Farm News-Note- s By LEW MAR PRICE, Method Given For Treating Potatoes For Planting As the time approaches for planting potatoes, it is well to consider how best to handle the seed. All seed potatoes to be planted should first be treated for the externol potato diseases. This is done by soaking the seed either in a solution consisting of four ounces of corrosive sublimate to 30 gallons of water, from one to one-ha- lf hours; or by using two pints of formalin and 30 gallons of water, kept at a temperature between 121 degrees F. and 126 degrees F. and soaking the seed in it for three min- utes. Probably because of conditions not favorable to the development of potato diseases, especially in the higher altitude of our county, farmers here have not been as heavily penalized as in most places from failure to treat. However, the surface diseases are becoming established and yields ore proportionately lower. High acre yields are necessary to combat depression ant! drouth. After the treatment has been completed, the potatoes should be cut and planted, according ta J. C. Horgen-so- n, crops specialist. If the seedbed has been thoroughly prepared so that the ground is moderately moist, best results are secured by planting the seed as soon after it is cut a3 pos sible. It will then callus over in 48 hours in the soil and begin to grow. If the seed bed is rather dry and rough, then best results may be secured by cutting the seed and allowing it to callus over before planting The cut seed should, however, never be allowed to lie in direct sunlight because it withers and loses vitality; but it) should be ispread out in a moist, shady place for two or three days. It always pays, however, to have the seedbed well prepared and moist before planting. Corn Silage Good For Dairy Cattle In the middle west a dairy farmer without corn silage will usually ap- olige for being out. of it, what is considered there, the most important feed. In Utah where alfalfa can be produced much more cheaply, silage is not considered quite so essential, and yet is one of the best crops that can be grown for milk production. Work done by Carroll at the Utah Experiment Station several years ago, and reported in Bulletin No. 190, corresponds very closely with results published from Utah Station Bulletin No. 239. When fed with grain and alfalfa to dry cows it requires 2 2 to 3 pounds of corn silage to replace one pound of alfalfa. A common rule for feeding is 3 pounds of silage per day for each 100 pounds of liveweight of the cow. Each cow then would receive from 20 to 40 pounds per day, depending on the size of the animal. In sections where market milk is being produced, silage should be fed carefully to aviod any possibility of its tainting the milk. Usually, if it is fed right after milking and properly cleaned up before the next milking and the barn aired thoroughly thera should be very little or no trouble. Corn silage should not be fed to calves younger than 8 to 10 months, as it helps to cause scours. It is very satisfactory feed for heifers from 10. months or older and it has a higher replacement value than 3 to 1 as given alone. At the Missouri Station, as recorded in Bulletin No. 158, yearling heifers were fed alfalfa and corn silage at will. Each heifer ate 14.4 pounds of silage and 6.6 pounds of alfalfa per day. On this ration these heifers gained .24 of a pound more than normal. The alfalfa fed in Missouri was not so bright and palitable as most Utah alfalfa which difference might affect the rate of consumption some1-- what. County Agent Utah Farmers Plant 41,000 Forest Trees During Month Approximately 41,000 small forest trees have been shipped from the forest nursery at the Utah State Agricultural college at Logan, for planting this spring on Utah farms, to Paul M. Dunn, forester for the Utah extension service. This is an increase of more than 16 thousand trees or 65 per cent over shipments during 1932. These tree seedlings and transplants will be planted on 222 different farms in 25 counties of the state for windbreak and woodlot purposes, and were distributed at cost as a result of federal and state cooperation. Tree shipments for this year were suspended April 22, when most of the varities were completely sold out. The Siberian elm was most in demand with 13,600 shipped. Other kinds and the number shipped are: Black locust, 4,000; blue spruce, 3600; Russian olive, 3500; black walnut, 2775; honey locust, 2480; Siberian pea, 1700; Ponderose pine, 1600; Scotch pine, 1500; golden willow; sh, 1500; Brborvita, 1480; green 1460; Austrian pine, 1080; and balsam poplar, 400, Salt Lake county leads the state more than 9550 trees being planted Other' counties, in on 40 farme. which more than 1000 trees are being set out this spring, are: Utah, 6350; Weber, 2975; Millard, 2750; lien, 2212; Sanpete, 2091; Box Elder, 1756; Beaver, 1750; Rich, 1233; and Cache, 1010. We hope Beaver county will be able to plant many times thi3 number . acc-ori- next year. According to Professor T. G. Taylor who is in charge of the forest nursery, plans are being made to expand the asea of the nursery in order to increase the output by at least 50 per cent for the next year. The plantings about the state will be examined each year to check the growth of the small trees in order to better determine their requirements under Utah conditions. Several demonstration plantings of trees for woodlot purposes were set out this year by the college in order to determine the growth on a larger One thousand hard woods scale. came to Milford during the past week ad will be used as demonstrations on the 7 farms where they were planted. Grow Pepper Grass in Garden Advises Extension Expert A good substitute for watercress may be grown in the family garden, says Professor J. C. Hogenson, extension agronomist of the Utah State Agricultural college extension service. Pepper grass or cress is a plant that is exceptionally easy to grow and "if you close your eyes and eat some you will insist that you are eating watercress," reports the agron omist. Then another advantage of having cress in the garden is that it is near by and long trips need not be made to acquire it. Seed can be sown as soon as the ground has dried sufficiently early in the spring. In about five days it is up, and in about five more days it is ready to eat. After cutting, the plant grows again so that a number of crops secured from one planting. Five cents worth of seed will pro duce plenty of cress for thefamily. BYW.S.TOLTON a steamer of ten thousand tons, the "Ancon," belonging to the United States government. Its course was from Atlantic ocean to the Pacific, making the trip in nine hours. Had there been no canal, it would have taken thirty-fiv- e days. We are now down to the lowlands and end of our journey in Panama, with the Pacific ocean before us. We drive into the railroad station, then take a bus, which is a surrey buggy drawn by a mule and driven by a Jamaican negro. We are driven to the "Otel Italiano."

We spent fome time in the parks overlooking the bay, looking at the ships which have come from different parts of the world. We see the battleship one, in particular, Iowa, which was the flagship of Ad miral Samson, during the Spanish American war, and which played an important part in the destruction of Cervera's ships in Santiago Bay. We, a few days later, by invitation from the captain, had the privilege of visiting this ship, spending three hours on its decks, studying all its different ramifications. While in Panama awaiting the ar rival of Cluff and Klenke, who were coming along the isthmus overland we found many places of interest to visit, among them were the parks plazas, the beach, Panama "bay and sisting of dredges, dump cars, steam occasionally went out on the canal shovels and many other pieces of to watch 'the progress of the canal machinery, to dig the canal with, under construction of the French but have never been used.

The trees are close together, and are bound about with vines so that we could not make our way through them without chopping our way with an ax. There are also many wild animals. We see a monkey grinning at us out of the branches of a tree as we pass. There are snakes, large and small, even the great boa constrictor; large red ants, as large as the end of your thumb. The telegraph poles are made of Iron, with e a bell, also of iron, attached to the cross bar, to hold the wires. This Is because these large ants eat wood.
