INCREASING DEMAND
FOR TIMBER OF ELM
Total Stand Placed at Approx
mateIy 7lEa Billion Feet
Wood Is Desirable Where Strength,
Bending Quality and Ability to
Withstand Shock Are Con-
cerned-Takes Good Polish.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Elm timber growing In the farm
wood lot Is a valuable asset.
The demand for elm is increasing,
while the supply Is rapidly diminish
ing. 1t is estimated that the total
stand of elm in the United States is
approximately 7h billion feet. This
amount would furnish a supply for
approximately 80 years at the present
rate Of cutting, as the annual output
of elm lumber Is about 24,000,00O
board feet, placing elm twelfth In rank
among all woods and tenth among
hardwoods in point Of lumber produc-
tion.
Elm wood Is desirable where
strength, bending quality and ability
to Withstand shocks are required. 1t
is, in general, heavy, hard and strong.
The most important use to which it Is
put, according to the bulletin, Is In
the cooperage industry, the amount
credited to this use being more than
twice that Of the next In importance,
which is in the manufacture Of bas-
kets and crates. 1t is estimated that
147OO0,0O0 board feet are used annu-
ally in making cooperage stock or bar
rels.
Elm Is used extensively in making
agricultural implements and vehicles
also. 1t Is useful in the manufacture
of wheels and bodies for automobiles,
and the rapid growth Of this industry
has brought about considerable in
crease in the demand for elm. It's abil-
ity to take a good polish makes 1t de.
sirable in the manufacture of certain
pieces of furniture, cabinet work and
interior trimmings. 1t Is fairly dura-
BILE wood, the average untreated lum-
her in situations exposed to weather
lasting six to eight years. When prop
erly treated with creosote this period
may be heightened to 20 or more years.

sion service and started In to farm. All
the money he had was $50, but there
was no lack of energy and ambition in
his makeup-and that goes long way
in farming
That $3.50, hard-earned money, too.
was the first payment on 100 acres;
and very poor horse and one COW
comprised the initial live stock.
Nerve and integrity, though. an
swered as security for another horse.
and careful management and good
financial judgment produced results
sufficient to enable this hard-working
demonstration to make the second pay
ment on his place In the fall. This
was largely from receipts from butter,
chickens and eggs.
This is the account of the rest Of
the achievements, told by the county
agent: @Ei.
'The second year he bought a better
team and was enabled to cultivate his
crop In the better way as he ex-
pressed 1t. The second year he met
dhu uau oohC
plus funds left and was In position
to go on cash basis the next year.
The fourth payment on his farm was
met promptly and with larger sur
plus of money than before. Besides, he
had number of good cows, hogs and
horses, and flock of chickens and
turkeys. From this years work he had
sold $1,650 worth of cotton and seed,
marketed $72O worth of feed, besides
having enough on hand for farm use
next year, sold $40 worth Of poultry
and now has over 100 hens on the
farm. He has sufficient hogs for his
meat and will offer for sale about $500
worth besides.
"He has on the farm $500 worth of
horse stock, has some good milch cows
and has S1,250 on deposit to his credit
in the local bank. He Is erecting q lit
tie house and says that the farm and
its happy associations are good enough
for him. The vital point Of this story
of this farmers operations during the
past four years is that he has paid
for his farm, Is free from debt, and
has placed himself upon cash basis,
and has accumulated surplus while
a neighbor on an adjoining farm Of
$40 acres is barely making living"

Some Birds Generally Useful

It Is in their relation to insect
and other enemies to crops that
birds are most directly associ-
ated with the welfare of man. 1t
is not possible to give Nhard-and-
fast rule, applicable to the whole
country, as to whether any Ger
tain bird is beneficial or injuri-
Gus to farmers, but in the United
States department Of agricul-
ture's farmers bulletin $50,
"Some Common Birds Useful to
the Farmer" more than SO spe-
cies of birds common to farming
sections are discussed. The
birds treated In the bulletin are:
Bluebird, robin, ttmouse. wren,
brown thrasher, catbird, swal-
low, towhee, sparrow, house
finch, grackle, brewer blackbird,
Baltimore oriole, Bullock's ori-
ole, meadowlark, red-winged
blackbird, bobollnk, crow, blue
jay, Pacific Coast jay. phoebe.

er, cuckoo and bobwhite.

method of farming. Swine multiply
more rapidly than other farm animals
and make greater gains per hundred
pounds of concentrated feed con-
sumed.
AS consumer Of by-products the
hog has no rival.
Hogs might be kept profitably upon
a number Of farms where they are not
found today. AS general PROPOSE
tion, 1t is safer for the average farm
er to handle small number Of hogs
In connection with his other farm busi-
ness.
AS much feed as possible for hogs
should be raised on the farm; no more
feed than is absolutely necessary
should be purchased.
Hogs weighing from 200 to 300
pounds are In greatest demand on the
market, and usually the greatest prof
it is obtained from selling hogs at
these weights. The price realized de-
pends upon the kind Of carcass the
hog will yield.

