DANGER IS SEEN IN VETCH CROPS Crop I* Likely To Become Weed In Wheat Rotation* To the many farmer! who are Inquiring <>f ilw Agronomy department of Purdue University about ] growing vetch and Its place on Indiana farms. It should bo pointed out that the spring vetches are not adapted to Indiana cmiditloua and that the winter or sand vetch, al-1 though a legume, has its dinadv an lagee. today explained M. O. Pen co. extension agronomist. IMttei vetch la likely to become a weed If allowed to go to seed I In rotations Including wheat The I crop la difficult to harvest tor hay , or seed, because the plant Is a ■ weak stemmed vine which falls to : the ground unless there Is something to support IL The chief place of winter vetch to as a winter cover crop, seeded, alone or preterably with rye from July 15th to September 15th. to be plowed under in the spring. Ade sirable combination and rate per sen- are 15 to 2" pounds of vetch to one bushel of rye. I'sed in this way It may be seed-1 ed In corn, after soybeans cut early for hay or following small grain Vetch makes a slower growth tn spring than rye and to get a desirable growth of vetch the rye-vetch mixture must be left until early May before plowing under, Unless good growths are produted Utile nitrogen will be added to the soil Vetch Is best adapted to sandy or sandy loam soils but will do well on other soils if they are well drained It is highly important that vetch be Inoculated aa many failures are traces bit- to lack of proper hoc- • terta In the soil. Unless nodules are developed on the roots little noil benefit will result from its use. Com menial cultures are satisfactory for Inoculation. * Many eastern farmers have tried growing vetch for seed, but few have continued the practice. The dtffhiilty of harvesting this crop tor seed and the problem of separating the seed from rye nr wheat i tn which It should be grown re-» quires special equipment not ass orded by the ordinary fanning mill Most of the seed now available is imported SANITATION IS AID TO CHICKS Ceccidiosh Can B< Controlled Bx Care In Handling Coccidloeto In chicks tan he con-1 trolled through rigid sanitary prac-1 tires.

federal agenta. who are beginning a aurvey tn Adams county to I find it common barbary is present I nave to date tuuad no trace of the i plant although tt was dtocovereJ in i some quantity in Allen. Jay, and | We.is counties. Th. agents, who are now xrork-1 tng in Preble. Root and Union 1 townships, said that this Is not nnusual tn thst it is very spotty and large numbers are often found ; tn isolated spots where tt has made j a start A comparatively few of i th.- plants can cause a very serious | damage to crops. The common barbary breed* ’ black stem rust which attacks

cipally The parasite is discharged* in the drippings and becomes infective in 31 to 18 hours under favorable conditions, which makes It necessary to clean house daily during outbreaks. . FoUowiug are suggcied control nrearares. 1. Clean tbe brooder house by scrubbing with hot lye water. <1 pound lyc to So gallon* scalding water! 2. Keep feed and water clean, aud mour containers frequently. 3. Use a . lean yard each year for the chicks. I. Keep chicks se|M*rat»d from tbe old fl. Mk. I 5. Clean the bouse frequently. 4.

wheat, barley, oata. rye aud other small grains, preventing tbe full maturity of the heads and resulting in great commercial damage . It can often travel great distances 1 providing it meets with favorable , winds as occurred here recently when the fungus blew in from the Southwest. The men here are working in co- ' operation with the county agent's office. The diagram above has (teen printed in order that proper- > ty owners may recognize the common barbary, which should be reiw.rted If found.

. Are you keeping "ap" on the latest developments in scH-atifK- agriculture? Yearling colts on pasture need a liberal grain ration, say Purdue University specialists. Here is a , good one used by successful Gold Medal winners for the past 13 years whole oats of 3-4 whole oats i and I t wheat brau. A good egg is aot an accident -1 it is the result of good management. Provide good feed, gather 1 eggs at least twltte a day. keep in a cool place, market (request ly. Cultivation often spreads peren-, nial weeds when root parts are car- j tied from infeMad areas to other pans of the (laid. Good Lsnd Use says: "Crop the > fertile areas, pasture the rolling land and keep timber on steep or i erosive anils. Overflow lands are I too uncertain for corn crops." When casters on furniture be- i came loose snd drop out. remove them, pour melted repair glue tn , the holes and insert the casters before the glue hardens After It ' has set. the casters will not fall | out. It your soil is cold and wet. yon nad better treat your seed corn I with one of the organic mercury ; compounds Further Information on any of , 1 th»*ae topics may he obtained by writing to the Purdue t'nivrraity Department of Aricuttural Extension Lafayette.
