This observation-disclosures OF
Plant Are Stated in Bulletin from
L. 5. Department of Agriculture.

Spinach cultivation will be carried
on much more extensively in Calltor-
MIA in the future. according to a bull
letin just issued by Stanley S. Rog
ors, associate professor of olerlcul-
ture in the University of California.
This will be due to the great demand
for this crop for canning purposes.
Spinach is we'll adapted to a large
area in California; Professor Rogers
continues, land may be grown wher-
ever condition are favorable for the
production of vegetables. Under nor
NAL conditions, when growing spin
ach in large tracts, the cost varies
from S25 to $50 per acre, exclusive
of land values or fertilizers. The yield
per acre varies from three to five
tons. with an average production of
four tons. When selling to the cam
merry the customary price is S25 per
ton. On the fresh market the grow
er will usually receive from cents
to 5 cents per pound, unless the de
mand is over-supplled.
Spinach is best adapted to rich,
light loan, and is not satisfactory
crop to grow on soils of poor quail
ity or those which will not retain
moisture well. The climatic require
mentS of this crop are very eXacting.
The plants will stand, without injury
a relatively low degree of tempera-
ture, but are seriously injured by
heat. Planting early in the fall and
late in the spring should be avoided
since the plants will not make sat
isfactory growth during hot weather
When planting during the rainy sea-
son, provided the soil is of a sandy
nature and is free from weeds so that
it will not pack wet, this crop may re-
quire no cultivation. The crop is
ready to harvest in six weeks to three
months after planting"

TO ALLOW FOR
BARLEY SACk|NC
Farmers Will Get 20 Cents for Their
Sacks in Addition to the Stated
Price for Wheat and Barley. Ac-
cordng TO Decision of the Food Ad-
ministratiOn Yesterday.
{ BY Associated Press)

San Francisco, March 12.-Farm-
ers throughout the Western states
will he allowed 9 cents per bushel,
or rproXimately 20 cents each, for
bags on sacked wheat for the new
terday by r. A. Levin. second vice
president of the Grain Corporation
of the United States Food Admin
stration and zone agent for Califor-
mia, Nevada and Arizona. The new
price amounts to an increase of about
II cents per bag over allowances for
the 1917 crop and will assure the
farmer an adequate return on the
price he has to pay for new bags, ii
was said.
/ The government price for wheat. an
,nounced recently by President Wilson.
fixing S2,10 bushel for No. / wheat
at San Francisco and Los Angeles, is

cally all the wheat in California is
sacked. the farmers will receive S2.19
a bushel for No. l sacked wheat. de-
livered at San Francisco or Los An
geles. The allowance for sacks made
last year was only 4 cents a bushe!,
and the increase is due to the high
prices prevailing for bags.
There has been agitation over the
high prices being asked for bags for
the new crop. A full investigation
was held last week in Washington be-
fore the War Trade Board and the
evidence went to show that the pres
ent hig hprices are due to the high
prices demanded for bags in Calcut-
ia, and not to any speculation on the
part OF bag men here. Jute products

reason that cotton products have ad

not to raise the price above % cents

is sold.
While no definite allowance is set
for barley, it is known that the value
of the secondhand bags is added tc
the bulk value of the barley and indi-
rectly the farmer will get back Just
about the same proportion of the cost
of his bags when he sells his barley.
Many farmers, it was said, do not real
ize this, but feel that they have t.

grain.
/ The assurance of the new price, 50

that the end Of the war or othe1

The maintenance usually runs up
TO considerable annual cost, and 1t
Is this maintenance that usually Is
neglected by county commissioners
and road supervisors.
AS good an illustration of road
maintenance as 1 have been able to
find is that practiced by New Hamp-
shire. New Hampshire's roads are
mainly graveled roads. Most of
them are rightly constructed, the
gravel being wet and rolled as il is
placed upon the road, but in many
of the expense and in these places the
gravel is simply spread upon the road
and left for the traffic to compact.
Many Of these roads have TO bear
fairly heavy traffic, especially dur
ing the summer months, most of
which is automobile traffic, and the
roads would soon be ruined were it
not for the maintenance feature of
New Hampshire's road system. This
road maintenance is carried on by
several hundred patrolmen. They are
hired from the last of March until
the first of December, and their
work consists in patching every lit
tie rut and hole that appears, clean
ing the bitches and culverts and in
keeping the roads smooth.
Each patrolman has a section of
road assigned him. He is required to
furnish a one-horse wagon, a shovel,
rake and light road drag, The
road Is smoothed by this drag after
every rain, and If chuck holes start,
fresh material is placed in them,
tamped down and left for the traffic
to compact.
These patrolmen are paid an aver
age of 1925 day and the total cost
of maintenance runs about $40 per
mile per year. The total first cost
of construction of these roads runs
about $4,000 mile.