MANY BIRDS ARE
USEFUL ON FARM
What It Eats Decides Whether
Feathered Songster Is Bene-
ficiaI or Injurious.
MANY FRIENDS OF FARMERS
Department of Agriculture Offers to
Tell AgricuIturist Whether Inhabi-
tants Of Fields Are Doing
More Good Than Harm.

Whether bird Is beneficial or in
furious to growing crops depends al
most entirely upon what 1t eats. If
1t consumes harmful insects the bird
Is an ally Of the farmer; If 1t feeds
largely on growing crops 1t may be
an enemy. Not all birds are bene-
fetal. but the useful kinds far out
number the injurious, and so great Is
their value as insect destroyers in the
United States that to them the United
States department of agriculture gives
credit of being one Of the greatest con-
trolling factors in limiting the devel-
opment Of insect pests and In prevent
Ing many disastrous outbreaks.
In the case Of species which are
abundant or which feed to some extent
on crops, the question of their aver
age diet becomes one Of supreme i'm
portance and only by stomach exami-
nations can it be satisfactorily solved.
Field observations have proved to be
inconclusive. Birds are often accused
Of eating this or that product Of cul-
tivation, when an examination Of the
stomachs shows the accusation to be
false.
Aid Offered to Farmers.
The biological survey Of the United
States department of agriculture has
conducted In the pasr few years sys-
tematic investigation of the food Of
the species most common about farms
and gardens and offers to supply infor-
nation to any farmer in doubt as to
whether his birds are an asset or a
liability.
Within certain limits birds eat the
kind Of food that is most accessible,
especially when their natural food Is
scarce or wanting. Thus they some
times injure the crops of the farmer
who has unintentionally destroyed
their natural food in his Improvement
of swamp or pasture. Much of the
damage done by birds and complained
of by farmers and fruit growers arises
from this very cause. The berry-bear-
ing shrubs and seed-bearing weeds
have been cleared away, and the birds
have no recourse but to attack the cul-
tivated grain or fruit which has re-
placed their natural food supply.
Destroy Many Insects.
The great majority of land birds
subsist upon insects during the period
of nesting and molting, and also feed
their young upon them during the first
few weeks. Many species live almost
entirely upon insects, taking vegetable
food only when other subsistence falls.
1t Is thus evident that In the course Of
year birds destroy an incalculable
number Of insects, and 1t is difficult to
overestimate the value of their serv-
ices in restraining the great tide Of In
sect life.
In winter, in the northern part of
the country, insects become scarce or
entirely disappear. Many species of
birds, however. remain during the cold
season and are able to maintain life
by eating vegetable food, as the seeds
Of weeds. Here again is another use
ful function of birds In destroying
these weed seeds and thereby lessen
Ing the growth of the next year.

Bull Assocla

The first bull association In the Uni.
ted States was organized In 1908 by
the Michigan Agricultural college. It
was a cooperative venture similar to
those which have existed in Europe for
a long time. On July 1. 1917, there
were in this country 80 active associa-
tions IN II states, with total MEM
bership Of 1,15S, owning 1So pure-bred
bulls. These cooperative organixa-
tions enable the owners Of small herds
to unite in the purchase Of one good
bull, 80 that each may own q share In

