Care the Brood Sow Needs

Do not confine the sow in her far
rowing pen more than forty-eight
hours before narrowing time If it is
possible to avaid doing so. Reduce
the heavy feed to some extent, prob
ably about half, for that length of
time. The narrowing house or pen
should be comfortably warm, well
ventilated, and well lighted. Above
all else, it should be we'll bedded. Do
not allow any circulation of air under
the floor. Too many hog growers
make the mistake Of bedding too
lightly. Heavy bedding naturally
makes the sow comfortable and
warm-conditions necessary if she is
to be quiet. Use wheat or rye straw.
Wild hay is good, as is millet. Do not
use oat straw unless there is nothing
else at hand.

4 MAY CAUSE GREAT
Loss in GRAINS
SUPPLIES FOR REPLANTING ARE
SECURED FOR FARMERS
TO BE SOLD AT COST

East Lansing, Mich, May 27.-
Michigan faces possible outbreak of
bl3ck stem rust of wheat this summer
shch as that which destroyed about
g, 100000 worth of wheat in 1916.
Field men Of M. A. c. are reporting
that rust has been observed within the
past few days in localities as widely
separated as Bay City, Grand Rapids,
Benton Harbor, Montcalm county ana
Lansing, and as far north as Iron
Mountain, where several cases of in
fection have been found. The rust
is making its first appearance upon
the leaves of the common tall bar
berry, and from these shrubs is being
&scattered to grain fields.
"This widespread presence of rust
ION the common barberry means that
Iour greatly increased acreage may be
Endangered if the barberry is not re-
.moved," says ID. G. III. Coons, plant
{pathologist for the experiment station
8of M. A. c.
REPORTS from our scouts show
that the rust already is here If two
{or three damp days should come, to-
|gfher with hot sultry weather, this
|rbst will spread like wildfire over the
|grain fields, attacking oats, barley and
|rye as well as wheat.
1.-The most effective way to check
this rust outbreak" says DIR. Coo
|'is to get rid of every common, tall
|barberry bush in the state, Of both
the green leaf and the purple leaf va
|rieties"
A statewide campaign to eradicate
|these dangerous shrubs has been GO
ling on in Michigan for some time.

L.. =. DEPARTMENT PLANS
TO HANDLE FARM LABO-

The United States Department OF
Agriculture has established labor
agencies in every state OF the Union
to work in cooperation with the
State Labor Commissioner and Coun-
ty Agricultural Agents in handling
farm labor. A farm labor specialist
has been appointed in every state to
work with the different state labor
commissioners in collecting and dis
tributing the labor available and
needed on the farms OF each county
munity is to select some existing or
ganization such as commercial
club or some bank in the county, and
in most cases each community or
town. to take and record all de-
mands and requirements Of farmers
for farm help. Such demands are to
be made known to the State Labor
Commissioner thru the county agents.
BY this means every state is kept
in touch with its adjoining states
and all surplus labor is kept tabu-
lated and ready for distribution to
localities needing same.
II is hoped by the labor and feed
survey to be conducted thru the pub
lie schools in February. that much in
formation will be gained in regard
to the farmers needs in this line.
| Farmers will no doubt make a su.
preme effort to make record crop
this year. both by reason of the high
prices of farm products and from q
patriotic standpoint. To do this they
must have an adequate supply oi
farm help, both regular and in emer,
gency seasons. II is the earnest de
sire that all organizations will take
an interest in this movement and a,
soon as the labor survey is com
pleted announcements will be mad,
designating the local organization
that will handle this work in tn,
county.

FARMERS OF BEAVER
COUNTY, ATTENTION
Buy w. =. 3.

The Farm Survey to be taken thru
the public schools during this month
is designed to locate demands and
supplies OF farm labor. farm feeds
and seeds.
The total failure of the corn crop
in the western half Of Oklahoma last
year has caused many farmers who
heretofore have depended entirely
on corn for feed, to begin to look
elsewhere for something that will
produce a reliable feed crop with
more certainty than Indian corn, with
the result that the part of Oklahoma
lying west OF a line drawn north and
south thru Oklahoma City. will plant
an acreage of grain sorghums this
year. three or four times as large as
II has ever planted before.
This means that the demand for
seeds OF Maize aud Kafir will be un-
|precedented this spring. and when
the farm survey Is completed and II
10 hhoWH hoW nu'u VI thtSt Sttuo
are to be had in Beaver county. the
demand will be such that Maize and
Kafr that is suitable for seeds will
be quickly used up.
II is the part of wisdom for every
farmer in Beaver county. who Is not
now supplied with all OF these seeds
that he will need for his spring plant
ing, to act at once and supply him
self with such seeds as he will need.
Don't put IL of a few weeks
longer. for the chances are that you
will be too late. Get busy now and
secure your seeds for spring plant
ing. Dwarf Maize and Dwarf Kafr
have produced best results for the
past two dry years, which is sufficient
reason for depending mainly on them
again. No one knows what the sea
son will be this year, but 1t is always
safe to plan for dry one.
Supply yourself with Dwarf Maize
and Kafir seeds and prepare to con
serve all moisture that falls in the
spring and up to planting time. This
is the only way to insure a profitable
crop.

istration. These regulations have
been sent to all County Food Admin
istrators with instructions that they
be followed in order that the wheat

sumer will be vitally interested in

ments that they have on hand corn

tailers who have already placed or
ders for substitutes.

for retailers selling -four in original
mill packages shall not exceed s1.00.

tigation under the excessive profit
clause OF the food bill. Substitutes
for wheat -four must be sold at no
more than a reasonable profit over
actual purchase price OF particular
goods without regard to market or
replacement value. Drastic action Is

price OF any substitute to make more
than normal profit.
