IMMENSE QUANTITY
OF WHEAT TIED UP
There viii Still, However, Be a
Heavy Deficit Of the Worlds
Normal Crop.


A grain expert who has been watch
Ing the grain markets and the worlds
grain fields for a number Of years,
says:--
There Is at the present time about
two billion bushels OF wheat, the pro-
duction OF the countries at war. tied
up. This Is about one-half the worlds
total production OF wheat, which is
four billion bushels. One writer ar
CUES that. granting that the warning
nations produce one-half crop in
the coming year. q deficit OF one bill
lion bushels will still be shown. The
three countries upon which the filling
OF this deficit Of one billion bushels
will rest are the United States. Can.
ada. and Argentina. The combined
output OF these three countries is only
$4,000. 900. their exportable surplus
would OF course be much less, so II
can easily be seen that the question
is not one to be easily solved and It
behooves all the above countries to
increase their respective productions
as much as they possibly can. for
when the war is over and trade begins
TO re-establish itself and the nations
undergo a process of rehabilitation.
the demand for all breadstuffs will be
enormous.
During the three years following
the declaration OF peace the farmers
of all neutral wheat-produclng coun.
tries will have ample opportunity to
market their wheat at good prices,
and 1t may safely be assumed that the
demand will be heavy. Canada has
an unusual opportunity In that she
has the natural environment for wheat
production; she Is under the protec-
tion OF the British flag. and she will
not be molested upon the water to
any great extent; she can increase
her acreage and greatly enhance her
production. In other words. she can
become a far greater wheat-producing
country than she is at the presen.
time"
II the summing-up as made by this ex-
pert be correct. Is there not the very
best reason for the continued effort
that Is being made by the Government
OF the Dominion OF Canada to secure
settlers on the productive vacant
lands OF the country? Not only are
these lands capable OF producing high
class wheat In large quantities, but
cattle. pigs. sheep and horses also do
well. The climate is admirably suited.

The proper housing OF swine is best
accomplished by using central hog
house with a number OF colony pens.
The large central house is well suited
for winter shelter and spring farrow-
ing. The portable houses are espe-
cially useful for housing different
classes and sizes OF hogs Ia separate
fields, particularly during summer or
after farrowing.
Portable hog houses have been used
satisfactorily for a good many years.
They are quite generally in use by
breeders OF pure-bred swine where
they often find II more satisfactory to
quarter but a few animals together.
The farmer who produces swine for
the market and depends on a large
central hog house will also find a few
portable pens very useful In separ.
ately housing odd lots OF swine.

SUDAN GRASS ON DRY LANDS
Where Climatic Conditions Are Suit.
ed II ls Most Promising Annual
Hay Crop Yet Tried.

(By ALVIN KEYsER. Colorado Expert.
ment Statlon.)
previous article on Sudan grass
has aroused so much letter inquiry
that II is thought that further ex-
PLANTATION in regard TO the crop would
be helpful
Sudan grass belongs to the sor-
ghum family OF plants. It is finer
stemmed than cane and natures In
a shorter season. Like all sorghums,
however. II is distinctly warm
weather plant. There are very few
localities where 1t will do well at
attitudes higher than 5000 feet. In
some favored locations It can be
grown somewhat higher than that. It
Is generally adapted to the Colorado
plains conditions as a dry land an
nual crop.
II cannot be pastured, but makes
a very rapid growth when warmth
and moisture conditions are proper.
II can be expected to yield as much
as a ton per acre on practically all of
the dry lands worth cultivating and
In fairly favorable seasons may go as
high as four tons per acre.
Sudan grass is good producer and
will harvest seed at the rate of 300
up to as high as 1000 pounds per acre
under the very best conditions. I'm
der ordinary dry land conditions seed
yields of 500 to 1000 pounds per acre
are not unusual.
On the dry lands this crop should
be planted in rows and cultivated. II
is not especially adapted for irrigated
conditions. although II will make a
heavy growth as an annual hay crop
II II Is desired to use II for such pur.
poses. In the Arkansas valley. the
season Is long enough and hot encneh
to make two crops most years under
irrigation. Under dry land conditions
one crop is all that can be expects d
except In unusually wet seasons.
Where climatic conditions are warm
enough. Sudan grass is the most
promising annual hay crop yet tried.
1t will not do well In the higher alti.
tudes where the nights are cool the
seasons short and the days often cool
When seeded In rows, Ave or six
pounds per acre is amply sufficient
The rows should be put from three
to three and onehalf feet apart in
order to permit of cultivation. Seed
ed broadcast. ten to fifteen pounds
is efficient under dry land conditions
