men recruited from relief
rolls. Spring wheat, which IS
still in the field in the North
west, is suffering from
the scourge of black rust and its
outcome is highly uncertain.
In Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
Colorado and Texas the crop was
harvested and on its way to the
market. In Illinois approximately
Is per cent of the crop has been
thraShed.
Yields Near Estimates
Reports from most states indi-
Gated yields were running near the
governments July estimate on win
ter wheat. Although the Texas
crop of about 10000 900 bushels Of
fered a poor comparison to the
normal yield of 100000 bushels,
it was slightly above most recent
Department of Agriculture figur.e
In Colorado the crop was smaller
than anticipated, but the 37,370,000
bushels raised in Oklahoma we're in
line with expectations. The Ne
braska crop was reported to be
about equal to the government esti-
mate of 40,446,000 bushels. The
yield in Illinois was cut down mate
rally by protracted rainy season,
but the 100000 bushels raised in/
Iowa was more than twice that Of
year ago.
In Minnesota virtually all the
winter wheat was cut. Approx
mately half the spring wheat was
cut but little of it thraShed. The
yield on spring wheat was consid-
erably under government predic-
tions, due to black rust and heat.
ThraShing reports had not adj
vanced sufficiently to indicate just
how much damage the rust had
caused.
Prices Up Sharply
July 81 prices paid farmers at
elevators we're uniformly 10 cents
higher than for the corresponding
day in 1884 and 40 cents higher
than a f1ve-year average of July 81
prices.
A week ago 600 relief workers had
been given jobs in harvest fields.
The National Re- Employment Sery-
ice estimated this may now have in
creased to between 1000 and 1000.
Relief agencies said there were
plenty of relief clients anxious to
obtain farm work at prevailing
wages.
Nebraska was the only state to
suffer from the black rust plague
and premature ripening, and the
rust took a heavy toll fields in that
section. Although rust appeared in
other sections, it arrived too late to
cut down the yield.
Prices the farmer was getting for
his grain we're higher in two states,
lower in three, and unchanged in
another. Oklahoma and Colorado
farmers received better prices but
in Iowa, Illinois and Texas values
were less than last year. Nebraska
prices were about the same.
Strangely enough, many colorado
and Oklahoma producers who were
offered higher prices than a year
ago preferred to put much of their
grain into storage to await a better
market. Nebraska farmers also
were holding back high protein
wheat in anticipation OF an upturn
in values. In Illinois, Iowa and
Texas the crop was going to mar
ket right from the harvest field.

arians in Stearns county.
It is rather unfortunate that the
Bangs disease program was start
ed in the middle of the winter and
many folk who were signed up had
to wait a very long time before
their herds were tested. This was
especially bad in view Of the fact
that many farmers needed larger
amounts Of feed for their livestock
than what they had on hand al
that time. Many Of them felt that
the numbers lost through Bangs
disease might help alleviate the
feed condition as it existed.
With good roads and travel fac.
ilities now available folk signing
up on the new agreements will be
taken care of in the shortest pos.

POISONED BRAN WILL
MAKE CUTWORMS BEHAVE

If any gardener ever sets his
troubles to music and writes song
entitled, "Old Faithful" he Is sure
to pick Mr.. Cutworm for his sub
ject. Of all garden pests, the cut
worm is one that Is most certain
to appear, year after year, and his
habit of cutting off young plants
makes him one Of the most des-
tructive.
Fall blowing and cleaning up
rubbish to destroy over-winter
shelter help in preventing cut
worms. Wrapping stiff paper
around the stems Of young plants
when setting them out avoids
damage. Cutworms may readily be
killed by applying bait of poison
ed bran. These practices are more
fully explained and recipes for
poison bait given, in a new Univer-
sity Farm booklet. Circular a.
"Cutworms and Army Worms" by
William c. Cook Of the Division OF
Entomology.
One reading this circular learns
that the army worm is only form
of cutworm, about dozen species
being described. Illustrations show
the life history of cutworms, in
GLIDING moth, eggs, larvae and pu-
pae. Copies Of Circular 48 are free
from county agents or the Bulletin
Office, University Farm, st. Paul.

from 68 Of the 70 Minnesota wheat
growing counties.
400 Stearns county contract

it. AZ non-signers voted in favor
and % were opposed.
About II per cent of all of the

