GOVERNMENT WOOL
GRADES NOW USED
IN STANDARDIZING
Every State in Union and Sew
eral Foreign Countries
Adopt l.. 5. Plan.

More than 500 sets OF the tenta-
tive wool grades prepared by the
United States department OF agri-
culture are now in use in every
state in the union in studying and
demonstrating wool grades and
wool grading Several foreign
countries also have copies OF the
grades.
The preparation Of these grades
is in response 10 long-fclt need
Of standardizing the various kinds
of wool Before formulating the
grades the department OF agricul-
ture made a careful study Of the
market grades and preferences, and
the present tentative grades have
generally accepted by producers and
others interested in the wool indus
try as a good basis for establishing
permanent standards. Further
tests and studies OF the tentative
grades will be made before stan
dards are permanently fixed.
Trained Graders.
The tentative grades are used in
AGRICULTURAL colleges and IN voca-
tional training departments OF other
institutions. Several textile col
leges have also found the grades Of
value in their instruction classes IN
raw materials County agricultural
agents and other extension workers
use the sets in demonstrating grad
ing and marketing practices.
The department Of agriculture
employs trained wool graders to
demonstrate the sets and 10 conduct
grading Investigations in wool
growing sections. Full cooperation
is given by state marketing bureaus.
Large quantities of wool owned by
wool POOLS have been graded and
marketed according 10 the stan
dards. and producers generally
have found that Standardization Is
an important factor in determining
the prices paid for their product.

GROW CowPEAs IN ROTATION

CoWpeas are excellent crops to
follow wheat and oats i'm a rotation.
AS soon as the small-grain crop is
harvested and removed, a crop OF
peas may be planted. If the season
IS suitable A good crop may be ex-
pected. Few crops will endure hot
weather as peas and very few are
equal to it when it comes to stand

A survey of the larger mari de-
posts of Cass county, Mich is be-
ing started by the Cass county farm
bureau The object of the survey
is 10 assist farmers in getting in
closer touch with owners of mari
deposits and also 10 assist them In
securing mari for lining purposes
The survey viii show where the
mari is being taken out together
with the owners name and his
quality Of mari. 1t is asked that
every one who has mari will notify
the county agent. who is compiling
the data on the surrey for the ben
eft OF all the farmers Of the county.
Tests of the mari are made free
of charge TO any farmer by the
Michigan Agricultural college. Sam
pies should be sent 20 the county
agent at CassopOlis.
Extension Tests.
At present there are about 20
places in the county where mari IS
being taken out to any extent.
Calls reach the farm bureau Of
flee constantly from farmers for in
formation regarding mari deposits
and mari excavating machinery.
Several mari digging outfits are now
at work in the county getting out
mar II is hoped that a reasonably
priced outfit for digging mari will
be placed on the market this sum-
mer
Extensive tests ARE now being
made in Cass county Ind other
counties by a company which ex-
poets to put out an outfit within
reach of many farmers and still be
practical. Just as soon as the COM
pany which Is making the tests
finds that their outfit will do the
work demonstrations will be ar
ranged to permit farmers to see for
themselves how the mari excavator
works.

TELLS BEST WAY
TO Use STRENGTH
New Jersey and Wisconsin
Stations Tell How Best to
Apply Fertilizer.

recommendation as TO the best
methods Of applying fertilizer TO po-
tatoes and corn have recently been
issued by the New Jersey and Wis
consin experiment. stations.
II has been quite generally realiz-
ed that tho manner in which ferti-
lizer is placed in or on the soil has
much 10 do with the success Of tho
crop. but information is only just
now becoming available as to which
methods are best.
The New Jersey station reports
1S2 bushels OF potatoes form an all
in-4the-row application of fertilizer:
1913 bushels when two-thirds was
used along the row at planting and
the rest as a later side dressing; and
146 bushels when the same amount
Of fertilizer was broadcasted The
check-plot yielded 139 bushels. II
was observed that Injury following
large applications of fertilizer may
be due to the location Of the fer
tilizer rather than TO the amount of
fertilizer.
Guard Amount.
In reporting the results of three
years study OF fertilizer application
to corn, the Wisconsin station states
that the largest yields We're secured
by placing the fertilizer in the hill
or along the row-in the case OF
drilled ccrn-slightly above the seed
In fact, 100 pounds per acre used in
this way gave better results than 400
pounds brOadcasted.
Both potatoes and corn need plen-
~ OF readily available plant food IN
the early stages Of growth. The ex-
pertinent stations emphasize thc
need for protecting the seed from
direct contact with the fertilizer. and
also the Importance Of using machin-
cry which viii distribute the fertil-
izer properly.

