TEN YEARS OF EXTENSION TEACHING
Shows Value OF VARIOUS METHODS

In a study made by the United
States department of agriculture in
cooperation with the state extension
services of Iowa, New York, Colo
RADIO, and California, some light is
thrown on concrete problems concern
ing which extension leaders have de-
sired reliable information.
Probably n of the most important
measures of the results Of extension
teaching, which has been carried on
for 10 years under the Smith-Lever
Act, is the number Of farms and farm
homes actually reached. The study
shows that the highest percentage
reached was SO per cent, in a county
where organized extension work had
been under way IL years. The low
est percentage was so, in a county
having had extension agents but six
years. Of the 1854 farms studied
in these four states, IA per cent had
adopted practices taught by extension
forces. A total of 1888 adOptiOns Of
improved practices were reported, an
average Of "a practices for each farm
definitely reached.
Propaganda methods influenced the
adoption Of improved practices on So
per cent Of the farms, O~bject-essOn
methods on SO per cent, and personal
service methods en- q per cent.
Forty-nine per cent Of the farms re-
ported indirect influences.
The Importance Of the indirect
spread Of influence Of extension was
brought out by the fact that extern
sion teachings were accepted by "a
per cent Of the farms where the oper-
ators were not members Of the eX.
tension association, had eve parti-
cipated in an extension activity, and
had never gotten in touch with repre-
sentatives of the extension service

EXPERIMENTING
With SCREENINGS
AS LAMB FEED

Whether mill screenings can safely
be used as a feed for fattening lambs
will be determined by certain tests
now being conducted by the Montana
State College Experiment station.
The presence of a large proportion
Of seeds of fanweed, mustard, false
flax, wild buckwheat, and other
weeds in the screenings has been
found to give certain characteristic
tastes and Odors to the meat pro-
duced. If these undesirable features
can be eliminated by changing the
feed during the latter part of the
feeding period, screenings Of this
sort still may be fed to some extent,
1t is hoped that a short period Of
wheat feeding viii remove objection
able features produced by the screen
ings. If it will, screenings with weed
seeds may be used to some extent at
the start Of a feeding period. If,
however, the Objectionable tastes and
doors persist, mill screenings with q
large percentage of strong weed seeds
will have to be eliminated as a lamb
feed.

LOOK OUT FOR
"HERBAE PRATT"
Fraud Order Issued Against
Firm Selling This SO-calIed
Lawn Grass Mixture

Many persons have been victimized
by the Zenith Lawn Accessory COM
pany, a firm with numerous mail ad-
dresses, engaged in selling a grass
seed mixture under the coined name
"Herbae Pratt" The pOstcffice de-
partment has denied the company the
use of the mail. According to the
United States department of agricul-
ture, grossly erroneous statements IS
to its suitability for lawns have been
made. It's qualities have been pro-
claimed in such phrases as "the boss
Of all grasses" "the worlds most
beautiful blue-grass;" "a lawn in so
days anywhere; " cit will grow where
other grasses have failed, in any soil
or climate;" cheat, cold, or shade will
not affect it."
An analysis of the mixture made by
the department seed testing labOra-
tory showed it to be composed mainly
Of meadow fescue and Italian rye
grass. The victims have paid as high
as $3.50 a pound for the mixture,
whereas, according to the department,
the constituents Of the Herbae Pratt
mixture could have been purchased
from reputable seed firms for not
more than 10 to 20 cents a pound.
The postal fraud order has put a
stop to the use Of the mails by the
firm, but travelling agents are still
active throughout the country, es-
pecially in the southern states at
present, selling "Herbae Pratt" by
hOuse-to-house canvass and to local
seed handlers.
Meadow fescue is not a lawn grass.
In the humid sections of the United
States it is q good meadow and pas
ture grass when used in mixtures
with other grasses, but it may be
said unqualifiedly that it is not a de,
slrable lawn grass nor is it drought
resistant in the commonly accepted
sense Of the term. Italion rye grass
is sometimes used for making TEN.
pOrary lawns or as a minor constitu,
ent Of permanent lawn mixtures fol
quick and temporary results. Mea.
dow fescue and Italian rye grass are
not turf-forming grasses but grow IL
punches much the same as timothy
and, therefore, it is impossible foI
them to make a velvety turf. By ma
ture Of their growth they are not az
gressive against weeds and creeping
grasses, and they are no more toler
ant of shade than is Kentucky blue
grass.

