Sudan Grass as Forage
Crop for Pigs Is Good

Sudan grass is forage crop that
has not been experimental with very
much as a pasture for hogs. At the
Iowa station Professor Evvard did
some work with it as a maintenance
pasture for brood sows and found it
nearly equal to alfalfa as pasture
for carrying brood sows through the
summer. The Nebraska experiment
station has perhaps done the most
with sudan grass, as pasture for
shotes and the results of their work
show it up in very favorable posi-
ton as compared to alfalfa as a grain
saver. Professor Loeffel reports that
where corn and tankage was settled
to shotes on alfalfa, it took 361
pounds corn and % pounds tankage
for 100 pounds grain, while on the
sudan grass it required 1888 pounds
corn plus 81 pounds tankage, or %
pounds less corn and pounds less
tankage for each 100 pounds gain,
and furthermore the pigs on sudan
grass weighed 213 pounds against 210
for the alfalfa pastured pigs. These
results are striking and it may be we
have been overlooking a good "bet"
in sudan grass as pasture for pigs.
It will bear trying out ON a small
scale, especially In the drier sections
of the country.

Fruit Auctions
Grow Rapidly
Provide Quick Sales Medium
and Are Used by Large
Organizations.

prepared by the I5rited States Department
of Agricusfure)
American fruit auctions now occupy
an important place in the machinery
of distribution Approximately $780,
100000 worth of farm products were
sold in 1923 by these auctions, com
pared with less than s5O,O0O,OO0 in
1912. The auctions provide rapid
sales medium, and are used particu-
larry by the large private and cooper
alive organizations which must keep
their large volume Of production moy-
ing in continuous stream.
These facts are brought out by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture which has been making an extern
sive study of the fruit auctions. Tween
ty-fOur companies were engaged in the
business in Ia leading distributing
centers in 1923. The principle of
auction selling, the department points
out, is predicated upon the necessity
for assembling in one place sufficient
proportion of the market supplies to
attract a large body of the buying
trade.
Numerous Changes.
Numerous changes have taken
place in the auction business In re-
cent years." the department says
"Reorganizations, consultations, and
the establishment Of new companies
have occurred in several cities. Most
of the changes have resulted from the
demand of the trade for impartiality
In the services rendered and the
charges imposed, and from their de-
sire to participate in the profits earned
by the auctions. The tendency Is to-
ward greater uniformity In methods
and practices.
Auctions in the receiving markets
occupy a position in the channels of
distribution between the shippers and
the retailers. On the one hand the
functions of the auction are identical
with those of the carlot wholesaler Of
the commission merchant, while on the
other the auction operates in much
the same manner as the jobber and
other less-than-car-lot wholesalers.
Sales Are Open.
ga great variety of commodities are
sold at the auctions, but most of the
supplies consist of citrus and decidu-
Gus fruits. The sales are open to the
public, and anyone may buy. Charges
and commission rates by the various
companies lack uniformity, but in most
cases are less than the cost of selling
by private sale. Another factor APP
preciated by growers is that the com
panies customarily forward net re-
turns to the shipper within "a to As
hours after the sale is made"
Detailed results of the departments
study have been printed in Depart
ment Bulletin No. 1862, entitled
american Fruit and Produce Auc-
tions," copies of which may be OBJ
tanned upon request to the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, d. G.

White Navy Bean Is the
Variety Most Favored

The small white navy bean is the
variety generally planted, rather than
the larger ones. They do best on soil
that is not too rich; in other words.
a rather thin soil. When the land is
fertile enough to produce large yields
of corn, the plants produce too much
foliage
Beans should be planted after the
soil is well warmed up, or about June
20 or %. They may be planted a month
later than this but in that event there
is always some doubt as to their ma
turing before frost, or Of being caught
by late rains that interfere with the
curing Of the crop.
Beans should be planted far enough
apart so that a cultIvator can be
used, or about 80 inches between
rows. If you are planning to use a
wheel hoe the rows may be spaced
10 inches apart You can use a grain
drill by closing some Of the spouts
or a common gar,Ien drill if your plan
tation is not going to he too large.
DO not plant the beans too thiclSiy in
the row, but have plants three to six
inches apart. 1t will take from o. to
10 pounds of seed to the acre. When
the beans are up cultivate f'edaentIv
but never while the foliage is wet.

Dogs Imported for
Breeding Purposes
Conditions Favorable Here
for Stock Raising.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture)
An interesting sidellght on the
breeding Of domestic animals in the
United States is the number of pure
bred animals imported for breeding
purposes. Most of the live stock in
this country is descended from
foundation stock from foreign coun-
tries, but so favorable are condi-
lions here for stock raising that this
country now holds first position in
livestock resources.
During the last fiscal year ended
June 80, 1925, according to the re-
port of the bureau of animal indus
try, more pure-bred dogs were i'm
ported than any other kind of pure
bred domestic animal. The official
figures are as follows: Dogs, 1856 !;
cattle, 1,426; sheep, $40; horses, 339 !;
swine, 81; cats, IA Compared with
the preceding year imported pure
bred dogs and sheep show a consider
able increase and cattle decrease.
All of the foregoing numbers, depart
ment officials point out, are very small
in proportion to the total number
of domestic animals in this country,
which is about 200,0OO,0OO head. The
figures are small also in comparison
with native pure-bred live stock,
which, though only about per cent of
the total number several million
head. The United States, though still
acquiring small numbers of pure-bred
breeding stock from abroad, appar-
emily raises almost all of its finely
bred domestic animals.

Chance for Improvement
of Herd Is Big Problem

The old saying that "a good sire
is half the herd might be truthfully
completed with the statement that
a poor one is blame near all of It,"
The problem of new herd sire is
one which many. farmers will be fac
ing this winter. The main chance
for herd improvement lies in the in
PRODUCTION of better blood through the
sire.
At the Iowa experiment station, by
using pure-bred bulls on scrub cows,
in the second generation an increase
of 100 per cent in milk yield and 100
per cent in fat production was OBJ
tanned. And many other instances
could be cited of the value of a pure
bred sire at the head of the herd.

Food Supply Important
for Success With Bees

AS it gets warmer, bees will emerge
from the hive in search of pollen for
brood rearing. Examine the hives
some warm day when the bees are fly
ing well see If there is enough honey
for their use Warm weather last
fall led bees to consume more than
the usual amount.
That makes it all the more inn
portant at this time to keep plenty
of food in the hive The instinct or
race preservation is so highly de-
veloped in the bees that when the
food stores get low the queen stops
laying This. too, comes at a time
when the colony should rapidly be
building up.
Here is a safe rule: If the stores In
the hive drop below 20 pounds, feed
honey or strip. Honey left over from
last year may be used. A strip that
will not granulate may be made as
follows:
Dissolve two and half parts of
sugar tby volume) in one part of wa
ter and one tablespoonful tartaric acid
to every twenty pounds of sugar. Care
should be taken that this preparation
is not scorched and that all crystals
are dissolved.
A good way is to reserve at least
a shallow extracting super of honey as
a food chamber above each colony,
using this as a reserve supply through
out the year.
These facts are taken from the
bee bulletin of the Ohio State univer.

field Of evening gowns. There Is no
such thing as a brief summary Of the
modes, for Paris apparently has deter

Of figures and appeal to all kinds Of
taste. The authoritative couturiers
have provided gowns made of every
known filmy fabric and adorned In
every conceivable way. But they have
emphasized, by repetition, some impor-
tant style points so that we may pick
them out as. smart and as character
istic of the new season. Should Amerf-

Of these accented features. there are
plenty Of others which they will find
to their liking.
First Of all one may note the defini-
