no reason why self feeders in the
poultry yards should be allowed to go
empty until fall says J. L. Gordon,
poultry extension specialist at Iowa
State college. ., g
While visiting 40 farm flocks in
Iowa last year Mr.. Gordon found that
in practically every case where egg
production was high, self feeders were
in use. Corn and oats are most COM
monty used in self feeders for poultry.
Green feeds in the summer will take
the place Of tankagc to large ex-
tent, The following ration is recon-
mended: 200 pounds of ground corn,
100 pounds of oats and from % to 30
pounds of tankage.
1t has been noticed that where self
feeders are employed birds lay in the
poultry house, if accommodations there
are adequate, or more close to the
house.

Potato Bug Outbreak.

The most serious outbreak of the
Colorado beetle, the ordinary potato
bug. which has been found for many
years, is attacking the potato crop in
the northern part Of the state. accord
ing to word given out by the horticul
tural department ut Iowa State col
lege. ,"-.f+
An examination Of 80 acre field
Of potatoes showed that from one-half
to three fOurths of the vines were at
tackled, which means damage OF
from 10 to Is per cent Of the crop.
The pests are being treated with q
spray OF two to three pounds Of lead
arsenate to 70 gallons OF water or the
same formula with paris green substi
tutcd for the lead arsenate.
In Mitchell county the potatoes were
found to be hit by pip bssrn, a burning

caused by the potato leaf hopper. Elk

Ont Smut Breaks Out.

The Oat crop in Iowa will not &c,
through without more or less trouble
this year, according to plant patholo
gists ut Iowa State college. Smut has
broken out in the southern and north
eastern part of the state.
The situation Is not serious but IN
many fields as much as 20 per cent OF
the stalks have been attacked. The
ma jOrity of bad cases are due to early
sowing. Owners Of fields which are
infected are urged by the pathologists
to avoid the use Of seed from such /,
crop for next year.
In the north-ccntral part of Iowa
the red rust stage OF left rust is dc
velOping rapidly and is much more
prevalent than it has been in previous
years, but there is no danger from
black stem rust, the disease which
causes the greatest damage.
Many questions have been received
by. the plant pathology section of the
agricultural experiment station with
regard to oats blast, condition in
which the lower part Of the head fails
to fill. The glumes, the part which,
later becomes chaff, turn white early
in the season and fall away, tending
to make the head short.
Oats blast is not a parasitic disease
but is induced by excessively warm
weather and adverse soil conditions
The prevalence of oats blast is not Il
sign that the oat crop will be short
says the plant pathology department

Can sim Plant B,,ckwl,eat.

Where early season crops have failed
or where it has been impossible to
plant regular rotation crops on ac-
count Of unfavorable weather condi-
tions it is not too late for Iowa farm
ers to SOW buckwheat, according to
the farm crops department uf Iowa
State college.
Buckwheat may be sOwn during the
last weeks of June or the first two
weeks Of July. Late seeding Is
recommended by the department be-
cause with early seeding there is dams
ger Of loss from the blasting Of large
proportion Of the blossoms in hot
weather.
Seed beds for the crop should be pre-
pared as thoroughly as for other
grains. The seed may be brOadcasted
and covered with harrow Or drilled
at the rate of from 3 to pecks per
acre. The price of seed is not high.
The varieties most often used are
Silver Hull and Japanese. Although
japanese generally gives the largest
yield it is thought that many growers
prefer the Silver Hull because it offers
sparcer growth and has earlier matur-
ity.
Although the most common use of
fho error, iS for uN nCNEe flOnr II has
been fed to livestock with good results.
The straw is too coarse to have high
feeding value but it decays rapidly
when used for manure. Many bee
men have found the crop valuable.

.Keep Flocks at Sunn,er Gait.

Keep F1Ocss ut Sumsner Gait. !.
How can Iowa farm flOcks be !:ept
up to a 50 per cent egg production
during the summer mOnths!
Gull them out" is the answer
H. A. Bittenbender, head of the poul-
try husbandry department at, Iowa
State college, gives to this question.
II the flock consists Of a good egg lay
ing strain and is properly managed,
the birds should maintain an average
production of an egg every other day,
he says. If flOcks fall below this
average, it is probable that some Of
the hens are not laying or that there
is disease in the flock.
In either case the lOafers should be
gotten rid Of If the flock Is to produce
what it should.

Sorghum Kills Quack Grass.

Although you may have tried every

nate quack grass and have not secured
satisfactory results here Is method
that will often bring an end to the
weed. The farm crops department Of
Iowa State college says that sorghum
sown at the rate of 90 to 20 pounds
per acre lis usually effective in killing
1t. 1t is suggested that If drill is
accessible : .-hOuld be used to sow the
sorghum seed. Care should be taken,
however, to see that the seed Is not
covered too deeply. II no drill is ut
hand it would be well to broadcast
and follow with harrow.
