Rosen Rye Superior as
Fall Pasture for Hogs

Rosen rye is coming to be recog-
nized as n of the best late fall pas
ture crops for swine, say the farm crop
specialists at Iowa State college. The
crop is especially adapted to poor and
under-cultivated soil. Rosen rye, which
was developed at the Michigan expert
ment station. has been found superior
to other varieties at the Iowa station.
Rye finds one of Its best uses as fall
pasture for swine. Fol- this purpose it
should be seeded during tue latter part
of August or in the month of Septem-
Der. A seeding Of from ~ mt a half
to three bushels per ncre is recon-
mended. Rye winters very well and
can be used again in the spring as a
pasture oil harvested for grain. Rye
may also be ground and used In a
slop as a hog feed.

Anti-B Burberry Plans
Have Been Enlarged
Department of Agriculture
Adds 800 Field Men.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrfculture.)
Over 800 field men were added on
July 2 to the force conducting tho
original farm-tO-farm survey for COM
mon barberry bushes under the direc-
tion Of the United States Department
of Agriculture. 1t is planned to COM
plcte the survey of all territory in the
eight states west Of the Mississippi
river which are in the barberry-eradi-
cation area by the end of the year.
Field work has been going forward
since May, attention being given main
ly to resurvey work and the treating
of %sprouting and escaped bushes with
chemicals. The use of common salt or
crushed rock salt applied to the crown
of the bushes is finding favor among
farmers because of its efficiency in kill
Ing the plants and its ease of applica-
ton. A recent report to the depart
ment stated that out of % bushes
treated with salt in n single area, but
W o were found on the resurvey that
were not completely killed.
Surveys will also be conducted In
five states east of the Mississippi river,
but present indications are that II will
not be possible to complete the original
farm-to-farm survey in this section in
less than two years. A number Of re-
surveys will be made to eradicate
many of the escaped bushes, sprouts
and seedlings which may have APP
peared in the area in which the original
survey has been completed in the sec.
tons already surveyed.

Killing Potato Bugs by
Using Arsenate of Lead

Arsenate of lead is one of the best
poisons to use, and for a liquid spray
should be mixed at the rate of Is
pounds of powdered arsenate of lead
to so gallons of water. In small
amounts one-half ounce or one heap
Ing tablespoonful to a gallon of water
gives the same strength. A little water
should first be added to the powder
and stirred until 1t makes a thin
smooth paste. This paste can then be
stirred into the required amount of
water and the solution is ready for
use.
With a good buster or dust gun n
mixture of one part powdered arsenate
OF lead and fifteen parts of air-slaked
or hydrated lime will be quite effec-
tive in killing the beetles.
A mixture of n part of paris green
to twenty parts Of lime is also effec-
tive. If no buster Is available the
mixture can be applied by shaking 1t
on the plants through a c%heese-cloth
bag. The dust sticks to the plants

Garlic Cause of
Big Wheat Loss
Makers Of Flour Discrimi-
nate Against Product
Containing It.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Wheat containing the bulblets of
garlic or wild onion is Disseminated
against by millers and often is sold ut
a price ranging from 20 to so per cent
lower than No. 2 Soft Red Winter, ac-
cording to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The farmer in
the Atlantic coast region from Mnssa-
chusetts to Georgia and as far inland
as Missouri, where garlic is prevalent,
harvests the garlic bulblets with his
These are about the size and
shape Of wheat grains, and the two
are difficult to separate, so that wheat
containing them can be sold only at n
discount. Bread made from garlicky
flour, especially IL eaten warm, has a
pronounced odor and garlicky flavor.
The money loss from garlic runs into
millions of dollars annually.
Damage and Loss.
A survey made by the department
of the damage and loss resulting from
this weed In the state of Maryland and
part of Pennsylvania where 1t is par
ticularly bad, shows that practically
all wheat produced in Maryland is in
tested with garlic. Garlicky wheat has
a decidedly lower milling value than
free from garlic, due to the
greater risk from spoilage, to extra
cleaning or preparation required for
milling. to the lower flour yields OBJ
tanned, to the greater cost of manu-
facture. and to the lower market value
of the flour product. Discounts for
flour made from garlicky wheat vary
from 20 cents to 81 a barrel.
BulbIets Sown Each Year.
Methods of eradication through
readily applicable cultural practices
suggested by the department have
proved to be successful wherever en-
ployed, yet the survey shows that
large quantities of the bulblets are be-
Ing sown each year. through failure to
get clean seed or through a failure to
realize the extent of in~festation In
the seed being sown. Estimates made
from samples taken from grain drills
In the Maryland fields in the fall of
1921. show that as high as 2OO,OO
bulblets to the acre were sown with
the wheat In one case, the minimum
being around 5000 per acre. Nearly
every farmer interviewed admitted
that there was a small amount of gar
lie In his wheat, but frequently this
small amount upon analysis proved to
be 90 or more bulblets for each pound
Of wheat.

