Because it is a useful crop for both
his stock and his own family, the
farmer will find that it will pay him
to give more attention to rape than it
usually receives. AS human food,
when it is often known as smooth or
spring kale, it is quite as good as
kale or c0llards and may be prepared
in the same way. AS feed for hogs,
sheep, COWS and chickens, it is the
most important plant Of the cabbage
family. The seed is also cheap, re-
failing usually at about ten cents a
pound.
The most common use Of rape is as
a pasture crop for hogs or sheep.
Many animals do not like rape at first,
but will eat it readily after they have
acquired the taste. A liberal supply
of salt will tend to prevent the purglng
which rape often produces. With hogs
there is no danger from bloating. With
cattle, however, this danger does eX-
list to some extent and it is well, there
fore, to avoid pasturing them on pure
rape. If a supply Of hay or straw
is kept convenient, the animals will
instinctively turn to that when they
begin to bloat, and when cattle can
pass readily from rape to grass pas
ture, cases of bloating are rare. I'm
der any circumstances, however, cattle
should not be turned into rape pas
ture when it is wet with dew or rain,
or when they are very hungry.
Cattle eat rape readily but destroy
considerable by trampling, especially
where the rape is broadcasted In
broad rows the damage is less. for the
animals usually walk between the
rows. When cut and stall fed, rape
should be given to dairy COWS just
after milking; otherwise it may faint
the milk.
AS feed Tor all Klnds OF poultry
rape is also excellent.
Time of Seeding.
Rape Is a cool-season crop, and in
the South should, therefore, be planted
in the fall or in very early spring. The
crop is not injured by ordinary win.
tiers In the South, but of course the
growth is slow in cold weather In
the fall it is best seeded from August
Is to October Is. Later seeding is
scarcely advisable, except near the
Gulf coast and in Florida. In the
spring it should be seeded just as
early as danger of freezes is past. The
earlier seedlings nearly always give
the largest yields, as growth is

RIOTS HURT SWEET POTATOES
Greatest Losses In Oklahoma Due to
TWO Fung--Crop Rotation Should
Be Practiced.
/ (By c. D. Learn, Oklahoma Agricultural
College

By c. D. Learn, Oklahoma Agricultural
College)
There are several diseases which
are quite common to the sweet potato
in this state, but probably the great
est losses are due to the two fungi
causing the soft rot and the black rot.
The two forms cause a very different
rot, hence the names of the two dis
eases.
A fungus is plant which repro
duces by spores which are the same
as seeds; but the fungus gets its food
by sending slender filaments into an
other plant, termed the host. These
filaments are similar to g root of
the common plant, which gathers
food
The soft rot is probably less COM
mon and of minor Importance, for it
causes its trouble on bruised pota-
toes while in storage. 1t gains en-
trance through bruised area while
black rot does not necessarily need a
bruised surface.
The black rot has seemed to be
more common in the vicinity of the
agricultural college the past year than
for three years. This disease is of
great Importance as it is parasitic and
causes a rot which may not be no.
ticed in its early stages. 1t appears
as a dark colored sunken area and
gradually increases in size until this
area is very large and very much
sunken, and by making cross-section
of the potato through such an area one
may easily note the dark, diseased
tissue.
If the diseased potatoes are used for
taking slips from they will in all prob
ability be infected. The infection is
| noticed as small, black area There
may be several such infections on a
slip. If the slips are too badly infect.
ed the plant may die after being set
out; or 1t may not be vigorous in
growth At least there is a chance of
the potatoes being badly diseased
when harvested
The fungus causing black rot may
live over in the soil for an indefinite
time Such being the case, the best
method of controlling the fungus is to
select potatoes not diseased Plant the
potatoes, from which slips are taken
in soils where no disease has been pre-
viously, and, last, set your slips out
where there has been no diseased Pc

probably establish an Independent
highway department in lieu of the
work now done by the state geological
survey relating to highways.
New Jersey in 1891 was the pioneer
state in providing state aid for public
highways. Massachusetts and Con
necticut adopted the policy shortly aft
er. but only during the last ten years
has the state-aid policy been in ef-
feet on considerable scale. About
5000 miles of state highways were
completed in 1913 and about 5000
miles in 1914, so that the last two
years have been responsible for more
than one-third of the entire state
highway mileage. The state highways
In America now exceed by 5000 miles
the national road system of France.
To have state highway departments
placed under non-partisan, efficient
control; skilled supervision required
in all construction work; a proper
classification of highway to insure in
telligent distribution of improve
ments; an adequate provision for
maintenance of highways from the
day of their completion-these are
among the objects for which the
American Highway association is wag-
ing a vigorous campaign.
