FATTEN CHICKENS IN cRATEs

Farmers who dress and retail their
poultry or who ship to a nearby mark
ct which can be reached within 3 few
hours, should crate-feed every chicken
they sell, ," says M. G. Fitzpatrick Of he
College Of Agriculture. II this is
done, their output Of poultry meat will
be increased from rs to 40 percent. \
Not all Of the chickens produced In
Ohio can be fattened on the farms on
which they are grown. The fattening
OF chickens makes the flesh tender, 50
that it bruises easily. The bones are
brittle also. Fowls which have been
crate-fed will not stand long ship
ment alive, but should be killed or
dressed. II marketed alive they should
be shipped only for a short distance.

to 20 per cent. In every case the
value Of the wheat saved by treatment
would amount to several times the
cost of treatment.
Statistics show that the average
annual loss of rye from smut is
about per cent cOnside derably less
than the loss Of wheat. II Is well
worth while, however, to treat rye
seed also.
Method Of Treating Seed
Several methods Of treating seed
for the destruction Of smut spores are
in use, but the best, it Is believed, is
the formaldehyde treatment. The
grain should first be cleaned thor
oughly with a flaming mill so that
smut balls, shriveled grain, chat, etc.
will be removed. After the grain is
clean it may be spread on q tioOr or a
tarpaulin in a layer or pile several
inches thick and sprinkled with a
solution of formaldehyde made by mix
ing / pound of commercial fOrinalde-
hyde with As gallons of water. An
ordinary SprlnKnng can OF spraying
machine is used and the grain is
shoveled over and over until every ker
mel is wet. The grain is then placed
in pile and covered with sacks,
blankets, or a tarpaulin for two
hours or over night It is then dried
sufficiently to be run through the
drill, after which it may be sown. If
the grain is not passed through . fan
ming mill it should be placed iii a vat
or tank Of the formaldehyde solution
instead of being sprinkled. The smut
balls will rise to the surface and may
be skinned off.
If the grain is not to be planted I'M
mediately, it must be dried sufficiently
to prevent spelling when placed in
bins. If planted while damp and
swollen, more grain by measure must
be used to allow for the expansion.
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1917-08-31

Now that, because Of world short
age. every bushel Of wheat and rye
counts for more than ever before, the
safeguarding of the next crops OF
these grains against disease by the
treatment of seed before planting is
Of greatest Importance, saye United
States Department of Agriculture. De-
partment specialists estimate that the
average annual loss due to the smuts
of wheat and rye amounts approx
mately to 27,5OO,OOO bushels. This is
equal to about 31a per cent OF the en-
tire yearly wheat crop and is regarded
as a conservative estimate, since only
smutted heads actually lost are con:
sidered. The increased number Oh
heads which healthy plants would
have thrown out were not taken into
account. The loss to the billion-bushel
wheat crop the Department hopes TO
see harvested next year would, at
az per cent, amount to 35,OOO,OOO
bushels. With wheat selling at $2 a
bushel this would amount to an ex-
ceedingly high tax on the farmers OF
the country.
Treatment of Seed
Treatment Of whea. against stink
ing smut is fairly easy, not expensive,
and fully 95 per cent effective. The
efficiency of the treatment is, in fact,
practically 100 per cent in most OF
the wheat regions. The percentage OF
efficiency for the country as a whole,
however, is reduced by the fact that in
large regions in the Pacific Northwest
the soil is polluted with smut germs
10 such an extent that the effects Of
seed treatment are negatived. Seed
treatment costs not to exceed 5 cents
an acre for materials and labor. To
this cost, however, must be added the
cost of grain, the terminating power
of which may be destroyed by the
treatment. This amounts at the most
