Wheat Disease in Grant County

Grant County Herald:
thosporium is not tooth paste nor
the name of a new breakfast food.
1t is the name of new wheat and bar
ley disease that has appeared in GER
tain parts of the United States.
Only four cases have been dis
covered in the state of Minnesota, one
of these in Grant county west of
Wendell. When signs of the disease
appeared in the wheat, the owner
consulted L. M. Bond, the county
agent. The symptoms resembled those
Of helminthosporium, and he had two
plant specialists from the University
of Minnesota examine the infected
field. They confirmed his suspicious.
It is one of the most destructive
of the various grain enemies, in most
cases completely destroying the crops
1t is prevalent in various sections of
Europe, but until recently it has
never made it's appearance in this
country. No remedy for it has been
discovered, and the only effective
method of stopping it's ravages is to
prevent it's spread. It lives in the
same soil for a long period of years,
and it is unsafe to plant wheat or
barley on infected soil. 1t is spread
by the use of infected seed.
The symptoms are holes which ap-
pear through the root stalk just be-
low the crown. The white roots of
the grain turn brown and the leaves
Of the plant turn brown and wither
away. It appears in brown spots on

mixture for the seIf-feeder for pigs
up to three months old is so per cent
shorts, 40 per cent ground barley
and 10 per cent tankage. After they
are three months old less mill feeds
can be used. 60 per cent ground
barley, 80 per cent ground oats and
10 per cent tankage is a good ra-
ton. Each Of these feeds may be
put in separate compartments. They
can be mixed in the above proper
tions before putting in the self-feed-
er.
Hogs eat more grain per day with
the self-feeder but gain much faster
and make cheaper gains. Any one
wishing good plans for making a
self-feeder should write or call the
Farm Bureau office. A self-feeder
twelve feet long is sufficient for
forty hogs.
Animals keep in better health and
have stronger bones when fed some
mineral matter. A good mineral
mixture to keep before the hogs all
the time is:
Two bushels Of wood ashes or
charcoal.
One peck of air-slacked lime.
One peck of salt.
Two pounds of sulphur.
Two pounds of copperas.
WHERE TO GET TANKAGE
Through the efforts of the Farm
Bureau, H. o. Eames of Morris, has
agreed to cooperate in handling tank
age for the farmers at a small margin
Of profit. If taken from the car he
will ask only per cent above cost.
If taken from the warehouse within
80 days, 10 per cent above cost. He
has a small amount on hand which
he will sell at 5 per cent above pres
ent cost. No doubt, similar ar
rangement can be made with the
farmers elevators of the villages OF
the county if there is sufficient de
mand. While tankage is very high
in price it is a comparatively cheap
source of protein because of it's high
protein percentage. Let every one
give it a good trial and be convinced.

FEEDING OF PIGS
In these Gays Of high cost of feed
and high priced pork it is important
to use the best methods Of feeding
possible. The results of experiments
show that the use of the self-feeder,
good pasture and mineral feed is the
best means of securing profits
The self-feeder for hogs is success
full because it lessons the labor cost
of feeding, it enables the hog to have
as much grain all the time as it
wants and because, if the grains are
fed in separate compartments, it
gives the hog a chance to select the
kind Of feed it needs The self-feed-

GOVERNMENT INSISTS
ON PURE MILK SUPPLY
Present Prices Preclude Any Elk.
cuse for the Polluted or Dilu-
ted Variety-Eight Cases
Pending Against Boston Deal.
ers-Producers Are Warned

The United States government Is step
ping into the business of seeing to 1t that
the public gets a pure supply of milk and
at the present time conditions are being
pretty carefully Investigated about YER
mont. with the result that at least eight
cases are pending against Boston dealers.
and some producers or farmers are likely
to get into trouble over the business
The prosecutions will be made under
the pure food and drug act. The actions
are all against concerns which have been
getting large quantities of milk In YER
mont. The prosecutions are at the
instigation and recommendation Of the
agricultural department. All the prosecu-
tions are for transporting In interstate
commerce polluted milk, and milk said to
he filthy and containing decomposed ami
NAL matter, all Of which arises from the
bacteria in the milk. In some cases the
bacteria count was said to be 100000 per
cubic centimeter when the number
allowed Is only 100000.
This condition must come from one Of
two sources. 1t IL either the fault Of the
producer or farmer. or the handler or
1obber. The shippers lay all the blame on
to the farmer. The analysis has not yet
been made on the milk taken because the
chemists are in France. but this will be
done as soon as possible. The science has
got down to such fine point that not
only can the number Of bacteria he ascer-
tanned but to a large extent 1t can be
learned where the dirt came from. For
instance. there are certain bacteria which
can only come from the COW and by
learning what the bacteria are. It is
easy in some cases to fix the blame. In
addition to the prosecution for dirt, one
concern will be prosecuted for dilutins
milk
With the price of milk up where 1t is.
the government officials are determined
that people shall get what they pay for.
Some one is pretty careless. and in the
opinion Of some the reason that the job
bers in Boston have stopped taking milk
from certain section Of the State is
not that the market is glutted at this
time when milk is not over plentiful as
a rule. 1t looks to some people as though
the jobbers were afraid to take chances
on the Vermont product from the part
Of the State where the have cut off their
business connections. 1t Is not unlikely
that some farmers will be prosecuted
soon on the same charge as the shippers
for the government people will go to the
bottom Of 1t.

THE sEvENTEEN-YEAR LOCUST
(From the Boston Transcript

''''''ii
The entomologists of the State Agricul-
tural College predict a record breaking
visitation of the seventeenyear locust
this year-a record-breaking visitation
in some other States. but not in Mass
achusetts. This cicada is indeed sche-
duled for appearance in Massachusetts in
the federal reports. but only for Bristol
County; and even Bristol County may
derive comfort from the fact that in the
year 1902. which was the parent year of
this brood. none were found in the
county. The only large and highly dan
gerous brood known in the State is the
one which is due in 1923 in Plymouth and
Barnstabe Counties And even by the
parent brood of this lot. which was ex-
tremely numerous in the year 1913. no
very serious damage was done.
The popular superstitions about the
seventeen-year locust, indeed. are a
great deal worse than reality. The same
sort of countryman who will relate his
personal experiences with the hoopsnake.
and who believes in the malevolent in
huence of the moon. will tell you Of
deaths resulting from the sting of this
locust. His belief in the stories will not
be in the least shaken by the fact that
the cicada has sting. Many people
also believe that the appearance OF the
seventeen-year locust is sure sign of
war. Perhaps that is true, since this
locust appears somewhere every year.
and there Is always war in some corner
of the world. In this years case, how
ever. the locust comes on the heels Of a
great war and not in advance of 1t; and
the same was true of the somewhat
notable visitation of the locust in some
parts of the country in 1906.
If the bark of certain dogs is worse
than their bite. the weird, descending,
grating chorus-chant of the seventeen
year locust. filling all the air and making
life a burden. is worse than his actual
devastations. Few people have ever
gone hungry on account of the devasta-
ton he has wrought. The injury which
he inf1icts is most serious in the case Of
fruit trees in the new growth of which
the female deposits her eggs. The
younger the tree the worse it suffers.
Whether or not he Is a prophet of war
the seventeen-year locust yields to intel
ligent war against him. A kerosene
emulsion. or that Protean insect dis
courager. the Bordeaux mixture, will, if
applied at the time of his emergence
from the ground. turn his drive as eff
fectively as Marshal Foch turned that of
the German brood on the Marine
