Cornstalils Make POnr Feed.

Cows that are being MIXED require
something more than dry cornstalkS.
according to II. II. Scarless, dairy eX-
pert with the extension service at
Iowa State college. The COW needs
plenty of roughagc. but she must also
hc fed good grain ration. especially
rs cold weather comes.
BY using all the home grown feeds
in the ration that is possible the pro
,uction cist may he cut down ana be-
sides, this practice provides il market
for feeds worth little as grain crops
DO not stop feeding oilmeal entirely
but cut down excessive feeding OF pre-
parcd feeds and substitute the home
grown ones wherever possible.
4 good warm barn and plenty OF
clean water to drink are Important.
Warming the water will save feed. as
if is cheaper to heat water than to re-
u,,irc the COW 10 heat it. as she VIII

ing cold water and cold weather.

Spray Rings Popular.

Spray ring organizations are proving
an important factor for the spraying
Of Iowa orchards, according to the
Observation-Disclosures at Iowa State college.
From the start made in Benton coun-
ty in 1919, the movement has spread
over the state rapidly. In 1920, Iowa
had 137 spray rings in 26 different
counties. Six hundred and fifty seven
orchards were being sprayed by this
method. In 1921, 35S spray rings are
reported located in 81 different coun-
ties. 2OSS9 orchards were thus spray
ed.
One hundred and eighteen of the
s,,rayers used in these rings are power
outfits and 24O are hand pumps. The
smaller size ring seems to be gaining
favor. and around Is members appears
to give the best satisfaction. Even
with the larger size power sprayers.
difficulty is experienced in getting the
calyx spray applied at the proper time,
when the rings exceed this number.
Even with only partial crop OF
fruit the past season, the interest III
spraying for the coming season Is
greater than ever before say the eX-
pertS. Many new spray rings will be
established this coming season.

AS result of the activities OF the
extension service at Iowa State college
during the last season for the better
ment of the seed potato supply in Iowa
and for better understanding of the
potato crop, the Minnesota authorities
have agreed to submit all seed pota-
toes certified by them, to test in re-
gard to their productive power. so
that it may be known whether certified
seed potatoes are worth the premium
or not over regular northern seed.
These tests will be made by the agri-
cultural experiment station at Ames
and probably through IL term of years
covering the produce of more than 100
seed potato farms in the Red River
valley and elsewhere.

Horse Coming Back.

REPORTS from county agents in Iowa,
in RESPONSE to Il QUESTIONABLE sent out
hy II. II. Kildcc, head of the animal
husbandry department at Iowa State
college, shows that horses are coming
back on the Iowa farm. Not only Is
this true. the reports show, because
OF the cheap feed and the increased
costs of fuel oils but because about
ten pcr cent of the farmers are raising
more horses than for several years.
Many farmers have to market their
grains some way in order to get any
kind of Il price and they have found
that horses not only furnish cheap
aud efficient power but they help use
the surplus of cheap feed that is every
where.
The 1870 census showed that Iowa
had l.1oS332 four years old or over,
and l133ot; colts under this age. n
recent survey by the United States
department of agriculture showed that
horse power cost more to operate III
1870 as compared with tractors but in
1921 the horse was by far the cheapest
power.
The report showed that the horse
weighing 400 to 1000 pounds was the
po;,ular animal and the mule between
900 and 1,i00 sold the best.

Dairymen Making Money.

Farmers who depend upon the dairy
cGw to finance them over the hard time
period will be able to use up conSld-
cradle of the cheap feed on hand in
Iowa and get good price for it. Not
only will they market the produce. but
they can stavc off the financial prob
lem a while longer. Reports received
by the agricultural economies depart
ment at Iowa State college show that
IN the counties of the state where
dairying is an established industry
few farm bankruptcies are being re-
corded. while in those districts where
corn is the main crop, many failures
ere recorded.
Recently Il man living in central
Iowa had a $4,000 first mortgage ON a
farm near good town. He wished
to sell it and advertised the & per cent
paper locally. He had one inquiry.
but no offers to buy. Then he offered
to discount the note so that it would
net the buyer Z per cent but still no
buyer came. Finally he had chance
to offer the mortgage in dairy and
truck crop section and ii sold readily.
Dairy districts. investigators found,
are generally in better financial cOndl-
ton. dairy products having brought
better prices the year round than other

Give Colt Good Care.

