POLISH WHEAT

Washington, D. c., April 6.-The u.
s. Department Of Agriculture recent
~ has been Informed that Polish wheat
is being offered for sale in Montana
at the exorbitant price Of $1.00 per
pound. Polish wheat is variety more
closely related to the durum wheats
than to the common wheats. The head
is 3 to inches long and one.half to
three-quarters of an inch wide, usually
flexible instead of stiff. The chaff is
very long, and thin and papery. The
kernels are larger than those of durum
wheat and about twice as long as those
of ordinary varieties of common
wheat. Like those of durum wheat,
the kernels are flinty and of an amber
color.
| A few years ago this wheat was ex-
plotted in Idaho under the misleading
name "Corn Wheat.' It has also
been exploited at different times as
Jerusalem rye,'' "Giant rye,'' etc.
This wheat is grown to a Slight ex-
tent in southeastern Europe, but never
has been grown commercially in the
United States. It is carried in stock
and sold as a novelty by most seeds
men. 1t has been tested by many ex-
pertinent stations and uas never been
found to yield as well as good varie.
ties OF common and durum wheat.
From our present knowledge it is not
recommended for growing anywhere
in the United States. -
Those offering the seed claim that
it does very well on dry land and also
under irrigation if not watered too
much. They state that Polish farmers
In Montana claim that this wheat
yields from IS to $50 bushels per acre
and makes the very best Of flour and
hog feed.
These statements are directly con-
trary to the experience of the Depart.
ment Of Agriculture and several State
experiment stations. They are also
contrary to the experience of many
farmers who have written to the De.
partment at one time or another.
7 The accumulated evidence regarding
this wheat does not Indicate that s.
has any value that will in any wav
justify the charge of $l.OO pound
for the seed, and farmers are advised
not to be mis-led by the glowing state.

HOW TO CONTROL THE CABBAGE
PEST

How to control cabbage and onion
maggots is shown in letter recently
issued by the Agricultural Extension
division, University Farm, St. Paul.
In experiments at University Farm
last year and the year before this mix
ture was used for cabbages:
Lead arsenate 81 ounce
New Orleans molasses ..... Il pint
This mixture was sprayed over the
plants every week, OF twice week in
rainy weather, from the time they
were set out until May 20. For Sec
ond breed of the pests the spray was
applied from July l to 20.
A spray that has been used to de-
stroy the onion maggot at University
Farm is made of:
Sodium arsenite ......... Is ounce
New Orleans molasses $3.50. Y pint
Such solution, however, tends to
burn the leaves Of cabbages. The bar
red-wing onion maggot is controlled by
destroying all old, infested onions in
the spring.
The first indication Of the cabbage
or onion maggots is the willing Of the
plant after the pest has attacked the
underground parts.

FARM GARDENS MoNEY4MAKERs

~NSSAO~~ASVS
A good garden on the farm means an
income of at least $50. There are
more than 100000 farms in Minnesota.
The total income from 100000 farm
gardens should, therefore, be more
than $7,5O0,000.
The Illinois Experiment Station by
five years. experiments with half
acre garden showed that the actual in
come in excess Of expenses was about
800. The estimate for Minnesota is
only half the actual returns in Illinois.
A good garden should supply the
family table during the growing sea-
son, fill the storeroom for the winter,
and give ample material for canning
by the cold-pack methods. -.
The soil should be rich and free of
weeds. If the soil is poor, it may be
enriched with rotted yard-manure.
Good seeds should be obtained and
planted in rows not too far apart. The
soil would be cultivated to hold weeds
in check. A succession of the various
vegetables is desirable-sweetcorn, let.
tuce, radishes and carrots.
For 1916 reduce the cost Of living
by getting more out of the garden
right out Of the soil.

Medical supervision for infants
school children, tuberculous individu.
ais and others is as feasible in the
country as it is in the city. More
over, it has been demonstrated, &C.
cording to DR.. I. J Murphy Of the
Minnesota Public Health association.
that such work is practicable.
Since the first Of the year the Min.
nesota Public Health association has
had two demonstration nurses work.
ing in various counties of the state.
Enough work has been done to prove
that in communities of between 5000
and 5000 one nurse could be kept busy
the entire year. Until the schools
close the time of the nurse would be.
Tor the most part, taken up with the
school children. After the school
term, she would devote her attention
to mothers, babies and communicable
diseases, including tuberculosis.
1t was found by the Public Health
association nurses that about rs per
cent Of the school children examined
had defective vision, about 20 per cent
had defective hearing, and IS per cent
needed dental attention. There were
many others with minor defects. The
nurses have visited the following
counties: Mobiles, Jackson, Waseca,
Wabasha, Chippewa, Yellow Medicine,
Renville, Kandiyohi and Lyon, and
will be sent to any county on applica-
ton, but only to rural districts where
there are consolidated schools.
