Some Ways Of Using
Big Sweet Potatoes
Methods for Converting
Them Into Useful Products.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrculture.)
Methods of using diversified sweet
potatoes, or Jumbo" sweet potatoes,
which are produced in large number
when the growing season has been ull-
usually good constitute one of the
problems with which the United
States Department Of Agriculture is
concerned. The small or standard
market sizes of sweet potatoes, u. S.
grade No. and q. S. grade No. 2, find
more ready sale because they are suit
able for storing, canning, and shipping
TO distant markets.
When good growing conditions pre-
vail up to harvest time, oftentimes as
much as 40 per cent of the crop is
composed of overgrown potatoes, and
the development of profitable methods
for converting them into useful prod
ucts is therefore of great Importance.
Sweet potatoes rank second in impor-
lance of all vegetables grown in the
United States and are richer in car
bohydrates, especially starch, than any
other vegetable commonly grown. For
this reason they are a possible source
of many products containing or de-
rived from starch, such as potato flour,
dehydrated potatoes, starch, strip, al
cohol, vinegar, breakfast foods, and
various kinds of feeds. All Of these
products have been prepared but at
present no sweet-potato by-products in
dustry on a commercial scale exists in
this country.
A method for the commercial manu-
facture of sweet-potato strip, based
on laboratory and plant experimental
work, has been developed by the bu-
reau of chemistry of the United States
Department of Agriculture. While
this work has shown that the use of
this strip IS limited by its cost Of
manufacture as compared with that Of
other commonly used sirups, in any
emergency, when the price of sugar
and strip is greatly increased, it might
be possible to manufacture this strip
profitably and to the benefit Of Amer
lean agriculture. If a method for
manufacturing it more cheaply could
be devised the strip from sweet pota-
toes has distinct commercial POSSIBLE
tiles.

Poultry Manure Is Most
Valuable as Fertilizer

Poultry manure contains fertilizing
constituents which would cost 20 to
20 cents as commercial fertilizers. The
average night droppings of a hen are
30 to 40 pounds annually. A flock Of
100 hens at this rate would produce
$40 to $50 worth per year. To pre-
vent loss of the fertilizing constitu-
ents, sifted coal ashes may be used on
the dropping boards as an absorbent.
Wood ashes or lime should not be
mixed with the manure. AS poultry
manure is particularly adapted to
gardening, poultry raisers can often
dispose of it at a good price. Such
management will add little to the
profits from the flock.

Contagious Roup Cause
of HEAVY Poultry Loss

q
prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
With the approach Of fall and wet,
cold weather, contagious roup, say
members Of Iowa State college, is one
Of the most dangerous diseases that
threaten focks. 1t causes a heavy loss
not only from high death rate but
also from the fact that it interferes
with egg production and causes loss
of vitality in breeding.
Contagious roup is easy to. identify.
1t starts with thin watery discharge
from the nose and eyes, which has an
offensive odor. Inflammation sets in,
the birds begin to cough and sneeze,
breathing becomes noisy and they fire.
The secretions from the nose and eyes
change to a yellowish cheese-like
mass.
Roup can easily be prevented by
avoiding damp, poorly ventilated, over
crowded quarters. To cure a sick bird,
place it in a dry, well-ventilated place
away from the other birds and give it
plenty of fresh water and feed. Every
morning and evening remove all the
cheesy matter from the eyes and nos
trils and dip the birds head into a
solution of bichloride of mercury
(1-1,0O0). This is made by placing one
7.3 mercury bichloride tablet in pint
of water. Hold the bird firmly and
immerse the head until the eyes are
covered, keeping it there a few seconds
or until it struggles.

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, 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 ILL
nois in 1919. Although the disease has
not caused much loss in the infested
area, the area is gradually charging
and indications are that it may become
a serious disease unless adequate con-
troll measures are put into effect. The
symptoms of flag smut aud 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 a
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 number of varieties have
been found which are highly resistant
to 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 a copy
of. this circular free of charge, as long
as the supply lasts, from the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington.

Fowls Lay Majority of
Eggs During First Year

Hens lay the majority Of eggs during
their first two laying seasons, and es-
pecially during their pullet year, if they
are early Matched. If hen lays well
during her pullet year she should be
kept for another year as breeder. If
she lays well during her second year
she should be kept for another year as
a breeder The older she is and the
more culling she survives the better, for
then she has proved that she has the
vitality to stand up under long-contin-
ued laying, and consequently is valu-
able as a breeder.

