Early Seeding Advised
for BIG Yield of Oats

Early seeding Of oats is the first
essential, says the United States De
partment Of Agriculture, for maximum
yields. In most sections oats should
be sown as early as 1t is possible to
get on the land to prepare a seed bed.
This crop develops best in cool wealth
er and frequently Is injured by a
few. hot days during the ripening
period. For this reason early seeding
is practically always advisable.
The date Of seeding largely depends
on the locality and the season. In the
corn belt the best time usually is dur
ing the latter part Of March or early
April. In the more northern oat sec
lions seeding wheat usually is not
possible until late April. In back
ward and unfavorable seasons the
seeding may have to be delayed until
early May.
Where oats follow corn, potatoes, or
other cultivated crops, the land
should not be plowed as a rule, but
should be disked and narrowed suf
fciently to make loose, friable seed
bed about three inches deep. Spring
blowing usually results in less sat
isfactory seed bed, as there is not
sufficient time for the soil to become
well settled before seeding. Further,
spring blowing is more expensive, and
thus adds to the cost Of production.

Bulletin Discusses
Diseases of Potato
Problems of Interest and
Concern to All Growers.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
The presence of various diseases or
potatoes affecting both the plant and
the tuber constitutes problem of
great interest and concern to all grow
ers. Investigations and studies made
by the United States Department of
Agriculture have in large measure
resulted in the development of meth
DDS for controlling these diseases to a
great extent, with saving Of money
and time Although present methods
are by no means perfect, yet in spite
of their distinct limitations, when
properly applied, they afford an effec-
tive means of raising better crops and
of preventing their subsequent spoil
age in cellars, in warehouses and in
transit
The brief description of each of the
important potato-tuber diseases with
reference to the most practical meas
ures of control is given in new buIle-
tin just issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture, as Farm
ers' Bulletin 1867, Control of Potato
Tuber Diseases. The measures for the
control Of the various diseases, says
the author of the bulletin, should be in
strict conformity with the nature Of
the trouble and It's cause. Therefore
clear conception of the peculiar char
acteristics of each disease is neces-
sary for its successful combat
The bulletin seeks to present this
information in such way that the
grower and the dealer may be able to
understand the various troubles and
prevent them If possible or to seek the
assistance of a specialist whenever
troubles become perplexing or go be-
yond the possibilities of frst-aid meas
ures.
A copy Of the bulletin may be Sc
cured, as long as the supply lasts, from

culture, Washington.

Develop Barley
CT High Yield
Snlorth-Awned Variety Be
ing Sought by Experts
of Federal Bureau.

prepared by the United States Department
CT Agricultural
The farm boy, the hired man and
the farmer himself, for that matter,
will rise to vote of thanks and give
three cheers for the scientists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture when they succeed in developing
on commercial scale a variety of bar
ley that can be wallowed in with inn
punity on hot summer day without
wearing a cast-iron shirt and overalls.
The saw-edged boards of the many
varieties of bodybuilding barleys have
been instrumental in keeping down the
acreage of barley, and only its ability
to produce high acre yield in pounds
of feed has maintained the present
acreage.
Smooth-AWned Variety.
Attempts by the agronomist in
charge of barley Investigations for the
department to develop a smooth
awned variety from the rough-awned
Manchuria, which is a popular high
yielding variety, have resulted in con-
siderable progress. Enough seed for
general distribution is not yet avail
able, however. Specimens of this
smooth-awned barley are to be seen in
the Office of cereal Investigations Of
the department. These awns are so
smooth that they may be pulled across
the face in either direction without any
roughness being apparent except at the
tip.
Act as Safety Valve.
In these Investigations it was found
unwise to eliminate the awns entirely
because they serve a definite purpose.
When they are removed from the
growing head by clipping, the ash is
deposited in the rachis, or small stem
to which the kernel is attached, maxi
ing it more brittle and allowing the
grain to shatter easily. The awns, it
seems, act as a sort of safety valve or
storehouse for this excess material. 1t
has been found more practicable to de-
velop variety with smooth avn
than to remove it entirely.
Smooth-awned barleys are still in
the experimental stage. Several high
yielding strains adapted to different
climatic conditions are ready for in
crease to larger plats and field culture.
Whether they can compete with the
rough-awned varieties remains to be
determined.

