Timothy Acreage
Much Too Large

able in the years to come, and a
substitution of alfalfa acreage for
timothy acreage may lie anticipated
in this area.
New Use for Timothy.
SIN all areas where soil or climate,
or both, are unfavorable to legume
hay crops, but are favorable for tim
othy," Mr.. Parker concluded, "timo-
thy will persist as an important forage
for farm horses, and in somewhat
restricted degree, as compared with
former times, for cattle. A new use
for timothy as a soil binder and green
manure crop may develop also in the
Southern states that will augment the
demand for timothy seed"
Mr.. Parker furnished statistics
showing that although timothy hay
acreage has decreased in the last few
years, the decrease has not been
equal to the decreased demand for
timothy. MotoriZation of industries
in cities has reduced the demand, and
increased production of annual leg
umes and Johnson grass in the South
has curtailed the demand for north
ern-grOwn timothy.

Roster of Grape Lists
Hundreds of Varieties

To most of us grape is just a
grape. We know two kindS-sweet
and sour. But to the expert in grape
culture there are more distinct kinds
than there are divisions of the human
race. Worden, Concord, Hicks. Her
bert, Isabella, Ontario, Ripley, Broc-
ton, Caco, Dunkirk, Martha-the list
runs into hundreds of names and va
rieties, divided broadly into three
groups red, white and blue.
What's more, the Burbanks of the
grape arbors are constantly evolving
new varieties and just now are enthu-
siastic over a blue grape, the Sheri-
dan, evolved by the Geneva IN. -
state experiment station, which, ac-
cording to The Farm Journal, is like
ly to prove a serious rival to the Con-
cord, which until now has been king
of grapes.
Incidentally, it is interesting to note
how the many varieties grown today
have come into being, all evolved
from the wild grapes of our primeval
forests. The Concord, for example,
was brought into the world IS years
ago by one Ephraim Bull who crossed
a wild fox-grape with his cultivated
Catawba variety.

SKILLFUL BEEF PRODUCERS CAN

penditure of money in the improve
ment of beef CATTLE" he said, "are
obtained by the use of carefully
selected, pure-bred bulls. The prob
lem, moreover, is not so much that
of obtaining animals superior to any
which we have today as of learning
to appraise accurately the most val
liable among those we already have.
ITO learn how to produce and rec
ognize beef sires whose offspring will
yield uniformly high-quality steaks

French Bathers Fond
of Brilliant Plumnpe

The French are a decorative and
decoration-loving people and they let
themselves go when they indulge this
instinct at the seaside, according to
Bettina Bedwell In Liberty.
At some Of the beaches the men
appear in blazers that make the avn
ings and parasols blush modestly,
while the women wear everything
from chiffon to birch-bark bathing
suits, and their poignoirs resemble
gorgeous tropical birds. "At Deau-
ville," she writes, anything goes, and
it is here you find sensational and
freakish bathing clothes-such as bead
ed bathing suits and those made of
feathers.
"The Lido is consecrated to pa
jamas, and bathing suits don't matter
very much; while LIE Touquet, Dinard,
La Baule and other resorts On the
northwest coast are backgrounds for
the more substantial and less sensa-
tional models"

sour task is to produce by wise
selection, proper feeding, and intelli-
gent management beeflanimal. every
cut of which will yield tender, juicy
dish," said E. w. Sheets, chief of the
animal husbandry division, bureau Of
animal industry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, in an ad-
dress June % before a meeting Of
live stock specialists at Grain Valley,
Mo. In his opinion this goal can be
attained.
In discussing the results Of skillful
cattle breeding, Mr.. Sheets said: I'VE
have animals today whose chuck cuts
will produce a more toothsome steak
or roast than lOin or rib cut from
cattle less prideful of ancestry and
less favored in the feed lot"
Using ''The Beefsteak Sire" as the
topic for his address, Mr.. Sheets ex-
planned the difficulty growers have
in determining the value of bulls of
the beef breeds. and especially in
knowing what characteristics beef
sire will transmit to his offspring.

Some of Old Meadows Best
Abandoned Because of
Lack of Demand.

