Test Seed Before Planting

Practically the only element in
crop production that the farmer has
completely under his own control is
the planting of good seed.
1t is important that farm seeds be
tested before they are sown. Other
wise, full crop can not be grown ev-
en- under the most favorable con-
ditions.
Seed testing for practical results,
says the United States Department
of Agriculture, can be done more ca
silly than is generally believed.
The essential preparation for MAX
ing seed tests consists of providing
the simple apparatus necessary and of
becoming familiar with the general
purposes and methods of testing and
the features of Importance peculiar
to tests of particular kinds of seeds.
Ask the county agent, or write the
Department of Agriculture for a bull

Adinst Crop Acreages

Are the crop acreages of the farm
adjusted to each other for highly pro-
fitable production?
The efficient adjustment Or organ
ization of the crop land will depend
on, says the United states Depart
ment of Agriculture, the acreage ne
cessary to supply the family and farm
needs; the economic importance of
enterprises adapted to the region,
particularly as to market demand and
the relation of prices to costs of pro-
duction and marketing; the seasonal
labor requirements of the enterpris-
es; the supply of labor and its cost;
the fertility of the soil; the topogra-
ply of the farm; and the size of the
farm.

Canning The Farm Produce.

1t is particularly desirable to can Oh
dry the fruits and vegetables raised
on the farm, as the raw products can
be gathered and treated when aDso-
lutely fresh and at just the proper
stage of ripeness and tenderness for
best results, says the United States
Department of Agriculture.
The average farm family probably
cans annually more than $50 quarts
of fruits and vegetables, the greater
part of which is fruit. Canning
clubs have been instrumental in sti-
mulating interest in canning ,on the
farm. The drying of fruits and veg
etables, an old farm art until recent
ly on the decline, has been revived
quite generally within the past two
years. This process offers a good
means of preserving pershables with
out entailing expense for containers,
as in canning.

April Crop Report.

The condition of wheat and rye in
Kentucky as whole is very poor,
and there are IS per cent fewer brood
sows in the State than there were
this time last year, according to the
April crop and livestock report for
Kentucky, issued jointly today at
Frankfort and Louisville by State
Commissioner of Agriculture w.
Hanna and H. F. Bryant, Kentucky
field Agent of the United States Bu-
reau of Crop Estimates. Wheat con-
dition in this State April i is given
as 60 per cent of normal, compared
to 1913 per cent April ]. 1919, and
an average condition of Sc per cent
April l during the last zen years. Rye
condition is "A this year Compared
to 100 last year and an average con-
dition of SO for the last ten years.
The acreage of wheat and rye SOW
ed in Kentucky last fall was very
much reduced from previous years,
especially in Western Kentucky.
This cut in acreage was followed by
rather uufavorable winter. resulting
in colsi l9rable heaviuy and frcez-
ing out, or by failure to get good
stand because of late saving

How To Shadow Turkey Hen To Her
Stolen Nest.

Given free range, turkey hens us
ually secrete their nests in obscure
places, such as patches of weeds, tall
grass, or bushy thickets, and often
wander a half-mile or more from
home before they find places that
suit them. To find these stolen"
nests is often long and tedious task,
the usual method being to follow each
turkey hen as she separates from the
flock and starts toward her nest, TAX
ing care that she does not know she
is observed. A much easier and
quicker method than this is to con-
fine the hens early some morning
soon after they have come down
from roost and let them out late in
the afternoon. Those that are lay
ing will then head straight for their
nests in order to lay the eggs they
have been holding.
If attractive nesting places are pre-
pared about the barnyard, turkey
hens sometimes lay in them. In the
North where the laying season often
begins while there is still snow on the
ground, they are more likely to select
their nests near home than is the
case in the South, as they do not
range far during cold weather.
Nests are easily made from boxes
or barrels, or by scooping out little
earth in the shape of shallow bowl
and piling brush around it to satisfy
the hens desire for seclusion. OF all
nests, however, the one most prefer
red by turkey hens is barrel laid
on its side and nest shaped in it
with straw or hay, according to u.

1t doesn't pay to grow low-grade
or scrub stock of any kind. This
statement is made by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
connection with a series of tests on
efficiency in farm management in the
South. On 2S9 dairy farms it was
found that AS farms receiving $50
and less income per COW and labor
incomes As per cent below the gen
eral average. On the other hand,
the 2S farms with receipts per COW
of more than $3.50 had labor in
comes 10 per cent above the average
and were the most profitable of the
group. The quality of the live stock
kept is one the 16 points outlined by
the department to be tested in deter
mining the efficiency of farm man
agement. Full information concern
ing the tests is embodied in new
circular of the department.

specialists. When only a few turkeys
are kept it is the usual custom to
allow them free range throughout the
breeding and laying season. If many
turkeys are kept, however, it is usual
ly found most convenient to use
breeding pens or Enclosures, in which
the turkeys are kept until they have
laid their eggs for the day, letting
them out late on each afternoon.
When confined to a breeding pen sew
eral turkey hens often lay in the
same nest, but on free range each
hen usually makes her own nest.

NeighbOrhOod Bulletin Boards As
Marketing Aids

A helpful marketing arrangement
is employed in certain sections of the
South which could be copied with
profit in many other parts of the
country. At some point in each
rural community, usually the school
house, a list of things that persons
in the community may have for sale.
and a list of commodities that people
in the community want to buy are
posted on a blackboard. If anything
remains unsold or any need is not
filled at the end of the week, a list
of these items is sent to the county
agent. By comparing the reports
from the different communities in the
county he can frequently bring buy
ers and sellers in different parts of
his county together. In case there
is anything that he can not dispose
of in this way he reports it to some
State agency which issues a week
ly or monthly bulltin of wanted"
and for sale" including, whenever
possible, not only inquiries from with
in its own State but also from neigh
boring States as well, and does all
that it can to bring buyer and seller
together.
