ALFALFA SHOULD BE MOVED OFTEN Alfalfa Must Be Plowed Up After Third Year On Field Three years, on the average, is as long as alfalfa should be left on good farm land before It 13 plowed under, rec.atimends 3. B. Cleland, farm management specialist, Uni-1 versify Farm. St. Paul. In 3 years alfalfa will do a good job of fertii Using the soil and killing weeds on the field in which it Is growing be- ! fore being moved to another field. As a weed killer, alfalfa is especially effective on Canada aud sow thistle. Usually, if there ie a good stand, the smotherings and frequent 'cuttings will eradicate thistles in 3 yearn, but not always. Three years is also sufficient to accumulate a good supply of fertilizer materials for succeeding crops. The objection to leaving alfalfa longer than 3 years in that it takes , too long to fellow a systematic program of moving alfalfa over the en-, tire farm to maintain a high level of crop yields, the 3-year period for alfalfa is none too short, says Mr. . | Cleland. If a farmer han 100 crop • acres with 15 acres of alfalfa, the ! alfa’fa will have to be moved 7 I 1 times to cover the whole farm. If; I left 2 years in each place, it will i ' take 21 years to get around— too I I long a time for a field to wait for ‘ j fresh seeding. It is obvious that if a larger portion of land -is in alfalfa I that the land will be Covered oftenler. There are some circumstances un-. I der which alfalfa should be left 1 ( longer than 3 yeans. On steep hill-1 sides or land that erodes badly it is ! desirable to leave the crop as long ' as possible once it is established.! On stony fields where reseeding is , ' difficult, it is also usually left as I long as possible. Where land must' | be I: med, the same is true. But, says i ‘Mr. Cleland, even if s.'une portions j : of the farm are kept in alfalfa rathier permanently, it is often possible | for some acreage to be carried on the regular farm land to aid the ■ alfalfa in its double job of weed killI ing and renewing the soil, SWINE MAY BE FED OAT CROP Hog Corn Prices Make Oats Economical In Hog Rations Urbana, 111.. Aug. 2" — Farmers may profitably use a part of the 1937 crop of oats to take advantage of high hog prices, according to authorities of the animal husbandry department, College of Agrlcutlture. University of Illinois. Oats may be fed to growing-fat-tening swine to the extent of nearly half the ration without appreciably decreasing the rate of gain of pigs, it is reported in Circular No 414, “Oats as a Feed for Swine,” published by the agricutural college. Based on 17 different feeding trials involving more than 1,290 pigs, the circular reports that oats when fed with corn and supplement did not slow down the rate of gain unless they made up almost half of the ration. However, oats did reduce the efficiency of the ration even when they made up as little as one-third of the grain, more feed* being required for a given gain when the ration contained oats than when it did not include them. As Judged by the amount of other feed saved when oats were introduced into the ration, the replacement value of ground oats was higher than of whole oats. The replacement value of whole oats averaged 59 pounds of corn and 7 pounds of supplement for each 100 pounds of oats, whereas ■he ground oats replaced on an "wanted"™ Rags, Magazines, Newspapers, Scrap Iron, Old Auto Radiators, Batteries, Copper, Brass, Aluminum, and all grades of scrap metals. We buy hides, wool, sheep pelts, the year round. The Maier Hide & Fur Co. 710 W. Monroe st. Phone 442

average 85 pounds of corn and 8 pounds of supplement. Grinding oats also increased their value as a feed for growing and fattening pigs. When oats made up one-third of the ration, there j was an average saving of 26 pounds of corn and 1 pound of supplement directly traceable to I the grinding of 100 pounds of oats. The palatability of oats for pigs is increased by any method of preparation that makes the hulls less noticeable. However, hulling oats proved to be a less profitable method of preparing them than grinding. Only when oats are as cheap as corn a pound will a ration that contains oats In any form produce as cheap gains with fattening hogs as will a ration of corn and protein supplement. Oats can be used extensively in place of corn in the rations of pregnant sows without noticeably reducing the efficiency of the ration. They may also be used n sow rations during the suckling period, but to a less extent than 1 during pregnancy. Copies of the circular, “Oats as | a Feed for Swine,” may be obtained free .by writing the College of Agriculture at Urbana. MASH NEEDED BY YOUNG PDLLETS Mash Should Not Be Used To Exclusion Os Whole Grain —— Mash is just as important for' I the growing pullet as for the layer.: ■ but it should not be fed to the ex-. I elusion of whole grain. How much ' grain to feed, however, is often a • problem, says T. B. Clark, assist- , ant poultry husbandman at the Agricultural Experiment Station, 1 West Virginia University. During the past three years, he i points out, very good results have ; beep obtained at the poultry farm of the Experiment Station by feeding whole grain in hoppers to the growing pullets. An 18 percent protein mash is placed in one hopper and whole grain in another; both are kept before the pullets at all times. A grain mixture of corn, wheat, and oats is used. “If poultrymen prefer to feed grain in the late afternoon, as good results will be obtained by keeping hoppers of heavy whole oats in front of the pullets.” Hopper-feeding grain from eight to 24 weeks of age has the advantage of allowing the growing pull- ‘ ets to balance their own ration, reducing the cost of feed, and sav-1 ing labor, according to Clark. Allowing the pullets to make their own choice in eating mash or grain will promote the development of normal body weight, with a consequent decrease in the number of peewee and pullet-size eggs. "This method of feeding grain should be continued until after production has been well started." iVork at three other experiment stations has shown that the amount of protein in a ration has very little influence on the age when the first egg is laid. Too much mash in the ration, it is found, forces the pullets to consume more protein, than they require, and it is wasted. On the other hand, says Clark, too little mash will stunt growth. “Hopper-feeding of grain and mash helps to prevent these possibilities.” S.O.S.- s.o.s. Any corn found t? be more than 17 feet high is being sought by Gov. M. Clifford Townsend to be used in a display at the state fair and at the International show in Chicago. In a letter received by Robert Heller, agricultural editor of the Decatur Daily Democrat. Gov. Townsend said in part: “if a m find any corn over 17 feet high , will you kindly notify my office and we will come after the corn and exhibit it first at the State fair, before sending it to the Internaional show. “We are prepared to preserve the tall corn with a solution which has been developed for that purpose. “I v»'>uld suggest that you tell your people to leave the corn in the field and brace it until we can come after 4t within the next week or 10 days. “Very Trtjly yours, “M. Clifford Townsend” Anyone having such corn is requested to report the tact to the Decatur Daily Democrat from where Gov. Townsend will be notified immediately. Two years ago corn measuring more than 22 feet high was grown on. the Central Stock farm north oi Decatur. . ,

