IL COW TESTING GROUPS
ADDED. TO STATES LIST

When the Minnesota dairymen's mil
lennium is ushered in there will be q
COW testing association for every co.
operative creamery in the state.
The way seems long and arduous
but progress is being made. e. A
Hanson Of University Farm, in charge
Of testing associations in Minnesota
reports the organization Of II new as.
sociations in the last five months, OF
an increase Of 85 per cent
Reasons for this growth, says Mr.
Hanson, are to be found in the fact
that dairying gives gratifying returns
at regular intervals that the keeping
Of records removes all guesswork and
puts things on a business basis that
under the testing system the unprofit-
able COW IS Weeded out, better feed
ing and care encouraged, and the val
ue OF surplus stock from cows having
creditable records increased.

STATE WOOL POOL s ..s
FOR 1921 PLANNED
Marketing Committee Urges Pern1a.
nent Organization to Make Cash
Advances on Clips y

ST. Paul, March 22.--MinnesOta wool
men should market their 1922 clip
through a state pool to get the best
prices, in. the opinion of committee
men who met here at the call Of the
Minnesota Farm Bureau federation tC
work out plans for a state wool
growers association. The committee
was organized following conference
of wool producers early this month.
County wool growers associations
should select the agency which they
desire to market their wool, the com
mittee declared in formal recommen.
dations, to be presented to the execu-
tive board of the federation here on
March 20. The recommendations urge
the organization of county wool pro.
ducers associations in all wool produc-
ing counties, and the strengthening of
all existing county wool associa tions,
Any selling agency selected to mar
ket Minnesota wool, the committee
recommended, must be required to pro
vide bonded warehouses, operate on
a cooperative commission basis, ar
range for substantial cash advances
on wool as soon as it enters the pool,
and furnish the individual grower
complete information as to grade,
quantity, and condition as soon as his
wool is graded, and then keep him in
touch with the activities of the pool.
Organization of permanent state.
wide wool growers association in the
fall Of 1922. and eventual establish
ment of one big national pool also was
recommended.

SEED TESTING is FREE
Send Samples to Your Agricultural
College for identification and
termination.

Although the testing of seed wheat
is a very simple process, 1t is n good
idea for any farmer to send sample
to the State Agricultural College Seed
Laboratory, asking at the u anne time
regarding the variety 'a:.d purity 81
the sample. q, 4. /: !,
There is no charge for this service
and every farmer ought to know wha,
he is planting and how strong it will
grow. a,.5s s59 sss3 5ssg. A;
To receive the greatest benefit from
this service, all persons sending in
samples of seed should plainly mark
each separate sample. A letter should
be mailed at the some time, stating the
number of samples submitted, how
each is marked and the. kind of test
deslred-whether for purity, germina.
ton, Identification or all three.
A still better way is to enclose an
ounce or SO Of each sample In en-.
vel0pes and enclose them in saast
sack with the letter inside the sack
It is always wise to send in all seed
samples just as early as possible. The
rush season in seed testing begins
about January Is and lasts until

WILL Your SEED WHEAT GROW;

srl ? Z - . : .
There are "a great many reasons
why wheat may not germinate, either
from dampness, from mold, from
disease, from being bin burnt etc,
and vet there are. very few farmers
who. take the precautions to count out
+ 100 seeds from various parts Of their
seed stock and test them for gerlni-
nation.
It is a very simple thing to do:
Take an ordinary plate or saucer,
fold in a piece. of cloth or ordinary
blotting paper; wet thoroughly and
keep damp for seven OF. eight days
and note the termination and growth
Of the 100 kernels. This will give you
the percentage. Wheat that merely
sprouts, within six or seven days and
does not throw out strong shoot and
root, should put you on your guard.
Tie chances are that something has
impaired the termination and you
should not SOW such wheat If you
don't test for termination, you may
sacrifice all, your profit. i If you de-
sire to have Your seed wheal tested
for you, send a sample. to the Seed
Laboratory at Your Agricultural Col
lege. There is no charge for these
tests. "a v#"iz>5rss1 E}s2% an

BIG SUMS SAVED FOR
FARMERS OF COUNTY
IN RAIL RATE CASE
Farm Bureau and Creameries Agency
Win Fight to Block Freight In
crease of $2O4, 900 i'm State