Shallow Cultivation
for Currant Bushes

I am convinced that currants should
never be cultivated very deeply at any
time, and especially in the spring, be-
cause they are very shallow-rooted
plants and they start to grow so early
in the season that deep cultivation at
this time would almost certainly do a
great deal of damage, says writer in
Successful Farming.
In the spring prefer to use scuffle
hoe close to the bushes set only one or
two years, and hand wheel hoe Gull
tivator, with the rakes only, between
the rows in the garden. For a large
area, would use a cultivator that
coud be set so as to go only three
inches deep. I think it best to keep
the ground Clearly cultivated, with
perhaps crop of cabbage, peas, toma-
toes, or eggplants, none of which ordi-
narily last later than the first of Oc-
tober. But all of these insure cultiva-
ton early in the season, pay fairly well
and do not interfere with autumn
work among the currants.

Blackstrap Molasses Is
Used to Fatten Steers

That there is a limit to the quantity
Of blackstrap molasses which can be
added with economy to a ration of 5.4
pounds of cottonseed meal and 46
pounds of corn silage for fattening
yearling steers was, shown in test
made by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture in cooperation
with the Louisiana Experiment sta
ton.
Two lots of nine 7OO-pound steers
were fed for 112 days. Forty-six
pounds of silage per steer per day
was practically the limit of their ca
pacity. Lot 1 was fed 5.42 pounds of
molasses per steer daily, while lot 2
was fed 807 pounds of molasses per
steer daily. AS lot / gained 248
pounds per steer daily, while lot 2
gained only al pounds per steer
daily, it is evident that 2.65 pounds of
molasses was wasted daily per steer
in lot 2. The results in lot 2 might
have been more favorable to the use
of so much molasses had the cotton
seed-meal ration been reduced to 35
or 4 pounds In the test, lot ] con-
sumed 1880 pounds of silage, 218
pounds Of cottonseed meal, and 218
pounds of molasses per 100 pounds
gain, while lot required 2 per cent
more silage, 3 per cent more cotton
seed meal, and 81 per cent more mo-
lasses to produce 100 pounds of gain.

Sunlight and New Soil
Needed by Baby Chicks

Sunlight plays an important part in
the growth and development of chicks,
experiments conducted at the Kansas
Agricultural college indicate. An out
side run where the chicks are exposed
to direct sunlight as soon as they learn
to return to the warmth of the brood
er is recommended. When hens are
used for brooding, the chicks may be
allowed outside from the first. Chicks
two weeks old, with access to open
range and plenty of green feed, may
be hopper fed on dry mash.
Whole wheat and kafir may be grad
ually added to the grain feeds. Where
possible, brooder houses and broody
coops should be placed in new loca-
tons each year so as to avoid con-
tamination from the outside runs This
sanitation provision applies particular
ly to the control Of intestinal para
sites, poultrymen advise.

CAkELESSNESS WILL
CAUSE POOR MATCHES

The careful gathering, selecting and
holding of Matching eggs are factors
too often overlooked, asserts w. II.
Allen, poultry specialist at the New
Jersey College of Agriculture at New
Brunswick. To prove his statement
Mr.. Allen points out that nearly 90 per
cent of all eggs that are set in incu-
bators or under hens are fertile. and
should hatch strong chicks, yet only
80 to so per cent ever do.
Eggs should be collected three or
four times day, and from clean nests.
This prevents them from getting
chilled, dirty and damp. Grade them
for size, color and shape. A bird
usually lays eggs Of the type of the
one from which it was Matched. Keep
the eggs in dry room with tempera-
ttire of so degrees f., and never hold
them more than six days before plac-
ing in the incubator. Eggs held II
days will hatch 10 to 10 per cent fewer
chicks than eggs only week old.
Incubator rooms should not be cold.
The ideal temperature is 70 degrees.
When the temperature is lower than
this the hatch will be retarded and
the chicks of poor quality. A chick
Matched in twenty days Is worth two
Matched In twenty-five.
The incubator should be leveled
to prevent uneven temperatures with
in the machine, all thermometers tested
for accuracy, and the machines disin-
fected. The Manufacturers instruc-
lions should be followed. Run the in
cubator three days before putting in
the Matching eggs. Do not disturb
them for two days after they are set;
after that turn them twice daily. No
cooling is necessary during incubation,
especially during the months Of Feb
ruary, March and April.
The best temperature at which to
run a machine is 1O3 degrees. Test
out all infertile eggs on the seventh
and fourteenth days. To prevent
chicks from dying in the shell, it is
often necessary to add moisture. This
can be judged by weighing the eggs
plus the Matching tray on the first day
and again on the seventh. The eggs
plus the tray should not weigh over
per cent less on the seventh day
than on the first.

