Watch The Growing Plants.

Close observation of crops during
the growing season is often very
valuable. without information as to
how plants behave one always loses
much. Each year we should gather
information to be used the next and
every other year we farm. If we
neglect this we miss an opportunity
and will never have it again.
Close observation gives us a good
idea of the soils needs. II is not
a difficult matter to tell when the
soil needs lime; what field would be
improved by using a complete fertil'
izer or where nitrogen or phosphate
or potassium could be used to good
advantage. The growing season and
the appearance of the plants will
give us this information.
The farmer who observes can tell
what fields he should drain, terrace
or irrigate. He can determine the
best direction to run the rows, the
seasons best for planting, cultivating,
harvesting, etc. He soon learns the
crops that will likely be best for the
various fields and can then arrange
his rotations to include the best
crops as often as is consistent with
good farming.
In seed selection it is necessary
that the manager study his plants
carefully to determine those that
show vigor, earliness, yield, freedom
from diseases, etc. 1t is not enough
to go over the fields at harvest time
to select the best for seed; the plants
should be observed during the grow
ing season so selection may be done
intelligently. Some plants that make
a good showing during the early sea-
son may not be suitable seed. 1t will
take all the information you can get
to select the desirable for seed

swatting the Fly Grows More Wheat.

Swatting the Fly Grows More Wheat.
1t is not necessary to quit grow
ing wheat. The Hessian fly may be
killed, starved and prevented by
practicing the best farming methods
to secure an increased yield of
wheat.
July or very early August plow-
ing buries the Hessian fly and makes
from FIVE to fifteen bushels more
wheat per acre than September plow-
ing. 1t is often advisable to disk
the wheat stubble ground and then
pillow three or four weeks later. The
disking will mash, destroy and e2-
pose many of the flies in the f1axseed
stage. 1t will also conserve moisture
and make blowing much easier.
Cultivating the plowed ground
through the summer, especially after
rains, keeps down volunteer wheat
and kills and starves the fly. 1t al
so conserves moisture and makes a
better seed bed for wheat. The fly
feeds almost entirely upon wheat,
but it may be found upon rye and
barley.
Wheat sown on or soon after the
fiy-free date is practically free from
Hesian fly injury during the fall and
winter. Careful observations and
experiments have shown that the fly
free dates are generally as early as
the wheat should be sown to secure
a maximum yield regardless of the
fly. The college of agriculture will,
on request, furnish information on
the fiy-free date for each county of
the various states.
Every wheat grower should try to
put into practice the above meas
ures. A. united fight against the fly
cannot be emphasized too strongly,
because one farmer that fails to de-
stroy volunteer wheat or that sows
his wheat too early may breed enough
flies to damage his neighbor's wheat
crops badly the following spring.
Many of the best and most success
full wheat growers have found these
measures practical and effective in
the control of the fly. and they have
also greatly increased their yields
at the same time.

Should BE Used To IL.

Verdun has a famous history in
past wars. AS early as 400 A. ID. it
was Roman camp, named Virodun-
UNI. 1t was almost destroyed by
barbaric invasions and was not re-
fortified for a century. Clovis cap
tured il i'm 500 A ID. After various
vicissitudes it fell into German hands
in the eleventh century and became a
city of considerable size and impor-
lance. In the sixteenth century 1t
was taken by the French. Again, in
1892, it fell into German hands. .ut
was retaken by the French shortly
afterward. II 80 remained until
1870, when it was captured by he
Germans after brilliant siege. -

Moldy Silage Is Fatal.

The feeding of the moldy silage to
horses and cattle has caused a great
number of deaths in Illinois within
the last few months. This has led
Profs. H. p. Rusk and II. S. Grindley
of the University of Illinois Agricul-
tural Experiment Station to initiate
a series of experiments with view
of determining, if possible, what mold
or bacteria are causing the trouble.
That the task undertaken is not
an easy one is readily understood
when one reflects that men of abili-
ty have worked on the problem since
1916 without arriving at solution.
Whenever an outbreak of forage
poisoning has been reported to Profs
Rusk and Grindley, they have usu-
ally visited the farm where the out
break has occurred, and have exam
ined especially the feeds in an at
tempt to determine to what the trou-
BILE has been due. Furthermore they
have conducted experiments on mice,
pigs, rabbits and chickens by feed
ing them with samples of this poison
ed forage. Thus far these animals
have not given a positive test.
Several horses were bought for ex-
perimental purposes and fed with
moldy silage. Four days after feed
ing, symptoms of poisoning showed
themselves. On the 5th day, one
horse died and within a period of
three weeks three more horses died.
The remaining horse will undoubted-
ly die too.
1t is apparent from these expert
ments that farmers are not justified
in trying to economic by feeding
horses and cattle silage that has be-
come spoiled.-Globe-Democrat.

FARM DEPARTMENT
Wheat Smut Can he Controlled.


Every year smut injuries the quail
fly of the wheat. Smut can be con-
trolled and there is little excuse for
having smutty wheat, but as long as
n few farmers in a neighborhood do
not treat the seed, the infection will
be carried from farm to farm by the
threshing machines. Like contron-
ing the Hessian fly, it is commune
ty affair and all must work togeth-
err.

Leavenworth County, Kan, has been
trying to show, through the co-opera-
ton of the members of the farm bu-
reau. how successfully smut can be
controlled. He has just checked ov-

Synopsis of Farm Loan Act.

The act provides for the creation
of twelve federal land banks and
permits the establishment of any
number of joint stock land banks
for the purpose of making loans at
a reasonable rate of interest, for long
periods of time. on farm lands.
A Federal Farm Loan Board has
complete control over these banks.
Twelve federal land banks are pro-
yided, one in each of twelve districts
into which the country will be divid-
ed. These banks are empowered to
lend on first mortgages on farm
lands in amounts of 500 to $4,000
for approved purposes. The loans
are to be made through farm loan as
sociations and agents.
National farm loan associations
local organization-composed exclu-
siyely of borrowers-are authorized.
These associations must be stock
holders in the land banks in proper
tion to the amount their members
wish 10 borrow.
The act prohibits the federal land
banks from charging more than 6
per cent on any mortgage, or requir-
ing fees not approved by the Farm
Loan Board.
The borrowers will share in the
net profits of the bank, because they
arc stockholders. II is contemplat-
ed that ultimately the borrowers will
be the only stockholders.
:oint stock land banks are author
ized. They are corporations for car
ry,ng on the business of lending on
farm mortgage security and issuing
fam loan bonds. They are to be un-
der the supervision of the Farm Loan
Hoard, but the government will not
invest in them. Subject to geog-
raphical limitations, and subject to
the so per cent and 20 per cent lin
itation, these banks can lend to an
Individual any amount they wish,
and for any purpose.