Prompt action by two farm organ
izations has saved the farmers of Mar
shall county $1,745, by forestalling an
increase in freight rates on dairy pro-
ducts s&fs.. za
Railroads serving this territory
proposed to make shippers Of perish
able products pay the cost of icing,
when shipments are in less than car
load lots, according to information
from the state farm bureau Office. It
is estimated that this extra expense
would have increased the cost of mar
keting the county's dairy products by
about - per cent. -,.-.. 80.
This county produces 727,12S pounds
of butter every year. 1t is estimated
that so per cent of the butter pro
sduced in Minnesota is marketed on the
big terminal markets of the east, and
that the average freight rate is 22
cents pound on less-than-carlots. On
this basis the freight bill paid by this
= county on butter every year amounts
to $17,451. An increase Of II per cent
on less-than-lot shipments would have
added $1,745 to this amount. In the
case Of the eight cooperative cream
cries in the county, it would have
meant direct reduction in net in.
come and a direct loss to their pa
irons. "- > .7 D." .-<
The practical value Of farm organ
izations was demonstrated this week
when the Minnesota Farm Bureau fed
GRAFTON received telegram from its
national organization, stating that the
railroads committee had decided -tc
abandon the proposed increase, at
least for the present.
Gwen if this proposed increase is
revived and put into effect in 1925
the fact that it has been blocked dt
the present time means 100000 to
Minnesota dairy farmers this year.
A. J. Mcclure, manager of the cream
cries association, said. "That one case
saved more money for the farmers OF
the state than the total cost of op
Grating both the creameries associa
tion and the farm bureau the entire
year."

NEW METHOD OF TESTING #s
CORN HIGHLY INDORSED

All corn growers should be vitally
interested IN q new method Of testing
corn for germinat ton. BY the new
method, say farm crops men of the
University OF Minnesota, corn can be
tested for germination just as rapidly
as by the ordinary ragdoll test, and,
in add dition, all ears affected BY dis
ease can be detected and discarded
along with the ones that are. weak or
dead. The method is simple and is

OUR WHEAT SOIL
NEEDS PHOSP HATES
"A Profitable Crop Depends Upon Good
Seed, Fertile Soil and Clean
Farming. "a

Nearly all Of the spring wheat land
has been cropped to one or another
of the small grains almost continu-i
Ously since it was first broken up The
result is that it is poor in humus and
plantfOOd and the soil is in poor phys
ical condition, some of it SO poor that
a good crop can no longer be obtained.
The very best way to correct this
condition is to grow wheat in rota-
>tion with other crops, especially le-
gumes or grass crops. All the ma
nure available should be added to the
soil.
Experiments conducted in Kansas.
show that on land where wheat had
been grown continually for ten years
that the yield was but 60 per acre,
but that when 211a tons of manure
was added annually, the yield was 1874
When a legume was added in a
three-year rotation with corn, the 25a
tons of manure per acre used, the yield
was increased to 25.6. In the same Sc
ries Of experiments conducted for Is
years on fields where broom grass
corn and wheat were alternated with
five tons of manure, every third year,
the yield was increased to 37.2. ,& 4
s. The rotation to be recommended for
your farm should have a cultivated
crop and a egume for every two grain
crops, as general thing. But, this
is not always possible, so you will
have to work out the best rotation for
your case according to conditions.
Every farmer, ought to try at leas
a little acid phosphate to convince
himself whether or not It will be
profitable. If the soil is deficient in
phosphates. the time will come when
this fertility will have to be restored
and it is much better to begin before.
the fertility is exhausted. ssa

.BARNYARD MANURE

Manure applied as q top dressing
should be spread evenly and lightly.
"A manure spreader is almost indispens-
able for this purpose, although with
care it can be spread by hand al
though much more laborious.
It Is usually best to apply it after
the ground is plowed and work it
into the soil with a disk and harrow
as the seed bed is prepared. Manure
does not decay as rapidly when plowed
under as when applied as q top dress
ing and is therefore not as beneficial.
Also, where 1t is plowed under there
is danger Of producing a loose open
seed. bed which may result in injury
to the crop by drying out. # sztF72.. 4.
Barnyard manure alone is strong
in nitrogen and while 1t has been
claimed that live stock on: the farm
will supply all Of the fertilizer neces-
sary for wheat, vet the bones Of the
animals sold from the farms re-
move more phosphates than a wheat
crop itself and 1t would be therefore
necessary to add phosphates either in
the shape Of 16 per cent acid phos-
phate at 200 pounds Or, better, . treble
super phosphate at the rate Of Is to
125 pounds per acre. These phosphates
will not be wasted even II put on IN
q larger ratio.
In other words, barnyard manure is
generally the most satisfactory ferti-
lizer for wheat but in most cases II
is more profitable to use It in con-
nection with acid phosphate. 5S