More Summer Fattening
of Cattle Is Supgested

More summer feeding of young cat.
tie for market is suggested by w. II.
Peters Of tie animal industry division,
Minnesota College Of Agriculture, who
has been watching market quotations
on granted cattle and finds hat they
are higher now than at any time yet
this year. Market reports for the last
ten years also show, he says, that in
variably good granted cattle, espe-
cially yearllngs. have sold for high
prices through August, September and
October of each year. He believes
there is a suggestion in this circum-
stance that should be used to advan-
tage by Minnesota farmers.
Professor Peters does not overlook
the objections raised to the f~attening
Of cattle on grain through the summer
months. There is, of course, the DIFF
ficulty of securing suitable feeder cat
tie in the spring. Ordinarily cattle on
feed do not make good gains through
the hot weather and fly season; also.
all available labor on the farm Is need
ed for farm-crops work through the
summer season. But he believes 1t Is
possible to overcome these objections,
and against them there Is the great
advantage of a high price for the in-
ished product through the late sum-
mer and early fall months.
Summer feeding" he says, should
perhaps be confined to yearlings or
baby beeves, as 1t Is the handy weight
fat beefy carcass from the 1000 to l.
compound steer that is In greatest de-
mand through the summer and early
fall By starting in with a group of
good beefy calves In the fall when
they are weaned and carrying them
through the winter or alfalfa or clover
hay and silage with n medium grain
ration, not getting them on full feed
until in April or May and then push
ing them until sold In August or Sep
tember. the feeding of such cattle can
be accomplished economically. Many
feeders Of baby beef cattle would be
money ahead had they carried cattle
that were sold last May and June until
now.
"By giving yearling cattle the run Of
a darkened, well-bedded shed during
the daytime in summer, SO as to pro-
tect them Irom tne Hies, anu turning
them out to n good grass pasture at
night, at the same time keeping them
In a full feed Of grain, they will make
almost as good gains as in winter. The
labor of caring for them is also some
what less and the usual higher price
received for granted cattle in late
summer and early fall will more than
make IN the difference In the higher
cost of labor and slower gains made"

Keep Seed Grain Pure;
Rogue Foreign Plants

AS you travel along the country
roads how many grain fields do you
see which have not a liberal sprink-
ling of other kinds of grain in them?
In the winter wheat you will usually
see some heads of rye summing them
selves five or six inches above the
level of the field, and in the oats oc-
casional punches of silvery whiskers
give away the hiding place of stray
barley plants, declares L. B. Holden
of the agronomy department of the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
"While 1t is difficult to keep the
grain absolutely pure. the mixture can
be kept reasonably clean by going
through a portion of the field, after
the grain is headed out, and pulling
the foreign plants. A large enough
patch should be rogued to provide
seed for next years acreage. By fol-
lowing this method each second or
third year the grain can be kept
nearly pure" he declares.

Pasturing Sweet Clover
to Prevent Woodiness

Sweet clover has been condemned
by many because 1t grows too rank
M becomes so woody that stock will
not eat it. This is true If 1t is not
pastured heavily enough to keep 1t
down. But II enough animals are kept
on 1t so that II does not get more
thnn nine or ten inches high, new
shoots will be produced continuously
which will be tender and palatable. II
enough stock is not available to keep
the sweet clover at the proper height.
part OF II should be moved for hay,
say the agronomlsts of the Nebraska
Agricultural college. II should be
moved high enough (leave stubble Mt
least eight inches tall) so that plenty
OF live buds are left on the side of
the stems to produce a new crop. I'm.

shoots from the crown after 1t has
