Worlds Potato
Crop Ranks High
Greatest Production Is in
Northwest Europe Where
Conditions Are Best.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agftculture.J
The Importance of potatoes In world
agriculture is emphasized in a special
report published by the United States
Department of Agriculture. The world
crop was estimated at more than i've
billion bushels last year, exclusive OF
Russia. In countries reporting to
date, the 1923 crop is 70 per cent OF
that in 1922 Figures in both years
do not include the many small patches
of potatoes grown in gardens for home
use, the department says.
Region of Great Production.
The region of greatest potato pro-
duction is in northwestern Europe
where the soil and climatic conditions
favor the production of potatoes and
rye rather than of corn and wheat, the
department says. In this region pota-
toes play an important part in the
diet of the people, in the manufacture
of alcohol and in feed for live stock.
Variations in potato production IN
northwestern Europe therefore affect
the market for American wheat, rye
and corn the department points out
Germafy is the worlds largest pro-
Queer of potatoes, the report states.
Production this year is estimated at
i,2OO,OOO,DOO bushels as compared with
I,494, 181 900 bushels in 1922. Poland
ranks second as a spuds producer with
an estimated production in 1923 of
S96,O22, COO bushels as compared with
1920, $4,000 bushels last year. Pro
duction Of 10 countries in the north
ern hemisphere this year is estimated
at 3,O8AO36, 900 bushels as compared
with $3.50, 10000 bushels in 1922.
Annual Imports Large.
During the pre-war period annual
imports of potatoes into the United
States were around 3,65S,OO0 bushels,
or a little more than twice the guam
tity exported. Since 1920, however,
there has been a marked decrease in
imports until in 1922 the quantity
shipped from foreign countries was
only 1,775, 900 bushels, the department
says. This was less than one-half the
average quantity imported during
1904, and more than 100000 bush
els less than American exports last
year. More than 60 per cent Of Amer
lean exports go to Cuba.
The Netherlands leads as an export
er of potatoes, and supplies at least
% per cent of the worlds total ex-
ports, the department says. Last
year Italy exported approximately 8,
600, 900 bushels, Canada 100000 bush
els. and Denmark 100000 bushels.

New Seed Treatment Is
Time Saver for Farmer

One great advantage in using the
copper carbonate dust method for
treating seed wheat and oats for the
control of smut is the fact that the
work can be done in the late fall or
winter when other farm tasks are less
arduous. ]. G. Leach, plant authority
of the University of Minnesota, says
that two ounces of the copper carbon
ate dust should be used for each
bushel of grain. After treatment the
grain can be sacked or stored in bin
until spring, when it is ready to plant
without further attention. This
method has given results as good as
any obtained with formaldehyde, +"

Takes Brains and Pains
to Produce Winter Eggs

Whistling, or speaking gently, or
knocking on the door to let the hens
know when he is coming, will save the
poultryman several eggs in the days
gathering, says Prof. Willard c.
Thompson, poultry husbandman Of the
New Jersey experiment station, in q
circular on 1.-THE Winter-Time Manage
ment of the Laying Flock
Fright, he goes on to say, is often
fatal to and always interferes with nor
NAL egg production. Hence the neces-
sity of having the poultryman move
slowly through the pens.
Fresh air in the laying house at all
times is another essential to maximum
egg production, according to Professor
Thompson. The reasons for the neces-
sity of having fresh air are that the
expiring breath of fowls is heavily
laden with moisture, as it carries many
LIQUID waste products of the body
processes, which in other animals are
given off through the sweat glands and
through the urinary system.
Moisture in the expiring breath of
fowls, if not carried out Of the house,
saturates the atmosphere and creates
dampness quickly. The poisons in the
expiring breath Of fowls when rein
hailed, cannot but deplete the vitality
of the birds.
Then, because there are usually a
large number of fowls per unit Of floor
space, all the air that can possibly be
given should be furnished.
Heavy dry mash consumption is one
Of the principal requirements which
the author mentions for good supply
of eggs in winter.

Rafting in Breathing
Not Uncommon in Fowls

Rafting in breathing is not uncom-
mon among fowls Of all ages. It is
usually due to TOO much mucus in the
throat, windpipe or bronchial tubes.
Anything that irritates the lining Of
the breathing tubes increases the mu-
Gus flow and produces an INSTRUCTED
breath. Bronchitis, canker, roup and
other acute diseases may show this
symptom. The constant breathing of
dry dust, especially if it be gritty and
alkaline, is sometimes responsible
where fowls show this trouble but
have no real disease. In its advanced
stages, "rattles" is hard disease to
cure. The best help comes through
prevention. Pure air, clean dropping
boards and floors, sweet food, and wa
ter do more to prevent 'rattles' than
drugs.

