HAY SUPPLY OF IMPORTANCE
Farm Animals Consume Enormous
Amount During sWinter-Advantage
In Cutting Small Areas.

On most farms there are "grass
patches" or small meadows where by
careful work the manager may save
considerable hay. After the general
hay crop is taken care of usually
there will be demand for more.
Where one has considerable live stock
1t will be rather hard to store and
save too much hay, for animals con-
sumo an enormous amount during the
winter and it is an easy matter to un-
derestimate what they will require.
1t will pay generally to find the hay
patches where there is a small area
of fine grass and save it. 1t may be
little more expensive to save small
patches than in the bayfield, proper,
but if the hay is needed, as 1t gen.
orally will be, no complaint need be
made about the expense.
There is another advantage in cut
ting and curing the small areas Of
hay. The grass is utilized for feed
and not left to produce seed to cause
you trouble next year. If the grass
be johnson grass, crab grass or other
thrifty growth that is more or less n
pest there will be all the more reason
for cutting and curing 1t for hay.

CELERY OF HIGHEST QUALITY
Spraying to Prevent Blight and Rust
Is of Utmost lmportance-Much
Work Required.

One acre of celery properly cared for
represents lot of work, extending
from the time of planting the seed in
the greenhouses or hOtbed, transplant
ing the plants, setting them in the
open field, watering, cultivating, spray
ing, harvesting, punching and market
ing. But the returns from bumper
crop of, say 10000 head from the acre,
averaging so to so cents dozen heads,
pays well for the labor and care be-
slowed on this crop.
spraying to prevent blight and
rust is of the utmost Importance to in
sure good yield of best quality cell
ery." So says Samuel Beach, n Cana
dian truck grower. He uses bordeaux
mixture whenever there is the slight
est Indication of blight or rust. As
he cultivates the crop he watches for
indications of leaf injury, and finds his
one-horse power spraying outfit as nee
essary as his cultivator. The cost Of
spraying materials is considerably
higher since the war began, but Mr..
Beach finds that the spraying cannot
be omitted, even were the cost of spray
ing materials several times as high as
they are at present.

SPRING WHEAT YIELDS
Seventeen Different Stations

Results Obtained by State AgricuItu-

by Cooperation.

Every spring-wheat grower wants
20 know whether to grow common or
durum wheat on his farm. A study
Of the diagram shown will help to
answer the question.
The diagram shows wheat yields at
IT experiment stations in the great
plains area. These results We're OBJ

raj experiment stations, partly by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, and partly by the two in coop

For each station the figure shows
series of vertical columns, shaded
In different ways. The number of
columns in each case shows the num-
ber of different groups of wheat
grown in these years. Each column
stands for the best varieties of its
group and the height shows the yield
in bushels per acre. The groups are
hard red winter (white), durum
(black), Fife Qight slanting lines),
Preston (heavy slanting li:.es), and
