Bread wheat was hard hit in many
sections. There is danger that
smut diseased seed will he sown
on many farms this spring. Seed
grain may appear to be perfect,
yet may have smut spores or
seeds clinging to it. Every spore
may sprout into several threads
and every thread may attack tn,
young wheat sprout and grow up
inside the stem of the plant.
What to do? A coating of cop
per carbonate dust over the wheat
kernel will kill the smut spores and
give the wheat chance. A good
grade of dust should he mixed thor
oughly with the seed. For seed
wheat apply to each bushel two
ounces of copper carbonate dust
that contains about 20 per cent
copper.
Formaldehyde should be used
for oats and barley, for copper
carbonate does not prevent smut
on these grains. For about so
bushels of grain mix one pound

40 gallons of water.

Direct shipments of alfalfa to
dairymen in Wisconsin, Iowa, Illi-

ia, have been made possible under
United States standards and Fed

Chicago, Powell, Wyoming, Garden
City, Kansas; and Lexington and

al hay inspectors are located and
where hay dealers and cooperating
marketing associations will take
orders on the basis. of Federal
grades.

finite grades with request that

good hay. Should dispute arise
a Federal inspector may be called
in to determine the facts. Buyers
are advised that the prices on these
u. S. grades of alfalfa are some
what higher than on common

inspected hay do not often ac-
company hay of the best grades
for dairy feeding.
This direct marketing of alfalfa
is reported to be growing to con-
siderable proportions in the Platte
River Valley of Nebraska, where
farmer producers of alfalfa have
formed an association and are SELL

Agricultural Notes
Dairymen's Confusion in Buying
Alfalfa

Complaints of many dairyne
in Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, ln,'i-
ana, Ohio, and M lnesota, that
their orders for alfalfa are mn
properly filled by shippers in Mich
igan, Nebraska, Kansas, eastern,
South Dakota, eastern Colorado,
and Wyoming, indicate that III
most cases the dairym II are uSn.g
indefinite descriptive terms in plac-
ing their orders, the Bureau of Ag-
ricrltural Econom cs, Un..ed
States Department of Agriculture,
has announced.
General specifications in orders
such as "good feeding alfalfa"
"choice," or 'pea green leafy aa-
falfa," either may be interpreted
differently by shippers and buyers,
or make possible deliberate this
representation, the department
says. In either case controversies
and reflections often arise that are
costly to both shippers and buyers.
Use of Federal grades and inspec-
ton are advocated to correct the
situation.
Dairymen require leafy we'll
cured alfalfa with high protein
content and high palatability. Be
ing unable to obtain the quality of
alfalfa wanted, they frequently
buy protein in the form of mill
feeds which are relatively high in
price and which department ex-
perts declare are not complete
substitute in feeding for protein
forage such as alfalfa.
The Federal hay standards are
based upon definite color and for
eign material specifications, and,
in case of alfalfa, for leafiness al
so. The grade U. S. No. 1 AL
falfa means a type of hay that is
60 per cent or more natural green,
40 per cent leafy, and which does
not contain over 5 per cent of for
eign material and 5 per cent grass
es. The specifications are definite
and can he definitely interpreted
and applied by Federal inspectors
to determine controversies and dis
puted contracts. The grades por-
tray definite types of hay COM
monty produced and provide a
common language for all people
to use who produce, buy, sell, and
feed hay.
Inspection of hay moving in in
terstate commerce is not compul-
sorry under such laws as prevail
for grain, although eighteen States
have adopted the Federal standards
as official State standards. A Fed

Rabbit Skins

More than 10O,000,O00 rabbit
skins are now utilized annually in
this country, about SO per cent of
which are imported. Of this num-
Der about IS, 1000, dressed and dyed
are made into fur garments and
into trimmings for women's coats,
suits, and dresses. The remainder,
not suitable for garments, are used
as Innings for mems and boys
gloves and in the manufacture of
felt, used chiefly for making hats.
With the disappearance of many
of the fne-pelted fur bearers from
many parts of the United States,
the use of rabbit skins is steadily
increasing. Aided by modern pro-
cesses, American fur dressers and
dyers have become so expert in
changing the colors and appearance
of furs that in many instances the
pelt of the rabbit, under a variety
of trade names, is replacing other
skins more costly and attractive,
as ermine, seal, beaver, and Loop
ard.

Heaves


Heaves of horses usually fol-
lows digestive troubles due to
wrong or careless feeding, says the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. Feeding damaged hay or
straw, too bulky roughages and
feed lacking in nutritive value,
and keeping the horse in dusty
atmosphere, or a badly ventilated
stable, either cause or tend to
cause heaves. Horses brought
from high to a low level are al
so likely to get the disease.
Heaves is incurable because it
leads to the rupture of small all
sacs in the lungs. Medicine can
not, of course restores these.

Grain Smut Robber Can Be
Driven Out

Wheat, oats, barley, and rye
are subject to one or more of the
smuts which destroy about five
million dollars worth of grain in
Minnesota every year, according
to plant disease specialists of the
University of Minnesota. This i'm
mense loss can be prevented, they
say, by treating the seed at cost
OF less than four cents an acre
SHUTS of oats cause enormous
losses, sometimes affecting 90 per
cent of the crop.

Another Ham Improvement

Another Ham Improvement
Ham souring, caused by a group
of bacteria, may he prevented by
thorough chilling Immediately af-
ter slaughter and by maintenance
of low temperature until the
hams have absorbed sufficient salt
to hold the organisms in perma-
nent check. This important dis
covery is the result of experiments
conducted by j.. "A. Boyer of the
meat inspection service of the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture. Such contributions to
the livestock and packing indus
tries make Federal meat inspection
a distinct asset to those enterpris-
es as well as a safeguard to the
health of consumers.

Marie Provost and Monte Blue are the co-stars of a picture to be distrib- uted by Principal Pictures, Inc, un- der the title Daughters of Pleasure" This will be the first appearance of these two favorites since their associa- tion in ''The Marriage Circle"
 Daughters of Pleasure" tells the story of a family of nouveau riches. Unbalanced by their sudden affluence the family outstrip the "idle rich" in pleasure seeking.
 Under these influences Hadley does what so many rich men have done. He believes himself young again simply because frivolous young women beam on him in return for his gifts; with the usual result that his faithful and becomingly reserved wife is forgotten The daughter takes up with a fast set and learns to regard lightly things which in truth are 1ife's greatest treasures. Almost complete ruin threatens this family. Unity and the restoration of balance is brought about only after suffering and biting anixety have stung it's members into wakefulness from the intoxication of their wealth. They learn that nancy is not what they had thought it and realize that riches is certainly not to be used as they had been using it.
