to be at the Inconvenience of dipping

them every twenty-one days, or ten
or eleven times season, for two or
three or more years, with the extra
expense attached, before the work is
completed.
However, in order to finish the
work in one season, it will require
cooperative effort, not only on the
part of the federal government and

GRAIN CROPS that
DESERVE ATTENTION
LOUISIANA DOES NOT PLANT
ENOUGH GRAIN CROPS IN
THE FALL.
WHEAT AND RYE IMPORTANT
Some Recommended Varieties That
Meet the Climatic Conditions
of the State.

"The acreage of wheat. barley and
rye in Louisiana has not been suffi-
GENTLY large so far as TO be consider
ed worthy of note by either the state
or federal agricultural authorities.
The difficulty has been to get varie-
ties that would stand the climatic
conditions, but we now have the Abb
bruzzes rye and a blue stem wheat
that seem TO have the power of de-
veloping under Louisiana conditions.
There is no special variety of barley
that can be recommended. There
has been an increase in the acreage
devoted to these three crops in tho
last few years and the coming years
will no doubt see a still greater ad-
vancement.
One of the most vital factors in
growing these crops is the variety Sc
lected. It. must be strictly Southern
In its adaptations and should have
Der of years. The Abruzzes Is the
best known variety of rye for Louis
lana, and Alabama blue stem wheat
appears to be good Several impor-
tatfons of California wheat have prov
ed to be all right in few localities.
1t is a good plan to buy seed direct
from the producer as then one is
surer of getting the variety desired
Wheat, rye and barley should weigh
60 pounds to the bushel. 1t is also
good plan to buy all seed on germi-
nation and purity tests. The Seed
Laboratory of the Experiment Sta
ton of the Louisiana State University
will make tests free of charge. The
seed should be thoroughly cleaned
with tanning mill before they are
sown so as to remove all the light
ones and to break a number or the
awns so the seed will pass more read
lily through the drill.
Fall seeding is more profitable than
spring, hence one should try to get
the seed planted during the first two
weeks Of October in the northern half
of the state, while a month later in
the southern part will usually be soon
enough. Seed beds should be firm,
but loose on the surface, which allows
the seeds to be easier and more even
ly covered, especially if sown broad
cast. However, it is better to use
the drill in seeding, as with it a
slightly smaller amount of seed is
needed, and the stand will generally
be more even. Plant busheI and
half OF wheat, barley or rye to the
acre. On sandy and the heavier poor
er lands several hundred pounds of
acid phosphate may be added to the
acre previous to planting. Or, if one
is rushed, the fertilizer may be ap-
piled at the same time the grain is
sown.
The rye will make an excellent win
ter pasture. Wheat will make a
fairly good pasture, but seed is too
expensive to use it for this purpose

ronomy, Louisiana State University.
