Up-to-date Information to Help Develop Progressive Farming
FARM REMINDERS
Spring planting of vetch is success
ful only when planting is done early.
Planting after March 1 i. likely to
produce a low yield. O. A. C. Experi
ment station.
Persons desiring to plant potatoes in
February for early use should use
whole seed, as cut seed rots in a
cold, wet soil. Little is usually gain
ed, however, by extremely early
planting. O. A. C. ' Experiment sta
tion. Will the pullets be laying next fall
when the price of eggs is highest? A
definite hatching plan now and pro
vision for carrying out the schedule
will help toward that end. O. A. C.
Experiment station.
White Globe Turnip Best
The pomeranian white globe turnip
out-yields all other varieties by two
tons per acre for late summer and
early fall seeding finds the branch ex
periment station at Astoria. This var
iety has better keeping qualities and
a much longer feeding period than the
commonly grown cowhorn variety.
These results apply to all coast coun
ties. Auto Tires Beat Thorns
An old inner tube from a large
sized auto tire is useful when pruning
black raspberries. The berry canes
should be drawn together partly and
tied with binder twine so that they
afford mutual support " after which
they should be pruned back to a
height of about 30 inches. By draw
ing the tube over the left arm and
cutting it just beyond the hand good
protection from thorns may be had
during the pruning. O. A. C. Experi
ment station.
' Fertilizer Orders Due
Prices on fertilizers should be ob
tained at once so that orders may be
placed without delay. Land plaster
should be applied as soon as the first
warm weather comes. Other fertiliz
ers may be applied after plowing, but
as soon afterwards as possible in or
der to allow the materials to go into
solution in time to be effective for
the first crop. Quantity orders of
limestone will be necessary if the
state plant is to continue in operation,
and the price will depend largely, it
is said, on the volume of output. O.
A. C. Experiment station.
Spray Material Calculated
In figuring the amount of spray ma
terials needed allow 200 gallons of
dilute spray mixture for each acre of
trees 9 to 12 years old. The average
dilution of winter strength lime-sul-i'ur
is 12 to 100, hence to find out
the gallons of stock solution needed
multiply the number of acres, by 24
to get an approximate estimate. For
the delayed dormant spray multiply
by 7. About four pounds of arsenate
of lead per acre are needed and one
should figure on making four appli
cations a year. Thus, multiplying
acres by 16 will give a good estimate.
O. A. C. Experiment station.
Order Seed Corn Now
Because of early frosts last fall
much seed corn was injured, and farm
ers expecting to grow that crop
should obtain their seed at once to
be sure of getting good seed. In se
lecting ears from home grown sup
plies take those that are well matur
ed, sound, and medium tough. Avoid
loose or discolored ears and those
having shredded shanks, as these may
be diseased. O. A. C. Experiment
station.
SILO IS FOUND BIG
AID TO STOCKMEN
The silo is rapidly becoming rec
ognized as a necessary part of farm
equipment in every section of the
state. It formerly was thought that
the silo was best adapted to dairy
districts, but the experience of lead
ing farmers shows that it is equally
profitable for range cattle and sheep
operation.
In most places the cost of fattening
steers on a ration of hay and ensilage
has been found to be just one-half the

cost of a hay ration alone. Almost
as outstanding results , are obtained
from feeding ensilage to stock cattle
being wintered.
Many sheepmen have found that on
the average a ton of ensilage equals
two to three tons of hay in feeding
value. Ensilage thus increases the
livestock carrying capacity of their
land and reduces the cost of livestock
production.
SEVEN SPRAYING OPERATIONS
FOR ORCHARD TREES
Seven spraying operations are nec
essary for success in commercial or
chard practice, reporetd H. P. Barss,
professor of botany and plant pathol
ogy, in a Farmers' week address and
not one of these can be omitted. The
man with a small planting on a gen
eral farm usually can not take time
for so many spraying's, but he can
produce a fair grade of fruit with
three applications of the proper spray
materials at the proper time.
