Farm News Department

sbel pork was supposed to be worth
SIG per hundred pounds.
At present corn is selling around
80 cents per bushel with hog prices
at $1,000 while under the old "13 to
l" ration the pork should be worth
about $3.50 per hundred pounds.
Or in figuring it the other way. the
corn marketed through hogs at present
prices brings the farmer return of
u cents per bushel for his corn,
emphasizing the added value through
feeding it. instead of shipping. Also
there is the added value in the manure
which goes back to the soil and is not
shipped out as when the grain is sold.
Anyway according to Mr.. gilbert
son. the farmer who has a herd of
hogs at present can net a good return
for his corn. Where the hogs are run.
ming with cattle the return OH the corn
can be increased SO that an even
greater price can be obtained for the
feed.

Saws Mites Can be Oustea.

| Chicken mites are an evil. but moi
a necessary evil, if proper. methods OF
eradication are used, according to w
II. Lapp, of Iowa State college.
The reason most 1ocks are bother
cd with mites. is that the owners do
not start their campaigns against them
until they have multiplied into millions
in single house.
The chicken house should be spray
cd with some standard commercial
spray during the cold weather while
the mites are lying dormant. accord
ing to Mr. Lapp, and in nine or ten
days should follow another dose. If
the mites are allowed to get good
start when the weather warns up. it
is a difficult matter to get rid Of
them.
If mites get on the newly Matched
chicks, there will be no harm III greas-
ing them with lard and gasoline, if
care is taken not to apply too much
but the chicks can be saved from
mites if the hen is Kept free from
them.

Select Seed Free From Mods.

While there is considerable talk
about corn rots and corn diseases
Iowa is not in any danger of losing
great quantities of grain through these
causes that cannot be avoided. Ac-
cording to H. II. Porter. extension
pathologist and plant disease worker at
Iowa State college, many OF these all
ments are secondary and can be pre-
vented if proper precautions are taken
in choosing seed.
Many of the diseases are caused
first by wire worms, corn root worms
slubs and insects that injure the plant
Many other diseases come from mOlds
that are present on the corn to be plant
ed and these get start when the first
plant stalk grows.
In selecting seed, see that no molds
appear on the ears anywhere. discard
ing those that have signs Of molds on
them. In testing out the seed on a
ragdoll tester. watch for molds to APP
pear and check up ears from which
moldy kernels have come
In planting see that the stalks are
well plowed under. Do not raise corn
on the same soil too long or danger
Gus fungi will secure such strong
hold on the soil that they will ruin
the crop.

Treat Oats for Smut.

With the certainty that large
acreage Of oats will be planted this
slring in the effort to get more clio.
yers started OH Iowa farms, consid
cradle care in treating oats for SHUTS
ought to be exercised, say the farm
crops experts at Iowa State college.
Conservative estimates placed the
annual damage to Iowa's oat crop at
seven and one-half per cent of the
total acreage or, in other words. 49,
COO acres of Iowa oats are annually
DESTROYED or rendered worthless by
smut.
Smut is Il parasitic fungus disease
that spreads by means Of spores. At
harvest time these spores travel from
the diseased plant aud find lodging
place Oh the healthy seed AS the
spores lodge on the outside Of the grain
it is II comparatively easy matter to
rid the seed of the smut.
The new method of treatment now
recommended by the college consists
in taking one pint of formaldchEde to
10 gallons of water and using the re-
sulting solution to treat 40 bushcl of
seed This method is rapid, fairly
easy Of application. and certain in its
T., suits. Smut may be absolutely eradi-
Gated in two years time If the proper
procedure is followed.
Where small hand spray is avail
able the solution may be made much
stronger by taking one pint of formal
dchydc to one pint of water. This
method. however. is more difficult OF
control and the formaldehyde fumes
an objection.

County Agent is Busy.

oats wanted TO know why they were
moldy and if they were fit to feed.
2.-AnOthcr wanted to know what tt

that he could comply with the city's
milk ordinance.
::.-Sevcral wanted to start vacci-
nation school. and wanted to know how
to do it.
4.-Others wanted to know what
clover seed was worth, and whether
it was better to buy now or wait.
Our hogs are sick, said several.
have they the "flu" or cholera:
G.-Tell us the difference between
White Wyandotte and White Rock
chickens, asked another.
Twill Russian mulberry make good
fence posts?
S.-What are the possibilities of feed
ing SOY beans to hogs!
9.-Tell us the truth about this new
annual sweet clover and will 1t pay
us?
1O.-When are you coming out to Gull

Then he announced he was busy for
