HORSES NEED MORE
CARE THIS SPRING

Many farm horses have been winter
ed rather poorly this winter because of
the feed shortage and high prices.
They must now be prepared for an un-
usually hard springs work.
Horses which have been wintered on
roughage should be started now on a
small daily grain ration and gradually
brought back to full working ration
If possible they should be started on
light work or worked half day at a
time until they get hardened.
The shoulders should be washed daily
with salt water when the collar is re,
moved, to avoid shoulder gals and to
tougher the skin. It is well also to
wash the collar with damp cloth when
it is removed from the shoulder.
Begin now to get the horses and horse
equipment ready for spring work.

USE THE RAG DOLL
TO TEST SEED EARS

The rag doll seed tester. simple
and reliable method Of determining ger
mination. will tell YOU whether your
seed corn is fit to plant. This method
of testing corn is described in detail in
Farmers Bulletin 94S of the DEPART
ment OF Agriculture. Briefly it consists
OF strip Of cloth. preferably bleached
muslin. sixteen inches wide and from
three to five feet long The cloth should
be marked off into squared sections and
the squares all numbered. The ears
to be tested should also be given cor
responding numbers. Six or more ker-
nels should be selected from different
parts of each ear. and placed in the
proper section. When the tester. is
filled. fold over each side so that the
edges meetin the center. roll up and
soak the tester for few hours in luke
warm water. Drain the excess water
off, and place the dolls in warm place
to terminate. They should be covered
with a wet cloth to keep them moist.
and in about FIVE days should &c suffi-
GENTLY well terminated to show their
fitness for seed.

SEED GRAIN TESTS
ARE EASILY MADE

Large seeds. such as corn beans. and
peas. terminate most successfully be-
tween moist folds of Canton flannel.
While medium-sized seeds. such as
wheat. oats. clover and alfalfa. germi-
nate best between moist folds of blot
ting paper. The very small seeds such
as timothy. red top. alsike. and white
clover can he most successfully germi-
mated on top Of moist blOtters.
To make termination test. two Ordi-
nary plates may be used. The cloths or
blotters should be dipped in lukewarm
water and spread upon one of the
plates. One hundred seeds should be
counted from the sample which is to
be tested. and placed between cloths or
blotters or on top of blotters, depend
ing on the kind of seed to be tested.
The plates should be kept in a room at
ordinary temperature. from IS to 70
degrees Fahrenheit.
The total count Of the sprouts at the
end of the sixth day will indicate the
value of the grain for seed. If 90 or 81:
seeds grow. the termination is good
but below 90 the value Of the grain for
sSeed is doubtful.

UNCLE SAM ASKS FOR
LARGER WHEAT AREA

The United States government has
issued an urgent appeal to the farmers
of the northwest to increase their
spring wheat acreages this spring in
order to meet one Of the most vital
needs of the nation in connection with
the war for liberty and human freedom
now being waged in Europe. The ap-
peal is to their patriotism.
With the call for large acreage
goes the call also for thorough prepara-
ton of the seed bed, the selection of the
best seed possible, and the treatment of
sed to prevent losses through plant
diseases.
The department Of agriculture Of the
University of Minnesota stands ready
to cooperate in every way possible by
the distribution Of bulletins, through
the services of the state seed laboratory
at University Farm, st. Paul, OF
through it's many other departments.

Temporary suspension Of the meat

cial restrictions against the use of Dor,

food administration last week. as a re-

intention to add to the restrictions al

TO PROVIDE FOR
LABOR WANTS
Public Safety Commission VIII Be
Ready To Fill Farm Labor
Demands.

