RAMS IN DEMAND
WITH GOOD SHEEP PROFITS,

Lexington, Ky. Good profits that
have been made from sheep in Ken
lucky during the last year have helped
create a marked interest among farm
ers in the value Of purebred rams for
flock improvement, according to l.. ].
Horlacher, in charge of sheep work at
the College of Agriculture. Numerous
inquiries are being received from
farmers in different sections of the
state requesting the college and coun-
ty agricultural agents to assist them
in finding purebred rams that can be
purchased for use during the fall
breeding season, he said. Rams of the
type desired are scarce and indications
are that prices for them will be rather
high, he added.
Reports being received from count
agents in various sections of the state
are considered good indications of the
rapid way in which many farmers are
replacing the scrub rams on their
farms. with purebred. Crittenden
county farmers who are cooperating
with County Agent John A. Spencer
are carrying out an intensive cam
pingn for the introduction of more
purebred rams in that section of the
| state Hampshires seem to be in de-
mand, orders for Is registered rams
o fthis breed having ben made up tC
the present time.
Three purebred rams of the Hamp-
shire breed have been ordered by Liv-
'ngston county farmers, according tC
County Agent L. c. Pace. who adds
that several more probably will be
placed in the county. e. A. Whalin
county agent of Ballard county. has
a request for an extra good Hampshire
ram while II. j. Children, Marion
county agent, reports that another
purebred Southdown recently ha
been added to the purebred rame al
"eady in that county.
In Wayne county, County Agent II
]. Hayes, together with n number Q
farmers who are cooperating, are put
ting on 4 campaign for the use of NOR
purebred rams. Rambouiletts are pop
ular in that county in vie wof the fac
that they ahve demonstrated their su
perior ability to improve the commo
mountain sheep. 1t is probable tina
several Rambouillet rams will be use
in that county this fall, he said

KENTUCKY WHEAT CONTAINS
BAD MIXTURE OF VARIETIES.

Lexington, Ky. The majority of
seed wheat sown in Kentucky during
the last year has been a mixture OF
three or more varieties according to
Ralph Kenney, a member of the Col
lege of Agriculture agronomy depart
ment. This factor, no doubt, has con-
tributed toward the low yields which
have been obtained in some sections
Of the state. Pure seed invariably
yields higher than a mixture of sew
eral strains, he added.
AT the present time, seed from Ash
land, the new pedigreed and high
yielding variety developed at the Ken
lucky Experiment Station, is the pur-
est to be found in the state. Despite
the wide distribution of this strain
over Kentucky, an inspection of sc
fields of it during the present summer
showed that it contained less than one
per cent. of any other wheat in nine
out of every ten fields where it was
grown.
I'm Central Kentucky where consid-
cradle Fultz wheat is grown, actual
counts made this summer Shove that
wheat seed purchased under the name
of Fultz contained as much as 80 per-
cent. bearded wheat whereas Fultz is
not bearded.
I'm the Purchase section of Western
Kentucky, where carlots of wheat seed
are purchased from Missouri, the in
spection showed that fields. sown with
seed supposed to be pure Fultz con-
tanned 80 to 40 per cent. bearded red
chaff and about 20 per cent bearded
white chaff. OF the remaining 40 to SO
per cent, at least half of it was found
to be smooth red chaff wheat.
"In Todd, Christian and Logan
counties, located in Southwestern
Kentucky where Gill wheat is popular,
this variety, although perhaps pure at
one time, was found to montain Sc per
cent. smooth red char wheat of which
one-half or more was of an early May
variety"

more than unskilled labor, that in

SMOS PAY BIG PROFITS.

When you make a time deposit at
your bank you have in mind the in
terest you will collect at the end of
the year. When you buy stocks and
bonds you have in mind dividends. In
other words, you are thinking about
the return you will get on your in
vestment in terms Of interest.
Why not think OF the silo in this
way? Usually when you think of a
silo you think Of It as o means Of pro-
ducing more milk and butter fat Why
not translate this into terms OF in
terest? Let us consider the silo as an
investment and see what interest 1t
will return.
Take a 100-ton silo as the size found
on the average farm. 1t will requare
the product OF ten acres Of corn to fill
this silo. II this corn yields 40 bush
els per acre, 400 bushels of corn goes
into the silo. Now compare the feed
ing value OF the 100-ton Of silage with
the value OF the crop had the-corn
been harvested and sold and the stalks
been pastured.
The present feeding value OF silage
is about IS per ton: 100 tons are worth
$500 Remember that this includes all
the cost OF putting the silage into the
silo. in other words. you should be
able buy silage from your neighbor
at this price. The value OF the same
feed in terms OF mature corn and pas
tured corn stalks would be:
Shelled Corn, 400 bu at soc $4,000
To acres Corn Stalks at 81 =. 1000
Total Feeding Value 900. $4,000
Now we will have to figure in the
cost OF husking and cribbing the corn
conservatively, this is 5 cents pei
hushel or 500 for the crop which must
lie charged up against the feeding
value, leaving 1920 as the net return
Thus II is seen that when the CROP
is put in the silo II is worth just $3.50
more than when It is harvested and
rastured
