Farm Demonstration Notes.

The chief factor in the cutting down by
one-third of Monteomerys 1918 wheat
crop was the late seeding last fall in dry
soil. This condition did not permit the
growth of sufficient root system to with
stand the severe winter. The Hessian fly
which is the principal reason for late seed
ing, has not been much in evidence OF
late. 1t will probably prove a wise policy,
especially as there is a deficiency of soil
moisture at this time. to begin seeding a
little earlier than usual. The chances are
that there is likely to be less danger OF
damage from the fly this fall than from
late seeding. A good root system and
sufficient top growth to furnish some pro-
lection will 60 long way toward enabling
the crop to 60 through the winter in good
shape.
Right now is the time to prepare for
next springs corn crop. Good seed corn
10 not an accident. 1t is generally the re-
suit of intelligent care OF course. the
labor shortage is serious. but so is poor
seed corn. One man can in half day
select from the field all the seed he will
need next spring. This will not delay corn
cutting nor wheat seeding enough to make
any material difference. But it will make
great difference in the quality of next
years's corn crop. You cannot buy as good
seed as you are likely to have on your own
farm. But it should be selected from the
plant and not from pile. The easiest way
to do this Is to walk through the field with
some white or colored strips of cloth or
strings and tie one on each stalk which
meets your ideal and carries promising
ear. These ears can then be kept separate
at husking time. Better select enough
seed for two years in order to play safe or
help out neishbor Then see that it is
kept in a dry place. where it will not freeze.
1t is quite possible to increase your yield
a barrel an acre by careful field selection.
II 1t is more corn you want. why not try
out this method. which has given such good
results to hundreds of othersY

Last winters coal famine is still fresh in
mind, and the prospect for the coming
winter is little. if any better, than that of
the last. Wood is going to waste in the
woods, and the Fuel Administrator is calling
upon all those living in rural districts. with
in reach of wood supplies, to provide wood
for their winter use. and save coal. Wood
cut before November LIST will be sufficiently
seasoned to burn this winter.
Now is the time to get busy on the wood
proposition for the coming winter Ger
tainly every farmer should make himself
independent OF any coal shortage. and
would be sure of receiving a good price for
any surplus wood that he might have to
sell.
Those not on farms. but living in rural
sections, will find ii decidedly to their adj
vantage to secure supply Of frewood in
place of the coal they probably will not be
able to procure. When cold weather comes
it will be too late to secure seasoned wood
suitable for winter use.
The heat problem is one that must be
solved within the next few weeks. and
this is the time, when there is a little let
up in the pressure Of farm work, to look
after this important matter.
After cutting a supply for personal use,
the farmer should cut an equal amount to
help out those who have no wood of their
own. He will be well repaid for his time
and will be doing public service in help
ing to keep the home fires burning"
Advice on any woodland problems will
be freely given by the State Forester. 532
