Santa Claus was q little boy once

For various spring-sown crops,
especially grain, the United States
Department Of Agriculture has found
fall plowing q profitable operation in
many sections. AS an economic meas
ure. it prevents the piling up Of work
at critical period. Spring grain
usually tan be sown to advantage as
soon as the frost Is out and the ground
is dry enough to work, and it is to the
farmers advantage to have 1t in the
ground as early as practicable. The
greatest obstacle to early planting Is
getting the ground in shape. On
large operations. where either plow-
ing or seeding takes month, wait
ing for the man and horsepower to
finish blowing before 1t can be used
in seeding often means delay that Is
disastrous. If the ground Is plowed

Wild Garlic, Showing the Bulblets
That Are So Difficult to Remove
When Mixed With Wheat.

effect on the resulting odor than the
number Of bulblets. Those full Of
iuice contaminate flour more readily
than drier ones.
One of the serious results Of the
presence Of garlic In wheat is the
clogging Of the corrugations Of the
rolls in the mills so that they cannot
function properly. Under such con-
ditions 1t is sometimes necessary for
the mills to shut down two or three
times q day In order to scrape and
wash the rolls. This slows up the
work, reduces the output, and in
creases the cost Of production per
unit. There Is little demand for flour
made from garlicky wheat, therefore
mills have to discount 1t when 1t is
sold from 25 cents to 81 barrel. 1t
is used chiefly for blending with sweet
flours.
The difficulties Of removing garlic
bulblets from wheat suggest the i'm
portance Of It's eradication from the
fields whenever this IS possible. Wild
garlic forms two kinds Of underground
bulbs-soft-She and hard-shelled.
This fact has been used as a basis
for the recommendations Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for its eradica-
ton. The soft-shelled bulbs germinate
In the late summer or fall, while the
hard-shSlled bulbs form new plants
the following season. Late fall plow-
ing Is recommended to destroy the
plants from the soft-shelled bulbs be-
fore they form new bulbs.
Should Be Eradlcated From Fields.
The field should be planted to q
titled crop the following spring. Any
crop so planted should be carefully
titled, preferably with the knife or
sweep type of implement. This will
destroy the plants arising from the
hard-shelled bulbs. AS the hard bulbs
last two years 1t will be necessary to
repeat fall plowing, followed by an
other titled crop. Rye may be sown
after the late fall blowing and turned
under for green manure the following
spring.
Many farmers make a practice of
throwing weeds Of various sorts out
of the bundles at the time of shock
ing wheat. 1t has been found that
If the entire product Of the field is
removed from the land at harvest
time, great care taken in planting
only seed that is free from garlic and
other weeds, and proper crop rotation
practiced considerable progress in gar
lie eradication can be made within Il
few years. 1t is believed by depart
ment officials that if this is done il
will he possible in time to eliminate.
or at least greatly reduce, the garlic

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Because the presence Of garlic or
wild onion In wheat decreases lts
market value materially, special
study of the problem of marketing
wheat so tainted has been made oy
the bureau Of markets and crop esti-
mates, United States Department OF
Agriculture. The purpose OF the
study was to ascertain how such whea'
is purchased from producers, as re-
CARDS grades and price at the primary
grain markets Of Maryland, and the
effect, If any, on the producer.
The average garlic content OF Al
samples of Maryland wheat taken
from wagons, elevators, bins, and mills
was 20 bulblets to a pound. Miliers
were unanimous in saying that the
presence of garlic greatly decreases
the Nmilling value for number of rea-
sons, such as the greater risks from
spoilage, the extra cleaning and pre-
paration required for milling, the
lower flour yields, the greater cost Of
manufacturing, and the lower market
value Of the resultant flour.
BulbIets Vary in Size.
Garlic bulblets range in size from
that of q kernel Of wheat to that OF
pea seed. The specific gravity of the
bulblets is less than that Of the wheat
kernel, though 1t varies with the sea-
son and with the weather conditions.
The bulblets are heaviest at harvest
time, as later the moisture evaporates
and they lose weight. The greater
risk of spoilage in garlicky wheat Is
due to the Preventative or germinative
action in wheat started by the abb
sorption Of moisture from the garlic
bulblets. AS this Is slow process,
the danger of spoilage Is slight where
grain Is handled or moved frequently.
None Of the special cleaners for re-
moving the garlic Is entirely satisfac-
tory. Some Of them remove too small
q part Of the garlic. and some remove
too much wheat when removing the
garlic. 1t was noted that the con-
dition Of the bulblets had more Of an

Hiram was old, too old. He had

a number Of personal presents. He
always, for example, sent some Of the

those he knew would never buy them
