All vegetables and garden wastes
should be saved for the hens.
Laying hens require about three
times as much lime and mineral mat
ter as is furnished in grain and meat
food, which must be supplied by green
feed such as clover, alfalfa and oyster
shells. If this lime making material
is not supplied. there will be fewer
eggs and eggs with soft shells. Grit
also must be furnished to aid in
digestion and it is also good policy
to have charcoal available. Charcoal
is an absorber of gases and aid
digestion.
New Wheat Helps In Antitrust
Fight-University of Minnesota plant
breeders declare that Kota wheat,
which was developed by the Nort:l
Dakota Experiment Station and the
United States Department. ofAgri-
culture, is proving of untold value for
breeding purposes because of its rust
resistant qualities. In the cooperative
experiments carried on at University
Farm, Kota has been crossed with Mar
quis, and as result numerous wheat
families, which have the rust, resist
-ance of Kota and apparently the
strength of straw of Marquis, arc
now available.
In radio talk given recently at the
Minneapolis Broadcasting Station,
J. A. Clark, an agronomist in charge
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, but now doing graduate
work in plant breeding at University
Farm, said that data collected during
five years show that Kota has rusted
so per cent. In fields trials from five
experiment stations in North Dakota,
Kota has yielded from two to five
bushels per acre more than Marquis.
In comparison of nearly 40 comparable
milling tests, Kota has shown favor
able milling qualities.
Cali the tests seem to indicate"
said Mr.. Clark, "that Kota is well
adapted to the drier sections it is of
great value and will probably take the
place of much of the durum now
grown. Unfortunately it is not well
adapted to the humid sections of
Minnesota and Wisconsin"
