Crimean wheat selected at the Kan
sas agricultural experiment station ten
years ago, from which source 1t Is es-
timated that 100000 acres were har-
vested in 1921.
"Kanred Wheat" Is the title Of De-
partment Circular 1914, just issued by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. Kanrcd Is a hard red win
ter wheat very similar to Turkey. 1t
is bearded and has hairless white chaff.
The superior yields of the Kanred va
riety in northern and northwestern
Kansas, eastern Colorado. southwest
ern Wyoming and in Nebraska and
South Dakota appear to have been due
largely to its resistance to rust and
to winter killing.
Kanred wheat may be grown with
success wherever other hard-wnter
wheats are grown and should partly
replace the Turkey and Kharkof va
rieties now widely grown. 1t shows
no special advantage In the northern
great plains and the Pacific north
west. 1t cannot compete with the soft
winter wheat varieties grown on the
lower lands and the richer soils Of
eastern Kansas or the eastern United
States, and is not winter hardy
enough to replace spring wheat in
northern plains. Wherever Turkey or
Kharkof hard-winter wheatS are
grown, however, the Kanred can be
grown with equal chances of success.
In milling and baking experiments
Kanred has compared favorably with
other hard red winter wheats. For
successful growing pure seed is nee
essary, and because Of similarity OF
| the seed to other varieties certifica-
ton has been found essential. This
certiication is made by the Kansas
Crop Improvement association with
the cooperation of the Kansas agri-
cultural experiment station.

PROPER HOUSING

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
A farm implement that is laid by in
bad condition at the end Of the sea-
son is pretty likely to be found in the
same shape, probably worse, in the
spring, when the time comes for using
it again. Unfortunately there's no
magic that heals broken parts over
winter, repairing the wear and tear
Of one season and bringing forth a
bright, sound tool ready for instant
work next year.
Delays in Repairs Are Costly.
ThOughtlessness in the handling,
care and repair Of farm implements
results annually in the loss to farmers
of thousands of dollars and much time
at a season when time is most valu-
able. The proper time for overhaul
ing farm implements Is during their
period of inactivity and before the
spring rush, when farm work is press
ing and delays are costly. If put off
until the implement is needed delay

ton of the past seasons difficulties
with the tool or machine may hinder
greatly.
At the end Of the seasons work with
any machine 1t is plan worth while
to make out schedule of needed re-
pairs and adjustments for that par
ticular machine, and file it In a CON
Venient place, so that when an OPP
portunity arises the work can be TAX
en- up and done quickly and thorough
ly. The machine itself represents
capital invested. 1t should be housed
properly, and not left in a fence cor
ner or other out-of-the-way place for
wooden parts to rot and metal parts
to rust
Probably no implement used on the
farm receives a greater amount Of

SPREAD OLD STRAW ON LAND
Considerable Fertility Can Be OBJ.
Notwithstanding Of Wheat
Is Prevented.

Farmers who have old stack bot
toms on their farms should put this
straw in manure spreader and put 1t
on the land. Considerable fertility
can be returned by this means, and at
the same time an eyesore can be elm
mated from the farm yard. BY plac-
ing racks on the sides Of the manure
spreader much straw can be hauled at
load. Where this straw is wet, OF
course, the rack will not be needed
New straw that will not be used for
feed could be placed on the winter
wheat, and this will furnish a good
covering and make good fertilizer
One farmer last winter reported that
the use of straw prevented winter
killing.

FRESH GARBAGE SAVES COST
II Carefully Selected and Kept Free
. OF Broken Glass and Tin 80 Per

A practical manner of reducing the
production costs of market eggs con-
sists in feeding fresh garbage placed
before the flock as soon as possible
after 1t has been rejected from the
table. Used judiciously 1t will reduce
the cost of egg and meat production
from 20 to 30 per cent. The garbage
must be fresh and free from all fer
mentation and sourness. The intrinsic
value of garbage as poultry feed Is
due to the fact that 1t provides a
varied ration which fits all the needs
and requirements Of the flock.
One explanation of why the small
flock owner, with his backyard bevy
of hens, secures heavy production of

eggs hinges around the fact that he
emphasizes the use of table scraps in
the ration. Similar results obtain
where large commercial flocks are
given access to daily allowances Of
sanitary, well-selected and paatable
garbage. Although the character Of
garbage varies throughout the year,
due to the fact that more succulent
vegetables and fruits are used during
the summer, this refuse is also a val
liable substitute for costly grains and
concentrates In the hen menu.
Unfortunate results which In some
instances have followed the use of
garbage are due to feeding mixture
If table scraps that was not carefully
selected Hens like fresh garbage, but
are not able to digest scraps of tin,
monograph needles and similar for
eign material. Unless such substances
are separated from the garbage, dis
4strOus results Invariably follow and
!Ae pOultryman soon abandOns gar
oage feeding and condemns it as I'M
satisfactory. The Department of Ag-
Tculture recommends that fresh gar
3age be run through q meat or vege'
table chopper, and mixed with little
ground feed before it is fed to the
fowls.
AS much of the table refuse should
be fed as the flock will clean up with
q relish in the course of an hour. All
feed which the birds reject should be
removed from the feeding pens or
yards as soon as possible thereafter.
Otherwise, 1t sours and communicates
ahe premises and subsequently, if the
fowls eat it it invariably causes d.
sestive troubles.
Where garbage ia fed, it is also pre-
sequisite to provide a light ration Of
grain twice daily, as well as to supply
dry mash In hopper before the flock.
As rule fable scraps are rich in pro-
rein and only occa sionally is it neces-
anry to supplement the mash with ap-
proximately per cent of meat meal.
During the summer garbage decom-
2Oses and ferments quickly and it
must be fed before it reaches this
stage. The feeding Of garbage is ia
gored during cold weather because In
The winter the refuse keeps better.
Suburban flock-Owners may often Sc
cure the garbage from neighboring
families who do not keep hens. This
source Of feed may be so plentiful that
the flock can expand his hen
keeping operations and even afford to
pay small amount for the garbage.
Experiments In feeding garbage at
the government experiment farm at
Beltsville, Md, indicate that ten hens
will consume about one quart Of gar
bage daily. A suitable dry mash as
supplement to this garbage consists
Of three parts by weight Of cornmeal,
one part of braE, one part of mid
dlings and per cent of meat scraps.
This mash is kept before the fowls all
the time. If the table scraps contain
much fruit and vegetable Feelings,
more mash should be added, while II
the garbage consists chiefly of potato
Feelings, bread and meat less mash
should be used. Care should be exer-
cised to drain off s0apy water or ex-
cess liquid from the garbage.
