that many Of these fields will have
to be disked up and replanted. and
that Virginia may have a lot Of late

For veral years. Virginia
farmers have been warned not to
plant corn too early. and not to

Several specimens Of tobacco in
fected with anthracnose. a com
naratively new tobacco disease in
Virginia, have been received. Where
an adequate blue mold control pro-
oram has been followed, neither
blue mold nor anthracnose has been
a problem.
Again this year tobacco growers
are sending in specimens damaged
by hormone-type material This
has been caused, in the cases
checked, by using a contalner that
rad previously contained a weed or
brush killer, to apply chemicals to
'obacco. Even storing a container
next to 2.4-D can contaminate it.
Pythium is beginning to show up
in tobacco fields, and will probably
continue to be problem for a

\ is the answer to the question, "hoW
did this nation become a land OF
plenty?" That is the answer be-
cause we do not necessarily have
more land or more fertile land than
other nations. This country has
about seven per cent Of the world S
people and six per cent Of its land
which makes us about average in
terms of land per person
How then is this country able to
produce so much more food per
capita population than other parts
of the Worldwide as much grain
per person. for example, as South
America and more than three times
as much as Asia?
The answer is high production
per farm worker In the United
States productive power per man is
multiplied through the use of mod
ern farm equipment Here. instead
of producing the energy to do the
work the American farmer makes
use of mechanical energy. He is
not the source of power-he is the
director of power. Mechanization in
the harvest of wheat is one of the
best examples Of this

Back to History
This is what l dug up. in brief
that is. Aside from the sickle, which
dates back at least to 5000 B. c.,
there was little mechanization OF
the harvest until the middle l8O0's
In the 1905 the reaper came of
age in Amei'ica-a great forward
stride from the cradle. 1t cut labor
more than half and permitted a
more timely harvest BY 1878. the
Irvine binder was heralded the ma
chine of the day The binder was
the first equipment to be adapted
to power take-off operation from
the tractor 1919.
Despite their contribution to prog
ress. the binders were destined to
give way to the combined harves-
ter-thresher. In 1888, combine pro-
duction went ahead Of binders to
stay. and another fascinating chap
ter in the history Of farm mechani-
cation was fast fading into pages
of history.
In the early l8O0's many small
threshing devices were used in this
country Most Of them were oper-
ated by tread or horsepower, al
though some of the old ground
hogs were turned by hand See
pictures. The tread mill at Good
wyn's is a typical example
Significant Improvement
A significant Improvement came
in the l850's when the vibration or
shaker principle was employed tc
separate grain from the straw. This
was the straw rack type of threshei
which soon replaced the origina
apron type.

Cured that such a method of har-
vesting must now be rarity. In
aeed, it Is rare, according to farm

United States.
Sampling Of Statistics
A sampling OF statistics on wheat
combines used in this nation and
in this state is ample evidence of
the change to mechanization in har-
vesiing wheat. In 1850. there were
7l2, 633 combines in use in this coun-
try; 1888 of them in use in Virginia
BY 1858, the total for the nation had

Dairy Heifers Grow
Best On Alfalfa

Dairy heifers can be successfully
raised TO calving time on a ration
using only $40 pounds of whole
milk. 400 to 500 pounds of grain,
and unlimited amounts of good al
falfa hay.
Substituting silage for hay caused
lower feed consumption, lower rate
Of gain, lower weight at calving.
and slightly lower milk and butter
fat production during the fir $ t
lactation. Production and body
weight equalized as the cows be-
came older. Production was the
same during the second lactatlon
for animal that were reared on sill
age and those reared on hay Body
weight was equalized by the fifth,
sixth, or seventh year of age.
From practical standpoint,
Griffith says, dairymen who find it
advisable or necessary to feed wilt
ed alfalfa silage or corn silage to
dairy heifers should routlnely sup
plement the silage with the hay at
the rate of one pound of hay for
each 100 pounds of the calls body
weight, or by using two pounds of
grain per heifer per day. Dairy
calves raised in this way will gain
only slightly less than those that
have free choice to top quality al
falfa hay
The researchers were at a loss
to explain why the calves eating
silage alone ate considerably less
total dry matter than did the calves
that were fed hay alone or silage
plus hay or grain.
In interpreting the results Grit
fifth says Virginia dairymen should
keep in mind that the alfalfa silage
used in the test was made by the
willing method, and that it con-
tanned only about 20 per cent
moisture. Direct-cut alfalfa silage
would produce less satisfactory re
suits than the Wilted silage.

Rundown On Plant
Diseases Given
BY Pathologist

Crown and stem rot has been the
most common disease of alfalfa
and clovers this spring in Virginia,
reports S. B. Femme, plant patholo-
gist at VPI.
Lack Of nodulation a o has
caused widespread trouble. About
the only practical thing to do about
this, Femme says, is to pillow up the
field and reseed.
Downy mildeW is prevalent on
young alfalfa. 1t causes the plants
to turn yellow, but rarely kills al
falfa. Control treatments usually
are not necessary Blackstem has
been more prevalent this year than
usual. During normal warm grow
ng weather both doWny mildeW and
blackstem will usually disappear,
and the plants not seriously dam
aged will recover and do well for
the rest Of the year. Alfalfa that is
severely infected with blackstem
should be cut earlier than usual
Twist disease of wheat has
showed up for the first time in Vir-
ginia. It was very destructive on
two farms in Pittsylvania, causing
an estimated 100 per cent loss on
one Of them. Both farmers had used
homegrown seed from the same
source. Wheat nematodes we're also
present in all of the twist speci-
mems. Femme says twist can be con
trolled by using clean. disease-free.
certified seed, in a field where
wheat has not been grown for three
to five years.
Several cases of foot rot of wheat,
rye. oats. and barley have been re-
ceived at the VPI plant disease
clinic. Wherever nonrecommended
varieties Of oats were planted Sc
we're injury occurred from Victoria
blight. This has been poor season
for oats. and farmers who planted
nonrecommended varieties are pay
ing the penalty. Several cases of
blast and red leaf have been re-
ported. Apparently both Of these are
associated with unfavorable grow
ing conditions and soil fertility.
Poor growing conditions have also
resulted in many complaints about
corn. Farmers apparently are max
ing the mistake of applying fertil
izer in the row when the corn is
planted. When the corn fails to grow
off because Of cold weather. the
fertilizer in contact with the young
roots causes severe injury and ere

It's grain harvesting time again
The farmer himself knows this for
a fact particularly since he has
had a perfect season for harvesting
his wheat and other small grains.
He knows il too because perfect
season is a hot and dry one. and
that is exactly what he has had
this summer.
Then, there is the man like my

and harvests it. Have you the you
