HOW TO GROW RYE.
Climate Soil, Seed, Tillage and Care
Of Rye-Rye Money Crop.
BY c. p. Bull.

National Crop Improvement Service.1
Some important factors in the grow.
Ing of rye set forth in brief by G. P.
Bull, Agricultural Experimental Sta.
ton, University of Minnesota:
Kinds of soil best adapted to grow.
ing rye: Any soil not depleted of it's
fertility, though it will do better on
impoverished land than any of our &C.
reals; sandy loan and loan or clay
loans are best.
Climate best suited to growing rye:
Any spring wheat region will be found
suited to rye. It will also grow we'll
In winter wheat districts, but in the
latitude Of the 45 degree parallel will
probably grow best rye.
Methods of preparing the ground:
Flowing (sub-surface packing If dry),
rolling and disking If lumpy; harrow.
Depth to plow for rye: Depends on
the soil; to Z inches for sandy to
clay soils.
Preparing the seed bed: Depends
On conditions of soil. Make it fine and
firm.
Best fertilizers for rye: Barnyard
manure used with good 4, s. 6 or Z
year rotation of crops.
Disking for rye: Good crops Of fall
rye have been grown on cereal stubble
(crop harvested) when the land was
disked and seed sown; not to be rec
ommended but can be done.
Selecting seed rye: Same as for
wheat-with tanning mill and graders.
Varieties best adapted to soil and
climate Of various states: Native win.
ter varieties for Minnesota and north.
ern climates: Minnesota No. 2 for Min.
pesota and northern climates: spring
rye is not recommended.
Amount Of seed to SOW to the acre:
~ bu. per acre.
Best time for seeding: Sept. / to
Oct. 9Th; best about Sept. 18th.
Where to get seed: In Minnesota
md the northwest get seed stock Of
Minnesota No. q from Experiment
Station, University of Minnesota.
Farmers should grow one variety,
But practically speaking, there is but
one variety commonly grown.
Effect Of freezing in winter and
spring: Winter rye is perfectly hardy.
Best treatment for rye diseases:
Smut does not bother rye. Ergot is
bad. Use pure seed stock. Grade
seed and rotate crops and use grading
mill most vigorously and long.
Insect enemies of rye-how to COM
bat: Does not seem to be bothered to
my appreciab1e extent.
How to take care of crop after har-
vest: Shock; thresh at once as soon
rs dry, or stack. It will not pay to
stack If it can be threshed from shock.
Rye as food for animals: A little
heavy-laxative.
Rye as human food: o. K. More
Of it should be used. People have q
false idea of what is best for health
md fashion.
Rye as cover crop: A good cover
srop.
Value Of rye as green manure: One
pf the best-the best not counting the
legumes.
Profits in rye growing compared to
,ther grains: A top notcher. Just as
good as any when properly grown.
Rye as q forage crop: Excellent
pliers great opportunities as a green
pasture both fall and spring, and will
.fterward produce q profitable seed

It is understood that European
stockholders Of the Great Northern
will ask for an investigation. The
road has never missed a dividend, but
there are fears about the next one. It
has leaked out that the walters in
dining cars, with reckless abandon
and rnougntless prodigality foreign to
every tradition of the road, have been
placing glassful of toothpicks before
the diners, instead Of only one tooth
pick to the plate. The shock 1has con-
fused so many of the patrons that they
nave been unable to count their change
aud have only came back to normal
conditions after long rest in the
smoking compartment. Jupiter nodded
occasionally, and SO it is not surprising
that this toothpick matter may have
escaped Mr.. Hill. He will need all
the resources Of his fertile mind to
properly explain to the stockholders
how this slip occurred. And the caitiff
in charge Of that car! We tremble to
think what will happen to him.

One Of the democratic members Of
the legislature didn't like it because
someone said something about "demo-
cratic barnacles.' When the session IS
over the democratic members will be
Judged by their votes and actions on
progressive measures, and will be a
test Of whether anyone of them is a
barnacle and a clog on legislation the
people desire or a helper in achieving
desired results.

Governor Eberhart endorses the In
itiative and Referendum in his mes
sage. It's pretty near unanimous now
and this important legislation should
go through this winter. The percent
ages should be workable, not too high
nor too low. The folks who are con-
eerned about the people cutting them
selves with this proposed new tool, are
folks who really would rather the
people didn't have the tool at all.

Union labor is standing by most Of
the men convicted at Indianapolis, and
naturally and properly SO. They will not
accept the result as final until the
highest court so declares. If the nation
al government were as tenacious and
energetic in sending a lot Of corrupt
industrial magnates to Jail as it has
been in the case Of the labor leaders,
there would be less criticism of the
Indianapolis trial.

The advocacy Of reform measures by
men not at heart, or, judging by their
record, favorably inclined to such
measures, is generally looked on with
suspicion, and with reason. While the
light holds out to burn, Of course the
vilest sinner may return, and re.
pentance should not be questioned if
accompanied by good works. 1t will
pay, however, to closely scrutinize
legislation fathered by these gentry.
The joker may be there, or the loop
hole of evasion, or methods to make a
law unpopular by making it clumsy
and difficult in execution and slow in
operation.

ATLANTIC CITY ASKS FIRST
GRADE CROSSING REMOVAL

TRENTON, n. j.. March 1S-The
State Board of Public Utility Com
missioners has just received from At
lantic City its first petition for the
removal of grade crossings under the
new Fielder grade crossing bill. The
petition was filed pursuant to a reso~
luton passed by the Atlantic City
commission 1t asks the State board
ito have the Pennsylvania Railroad
remove the dangerous crossings from
Missouri avenue to North Carolina
avenue inclusive. Eleven crossings
are involved and the city commission
wants the tracks elevated.
The Fielder act provides that after
such petition is filed the Utility
Commission shall fix the time and
place for a hearing before it deter
mines whether the crossings should
be ordered removed. Following such
hearing the State board may make
whatever order it deems is justified
AS the new law puts the entire ex-
pense of grade crossing removal upon
the railroad companies. except under
certain minor conditions, the Utility
Board expects to be flooded with such
petitions in a short time.
