Value of Plant Food Wasted

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The value of plant food wasted In
the erosion or washing away of soils
on the farms of the United States is
estimated most conservatively by
scientists In the United States De-
partment of Agriculture as IN excess
of S2,O0OOO0.0O0 year. This esti-
mate is based on the value of the
principal chemical constituents, nitro
gen, phosphoric acid and potash, as
they are purchasable in the cheapest
kinds of commercial fertilizers and
does not take into account the value
of the soil as an agency for making
use of these plant foods.
This sum is about twenty times the
value of all the plant food removed by
growing crops. The real "soil miner"
is not the one who grows crop after
crop of the same kind without replac-
ing plant food, but rather the one who
allows his precious soil to be washed
away, his land to be quilted and de-
stroyed, or the top soil to be removed
by sheet erosion. Some of the prac-
tices responsible for this tremendous
annual loss. immediate and to pos
terity, are unwise clearing of areas
which should remain in forest, unwise
breaking for cultivation or sloping
fields subject to erosion, unwise cul-
tivation of soils that erode easily, and
failI1rp t0 terrace lands that could he

Large Annual Injury by
Smut Can Be Prevented
by Using Solution.
Prepared by the United States Department

Prepared by the United States Department

The large annual losses In oat
yields due to smut disease can be al
most wholly prevented simply by dip
ping, spraying or sprinkling the seed
with formaldehyde solution short
time before sowing, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The Importance of smut in oats is
quite generally overlooked because
Its effect is inconspicuous at harvest
time and the market value of the
threshed grain is usually not I'M
paired. During the past ten years
for which records are available oat
smuts have taken estimated annual
tolls ranging from 29,000,000 to 9l,-
100000 bushels and an estimated av-
erage annual loss amounting to AS
991, 200 bushels.
Use of Formaldehyde.
One pint of formaldehyde, which
may be readily obtained at any drug
store. is sufficient to treat 90 bushels
of seed oats. Several methods of ap-
plying the solution are effective, and
the one to use is only matter of pref
erence For the spray method, mix
pint of formaldehyde with l pint of
water and pour into a quart sprayer.
If fewer than 80 bushels are to be
treated, use correspondingly small
er quantity of the solution. Shovel
the cats from one pile to another
spraying each shovelful. A scoop
shovelful of seed requires about four
strokes of the piston of the spray gun.
After the oats are sprayed, shovel
them into pile and cover with blank
cts or sacks that have been thorough
ly sprayed to kill smut spores. The
pile should remain covered at least
five hours, and may be left covered
overnight. Treatment may be given
at any time previous to sowing, but
when seeding is delayed the oats
should be spread out and aired for
day before storing.
To treat 80 bushels by the "sprin-
kle method add one pint of formalde-
hyde 10 40 gallons of water and apply
with sprinkling can while the oats
are being shoveled from one pile to
another. Cover in the same way and
leave at least two hours or overnight
On removing the cover sow immedi-
ately, making allowance for the swol-
len condition of the seed when SET
ting the drill. Ii sowing is delayed.
the treated seed should be spread out
and thoroughly dried.
Another method consists in putting
the seed into loosely woven burlap or
gunny sacks and dipping the sacked
grain into a solution of one pint for
maldehyde in 40 gallons of water. Dip
the sacks of grain into the solution
two or three times, or until the grain
is thoroughly wet. Remove from the

Oats and Barley Will
Thrive on Sandy Soil

Oats and barley can be grown on
sandy land If it is properly handled.
1t is important that they be sown
early and ii would be advisable to
use the early maturing variety of oats
if oats are grown. Some strain of
the 60-day oats would be best.
AS soon as you can make the
change, you probably will get better
results from sandy land by growing
fall rye on at least a part of it. 1t
would be advisable also to sow sweet
Glover or some other legume with the
crop and pillow it under for green ma
inure. If you can get around to the
point where you are doing consider
able dairying, fall rye followed by
sweet clover pasture, and this in turn
by corn or some other cultivated crop,
would give you rotation which would
keep the land in good condition and
which would at the same time give
you satisfactory returns.

Beans All Summer

When garden runs out of beans
1t seems like it is about done for.
Maybe that is why good gardener
most always sees to 1t that he has a
succession of beans coming on all the
time. Pole beans planted in early
June should give steady supply Of
beans throughout the late summer
and fall. Bush beans ought to be
planted at intervals of two to three
weeks in order to insure enough.
one thing about beans that is in their
favor Is that any that are not-used
can be kept over.
The Ely miner., 1928-05-04
Important to Keep Up
Fertility of Orchard

Besides pruning and spraying, it is
important to keep up the fertility of
the orchard in proportion to what is
taken out. Here again, in many ILL.,
kept orchards, the manure or fertilizer
has been piled closely around the
trunk of the tree, often causing tree
rot and preventing the roots from get
ting access to the food material.
When fertilizer Is applied 1t should
be distributed on larger area. II
the grower could see the arrange
ment of the roots on the tree he
could easily grasp the idea of dis
tributing the fertilizer on a larger
area for better results. The roots
and root hairs are distributed in a
large space around the tree and it is
evident that the fertilizer must be
placed similarly.

Agricultural Squibs


Plant more carrots, beets and swiss
chard for greens.
Save the pea vines this year to turn
under as fertilizer this fall.
Try a new sweet corn this year.
There is a long list from which to
choose.
Radishes and lettuce may be plant
ed the first warm days of spring; peas
and onions may do better to wait until
the weather is more settled.
Don't plant all your carrots or beets
at one time, but make several sowings
of each, a couple weeks apart. They're
so much nicer when young and tender.
Soy beans are now grown in a wide
variety and seed house of recognized
standing should be consulted as to the
adaptability of any variety for the Sec
tion where it is desired to grow this
legume.
The most serious weed problem oc-
ours in ground continuously cropped
to grains.
Manure should not be bought from
stable where the horses have been
bedded on wood shavings. The chips
and the sawdust are likely to cause
fungoid growths, and these sour the
soil.
1t is always a good practice to test
seed corn for termination, but this
year it is more essential. Some of the
corn that has been saved for seed is
terminating as low as 40 or so per
cent.
With the introduction year by year
of splendid new plums, it seems cer-
tain that the plum must regain the
popularity it once had, and that fruit
growers will again find their culture
profitable.
1t is not always necessary to spray
a young orchard the first year, bur
should there be any evidence of leaf
eating insects or otner trouble it will
be well to apply one cover spray ir
the early part Of the season.

the Jumps or swellings where the
grubs are growing. They may be more
easily removed by inserting a sharp
pen knife into the opening where the
grub is about to escape.
Care must be taken that all the
grubs are killed as soon as they are
forced out. These grubs change into
flies later in the season which lay
eggs from which the next years crop
of grubs develop.
Cattle should be examined every
two weeks to destroy all grubs as fast
as they develop to maturity.

vapor Is Irritating.
Formaldehyde vapor irritates the
eyes, nose and throat. These effects
may be reduced by holding the spray
er close to the oats, by working from
the windward side of the treated pile,
and by doing the work in well-ventf-
lated place. After using the sprinkle
and dip methods, care should be taken
to avoid freezing or heating of wet
seed. In all methods, avoid contain
mating the treated seed. All bags,
sacks, blankets, and even the drill,
should be wet with the solution to
kill any spores present.
Surplus seed treated with formal
dehyde may be fed to live stock with
out injury, provided the grain has
been spread out first and thoroughly
dried for several days.
