ADVISE FARMERS
CLEAN WHEAT
fCpst Of Transportation Greatly
Increased by Presence Of
Much Foreign Matter.
SCREENINGS HAVE NO VALUE
Graln-cIeaning Devices Can Be At
tached to Threshing Machines and
Operated at Exceedingly
Small Expense.

Large savings in the cost of trans
porting grains to terminal markets
would be effected if farmers and coun-
try elevators would ship only clean
wheat to market, In the opinion of
Robert il. Black in charge of grain
cleaning Investigations for the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The average carload of spring wheat
received at Minneapolis daring Octo-
Der last year contained oser one and
one-half tons of screenings, Mr.. Black
said. These screenings have no mar
ket value so that the cost of trans
porting the material wa a total loss
to the shipper. The result not only
was n waste of transportation space
but increased considerably the trans
portation costs on the good wheat.
Dockage Is Large.
Minnesota grain inspection records
for October last yea show that Mime
apolis received 1882 cars of spring
wheat during that month containing
an average of Az per cent of dockage.
The transportation space occupied by
this foreign material in the wheat re-
quired $50 cars more than would have
been required had the dockage been
removed before shipment, Mr.. Black
said. For the shipping season up to
November 81 last year nearly $4,000
bushels of dockage or foreign material
in the wheat was shipped to market,
the records show. During the 1920
81 crop year the quantity of dockage
OF foreign material in the wheat
shipped to market was so great that
more than 1900 additional freight
cars were required to haul the wheat
than would have been necessary had
the wheat been cleaned before ship
ment.
Mr.. Black is conducting an educa-
tional campaign among the spring
wheat growers looking toward the
cleaning of wheat on the farms, hav-
ing in operation in the field several
grain-cleaning devices attached to
threshing separators that can be oper-
ated at exceedingly small cost com
pared with the losses sustained by
shippers through shipping dockage in
wheat to market. Mr.. Black is also
arranging to conduct a grain cleaning
school at Fargo for the purpose of
teaching farmers effective grain clean
ing methods.
Records Show Increase.
Minnesota grain inspection records
for the past IS years show a marked
increase in the percentage of dockage
in wheat arriving ut terminal mar
kets, ranging from 2 per cent In 1903
TO more than s per cent In 1921. On
this basis the 1921 spring wheat crop
contained more than 100000 bush
els Of dockage, the transportation cost
on which was a total loss to the
shippers. Mr.. Black states that when
the cleaning Is done on the farm, or
at the country elevator. the cleaned
wheat will bring a better price IN the
market, the freight on the dockage
will be saved, more cars will be avail
able for hauling wheat, and the screen
ings will be available for feed. When
finely ground the screenings car be
substituted for the higher priced feeds.
such as oats. corn and commercial mill
feed, Mr.. Black said.

REMOVAL OF SILAGE DOORS
Fiavors May Be EradIsated by Aera-
tlon Of Milk While II Is Warm
Fec After Milking.

Silage odors are absorbed largely
through the body Of the COW rather
than from the air, according to tests
made by the United States Department
of Agriculture. However. these odors
may be practically or entirely removed
by the aeration of the milk while It is
still warm. Rather heavy feeds of
sllnge may be given to cows one hour
after milking without any undesirable
fiavors or odors passing into the milk.
When green alfalfa was fed In relative
ly large quantities n hour before
milking marked fiavors and odors were
noticed in the milk, but when ms much
"s 20 pounds per COW. was fed after
milking there was no effect on the
milk from the next milking.

PAINT ALL BUILDINGS EARLY
Minnesota Specialist Advises to "Get
the Jump" on Pests Detrimental
to Good Job.

Do your painting early, is the advice
Of Ii. b. White of the engineering d.
vision. University farm. and thus "get
the jump" on dirt, flies and other in
sects that are detrimental to IA first
class job Of painting later on.
1.-THE Idea that paint Is used only
for appearance" says Mr.. White, sis
common in many localities. Paint i'm
proves h appearance of buildings and
implements, but 1t Is even more i'm
portant that 1t be used to prevent de-
teriorntion. Scarcity Of lumber inc Its
relatively high price make 1t clear that
the life of the buildings should be given
more attention than when material and
labor were less expensive.
"a farmer can often do his own
painting. If rapid depreciation Is to
be prevented, It is essential that n
building be given n coat Of paint every
three years, or two coats about every
five years."
