FARMERS DO WELL

Record Prices Paid Wheat Growers of Western Canada.

Will Get Above 40 Cents Over th Fixed Scale Set World Looking to the Dominion for Its Grain.

It will be of Interest tn many readers to learn that tholr fanner friends Id Canada will do so well out of the wheat they crew on western Canada's prairies last year. There was a fixed price of $2.15 per bushel paid for their wheat last seacon. Not knowing the price at whlcb It would he possible to market the crop, the Canadian grain board, which organization handled the whole of .the crop last summer, fixed .52.15 as n minimum price for No. 1 wheat, find arranged that each fanner should bo given certificates for the quantity of sehen t he delivered. The amount received over and above the fixed price which was paid to the farmers when selling their wheat was to be divided pro rata at the end of the season, and the holders of these certificates will, therefore, participate in the extra price received according to the quantity of wheat sold. The latest advices are that the wheat board will pay at least 40 cents n bushel over the fixed rate of $2.15 a bushel for their wheat of last season. This means that about S-iO.OOO.OOO will be distributed among the farmers of Alberta. Saskatchewan and Manitoba. This sum represents the difference in the price at which the wheat crop was Fold and the price that was fixed for Inst reason's crop. Canadian Wheat in Demand. A declaration that Canadian wheat would in all probability sell this year nt between '$3 and $5 per bushel, vas made recently before a conference of western supporters of the government by Dr. Kobert Magill, who was one of a deputation from the Winnipeg grain exchange. Dr. Magill argued in favor of open trading from the aspect of world conditions. lie stated that no wheat could be exported from Uusnla owing to Internal troubles. Koumanla would have absolutely none to export, India was prohibiting export, while Australia's acreage would fall from 12,HM),IHH) to 7.000,000. The result would be that Australia would scarcely have enough to feed herself, and there would be absolutely no wheat for Kurope, except from the Argentine and North America. Dr. Magill, according to formal announcement, though It would be Impossible to secure as good a price for the producer by control as by the open market. The United States market was now open, and, according to present prospects, there would be mighty little to spare from that quarter. The net result would be that Canadian wheat would undoubtedly go to u record figure. Advertisement.

Put Ear to Odd Uses. Burmese men and women delight in ear ornaments. The lobe of the ear is bored with a hole of astonishing size, and in It various articles are worn pieces of wood, jewels, or rolls of solid gold or silver. ' When no ornaments are in the ears, the men often put their cigars or any other small article in frequent use, through them, and the women ue the holes for bouquet holders.

STRIPED BEETLE ßuiTE harmful

Insect Transmits Bacterial Wilt to Cucumbers, Squashes and Other Plants.

SPRAYING IS RECOMMENDED

Insects Prefer Unsprayed Plants as Food and Efficiency of Control Would Be Enhanced by Use of Early Trap Crop.

(Prepared by the United Statts Department of Agriculture.) Infection with the bacterial wilt of cucurbits does not occur through soil or seed. The striptvl cucumber beetle and the 12-spotted cucumber beetle are both summer carriers, and probably the only means of summer transmission of the disease in the localities that have been studied. Introduction of virulent bacteria Into the interior plant tissues is necessary for infection. These points are given in a recent Knlted States department of agriculture publication detailing the results of studies on the disease, which occurs in 31 states, including the territory from Vermont and Canada to Florida and west to Minnesota, Nebraska, Colorado and Texas. The disease also probably occurs in parts of California. Of the common domestic cucurbits the disease affects cucumbers, cantaloupes, summer and winter squashes and pumpkins, but not watermelons. Use Bordeaux Mixture. Spraying with strong bordeaux mixture and lead arsenate paste (4-3-IK) plus 2) Is recommended where the disease is likely to be severe. Treatments should begin as soon as the cucumber plants develop their first true leaves and slum 1 continue at intervals' of about a week until the cucunber beetles practically disappear from the held. In localities where downy mildew is also prevalent the treatments should be continued later as a partial insurance .against this disease. The beetles prefer unsprayed plants as food, and undoubtedly the efficiency of wilt control, would be enhanced if a slightly earlier trap crop, such as squash, were planted along the edges of the cucumber field. The beetles could be easily poisoned there with a strong insecticide. Pulling of wilted vines during the first part of the season, or as long as it can be done without mechanically Injuring the healthy plants, will greatly assist in controlling bacterial wilt If consistently done in all neighboring fields. The diseased vines should be buried, or otherwise removed from access by the beetles. Where a few plants only are grown in garden plats, screening the hills with fine mosquito netting will prevent the appearance of the disease. Control in Greenhouses. For control in greenhouses the beetles, in the first place, should be kept out. Do not grow cucurbits nor pile cucurbit refuse in the immediate vicinity of greenhouses, as this attracts the beetles and many will later find their way into the houses. If the beetles once gain entrance to a house filled

LarQe Cucumber Field, with growing plants hand picking is the only remedy to be recommended nntll sonn fumlgant Is found that will kill the hectics without Injuring the cucumber plants. IU'shles destroying the cucumber beetles, great care must be exercised in disinfecting all Instruments used In pruning willed vines before using them again on healthy plants. This may easily be done with a bottle of I to 1,(HR mercuric ehlorid and a sponge.

