ADAPTED SEEDS REQUIRED UNDER SOIL PROGRAMS New Conservation Program Details Are Announced Here Lafayette, Ind., Oct. 14—Provisions regarding the use of adapted red clover and alfalfa seed in the 10 Cornbelt States of the North Central Region, under the 1938 Agricultural Conservation Program, will be similar to the regulations governing the use of such seeds under the 1937 Program, Claude R. Wickard, formerly Carroll county farmer and now Director of the North Central Division of the AAA, announced today to Purdue University agricultural officials and specia'ists. A feature of the proposed 1938 program, Wickard pointed out, provides for the establishment of a sollibui'ding goal for each farm, and a?il-building practices which may be used in achieving this goal. One of the proposed practices is the seeding of perennial and biennial legumes, he said. In explaining the program provision, Wickard said, “New seedings of red clover or alfalfa, or mixtures containing these seeds, would be conjfod in achieving any 1938 soilbuddsng goal established for a farm in with this proposed program only if made with adapted seed®. . Important Here “The provision concerning new seedings is especially important," Wickard said, “In the 10 Cornbelt States of the North Central Region where red clover and alfalfa constitute two of the principal soilconcerving crops.’’ The value * using only adapted red clover and alfalfa seed was amply demonstrated in 1937, Wickard pointed out. "Because of widespread interest in the use of adapted seeds as a result of the requirements in the 1937 program,” he said, “numerous test plots of domestic and imported red clover and alfalfa seed were planted." "A great majority of these test plots demonstrated the superiority

Unadapted seeds often show a reason--1 ably satisfactory growth the first ) year, but either fail to survive the winter or are later killed by disease. In 1937 even the first year's , growth was very unsatisfactory in many cases.” “Adapted” seeds produce hardy, insect and disease-resistant stands of red clover and alfalfa which are more capable <» surviving rigorous winters that those of unadapted seeds. Red clover and alfalfa seed from virtual'y the same sources as were approved for 1937 will be considered as adapted in 1938. NEW BOOKLET IS ANNOUNCED Pamphlet On European Bindweed Is Published By Purdue Interesting facts concerning one of Indiana's fastest growing enemy weeds, European Bindweed, which has rootstalks that have been known to grow as long as 16 feet in a year, may be- found in a recently published leaflet written by Oliver C. Lee, Purdue University extension weed specialist. The leaflet, entitled “European Bindweed and Its Control in Indiana", in adit ion to containing control measures, revea’s many interI esting features and characteristics of Indiana's No. 1 weed. Lee points out that Bindweed belongs to the morning glory family U plants and should not be confused with the morning glory annmanly found in Indiana corn field. While the morning glory can be controlled by a good rotation and pasturing, spraying with sodium chlorate has proved to be the only practical method es eradicating Bindweed. Copies of tlie leaflet may be obtained free of cost from any county agricultural agent or by writing to the Department of Agrictultural Extension, Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana, asking for Extension Leaflet No. 206.

PRICE DECLINE IS ANTICIPATED FOR BEEF, PORK I Experts Predict Lower Meat Prices For Present i More grain-fed cattle will be I coming to market next year than during this past year, the bureau of agricultural economics said today in current situation reports on beef cattle and hogs. With larger supplies of grain on hand this fall, the number of cattle fed this winter and spring will be considerably larger than a year ago. Therefore, prices of the better grades are exI pected to decline more than the usual amount during the first half of next year. Regarding the hog situation, the , bureau said that supplies of hogs tor slaughter during the 6-month period from October through March probably will be smaller than a year ago. On the other hand. It is expected that the demand for hog products for storage and consumer demand for meats in this period also will fall off somewhat. Accordingly, the bureau said that hog prices this fall and winter probably will average little, if any. higher than those of the same period a year ago. Hog Prices Down The seasonal decline in hog prices now under way, however, probably will continue through the fall months, it was pointed out. Hogs will be fed to heavier weights this year than last because of the more plentiful supply of grain, and ’ the greater part of last spring's crop of pigs probably will come to market somewhat later than usual The number of hogs slaughtered [ under federal inspection during the entire marketing year, October 1937 through September 1938, is expected to be somewhat smaller than In 1936-37 when the total was 34.1 million head. The total live weight of hogs slaughtered, however, probably will be about the same as last year because of the increase in average weights. Though more pigs will be raised next year than in 1937, the increase will not be reflected in Increased hog slaughter until late 1938 and early 1939. ! Speaking of the cattle market, the bureau noted that in late September prices reached the highest level on record for that month; top price at Chicago reached $19.90 a Uncle Jim Sags K s' wBmS •It beats all how some people like ha make a mountain out of a mole's hill.

