FARM EXTRACTS
INFORMATION FROM ExPE RnIENT STATION AGRICUL-
TURAL PAPERS THE COUNTY AGENTS OFFICE

| ed by the Kentucky Agricultural Ex-
! pertinent Station to determine the
most profitable pasture for these
animals. other pasture crops for
sheep that can be planted during
the next few months include soy
beans, cowpeas, and Sudan grass,
the station sheepmen say.
/, Rape seeded in April or May will
, make early pasture, eight to ten
pounds of seed being required an
acre. This may be drilled or
broadcasted. Many men who fit
sheep for shows sow oats with rape
at the rate of one bushel an acre
thus making it possible to change
the sheep gradually from green feed
to dry feed and grain as the oats
ripen, it is said. One acre of rape
will carry from 10 to Is ewes or
from Is to rs lambs but should not
be pastured until it is 10 to IA
inches high.
Cowpeas for sheep pasture are
sown from May Is to June Is in
rows 2S to 35 inches apart, about
As pounds of seed being required an
acre. This crop, which has a car
rying capacity about the same as
rape, is ready for pasture in Septem-
Der.
Soybeans also are seeded in rows
like cowpeas but should be planted
about Is days earlier than the peas
at the rate of 35 pounds of seed an
acre. This crop can be pastured in
September and will carry from eight
to l5 ewes or ten to 20 lambs an
acre.
Although not as desirable for
sheep as soybeans, cowpeas> or rape,
Sudan grass makes an excellent
catch crop or dry weather one to be
used when the others fail, the sheep
men say. 1t may be sown in May
or June at the rate of eight to ten
pounds OF seed an acre and is ready
for pasture in about one month.
Last year, in eight weeks during
which no rain fell, one acre OF this
grass furnished pasture for 20 sheep
on the station farm, according TO
the sheepmen. The animals were
turned on the grass after 1t had
been planted 10 days

Better Sires

The Third Farmers Better Sire
Sale will be held at the Bourbon
Stock Yards, Louisville, Ky, Thurs
day, May 4th. according to an an
nouncement made public today. The
sale will consist of 100 purebred
bulls of shorthorn, Hereford and
Angus breeds.
The movement to improve the
breeding of live stock in Kentucky,
which was started last year when
200 purebred bulls were sold to far
mers all over the state has spread to
all parts of the country and with the
backing of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, has resulted in
nation wide movement. The
strenuous efforts that have been
made in the past to impress the far
mers with the value of producing the
best possible livestock and to elimi-
nate the scrub sire has gained favor
with majority of the raisers of live
stock and considerable improvement
has been shown all over the state.
The farmer producing the better
grade stock is convinced that he will
receive from five to thirty dollars
per head more than the producers
of inferior types.
From experience of the sale held
last June, the committee in charge
are more familiar with the type OF
bulls that are wanted by the farmers
and as the result, breeders will en-
ter only bulls of the right kind, that
is good young animals, ready for SER
vice. Facilities for the handling of
this sale on May 4th. have been
greatly improved by the Bourbon
Stock Yards Company.
Judging from the recent records of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, which conducts the Bet
ter Sires-Better Stock" campaign,
interest in pure bred sires is more
than double that of a year ago.
During January and February,
sig emblems of recognition were is
sued to persons who signed declara-
tions stating they would use pure
bred sires exclusively in all classes
of livestock kept. The number OF
persons granted emblems during the
same period last year was 23s. Dur
ing the first week of March more
than $50 have been enrolled and
henceforth these owners will breed
their animals to purebred sires only
and will use breeding methods lead
ing to further livestock improvement.
These sales have the endorse
ment of the Kentucky Collge OF Ag-
the banks OF the state and
the county agents, and all indica-
tons point towards a most success
full sale.

Weeds Sometimes Smother Alfalfa

Weeds Sometimes Smother Alfalfa
Seeded In Spring
Spring seeding of alfalfa in Ken
lucky is not as reliable as summer
seeding because weeds may prove
so troublesome that the crop is
smothered, crop specialists at the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station have stated in reply TO in
quiries from over the State. How
ever, on land which is adapted to
alfalfa and which is inocculated,
the chances of getting a stand by
following the methods generally
practiced with clover are excellent,
it is said.
This is especially true If Glow
,er seed drill is used and the seeding
done as soon as the ground can be
worked" e. ]. Kinney, slid. "The
cost of seeding in this way is much
less than the cost of summer seed
ing and the method is well worth a
trial. If failure results, the field
can be reseeded again in August.
Weeds are apt to be most trouble
some if the spring-seeded alfalfa is
sown without. a nurse crop since the
weed seeds are near the surface in
freshly-worked ground and ready
to grow. Early seeding, which
gives the alfalfa a start on the
weeds, is advisable"
The station workers have sue
ceeded in keeping weeds and grasses
out of spring-sown alfalfa but it
has been at the cost of large
amounts Of labor for clipping and
cultivatin while no hay was obtain
ed the first year, it was added.
In one case on the station farm,
where spring-sown alfalfa was COM
pletely destroyed by weeds, which
could not be controlled, the ground
was rebroken and cultivated fire.
quently until the alfalfa was seeded
in August. The crop was compare
lively free of weeds for three years
and produced an average of a little
more than one. and one-half tons of
hay an acre in each cutting, it was
said.

POOR Tractor fabrication Causes

er minor troubles can be corrected
easily with little or no damage to
the machine but when proper lubri-
cation Is neglected, a reduction in
the lifetime of the machine is al
most sure to result, they say.
Included among the points which
they have outlined in a number of
fabrication suggestions are the fol-
lowing:

Seasonal Tips For Gardeners
Garden seeds will give best re-
suits if not covered too deeply when
planted. One-half an inch is best
for the average seed, garden special
lists at the College of Agriculture
say.
Beans do best when planted the
last half of April in the driest soil
in the garden. Stringless, Green
Pod and Bountiful are good varie-
ties of bush beans while Kentucky
Wonder and Lazy Wife are the
recommended varieties of pole
beans.
Owing to the small area involved.
more fertilizer is apt to be applied
to the garden than is necessary
Eleven ounces for each 100 square
feet is equivalent to 800 pounds an
acre while SO ounces for each 100
square feet is equivalent to 1000
pounds an acre.
Beans are easily killed by frost
and should not be planted before
April 20. If successive paintings
are made until August, steady sup
ply of this vegetable will be insured.
Wood ashes and pulverized tobac-
co stems will furnish a cheap source
Of potash, an element that is need

In most cases the ground color is a
soft canary yellow or old ivory tint:

That the prehistoric potters OF the
Casas Grandes were skilled model

series of vessels representing ami

Through the use of painted lines
