February and March are the important months for starting strawberry plantations in the South Atlantic and Gulf states, excepting Florida, Louisiana, and Roosevelt, Utah s., southern and southwestern Texas. In these regions the most of the plantations are set in the fall. At the Woodward. Field Station in Oklahoma, the average value of as gudan grass drilled and used pasture for dairy cows Iwas $12.50 per acre when the nutritive value was compared with corn silage at $5 a ton and alfalfa hay at $14 a ton.

To secure desirable results it Is usually necessary to cross two inbred or selfed lines. Sometimes a double cross is used. It is recognized that not all crosses will be superior and the problem of the corn breeder is to find the few that are best. Some cross has been more productive than the parent variety In every reported experiment in which a number of crosses betwen selfed lines have been compared. The production of edfed lines of corn is not practical for the average farmer. It is a task for experts. self-fertilizati- on From Way Down East to the Far the trend of lumber production in the United States has fairly consistently followed the path of the setting sun. In 181 the leading state in production of the lumber was Maine. In 1829-4- 9, leader was New York; in 1859 PenMichigan; nsylvania; in 1869-8- 9, 1899-1901905-1Wisconsin; Washington; 1914, Louisiana; 1915 and 1925, Washington.

Ror-ewill be, says the United States Service, the state which shows the most foresight today, while it is harvesting the present crop of timber, by making provision for a future forest crop. West, 4, 3. st Treating seed wheat with copper-carbonat- e dust is an effective and method of preventing practical smut in wheat. Two ounces P bushel of wheat has proved sufficient in most cases. Use only copper carbonate that is manufactured especially for seed treatment. The best way to apply tbe dust is 1 mix it fwith the grain In some kind of a rotating machine, or barrel mixer, until each kernel is cflm &nlx-ta- g plotely covered with dust. A machine may be made on the farm by using an old barrel churn, a water tight barrel, or a steel oil drum. A concrete mixer is some times available and. can be used satisfactorily. Smut Is what is sponsible for much loss to farmers, .discounts often amounting to from a few cents to 25 a bushel. |