CULTURED MILK IS SUGGESTED Cultured Milk Drinks Easily Digested In Hot Weather Urbana. ll’., Aug. 27—Use of mare cultured buttermilk 4n the diet of the average individual on hot summer days would throw less strain ■ on the digestive system and at the same time would aid dairymen in solving Jthe'.r surplus skim mjlk problem, according to Paul H. Tracy, associate chief in dairy manufactures, College of Agriculture, University at Illinois. “Skim mt'k is a food of high caloric value, being abcut halt as valuable as a source of energy as an ' equal quanity of whole milk from ‘ which it is separated." he explain- I fed. "When changed into sour milk , |or cultured buttermilk, the energy value of the skim milk is only slightly reduced. It provides food value without the concentrated fats that add to body heat on sultry summer afternoons and nights.” , Furthermore cultured milk has ‘nutritive values that skim milk , does not possess. The acid developed in cultured milk curdles the case-1 in which becomes finely broken up before entering the stomach. This I avoids the large lumps that result from the drinking of sweet milk. The fact that sour milk already ‘has its casein precipitated before i reaching the stomach relieves the I stomach of that responsibility, I Tracy pointed out. This reduces the amount of digestive juices that j must be secreted by the stomach, j which p esib'y accounts for the success of cultured milk or lactic ; acid milk in the diet of certain infant. In addition cultured milk drinks are said to have some therapeutic or curative value. Recently much interest has been shewn in cultured milk, especially acidophilus, because of its supposed ability to combat autointoxication a poisoned condition caused by the accumulation iu the body of toxic substances originating in the intestinal tract For individuals who believe that the products and practices of childho..i back on the farm are better than those of today, dairies have placed on ihe market within recent years a type of fermented milk 1 termed churned buttermilk. o HOfi MARKET TO REMAIN BETTER Hog Slaughter Not Expected To Reach Depression Average Soon Heavy hogs and good prices at least through next winter are reported in prospect by L. A. Richardson, U-T Extension Livestock Specialist, on a basis of a summer hog-outlook report issued by the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics. It is expected that fewer hogs will be slaughtered during the first half of the 1937-38 hog-marketing year which begins in October, but that only a small decrease is expected in the total live weight, since average weights of bogs marketed are expected to be much heavier than a year earlier, the bureau says. “With prospects fairly favorable for a continuation of the present SALE CALENDAR Aug. 28 —Howard Weller, 3 acre tract. 4H miles West, 1 mile South of Monroe at 10 a. m. — Household goods. 110 S.

relatively strong demand for meats, hog prices next fall and winter probably will average as high as, or perhaps higher, than in the fall and winter of 1936-37.” The July 1 crop report indicated | that this year’s corn crop will nbout equal the 1928-32 average ; This means that if crop prospects continue favorable, supplies of : corn for hog feeding will be the largest iu several years, a situa- ! tion that will be reflected iu a fairly high hog-corn price ratio by I late fall or early winter. It is believed this high price ' ratio will encourage producers to delay marketing of spring pigs in ord<r to feed to heavier weight. : Consequently, the proportion of this year's spring pigs marketed before January 1 may be much smaller than usual, and the seasonal decline in hog prices this fall ■ may be less than average.

Richardson atatea.

Hog prices, therefore, he added are expected to be well maintained in the late summer and early | fall and they may make some ' i further advance. From a longertime standpoint, It was stated that i if the 1937 corn crop proves to' | be as large as now indicated there 1 will be a considerable increase in J the number of pigs raised in 1938. "This upward trend in bog production will be stimulated.” ac- ’ I cording to the U. S. Bureau of ; Agricultural Economics, “if there ’ | is an average or better than aver- ■ I age porn crop in 1938.

livestock? The successful farmer has formed the habit ot doing the right thing at the right time it should be done. Only 31 counties in Indiana average 100 bushels or better of poIla toes per acre. Indiana farmers could Increase their agricultural 1 ipcoaia approximately 34,000.000.00 by producing enough potatoes to take care ot the needs of this state. Fall transplanting ot strawberries is usually not desirable, say Purdue horticultural specialists, unless heavily mulched as heaving from alternate freezing and thawing will bring these short ' rooted plants out of the soil. It appears that good pullets will be scarce this talk A pullet needs the best ot care and feed during the growing season to develop properly.