"The three most common apple
diseases are 6cab, codling moth and
the scales, oyster shell and San Jose,"
said Professor Barss. "Moss is a com
mon pest in this section but if the
regular sprayings are made it will
cease to be a factor. If scale is once
htoroughly controlled, yearly spray
ing for it will not be necessary. Apple
scab is caused by a fungus which at
tacks both leaves and fruit, and win
ters on the dead leaves and may be
controlled by shallow plowing or by
burning the leaves. A rainy period is
favorable to spore production.
"In the home orchard the first
spraying should be made just before
the blossoms come out, and consists
of lime sulphur 1-30. The next should
come after the petals fall and the
third a monht later. The exact
srtength of sprays is not so vital as
the thoroughness of application.
"Anthracnose may be controlled by
the application of Bordeaux 4-4-50.
Have it on the trees when the fall
rain3 start," says Professor Barss.
"Brown rot on prunes may be reduced
by the use of Bordeaux 4-4-50, also by
thinning so the fruits do not touch.
Trees which are well pruned and
which admit light and air do not offer
a favorable home for fungi. Mummi
fied prunes should be burned or buried
as the fungus winters on these.
"Four gallons, of spray liquid will
be necessary for an ordinary tree and
from seven to nine gallons for a large
tree. Professor Barss emphasized
that every part of the tree must be
covered to make spraying most effect
ive. IMPROVED ROADS SUFFICIENT
TO ENCIRCLE THE EARTH
What the new Federal highway ap
propriation to be expended under the
direction of the Bureau of Public
Roads, United States Department of
Agriculture, will mean to the country
is accurately gauged in a synopsis
prepared by the bureau, showing the
use to which the $275,000,000 previous
ly appropriated by Congress has been
put Up to December 31, $212,077,246
had been rut to work in projects
either entirely complete or under
construction. To match that amount
the States appropriated $285,379,312,

St Between Main and Water Sts.
making a total of $497,456,558.
If placed end to end the roads to
be paid for by this money would en
circle hte earth at the Equator and
extend as far as from New York to
San Francisco on the second lap. The
total mileage of roads under construc
tion and completed, the department's
records show, was approximately 27,
J00 miles. Of this mileage 9,555 miles
was in projects entirely' completed.
The balance of 17,445 miles was in
projects which were still under con
struction but reported 69 per cent
joplete October 31. In those projects
.here was the equivalent of 12,000
miles of completed roads, so that the
completed road to date was more than
21,000 miles, or nearly enough to en
circle the globe.
Prior to 5 years ago the Federal
Government took no active part in the
road construction of the country. To
day about one-half of all roads under
construction are being aided financial
ly by the Federal Governent, and the
construction is subject to inspection
and approval of Federal engineers.
Poultry Pointers.
It is surprising the large percentage
of farmers and poultry raisers who do
not take advantage of the broiler jnar-
ket. This is the poultry raisers'
greatest opportunity for making mon
ey. Broilers weigh from 1 1-2 to 2 1-2
pounds. The highest price comes in
March and is often as high as 60
to 70 cents a pound at that time.
Chicks hatched in January, February
and March can be developed into the
broiler size in from eight to ten weeks.
Just think of the opportunity lost by
the poultry raiser who does not sell
broilers.
In most instances it pays to ship
the broilers direct to the commission
houses in the city. The coops are
returned at a small expense, usually
from 15 to 25 cents each. This
extra profit pays the poultrymen well
for his work.
Hatching early chicks is done more
successfully with incubators, as few
hens want to begin to set at that
time, besides the profit in the hen is
in keeping her laying high , priced
eggs at this time of the year. If
you have never practiced hatching
early chicks for broilers, try it this
year, using at least a small size incu
bator. Those who have once sold
early broilers seldom fail to repeat
it the following season.
The early cricks are kept comfort
able if given a snug brooder house
and a common sense kind of brooder.
