Production and SAVING of Food
Important to Nations Life

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 3.-The
Secretary of Agriculture, D. F. Hous-
ton, today issued the following state
ment:
Both for economic and patriotic
reasons the American farmer should
strive this year for the highest stan
dard Of efficiency in the production and
conservation of food But production
accomplished by wasteful methods
does not make for efficiency, and care
full thought, therefore, should be given
to the steps that need to be taken.
At this, the approach of the growing
season, it is pertinent to consider steps
which should be taken during the
starting or the growing of crops to
prevent or eliminate wastes. In the
case of the great staple cereals, which
constitute a large percentage of our
food supply, conspicuous production
wastes result from failure to give
proper attention to the selection and
safeguarding of seed for planting, the
preparation of the land, and the care
of the crop. For instance, only variet-
les known to be well adapted to the
region where planted should be select
ed, so that in case Of such crop as
corn the grain will not fail to mature
properly in a normal season. The
planting of seed that will not germin-
ate often results in great loss of time,
labor, and money which could have
been avoided by testing the seed for
germinability before planting.
In some sections the damage to
crops by destructive diseases and in
sects is the most conspicuous crop
waste. Economically sound and effic-
lent production necessitates protection
of crops against these pests. Disin-
fecting dips for seed and sprays for
growing crops now have been develop
ed to point where they afford for
certain crops form of insurance that
farmers can not afford to neglect.
Secure Maximum Returns From Seed
Under existing conditions. every
precaution should be taken % to re-
duce production wastes by tsbting
seed sufficiently in advance to insure
against the planting of dead seed; ~
to treat with disinfecting dips all seed
subject to diseases that can be pre-
vented, such as the smuts of wheat,
barley, oats and rye, the losses from
which are estimated conservatively at
$50, 100000 to $6O,O0O,OOO in the United

States in the average year; (3) to pre-
pare thoroughly for planting these
vitality important cereal crops and to
care for them as may be necessary
during the esason.
IF seed is of high quality but short
in quantity, some reduction in the
quantity used per acre sometimes can
be made with profit if the sorl is es-
pecially we'll prepared and the seed
ing done carefully. Under favorable
conditions as good a stand of oats can
be obtained, the specialists of the De-
partment have found, by drilling IL
bushels per acre as by sowing 3 bush
els broadcast, with resultant increase
of yield per acre as well as increase OF
Weld per acre as we'll as increase Of
acreage planted.
Where spring wheat is planted,
and to some extent barley and the
grain sorghums, varieties should be
sown that do not shatter, especially in
the drier districts. No grain should be
allowed to become dead ripe before
cutting, because of the endency to
SKATER when in that condition. Most
farmers probably will find it possible
to locate and prevent important
wastes if at the beginning of the
season they will give the matter ser
ious thoght and undertake to correct
such wasteful practices.
Guard Agtinst Potato Diseases.
In the case of the northern staple
vegetables, such as potatoes, cabbage,
and onions. of which the supply is
short as the result of unfavorable
climatic conditions in 1916 in. the
commercially important production
districts, it is considered especially
important to reduce the risk of waste
due to the action of insects and dis
eases during the growing period. With
the potato, the Seeu SIoChS Vi WHICH
are low, every precaution necessary to
reduce the risk of disease damage, in
GLIDING the treatment of the seed po-
tatoes for scab before planting and
equipment for thorough spraying
while the crop is growing, should be
taken.
"a widespread outbreak of alte
blight throughout the important po-
tato producing district (Which FORUM
ately, rarely occurs except in restrict
cd areas) might diminish potato pro-
duction at the rate of 100000 bushels
day during August and September if

\ oARbEn aeor.

The writer has just returned
from trip TO the Rio Grande
valley of Texas and to say that
the valley is garden spot but
half expresses it. Crops grow
there twelve months in the year
and everything raised in Iowa can
be raised, besides hundreds OF
things that cannot he raised here.
Government experts call it a
semi-tropical country, with soil
and temperature better for the
growth of citrous fruits than
California or Florida. 1t is an
arid country covered with cactus
and the like until water is placed
on the land, when it blooms like a
rose and everything grows in
most phenomenal manner. Even
the chickens grow larger than
here as there is no cold weather
Ito stop them. Two and three
crops a year of everything are
raised there, such as corn, broom
corn, sugar cane, etc. At present,
owning to the abnormal prices,
broom corn is the big money max
er, most of the farmers realizing
$500 an acre from their broom
corn alone.
While a slower money maker,
we think the country will eventu-
Tally become one vase grapefruit
orchard, as the soil and weather
are peculiarly adapted to the
growth of this fruit. They can
market their fruit from 80 to As
days earlier than any other region
in the United States and they
claim their fruit is sweeter and
contains more nutriment than
any other. A ten-acre orchard
there set to grape fruit ought to
give a person an independent in
come when the trees begin to bear
at their fourth year. The beauties
of This country cannot be shown
in cold type and person must
see it to appreciate it.
To a native lowan, who is used
to cold bleak winters with lots of
snow and ice, country covered
with palms, banana trees, grape
fruit, lemon and orange trees
looks mighty inviting. If a Mis-
souri, Valley colony could be start
Cd there with a certain acreage
set to grape fruit it would be ideal
as the fruit begins to ripen in No
Nember, just when person here
would desire TO get away for the
winter.
We honestly believe that no
other section of the United States
has so perfect combination of
soil, climate and irrigation facil-
tiles, grows SO large a variety of
crops each month of the year or
produces such immense crop
yields.
