Rye Is Most Excellent
Crop to Pasture Swine

Rye probably is the best crop to use
for fall, winter and spring pasture for
hogs. BY putting In successive plant
inGs from two to four weeks apart II
Is possible to have fresh pasture all
the time. Seeding for pasture should
be much heavier than for grain crop
from three to four bushels an acre
on good soil. Pasturing probably can
t.gin six weeks after seeding, and may
continue, II the rye is not covered with
q ow, until the following April.
Hog raisers can kill two birds with
one stone by blowing under barn lots
and putting in such crops as rye. In
the first place, hogs need good succu-
lent pasture as much Of the time as
possible, and in the second place they
need protection against internal para
sites. such as roundworms, the eggs Of
which remain In the soil. Turning
over the soil In the lots helps to get
rid Of the pests, and the crop Of for
age makes II a profitable operation. In
addition to providing cheap protein
feed, pasture crops aid as laxative and
require the hogs to take certain
amount Of exercise which is necessary

Control Measures for
Flag Smut Of Wheat
Several Ways Outlined for
Holding Disease in Check.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Flag smut Of wheat, a disease that
has been known by its presence
throughout the world for many years,
was first discovered in the United
States In some fields of wheat in nli-
nois In 1919. Although the disease has
not caused much loss In the infested
area, the area Is gradually enlarging
and indications are that 1t may become
serious disease unless adequate con-
troll measures are put into effect. The
symptoms of flag smut and suggested
control measures are discussed in De
partment Circular 273, just issued by
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture.
Flag smut appears as black stripes
running 'lengthwise in the leaf and
sheaths of the wheat plant which be-
come twisted and rarely produce
head. Infected plants are usually more
or less dwarfed. The disease may be
held In check and reduced in quantity
by judicious quarantine measures, seed
treatment, crop rotation and other
sanitary measures, and by growing re
sistant varieties of wheat through ex-
periments a number Of varieties have
been found which are highly resistant
70 or possibly even immune from the
disease. 1t is possible that by the use
of such varieties, kept free from sus-
ceptible mixtures, the disease may be
entirely eradicated.
Those interested may secure copy
of this circular free Of charge, as long
as the supply lasts, from the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Washington.

Cure for Blackhead Has
Never Been Discovered

The United States Department of
Agriculture has this to say concerning
blackhead: "No positive cure for
blackhead has been found. AS In the
case of all other Infectious diseases,
the sick bird should Immediately be
removed from the flock to prevent a
further spread of the disease, and II
very sick It Is best to kill 1t and burn
the body. Clean out the roosting place
and spread lime In the places most
frequented by the turkeys. Keep a
disinfectant in the drinking water; !;
potassium permanganate Is most often
used, a sufficient quantity Of the crys-
tails being added to the water to give
IT wine color, which for every gallon
Of water will take about as much Of
the chemical as can be placed on q
dime. If the turkeys are being fed
heavily, their ration should be re-
duced, as overfeeding predisposes to
the disease. The feeding of sour milk
has been found to be of advantage In
keeping turkeys in good health and In
reducing the activities of the organ
isms causing blackhead"

Sweet Clover Excellent
Pasture for Dairy Cows

Sweet clover makes an excellent
pasture for dairy cows. Much moDe
feed can be grown on an acre Of sweet
clover pasture than on an acre of blue
grass pasture. After the plants get
well started, drought has very little
effect on its growth. However, sweet
clover will not grow on sour soil and 1t
will be a waste of time and money to
make the attempt unless your land is
sweet. Better have your farm bureau
test your soil and IL 1t is sour apply
several tons Of ground limestone per
acre.
1t Is best to SOW It in the spring
with barley or oats. Usually by about
September the sweet clover will be
about foot high and can then be pas
ture for about six weeks. The next
summer 1t can be pastured the entire
season. SEeet clover is biannual
and will last only two years. The seed
should be inoculated before II Is sown.

Says Villa Was Generous.
"As long as Villa stayed in Tor
reon and lived with me, which was
about year, he treated me with
every consideration, and gave me 500
pesos month for expenses. 1t was
toward the end of this year that our
little daughter was born. villa showed
great love for her, and named her
Evangeline.
"The end Of our short romance
came when the federal troops drove
villa to the mountains In 1915 and
l and my baby were left In Torreon
with no means Of support. I had to
go to work as a seamstress, although
l had never done such work before.
"In 1921, when villa surrendered to
General Martinez, I hurried to Tlahua-
lilo to see him, and he gave me some
money and assured me my troubles
were all over. He promised he would
send some one to Torreon to arrange
for residence for me. but this prom
ise was never kept.
Expects to Be Left Out.
in spite of all that has happened I
must say that throughout our rela-
tions villa was always very kind to
me and seemed to want me to love
him, or at least return In part his own
love for me.
"At present do not know what ar
rangements he has made for me and
the little girl, but do not think we
will get anything from his very rich
estate"
The story of Juana Torres de villa
has been told in several ways. She
was a beautiful gifl Of pure Spanish
stock, educated In the North. Her
family became impoverished and she
took a position In store at Torreon,
where villa saw her In 1913. He
seized her. She told him she would
kill herself unless he married her, and
he willingly went through the cere-
mony. According to most Of the
stories, she grew to love her captor.
A baby girl was born, and villa sent
mother and child to Los Angeles.
Death Reported In Los Angeles.
1t was reported in 1917 that she
had gone to Chihuahua in the hope
Of rejoining him, and had been cap
tured by the Carranzistas when they
took the city. sent to Mexico City. and
there shot by Villas enemies.
Later reports. however, told Of her
death in Los Angeles. The child has
lived at the Canutillo ranch since
then.
Four other children Of villa are said
! to be known, with their mothers, all
of whom are living in Canutillo.