Importance of Tree Crops to the
Farmer and Small Landowner
Will be Emphasized

President Coolidge has designated
April 1924, inclusive, as the 1926
American Forest week, according to
an official proclamation. He gave
full weight to the evils resulting from
Impoverished and idle forest land.
but declared that a change is taking
place in the attitude of landowners
toward the country's forests.
Secretary Of Agriculture Jardine. in
making public the forestry proclama-
ton, emphasized the Importance of
tree crops to the farmer and small
landowner, declaring that one-third Of
all forest land in the United States
is in small wOOdlOts. He also pointed
out that the observance Of American
Forest week has reached nation
wide proportions and that the an
nual campaign is directed by the Am
erican Forest week, a federation OF
nearly 100 organizations with Hon.
Frank o. Lcwden, of Illinois as chair
man. The department of agriculture
is represented on this committee by
the forest service, the bureau Of
plant industry, and the illogical sur
vey.
A new feature of this years OBJ
%servance is the formation of forest
week committees in each state and
Alaska in order that local forestry
problems can be studied and met by
states, counties, and municipalities.
Canada has issued a proclamation
calling for the observance f a For
est week this spring at the same time
it is observed in the United States.

wheat OUTLOOK
FOR 1926 in u. S.
Surplus OF Hard Varieties Like
Iy, But World Crop May Be
Less Than Last Years

HEL ENA-The Montana state de-
paTtment of agriculture issues the
following ~corGC~sed summary of the
outlook FIR wheat farmers, adapted
from the Cutlc~k Survey made by
the Z. S. bureau OF agricultural eco
Monies with which the state depart
ment is cooperating.
Hard winter wheat acreage in the
United States has increased 4 per
cent and with the crop going into the
winter il good condition, a prodr".
ton OF hard winter wheat somev. H.:
larger than in 1925 is to be exec e..
On the other hand the producti.n OF
soft winter wheat may not be any
larger than the short crcN Of 1925
as the acreage in the soft winter
wheat states was reduced and the
crop entered the winter in poor con-
dition. This class CT wheat may con-
tinue, therefore, to demand some
premium.
If an acreage of hard spring wheat
equal to last year is seeded and av-
erage yields are secured, there is
likely to be d surplus of hard wheats
for export, and domestic prices may
be expected to be more in line with
these in surplus producing countries
than at present. While it is too early
to forecast the 1925 world wheat
crop. a slightly smaller world crop
outside Of the United States may be
expected unless Russia should become
important. The areas Of winter
wheat planted in countries reporting
to date, are slightly smaller and the
unusually high yields Of 1925 are not
likely to be repeated. Worlds stocks
at the beginning of the new crop year
win probably not be large.
Due tc the short crop in the United
States in 1925, spring wheat growers
IN this country have received prices
we'll above those in Canada. During
the six months ending December
1925, No. 1 northern at Minneapolis
has averaged 1877 cents above No. ]
northern at Winnipeg; whereas 2
year ago in this period it averaged
half cent less. The 1926 price ad
vantage, if any, that will be afforded
by the tariff to the spring whea
grower will depend both upon tn.
production Of spring wheat in tn.
United States and the production o
winter wheat, particularly hard win
ter wheat which can be substitute
for spring wheat in milling. At pres
ent an increased production of harI
winter wheat is expected.
Since the Canadian wheat crop i
the most important competitor o
hard spring wheat in the Unite
States, the outlook for the Canada.
crop is of particular Importance. Tn
acreage cf Canadian wheat reache
its highest point in 1921 and ha
since remained fairly constant. L
1925 good yields were secured and tn
crop has been selling at relativel
high prices.

HOG CHOLERA IS
Still A MENACE
Farmers Rely Too Much Upon
Serum Treatment-Other
Precautions Necessary

a recent investigation of the hog
cholera situation by the United States
department of agriculture reveals
surprising carelessness among farm
ers In dealing with the disease. The
effectiveness of the preventive-serum
treatment has given many swine
owners a feeling of security which is
not real. 'Yet without proper safe
guards" declares DR.. u. G. Houck. in
charge Of hog-cholera control, 'sthe
disease is just as dangerous to-day
as it ever was"
For safety against this disease it
is necessary to observe certain pre-
cautions. Isolate all new stock, keep
ing it apart from other hogs for a
period Of at least two weeks. This
precaution applies especially to hogs
purchased at public sales or other
sources likely TO spread infection.
Permit no sick hogs to roam at large,
Keep hog lots properly fenced and
maintain the fences in good repair.
Burn or bury deeply the carcasses Of
animals that die On the farm. Dead
animals lying above ground attract
dogs. Many outbreaks have beer
traced to portions Of diseased car.
casses carried from place to place
by dogs
The preventlve-serum treatment Is
a dependable insurance against hos
cholera, but this treatment, It SHOULD
be remembered, is a preventive ans
not a cure. By adopting the fore
going safeguards swine owners mag
largely reduce the loss from hos
cholera which last year exceeded
s20,o0O,0O0.
