Seed Grains Should
Be Given Real Test

To get best results, barley, flax,
and oats should be tested for ger
minating ability before being
planted next spring. According to
members of the staff of the seed
laboratory at University Farm,
many barley samples submitted for
tests exhibit the effects of heat and
moisture in stack or bin, smell
musty, are off color and terminate
poorly.
A wide range in the quality of
flax samples is noted. Some are
good and others decidedly poor.
Much of the flax is found upon ex-
animation to reflect the wet con-
ditions prevailing at many points
during the harvest. The color is Of
ten very dark.
Oats are below the average in
quality, according to these tests,
but there should be no lack of seed.
Farmers are advised by the seed
analysts to test their oats before
planting and to gauge the quantity
of seed used by the percentage of
termination.
Corn samples so far received at
the laboratory are good, and seed
wheat seems to be about the aver
age in quality. Care should he TAX
en- to avoid seed that was damaged
in the shock by wet weather. Some
of this seed sprouted and is not fit
to be SoWn.

BLUE VALLEY CREAMERY INSTITUTE

This is the average for the United
States, which is considerably lower
than is possible on good farms,
where the yield may be expected
to be greater than indicated on the
chart shown herewith.
Ten acres planted in alfalfa and
ten acres in corn for silage will
produce, in a year, IA tons more
feed than will the same amount of
land devoted to clover and timothy.
The alfalfa and corn combination
will not only outyield clover and
timothy but it will also produce a
far better balanced ration for dairy
cows and other farm animals.
This is good time to give
thought to alfalfa in planning farm
operations for next spring. Think
ing of this in winter time gives a
chance to lay plans for planting a
good acreage of alfalfa as soon as
the weather permits next season.

Agricultural Notes
Reed Canary Grass
Low in termination


The few hundred pounds Of
reed canary grass seed produced
in southern Minnesota and put on
the market last fall were quickly
disposed of says A. G.. Army of the
farm crops division of the univer-
sity and no stocks of home grown
seed are now available. The diff
ferent lots of this seed ranged in
termination power from 62 to 81
per cent.
Reed canary grass, or phalaris,
is grown in Oregon and several
tons of the seed were gathered in
that state last fall and have been
placed on the market. This seed
averages low in terminating ability
as low in some instances as 6 to
per cent.

the seed is less than 40 to so per

Good has disapproved a bill to

Acting Chairman James of the