Agricultural Notes
MINNESOTA RANKS HIGH
IN NUMBER OF HORSES

IN NUMBER OF HORSES
With $4,000 horses on it's farms,
valued at $57 1851, 900, Minnesota
ranks second among all the states
in the number Of horses, says A. L.
Harvey, horse authority, University
Farm, st. Paul Mr.. Harvey cites
the figures from a recent state
ment by the U. s. Department of
Agriculture, which shows that only
Iowa has more horses than Mime
sofa, and only Iowa and Illinois
surpass Minnesota in the total
value of horses on farms.
Though Minnesota is rightly
considered a leading dairy state,
the total value of horses on Goph-
er State farms exceeds the total
value Of milk cows and heifers by
more than s12OOO,OOO," says Mr..
Harvey. 1.-THE combined total value
of sheep and hogs in Minnesota Is
just a little over one-third the to-
tai value Of horses.
"In spite Of the fact that automo-
biles and tractors have replaced a
great many horses during the last
Is years, Minnesota farmers have
continued to use and raise horses,
and as result are fairly well sup
piled with horses now when there
is a shortage Of draft animals in
the United States. Horses are
bringing higher prices this year
than at any time since the world
war. Prices will undoubtedly stay
up until horse breeders are able to
raise enough colts to provide and
maintain adequate requirements"
Mr.. Harvey predicts.

It is expected that fall public sales
will be conducted in several nor
thern Minnesota counties, Mr.. VIII
dos said.
Appraisers are T. J. Welsh and
Carl Mousky, Thief River Falls;
F. B. GetcheH and o. I. Buckmas-
ter. Bemidji, and ]. c. Long and
liver visited, Hibbing.
Requests for leasing the state
owned lands should be made to an
appraiser or to r. Ray Kreis, state
squatter agent, North Hibbing.
Establishment Of camp grounds
on state forest and state lands will
be stressed this summer in nor
them Minnesota, according to
Grover Comet, Director of the
State Division of Forestry and
Fire Prevention. Physical i'm
provements will be made under
the Emergency Conservation Work
program Of the Federal govern
ment with work to be done by
members Of the Civilian Conser-
walton Corps.
Preliminary plans have been
completed following surveys Of
desirable locations. Mr.. Comet
said. Picnic grounds will be de-
veloped and scenic sites improved.
Overnight camps will be provided
at stratogical points and regular
tourist camp sites win be included
in the program. Camping for
fishermen will be accomplished
with better facilities along high
ways and well known trout
streams.
Purposes of state forest camp
grounds development are to con-
centrate the uses Of fire in pro-
tected and safe areas and thus
reduce fire hazards.
Mr.. Comet pointed out that 'the
camp grounds will make recrea-
tional uses of state forests more
easily available to the average
citizen" Minnesota's scenic beau
ties and wealth of natural re-
sources win be more advantageous
ly displayed and conservation will
be encouraged and fostered with
the general public as a result Of
recreational improvements ON the
state forests.

The Garden
Department
By Ferdinand Wiener

Most of us have our spring
planting done by this time, al
though seeds Of some ANNALS may
still be set out as well as young
plants. We are all more busy now
fighting the weed army and also
should be prepared from air at
tacks from the bugs and so on,
by keeping some spray material
on hand, such as Evergreen, Black
Leaf 40 and other similar brands.
This is also a good time to work
up a good, pulverized mulch about
the plants to prepare for the hot,
dry days that are quite certain to
come.
Hibiscus plants may be easily
moved, and set wherever wanted,
as they have made but little
growth, compared to other peren-
malls.
Sow some ANIMALS among the
tulips If not done so far. The less
vigorous types are perhaps more
desirable to SOW in tulip beds.
Iris in the writer's garden have
begun to slowly open. Walhalia,
Queen Of May, Rose Unique and
Sherwin-W Wright are the first to
open. It seems that the colors In
iris are better than last year, more
true to type, doubtless due to
more moisture and cooler weather.
Within another week, there
should be many varieties of iris
opening in my garden. Everyone Is
invited to inspect when the rain
bow flowers, as the iris Is some
times called, are open. I will have
about sixty varieties in bloom this
year.

REPORT SHOWS HENS
PAY FOR GOOD FEEDING

Poultry raisers show lot Of diff
ference in results. This may be
seen from the seventh annual re-
port Of the Farm Management Ser
vice provided by the divisions of
agricultural economics and Of ex-
tension, University Farm, st. Paul,
for farmers in eight counties in
southeastern Minnesota.
Feed costs and returns from
poultry on ia farms in the region
covered, show a striking range. The
average total feed cost on the ia
farms was $1.46. The average re-
turns above feed costs were 81
cents. Compare these figures with
those Of the "a farms having high
est returns above feed costs. The
average costs on these "a farms
was $1.8S, which was AZ cents a
hen higher than the average on all
farms. But look at the returns
above feed costs-$2.O1 for the "a
farms against 81 cents for the
average.
Wherein lay the difference?
Well, it is shown in the number of
eggs produced. The average farm
got 118 eggs per hen, whereas the
"a farms that got the best results,
got 1853 eggs per hen. There was a
slight difference, also, in the price
received for eggs. The average
farm received 1873 cents a dozen,
whereas the "a farms received 1877
cents per dozen. The average num-
Der of hens carried was 200 per
farm. For the "a farms, the aver
age was 1913. But here is another
interesting item: 76 per cent of the
hens on the average farm were pull
lets, while "a per cent Of those on
the "a farms were pullets.