MULCH IS NOT APPRECIATED

Practice Has Long Been Recognized as Important Factor in Successful Fruit Culture.

Although mulching has long been recognized as an imporiant factor in uccesful small fruit culture, the vnlU' of summer mulching In tin4 vegetable garden Is not yet appreciated by most home-acre gardeners, and It Is not practiced by them as generally as It deserves to be.

INJURIOUS TO CROWD SWINE

Far Better Plan to Order Additional Car Trnn to Pack Too Many in One Compartment. Lowes of hogs In the past have (innen that It does not pay to try to crowd a few extra In the car. It would be far more economical to order an additional car. the freight rate being r.o larger than the luv that may be entailed by the overloading.

TRANSPORTATION IS BOTHERING FARMERS Particularly True in Case of Perishable Produce.

Adequate Facilities Would Enable Producer to Pick His Market and Sell When and Where It Is Most Advantageous.

Regardless of the shortage of labor and other production problems confronting the farmer, the main cai&e for his not securing the full profits due him can still be traced to insufficient transportation facilities, at the time he must get his crops to market. The farmer who can convert the spoilago on the farm into cash goes a long way toward satisfactorily offsetting everything else eating into his returns. This Is particularly true In the case of highly perishable produce, also that which has a high market value early in the season. Another advantage of adequate farm transportation is that

wm&mmimmsmM

Gathering Potatoes in Field and Load, ing on Truck. it enables the farmer to pick his marw ket. He can sell when and where It will be to his greatest advantage to do SO. The farmers in the potato growing section of Maine have a period ot about seventy days to market their crop. The case of one man in Aroostook county and what he did to put his yearly returns in the plus column is not only interesting but typical of how these men solved their haulage dilliculties. Tliis particular grower had a 100acre potato farm situated seven and one-half miles from a railroad. It yielded about 1Ö0 barrels to the acre for a total crop of around 2-1,000 barrels a year. Road conditions were such that one team of horses could haul but 20, barrels to a load and make but one trip a day to the railroad stor age house. In other words, he required 20 teams to handle his crop if begot It to the warehouse in the TO days be tween "digging'' and snow. Of course all the other funners of the community were in the same position and naturally none of them could secure anything like 20 teams. Even If they had the loads could not have been handled at the loading platform. Incidently. the haulage cost of the 20 teams woult1 have been $i,000. The farmer in question put the prob lern up to a truck corveem. They pre scribed a truck for his Job. lie bought It. This handled 4.r barrels of potatoes to the load, made six trips a day and more at night, put the potatoes in the storehouse in 70 days and more than paid for itself while It was doing it as the regular haulage rate by teams was 2o cents a barrel. The motortruck is not a cure-all for every transportation ill, but It hin barely scratched the surface as a farm transportation unit. There are innumerable cases of where It ran o a remarkably long way to give the farmer more of the profits due him. This story illusUntcs but one of them.

TO DESTROY JOHNSON GRASS

Crop of Oats or Wheat Will Keep Plants in Weak Condition and Prevent Root Penetration.

If during the early and mid part of summer the Johnson grass can be kept short i nough to keep the plants In a weak condition, comparatively few root-stalks that penetrate deep Into the ground will be formed. An oat or a wheat crop serves tills purpose quite well. When the Johnson grass Is In this weakens! condition, plowing In August will further weaken the plants and will t-ntlrely kill many of them. If the ground then is given clean cultivation until fall, nearly all of the grrtss that Is not killed by the cultivation will freeze out during the winter. In case a good deal of the grass shows up after this midsummer plowing It may be advisable to plow In late fall so as to further expose the roots to freezing.

SOY BEAN GOOD SUBSTITUTE

When Cured in Time Crcp Makes Hay That Is Quite Palatable Yield Is Satisfactory.

It will take two or three years to get back to the normal amount of hay hind, and In the meantime the soy bean Is one of the best substitutes for the regular perennial legume hays. If cured In time, it makes a hay that Is ery palatable and at the same time gives a satisfactory return pr acre. Probably two and a hnlf tons of curd hay would be about the average yield.
