In this connection it is pointed out
also that feeding straw in the winter
will insure under circumstances the full
utilization of summer grass. In num-
Der of Western States it frequently
happens that grass goes to waste be
cause feeders are unwilling to pay the
high prices asked for steers in the
spring. With an abundance Of straw
on hand to lessen the cost of wintering
feeders can take advantage Of the low
er prices for stocker cattle in the fall
to secure on reasonable terms at that
time enough stock to pasture all the
grass the following year.
The production Of corn slower is
about twice that of grain straw,
amounting to approximately 45,000,-
900 tons year. A large percentage
(S15) Of this is fed than Of the straw,
but the waste is nevertheless aston
ishing. For this, poor methods Of
feeding are largely responsible. By
far the most economical method of
handling corn is by ensiling, but as a
matter of fact only 81 per cent Of the
acreage was put in the silo in 1914, the
year in which these investigations were
made. About IL per cent was cut for
green feed and 81 per cent allowed to
mature for grain. It is in the last por-
ton Of the acreage that the greatest
waste occurs. Stripping the leaves
from the stalks which are subsequently
burned, removing the stalk above the
top ear only, leaving the stalks to stand
in the field until the loss of leaves and
teaching have removed much of their
fertiEzing value, are all unthrifty me-
thods. Furthermore, almost 4 per cent
of the slower is burned, instead Of be-
ing a potential source of revenue, it
was merely a nuisance to be gotten rid
of as a preliminary to blowing. In some
States the percentage Of slower that il
thus thrown away is as high as or s
per cent and the total loss to the coun-
try from the practice is estimated at
nearly $15,O0O,OO0 a year.
To obtain satisfactory results from
the feeding of farm roughages, such as
straw and slower, they must be com
bined with some form of concentra5 i
feed. At the present time large quan-

peanuts, and beans are exported for the
use Of European feeders. If the straw
and slower that are now wasted were
employed to feed more cattle, the con-
The result would be tremendous saw
ing not only in the cost of producing
beef but in the cost of enriching the
soil as well. In 1914, for example,
about 100000 tons of cottonseed meal

piled directly to the soil as fertilizer.

quarters Of the fertilizing value
would have been returned to the soil
as manure. The loss of the other 4th,
would have been far more than coun-
terbalanced by the profit on the meat
produced economically by the meal and
the necessary roughages. Much the
same thing is true to the other oil
meals.
The value of these meals is far b t
ter appreciated in Europe than here.
Denmark for example, feeds annually
47S pounds of oil cake to each of he-
mature cattle, the United States APP
proximately "a pounds. Furthermore,
the European feeder is aware of the
fact that the high protein meal, while
more expensive to buy, is more econom-
zeal TO use. Meal Of this quality is sell
dom sold on the domestic markets be-
cause the American farmer has not yet
learned its value. Cottonseed and lin
seed are perhaps the best known Of the
oil meals, but there are others the use
of which as feed could be proftably e1-
tended. Both peanut and soy bean
meal and cake, for instance, are in
good demand in Europe.
The efficient use of these and other
feeds discussed in the report is of the
utmost Importance to the American
farmer, it is pointed out, because the
day when close calculation in feeding
was not necessary is, in all probability
past. Hereafter it is likely that sue
cess will depend upon ability to put to
the best use all available products. A
greater knowledge of what these pro-
ducts are and of the ways in which
they can be fed will result in the elm
ination of enormous waste.

Burning is practically an absolute
waste, and although blowing under does

of the straw to produce manure. "Of

Has any one thought of the mag
nitude of the junk business in
Europe after the war? There have
been squibs and comic drawings
about it, but how much serious
consideration has it received?
Last year, in these United States
of America, one hundred and forty
million dollars was paid for scrap
iron. This is a big and wasteful
country, but it cannot be using up
metal at more than a fraction of
the rate prevailing in the war zone.
Thousands of tons of iron, not to
mention copper, brass and lead,
have been shot away at each of
many narrow strips of the battle
line. The topsoil in the salient of

at Verdun must be so saturated

For that matter it may be that

Keeping Boy On farm

Boys and young men will not be.
held by the farm unless it is appar-
ent that their efforts will be duly
rewarded. Our farm boys are not
afraid of hard work, but to hold
their interest their work must be
productive want to see re-
suits and reap some personal bene--
fits from them.
Farm labor is getting more scarce
every year and each year the need
increases for labor of higher type.
Farmers not only find it hard to find
outside labor, but find it hard to
hold the labor grown and developed
on the farm, and this always the
most satisfactory labor that can be:
employed.
The boys need more encourage
ment than simply their board and
clothes. A Missouri farmer who is.
cooperating with the agricultural
college of that state in the keeping
of farm records has decided that he
can afford to pay his son Is per cent
of the net profits from the farm for
his work. The son has worked un-
der this plan for four years and each
year has cleared as much as or more
than ordinary hired hands wages,
In addition he has had the use Of a
horse and buggy and has been able
to live at home. This is worth a
great deal, as many boys find when
they take some city job and have to
room in lodging house and put up
with table board greatly inferior to
that they were accustomed to on the
farm.
Under a plan of this kind the
young man is spurred on to make
the farm business as profitable as
possible. 1t stimulates good man.
agement on the part of both pro-
prietor and laborer.
We know of many instances where
the boys are being held by giving
: them a real interest in the business.

JOHNSON GRASS A WEED.
Pest Should Be Destroyed During the.

Kansas farmers who planted oats
containing Johnson grass, an unde-
sirable weed, should destroy the pest
this summer or in the fall. according

Agricultural college.
Definite records show that $4,000
grass seed were planted in the state
last spring." says Mr.. Thompson.
johnson grass is weed pest be-
cause of the large underground root
stalks which cause the plant to spread
rapidly and enable it to live over from
year to year. Yet 1t is hard to get
and maintain a stand sufficiently good

wheat crop serves this purpose quite
well. When the Johnson grass is III