hundred pounds. Supplies of well finished, grain-fed cattle were short, accounting for the high prices. Prices of the lower grades of slaughter cattle declined somewhat in September, with the usual increase in marketings of such cattle. Prices of nearly all kinds of cattle declined during the first half ot Oci lOe-r. The wide spread ■ between prices of the better grades and lower grades is expected to narrow considerably in the next few months. PROTEINS ARE USED IN FEEDS Rate Os Growth Os Chicks Is Dependent Upon Proteins The rate of growth of chicks is determined largely by the amounts and kinds of proteins that are used in the ration during the first few weeks. For this reason, what particular ration should be fed will depend upon the purpose for which the chicks are to be raised. In the production of broilers there is an advantage in having the chicks grow rapidly so that they will reach market size as soon as possible. Where the primary object, however, is the production of pullets, it is not necessary to grow them so rapidly. Where the hatching season extends over several weeks, some poultrymen prefer to use two starting rations, a lower protein ration for the chicks which are hatched early and a higher protein ration for the late hatch- . ed chicks. Proteins Differ All proteins do not have the same feeding value. Consequently, | the total amount of protein in a' ration does not give as good a J measure of its feeding value as, does information concerning the ■ amounts and kinds of protein sup-1 plements which it contains. In most of the chick rations developed at the Purdue agricultural experiment station no extra miner- i als are added. Sufficient minerals are supplied by the ingredients used in formulas. Meat and bone scraps containing 50 per cent protein also contains from 25 to 30per cent of minerals. Rations con-, taining from 10 to 15 per cent of, meat and boen scraps supply suM-' cient minerals for chicks. The addition of other minerals may be harmful. An oversupply of minerals is one cause of slipped tendons. The proper combination of only a few of the common available feed stuffs will supply all of the nutrients and vitamins needed by the chicks. Only rations should be used, however, which have proved satisfactory when actually fed to chicks. Information is now available on a number ot combinations ot feeds which make satisfactory rations tor ehicks. This makes it possible for the poultry raiser to modify his ration so as to use those feeds which are available and which are cheapest. HUSKING MEET I IS ANNOUNCED ' Washington To Be Site Os State Corn Husking Contest Indiana 12th annual state corn ■ husking contest under Prairie Farmer rules aud supervision will

