in the fall, when other work Is not
pressing, only disling or narrowing

Fall plowing serves valuable pur-
poses. 1t permits the ground to store
up moisture from winter SHOWS and
rains, and often dislodges eggs and
larvae of insect pests which had found
snug winter quarters in the soil, ex-
posing them so they will be killed
by the cold Stubble and other vege-
table matter left from the harvest. If
turned under in the fall, has many
more months to rot and become in.
corpOrated with the soil.
Whether to plow In the fall Is Of
course largely question of local con-
ditions and individual judgment. Sandy
soils, for Instance, may be rendered
liable to blowing If pOwed and left

number Of bulblets. Those full Of
juice cOntaminate flour more readily
than drier ones.
enc Of the serious results of the
presence Of garlic In wheat is the
clOggng of the cOrrugations of the
rolls in the mills SO that they cannot
function properly. Under such con-
ditlons it is sometimes necessary for
the mills to shut down two or three
times 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 garllcky wheat therefore
mills have to discount it when it is
sold from % cents to 81 a barrel. 1t
is used chiefly for blending with sweet
flours.
Should Be Eradicated From Fields.
The field should be planted to a
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

last two years it win be necessary tC

other titled crop. Rye may be sOwt

MANURE SPREAD OVER FIELD
Suns Rays Get at Every Part Of Il
When Scattered Evenly, Destroy.
ing Bacteria.

When manure is spread evenly over
the surface of field the suns rays get
at every part Of 1t. This is a factor
of much Importance, since sunlight Is
one Of bacteria's greatest enemies.
Through 1t they are either killed or
rendered dormant. Furthermore, the
waste begins to dry up-a fact which,
even without the action of sunlight,
would render the bacterial life mac
tive. Thus, the formation of ammonia
Is checked in short order as a result
of the breaking up of the conditions
which are favorable to bacterial life.
1t should be remembered in this con-
nectiOn that no loss ensues when ma
nure spread as thin layer over the
surface of field is permitted to dry
out. 1t loses nothing under such con-
ditions save moisture. If, while lying
in this fashion in field, 1t becomes
wet through rain or melting snow
nothing worse happens than washing
of the soluble portions directly into the
soil where it is desired they should go.
All possibility of further decay and
heating has been eliminated by the
simple process Of rearranglng the
waste from that of heap to that of d
thin layer spread over the surface.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Because the presence of garlic or
wild onion in wheat decreases its
market value materially, a special
study of the problem Of marketing
wheat so tainted has been made by
the bureau of markets and crop esu-
mates, United States Department OF
Agriculture. The purpose of the
study was to ascertain how such wheat
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 AZ
samples of Maryland wheat taken
from wagons, elevators, bins, and mills
was 40 hulblets TO pound Millers
we're unanimous IN saying that the
presence of garlic greatly decreases
the milling value for a number Of rea-
sons, such as the greater risks from
spoilage, the extra cleaning and pre-
paratiOn required for milling, the
lower -four yields, the greater cost Of
manufacturing and the lower market
value of the resultant flour.
Bublets Vary in Size.
Garlic bulblets range in size from
that Of kernel Of wheat to that of
pea seed. The specific gravity Of the
bulblets is less than that Of the wheat
kernel though it 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 alb
sorption of moisture from the garlic
bulblets. AS this Is slow process,
the danger of spolage 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
a part Of the garlic, and some remove
too much wheat when removing the
garlic. 1t was noted that the con-
dltion of the bulble:s had more Of an

BARLEY GOOD FEED FOR HOGS
Use Of This Grain for Pork Produc-
tion Has Increased in lmpor-
tance-ls Carbonaceous.

With the cessation of the extensive
mailing of barley, the use of this grain
for pork production has increased in
importance. According to the United
States Department of Agriculture, the
market price of barley per pound, as
compared with corn, has frequently
been less, and it has been found profit
able to convert it into pork. Whole
barley is not desirable as a stock feed
on account of the hardness Of the
grain. However, when the barley is
soaked or ground and soaked its feed
ing efficiency is greatly increased. AL
though barley contains little more
protein than corn, it is, primarily, a
carbonaceOus feed, and must be used
with a protein concentrate as sup.
plement. Generally, however, barley
is less satisfactory feed than corn
for fattening hogs. The rapldlty and
economy of gains from barley depend
largely upon Its quality.

For various spring-sOwn crops,
especially grain, the United States
Department Of Agriculture has found
fall plowlng profitable operation in
many sections. AS an economic meas
ure, 1t prevents the piling up of work
at a critical period. Spring grain
usually can 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 it 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 u month, wait

finish plowing before 1t can be used
