domestic politics in neutral
states, this controversy is associ-
ated closely with party Attitudes

Fall Seedin9.(;raSS Seed.


A number of inquiries have
come in as to the advisability of
this practice. Usually we base
our answers on what long time
practice has shown to be true.
In this case however, we have an
unusual situation and. unusual
methods will probably have to
follow.
Our meadows this year were
very short due to two years dry
weather and freezing out Of
grass seed, and next years hay
crop will also be very short un-
less we can do something to
meet the situation to some ex-
tent thru fall seeding. On land
that does not heave too badly
with freezing, and on land that
can be prepared right away and
seeded by the first of September,
there is chance that good re-
suits will follow. Next year, if
Canada field peas can be OBJ
tanned at a fairly reasonable
price the sowing of oats and
peas for hay is one other way of
meeting the tame hay shortage
This crop, if cut when the oats
are just past the milk stage
makes as good hay as clover and
timothy, and includes a legume
crop like clover.
Fall seeding is more or less Of
a gamble, but we believe the
chances Of making good in a ma
jority of cases are strong enough
to warrant fall seeding owing to
the present feed conditions.
Improving Our Farm Business
1t is difficult to repeat the
same ideas in new form each
week, but it is important for
Pine county farmers to recog-
nize that dairying, potatoes, the
sale Of some surplus livestock
are the three main sources of
farm income.
To save potato seed from a
few high yielding hills Of good
type, quality and free from dis
ease is important now. The seed
plot next year, the following
year and so on is the easiest
method of improving this source
Of income. Better rations from
home grown feeds is the simp-
lest way of improving the reve-
nue. from the dairy, and a live
stock shipping association is the
best agency for insuring maxi
mum returns from the sale Of
surplus livestock. The saving of
seed potatoes, the gathering and
proper cutting and storing Of
seed corn in sections Of the coun-
ty where corn is important are
subjects that should engage our
attention at this season Of the
year.
Filling Silos.

well dented and cut it into short
lengths AS il Uooc infn <ho e;In

If all of the pieces are less than
three-fourths of an inch the sill
age will pack better. consequent
ly makes better silage. Even
distribution in the silo and thoro
tramping while filling are the
main points to insure, A jointed
pipe inside of the silo enables
one man to distribute and tramp
the silage very well.
Adding water is seldom ne
cessary for the silage grown in
Pine County. In many cases our
silage is too wet. Where the
corn is very green when cut the
bundles should lay in the field
a few days until a third to a
half of the moisture has evapor-
ated. When the corn is very ripe
and dry it is necessary and ad-
visable to add water. But thoro
tramping to exclude all air will
cause the silage to keep better
than filling the spaces with sur
plus water. Green corn stalks
can be used to cover the top
when filed. This reduces the
amount of silage that mould on
the surface before feeding time
comes. However, all waste will
be prevented if feeding begins
as soon as the silo is filed.
In Pine county there are at
least 72 silos. Some communities
have not yet reported.
Cost Of Growing Wheat.
One acre Of wheat producing
IA bushels costs the farmer
about $500. according to Prof.
Peck of the Farm Management
Division. These figures include
the total man labor at 35 cents
per hour, horse labor at 18 cents
per hour, seed at $3.50 a bushel,
twine at Is cents pound. rent
of land at $500 per acre. thresh-
ing, taxes, machinery costs, gen
eral expenses. insurance and
hauling to town. These figures
are according to present day
costs for labor, machinery and
equipment.
This country needs to build up
a wheat reserve. In general it il
hoped that there will be at least
2 per cent increase. Pine coun-
ty is not considered 4 part Of the
main wheat growing area. Yet
the wheat acreage in Pine coun-
ty this year is surprisingly
large. Whether or not the wheat
acreage for Pine county should
be increased Z per cent is a ques-
|tion for the individual farmer to
decide. AS | have stated many
times before, / believe the Pine
county farmers are proceeding
on the safest plan when they ad-
just their crop acreage to the
livestock needs Of their own
farms first, and then il they have
more land for grain, wheat or
rye are the crops which should
be planted.