Poultry Profits Depend
on Earliness of Hatch

Profits in poultry raising depend to
a large extent on the earliness in the
season that chickens are Matched.
The earlier in life pullet commences
laying, the greater the number of eggs
produced during the first laying year.
Pullets should be In laying condition
the first part Of October, If good win
ter egg production is to be expected.
The more eggs laid during November,
December and January, the greater are
the annual profits.
In order to commence laying in Oc-
tober, pullets of the Plymouth Rock,
Rhode Island Red, Wyandotte, and
similar breeds should be Matched the
latter part of March or the first part
Of April. Pullets of the Leghorn,
Ancona, and similar breeds should be
Matched the latter part Of April or the
first part. of May.

Tank to Treat Potatoes
Is Highlv Recommended

Those who expect to treat their po-
tatoes before planting this season
would do well to make their plans for
building a treating tank If one is not
available. These can be made out of
concrete or wood and should be con-
structed so that they can be easily
drained. Never treat cut potatoes.
Corrosive sublimate solutions are
weakened rapidly where cut potatoes
are treated. The corrosive sublimate
treatment for 11a hours is recommend
ed. Complete directions can be Sc
cured from the county agent. Since
an average increase of 10 to 20 per

PLAN TILE LINES
FOR GOOD DRAINAGE

That cooperation between adjacent
land owners in drainage projects re-
suits in a saving to all concerned is
the opinion of O. r. Zeasman, drain
age extension worker of the Wiscon-
sin College Of Agriculture.
He points out the disadvantage to
the farmer who must go across a
neighbours land in order to get an
outlet for his drainage system. An
agreement between the two farmers
will result In mutual benefit. The
man whose land is crossed gets rid
Of the seepage water which comes
down from the higher land, and as a
result his land becomes more pro-
ductive.
Many fine farms are possible If steps
are taken properly to drain present
swamps and low, wet lands, according
to Zeasman BE sure you are right,
and then go ahead" he says. "It is
useless to create more tillable land on
farm unless it is needed or 1t evens
up the Jagged edges of a field. No
matter how large the drainage project,
time and money are we'll spent in MAX
ing careful plans before the actual
work of excayating and laying the
tile is commenced
MANY thousands of dollars have
been wasted where tile have been laid
without taking proper level readings
on the land or through carelessness in
not laying the tile ACCORDING to the
plans made. Tile once laid improperly
cannot be recovered profitably because
the cost Of digging It up is greater
than the purchase price of new tile"
Zeasman emphasizes the need Of
laying tile lines so that they are the
most effective. Careful attention
should be paid to the edge of the up
land where the seepage water is often
greatest in amount He recommends
a line parallel to the edge of the up
land in order to get all of the water.
Allowance should be made for the
shrinkage and settling of the peat
when marshes are drained. A depth
Of four to five feet is a satisfactory
minimum for tile in peat marshes

Hens and Eggs Buy
Home improvements
Poultry Products Sold by
South Carolina Women.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.l
Farm women OF Charleston county,
S. c., sold SAL pounds of poultry and
10,388 dozen eggs during 1928, as COM
pared with 600 pounds Of market poul-
try and 1,O09 dozen eggs In 1920. This
large increase in three years was ac-
complished, on the part Of extension
workers comparatively directed by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and the state agricultural colleges,
by constantly emphasizing the value of
pure bred poultry and of the need of
grading all products. The home DEM
onstration agent rendered all possible
assistance in the marketing of these
products, but the good results are at
tributed largely to the fact that at
every meeting held, no matter what
subject was discussed, poultry was adj
vised as a means of increasing the
home income. Out of 1873 women en-
rolled in home demonstration work, 70
improved their flocks by the purchase
of standardized cockerels or baby
chicks.
In addition to selling poultry, 1887
pounds of butter and fresh vegetables,
amounting to $2,368.50, were sold in
the county. The money earned by the
women in these ways was divided into
three portions. One part was laid
away for a rainy day, one part was
spent in supplying special needs Of the
children. or for food or clothing, and
the third part was spent for home i'm
provements. Among these improve
ments, % houses were remodeled by
having additions, new floors, or new
lighting systems. Eleven women
bought gasoline irons, two made wheel
trays and four bought kitchen cabi-
nets; fifteen planted fruit trees and
1873 planted local trees and shrubs to
beautify the home grounds.

Intestinal Disinfectant
for Control of Diseases

A good intestinal disinfectant, such
as bichlorfde of mercury, can be used
in the drinking water provided for the
poultry flock, as means Of aiding in
the control Of poultry diseases. This,
however, is but small part Of the
procedure in disease control and does
not strike at the real source of the
trouble.
One of the first steps in keeping the
poultry flock healthy is to dispose of,
by killing and burning, all birds af-
flicted with tuberculosis, fowl cholera
and other similar serious diseases. A
second step is to see that the two main
causes of disease, lack of sanitation
and a condition of lowered vitality,
are eliminated from the flock.