cured byI keeping the house shut up
tightly is not Jas desirable as lower
temperature and some ventilation. A
house which gives satisfaction in
Maine will also give good results in
Texas or California, but it is prefer
able to build more open and conse-
quently less expensive houses in the
South than in the North.
The back and sides of the poultry
houses should be absolutely tight in
order to prevent drafts which may
cause colds in the flock. This leaves
only the front of the house of muslin
construction or entirely open. An open
ing which can be closed by a shutter
may be used to advantage In the rear
wall Of q poultry house in the South,
or in growing houses In all parts of
this country, but this should be con-
structed SO that there will be no draft
in cold weather. The front of the
house should be so high that the win
dows or openings will allow the sun
to shine well back into the interior
"ihtCis ouiidPs
muslin or lightweight duck cloth may
be used for curtains in the front. This
cloth should be thin enough to allow
slow circulation Of air without a
draft. This is impossible If too heavy
grade of duck cloth is used or If the
cloth is oiled or painted.
For southern conditions, houses
with the fronts entirely open are well
adapted, and this type is used with
success in all sections of the United
States. They require less attention
than houses where the ventilation Is
controlled by the use of curtains or
windows, but in the northern half of
the United States the majority of
poultry keepers prefer to have part or
all of the front of their poultry houses
under control, in order to keep the
snow, rain and wind from beating in
to the house and to protect the poul-
try during the colder weather. If the
curtain is not attended to, however,
curtain-front houses may be less sat
isfactory than the open-front type
even in northern ATTITUDES.
A large amount of glass in the front
Of the house makes 1t warm during the
day but cold at night, as glass radiates
heat very rapidly. Some glass, how
ever, is helpful In providing light
when the curtains are closed. Some
ventilation should be given in poul-
try house even on the coldest night.
1t is usually best secured by leaving
a small window open or having muslin
curtains in the front of the house. II
the house is shut up tightly without
any muslin curtains in the front there
Is q tendency for moisture to collect
in the house and condense on the raft
ers and other woodwork on frosty
mornings. 1t is not necessary to close
the muslin curtains in the front of the
house except in very cold or stormy
weather. Hens are protected by ma
ture with warm feathers and high
body temperature, so that they are
better able to withstand dry, cold air
than warmer air which is damp.

RUSSIAN THISTLE Of VALUE

The Russian thistle, considered one
Of the most noxious weeds In New

stockmen In that section to be Of value
as stock feed. Some farmers In
Santa Fe county already have put up
large stncks Of from five to fifty tons
to be used for wintering stock this sea-

BLEACHED OATS
Are POOR SEED
Sulphur Process Brightens
Grains, but It Reduces Ger
minating Qualities.
PAY ATTENTION TO QUALITY
Same Amount Of Time, Labor and
Money Required to Sow Field,
Whether viabiIity High or Low
Buy Under Contract.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
In the purchase and selection Of
oats for seed farmers are warned to
be careful of grain that has been
bleached by the sulphur process. This
process is now used extensively by
commercial grain dealers to give oats
Of inferior quality bright, clean ap-
pearance. In experiments conducted
by the specialists of the United
States department Of agriculture, 1t
was found that in nearly every sam
pie of sulphur bleached oats there
was a great reduction in the germinat-
ing power. The largest reduction was
in a sample which terminated 97.5
Ier cent before treating and 9.5 per
cent after treating, or total reduc-
ton in termination Of SS per cent
caused by sulphuring.
Too much attention cannot be paid
to the quality Of seed for the same
amount of time, labor and money Is
required to sow a field of oats, wheth-
er the viabiiity Of the seed be high or
low, and the proiact will be influ-
enced directly by the percentage Of
termination of the seed. A casual
observer is probably more likely to
be misled as to the true quality Of oats
than Of any other grain for seeding
purposes, because oats that have been
sulphured present an attractive ap-
pearance: therefore special care must
be taken to ascertain whether this
appearance is due to bleaching by sui
phur or whether 1t is natural.
Feed Oats Not Good for Seed.
It is not an uncommon practice
throughout the smaller oat-growing
areas for farmers to use for seed,
oats that have been purchased for
feeding purposes, especially when
these oats appear to be of good quail
ity. Frequently very poor yields are
obtained from feed oats, because these
oats may have been sulphur bleached.
Seedmen generally buy their oats
under contracts, >stipulating that such
oats shall germinate not less than
specific percentage, and further that
they shall not be sulphur bleached.
This provision, Of course, safeguards
the farmer when he buys oats from a
scotsman who states that such oats
are suitable for seed. However, as
there is no general regulation govern
ing oats handling in intrastate trans
actions which requires that sulphured
oats are to be labeled as such, the
farmer generally is without protec-
tion and often sows oats that have
been sulphured.
Process Of Bleaching.
Two processes are in use in bleach
ing oats; known as the cold process
and the warm process, the only diff
ference being that in one case steam
is used to moisten the grain and In
the other cold water is used. AS the
moistened oats fall from the top of
tower they pass through sulphur
fumes which come in contact with
every kernel. After the oats have
passed through the bleaching tower
they are usually run in bin and al
lowed to stand over night when they
are cooled or dried as necessity may
require.
