Tennessee Farm News

Things to do on the Farm in March
The month of March marks the
beginning of another active season
in the field for Tennessee farmers.
Specialists of the Division of Exten-
sion. University of Tennessee, make
the following suggestions for things
to do on the farm this month:
Work out your rotation plans grad
ually and carefully in the field. A
good system must grow, and con not
be installed ready made. 1t must fit
your farm. Some general livestock
and grain farms have this system in
operation: First year, corn and
beans; second year, wheat; third
year, barley; fourth year, clover and
grass; fifth year, grass. Note: Beans
are planted with cog in the same
row. / gallon per acre; wheat stubble
i summer is summer plowed and
lined for barley; clover and grass
are sown' with the barley in Septem-
Der.

Care of Livestock

Before narrowing time, Tighten the
grain ration for hogs with plenty of
pasture. One week before farrow-
ing time place sows in narrowing pen
and let them get accustomed to new
surroundings before pigs are born.
To avoid constipation add small
amount of oil meal to ration. Keep
sheep on winter pasture mot wheat
Feed 2 parts cracked corn and part
bran to lambs in creeps after two
weeks old. Dock and castrate lambs
at 10 to IA days old. Use multiple
hitch for four horse teams. Gradu'
ally harden work stock to heavy la.
Dor. Watch their shoulders. KeeI
dairy cattle protected from cole
winds and rains; use care not to turr
out to pasture too early.

Due to the big drop in cotton pric-

during 1920. A number of commun-
ity organizations entered the con-
test which created a great deal of in
terest and much good was accom-
plished in all. However, the work of
the Lockert community was out
standing and it was awarded the
prize. Ninety percent of all the peo-
pie in this community within the age
limits, are enrolled in club work and
reported on their work-this includes
boys girls, mems, and Women's
clubs. .s..,
The women and girls have done
splendid work. All are enrolled in
the poultry club work, and the wo-
mems home demonstration club is a
very progressive organization. Dur
ing 1920 the men seeded 173 acres
to Crimson clover and are making
advanced steps in the manufacture of
lime in their own community. A
large number of very helpful fled
demonstrations were conducted.
The Community provided trans.
portation for the club boys and girls
to the annual picnic given in July
the teachers salaries were supple
mented with 1912; the school bull
ing was painted inside and out
$1,120.75 was put into community
road work, including time and money
altogether $2,953.75 was spent OF
community improvement.
The Lockert Community is vel
represented in the Montgomery
Council of Agriculture, and has al
ways been active in all progressive
movement for better farming 'anc
home making. They made good rec
ords at both the community ant
county fairs, and made a good sh<w
ing at the State Fair, working
through the County Council
The decision of We winning com
munity was made by Mr.. A. B. Har

A resume Of the wool Standardized

United@States Department Of Agricul-
ture, shows that much progress has
been made since the tentative estab-
lishment of definite wool grades just
a year ago. Following the prepara-
ton of a few sets for its field agents
and the subsequent press announce
ment that tentative wool grades had
been developed, requests for the sets
have been distributed among the bu-
resu's field agents, agricultural col
leges, wool-growers' associations, wool
dealers and manufacturers, textile au-
thorities, and others interested.
The tentative wool grades as pro-
mulgated are based on studies of
more than two years duration. In

Corn. of one variety or another, is
u most widely distributed cereal
crop. Therefore, any single disease
that takes a toll Of 4 per cent is q
matter for serious consideration. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture estimates the damage done by
corn root rots in 1919 at over 125, DOC,
600 bushels. Multiplied by the aver
age price Of corn for that year, we
have before us the unpleasant fact
that these rots exacted a tax of over
$20O,OO0,0O0.
When it considered that one of the
same organisms which causes corn
root rot also cause wheat scrub and
that these organisms carried over on
corn stubble may infect a field Of
wheat the next year, the seriousness
increases.

ture, say specialists Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
They affect the kernels of corn I'M
such a way that while they may germi-
nate they often will produce sickly,
diseased plants which may die in early
stages or produce infected corn. These
diseases weaken the plants at the low
er joints, and.if they come to maturity
the damage is perpetuated.
1t is necessary for farmers wishing
to avoid corn root rot to terminate
kernels from every a of corr to be
used for seed. The simplest method
Of making a test is by means of IN
improved rag-doll germinator. This,
in it's essential features, consists Of
nothing more than a broad strip of
muslin backed by moistureproof fiber
paper. Rows of seed kernals are
placed IN the cloth which is rolled
up and left in a warm box. The re
suits are, of course, checked against
the ears from which the kernels were
taken, and only perfect, or nearly per-
feet, ears are kept for seed. This
germinator is very simple and fur
nishes a practically complete test.
Bleached or ~unbleached muslin can
be used for the rag doll, The cloth,
which usually in a 54inch
width, is torn across into 12-inch
strips, 81 inches long. Before being
used the cloth is boiled, and it should
be damp when the seeds \ placed
on it. This cloth is laid on a strip
of glazed paper, a little longer than
the. cloth, to allow folding owe at the
ends, fresh newspapers being placed
o the table under the paper to avoid
infection.
About 81kernels are then taken from
each ear and, beginning at the butt,
are laid in rows across the muslin
strip, so that VIXEN the strip is rolled
up and placed in a terminating box
the tips of the seed will be down
ward. The rag dolls are sprinkled
twice daily, and at the end of z days
are taken out, unrolled, and in:
spected. The appearance Of the
sprouts is a guide to the quality Of
the seed. If more than n seed shows
signs of infection, the infected ear is
thrown out. If the farmer has enough
corn it is best to throw out an ear for
a single bad kernel.
Destroying the Stubbfes
Root rot is carried over in stubble,
and every effort should be made to de-
stroy or pillow under as much stubble
as possible. Increasing the fertility
of the soil and crop rotation have also
been found beneficial. One difficulty
about rotation as a remedy is that root
rot affects corn and wheat and III
many localities Ii always present on
the farm. For this reason the de-
partment is anxious that rag-doll germ.
inators be put into general and intelli
gent use, md the season started With
Glenn seed.
