MAKING THE MOST OF
OUR WHEAT SUPPLY.

Various methods of conserving the
wheat supply of the United States
have been suggested, many of which
would no doubt work, if.
The word eff that stands in the
road is the failure of the individual
to realize that this problem of bread
is his own personal problem, and
until he does realize this fact 1t is
going to be hard to bring about
those measures of economy that
would assure bread for all concern
ed. In centers of over-supply there
is at all times both waste and TOO
free use of bread, while in places OF
under-supply there is danger OF un-
der-nourishment and malnutrltlon
owing to the shortage.
Curtailment of our bread ration
would not be necessary if the wastes
could be prevented. Suggestions
that we mill larger percentage OF
the wheat carry with them dangers
of loss that may out-balance the
good. The keeping quality OF the
flour would be lowered and the ab-
sorption of the by-products now us
ed largely by dairymen would cause
an ultimate increase in the price OF
dairy products-milk and butter
However, the larger use of cotton
seed meal and the legumes-clover
and alfalfa would largely rectify
this situation.
So it is not clear that much car
be gained in this direction. Better
results would accrue if the public
generally were to use more largely

COMMUNITY COOPERATION

Any American farmer who is wor-
thy of the name likes to be associat-
ed with good, clean, up-to-date, en-
terprising business town as his post
office and trading center. It's an
asset to the farming community to
have good churches, good schools,
good commercial club, and good
business houses within easy reach.
The growth and prosperity and SER
vice which such a town can render
to its country neighbors depends
much more largely upon the farmers
themselves than they ae apt to think.
The more you trade with the town
merchant the better stock he can
keep. The more you help out the
creamery or the cheese factory or
the grain warehouse company or the
grange or the farmers union, or any
other organization that is helping
out the town and country alike, the
better town you will have.
Your town is sure to have some
sort of a moving picture show. 1t
is far better that you should have
good, reputable movie than low
class picture show. Farm fathers
and mothers can exert great in
fluence in the matter of clean "a
musements in the town.
If the town has public library,
it can double its value and effici-
ency by the cooperation of the sur
rounding farming families.
If the business men of the town
help out in the matter of good roads,
why should not the farmers cooper
ale in town betterment?
The fact is that the rural town is
farming town and depends not
ouly upon the production of the
farms within its territory for its
own success, but this rural town is
of itself an index to the farmers
who live within its territory.
Community cooperation, commun-
ity development, means that the
farm women join with the town wo-
men as members of the commercial
club, as they do in Garfield, Whit
man county, Wash. it means a COM
munity cooperation in caring for
and beautifying the local cemetery,
as at Oakesdale, in the same county
| ii means that the town people unite
with the farm people in the COM
munity clubhouse, as at Orovllle, In
Okanogan county, WASH; it means
that the farmers and the townspeop-
lie unite in making an institution of
| the annual picnic, as on the irriga-
ton project a few miles out of Cald-
we'll, Idaho; it means that the towns
people and the farm people unite in
that marvellous institution, the child
ren's fair, as at McMinnville, Ore.
Wherever you find the farmers
cooperating with the townspeople
YOU have good town, and when
YOU have good town you are pret.
ty sure to find good people living
on the farms around that town. YOU
can not build up a successful social
life without community effort
Good stores, good churches, goot
schools, good roads, good farm or
CARNATIONS must have the coopera
ton of the farmers as well as oi
the townspeople themselves.

TO last years crop. Unfortunately,
many growers and dealers failed to
distinguish between blighted and
frosted beans. Hence much Of the
seed supposedly clean except for a
few frosted beans, contained a rela-
lively high per cent Of blighted seeds.
The result of planting this seed first
became evident during the latter part
of July and early part of August. The
bean blight seemed to appear all over
a field at the same time. Yellow leaves
with the Characteristic brOwnish cen
tiers showed the source of the trouble.
These centers contain the bacteria that
cause the blight. From such diseased
leaves the bacteria are carried by rain.
dew, the wind and insects to all parts
of the field. and when the pods are
formed these blight bacteria allght on
them and produce the minute water
soaked spots which later enlarge into
the dark red blotches or cankers. The
bacteria penetrate the pods and cause
the yellowing of the seeds within.
Badly bIighted plants lose their
leaves and frequently the pods shrivel
and die. New leaves appear, but this
retaliation of the plant decreases the
number Of new pods formed and stunts
those not yet mature. This is not the
only loss caused by the blight as the
yellowed bean seeds are picked out at
the elevators and deducted from the
beans sold.
Another disease also has been found
in our bean fields. The trouble is
known as mosaic on account Of the pc
cullar nothing OF the leaves. Leaves
so afflicted are readily recognized by
the dark green crinkled areas When

