FERTILIZER IS HELP TO WHEAT Purdue Finds Plant Food Addition Increases Crop Yield Lafayette, Ind., Sept. 23 — In answer to the question of applying commercial fertilizer to wheat, Purdue University agronomists cite their many field experiments, showing that fertilizer is one of the most important factors influencing wheat yields and that wheat is one of the most responsive of the grain crops to fertilization. On four experimental fields, representing many types of Indi-

ana soils, the increase in wheat yields from the use of a complete fertilizer nave averaged from 8.9 ’ bushels per acre, covering periods ranging from 12 to 20 years. In addition to profitable yield | increases caused by using fertiliz- [ er, the agronomists give other benefits: i 1. There is the residual benefit lof fertilizer on the seedings of ’ grasses and legumes and subse- ( quent increases on corn yields which sometimes pay for the total cost of the wheat fertilizer. 2. The earlier maturity of fertil- • ized wheat often permits the crop . to escape segious damage from plant diseases. 3 Late seeded wheat, to avoid hessian fly infestations, is particularly in need of available plant food to hasten the growth and carry . the plants through the winter. 4 Fertilizer makes for uniform-

ity of ripening which permits of easier harvesting and safer storage. 5. The yields of wheat in the rotation would be further increased if the crop residues such as corn stalks, wheat, straw, etc., were returned to the land. 6. The use of fertilizer on wheat, as indicated in Purdue experiments is an important factor in lowering the cost per bushel and at the same time improving following crops of legumes which are so essential to long time soil improvement as well as profitable livestock production. FEED FACTORS ARE EXAMINED Cow’s Weight, Milk V olume Determine Winter Requirements The weight of the dairy cow and the volume of milk she is giving determine largely the amount of feed necessary during the winter months when pasture is no longer available, recent research shows. C. A. Hutton. University of Tennessee extension dairyman, cites experiments conducted by the I S. Department of Agriculture at the National Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville, Maryland, which show that most economical production is maintained when each cow receives about 3 pounds of silage for each 100 pounds of weight. A 1.000 pound cow should have 30 pounds of silage. Twice each day the cow should also have all the good hay she will eat. The amount of grain depends on the breed, the volume of milk produced. and the quality of the roughage, he says. A Jersey cowproducing less than 10 pounds of milk and receiving all the good roughage she can eat should need no grain, but for every pound of milk over 10 pounds she should get cnc.-half pound or slightly more of grain. A Jersey giving 20 pounds of milk thus, would receive 5 to 6 pounds of grain. A Holstein that is giving only 16 pounds of milk or less, needs no grain, but for every pound over 16 she should get four-tenths of a pound of grain, the experiment showed. The feeder, says Mr. Hutton, must also be guided by the condition of the cows. If cows are getting thin, give them more grain. If they are getting fat, reduce the grain. They should be kept in a medium state of flesh, neither fat nor thin, —o — Trail- In A l.noil Ivwn — ■■MBBBMEBB'T! OLD HICKORY * truly a Premium coal. Little Joe stoker coal.

SMUT TREATING IS PROFITABLE Damage Can Be Averted 11 With Care Before Sowing Seed Farmers can raise better quality ! wheat and produce more bushels to the acre if they treat their seed to prevent losses from smut, according to Dr. C. D. Sherbakoff. I U-T Experiment Station, plant pathologist. Smut not only reduces yields, frequently as much as a fourth of the crop, but damages the grain for milling. One large Tennessee mill reported that practically every bushel of local wheat purchased in 1937 was damaged by smut and fhuch was so smutty that it I could not be accepted even at feed prices. As a result of a seed treating campaign conducted by county agents last fall, the 1938 crop was almost entirely free of smut in the area as well as other sections of the state, he says All smuts of wheat, bailey and oats, except loose smut of wheat and brown loose smut of barley may now be treated with one poison. ethyl mercury phosphate, known to the trade as “New Improved Ceresan,'' in dust form. This treatment is uow recommended in preference to copper carbonate for wheat or formaldehyde for barley and oats. Treatment with Ceresan is inexpensive — 2'4 cents per bushel or less —and its efficiency is assured. Therefore, no grower of wheat, barley or oats should hesitate to treat all of his seed annually, states Dr. Sherbakoff. Experiment Station circular No. 46. “Seed Treatment for Wheat, Barley, and Oat Smuts ' gives complete instructions for treatment. It ■ may be obtained from the Ten--1 nessee Agricultural Experiment ■ Station, Knoxville, Tenn. I i • HO BSE i \ » 1 \ t Jr HMaSmA. SENSE The pines have proved to be the i best trees to plant for windbreaks ' to protect farm buildings. : Farm account keepers say, “Farm I accounts have more value the longer they are kept!” Do you take your drainage seriously, or does it “take” you seri iously? The first time it “fakes" I you, shame on the weather; but if you let it “take" you again, shame . on you. One uest for every five pullets or hens will preveut much of the trouble or grief from cracked and dirty eggs. By ruling of the State Seed Commissioner with headquarters at •I Purdue University five weeds were

j added to the Indiana noxious weed lisi. effective September 15. 1938. They were: field bindweed, perennial sow thistle, Johnson grass, field pepper grass, and bitter wintercress.
