DON'T DESTROY

If the elevators would pay as much
as the dairy COW for farm crops, we
would see to it that the elevator would
be abundantly supplied; we would all
cash in.
Then why not supply the good dairy
COW just as abundantly when she needs
it and when she will pay more for
what we deliver to her than any other
customer, ask dairy specialists at the

farmer who had good cows that were

Of markets, they declare. Fortunate
also was the man, whose crops were
practically failure last year, if he
had herd of dairy COWS to furnish
him and his family with food and

When butterfat drops as it is accus-
toned to do during June, July and
August, the out-of-place dairyman will
make protest about the low markets,
but the older experienced men will
only look amused because they milk
when butterfat prices are high and let
their COWS dry up during these months

and low prices.

MUCH FAITH PUT
INTO PIT SILO
(By ]. H. Shepperd)

We are beginning to put faith in the
pit silo to carry over the extra corn or
suntlowers grown in the good years in
western North Dakota and keep it un-
til bad year comes along. Corn sill
age will keep for ten years as good as
new and fancy sun flowers and sweet
clover silage will do it too. Our folks
put down pit silo right in the barn.
yard anywhere and fill it, and If it
settles little just throw some dirt
over it and let the stock use it for
barnyard the same as though it were
not there. We must always plant a
fencepost over it so we won't dig up
the whole barnyard hunting for it
when a bad year comes. We got the
idea from the biblical report of Pha-
roh's dream which Joseph made so
good on by interpreting it right. We
build a pit silo for $25 or less and
our folks can do that easily in good
years. We buy no fancy hoist, just a
well wheel and rope and two wash
tubs to take it out with.
We find, too, that sweet clover
| stacked green i'll stack 1S feet
through and as high as it can be
piled readily cures into high class sill
age without any construction about it
except for topping off of hay to shed
he rain from it. With fence about
1t two feet away and the interspace
strued with straw you can keep the
frost out and have better sweet clover
silage than we have been able to cure
| In regular cement silO of the better
| type.
When you have live stock you find
ways and means Of getting feed for
them when it seems impossible. you
+, have employment in the winter, you
are more economical and the sheriff
seldom serves eviction papers on you.
1t is hard to disprOve the fellow who
says, they're eating their heads off, F."
If you talk market price for your time
and feed, but suspicion that most of
us waste the time if we don't have
live stock to care for and few of US
sell the feed for the market price we
talk so glibly about if we do not have
live stock to convert it into market
able products for us and then walk it
to the market place in concentrated
packages. I seldom urge it. 1 just
ask my opponent to go with me into a
! good live stock district and look over
the buildings and bank accounts and
mortgages and the folks themselves,
and then I'll go with him into grain
only regions and that ends it. He will
never go with me-he knows better
than to try it. You can not sell much
| paint for buildings where there are no
live stock, and trees don't seem to
thrive on grain farms with us, but
weeds grow vigorously and the general
tone Of the population is less inter.
ested and less interesting in every way
that is worth while. So why debate
the cause? Why not just taI,e the net
result and let that convince US and
Dush US into action.

United States grades for peaches
have been reissued by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The grades contain only minor
changes from those recommended in
1921.
In past years peaches have been
graded chiefly with regard to size.
The United States grades are based
wholly on market quality. Under this
term are included such factors as
color, maturity. general appearance
and freedom from insect and fungous
injuries. Minimum sizes have not
been specified for the various grades,
but the numerical count and minimum
size or style Of pack of the peaches
must be stamped on each package.
This is q we'll established practice In
handling boxed apples and citrus
fruits.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrlculture.)
About 1000 pounds Of cabbage seed
of the Wisconsin All Seasons variety,
which Is highly resistant to the disease
known as cabbage yellows," was pro-
duced in the Puget Sound section of
Washington during the season of 1921.
Cabbage yellows is caused by fungus
which is capable of persisting In fav-
orable soils indefinitely and causes
serious crop losses In infested regions.
Disinfection of the seed reduces the
danger Of carrying other cabbage
diseases to new districts, but the in
vestigations of the University of Wis
c0nsin have shown that the selection
Of resistant varieties offers the only
way Of preventing loss from yellows.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture. in cooperation with the
Wisconsin experiment station. has for
some time been Investigating the
disease and assisting growers and
packers in the production Of cabbage
seed of the yellows-resistant strains
on commercial scale and in the field
inspection Of the seed crops. In ad-
dition to the All Seasons, several hum
dred poands of Wisconsin Brunswick
seed. another yeIlows-resistant variety,
have also been produced.
One result of the investigations thus
far is the development Of these yell
lows-resistant varieties. Through the
commercial cabbage growers and kraut
packers supply of the yellows-re-
sstant cabbage seed is available to
the growers In sections where these
types of cabbage are needed. Resist.
ant strains of other varieties, !nclud-
ing Holander, All Head Early, and
Copenhagen Market, are being devel-
oped and will be propagated for dis
tribution in the near future.

Getting Better Results
From Strawberry Beds

push through. The straw is allowed
to lie in the space between the rows
where it acts as mulch, doing away
with the necessity of cultivation to a
great extent. Both spring and ever
bearers will produce crop under fav-
orable conditions a year from the time
the plants are set.
After the crop has been removed
many growers NOV all the leaves,
rake off the straw and cultivate
throughout the rest of the season.
Others allow the mulch to remain and
simply keep down the weeds. Under
ordinary conditions the strawberries
should not be expected to bear more
than two seasons in succession. A
new bed must then be started, using
the plants from the old one.
In North Dakota the limiting factor
in strawberry production is likely to be
moisture. Except in favorable loca-
tions unless irrigation can be given,
Strawberries will not prove success

ter Of the state.
The best varieties which may be Sc
cured from any nursery are Senator

the Progressive which is all everbearer.
Dunlap is probably the best market
bearer but Progressive is favorite in
home gardens, especially where the bed
can be watered when necessary.

There are two main types of straw
berries; the everbaring and the spring
bearing. The culture of either class is
the same.
The plants should be set early in
May in rows four feet apart with the
plants two feet apart in a row. The
plants should be set out carefully so
that they are put in the ground exactly
at the same depth at which they have
been growing. All blossom buds
should be removed at the time of the
setting and the number of leaves
should be reduced to one or two we'll
developed ones.
Strawberries do better on a loamy
soil, though satisfactory crops may he
raised on heavy clay or light sand.
The plants should be carefully cult
waited and allowed to produce all the
plants they will but these plants should
not be allowed to take root except
along two-foot strip where the row
was planted. With plenty of moisture
the everbearing varieties will produce
a crop in the autumn of the year in
which they are set.
When freezing weather comes in the
fall cold enough so that the ground is
crusted layer of four inches Of clean
straw should be put over the plants.
This is allowed to remain until the
plants start to grow in the spring. 1t