a young plant is attacked by this dis
ease, it rarely produces pods. The
leaves are crinkled and very much
smaller than normal and the whole
plant Is stunted. The mosaic disease
of beans is very similar to that Of
cucumbers of the same name.
Bean mosaic was first noticed last
year in a few fields. Until within the
last few weeks, however, il has been
comparatively rare. Now II is fairly
widespread. Fields showing as many
as 80 per cent of the plants so af-
flicted are not uncommon. 1t is be-
lieved that the mosaic disease lives
over from one year to the next in the
bean seed. 1t is thought to be caused
by a species of bacteria too small to
be seen even with a miscroscope.
There is not the slightest doubt that
the blight and the mosaic disease are
becoming more serious. To safeguard
our crop, therefore, we should strike
at the root of the trouble-the bean
seed. Seed selection from clean pods
taken from healthy. vigorous, we'll
podded plants will do much to cut
down losses. If Michigan is TO produce
the beans expected of her, il behooves
growers to look well to the securing Of
clean seed for next years planting.
Farmers cannot do any better work
than to select their seed from the
plants in the field.

Blight and Mosaic Take Heavy

BAD SEED ROOT OF EVIL
Selection of Seed Beans In Field
Necessary This Fall to Protect
Next Years Crop.
BY J. II. MUNciE,
Bean Specialist, Michigan Agricultural
College.


East Lansing, Mich.-Press reports
which within the past few weeks have
been widely circulated through the
state have given somewhat highly
colored picture of the bean situation
In Michigan this season. 1t is true that
in some districts there is promise of
fine crops, but in most section much
damage from blight is reported by
farmers themselves and by county
agents. Personal field trips have con-
vinced me that in the main these latter
reports are the most reliable. The
yield Is likely TO be less than what
was first expected, Notwithstanding
the increase in acreage.
Several factors are responsible for
this decrease. A late spring, cold and
wet, hindered the fitting of the ground,
while q bad early summer prevented
the planting of the crop and cPused
much of the seed to rot in the ground.
Many of the beans used for seed
this year were immature, frosted and
blighted. Under normal conditions
such seed would have produced plants,
but this year the frosted, immature
beans failed to grow. The bean mag
got also did considerable damage in
many parts of the state. Further,
many beans were planted late and I'M
less the frOsts hold off until later than
usual, no crop can be expected from
them.
Outside of the damage by frost, how
ever, the gravest danger TO the bean
crop lies in its diseases. Bean blight,
known to every grower in the state, is

Pest.

East Lansing, Mich.-FalT blowing
recommended by the Michigan Agricul-
tural college as n measure which will
help to control the bean maggot.
TThe bean maggot," says press bull
letin issued by the college, caused
great injury to the Michigan crop last
spring. particularly where beans were
planted on spring-plowed clover sod.
Injury ON fall-plowed clover or alfalfa
land was rare, however, and In most
cases could be traced TO the presence
of thistles.
'"The bean maggot comes through the
winter and begins work early in the
spring on the roots of thistles and Glow
err, and In organic matter. II land Is
fallIplowed, the bean maggot Is very
largely killed out. Fall-plowed land
can be put in shape for beans much
more easily in the spring than is pos
sfble when It is newly plowed, and the
land has time in which TO settle. Thor
ough dragging at intervals in the
spring will work the field into good
shape to seed beans.

greatly benefited by blowing in the
fan. Only light lands which are likely

The best time to cut corn for the

tured and the ear well-developed. At
this stage the lower leaves are turning
brown and the kernels are glazed and

largest amount of food material in the
most readily digested form. If al
