ly very good crop a little further

our local conditions. On some years
it might be alright but on the aver
age our seasons are too short to make

Probably the best one season hay

able to our conditions. They should
be planted about the usual time of
planting cats, at the rate Of one bu-

shells of peas to the acre. This should
be cut at the time when the oats are
in the advanced milk stage and the
peas are about ripe. If cut earlier
the hay isharder to dry, and at this
time the food value is the highest.
Millet makes a very good hay, es-
peccially for later planting. It is
gccd ,yielder and fairly easy to dry
and can be fed safely to most any
stock. The Hungarian variety is the
most advisable as it is most adapted
to our conditions and yields the great.

PLAN TO CUT
CORN ACREAGE
Agreement Made by Farmers to
Reduce Supply Because Of
Low Prices.
LAST YEARS CROP IS UNSOLD
One Nebraska Farmer Shipped Car
load Of Corn TO Montana, Paid
Freight Sill Of $4t6.58 and
Collected $416.52.

The proposal to curtail corn acreage
In the West In 1922 Is likely to affect
the price of food before the end Of
the year. The entire country Is
heavily interested because IL success
full, 1t means an increase lin the cost
of corn and meat. with q resultant and
sympathetic increase In the price Of
wheat and bread. Nebraska is not the
only state in which the movement is
gaining ground. Iowa, Kansas. Mis-
souri,, Illinois, South Dakota and all
the states Of the great BREAD Basket"
are moving I'm the same direction.
Signs are plentiful throughout the
Middle West that far less corn than
usual Will be planted unless there Is
an immediate and considerable in
crease In the price Of that cereal.
Most farmers recognize that the
price Of corn Is not due to any COM
bination of capital or conspiracy"
but Is governed solely because Of the
law Of supply and demand and they
are preparing to cut the supply.
Farmer 10 Stuno.
Nebraska farmers are getting about
II cents for their corn. Farmers In
states closer. to markets are getting
a cent or two more. Two weeks ago a
)farmer-< near : Broken Bow. Neb.,
shipped carload of corn to Billings,
Mont. The freight was $416.58. The
selling price In Billings was $416.52.
The farmer paid the difference. six
cents. He had provided the land and
seed, planted and worked the corn,
gathered and shocked 1t, hauled 1t to
the railroad station and then paid out
six cents for all his trouble.
All over the corn belt the farmers
are having similar experiences.
The executive committee Of the I'LL
nois Agricultural association has
recommended to the Illinois farmers
that they cut the acreage they will
plant In corn for 1922. Illinois is the
second largest corn producing state in
the country.
A special committee from the state
farm bureau declarations Of Iowa, Indi-
ana, Kansas and Missouri has ad-
vised similar action. Iowa Is the
heaviest corn producing state In Amer
lea. Missouri, also, Is close to the top.
Indiana is not far away. The Kansas

Thousands Of farmers in the cora

they raised In 1921. They have re-
fused to sell ut rhe low prices. Recent

Will Reduce Acreage.
One big land company has 5000
acres OF land at Herman. Neb. Or
-Jinarlly, this company plants 1000
acres to corn every year. Here Is
what one Of the owners Of the COM
pany, as we'll as owner OF the Omaha
Bee and one OF, the most prominent
business men In this state has to say:
.'There Is no doubt that II corn Is
not UP to the cost Of production In the
coming year. In systematic or an In
dividual way farmers will decide not
to plant 1t. On our 5.OO0-acre farm,
nor an acre of corn will be planted un-
less the price goes up to meet the cost
of raising crop. We have notified
the manager to summer fallow the
1000 acres Of corn land IL prices are
not up to cost. It Is better that the
land should rest than that 1t be worn
out growing crop that does not pay
cut.
THE surest way to prevent the
price OF corn from being unduly de-
pressed, Is to reduce the acreage. II
the farmers can get more by not farm
Ing than they can get by farming. the
choce is easy"
The Illinois Agricultural association
has issued a statement to the effect
that by cutting production farmers
will be doing only what manufacturers
In all other lines do-shaping the
supply to meet the demand. That is
the answer Middle Western farmers
are preparing to give to the question
Is to what Is to be done to save agri-
culture.

FARMERS SHOULD
SPRAY APPLE TREES

1t has been noticed in examining
some of the apple trees in the county

This is tiny shell-li!se insect that at
tarhes itsoF ~ the branches and
sucks the life out of the trees. 1t
Is. voay v.eiy controlled If proper
precautions are taken at the proper
line.r
Oyster shell scale is controlled by
spraying with lime and sulphur solu-
ton when the trees are in dormant
state, that is before the leaves start.
Now is the host time, This solution
is made by mixing fifteen pounds of
dry Enc end sulphur with fifty gal
Ions of water and thoroughly cover
ing every part Of the tree. If the
scale is very thick on the larger parts
of the tree it is very advisable to
scrape) the tree with an old hoe or a
steel brush, until all of the scale is
removed. Then spray with the lime
and sulphur solution. This dry lime
and sulphur is inexpensive and can
be procured from any drug store.
Anyone having apple trees should
examine them thoroughly and if scale
is present, clean it off at once and
then spray. Otherwise the scale will
kill the trees in few years.
