ASKS 100000 TO BUY SEED.

The secretary of agriculture has
asked congress for an appropriation
of $6,000,000 to enable the department
of agriculture to buy and sell seed to
farmers at cost at reasonable price.
1t is the purpose of the department,
if the sum suggested is made avail
able, to take immediate steps to Sc
cure, test, and store at least portion
of the supply of these seeds that will
pc needed for this season. The seed
will be sold to farmers only for cash
at reasonable price and it is provide
ed that the fund may be used as re-
volving fund until the secretary of
agriculture determines that the emer-
gency contemplated by the appropria-
ton no longer exists. Under the cir
cumstances it is believed that it will
be possible to return to the treasury
the entire amount appropriated or at
least the greater portion of it.

FARMERS BOUND TO WIN.

The record of farmers last year,
made in the face of obstacles, is ground
for confidence on their part that with
equal application and organization
they can overcome the difficulties this
year. according to Secretary Houston.
Unquestionably there will be difficult
ties to urmount-difficu1tie in re-
spect to labor and in respect to fer
tilizers, both as to price and quantity.
Prices of farm machinery, also, with
other things, have risen. In some re-
spects the farm-labor situation may
not be quite so difficult as last year, al
though it will continue to be especially
acute in certain sections of the coun-
try. The cantonments have been built
and there will not be a renewal of ur-
gent demands in many. sections for
labor for such work. The draft regu-
1ations provide for the deferred classil
fication of skilled farm labor. The
population of the country has in
creased somewhat within the past
year. The secretary of war has asked
congress for power to furlough sol
diers of the National army for agri-
cultural service if necessary.

DAIRY
FACTS
ENORMOUS WASTE IN WINTER
Minnesota Dairy Expert Makes Start
ling Statement as to Amount Of
Milk That Is Wasted.

Three and one-half billion pounds OF
milk are practically wasted In the
dairy states every winter. This makes
21,O0O,0O0 pounds every day. The fore
going is q startling statement, but r..
M. Washburn of the division of dairy
husbandry, Minnesota College of Agri-
culture, says it is true. The farmer
feeds most of his skim milk to hogs.
This milk, fed to hogs, produces only
20 per cent of its energy value in edi-
BILE pork. Eighty per cent of its ener-
gy valuesis lost. Mr.. Washburn says,
though, that some milk is necessary to
start pigs off strongly.
Much more Of the energy value of
the skim milk will be saved if it is
made into cottage cheese. Every 100
pounds of skim milk, says Mr.. Wash
burn, is equivalent to 20 pounds of or
binary meat, and will make Is pounds
of cottage cheese. The cheese con-
tains about one-third more protein
and one-third less energy than meat,
and is therefore essentially equivalent
to meat.

ADVISE U. S. SPECIALISTS

The normal acreage of Irish

ing the large crops in 1917, the
department of agriculture be-
lieves. This is especially true
In view of the necessity of re-
leasing more wheat for export.
Potatoes, both Irish and sweet,
are the most popular and most
generally used of the perishable
stable crops. The department,
through its extension and publ
cation activities, is encouraging
their greater use, especially the
use Of the Irish potato, as a par
tfal substitute for wheat in
bread-making.
The yield per acre can be
made more certain by greater
attention to the selection of dis
ease-free potatoes of good vari-
cites, by treatment of seed pota-
toes Immediately before plant
ing, and by the use of sprays to
prevent loss from blight.