Hog Prices Were
Very Low in 1922
Pure Bred Swine Business
Suffered Depression With
Other Farm Branches.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Sale prices of pure bred hogs reached
q very low level in 1922, according to
a recent survey made by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Analysis Of the reports on the sale OF
8O.382 pure bred hogs in 1922 indicates
that the pure bred swine business has
suffered depression along with other
branches of agriculture The reports
received present a fairy accurate pic
ture of tho business, in the opinion OF
department. officials, although they do
not reprc>ent a large number Of AMI
mails.
Number and Price Of Hogs.
The number Of hogs Of the FIVE
breeds on which reports were received
are: Berkshire, 1.762; Chester White.
S.922: Duroc Jersey, $3.50; Hamp-
shire, 1910; and Poland China, 6.232.
The average price received for each
breed, including all ages and both
sexes at both private and auction sales
was: Berkshire, $30.57; Chester
White, $42.72; Duroc Jersey, $45.91;
Hampshire. $44.42; and Poland China,
$41.94. Auction sale averages were
from $40 to $25 above those sold at
private treaty. This difference, 1t is
pointed out is due partly to the large
number of pigs under eight months
Of age sold privately, whereas auction
sales are usually confined largely to
more mature animals and involve q
larger number Of bred gifts, service
boars and bred sows.
Highest Prices by Breeds.
Sales reported at less than $3.50 per
head we're omitted In calculating the
averages, as sales at such low figures
were not considered to be legitimate
pure ored sales. The highest prices by
breeds indicated by the reports were:
Chester White, $740; Poland China.
$500; Hampshire, $500; Duroc Jersey,
$3.50; and Berkshire, $3.50
OF the. 30,382 hogs reported upon,
42t brought $3.50 or more. These were
distributed by breeds as follows: Berk-
shire, 10; Chester White, 1853; Duroc
Jersey, 1870; Hampshire. AZ; Poland
China, 81. A few bred sows and gifts
sold above $3.50, but the average price
was about $50.
This survey is new feature of the
new service work Of the bureau Of
agricultural economics, of the depart
mcnt, and Is the first of a series Of
surveys to be made at intervals Of six
months.

Sweet Clover Is Best of
Different Honey Plants

Score another for sweet clover which
not so long ago was regarded as nox-
ious roadside weed. Sweet clover Is
the greatest honey plant In the United
States, according to G. G. Matthews OF
Illinois university's division of bee cul-
ture, who points out that the several
varieties of the plant furnish success
sive bee pasture from spring until
frosts in the fall.
"The yellow biennial comes along
about the time dandellons go out of
bloom" says Mr.. Matthews, "and so
tides bees over the critical period just
before the blooming of white clover.
The white biennial blooms after white
clover and lasts well into August. HUI
BAN, the white annual, begins to bloom
soon after the first Of August and con-
tinues until killed by frost. The bee
keeper can keep constant honey flow
In his community II he can but per-
suade the farmers around to grow all
three varieties of sweet clover"
Mr.. Matthews tells Of an Illinois bee
keeper who furnished sweet clover
seed to farmers when 1t was So a
pound until there were more than 400
acres within reach Of his bees. From
this acreage he received share Of the
seed crop and many tons of honey.
Some of his colonies yielded nearly
500 pounds.
"Grow sweet clover" Is Mr.. Mat
thews' advice to beekeepers. "Furnish
seed to your neighbors, study methods
of getting 1t started and persuade road
supervisors to leave 1t standing along
the roadside"

The cry is still heard that the salvation Of
Europe depends on the United States, and both
Great Britain and France in their recent ex-
change of correspondence have been very speci-
fc in the effort to place responsibility squarely
on this country. They repeatedly allude to the
amount of money they owe the United States but
are studiously silent regarding the immense com.
mercial and territorial advantages they acquired
from Germany in Africa and the Pacific islands.
They make no mention of the fact that the Unit
ed States exacted no penalties from Germany
and sought none of the spoils of victory.
Instead of fixing their reparations claims 40
cording to the principles set forth in the Yer
sailles treaty and stating the amount, the Brit
ish say, in effect, that the United States is de
manding payment of its war loans to them, and
that they must look to Germany for the money,
France, likewise, insists that her own bill for
damages must be increased according to the
amount of her American loan for which the
United States may demand repayment. Thus an
attempt is made to put this country in the POSI-
ton of keeping Europe in a perpetual state OF
misery in order that we may not lose some
money.
It is an ingenious scheme, but our citizens
ought to bear firmly in mind that we had moth
ing whatever to do with the causes of the war,
that every life we have sacrificed and every dol
lar we heve spent was lost by reason OF Euro
pean rivalries, and that every dollar OF re
mitted debts must come out of the pockets OF
our people in the shape Of taxes for the redemp-
ton of Liberty bonds. If congress should sud
denly vote additional expenditures and CORE
spending taxes of $500, 0 0,000, its members
would be unceremoniously voted out of office.
Yet our tempers are scarcely ruffled when the
British and French governments suggest that we
give them a %gratuity of n similar amount. what
they ask is to be relieved from the consequences
of their own unwise diplomacy, which finally en-
quilted the world in the great war and is largely
responsible for their condition today.
