CULTIVATION IS | THISTLE REMEDY Starving Os Roots Resuits In Permanent Eradication In the past tew years expert 1 ments and demonstrations In the field tan proved clean cultivation to be • practical method of eradicating Canada thistle The method la practical tor the reason that there is no cash outlay tor materials and on large areas is less expeasivo than spraying. The greatest drawback J to hilling thistles by cultivation is I bat it requires considerable time and the work be done at the proper lime In order to obtain results. In order to eradicate Canada thistle by cultivation it is necessary to keep down the top growth lor a period sufficiently loug to starve out the roots, ft should be kept in mind that the leaves of the plants are their manufacturing center where food materials are made to replenish the roots. Vader ordinary conditions there is soffit lent | plant Juod stored in the roots to produce plants for one year without support from the green plant If the plant is not permitted to produce leaves at any time during the season, from early spring till late fall, the roots will be starved < oat. • When the cultivation method of eradicating Canada thistle is used the Infested area should he plowed in the spring shortly after the thistles begin to grow. A good job of plowing Is essential so as to rut off all plants and torn all plant growth under Following plowing the area should be cultivated during the remainder of the season or t rfntll the roots are killed. Cultivations should be made as often as necessary to keep the plants from showing up above the sortace of the ground It is often necessary to cultmate once a week or every ten days. If the plants are permitted to produce leaves between cultivatitwi*, much of the work of cultivation will be undone as the roots get a new lease on life. A cultivator with a broad cutting surface has proved to be the most satisfactory implement because of its ability to cut off all plants at a uniform depth. The Implement should penetrate to a depth of four or five inches. A satisfactory cultivator can be made by attaching a cutting bar to a sled-like structure Corn cultivators equipped with sweeps will do effective work A disc or spriitgtooth harrow Is not satisfactory for the reuaon that they do not cut off all plants. tbhde •« A <*dff Ttawtb — lWe««av

HO BSE sme i Great achievement is impossible without groat enthusiasm. We must love the farm. A ISO to 300 day pasture program ' and a home grown winter milk producing ration, with uniform fresh- • entng periods throughout the year, will help make your dairy dollars the easy way. Did you know that 735 calves were intered in the 1935 Gold Medal Cali Club’ The Gold Medal winners were al) kept in the barn on a full grain ration and allowed to nurse the cows twice daily. Trees are not the best poultry houses, but in many cases, they are better than hot, over crowded brooder houses for maturing pull- . eta. A satisfactory range shelter urn often be constructed from odd ‘ materials on the farm. Field bindweed is called the ’•First Mortgage Weed" because loan companies often retuse to loan money on infested farms. Bindweed has already taken the first mortgage on the land where it grows. Cattle require only a small patch of timber tor shade. Fence off the rest of the farm woods tor timber production. Spray your potatoes and celery with bordeaux mixture No other spray materials, say Purdue University specialists, has been found any better than this mixture tor these crops. June is bay malting line. The time of cutting hay crops affects the value as well as the amount of seed or pasture produced by the second growth. Further information on any of these topics may be obtained by writing to the Purdue University Depart ment of Agricultural Extension. Lafayette. Ind. GRASS SILAGE HAS PRESSURE Farmers Should Measure Strength Os Silo Wall Before Filling Farmers who are considering plans for making grass silage this season should make sure of the strength of their silos, warns 8. A. Anderson, extension agricultural engineer of Purdue University. Grass silage put up with either molasses or phosphate may contain considerably more moisture than most corn silage and may exert outward pressure from 50 per cent greater to double or more the pressure of corn silage. Anderson rites' experimental work by th* U. 8. Department of Agricultural Research Center and in cooperation with the New Jersey experiment station. Measurements of silage pres auro in silos of various diameters are to be continued thia season, but the tests already on record show that some silos that are safe for storing corn are not strong enough to withstand me pressure of grass allage. even whentta moisture percentage is

Bosley of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. Filled with corn silage. the outward pressure per square foot in an 15 by 43 toot silo was about 5o per cent greater tbau I in a 14 by 44 foot silo, but when the IS by 43 foot silo was filled ‘with grass silage with only a slightly higher moisture content the pressure per square loot was approximately double that ot normal 1 corn silage. Farmers may find it necessary to add supplementary steel hoops to make safe for grass silage. New silos, built with a view to grass storage, should be constructed with an allowance for the Increase in pressure to be expected. The Department of Agriculture ha* informed the National Associaitlon of Silo Manufacturers of tho preliminary results in this series of tests and will make additional reports of the actusl pressure* reg- . Istered by the various silage, mixtures. thus furnishing the technical basis for design of the reinforcement required for silos that are to be filled with grass silageJ —o Pasturing Is Most Economical Scheme 1 Urbana, ill..

In these ways farmers can sometimes use three times as much pasture as usual with a saving in dry feed and with increased net income from the stock. Stock is kept prinetpaily to convert crops into cash and still aavo soil fertility, thiod Itvoatock may extract a comparatively large cash r, turn an acre from pasture with a minimum charge for labor, power and machinery. In general, the stock grating the pasture from an acre will also consume the grain and roughage from another acre, thus removing two acres or more from surplus grain production. o— Simple I*rotein And Com Needed By Pigs Urbana, HI.. Juno — Protein is about all that a farmer needs to add to his home grown feeds for hogs, says E T. Robbins, livestock extension specialist. College of Agriculture. University of Illinois. Weaned pigs on pasture in experiments at the college gained as rapidly and more cheaply on corn with a protein supplement of tankage and soybean meal, two parts to one. than other pigs getting complex feed mixtures containing several other protein feeds in addition to tankage and soybean meal. In each case. also, the total feed required to make 100 pounds of gain traa less with the ration of corn and the simple supplement of tankage and soybean meal, two parts to one. 0 Juvenile Court Informal Indianapolis.
