SEED CLEANING NEED IS CITED Weed Specialist Calls Weedy Seeds Use Financial Ix'ak By Oliver C. Lee (Purdue Weed Specialist) One of the most serious finan-1 cial leaks on farms today is caused by the use of weedy seeds of grasses, clover, alfalfa, soy beans and small grains, a leak that can, In most cases, be plugged by using a good fanning mill. Many a spare hour during the blustery days ot ■ winter can be turned into cash by j cleaning seed. The minimum requirements of I all seeds used are that they should at least be run over a good fanning mill. So satisfactory is its work and so beneficial are the results that it is difficult to understand why such large quantities ! of seed are sown without an at-1 tempt being made to remove for-, eign materials. Uncleaned seed brings about a plague of weeds (competing with the crop, increas-1 i ing production costs, and, since many weeds produce thousands of 1 seeds per plant, the noxious weeds ! are again harvested with the crop ' in even greater abundance to lower the quality of seed and be returned to the land ten fold. This vicious cycle goes on until weeds i become a limiting factor in crop production. When the fanning mill fails to clean out the weed seeds satisfactorily look to the screens for the | cause of the trouble. The most i common error in fanning mill operation is attempting to clean seed without the proper combination of screens. Often combinations are recommended by the manufactur- ( er but to get the best results do a little experimenting to discover the. best combination for your particular job. ' l After checking the screens, adjust the air blast so as to blow out all undesirable material that is lighter tn weight than the crop seed. Turning the mill at the proper speed to give a steady motion is essential. Avoid turning the mill too fast, causing the seeds to travel by leaps and bounds over the screens. The seed should be fed j slowly into the mill. It is imposs- ■ ible to do a good job of separating < if the seeds are piled up several deep on the surface of the screens. The most practical fanning mill during strong pigs. In pugilism only is it an honor to be on top of the scrap heap. Farmers are not prize fighters. So called “bargain seeds” often contain large quantities of destructive weed seeds ami are usually costly at any price. During cold weather the first two grain rations fed to "old bossie” after she freshens should be a warm bran mash, with good quality hay. Artificial light has little effect on the hen s yearly egg production. Further information on any of the foregoing topics may be obtained by writing to the Department of Agricultural Extension, Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind.

for the farm use is the one that separates seed by means of screen and blast. This type of mill has the ability to separate seeds of different size and weight. The up- i per shoe of the mill should be' equipped with a screen that will permit the crop seed to pass through but will carry over the larger seeds. The screen in the lower part of the mill will allow small seeds to drop through but will retain the crop seed. Weed seeds similar to the crop seed in size and weight cannot be removed by screening and cannot be blowts out. Such mixtures as cockle and wheat, dodder and buckhorn and clover or alfalfa are examples of seeds difficult to separate. In the case of such mixtures, special seed cleaning equipment is required. Q POULTRY SHOW HEAD IS NAMED Pennsylvania Man Is Named Manager Os Show At Poultry Congress — Cleveland, Ohio — Selection of John Kriner of Stettlersville, Pennsylvania. as manager of the live bird competitive poultry show at the World’s Poultry Congress in Cleveland this summer was an-, nounced today by Harry Atkins of Davenport, lowa, show chairman. Atkins my de his announcement in connection with a visit to the huge poultry exhibit at the Pennsylvania Farm Show. While there Atkins consulted with exhibitors and judges with a view to building up the historical display at the Cleveland show, to be held July 28 to August 7. Atkins, who also is president of the American Poultry Association, said that among the outstanding exhibits will be those of jungle fowl, both live and stuffed speciI mens, these being the parent stock from which the modern fowl , is derived. Specimens will be shown of the Azeel game fowl, the oldest known breed of domestic fowl, having an unbroken family pedigree extending back more than 6.000 years to the time of the Pharaohs and King Solomon. Only forty of these fowl now exhist in the United States, and the entire stock has been placed at the disposal of the Cleveland show committee. The live bird show, according to Atkins, will consist of about 10,000 birds of all known varieties ; of standard and rare fowl, including bantams, pigeons and pit games. Entries will be received up until June 15. The premium list will be ready for distribution April 115.

TAKE PICTURES FROM AIRPLANE Aerial Pictures Aid In Making Indiana Survey Os Soil Lafayette. Ind.. Feb. 3 — With I 60 counties in Indiana photograph- I ed from the air for several agri- , cultural agencies, aerial pictures are greatly facilitating progress of I the soil survey work. Under the direction of Professor T. M. Bushnell of the Purdue University agronomy department and with the aid of eight state assistants and several federal surveyors. the Hoosier soil survey program, which started in 1901 by the U. S. Department of Agricul- ' ture with Purdue becoming active in 1919, is being carried out for the purpose of identifying, describing, classifying, correlating, and mapping soils. However, the earlier methods of mapping by the plane table traverse have now been succeeded by aerial photography I coupled with mapping of soil typI es and land use by fieldworkers. Aerial photography has proved to be an important factor in increasing the accuracy and speed of mapping. The photographs, which are taken from an airplane ‘at a height of about three miles, also give accurate detail about layouts of farms, buildings, fences. crops, woodlands, erosion, and streams. In the mapping of towns, aerial photography is also utilized to a great extent. The fieldworkers, during the summer and fall months, hike systematically over each square mile of a county noting the various soil types, mapping the boundaries, determining soil reactions, and recording the kind of crop growing in the field at the time of survey. At the present time, a study is being made to determine the relation between various typi es of soils and the kind of crops grown on these types by farmers. This brings out what experience has show'll and the adaption of soils for various uses, and also reveals some of the effects of proper or improper us'e of the land. The information obtained from the surveys and maps is condensed into soil survey bulletins for the particular counties, determin- . ing the fertility, crop possibilities, and nomenclature of the soils. Not only the agriculturalist is taking The first delegate already has 1 started to the scene of the poultry Congress, He is C. R. Turbgt, senior veterinarian for the Figi Islands, who is on his way to the United States via Europe.

I advantage of these soil surveys, I but industries are also utilizing I the information they offer. Land , hanks and loan agencies, road contractors, vocational teachers amF i extension specialists, and various | governmental conservation proI jects are in line for soil survey in1 1 formation.
