Get Your Corn Tested


Notice to farmers-If you want
your seed corn tested and tested right,
send it to the high school building as
soon as possible. Mr.. M. J. Doherty,
who teaches agriculture at the high
school, has had experience along this
line and wants to give his pupils a
chance to test some corn.
The farmer who takes this oppor-
tunity to have his seed corn tested,
will certainly profit by the results as
it means a great saving of both time
and money for him.
This will also be very helpful to
the students taking agriculture as It
is practical and something that can
not be learned by merely reading a
book on the subject.

p~redisposing cause, the direct exciting
cause is one or more of these pollens.
This can be easily demonstrated, as
an attack may be produced in sus-
ceptible patients at any time Of the
year, by simply applying a few par
ticles of the pollen to their nostrils.
Diet Suggested.
In the majority of cases, a low nj
trogenous diet (reduced in meats,
fish, cheese, milk, etc. is of benefit
in preventing or diminishing the at
tacks. unless contraindicated by the
low vitality of the patient. Remedies
are for the most part unreliable, and
should be used only under the direc-
tions Of the physician. Many of these
remedies contain some form of CO.
caine, and their continued use may
establish the habit or injure the
nervous system.

GARDEN PEAS FOR HOGS
(By Newton Hibbs.)

-
During the past four seasons have
Experimental with early dwarf gar
den peas for hog feed, with attending
results that seem rather remarkable.
A en-acre tract near a city was de-
voted to this experiment last year. The
soil was not very rich, as 1t had been
cultivated for twenty years to small
grain with no rotation. II was land
that was we'll suited to the growth or
clover and alfalfa. The pea will us
ually thrive wherever the soil is suit
cd to these hay crops.
The peas were sown broadcast on
the rough surface left by the pillow ana
covered by the use Of the drag har-
row. The seed was sown in a damp
seed bed during the first half OF May.
about 100 pounds TO the acre. The
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1915-08-26

The peas on this field had fully ma
tured by the first of August. The hogs
seventy head for the experiment
were purchased at seven cents a pound
and turned into the field on the twen-
ty-fifth of August, at a cost of $31S.50.
They we're sold at the end OF ninety
six days, after running on the peas
with no other feed, at sever cents a
pound, bringing a total of $1063.3 30.
This was a gain of owe two pounds
a day for every hundred pounds of the
original weight of the hogs purchased.
This gave a profit of s74.4S an acre,
and a net profit of S61.53. The hogs
were turned on the undivided field
and there was no waste. There re-
manned perhaps 200 pounds OF peas
to the acre when the finished hogs
were sold. These were harvested very
closely by small pigs. fifteen In num-
Der, which were pastured for two
months on the field.
These experiments have demonstrate
ed that any of the early dwarf sugar
or wrinkled varieties which grow
about two feet high are suitable for
this use. If the land Is very foul the
peas should be sown in drills and cul-
tivated like corn. II there is no ir-
rigation cultivation should be prac-
ticed to conserve the soil moisture.
The conditions that would be required
to make a good corn crop should make
a good pea crop doubly certain. Where
the rainfall is over twenty-five inches
this early crop should mature without
fail. The value of this crop can be
determined by observation OF the
growth Of these dwarf peas under the
ordinary conditions of garden culture
The quality of meat and the health
of the herd are better with pea feed
than with corn, and the cost OF pro-
duction of the peas is only about hall
hat of the corn. The pea Is equal to
clover in a crop rotation.-The Coun'
try Gentleman.

PEAS BEFORE ALFALFA
They ~InOculate the Soil, Making It
Richer, and Are Profitable Crop.

The Bellevue News has the follow

ground was foul with several kinds
of weeds, but the rapid growth Of the
peas retarded the growth Of weeds
till the early peas were well set. The
method of culture was the same as for
small grain on a large scale. 1t was
determined by careful measurements
that the yield Of peas on parts Of this
tract was as high as fifty-eigbt bushels
to the acre.
The earliness Of this crop, maturing
as 1t does in seventy days, makes it q
desirable crop for all sections where
there is danger of damaging droughts
in August. The crop can be planted
fully as early as a corn crop, and It is
not damaged by spring fTosts. The
crop will mature with less moisture
han corn demands to produce a stalk.
The common field pea consumes an
excess of soil moisture and the grain
is not developed till late In the sum-
mer.. The early dwarf garden peas Of
the wrinkled or sugar varieties are APP
parently much better adapted to our
conditions than the common field peas,
except possibly for the production Of
hay.
There Was No Waste.
The results OF these experiments for
four years demonstrate that In 1914
the peas gave less than the average
returns. The cost Of the crop was as
