TO INCREASE SUGAR SUPPLY
recommendations Given for Mainte-
nance and Extension Of Domestic
cane.Sugar Output.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The growers Of cane and sugar beets
can materially increase the nations
supply Of sugar by giving better care to
their crops SO that the yields will be
increased. Following are recommen-
dations for the maintenance and extern
sion Of the domestic cane-sugar supply !:
~ Extend the cane-growing areas; use
better cultural methods; adopt crop
rotation system; improve cane varie-
ties: control diseases and insects util-
lie more by-products; feed tops and
leaves to live stock; substitute cane
strip for sugar; improve the grade Of
sirup; produce raw sugar to conserve
the refined sugar.
To maintain and increase the domes-
tic beet-sugar output the following rec
concentrations are given:
Improve cultural methods; practice
proper methods Of crop rotation and
cultivation; feed by-products to. live
stock; work for maximum mill runs
cultivate new areas; drain wet areas
and cultivate them; develop new irri-
cation systems and extend the old
ones; induce more farmers to grow
beets; harvest the beets more careful
ly; develop labor-saving machinery
produce an adequate supply of high
grade sugar-beet seed, and develop bet
ter strains Of sugar beets. 8

WARFARE ON WEED ENEMIES
Rocking Chair Methods Are UnavaII,
ing-Hard Work Is Necessary to
Eradicate Them.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
In a sense, farming might be called
a warfare against weeds. Some farm.
ers emerge from the struggle victori-
GUS, while others go down to defeat.
So powerful are weed enemies in re-
ducing crop yields, while at the same
time multiplying labor, that the farm
er should at every turn strengthen his
position against them. He should bear
these invaders in mind in planning the
crops he will grow and in deciding on
the fields where he will grow these
crops, in choosing the implements he
will use, in buying his seed, and in
many other farm activities. Lack of
careful planning with reference to
weeds is apparent in nearly every COM
munity. Here man planted more
corn than he could properly care for.
There a man has left his field in
meadow too many years. Here man
did not thoroughly prepare his land for
alfalfa. There a man has seeded
clover that was full Of weed seeds. And
for just such causes weeds not only
make serious inroads on the current
crop yields, but at the same time thor
oughly infest the land and fortify
themselves against future attacks.
Some men do not attack weeds with
enough vigor; they look for rocking
chair methods Of work. There is no
royal road to weed control. In the
main, the old doctrine Of "hard work
and plenty of it, must be observed, but
unless this work is applied intelligent
ly vast amount of labor may be ex-
pended and but little accomplished be-
yond temporary abatement of the
evil.

SERVES AS AN ANEMoMETER
Marked Popularity Of the sargasso
Sea That Columbus Discovered,
II Is Said.

In the space between the Azores,
Canaries and the Cape Verde islands
lies the great Sargasso sea. Covering
an area equal in extent to the valley
of the Mississippi, it is so thickly
matted over with gulf weed that the
speed of vessels passing through it is
often much retarded. The weed all
ways tails to" steady or a constant
wind, so that it serves the mariner as
sort of anemometer. telling him
whether the wind as he finds it has
been blowing for some time or whether
it has just shifted, and which way
Columbus first found this weedy sea
on his voyage of discovery. There it
has remained until this day, moving
up and sdown, and changing it's posi-
ton, like the calms of Cancer, as aft
fected by the seasons, the storms and
the winds, according to Maury's au-
thority, exact observations as to its
limits and their range, extending back
for SO years, assure us that its mean
position has not been altered since
that time. There is also sargasso to
the west Of Cape Of Good Hope, which,
though comparatively small, is clearly
defined. Mention is casually made of
1t in the logs as 'rock weed" and
drift matter" The weedy space about
the Falkland islands is probably not
true sargasso. The seaweed' report
ed there most probably comes from
the Straits of Magellan, where Inn

weed that steamers find great difficulty

ment Of Agriculture.)
In some sections Of the country the
need for better breeding stock was out
standing when the United States de-
partment Of agriculture began its boys
and girls pig club work.
In such cases the pig-club agents
have practically insisted that only
purebred pigs could be used in the
breeding projects. This necessitated
the importing Of registered pigs of both
sexes. The results Of the demonstra-
tons made by members handling these
pigs under instruction from the pig
club leader have caused great de-
mand for pigs '.just like Sonny's." The
club members demonstrations of the
advantages and possibilities of we'll
bred swine when intelligently fed and
managed have caused a great increase
in demand for breeding stock from the
purebred breeders. At first the breed
ers were inclined to be skeptical, as
they expected the boys to buy regis
tered stock, allow it to deteriorate,
then offer purebred scrub pigs at meat
prices-thus destroying the demand
for the breeders pigs. The breeders
were happily disappointed and are now
lending their support and backing to
the work. One professor says, pig
club work has created the greatest de-
mand for breeding stock that this state
has ever experienced"
nAnoand RanIe&Arad pina
In some cases the refusal Of club
members to accept anything but reg
istered pigs has induced breeders to
have their herds registered in order
that they might share in the demand
for pigs by club members. A typical
case Of the influence the purebred pigs
brought in by pig-club members is
given by county agent in Arkansas.
When the agent began work there
were two breedersin the county pro-
ducing pigs Of sufficient merit to meet
the demands of the club work. In the
first year of his work he had 35 pig
club members. Four of these members
secured registered boars. These boars
sired So filters Of pigs from scrub
sows, thereby improving the blood Of
402 pigs. They also sired AZ purebred

CONTROL PASTURE WEEDS

prepared by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.)
Such weeds as wild onion,
bitterweed, and the ragweed
cause great annoyance to dairy
men and milk dealers. These
weeds, when eaten by mich
cows, give a very disagreeable
odor and flavor to the milk, and
consequently to all other dairy
products. When cows eat such
weeds in large quantities, the
milk is not marketable. The
control Of pasture weeds is a
big problem to dairymen in GER
tain areas.