Minerals Necessary for
Milk Found in Legumes

That clover, alfalfa, and soy bean
hays are probably the best source Of
the minerals necessary for milk pro-
duction was proven by recent tests at
the Ohio station.
These legume hays contain more Of
the essential minerals than other feeds
and the cows in the experiments
seemed to be able to assimilate these
minerals better than those fed as
supplements in-the form Of bone meal,
etc.
These experiments also Indicate
that the way in which hay is cured
has an influence on the availability Of
the minerals which it contains, and
that hay cured without heavy dews or
rain or without long exposure t9 the
sun is the most nutritious.

Calf Should Be Given
First Milk From Mother

The longer the calf is allowed to
nurse the cow the harder it will be
to teach it to drink from pail. How
ever, the first milk, or colostrum, has
properties that normal milk does not
have and which are necessary to give
the calf the best start. For this rea-
son the youngster should always re
ceive the first milk. If it is left with
the mother for 48 hours it will get
enough of the stimulating first milk
and may still take. to drinking from
o pail without much trouble. A weak
calf may be left with the COW lit
tie longer, but more patience will be
required to teach it to drink.

Overcoming of Fowls
Cause of Many Failures

Overcrowding of poultry is one Of
the most common reasons why success
is not had. The temptation to carry a
few extra fowls, over and above the
capacity of the buildings and equip
ment, and thereby increase" the
profit, is one of the commonest STUN
bling blocks to actual success. When
this lesson is learned sometimes it is
a bitter leSson) then real profit is
more likely to be had.

Proper Amount of Salt
to Give Producing Cow

The COW producing an average
amount of milk. requires at least an
ounce of salt day. A safe rule to follow
is to allow three fourths Of an ounce
daily for each 1000 pounds Of live
weight and an additional three-fourths
of an ounce for each ten pounds of
milk produced. Missouri College of
Agriculture dairymen follow this rule
Many feeders mix threefourths of
an ounce of salt with each 100 pounds
Of grain fed and then allow the cows
free access to salt where they can eat
all they want.

Saving Can Be Made on
Feeds Bought in Autumn

, Dairymen who must have mill feeds
for their herds next winter should buy
them now and thus save on costs, says
E. A. Hanson, dairy extension special
list, University of Minnesota. 1.-THE
practice of purchasing a few sacks of
bran or oilmeal whenever needed is
poor economy" says Mr.. Hanson
1.-THE cost of feed is a large factor in
fiuencing the profits and a good saw
ing can be made on ton purchases of
oilmeal or cotton-seed meal at this
time rather than waiting until the win
ter months are here"

Profitable Feed
for Farm Stock
Secretary Pugsley Sees Way
for Two Glasses Of Farm
ers to Help Each Other.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture
Distress calls have been coming to
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture from two large classes of
farmers the wheat growers, who
find their market extremely bad, and
from live stock feeders in the corn
belt proper who have used up the corn
in their own neighborhoods and are
finding difficulty getting it at a rea-
Sonable price from outside. In view
of these facts says acting Secretary OF
Agriculture G. w. Pugsley, these two
classes may find it possible to assist
each other. He calls attention to the
fact that wheat is a good feed for
live stock and that when certain ra-
tics exist between the prices of corn
and wheat the latter can be fed with
as good results as are obtained by feed
ing corn if proper methods are fol-
lowed.
Supply Of Corn Low.
The visible supply of corn on the
first of July of this year was extreme
" low, in fact the lowest in more
than ten years, and compared with the
same time in 1922 the supply is very
short indeed. Department figures show
that on July first the visible supply Of
corn was 3,167, 900 bushels, compared
with 29,337, 900 last year. The average
visible supply on that date from 1915
to 1921, inclusive, was 100000
bushels, and for the period from 1910
to 1914 was just about 100000
bushels.
There is a possibility that in many
places wheat may now be fed to stock,
particularly the lower grades which
have about the same farm feeding
value as the better grades. However,
1t should be remembered that more
labor is necessary in feeding wheat
than in feeding corn because Of the adj
visibility of grinding or crushing it.
The bureau of animal industry has
studied the relative values of wheat
and corn and the methods Of feeding
wheat to the different domestic ami
mails Price ratios have been deter
mined so the farmer may make up his
mind from this information when the
relation of prices Of these two grains
makes it comparatively profitable to-
feed wheat to stock. Thus for example,
it is figured that when corn is 70 cents
a bushel On the farm, 80 cent wheat
can be fed proftably to all animals
including poultry; 81 cent wheat to
cattle and hogs but not for sheep and
poultry; while 90 cent wheat is
profitable for beef cattle only. How
ever, it must be kept in mind that the
cost Of grinding or crushing has not
been considered. A table showing the
relative prices at which wheat can be
used as feed has been prepared cover
Ing the entire range of prices at which
these grains are likely to sell in the
near future. It is as follows:
Corn prices per bushel (5s pounds Of shelled
corn) and equivalent wheat prices per