Fall colts will learn to eat grain
along with their mother if a little care
is taken. and they will make the best
growth during the winter months. Ac-
cor,ing to The animal husbandry de-
partmentt at Iowa State college the
best way to train the colt to eat grain,
is to get it to eating grain from the
same box with its mother. \ good
ration for this purpose is composed OF
two parts of oats, one part of corn.
one part OF bran and Il small amount
OF oil meal.
This will supply bone and muscle
building material for the best growth
In cold weather the colts should be
kept indoors at nights and on stormy
DAYS When the weather is nice, turn
the colt out so that it can get eXer-
else and fresh air.

Hold Forest Demonstration.

Ida county has the distinction Of
putting on the first demonstration iii
the state of Iowa under the forestry
extension project conducted by Iowa
State college. The demonstration was
o wOodlot management demonstration
carried out on the farm of l.. j. Baxter
in Silver Creek township. The work
consisted of the thinning of planted
\;OOdlOt which is now about 20 years
old. Some twenty farmers OF Ida coun-
ty were present and went over III"

father of l.. j. Baxter. only 20 years
ago and consists of Il mixed planting
of hard wood and evergreen trees.
The hardwood trees are now - to 80
feet high and the white pines as high
or higher.
The thinning is being made with the
idea of gradually replacing the hard
wood species and cverygre"rs so as to
keep good shcltcrlclt protection.
and of furnishing Il constant supply OF
more valuable products for future
trops. The hard wood species Will be

white pine. except for the black wal
nut which will be handled rs permit
nent tree. 4 part of the woodlot will
lie cleared entirely and used for farm
lots.
The present thinning will yield be-
tween one and two thousand fence
posts and before the final removal the
number Of fence posts secured VIII nc
much greater. Mr.. Baxter viii I'M
doubtcdly have enough fence post ma
terial to take care of the needs on his
farm permanently. besides he Will be
allie to manage the wood!ot so rs to

he Careful With Separators.

Many farmers are losing consider
able fat because the separator is fail
ing to skim clean, say the dairy eX-
perts at Iowa State college. Reports
received by the extension service show
that skinned milk has in many cases
from 1-6 to ii per cent fat in it. This
could be saved by adjusting the cream
screw on the separator and more but
tcrfat he sent to market.
Cream that tests high will keep
longer than that which contains a
large amount of skinned milk and a
better quality OF product can be pro-
duccd where the skinned milk Is left
out. Where cream is shipped it does
not pay to ship SKINNED milk along
with the cream.

ries. The most interesting exhibit
possibly in the South and showing
the signs of the times has been the
great increase in these above indus
tries. The two most prosperous
states in the union are Wisconsin
and Michigan and the central indus
try in them is the dairy industry. l
was talking with a dairyman from
Northern Pennsylvania only a few
days ago and he told me that dairy
ing was quite profitable with them
and that they had not felt any ef-
fects practically at all of defation'
1t is a business that goes steadily
on day after day the year around
and with very little changes in any
wise. If other people can learn to
do this dairy business and make a
profit out of it we can do it too. We
have less handicaps here for this
business than they have in the
North for their winters are ex-
ceedingly cold and cattle have to be
kept up and all feeding must be
hand feeding.

Eradication and Control.

The South car practically eradicate
the tick and eradicate wire grass
and if it cares to it can learn how
to control boil weevil. When the
government started out on tick con.
troll it seemed to be Just about as
hopeless a JOB as is its present cam
paign in weevil control. The prob
lem of southern grazing grasses, too,
for the cattle industry was a prob
lem that itself was not worked
out in a day. All of these matters
have cost the government a great
deal Of money and research work
and yet a farmer said to me the
other day that he didn't follow the
government because the government
was not practical This man, of
course, is in a hopeless minority for
practically all of u intelligent
agriculture well knows that with
out the government the South would
have remained a land, and indef-
nitely so, of boil weevil, ticks and
wire grass. It is not a comfortable
or a pretty picture. It is a tran
scendent thing for agriculture to be
emancipated from these three great
evils and handicaps.