The farmers of the State OF Mime
sofa need have no fear but what the
farm labor proposition will be handled
i'll manner that will obviare any
necessity for worry il that respect.
The Commission Of Public Safety last
year. although securing very late
start in its work along this line. was
able to answer all demands upon it for
farm labor. Almost one of the first
things that the Agricultural Committee,
represented by Colonel G. H. March.
did. was to take over the Labor Depart
ment Of the Twin Cities. and expand it
INTO an organization that proved itself
absolutely efficient and practical in fur
nishing help where help was needed. on
very short notice.
At the beginning of the season last
year there was great apprehension
throughout the state that farm labor
was going to be so scarce that it would
make 1t necessary for city people. and
people that are employed in populated
centers. to spend their vacations upon
the farms in order to assist in gather
ing in the harvest. There was a great
cry that the farmers would be absolute
ly unable to handle the situation unless
drastic means of this kind were en-
ployed. Under the direction of the
commission. however. all these fears
and agitation were made unnecessary
and the work of supplying labor to the
farmers was organized quickly and
efhclently. and in a manner that would
take care of all future demands
Preparations are now being made and
organization work has been going on
since the close of last years season. to
provide for any demands that might be
made upon the Commission and its
Labor Department this year The Com
mission feels confidence in its ability
through its organization to handle all
phases of the labor situation. The
farmers. Of the state are rapidly learn
ing that the Commission is able to look
after their interests and that the Com
mission is fully awake to every respOn-
sibllity that rests upon it in this matter

WHY WHEAT APPEARS
} YEARS SAFEST CROP

Wheat looks like the most surely
profitable grain crop this year.
The high price of oats and barley at
the present time. however, may bring
an increased acreage Of those crops at
the expense of the wheat crop
Farmers. therefore. will do we'll to
consider the possibilities of profit from
these crops before changing the acreage
materially.
The average yield of wheat in Mime
sofa for the last ten-year period was
1872 bushels an acre. At 50 bushel.
which is about the price that the aver
age Minnesota farmer can expect for
turn of $27 an acre.
The average yield of oats for the
same period was 3O.S bushels. To bring
S21 an acre oats would need to sell at
SIS cents bushel next year. The
average yield of barley for the ten-year
period was 1856 bushels. To bring $27
all acre barley would need to sell at
$1.14 buShel While oats are bringing
something over so cents now, and bar
ley is much higher than S114. it is not
probable that these prices will be main
tanned if a normal crop Of the small
grains is secured. especially if corn
should prove to be good crop. That
is why wheat looks like the most surely
profitable grain crop.
Barley and oats must compete with
corn as feed crop. Farmers will pre-
fer to feed corn if it is available. The
consequences will be that barley and
oats will shrink in price more quickly
than wheat. since the price of wheat is
fixed at 1920 in Chicago. Corn prob
ably would be keener competitor for
wheat than the small grains were it not
for the seed shortage 1t this is over
come corn may vet crowd wheat for the
increased acreage. The average state
yield Of corn for the ten-year period is
1928 bushels per acre. TO bring as
much as an acre of wheat. corn must
sell at 1915 cents a bushel. With live
stock at present prices it is likely that
it will sell for as much as that. even
though a normal crop is secured

KILL BARBERRY
SAVE THE WHEAT

The stem rust of wheat and other
cereals passes one stage of its existence
on the common barberry, though not on
the japanese barberry. In the early
spring the rust passes to the common
barberry and then does not spread from
barberry to barberry, but spreads from
barberry to wild grasses and then to
cereals or directly from barberries to
the cereals, if they happen to be grow
ing near.
Stem rust has been so much reduced
in Denmark by the eradication Of the
barberry that it does not seem to be a
factor in grain-growing at all.
All farmers, therefore, should take
out and burn barberry bushes before
the buds unfold in the spring. Even
the barberries in cities may have an
effect on wheat rust. These should
ultimately be removed and destroyed
also.
Remember it is only the common bar
berry, including the purple-leafed va
riety, which is dangerous. The Japan
csc or small-leafed variety is harmless.

"Statements made by Governor Burn

ventlon in st. Paul this month must be

Says Charges Are Ridiculous.
"Charges of disloyalty hurled at the