Prepared by the United States Department
of AgricutureI
Declaring the hay acreage of the
United States is overexpanded at the
present time, Edward G. Parker, hay
marketing specialist of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
told the twentieth annual convention
of the Farm Seed Association of
North America, at Chicago, recently,
that timothy and timothy mixed hay
acreage may be expected to decrease
during the next decade.
The least needed and least produc-
tive meadows in our overeXpanded
acreage, he said, are the old timothy
meadows in the. East North Central
and North Atlantic states, and the
prairie meadows in the North Central
and South Central states. Some of
these old timothy meadows, he pre-
dicted, will be abandoned or convert
ed into permanent pastures because
the demand for timothy in the cities
to absorb all the surplus hay possible
. of production on these lands.
No Logical Facts for Forecast.
Looking further" Mr.. Parker de-
clared, ito that time when the present
downward trend of live stock popu-
lation ceases and an upward trend
begins, we have no logical facts on
which to base forecast that timo-
thy acreage will increase and return
to its former extent. The hay habits
and requirements of the country have
changed materially in the past twenty
years and when the need for a great
er hay acreage does arise we may
expect that the increase will be large
ly of alfalfa, clover, soy beans and
other annual legumes."
1t should be remembered, however,
the speaker pointed out, that there
are extensive areas in that part of
the United States between the At
lantic seaboard and the Missouri
river and north of latitude SO degrees
that are naturally adapted to the
growth of timothy and in which the
soil areas suitable for alfalfa, clover
and other legumes are limited. so that
the present timothy acreage will not
be supplanted wholly by other hay
crops A material substitution of
timothy -and-clOver-mixed acreage for
pure timothy acreage is highly prob

An over-fat chicken is not as a rule
a good layer. A hen should be plump
and in good flesh, also in fairly

tains 20 per cent or perhaps slightly
more of meat scraps of so per cent

want very little heavy grain in the

Water and Land

In the larger part of the irrigated
sections of the United States, accord
/ ing to the specialists of the United

"the water has a greater value than
the land, there being plenty of land
and very limited water supply. The
values of water and land are hard to
determine separately. Improved land,
and especially land devoted to more
valuable crops, often is regarded as
having high value; yet were this land
deprived of its water it might be val

Control Bean Beetle by
Calcium ArSenate DuStS

The Mexican beetle which attacks
beans Is leaf-eating insect and can
be controlled with calcium arsenate
dusts. Either of the following mix
lures is effective:
Calcium arsenate ..........1 pound.
Sulphur (fine busting grade) / pound.
Hydrated lime ............ ! POUNDS.
(or)
Calcium arsenate ...........1 pound.
Hydrated lime ..............7 pounds
The first application sho'ld be made
when eggs are found or the leaves,
and several successive 1ustings may
be necessary to secure proper control.
Use at the rate of Is t. 20 pounds per
acre. Take care to dust the plants
evenly and thoroughly and to cover
the under surfaces of the leaves. A
dust gun with an L-nozzle is most
efficient in reaching the undersides of
the leaves.

Cut Oats for HAY

Oats cut just as the kernels are
beginning to reach the hard dough
stage and while some of the leaves
are still a little green make good
quality hay. Dat hay is not as good
as clover hay, but it is equal to the
ordinary mixture of clover and timo-
thy. 1t is wonderfully fine horse
hay. We know of farmer who has
used oat hay year after year for the
last six years with very good results.
With oat hay it is possible to get
away from the expense of threshing.

Cooling Milk and Cream

A simple method of cooling milk and
cream on the farm comprises setting
the can into which the milk or cream
is strained, In a tank of cold water.
The contents of the can should be
stirred frequently until temperature
of 80 degrees f. or lower is reached.
This method. although not as rapid as
a surface cooler, does away with the
expense of buying a cooler, requires
less labor in washing, and the chances
for RECOMMENDATION are reduced.

Ancient Saving

The famous saying, "You can't eat

from a poem by George Herbert, the

titled 'The Size," was published with
many others after the poets death.
The exact quotation is: "Wouldst
thou both eat thy cake and have it?"
Plautus, the Roman dramatist who
lived more than 200 years before
Christ, wrote something similar. he
