Find Impure Seeds Are
Large Tax on Farmers

Clean seed and clean land will help
the farmers to save hundreds of thou
sands of dollars this year, according
to a statement just issued by the ex-
tension division, Department of Agri-
culture of the University of Mime
sofa.
The statement referred to prints
figures obtained from G. P. Bull, weed
commissioner of the state department
of agriculture, to the effect that more
than $675,000 was paid by farmers for
threshing the dockage of Minnesota,
North Dakota, South Dakota and Mon
tana, in single year, and that more
than 100000 was paid for shipping
the same stuff to market.
1t is further estimated that on the
basis Of the average acreage of wheat
in Minnesota for the last FIVE years,
the total loss imposed by unclean
seed and unclean land runs to
$1,9OO,OOO.
Losses of great amount in the grow
ing Of other crops occur in the same
way.
Specialists at the Minnesota expert
ment station advise the planting of
clean seed in clean land.

Farm Machine Hospital
Saves Time and Money

During cold winter and early spring
days the farm shop is a very busy
place for the successful farmer. He
may profitably utilize his spare time
there and make repairs of all sorts,
according to John w. Sjogren, asso-
ciate professor of agronomy, Colorado
Agricultural college.
among the more important farm
repairs to be made are: Replacing
broken hammer and fork handles,
overhauling farm machinery and
equipment, and the repairing and oil
ing of work harness. On many farms
the tractor and automobile are also
part of the farm equipment. Where
a farm machinery hospital is avail
able, these machines are readily re-
paired and adjusted during the winter
months.
"The farm shop need not be an ex-
pensive building or contain a large
assortment of expensive tools. The
tools that are very desirable to have
in any repair shop, are: Work bench,
wise, hammer, hand saws, hack saw,
wrenches, cold chisels, punches, planes,
drills, square, level, Ratchet, screw
driver, drawing knife, yoke shave.
forge, anvil, blacksmith hammer,
tongs, grindstone, emery wheel, drill,
and harness repair tools.

Garden Is Best Paying
Patch on Average Farm

Garden time comes when the farm

work that he thinks he cannot spare
the time to put In the garden. Many
say they can't fiddle. around with a
little old garden. The result is that
the wife assumes the responsibility as
well as all the work for the farm gar

No matter how low the prices of
farm crops fall, the farmer can al
ways be sure of good garden AMI
enough to eat. If the wife has to look
after the garden in addition to her
household duties, the garden will nec-
essarily be small. If the farmer him.
self spends more time in his garden,
he will find that the garden pays bet

the amount of labor required.-Thom-

"Sheep Acres" Is
of Much Interest
Extra Feeding of Ewes at
Breeding Time Helps.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuture)
Comprising tract of approximate
ly 100 acres of tillable land in the
animal husbandry experiment farm at
Beltsville, Nd, "Sheep Acres" is
yielding many results of interest to
flock owners of the United States. The
name is gradually coming to mean the
proving ground for problems of sheep
production under intensive conditions
typical of farm sheep raising. A prac-
tical system of forage-crop pastures,
experiments already have shown, en-
ables sheep to be pastured longer and
moved from field to field, thereby con-
trolling parasites more fully than
when maintained under the usual per-
manent-pasture method. This prac-
tice makes it possible, also to keep a
farm flock on less cured feed, thereby
saving expense and labor.
Another important result of expert
mental work at "Sheep Acres" con-
Germs the effect Of extra feeding of
ewes at breeding time on the percent
age of twins in the lamb crop. An adj
vantage of 16 lambs per 100 ewes
has resulted from keeping ewes in
highly nourished condition during that
season.
Other experiments deal with growth
of lambs, both in weight and size, fix
ing of type in purebred sheep by Sc
lective breeding, and rate of wool
growth. The flock at "Sheep Acres"
consists of approximately 200 sheep,
including rams, ewes and lambs, rep
resenting the Southdown, Shropshire,
Hampshire and Corriedale breeds.

Planting Grapevines

The most popular distances for
planting grape vines are by 8 feet
or o feet between the rows and 10
feet between the plants in the row
for vigorous varieties such as Worden
and Lucille. Grape vines should be
planted in early spring and on thor
oughly prepared ground. The hold
should be about 10 inches across and
about the same depth. The plants
should be set so /the upper end of
the old cutting, used in propagation of
the vine, shall be an inch or more be-
low the surface of the ,leveled
ground. Prune back to two strong
buds at planting time.
