The incubator should be disin
fected thoroughly after each hatch,
the disinfectant being thoroughly
applied to all interior parts after
the machine has been cleaned and
all dirt and down removed. Care
should be taken to use an efficient
disinfectant, such as a saponified
cresol solution. After the hatching
season is over, clean and disinfect
the incubator, empty the lamp, and
carefully store the parts inside the
machine.
The large losses to oat growers
caused by the smut diseases can
be almost wholly prevented by dis
infecting the seed with formalde
hyde shortly before sowing. One
pint of formaldehyde added to 40
gallons of water is enough to treat
50 bushels of seed. Sprinkle the
solution on the seed while it is
being shoveled from one pile to
another, cover with blankets and
leave for at least 2 hours, or over
night. Care to avoid freezing or
heating is essential, and if sowing
is delayed the seed should be spread
out and dried.
Farm fires each year take the
lives of about 3,500 people and de
stroy or damage property to the
extent of $150,000,000. The prin
cipal causes of fires in order of
their national importance, accord
ing to David J. Price and Harry
E. Roethe of the United States de
partment of agriculture, are: lightn
ing, defective chimneys and heat
ing apparatus, sparks on combusti-
ble roofs, careless use of matches
and smoking, spontaneous ignition
of hay and other agricultural pro I
ducts, careless handling and storage
of gasoline and
kerosene,
and
faulty wiring and improper use of
electrical appliances.
Weeds in the seed wheat are a
common means of increasing the
weed crop on farms wherever wheat
is grown. In an investigation to
determine the amount and kinds of
weed seeds being sown with wheat,
55 samples of seed wheat were col
lected from as many grain drills
operating on farms in the main
spring-wheat areas of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, Only two
drills were sowing clean seed. The
seed wheat in the others contained
an average of 2 per cent by weight
of weed seed, indicating that an
average of 53,000 weed seeds per
acre were being sown on these 53
farms. When weeds in large num
bers grow in the field with wheat,
they crowd and shad,- the crop, and
use moisture and fertility in the
soil that would otherwise he avail
able for the wheat. Clean land and
pure seed will result in the pro
duction of more wheat, and it will
bring a better price on the market.
