ROOT CROP MARKET CONTINUES
100n

A combination of wet weather, i'll
terfering with the digging and market
ing of potatoes, and decided increase
in the demand, had the effect of bring
ing paying prices to producers above a
dollar a bushel last week. The demand
shown was from sections outside Of
the state, and from wide range Of
territory. The extremely. hot weather
covered a large part Of the country
and burned up the early stock in some
sections that had counted on a suff-
cient home supply. The government ~
in the market for 100000 pounds for
the army also and Minnesota dealers
have been asked to bid on this amount
to be delivered at different points as
wanted.
The hot weather burned up the crop
of many vegetables in the northwest
also, and green and wax beans and GU
cumbers are already being brought in
from other growing sections. The
shortage of many garden crops will
cause a heavier demand for all root
vetegables, and there is good sale in
the cities Ior beets, carrots and ruta-
bagas at from IS to SIS cents bushel
to the grower, and at somewhat higher
figures to the retailer and consumer.
The, prospects are that the Mime
sofa crop will be marketed at good
prices, and producers should see that
the root vegetables Of the northwest
are gathered and stored at the rlgst
season, taken care of until they are
salable at remunerative figures, and
there will be no losses on the 1917
crop.-By Extension Division, Univer-
sity of Minnesota.

HINTS FOR FARMERS IN DROUTH
REGIONS

Through much of the north country,
where the rainfall is normally heavy,
on clay soils, the custom has been 10
follow system of ridged cultivation

from this practice. In many counties
the precipitation has been deficient
since July l, and we must readjust our
practices to the conditions. Moreover
we must cultivate longer and more fire.
quently than usual in order to conserve
moisture.
The value Of reserve pasture, even
II this must be secured by pasturing
along the roadside, is manifest this
year. With rainfall rather deficient,
1t IS very easy to take the life out of
pasture by overcropping, while two
weeks rest may insure good feeding
tor some months to come. BY the same
token, it is bad policy to pasture the
meadows Immediately after the hav is
removed. If the land is to be brok
en- this fall, it makes little difference:
but If it is desired to raise hav anoth.
er year, a two weeks' rest is needed
before pasturing.
The hay crop is late and rather short
and thin but the late rains are going
to make oat straw a good length. We
would suggest that all such Straw be
housed for winter feeding. It makes
fair feed together with roots and win
simplify the winter forage problem

STRAW PREC1oUs-Do NOT BURN

Burn no straw this fall.
Every ounce Of straw is always of
value, and this year it will be of great
er value than usual.

the roughage crop is short.
Straw may be used in the feed ra-
ton for horses, sheep, and rougher cat.

grain. This cheapens the ration and
saves good hay and grain for other
uses.
Liberal bedding with straw. if IL il
plentiful, also increases the amount of
manure to be applied to the soil. Less
OF the fertility elements in liquid ma
nure are lost and bedding with more
costly material is made unnecessary.
The stock are made more comfortable
ana hence more productive. The fer
unity value at normal prices of the fer
t1llzer elements, amounts to. about AZ
ton Tor wheat straw and 81 a ton for
oat straw. At present abnormal prices
this is increased several times. At
least IS per cent Of this should be saw
ed by proper conservation.
Threshing straw in the barn or BAL
ing 1t before unsettled weather comes
are excellent ways of preserving. 9th.
