TINY PLANET is NEW MEMBER
Latest Discovery is But Fifteen Miles
In Diameter


Buenos Aires-Dr Hartmann, direc-
tor of the La Plata observatory, says
that the orbit of the little planet he
discovered on November 4, the constel-
lation of Cetus, Hes between the orbits
Of the planets Jupiter and Mars. The
orbit is eliptical and is covered in five
years and seven months. 1t has the
considerable eccentricity of OPP.
AS the plane of the orbit is very in
clined in regard TO the earth's equa-
tor. the new planet can approach the
poles closer than most of the other
planets.
Tie little world may be observed
from the end of this year until the
fall Of 1923 in a very northern position,
most favorable for observations from
the northern hemisphere.
The diameter of the globe is esti-
mated at barely 20 kilometers (about
1871 miles,, as its brll:ancy taken at
the last observation appeared to be
If the fifteenth magnitude.

PLANT IN ROWS TO
INCREASE FLAX YIELD

Flax sown in rows and cultivated
has given higher yield than flax sown
in six or eight inch drills, according to
Professor H. l.. Bolley Of the North
Dakota Agricultural college, who
states that for a number of years flax
has been planted with the ordinary
grain drill in rows for cultivating.
This is accomplished by stopping up
certain spouts Of the drill. Single.
double, and triple flax rows with % to
&c spacings have been used.
The average yield for the past six
years has been 9.O6 bushels per acre
as compared with S.45 bushels from
the solid fax areas during the same
period. The cultivation puts the
ground in most excellent condition for
a following small grain crop, which
should he planted across the flax rows.
Pigeon grass in the flax rows cannot
be kept down except by hand wedding,
but does not seem to effect an appreci-
able reduction of the yield.

roasters and hens, fortunate sltua-
tion since it permits the feeder to
adapt his ration to market conditions
by taking advantage of special prices
of certain feeds and also to use feeds
available locally. A growing bird,
such as broi1er or spring, requires
different ration than mature hen,
which changes most of her feed into
fat. A simple ration of corn meal and
buttermilk is about as good as any for
hens. Broilers fed rations containing
protein concentrates, such as peanut
meal, coconut oil, soy-bean meal, or
meat scrap made appreciably better
gains than those fed on corn meal and
buttermilk. They grow rapidly and
need tissue-forming feeds. Springs
also respond readily to rations con-
tanning protein concentrates.
Throughout the 14-day feeding Pc
riOd broilers continued to gain well,
which shows that this is not too long
a feeding period. Springs grew very
rapidly during the first II days. but
not so rapidly, though profitably, DUR
ing the remaining three days. Roast
ers gained well during the first two
four-day periods but not so we'll the
last six days. It was found that the
practice of feeding hens only six to
eight days is well founded. The Dress
ing and chilling shrinkage of hens,
however, was much less than in the
case Of broilers, springs and roasters.
Any of the ordinary cereal grains
supply the necessary carbohydrates
and fats. More care is needed in Sc
lecting feeds for protein, salts and
vitamines. The proteins of the cereal
grains are present in too small
amounts and are of too poor quality
to produce the best results in broilers
and springs unless other protein con-
centrates are added. Milk and cereals
make one Of the most profitable ra-
tions, as milk supplies mineral SUBJ
stances, vitamines and very valuable
proteins. The results given in the bull
letin show that peanut meal protein,
as well as soy-bean meal protein, is
especially valuable. The protelns of
buttermilk are especially valuable,
and If used in sufficiently large,
amounts produce very desirable re-
suits. Other protein concentrates are,
meat and fish scraps, cottonseed meal,
coconut meal and sesame-seed meal.
Corn, wheat. oats and other grainsI
lack such mineral substances as cal
cium, sodium and chlorine which
growing animals require. In the ra-
tiOns where buttermiIk or skim milk
is used, these ingredients are fairly
well supplied. Milk also supplies vita.
mines. At present the milk available
for poultry-fleshing purposes is largely
buttermilk. fresh, condensed or pow,

BEES PLAY IMPORTANT PART
Especially Valuable to Orchard Owner
During Rainy Season In the
Blooming Period.

Bees play an important part in the
production of fruit in cross pollinating
and fertilizing the flowers. They carry
and distribute pollen. Prof. w. A.
Price, entomologfst at Purdue. says
bees are especially important to the
orchard owner in rainy, backward sea-
sons, during the blooming period.
When 1t is rainy the flies, butterflies,
and the wind, pollinating agents, may
not function, but the bees work be-
tween showers and are often RESPONSE
BILE for the success of the fruit crop.

yer foxes, and that there are between
1900 and 5000 foxes in captivity.
1t Is estimated that about $S,OOO,0OO
is invested in this industry.
The industry Of breeding fur-bear-
ing animals has grown because of the
rapid development of the modern fur
trade in the last twenty-five years.
The United States is the largest fur
market and fur-consuming country In
the world.
Many inquiries concerning fox farm
ing are sent to the biological survey.
The problems met by fox and other
fur farmers require, as in the case
of other live stock, knowledge of
species, temperament, sanitation, dis
eases and parasites. In addition, fur
farmers are handling wild animals in
captivity and not domestic stock. A
knowledge Of pelts, particularly of
values and market requirements, ia
essential to success from the business
standpoint, and this ordinarily means
to visit personally warehouses, man
ufacturing furriers, or sales Of furs.
AS breeders cannot always do this,
representatives Of the biological sur
vey are constantly bringing before
them all possible information relating
to the fur industry in all its phases.

