iplce contamlnate flour more readily
than drler ones.
One Of the serious results Of the
presence Of garlic In wheat is the
clogglng of the corrugntions Of the
rolls in the mills so that they cannot
function properly. Under such con-
dltlons II 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 -four
made from garlcky wheat therefore
mills have to discount 1t when 1t is
sold from % 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- shelled and hard-shelled.
This fact has been used as a basis
for the recommendation of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for Its eradlca-
ton. The soft-shelled bulbs terminate
In the late summer or fall, while the
hard-shelled 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 a
titled crop the following spring. Any
crop 30 planted should be carefully
TILED, 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 blowing, followed by IN
other titled crop. Rye may be sown
after the late fall blowing and turned
under for green manure the following
spring.
Many farmers make practice of
throwing weeds Of various sorts out
of the bundles at the time Of shock
ing wheat. 1t has been found that
II the entire product of the field is
removed frorfi the land at harvest
time, great care taken In planting
only seed that is free from garlic and
other weeds, and proper crop rotation

few years. 1t Is believed by depart

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Because the presence Of garlic or
wild onion In wheat decreases It's
market value materially, special
study of the problem of marketing
wheat so tainted has been made by
the bureau Of markets and crop esti'
mates, United States Department OF
Agriculture. The purpose OF the
study was to ascertain how such WheaI
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 a.
samples of Maryland wheat taken
from wagons, elevators, bins, and mills
was 40 bulbets to pound. Mlllers
were 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
spollage, the extra cleaning and pre-
paratlon required for milling, the
lower flour yields, the greater cost OF
manufacturing, and the lower market
value of the resultant flour.
BuIbIets Vary in Size.
Garlic bulbets range in size from
that of a kernel Of wheat to that of a
pea seed. The specific gravity OF the
bullets is less than that Of the wheat
kernel, though it varies with the sea-
son and with the weather conditions.
The bullets are heaviest ut harvest
time as later the moisture evaporates
and they lose weight. The greater
risk of spollage in garlicky wheat Is
due to the Preventative or germlnatlve
action In wheat started by the alb
sorptlon of moisture from the garlic
bulblets. As this is a slow process
the danger of spoilage IS Slicht where
grain is handled or moved frequently.
None Of the special cleaners for re-
moving the garlic Is entirely satlsfac-
tory. Some Of them remove too small
q part of the garlic, and some remove
too much wheat when removing the
garlic. II was noted that the con-
dltion OF the bulblets had more Of an

masters also were urged TO seek "con-

to the end of improving the service
wherever possible.
