AN EXPENSIVE CUSTOM
(By A. V. Place.

AS you drive over the country do you
ever notice the great number of straw
stacks scattered about over the differ
ent farms waiting to rot down? in
the parts where the small grains are
grown these straw stacks are such fa.
miliar sights that many seem to think
they really belong out there in the
fields. Do you ever wonder what will
be done with them? E
When you stop to investigate the rea-
son for neglect in caring for this useful
by-product of the cereal crops you will
come upon some interesting informa-
tion. This practice is one that has not
passed with some of the other wasteful
ones of the older agriculture of this
country. One of those that is fast 60
ing is the wasteful way in which farm
manures were handled on most farms a
score of years ago. The farmer in
most parts of the country is fast get
ting away from the practice of allow.
ing barnyard manure to lie exposed to
the weather from one to twelve months
in the year. His attention has been
called repeatedly to the great waste
that is going on every day that the
manure is allowed to lie in the open,
exposed to the elements. He has ceased
to believe that it is the best practice to
allow the manure pile to be soaked
with the rains of many months and to
burn and dry and white on the inside
before 1t is hauled to the field. in
other words he no longer thinks that
he should "allow the manure to rot
before it is applied to the land. Many
Of our best farmers follow the practice
Of storing the manure if it cannot be
applied at once to the fields. Even
though the majority of cornbelt farm.
ers are very careful in handling the
barnyard manure it is estimated that
the careless ones waste millions Of dol.
lars annually by improper methods Of
handling this valuable product

WHEAT VALUES

While there is yet to come from the
exposition authorities at Wichita sat
isfactory explanation Of. circumstances
whereby Colorado was barred from en-
ter1ng wheat competition at what pur-
ported to be an International Wheat
Snow" some mighty interesting tests
and analysis certificates as to the
bread-making products of our own state
are reaching Denver. There are now at
hand sufficient official adm ssions from
wichita to demonstrate that Colorado
can deliver the goods when it comes 20
real wheat, whether prizes are affixed
Or not.
The Civic and Commercial association
and Immigration bureau officials in
charge Of the Colorado exhibit st the
The Glenwood post., 1917-10-27

exposition, when they saw that protest
Colorado from the wheat contests, took
the course of having friendly ego
and letting our wheat samples tell their
own stories.
"Would you mind making an in
formal test of the wheat we have
here?' asked Secretary Thomas of the
Agricultural bureau of the judging
committee at the exposition just as it
was completing its work on the Kan
sas, Nebraska and Oklahoma samples.
"Certainly not" politely replied one
of the officials.
Stepping over to the Colorado boo5h
he took note of the Longmont samples
and a newly arrived bushel Of weaht
from the Grand valley. To his surprise,
the latter weighed up 65 pounds to the
bushel, with the Longmont sample
running close behind in weight. Sixty
two pounds is usually considered fair
wheat.
."Some wheat!' calculated the off
cial. "That's about the best high
grade sample I've seen in many years."
"The trouble with Colorado wheat
the official explained, "is that it is
usually short in gluten"
"What percentage of gluten is usu-
ally required?' inquired Mr.. Thoams.
"About 1914 per cent? replied the
Wichita man.
Within an hour Mr.. Thomas was on
his way with wheat samples to the an
alysis department of one of the big
milling and elevator companies. Be-
fore he left for Denver the next day
he had in his possession an interesting
yellow certificate which disclosed the
fact that one sample of Turkey Red
wheat from the Longmont region ran
1873 per cent gluten and that another
Longmont sample and the Grand valley
sample, respectively ran 1874 per cent
and 12.1 per cent in that important in
gredient.
Complete milling and baking reports
were ordered and are due in Denver in
a day or two. Their receipt will round
out the story of wheat in these parts.
Thus far it would seem that, blue rib
bon or no blue ribbon at Wichita, we
have the material for which the millcrs
are looking. Also there is at hand the
opportunity to lay claim to better
grading treatment in the state as to
wheat than the buyers have accorded

AN ACT OF KINDNESS
A Glenwood Springs Resident Speaks
Publicly For the Benefit Of
Glenwood Springs People

If you had suffered tortures from

His is a simple act of kindness to

ments that are the most liable to be
needed in this soil right here for this
corn crop you are cultivating. If you
had hauled that straw stack on the field
last fall and worked it into the soil
your chances for a good corn crop
would have been very much increased.
BY the time you have allowed your
straw stacks to rot down more than half
the nitrogen and phosphoric acid will
be gone and practically no potash will
remain because this element is easily
washed out of straw.
"About how much is a ton of wheat
straw worth for fertilizer?'' asked my
interested friend. I had about forgot
ten the quotations on the different
plant food elements and knew that war
conditions made it impossible to give
a value to the potash, but We figured
it out mentally that the fertilizing ele
ments alone were worth about thrco
dollars in each ton of that straw stack.
After thinking little my friend spok, 4,
up and said, 81 suppose that 1 have
over a hundred tons of straw in these
three stacks and if what you say is
true I guess l better plan to get this
three hundred dollars scattered around
where it will do me some good. l din
glad you stopped'
Yes, it is a relic of an old custom
and it must pass along with other
wasteful practices in our agriculture.
AS with some of the others it will stay
until forced to go.