Managing The Flax Crop
To Get Maximum Returns

A very good crop of flax sometimes
may be grown from Il late planting,
of one fails to get the seed in early
and cares to gamble on the late coming
Of frost.
There are many areas of land which
are too wet to work early in the spring
which would produce good yiels of
flax if properly handled. In using such
lands for flax, be sure that there is
good surface drainage. Work the
land as for sod areas. Do not do any
packing when the soil is wet. Leave
no uneven places in which water can
stand after heavy rains. Growing flax
can live but few hours if it has to
stand with it's roots in surface water.
Late planting of flax does not make
for sure crop. If the crop after it
has reached the blossom period runs
into just moderate frost, it will be
destroyed By late planting we mean
flax which is seeded approximately
June 10 to July 1. Often there have
been very large yields from late
paintings because the blossom period
started just after the cool autumn
weather set in and continued during a
long period. If such late maturing
fax chances to escape frost, the yield
may be exceptionally large. One must,
however, recognize that he is gambling
on the late coming Of frosts. The late
seeding gives tim efor tillage to kill
pigeon grass and other late sprouting
weeds and to prepare good seed bed.
10 summarize: The seeding time in
most parts of North Dakota should
usually be the earliest date possible
without having the ground actually
freeze after the crop is up. Ordinarily,
1t is safe to plant flax as soon as
wheat planting is over. For early
planting try April 20 to May 10; for
late plantig, June 10 to July /;
for mid-esason paintings, May Is to
June 10.
AS a general rule, for the mid-state
and western areas one bushel Of seed
is sufficient for three acres. If the
seed bed is well prepared, this amount
of seed should give sufficient stand on
any area. Somewhat more seed may

CONTROL OF cUTWORM
LIES IN DlVERsIFicATIoN

The pale western cutWOrm, which
has been causing severe damage to
wheat in western North Dakota for
several years, was the subject of much
discussion at the recent conference of
entomologists from the United States
and Canada at NlinOt. The insect has
given much trouble in Alberta, Sas-
katchewan and Montana, as well as in
North Dakota.
Experiments with poison bran have
not been successful, mainly because
the cutworms feed below the surface
of the soil. Little hope Of control is
expected in this direction. In Mon
tana, fields plowed before May 1 suf-
fered much less damage than those
plowed after that date.
1t was generally agreed that the
most severe infestation has occurred
on ground that was In spring wheat
the previous year.
The following information has been
sent out to all the county agents in
the Slope counties, where trouble by
the insect is anticipated.
/. Crops on fields where spring
wheat was damaged by cutworms a
year ago are likely to be injured
again this year. No crop on the same
ground will escape damage completely.
2. Less damage by this cutworm
is likely to occur on old corn ground,
or on old potato ground.
8. From what is known Of the in
sect at present, the ultimate control
seems to lie in more diversified farm
ing.

Such Pests as orasshoppers, Wire

Insect pests, such as grasshoppers,
wire worms and cut worms, can be
controlled to quite an extent by clean

unused land along fence lines and on
waste land. According to F. A. Fenton,
entomologlst at Iowa State college,
these locstic-~ harbor such pests, and
by cleaning them up early, many in

Where pests have been prevalent on

NURSING TO GET BEST

Spring wheat and SIxty-Day oats

able for sweet clover production, says
Prof. H. L. Walster. Seed yields were
very low where barley was used as
the nurse crop. This is in accord with
the results obtained in 1919 where bar
ley also proved to be a poorer nurse
crop for seed production than either
oats or wheat. Barley does not check

be used on the heavier lands of the
eastern portion of the state. Under
favorable conditions of soil moisture,
the usual seeding Of approximately
two pecks has given good results. Do
not SOW shriveled, scaly flax seed. If
these injuries were not due to frost
ing of the paret crop, it may be as.
sumed that they will carry disease and
death to neighboring plants in the drill
row. Awell packed seed bed is of
greatest Importance. Firm the ground
so that the moisture will come to the
top and the seed will not need to be
planted deeper than three-fOurths inch
to get moisture. The roots will then be
protected from the drying winds. On
new breaking or sod lands make the
furrow slices lie flat. Run heavy
packer Immediately behind the plow
dirt enogh to fill cracks and air spaces.
Pack some more, then drill in the
seed. Follow the drill Immediately
with packer. The yield will pay for
the work. On old lands, whether
spring or fall plowed, it is equally i'm.
portant to make a firm seed bed. If
you sow late, disc, harrow, and pack
to kill the pigeon grass. Seed the flax
on this fresh narrowed and packed
land, then again firm down the soil
after the drill.
On new lands properly plowed, pack
ed and seeded, any good northwestern
flax seed, graded to plump, bright
seeds properly treated, may be expect.
ed to produce good yield under nor.
NAL weather conditions. If the crop.
ing is done on old lands, subject to
wilt infection, reliance should be plac.
ed upon wilt resistant varieties, N. p.
r. ia is the variety most suitable for
the eastern one-third of North Dakota,
and eastward. In the western two
thirds of the state, on land that has
not previously grown flax, N. D. lis
(Frontier) is one of the best yielders.
