Grain Harvesting Suggestions

Prof. R. T. Burdick. Help Farm
Specialist, offers the following sug
gestions:
Use bundle carrier on binder: il
saves time in shocking the grain.
Cap the wheat shocks; it makes
higher quality wheat.
Use low truck wagons to haul
grain.
Build a two-foot skeleton side on
rack, so one man can put on a fair
load alone.
Use hay sings in bottom of rack
so load can be put into NOW by horse
power.
If you stack grain, put it on a plat
form of timber to prevent the bot
tom lawyer from spelling.
Cover the stack of grain with fine
hay or old straw; it is cheaper than
spoilt grain.

Dat Smut

This disease. while not exceedingly
prevalent in Lamoille county is
present to the extent of ten per cent
of the entire crop in several fields
noted by the county agent. This
means a loss of ten bushels in a hum
bred which could have been saved
by proper treatment of the seed.
A pint of formaldehyde costs about
40 cents and will treat 40 bushels of
seed. As more grain is raised from
infected seed the smut will increase
in proportion so that every farmer
will save himself dollars by treating
his seed unless he is absolutely sure
that it was produced in an uninfect-
ed field. 1t is evident that certain
brand of seed oats was infected this
year. They were nice locking oats
but there is a $40 per cent loss from
smut. There is danger that several
other serious diseases will be intro
duced if farmers continre to plant
seed.

Select Your Potatoes at Digging
Time

There is great chance to increase
the potato yield without increasing
the cost of production by selecting
the seed at the time the potatoes
are dug instead of from the bin in
the spring. Several experiments by
Ward of the Ohio Station, on twelve
different varieties extending over
period of years demonstrated that
the yield could be increased 20 to 25
per cent. This increase was secured
without increased cost of fertilizer
or tillage.
The principle of seed potato selec-
ton is to select when digging the
hills which are free from disease,
are all of one variety, and produce
the greatest weight of marketable
tubers of fair degree of uniformity.
A seed potato tends to produce a
plant which will yield crop like the
plant from which it came and not
like itself. For example small po-
tato from highly yielding plant will
probably, other things being equal,
produce a highly yielding hill and
not hill of small ones. Likewise
a large potato from a poor hill will
produce a poor hill. If we select
large potatoes from the bin for seed
we get many which came from poor
hills and in spite of their size will
decrease the yield. If we select the
small potatoes from the bin we get
much greater percent of seed
which came from poor hills. By
selecting seed in the fall in the field
we get the potatoes both large and
small which came from the best hills
and will increase the yield. If this
method is followed year after year
a superior strain is soon developed.
In Lamoille county where the
amount of potatoes grown will not
warrant extensive seed breeding the
best method of selection is probably
to dig two rows at once by hand,
throwing on one side all the potatoes
from desirable seed hills and on the
other the undesirable hills.
Only a comparatively small area
would have to be dug in this way to
get enough seed. Slightly immature
potatoes make better seed than
those which are dead ripe.

Order Your Fertilizer Now

Considerable difficulty was ex-
perienced in 1918 in securing prompt
shipment of fertilizers. There is a
likelihood that similar difficulties may
be encountered this year and in or
der to avoid them as far as possible,
farmers, fertilizer agents, and deal
ers should unitedly endeavor to send
in their orders as soon as possible
for next years use.
