Better Crop Plans
Boost Farm Income
BY j. B. McNulty, Through Ar.
rangement With e. G. LEM
mier, County Agent

BY making a wiser choice OF
crops to grow, many a Minnesota
farmer could enjoy a much larger
income. It is fact very commonly
overlooked that in any particular
locality certain crops may yield ac-
tually twice as much feed as others
grown on the same land. More
about these differences in crop
yields and what to do about them
arc explained below.
Average acre yields for the eight
most important feed crops for this
area of the state, during the 10
year period, 1920, were as fol
lows: Corn 38 bushels, Alfalfa hay
2.5 tons, barley, 80 bushels, Red and
Alsike Glover, 10 tons, oats 80 bu-
shells, Sweet clover 1.6 tons, corn
silage tons, Timothy hay 1.6 tons.
These are figures from the u. s
Census for Minnesota type-of-farm-
ing area No. 2, which includes the
following counties: Blue Earth,
Carver, Dakota, Freeborn, Kandi
yohi, LeSueur, Mcleod, Meeker
Nicollet, Rice, Scott, Sibley, Stearns
Steele, Waseca and Wright.
When considering how much
feed a farm produces, it would be
misleading to think merely about
tons or bushels. Everyone knows
that a ton of corn silage is worth
much less than a ton of grain feed
because of the high proportion of
water contained in the silage. A
better way to compare feed is to al
low for surplus moisture and ex-
press the amount in pounds in dry
matter.
The top row Of bars in the ac-
companying diagram compares the
eight feeds in pounds Of dry mat
ter per acre. Many farmers will be
surprised at the wide differences
in the actual amount of feed fur
nished per acre by the various
crops. For example, corn silage
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1937-01-28

which yields more than three times
the tonnage per acre that alfalfa
does, furnishes only about the
same amount of feed on the dry
matter basis.
Expressing amounts of feed in
dry matter makes no allowance for
the large amounts of indigestible
fiber contained in some Of the
feeds. Another way Of measuring
feeds has been worked out which
eliminates both excess moisture
and excess fiber, this being the
measure known as total digestible
nutrients. How each principal crop
compares in this regard Is given in
the bottom row of bars on the
chart. These are worth special
study.
Having such facts to guide him, a
farmer should see quite readily
which crops to plant If he wants to
produce the most livestock feed. In
normal practice, of course, the
choice of crop must be made with
several other things in mind, such
as whether the crops are to be fed
or sold, the type of livestock to
which they are to be fed, the labor
supply of the farm, the adaptable
ity of the different crops to the
soils, and the need for cropping
system that will not only give a
high output of feed, but which will
maintain the productivity of the
land from year to year.
Farmers who sell cash crops or
who need large supplies of concen-
trates for hogs, poultry or feeder
cattle are not as likely to find it to
their advantage to increase the
acreage of legumes as are farmers
needing large quantities Of rough
ages. Cash crop farmers will be
more interested in growing legumes
because they help the yields Of 9TH
er crops than because of the extra
feed they furnish. However, most
farmers need large quantities OF
good roughages and by growing
more legumes will gain through a
larger and cheaper feed supply as
wei! as through higher yields.
Soils subject to erosion will be
benefited by seeding high per
cent of the land to legumes.

The tiny rings on the fish scales,
DR.. Eddy declares, correspond to
the annual rings in trees and tell
a somewhat similar story Of
growth. Differing from tree rings,
however, those in the fish scale
may number from a dozen to 16 or
more annually. For example, the
common sucker may have approx
mately Is per year; the walleyed
pike, 16.
DR.. Eddy, directing crew Of
10 NYA workers in his laboratory
has tested the walleyed pike, pick
erel or Great Northern Pike, large
mouth black bass, lake trout, COM
mon white fish, crappies, blue gills,
herring, sunfish, carp, buffalo fish
and the common sucker.
The walleyed pike, reputedly the
biggest eater among the fishes Is
also faster growing than his
brothers, with the Great Northern
Pike, or pickerel next White. fish
and herring are listed among the
slower growing fish with bass,
crappies, sunfish and trout as
somewhat more rapid. Expert
ments have shown also that the
growth velosity" varies in diff
ferent lakes, due possibly to food
shortage or other causes.
The common sucker, according
to DIR. Eddy, Is providing research
ers with an interesting study.
Found in nearly all lakes, It Is a
fairly fast growing fish but is It
apparent that IL suckers do well
in a particular locality, other fish
also thrive.
Relative to growth, It was found
that the average walleyed pike,
four years old, measured approx
mately 10 inches from the tip to
the base Of the tail. Unlike the
fisherman, DR.. Eddy does not
measure the tail itself In consid-
ering length because he has found
that tails vary. A four year old
p'ckerel averaged ~ inches while
lake trout ranged from 8 to 10
inches at that age.
Under the microscope, DR.. Eddy

Many fur-bearing animals, such
as the marten, mink and fisher, are
far too wary to 60 near a trap set
in the ordinary way. To catch them
a scent is necessary. This is made
from many different substances,
such as musk, asafetida, oil of anise
"a plant Of the parsley family. and
common fish oil. Trails of these
scents are laid from all directions
to the trap. When q fur-bearer
comes along, it smells the scent,
which is sprinkled sparingly on tree
trunks and bushes. and follows the
trail until it steps into the trap.

NO HIGHWAY LOBBY,

There will be no Highway de-

N. w. Elsberg, commissioner Of
Highways, made this clear this

revenues but would leave entirely
to the Legislature the decision as
to whether the state is to continue
a highway construction program or
restrict its activities chiefly to
maintenance.
This week, on every bulletin
board throughout the highway de-
partment, there was re-posted an
order of two years standing, serv-
ing notice that any employee Of the
Highway department who visits
the Capitol during legislative ses-
sion, without written permission
from the commissioner, will be
subject to immediate dismissal.
At the same time Commissioners
Elsberg called the turn" on lobby
ing charges made by a. member of
the Senate in a luncheon club ad-
dress. Commissioner Elsberg cited
the two-year old order, called on
the senator to give him the names
and instances when any employe or
official Of the department had en-
gagged in any lobbying" activity of
any kind, and addressed letters to

EVER LOOK AT 1T THIS WAY?


Charming Pollock in the Ameri-
car Mercury, makes the following
observations with which you may
or may not agree. Anyway, they
will stimulate your thought:
why work for money when you
can get it by voting for it?
Men die of hardening of the ar
teries; nations Of softening of the
spine.
For nearly 1000 years politicians
have remained the lowest form of
animal life.
Our difficulties are not with a
social system that won't work, but
with a society that won't work.
"a people no longer willing to do.
things for themselves naturally
jump at leader who does things
for them.
1.-The truth is this forward march
Of the world is leading back to bar
barism.
I'VE shall run out Of money, of
course, but by then we shall have
established a government and a
bureaucracy that will be independ-
ent of our votes.
1.-THE new yearning for standards
Of living that begin below the belt,
rather than above the collar have
sunk us into indifference as to con-
ditions of life and government that
no vigorous people would tolerate
for more than an afternoon.
THE great trouble with our uni
versities Is that they are spelling
thousands of good truck drivers.
Tn America almost nobody has
ever conceived Of education as
anything but a means to make
money.
America Is no longer sensible, If
indeed 1t ever was. It has gone over
to easy thinking, easy living, easy
money, ,nreasoning prejudices, and,
meaningless slogans. It has be-
come apple pie for every cheap de-
magogue and every expensive vote
buyer"
