NORTHWEST STATION SUM-
MARIZES WORK.

The pure seed work of the Northwest
School Of Agriculture and Experiment
Station at Crookston has steadily in
creased until the number of co-opera-
tors is approaching $50, one of whom
reported a yield of S6.3 bushels per
acre Of Minnesota 295 oats. On a ma
jority Of the plots the yields from sta
homegrown seeds were far above those
of like grain sown under the same con-
aitions. Tests have been made Of a
great variety Of farm crops. Mindum
40, formerly known as Minnesota 951,
leads in the seven-year wheat test.
Marquis and Kubanka strain are sec-
ond. Of the common wheat, Marquis
has yielded the hi CHEST. The two
rowed varieties Of barley yielded
equally as well as the six-rowed. Tests
of rye demonstrated the superiority of
Minnesota No. 2. Potato investiga-
tions have been carried on extensively.
OF the early kinds the Early Ohio has
made the best performance. The Irish
Cobbler has returned satisfactory
yields. The Green Mountain type of
late white potato made the most salts
factory showing through the six years
Of tests to which late varieties have
been subjected. The livestock of the
station is being converted.

GOOD TREATMENT OF THE BEEF
CALF PAYS.

w. H. Peters, professor of animal
husbandry at University Farm, empha'
sizes the fact that the most profitable
beef animal is the one that has the ca
pacity to eat and manufacture into
beef the greatest amount Of feed, and
not the one that can .subsist on the
least and poorest ration.
"There are thousands of two and
three years old beef cattle that can eat
plenty of food,' he says, "but many of
them are not able to manufacture much
beef out of it, largely because their
growth was stunted, their vitality
Weakened, and their beefy conformation
lost throu gh lack of proper and suffci-
ent feed when they were calves.'
Present high prices for cattle and
feed, says Mr.. Peters, make it more
clear than ever before that there are
two ways Of securing profit from
beef cattle. One Of the two sources
of profit, he explains, is through the
production of a good well grown beefy
type Of animal that will attract atten-
ton and consequent high price when
it reaches the market. The other
source of profit is by keeping down the
cost of production to the lowest min
imum consistent with full development.
"Sources Of profit may be influence
ed adversely or advantageously accord
ing as the beef calf is treated,'' says
Nh. Peters.

ARE CANKER WORMS SPREAD
BY AUTOS?

Canker worms, which for several
years have been doing much mischief
around Minnetonka and the twin cities,
are especially numerous this year and
are getting into other parts of the
state. A. G. Ruggles, State entomolo-
gist, at University Farm, says he be-
lieves the canker worms are joy riders
and ares pread over the state by auto
mobiles. He says they probably drop
on vehicles as they pass along coun-
try roads, "beat their way' to some
new location, drop off on the ground,
dig in'' and then come forth the fol-
lowing spring to climb some nearby
tree, lay their eggs and hatch a brood
to attack the foliage.
The best method Of resisting the
pest, says Mr.. Ruggles, is the applica-
ton of tanglefoot, a commercial pro
duct, applied to the trees in belt,
which prevents the worms from climb
ing the trunks. Spraying with ARISEN.
ate of lead, one pound to SO gallons OF
water, if the spraying is done early, is
also advised by Mr.. Ruggles as com,
munity plan. It hardly pays one person
alone to spray.

lBROWN FRUIT CHAFER ATTACKS
SWEET CORN.

! Growers Of sweet corn are having
unusual trouble from the attacks Of the
brown fruit chatter which feeds upon
the corn in the milk. These insects
says DR.. w. A. Riley of the division of
entomology, University Farm, are
clumsy, chunky beetles about half an
inch in length and much the build of
the ordinary June beetle. They are
somewhat hairy, yellowish brown in
color, with numerous irregular black
markings.
"Unlike the June beetles, the brown
fruit chafers,' says DR.. Riley, do
their injury in the beetle stage rather
than as grubs. They feed on pollen of
flowers, various ripe fruits, and less
commonly are noted for their attacks
on maturing corn. When abundant,
as many as a dozen beetles may be
found hidden under the shuck greedily
devouring the grains.
"Since they are active and are well
protected as they feed, ordinary spray
ing methods do not greatly disturb
them. In garden plots they can best be
controlled by hand picking. Fortu-
nately they are not expected to appear
in excessive numbers next season."

FARMER COMPARES LANDLORD
TYPES,

William L. Cavert, farm management
extension division specialist, Universe
ty Farm, cites an incident which illus
trates the difference between farm
landlords and also emphasizes the ben
efts Of the "square deal' in the rela-
ton of landlord and tenant. At a re-
cent meeting of landlords, held under
the auspices of the Rock County Farm
Bureau, retired farmer, who had
started as tenant, but who later
bought and paid for a fine farm which
he now rents, said:
"As a tenant rented from two very
different landlords. First I moved up
on rundown farm. The buildings
leaked the fields were infested with
quack grass and thistles and there
were practically no fences. I took hold
with energy and succeeded in raising a
good crop for the landlord and myself.
| then asked the landlord to single
the barn, but he refused and told me
if 1 didn't want the farm as it was
there were others who did. That land
lord had a new tenant that year and l
had a new landlord.
II rented Of my new landlord for
nine years and l owe much Of my sue
cess as a farmer to him for he gave
me many valuable suggestions. He re-
paired buildings and fences as needed,
and furnished grass seed in sufficient
quantity to provide tame hay and pas
ture. I gladly did my part to prevent
unnecessary depreciation and to keep
the weeds down. The landlord and
myself secured good returns and I left
the farm in better condition than I had

RYE EASILY MIXED; SEPARATE
FIELDS

With the increased demand for pure
and pedigreed seed it is worth while to
give careful consideration to the selec-
ton of fields. Growers Of Minnesota
No. rye or other, pedigreed and
standard varieties should bear in mind
that if the purity of the variety is to
be maintained it should be planted not
less than ten rods from any other kind
of rye. There will be some slight mix
ture at the ten rod distance, says G.
P. Bull, associate agronomist and secre-
tary Of the Minnesota Crop Improves
ment association. At twenty rods, he
says, there is no probability of mixing.
Rive crosses the same as does corn. The
pollen from one plant fertilizes the
flower of the other plant in the same
fashion that the pollen from a yellow
corn may fertilize and thereby mix the
seed Of a white corn. Rye is probably
so per cent cross pollinated in this
cent being self fortified in the same
manner as wheat, barley, oats and
fax. <...

