Helps to Unravel
Peat Land Problems

| An important step towards the So
luton of the great problem of re.
claiming Minnesota's 100000 acres
of peat soils, about one-eighth of the
surface of the state, has been taken
by the Minnesota Department of Agri-
culture in the publication of bulle-
tin on Agricultural Value and Re-
clamation of Minnesota's Peat Soils,
by F. j. Away, chief of the depart
ment division of soils.
The bulletin says frankly that many
misconceptions as to Minnesota's peat
lands and the methods of making
them productive have existed and that
as result great sums of money have
been spent in digging bitches on the
strength of the prevailing belief that
drainage alone would make such
lands productive. By such drainage
the land has often been made so dry
that they now produce little or no hay
whereas they were once useful for
that purpose. Furthermore, being
extremely dry, they sometimes be-
come seats of fires and sources of
great danger to settlers.
The author believes, on the basis of
European experience, that peat lands
are eminently adapted for tame mea-
dows and pastures, but are unpromis-
ing for forestry. He says they have
also been shown to be able to pro-
duce good crops of vegetables, forage

and grains where the climate permits.
The use of boys for agriculture tends
to hasten their development for indus
trial purposes, such as the manu-
facture of fuel, power gas, charcoal,
stable litter and even paper and tex
tiles.
Drainage, however, is the first es-
sential in retaining such soils, but
steps in this direction should be taken
with caution until those who wish to
develope the lands have satisfied
themselves by systematic investiga-
tons and small scale trials that re-
clamation will prove profitable.
The author further discusses the
desirability of burning the surface
layer on peat boys, the methods of
farming, required cost of reclamation
and the possibility of simple field
tests, along with many of the other
subordinate problems.

May Prevent Potato
Mosaic Disease

Irish potatoes, which decreases Yields
of affected potatoes 20 to so per cent,
and for which no satisfactory control
measures have been generally adopt
ed, now appears possible as a result
of a series of Investigations conducted
in Maine by specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station
The essential points are that mosaic
and from farm to farm by planting
potatoes from diseased hills. The
spread of mosaic in field is due
mainly to aphids or plant lice, which
feed upon mosaic plants and then up
on healthy ones. The potatoes thus
inoculated may show the disease very
soon, or it may not appear until the
following season, when the progeny
will mosaic. Mosaic may be spread
also by rubbing crushed leaves of dis
eased plants upon healthy ones, and
by injections of the juice of diseased
plants. 1t has not been spread by
the seed-cutting knife.
The percentage of diseased plants
in a field may not change greatly
from year to year, but the tendency
is for the mosaic to increase, particu-
larly when aphids are abundant. Seed
from hills that grew near mosaic hills
are more likely to yield mosaic pro-
geny, and more so if the parent hill
contains only two or three tubers, and
as the relative size of the tuber in the
parent hill is greater and as the seed
piece is nearer the bud end or is larp-
er.
The conclusions drawn from the ex-
periments are that the first essential
is to secure seed stock from fields en-
tirely free from mosaic, or as nearly
so as can be found. These potatoes
should be isolated from all fields
where mosaic occurs and every effort
should be made to prevent attack by
aphids. Thus far, Colorado beetles
and flea beetles have not been found
to transmit mosaic, nor does the dis
ease live over in the soil except in vol
unteer tubers.

WHAT MAKES 100
POUNDS OF MILK

A two-year study of the cost of milk
production undertaken comparatively
by the United States Dairy Division
and Purdue University, on a number
of dairy farms in northwestern India
ma, has resulted in figures on the re-
quirements for producing 100 pounds
of milk in winter and in summer To
give permanent value to the results,
these requirements were determined in
pounds of feed, hours of labor, ETC.,
and by substituting present costs and
values for the various items a farmer
can determine very closely what it
is costing him to produce 100 pounds
of milk at the present time
In the summer months the require
ment for 100 pounds of milk were as
follows: Concentrates, 20 pounds; dry
roughage, 27.4 pounds; silage and 9th
er succulent roughage, co. pounds;
hauling and grinding concentrates,
S0.014; pasture, 0.04 acre; human la
Dor, 2.2 hours; horse labor, OF hour;
overhead and other costs, $0393.
In the winter months the require
ments for production were: Concen-
trates, 1856 pounds; dry roughage,
66.8 pounds; silage and other succulent
roughage, 147.6 pounds; hauling and
grinding concentrates, 5000; bedding,
20.3 pounds; human labor, 25 hours;
horse labor, .03 hours; overhead and
other costs, S0.385.
1t has been generally believed that
the cost of producing milk was con-
siderably higher in winter than in
summer; and while this holds true as
far as the gross cost is concerned, the
figures obtained in this investigation
show that the net cost of producing
100 pounds of milk from November to
April was only 1.8per cent higher
than the cost from May to October, in
elusive, and that the total cost varied
only slightly from month to month
within each of these seasons This
small difference between net costs of
production during winter and summer
is largely due to the greater credit al
lowed for manure during the winter
season.
The price received for the milk,
however, fluctuated sharply from
month to month.
Further details on requirements for
milk production, including such fac
tors as cost of keeping COW for one
year, cost of keeping bull, proportion
of work performed by each class of
labor, percentage relation of various
factors in the cost of production, and
other details, are presented in Depart !.
ment Bulletin 858, Requirements and
