FARMERS DO WELL

Record Prices Paid Wheat Growers of Western Canada.

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

It will be of Interest tn .nany readers to learn that their farmer friend In Canada will do so well out of tho vheat they crew on western Canada's prairies last year. There was a fixed price of $2.1."i per bushel paid for their wheat last season. Not knowing the price at whlcb it would be possible to market the crop, the Canadian grain board, which organization handled the whole of the crop last summer, fixed as a min imum price for No. 1 wheat, and arranged that each fanner should bo given curt 1 Acutes for the quantity of Trheat he delivered. The amount received over nn l above the fixed price which was pal I to the farmers when selling thIr wheat was to be divided pro rata at the end of the season, and the holders cf 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 legist 40 centa a bushel over the fixed rate of $2.15 a bushel for their wheat of last season. This means that about JMOtfHX),000 will be disti Ibuted among thj 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 last season's cr;:p. Canadian Wheat in Demand. A declaration that Canadian wheat would In all probability sell this year at between and $f per bushel, was made recently before a conference of western supporters of the government by Ir. Hobert 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. He stated that no wheat could bo exported from Russia owing to internal troubles. Roumania would have absolutely none to export. India was prohibiting export, while Australia's acreage would fall from 12.000,000 to 7,000.000. The result would In? 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 tho 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. lUirmese 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 use the holes for bouquet holders.

QUITE 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 States Department of Agriculture.) Infection with the bacterial wilt of cucurbits does not occur through soil or seed. The striped cucumber beetle and the 12-spotted eucurnher 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 Cnitod States department of agriculture publication detailing the results of studies on tho disease, which occurs In .Ti states, Including the territory from Vermont and Canada to Florida and west to Minnesota, Nebraska, Colorado ami 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, hut not watermelons. Use Bordeaux Mixture. Spraying with strong bordeaux mixture and lead arsenate paste (4-o-50 plus 12) 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 should continue at intervals' of about a week until the cucumber 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 .3 slightly earlier trap crop, such a 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 he 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 ac; cess by the beetles. Where a few plants onjy are grown in garden plats, screening the hills with line 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 tilled

Large Cucumber Field. with growing plants hand picking Is the only remedy to be recommended until some fumigant Is found that will kill the beetles without injuring the eucurnher plants. eside.s destroying the cucumber beetles, great euro must be exercised In disinfecting all Instruments used In pruning wilted vines before using them again on healthy plants. This may easily be done with a bottle of 1 to 1,000 mercuric chlorld and a sponge.

Far Better Plan to Order Additional Car Thin to Pack Too Many in One Compartment

Looses of hogs In the past have proven that It does not pay to try to croud a few extra In the car. It would be far more economical to order an additional car. the freight rate being no larger than the loss 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 spollago 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

Irr

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 dmieulties. Tills particular grov?r had a 1GO acre potato farm situated seven and one-half miles from a railroad. It yielded about 150 barrels to the aero for a total crop of around 21,000 barrels a year. Koad conditions wero sucb that one team of horses could haul but 20 barrels to a load and make but one trip a day to the railroad storage house. In other words, he required 20 teams to handle his crop If he;ot It to the warehouse In the 70 days be tween "digging" and snow. Of course all the other fanners of the community were In the same position and naturally none of them could secure anything like 20 teams. Kven if they had the loads could not have been handled at the loading platform. Incidently. the haulage cost of the 20 teams would havA been T.000. Tr-e farmer In question put the prob lern up to a truck concern. They pre scribed a truck for his Job. He bought it. This handled -J 5 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 Svhile it was doing it as the regular haulage rate by teams was 25 cents a barrel. Tho motortruck is not a curtail for every transportation 111, but it baa barely scratched the surface as n farm transportation unit. There are innumerable cases of where It can go a remarkably Inn;; way to give the farmer more of the profits due him. This story illustrates but one of them.

TO DESTROY JOHNSON GRASS 4 Crop of Oats or Wheat Will Keep Plants In Weak Condition and Prevent Root Penetration.

If during ihe early and mid part of numiner the Johnson grass can bo kept short enough 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 this purpose quite well. When the Je.inson grass is In this weakened condition, plowing in August will further weaken the plants and will entirely kill many of them. If the ground then is given clean cultivation until fall, nearly all of the grass that is not killed by the cultivation will freeze out during the winter. In case a good deal of the grass shows tip 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

It will take two or three years to get back to the normal amount of hay land, 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 bay that is very palatable and at the same time gives a satisfactory return per acre. Probably two and a half tons of cured hay would be about the average yield
