farmers have planned a combination nf l,;"'k,'rs

In order to determine accurately the feeding value of peanuts for hogs, the Texas Experiment Station conducted a test in 1PU8 in which six pigs averaging forty-three pounds at the start were fed exclusively on Spanish peanuts for a period of ninety-one days, the nuts being separated from the vines in order to ascertain definitely the quantity fed. The results of this test show that the quantity of peanuts required per 100 pounds of gain in live weight was only 200 V pounds. This remarkably good showing is emphasized further when we consider that the average results ot test sat nine different stations in the United States show that 537 pounds of shelled corn were required to produce HK) pounds of gain, and that in no instance was less
than 179 pounds required. j According to the foregoing figures, ain acre of Spanish peanuts of a yield, of forty bushels, allowing thirfy pounds to'
the bushel, wouM produce approximately 40.) pounds of pork, which, if valued at seven cents a pound, would amount to f 28.35. These results seem to be entirely in accord with those obtained by other Southern experiment stations that have made similar experiments. Many of the oil mills throughout the South have been equipped to crush peanuts, so it is now possible to buy peanut meal and cake. Most of the oil mills manufacturing peanut oil use the same

ho2s which are objectionable to the
packers and consumers. Hogs fattened on peanut meal ill Im accepted by the packers as hard flesh, whereas from hogs fattened on peanuts the packer will deduct about 1VL cents per jMJund on account of soft llesh. In some places mills ate offering peanut meal for pea
nuts, pound for pound. The farmers can well afford to make this exchange, for the meal will add U cents a pound to the value of the pork, less the cost of harvesting the peanuts, as compared with the peanuts fed whole.
The Bureau of Chemistry. U. S. Department of Agriculture, is coducting studies on the protein of the peanut ami has found that it contains an abundance of basic nitrogen. This form of nitrogen is imlispeiisa hie to the normal nutrition of animals and is contained in inadequate amounts in the common cereals from which most feeds are derived. IVanut press cake hould therefore prove to be an easily accessible material to make such cereal foods more efficient. It is planned to continue practical feeding tests of this matter.
SPRING SEED GRAIN.
Wheat. (ireat 1'lains Area. The wheat crop of 1010 in the spring-wheat States of the upper Mississippi Valley was very badly injured by rust and other diseases. Not onl v was the vield much reduced. but the quality of the grain was generally very poor. Much of the grain is light in weight, shrunken, and doubtless contains many diseased kernels. Such grain is not good for seed purposes. Although plants may be pioduced from such seed, they are not likely to be vigorous, and many of them may be diseased, and these diseases will either cause their death before maturity or Ik spread to their plurt;r"'-u' 'j , in th 't'gion to make sure promptly of a sufbeient supply of good plump seed of adapted varieties, which will grow when sown. If plump, healthy seed can not be obtained, the seed that is available should be carefully screened and fanned to remove all those grains that are not good for sowing. In no case should the prevailing high pries tempt the farmer to part with his good seed wheat and cause him to rely iiKm shrunken and diseased seed for sowing. Such a course is likely to result in disaster to next year's crop. Pacific Coast District. In the states of Washington, Oregon and Idaho the spring wheat crop was large and the grain of excellent quality. The tempting prices for wheat should not induce the fanner to sell what should ke kept for seed, because no seed of varieties adapted to this sect ion ca u be obtained elsewhere. The dry fall has curtailed the
sowing oi winter wneat ami the acreage of spring wheat will be larger than usual therefore, and the demand for seed increased accordingly. It must be remembered likewise that the varieties of the Pacific Northwest are not suited to the northern (ireat Plains States. Barley. The barley crop for the past season in the United States was, for the most part, of very good quality and no unusual method or precautions need le taken in seeding the 1017 crop, except in parts of the northern Mississippi Valley. In this region the earlv arrival of
extremely hot weather caused a decided shrinking in 'most of the crop and for this region the bushel Weight is very light. The germination of the lighter kernel is likely to be low and the barley should Ih? well fanned In-fore seeding. only the plumjiest grain being used.
Farmers Cautioned to Reserve a Supply of Good Wheat for Sowing.
In order to insure themselves a supply of good seed grain for sowing next

fanners are advised bv the V. S.
Department of Agriculture to bear in mind the following information in re-
methods of grinding, cooking, pressing, gard to the seed situation.
SHIPPERS VIOLATE LAW. The officials in charge of the enforcement of the Food and Drugs Act report that inspectors have found several interstate shipments of packages of fruits and vegetables such as grapes, tomatoes and berries which contain no statement on the packages as to the quantity of contents. The net-weight amendment to the Federal Food and Drugs Act requires that all package of food which are shipjM'd into interstate or foreign commerce must be marked plainly and conspicuously with a statement of the quantity of the net content either by weight or measure. Shipper who violate the law by failing to mark the quantity of the contents of each package of fruits and vegetables they ship into interstate commerce are liable to criminal prosecution. Several shippers have already been cited to hearings under the Food and Drug Act for violating its provisions in this respect.