what is being demanded by buyers.
Before buying any bull, look at his
dam and, if possible, his sire, grand
dam and grandsire," was Collentine's
answer. "There is many $50 bull
that 1 would rather have at the head
of my herd than some $500 bulls l
have SEEN"
He explained his statement as fol-
lows: TYPE is appealing more to live
stock men today than ever before. The
reason for this is that dairymen are
recognizing that certain points. of con-
formation are inseparable with pro-
ductive stock. We know that COW
which has a WIDE straight rump will
have plenty of room for healthy milk
organs, and that if her conformation
is such that she can consume plenty
of feed she is reasonably sure to be a
good producer.
See the Dam First.
"For this reason, in selecting bull,
a dairyman should be sure to see the
dam and, if possible, individuals Of the

able to believe that the young bull will
carry these same characteristics and
cause them to be inherent in his off

ct know of four prospective buyers
at recent sale who were prepared to
pay more than $1,000 for a bull. They
saw an excellent type bull-almost
faultIess in show-ring type-that made
strong appeal to them. They asked
to be shown his dam. They came back
and said they didn't want the bull
his dam was all that is undesirable in
dairy COW. They knew, as they had
reason to know, that the offspring of
the bull might bear a close resem-
blance to the undesirable dam.
Conformation Is the Thing.

and dam have the characteristic for

Hens Must Be Well Fed
During Noting Period

Many people ask how to feed chick
ems through the molt. They seem to
feel that the system of feeding during
this normal resting period should be
different than their feeding system
during the other periods of the year.
The yearly mott is a very natural
part of hens life This is the time
IF the year when the hen ceases pro-
duction in order to replenish her ward
robe and to store up renewed energy
and strength for her next year of lay-
ing. During this time she is manu-
featuring a supply Of feathers instead
Of eggs. Feathers and eggs are made
up of somewhat the same material.
The system of feeding then should not
be different from one used for egg pro-
duction! Milk should continue to be
fed along with the mash, and oyster
shell and grain should continue to be-
fed in order that the hen may store
up surplus fat so that she can have
fat to draw upon for the next years
production.
Cutting down in the feed will cause
production to drop off. Any condition
which stops egg production will cause
birds to mott at this time of year.
However, the causing of the early
melting will not bring about quick
mott. On the contrary, those that
mott early are usually longtime molt-
ers. Those that mott late are usually
ghort-time molters 1t is therefore,
most profitable to continue to feed for
egg production and let the fowls go
into their natural mott, rather than to
try and control this in any way

Caution Advised in
Buying Clover Seed
Tests Show That Italian
Product Is Not Desirable.

of Agriculture)
Estimates of the probable red clover
seed crop indicate the possibility that
considerable importations of foreign
red clover seed will be made and
placed on the American market for
seeding in the spring of 1924, accord
ing to the United States Department.
Of Agriculture.
In this connection it seems desirable
says the Bureau of Plant Industry, to
call attention to some of the results OF
trials made by the department with
several state agricultural experiment.
stations and county agents. Results
Of this work show clearly that as
rule Italian seed is not desirable In
the United States.
Tests were made in Minnesota, Wis
consin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa,
Pennsylvania, New York, New Hamp-
shire, Tennessee, Virginia and Mary
land, and except at the Pennsylvania
state college, the plots seeded to Ital-
ian seed everywhere showed more or
less winter-killing or disease injury.
In Minnesota ali foreign lots common
" imported into the United States
were badly winter-killed il the winter
of 1922-1923. At other stations the
French and Chilean apparently sui
fered little, but the Italian suffered at
every station north of the Ohio, ex-
cept at Pennsylvania state college.
At the Department of Agriculture test
ing farm at Arlington, Virginia, all
foreign lots suffered severely from dis
ease, the Italian, German and Bo-
hemian being the greatest sufferers,
some plots of which lost 80 per cent
or more of the stand. On the same
field some lots of United States origin
suffered more or less, while others
were not affected.
cit is hoped that these facts will be
borne in mind by importers, and that
strains as are certainly known to be I'M
safe will not be offered to the Amer
lean farmer" said an official Of the
department.

Wheat Considered Good
Feed for All Chickens

Wheat is considered a good feed
for young chickens and laying hens,
and may be fed with profit during the
present rather low prices. Any change
of feed for laying hens should be
made gradually, however, as sud
den change may seriously affect the
egg production.
The grain mixture may be of equal
parts OF corn and wheat, and the. mash
of A parts ground corn, 4 of medium
ground wheat, and 2 of high grade
meat scraps or tankage. If it is de-
sired to use oats, the mixture sug-
gested is corn 4, wheat 4, and oats 2
parts and a mash of ground corn 8
parts, medium ground wheat 3, finely
ground oats and meat scrap or tank
age parts.