Farm work in Texas. Oklahoma and
Tennessee has been delayed by rains

because Of continued cool weather.
Corn planting has begun in Mich

DECLARE JOHNSON
GRASS DANGEROUS
Purdue University Experts
Warn Farmers Against
Planting Seed.

Information received by the Pur-
due University Agricultural Expert
ment station indicates that a seed
company in one Of the southern
states is interested in selling John
son gress seed on the Indiana mar
ket
Although Johnson grass makes
good hay. il is at the same time an
extremely noXious weed. that is al
most impossible to eradicate. John
son grass is already established In
Indiana as serious weed. II is
known TO be troublesome as far
north as Vigo county. particularly
in the vicinity of Terre Haute,
where the farmers contend that II
is one OF the worst weeds in the
county. For this reason farmers
who may be contemplating sowing
Johnson grass as a hay crop are
warned that the plant IS an anger
GUS weed and a menace TO profit
able agriculture.

Small Grains Good

Winter-wheat prospects are good
in most states. but green bugs and
lodging are reported to be causing
some damage in Oklahoma. Spring
wheat seeding is practically com
pleted in Minnesota and the Dakotas.
A considerable acreage will be
"stubbled in" in Montana other
small grains are generally doing
well.
Early potatoes in Virginia were
not damaged by the April frost as
much as was at first thought. In
New England and the Lake Region
the acreage to be devoted to the
fate crop is still uncertain.
live Stock Suffers
Live stock on ranges have suffered
from exposure In the Rocky Mount
aims and the western edge of the
plains, but losses will probably be
confined TO very young animals or
those I'm poor condition Hay Is
somewhat scarce and the movement
TO summer ranges has begun. In
other parts of the country live
stock are generally in good con-
ditlon.
The supply Of farm labor is SUI
ficient TO meet the demand in most
places at present. In the Misslssi-
ppi delta all available labor is being
used for levee work. In Louisiana
the overlooked areas have been ex-
tended by crevasses, more than
100000 acres of improved farm land
now being flooded.

is now regarded as one of the worst
weeds in the southern states and in
California. During recent years ii
has ranged northward and It is now
established as a weed in Iowa and
Indiana.
1T would be foolhardy on The
part OF Indiana farmers 70 inten-
tionally introduce so dangerous a
weed upon their farms. Where il
already occurs I'm abundance, John
son grass is utilized for hay az in
the black-land belt OF Mississippi
and Texas, but the plant should
never be grown Intentionally" say
botanists at Purdue.
Experiments Made.
There are a number of better hay
crops that can be used instead OF
Johnson grass. Susan grass. for
instance. is practically an annual
form OF Johnson grass that is never
troublesome as a weed. Experiments
have demonstrated that Sudan
grass may be sowed in Indiana from
mid-June until early July. Further
information concerning Sudan grass
can be secured by addressing the
Purdue Agricultural Experiment sta
ton at Lafayette.
If Johnson grass has already
been planted. the land should he
plowed without delay and planted

the Johnson grass 30 develop In the
corn rows or along fencerows
With such excellent plants as soy
beans. Sudan grass. millet and
sorgham at our disposal there is
no reason for introducing so dan
gerous a plant as Johnson grass and
any attempt in this direction should
be discouraged. Indiana IS already
plentifully supplied with noxious
