SEED WHEAT BADLY DAMAGED
is Of Low VitaIity-Make Selec-
ton With Unusual Care.

There IS little or no seed wheat com
ing into the markets owing to the
damage by dampness. II is moldy,
sprOuted, shrunken. rusted. smutted.
and much OF it rotten. Reports of
heating in the bin come from every
direction. termination tests show
that much of the seed is OF low vital
ity and should be selected with IN
usual care
Therefore. it is necessary that every
farmer should test all seed grain for
vitality and every farmers club and
every commercial club in the winter
wheat belt must sound the alarm in
each locality and locate good seed
which will grow. Select the variety
best adapted TO the soil and climate.
II it is necessary to import seed into
the country get as many as possible
to grow the same variety. Fan out
all trash, weed seeds and treat for
smut with formaldehyde.

SUMMER FAllOW IS FAVORED
Keep Land Free From Weeds During
Uneropped Season and Till to Pre-
vent Formation Of Crust.

The success Of dry farming has been
dependent on following out certain
well defined practices. One of the
practices found most necessary is the
summer fallOw. by which crops are
raised only during alternate years and
the land titled during the uncropped
summer in order 10 aid in holding the
moisture. Some farmers think that
il they leave the land uncropped they
are doing all that is necessary. They
allow the weeds to grow in great pro-
fusion. These remove much mois-
ture as crop, so nothing has really
been gained by the so-called fallow.
The only safe way is to keep the land
free from weeds during the uncropped
year and to till often enough TO pre-
vent the formation OF a crust. Tillage
should begin early or the weeds can
not be killed by the harrow or disk.

DOES FILLING AID RAINFALL?
No More Moisture Could Be Evapc-
rated Froz, Cultivated Soil Than
Had Already Fallen as Rain.

Many very optimistic persons have
been comforting themselves with the
idea that the arid conditions in the
West will be improved by increasing
rainfall as a result OF filling a larger
acreage of land. Such persons claim
to have seen I change in climate in
KaLSas and Texas from this cause.
However. the agricultural extension
service states that no more moisture
could be evaporated from the cult
waited soil and crops than had already
fallen in the form of rain, which is
the only source OF moisture in a re-
gion far from large bodies OF water.
Hence, the moisture thus given of
would not increase the rainfall. be-
cause the rainfall itself had nat sup
piled the additional moisture in the
first place.
Weather records in the East kept
for over one hundred years show no
increase in rainfall during that time.
However, il is true that irrigation has
increased the local humidity of arid
valleys perceptibly. but this increase
in local humidity has not increased
the local rainfall The fact is that
improved methods of moisture conser-
walton by tillace. the growing OF
drought-resistant crops and the plant.
ing OF trees has utilized more fully the
existing rainfall. so that fiourishing
crops in place of barren plains give
the general impression that the rain
fall has increased and the climate
changed.
The arid-r.sion faTT2c: should uti-
lie every source of moisture. includ-
ing rainfall. food waters and pumped
water. to insure the success OF his
crops. And then he should always
farm as il the next year were going
TO be the driest in the history OF this
region.

having all these minerals before laem
did not DO so well.
The addition OF q calcium lac ate
found in sour milk and a potassium
phosphate to gluten feed produced
positive results in some Wisconsin
trials by Hart and McCollum. that is
the pig did gain TO 275 pounds on this
mineral gluten feed ration. but no
material growth was secured on gluten
alone. These minerals were fed so
as to approximate in the ration the
mineral content of milk. OF course
potassium and calcium were supplied
in our trial but in a different form
The objection might be raised that
the pigs might not have been suffi-
GENTLY good judges of what was good
for them, to select the correct ration.
But the great practical significance OF
this objection fades into insiGnihcance
when we realize that pigs fed free