be held on the Graham Farms. October 29. This farm Is located just six miles north of Washing- • ton. Indiana. Albert Etter, Indiana state champion, will defend his title. He hopes in this contest to beat his 1936 record of 33.58 bushels, and to beat the present state record of 34.56 bushels made by Lawrence Pitzer, Fountain county, in 1935. There should be a good chance for Etter to realize his ambitions for he is husking in a good field of i hybrid corn, and the rows are more than one mile long, so there will be no time lost In turning.’ Thirty-five county contests in Indiana will determine the 15 county i champions who will husk against Etter. There will be a field of 16 huskers in the state this year, which makes it approach the na- ‘ tional in number of entries. The winner and the runner-up in Indiana will husk against champions and runners-up from nine other states at the national contest to be held on the farm operated by Weber Bros., near Marshall, Saline county, Missouri, November 4. Present national champion is Carl Carlson, lowa, who husked 21.04 bushels in a nearly barren field in Ohio last year, to beat 17 other contenders The world's record is held by Elmer Carlson. lowa. brother of Carl, who husked 41.52 bushels in the national contest in Indiana in 1935. With a good crop.in the husking field this year, both in Indiana and in Missouri for the national, there should be some new high records made again this year—but anything over 40 bushels is hard to beat. Forty 1 exhibitors of farm machinery, household equipment, automobiles, hybrid corn, and other Prairie ! Farmer advertised products will i have a display of state fair proportions at headquarters. As spe- | cial entertainment, the Indiana University hand, known as the Marchling Hundred Military Band will be ' present and perform before, duri ing and after the contest. how SENSE If you have located the spot for your 1938 strawberry patch, sow it in rye to turn under next spring. A productive patch is often dependent upon a iplentitul supply of organic matter. I Before winter gets any closer, better start Bounding up all farm machinery and implements. Adequate protection against ruinous winter weather will mean much in the service delivered by the machinery next year. Damp soybeans spoil easily in storage. Until the beans are hard, threshing or combining should be delayed. A .fairly warm, dry room is the best place to store piunpains and winter squash, according to Purdue specialists. The furnace room mat.es an id al place to keep them. Remember this: A go-?d car of earn saved this fall should be good for at least five bushels ot corn next year. With a big aipple crop this year, i it ought n be easy to follow the rule “An apple a day. . . .” ———

MILK WEEK TO BE OBSERVED OVER COUNTRY National Milk Week H ill Be Held November 12 To 20 New York, Oct. 22. —. National Milk Week. November 14-20, will center attention on the value of milk to the economic and physical welfare of the country. As the largest single source of farm income in the United States, milk contributed $1,417,000,000 of cash to the. 58,1100,000.000 total income received by al! divisions of agriculture in 1936. Twenty-five million cows are milked on about three quarters of the nation’s six million farms. Milk is the chief source of farm cash to some 1,500,000 farm families. About 200,000 workers are employed in the processing and distribution of dairy products. Milk is the principal source of income to one out ot every fifteen families in the United States. Milk was the mainstay of farm income throughout the depression, according to the Milk Industry Foundation. In 1932, when the farmers' cash income from all other agricultural commodities, except milk, declined to 40 per cent of the 1925-1929 average milk returned producers well over 60 per cent of its average during the same years. The medical profession, not only in this country but in every country of the world, has repeatedly emphasized that a larger per capita consumption of inllk would improve the general level of public | health. It is estimated that 2,000,000 people in this country are alive today because of the improvement in puiii/-*resulting from added sanitary precautions taken by producers and milk companies in the last quarter century. A national extra glass ot milk daily would mean an increase of more than $5,000,000 in dairy farm- ! ers’ pockets. An -increase of 10 per cent in per capita consumption of fluid milk alone would mean an estimated increase of $125,000,000 annually to dairy farmers’ income. PARASITES ARE CONIROLLEDNOW I — Experts Recommend Treating For Lice, Mites Immediately Now is the proper time of year to treat farm animals for lice and mites to avoid infestations of these pests during the coming winter, according to G. E. Lehker, extension entomologist of Purdue University. Immediate treatment of animals, even though slightly infected, is very important, because only a few lice or mites are necessary to produce a serious infestation by midwinter, says Lehker. Furthermore, if the livestock is treated this fall, liquid preparations can be used which are effective and comparatively inexpensive. These liquids, of course, can not I be used during cold weather and | therefore those who delay treatment may be faced with the necessity of holding the pests in check I by means of one of the costly and less effective powdered materials available for winter use. For the control of lice and mites on both horses and cattle, Lehker advised the use ot a coal-tar-crea-I sote stock dip used according to directions. He said that an effective home-made solution can also be prepared by adding a pound of sulphur to six gallons of paraffin oil. In any event, ft is necessary to clean up and disinfect the stalls ‘ at the time the animals are treated, a coal tar creosote mixture being suitable for the purpose. Development of lice and mites during the winter months can also be retarded by giving the animals plenty of feed, sunlight, ventilation. exercise and good care. These measures, plus delousing in the “tall, should keep the livestock comparatively free of external parasites at all times, Lehker states. NOTICE Our Office will be Closed October 25 and 26. DR. H.
