TREATISE
On the Culture of Rye is Issued
blythe Department of
Agriculture

WASHINGTON. Nov. S.-The ten
dency n the last few years toward the
spread of rye culture in the United
states has led the department OF agri-
culture 70 issue treatise on The sub
ject which has just been published
and is being distributed to farmers
asking Tor it.
The United States last year pro-
duced its record Of rye. harvesting
100000 bushels. Americas pro-
duction IS only three per cent OF the
worlds production. The department
experts point out that there are many
excellent reasons for growing rye on
the farm even though in most locali-
ties it is less profitable as grain
crop than wheat
Rye is harder and can therefore be
grown as a winter grain in cold. ex-
posed places. It Will do well on sandy
poor or acid land and may be sown
later than wheat. 1t is attacked By
fewer insects and diseases than wheat
produces a valuable straw, requires
less fertilizer. and being earlier is
better as a forage crop. In some
sections production value per acre
from rye actually exceeds that Of
wheat. This was true in the FIVE
year period from 1910 to 1914 in South
Carolina. Alabama. Texas, Minnesota
North Dakota and South Dakota.
