WEEDS REDUCE PASTURE
VIA. VAUJTE

Weeds in Iowa pastures reduce their
efficiency sometimes as much as 80 per
cent. That is not a mere guess, but q
statement based on careful investiga-
ton of a good many pastures in the
state by Dr. l.. H. Pammel of Iowa
State college. In some localities Dir.
Pammel found less than A per cent of
the growth in clean, NEEDLESS grass.
While the remainder of the growth Was
hoary vervain, prickly lettuce, small
rag weed, greater rag weed and colder
rod. In other locations there We're few
err weeds, but still from Is to so per
cent
it to produce so many Weeds says
Dr. Pammel. 1.-The annual loss on
weed account is heavy in Iowa. The
best remedy for the trouble is to use
the pasture in q rotation system in or.
der to destroy the weeds by cultivation.
If ground is to be left in grass, then
weed seed formation should be prevent.
ed. This can be done by cutting the
weeds close to the ground with a NOV
er at blooming time and, if necessary
repeating the operation"

SWEET CREAM IS IN


Dairy farmers of Iowa could realize
a considerable additional income or
their milk if they marketed sweet cream
Instead of sour, according to NJ Nor
Jensen, head of the dairy department
Of Iowa State college.
Many Iowa creameries says PROBES
sor Mortensen, have found that they
can market sweet cream for a better
price than they can realize on butter
made from sour cream The rapid in.
crease of the ice cream business has
made a heavy demand for sweet cream
Some of the creameries in Iowa thai
are marketing their products in the
form of sweet cream are the cooper.

gona. Manley, Manchester and severa
other places.
''As "a result of this system" de-
clares Mr.. Mortensen, these creamer
les have increased their ptronage ma
terially for the producers realize that
they are obtaining a better price for
their product than under the old plan
of marketing.
Manufacturers are now selling
cream cooling tanks for farms which
can be placed between the water pump
and the stock watering tank. The
cream, Immediately after it has been
SKINNED. is placed in this cooling tank
in a separate container. 1t is mixed
with cream from previous skimmings
only after it has been thoroughly
cooled.
"Byt this system it is possible to keer
the cream sweet for several days and
the farmers producing such cream arc
able to realize q premium of 3 cents OF
more per pound Of butter for their
cream"
CREAM Production AT HIGH
n POINT
According to reports coming from
large packing centers, receipts Of live
poultry are heavier, but prices show
little change on account of the fact that
storage stocks ofsSpoultry have been
much reduced There is a good demand
from the consuming trade. Young
chickens are being marketed in jncreas
ing numbers, hut unless there is some
immediate change in the situation
prices will be well sustained until after
the 4th of July.
More eggs are being produced than
are required for current consumption.
Due to hot weather and generally poor,
err quality, there is a tendency toward
slightly lower prices.
Deliveries of cream during the week
have shown some increase and produc

FIRM TONE IN THE COTTON MARKET IS
 MARKED AT CLOSE

New York, Feb. 17.--Early irregu- larity was followed by decidedly firmer tone in the cotton market today owing to reports of a slightly improved demand and the better late ruling of the stock market. May contracts closed at 34.65 with the general list closing steady at net advance of to 60 points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of points to decline of 3 points and active months sold low CT right after the call under realiz- ing and scattering local or Wall street pressure. Cables were better than due, however, while Liverpool was an active buyer here and there were few scattering reports from the South suggesting a renewed in terest on the part of exporters. These features led to covering on which the market soon turned firmer, with prices reaching the best levels oI the day in the late trading. Easier call money rates probably accounted for some of the Wall street buying, while there was also a good demand from the trade and New Orleans. Pri- vate cables reported trade buying ol old crops in Liverpool to fix prlces for Manchester spInners and contIn- ental buying of new crop months There was some selling believed to be for spot house account during the early trading but no indication of spot pressure otherwise. Exports A. sos bales making 4,113,4S0 50 far tnis season. Port receipts 22,755; United States port stocks l,45O,158.

 It was bear day in the corn mar ket from start to finish. Quotations failed to respond to bullish news ot any character. The pit gave atten' |tion chiefly to breaks in the hog