HOW TO SAVE SUGAR IN MAKING
IEI,I,1ES :.

A second extraction of fruit juices
for jelly making is recommended in this
time of high priced sugar by specialists
Of the u. s. department of agriculture.
One cup Of water should be added to
each pound Of pulp, the mixture being
cooked 20 minutes and dripped Sec
ond time and subjected to some pres
sure at the last. The juices from the
two extractions may be combined to
advantage before sweetening. Good
iellies may also be made with one-half
CUP of sugar to one cup of juice, but
tho yield, Of course, will be less. One
half Of the sweetening may be glu-
cose or sorghum syrup, and if the other
hall. is graduated sugar there will be
little noticeable difference. A. good
iellvl can be made from grapes with
Glucose or corn syrup even when no
sugar u used. .s .ss =.

SEED POTATO PLOTS INCREASE
YIELDS

Select seed potatoes now for the seed
plot is the advice Of A. G. Tolaas, po-
| tato specialist Of the extension division
of the state college of agriculture. Mr..
Tolaas contends that every grower who
is interested in producing good potatoes
should maintain a seed plot every year.
''This plot should be given the best
Of care,' he says, "and when digging
time comes the"t4bers to be used for
next years seed plot should be care
fully hill selected. Seed should be Sc
lected from good yielding hills produc-
ing uniform types, rather than from
hills containing tubers of various sizes
and shapes and low yield. It is best
to dig enough good hills by hand to OBJ
tain enough seed potatoes for next
years seed plot before the entire plot
is dug. The seed plot tubers so select
ed should be put away in barrels or
crates and stored in cool well ventil-
ated place so that the potatoes will be
in the best possible condition the fol-
lowing spring. .
@T6e advantages of such SELECTION"
he continues, care that the varietal
characteristics will be maintained, the
yield of the particular strain will be in
creased and the quality improved. The
remainder of the seed plot should be
dug separately from the rest Of the
field, the potatoes being carefully sort
ed and stored separately from the field
grown stock as seed for the general
field the succeeding year.
eff you haven't been in the habit of
growing a seed plot, try selecting seed
potatoes for 1920 seed plot now. It

J, MARKET SEEN FOR BELGIAN
- HARE MEAT.

a profitable market for the meat Of
the Belgian hares or allied breeds can
be created in the northwest, in the
opinion Of F. =. Washburn Of the divi-
sion of entomology and economic zool-
|ogy at the Minnesota college of agri-
culture. In California, growers are
paid rs cents pound live weight at
the rabbitries; retail prices range
around 30sand 40 cents.
"Unwarranted prejudice against the
hare as table meat can be overcome by
education and demonstration, says
Mr.. Washburn. "The white meat Of
the Belgian hare is practically as deli
cate as chicken and is edible in the hot
test months as well as in the fall and
winter. Under farm conditions, Flem-
ish giants, Belgian and New Zealand
red hares can be raised for the markets
for six or eight cents pound. AS a
matter Of fact, hares born in May and
fit for the table in September can be
fed with garden waste at virtually no
expense whatever Mr.. Washburn
finds that the first demand for this
cheap meat is appearing in the north
west and says that if breeders will be
content with small profits at first and
will push the market later on, prices
approaching or even equaling those on
the Pacific coast can be obtained.
Copies of Bulletin No. 81, "Belgian
Hares as Meat Producers by Mr.
Washburn, may be had by addressing
Office of Publications, University
Farm, st. Paul. He advises prospec-
tive purchasers of stock not to buy an

SEALING THE sILo DISCUSSED
nv RECKLESS

Several methods Of sealing the silo
after it has been filed have justified
their USE What is wanted is a heavy
blanket of material on top as near air
tight as. possible. ~.
7!Sometimes weeds or heavy green
grass are run through the cutter as a
finishing layer" says G.. H. Eckles,
chief Of the dairy husbandry division,
University Farm. 'Some prefer to
Jerk the ears from the last two or three
loads of corn used so no grain is lost,
and allow the corn itself to make the
air tieht layer needed to preserve the
silage below. At any rate, it is good
practice to tramp the silage around the
edges at intervals of three or four days
for about two weeks. This helps to
prevent the settling away from the wall
which often occurs.
"Spoiling at the surface may be pre-
vented entirely by covering the top OF
silage when filing is completed with
a layer of tar paper cut to fit snugly
around the walls and overlapping be-
tween the strips. If this is used, it is
advisable to weight it with some green
material of some kind or with boards
Most farmers, however, think the use
of corn itself with the ears removed
and with proper tramping is more econ
omical than the use of paper.
In filing the silo the usual recon-
mendation is to keep the surface high
er at the sides than in the center and
to do most Of the tramping near the
wall. This practice is correct, but it is
well to modify it by changing the form
of the surface as the top is approached.
The last two feet had best be kept
about level with the same amount Of
