q few
degrees above freezing point (32 de-
grees).
Rye is much more hardy than
wheat. When wheat lies dormant
rom cold, rye grows readily.

FIVE YEAR ROTATION.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
The following rotation will b
found quite satisfactory in many cases
where quack grass or thistles are bad:
LIST Year.-Rye, land plowed medium
deep, using jointer to turn under
weeds. Disced frequently until o.
tober 18th; replowed deeply before
freezing.
End Year.-Barley. seeded to clover.
Sd Year. Glover, plow under second
crop August list, cultivate frequently.
lth Year.-Corn, thoroughly cult
waited, hand hoed if necessary.
'th Year.-Barley or other grain.

SEED PLATS.

National Crop Improvement Service.]
There is great difference In the
grain grown in the same field and
under the same conditions, and the
farmer should learn the Importance Of
selecting sound, healthy plants from
all over the field in all cases. Even
where they have not a mixture of
other varieties, there will always be
q great variation among the plants.
The best procedure, however, is to
make constant use of a regular seed
plat which is simply a small space of
one acre or more, depending upon the
size of the farm, in which enough
seed grain is grown, none Of it being
sold in the usual manner, but all be-
Ing used for sowing the regular cror
u the next year.

VARIETIES OF RYE.
Prof. V. C.. Plummer.


National Crop Improvement Service.1
Rye cross-pollinates so readily that
but very few varieties have become
we'll established. Named varieties
frequently appear, but they do not re.
main as fixed market varieties for
any length of time. But little effort
has been made by seedsmen to intro
duce or promote good varieties Of rye;
and experiment stations have been
slow to develop new varieties from the
stocks at hand. The Minnesota Elk.
pertinent Station has had numerous
varieties under trial since 1900, and
has given considerable attention to
breeding and selecting superior
strains. One nursery bred variety has
been introduced widely in, the state,
md has met with considerable favor.

RYE IN ROTATION.
Rye Takes the Place Of Winter Wheat
in Rotation.
BY L. c. Burnett, Agronom|st.

National Crop Improvement Service.]
The place of rye n rotation is an
i'm portant factor. In some parts Of
tho East, rye takes the place of winter
wheat in rotation. Every careful
farmer soon comes to know that q
certain filth or condition of soil may
be expected from certain crops. The
rotation must adapt itself to the
farmers business-to the support of
live stock, If he is a dairyman or
stock farmer, to the demands Of the
grain trade, if he is grain farmer,
etc. It must adapt itself to the soil
and fertility problem. The chief pur-
pose of a rotation is to recuperate
worn and depleted lands. In such case,
the frequent recurrence Of luguminous
crops is prominently desirable. Rye
aerves excellently as a rotation crop

KILL THE WEEDS.
BY Manson Campbell, Manson Camp
bell Co.

National Crop Improvement Service.1
The best way to kill weed, is to
FIRST, before planting fan or grade your
seed so there will be no danger of
planting weed seeds. All small grain
contain more or less weed seeds and
dirt. -
Every farmer can do this work on
his own farm with his own grader. If
he has no grader, get one. It does not
pay to plant weeds. Weeds that are
already in the soil and come up may
be erad1cated by sprinkling with a
solution of iron sulphate, which will
not injure the rye.
