Fertlizing Wheat

Monthly Bulletin No. 19, issued by the Ohio agricultural experiment station, con- tains an article by pr. c. E. Thorne. di- rector of the station who reviews many years results of fertilizer tests in Ohio and finds that acid phosphate is respon- sible for larger returns than other ele- ments. Quoting:
 There have been 109 wheat crops grown during the 2S years and these have been produced in eight counties in the state. widely separated both in distance and in soil In the general average, each ton of avid phosphate has produced 80 bushels of wheat; but this is not all, for the un- fertilized clover crops following the wheat have produced sufficient increase to pay all cost of the fertilizing, leaving the in- crease of wheat as clear gain.
 In the experiments cited above, acid phosphate was used alone. When it was reinforced with nitrogen and potassium the increase was much greater, reaching in some cases to double the amount pro- duced by the acid phosphate alone"
 Dr. Thorne, however, claims that ma nure as reinforcement of acid phos- phate obtains additional gains at lower cost
 Few farmers even in the north and west have enough manure to treat the wheat fields with sufficient nitrogen and potash to meet the crop requirements The results obtained by the complete fer- tilizers would, therefore apparently not only be widely applicable in Ohio, but would certainly be generally applicabie in the south, where there is no manure ta speak of.

No Profit in Scrubs
Nv E. c. WILSON.

The farmers will never realize tho fullest measure of efficiency until they have started raising pure bred stock. The grade" or scrub hog, like the mongrel dog and the poorly bred horses have not single valid reason for ex- istence. They represent no quality or attainment that their pure bred cons temporaries cannot eclipse them in.
 As a case in point we may menrion the matter of food consumption. A grade hog or a grade cow will eat as much as pure bred specimen. The Texas steer, quite literally rack of bones and a hank of hair. consumes just as much provender as thor- oughbred Hereford. The disproportion in the consequent weight and financial returns of the two varieties of steers was so great that the longhorn has gone the way of the buffalo.
 I eagerly await the day when the same doom will visit the grade hog. The difference between the present record of pork production and that which might be achieved by the use of thoroughbred hogs throughout the country would total hundreds of mil- lions of dollars annually.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-06-13
THE PORK AND BEEF OUTLOOK

Careful analysis of the figures in re- five to seven millions hogs short at the period when the conservation pro- gramme was started with the American
 people, The average export of hog products per month was roughly 55,-
 000,00 pounds before the European war In the last half of the year of i1917, because of the decrease in the
 humber of hogs in the country. it fell below the somewhat increased level
 due to war demands In March, 1918, we were exporting 100000, 900 pounds per month, and can see our way clear,
 with the present saving and produc-
 tion. to go forward at this rate for an
 indefinite period. We have now in
 products which provides an ample re-
 serve for a steady flow to meet the lallied demands as we'll as the de- demands of this country. This repre-
 sents wholly the voluntary conserva- |tion of the country as it does not re- fleet the present increase in the hog population.
 Before the war, we were exporting two to three million pounds of beef monthly After the European war be- gan. there was an increase of 2S.000,000 pounds per month. Now, we are ex- porting 1S0,00o.00O pounds of beef per month and with the continuation of and production there is Inc reason for anticipating other than Ia continuation of this vital prgramme. The food administration began its pre- |liminary work in May, year ago. as lpart of the fighting programme, of the United States. 1t set A~ Es goal the provisioning of thv armies and peo- tples of the governments associated lwith us in the war. There have beer necessary adjustments on both sides

REPORT OF CROP CONDITIONS

The bureau of crop estimates, Auburn, through it's field agent for Alabama, submits it's monthly report of crop com ditions, as follows:
 Cotton.-On May 25 the condition of cotton in Alabama was found to be 7S per cent of normal, while the con- dition for the entire belt was S23. The acreage has not yet been determined. and therefore no quantitative forecast can be made. The crop in north Ala bama was planted about the norma! date and the growth at the time of re- port was quite favorable, across cen tral Alabama some complain of poor stands were received and fields were somewhat grassy on account of the scarcity of hoe hands, this being espe- cially true of the black belt: in the south part of the state bad stands were very general and the plant was small. The condition for the entire belt waa the best in seven years at this date.
 Wheat.-On June 1 the condition of wheat in Alabama was found to be a per cent of normal. as compared with 65 last year and 10-year average Of s. production of 1,64o,0o0 bushels was forecast for the state, compared with 93o.000 bushels last year and 1O-yea ' average of 66S, ,0O0
 For the United States the condition of winter wheat was SS.S, and the total forecast of production was 5S7 O00, 600 bushels, compared with 41S.07O.0OO last year. The spring wheat acreage was fixed at 22,500.000, compared with lS,- 511,0oO last year; the condition was 95.2 and total production of S44OO0 900 bushels was forecast, compared with s2.75s,oco last year. The prospects for total wheat production in the United States are for a crop of 931. .0o0. GOO bushels
 Oats. The acreage grown to oats in Alabama was found to be 5S3 900, coni- pared with 540,000 last year, and 10- year average of 435,O0O. The condition of the crop on June 1 was SS, compared with 60 last year and S2 the 10-year average. The forecasted total produc- tfon for the state is 12,3OO,000 bushels. compared with 9.72OOO0 last year.
 For the United States the acreage IS 44.5o0.0o0. compared with 4s,572,0O0 last year, and 10-year average of 8. .456 O0O: the condition of the crop was 93.2. and the forecasted total production is one and one-half billion bushels
 Barley.-The prospect for barley pro- duction in the United States was found to be also very flattering. the forecast for the present crop being 235,000, 600 bushels. against 2oSs75,0O0 for last year and lo-year average of POI, ,4o6 .ooo bushels
 Rye also bids fair to yield splendid crop. the forecasted production for Ala bama being 46,000 bushels, against 8 900 last year, and for the United States 81, ,0o0,000 bushels, against 60,145,0 900 last year and a ten-year average of 44,547, GOO.
 Hay-A record hap crop was forecast for Alabama and also for the United States, the state crop being Indicated at 2,340,000 tons and that for the entire country at 1c5sss9.ooo tons. The fig