10 the acre, when placed In the silo
mt the Chatham station, were found
TO provide most excellent winter
feed for sheep. The second crop of
clover was also put into the silo.
If there is a question as 10 the wis
dom of building silo il would be
wise TO take up the matter with the de-
partment of animal husbandry at NJ.
A. G. A letter addressed to the de-
partment at its offices in East Lans-
ing will bring the desired information.
Or possibly 1t may be more convenient
TO call in your county agricultural
agent.
There isn't much doubt in the mind
of the average up-to-date farmer about
the value of a silo where corn and live
stock are the main factors in the busi-
ness-a silo in the right place is about
as effective a weapon as can be turned
against the kaiser. The biggest bogy
To the man who has silOs on his mind
is that of cost. Couldn't think of
building now with prices where they
are" many of these men say. There is
no gainsaying the fact that prices
aren't what they used TO be-and
neither are corn prices. Bushel for
bushel corn can buy more sllo today
than ii could four years ago. The
secret of this declaration is TO be
found in the relative increase in
prices. The price of corn has advanced
faster than the price of the materials
which go into the construction of
silo. The price should not stand in the
way of the man who needs a silO. AS
a general practice, also, bankers are
usually willing TO advance loans for
silo building, for such move on the
part of farmer is construed as con-
structive effort-as an attempt, I'm 9th
er words, TO improve the earning pow
er of the business.
G.. /. Christie of Indiana has sum-
married. the points in favor of silo
in this wise:
l. The slO preserves the palatabil-
ity and succulence of the green corn
plant for winter feeding.
2. 1t helps to make use of the entire
corn plant.
3. The silO increases the live stock
capacity of the farm.
4. Silage is summer feed when
pastures are short.
5. Because of the small amount of
ground space required by the silo, it
Is an economical means of storing for
age.
6. The silo prevents waste Of corn
stalks. leaves and husks, which con-
tain about two-fifths of the feeding
value of the corn plant.
Z. The silO located near the feed
manger is an assurance Of having feed
near at hand in stormy as well as fair
weather.
8. The silO assists in reducing the
cost of gains in fattening cattle and
sheep.
8. Silage greatly increases the milk
flow during the winter season and de-
creases the cost of production.
10. There are no stalks To bother in
the manure when corn is put into the
silo.
Some highly helpful information on
the subject of constructing silos can
be obtained from the department OF
farm mechanics of NJ. A. G. A card
mailed To the department will secure
this for you.

. A CONCRETE sILo.

The value Of these lies in their per-
manency and the fact that the cost Of
construction is low, because much Of
the material necessary for building can
be secured on the farm.
there is likelihood that much of the
crop may not mature fully-unless
Michigan (and good season ought TO
be about duel should be favored with
unusually good corn weather.
Where there is a silo on the farm
II will be possible to obtain a maxi
mum benefit from the crop. If farm
er without silo is caught with late
maturing variety. the loss may be con-
siderable. Under the circumstances
the evident moral is Build silo."
Michigan, as whole is probably as
literally besprinkled with silos as any
state in the Union. II has been the
silo, in fact, that has really made the
growing of corn profitable in the cen
trail and middle northern counties. for
until IL was introduced, corn was hard
ly safe crop except I'm the southern
tier of counties. But while silos have
come to occupy large place in Mich
igan husbandry. there is still much
room for more-though the warning
must be added that not every farm
needs a silo. The formula "where you
have corn and cattle, build silo." is
a fairly safe one.
This. naturally, brings up the ques-
ton of just where these structures be-
gin to be an economy. This has usual
ly been answered with the declaration
that If farmer keeps at least ten
cows. then it is good business to build
a silo.
All rules have their exceptions, of
course. and i'm this instance northern
Michigan fills this bill. The upper
peninsula Is developing rapidly as a
dairying and cattle raising country,
but II is perhaps making its biggest
strides In sheep husbandry. At the

From Office of Publications, Michigan
Agricultural College.

East Lansing, Mich.-One of the sur
prising features of Michigan's war
time agriculture has been the rapidity
and the success with which the Mich
igan farmer has adjusted himself to
the changed conditions which have
come i'm the wake of the war. On
many farms tractors have TO "a certain
extent replaced horses. On others ma
chinery has been made 10 make up for
a lack of men, and in still more numer-
Gus instances boys, and even women.
have been drafted into the working
forces TO help keep up production.
More remarkable than all these has
been the effectiveness with which the
state has met the seed corn shortage.
Owing 10 the extreme acuteness OF
the seed corn situation early In the
year. the corn acreage is still some
what below normal. but without the
100000 bushels brought In by the seed
corn committee, and dealers who CO.
operated with it, il is doubtful if more
than so per cent of the customary
acreage would have been seeded 10
this essential crop in 1918.
In congratulating themselves on the
apparent successful tiding over Of this
crisis. however, many growers have
lost sight of the fact that new prob
lens may have come in with the i'm
ported corn. Every effort was put
forth by the men who secured seed for
Michigan to buy only early maturing
varieties, but Notwithstanding the care
and caution exercised by these agents,

Find Garbage Pays.

Norton for the experiment station of
the college, have brought out clearly
the value of garbage as a feed. The
work was commenced on April "a with
IL pigs. weighing LAS pounds. or an
average of 131 pounds each. The ami
mails were fed raw garbage from $50
people and nothing else. On June 20
the combined weight of the pigs was
2.121 pounds, or an average OF 1913
pounds each. The gain was 673 pounds
of pork for the IL head. With pork
at 1914 cents a pound. this was worth
$111.05. In other words, garbage from
each person of the $50 who supplied
