4 4 1 ' ' l W V jj." r 4k, J Offers Prctlcrns That Do C: Bother ths Farmer Who Uses EL1 al - .o.Sit Ci Necessary to Lay Out Fields So Thst High-Class Jcb Can Se Dene Short Turns Are AwkwardAdvantages Summarized. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Plow-in? with tractors presents some problems that never bother the man who uses: horse-drawn implements. It is necessary to lay out fields, so that a high-class job of plowing can be done over the entire area with the minimum use of a horse-drawn plow in starting and finishing the work. The methods in general use are divided into two classes those in which the plows ure elevated and no plowing is done across the ends, and those in which the plows are left in the ground, continuously. Tn most cases better plowing can be done when the plows are idle across the ends of the fields, and for this reason the methods of this class are more popular, but many farm em prefer the other methods, as they eliminate waste of time and labor. Plowmen using tractors wisii to reduce to a minimum the time spent In running with plows out of the ground. While it is necessary to do some traveling while the plows are idle, care should he taken not to- do too much of it, as it reduces the number of acres which can be plowed in a day, making the tractor that much less efiicient. Short turns, however, are awkward for most tractors, and where such turns are necessary the operator fsf ten has more or less difficulty in getting the outfit in the correct position for starting into the new furrow at the right point. Some tractors turn more easily in one direction than others, and this should be taken into consideration in laying out the fields. Advantages Summarized. The advantages of plowing by the methods in which the plows are idle across the ends of the fields are that the short, awkward turns are eliminated, except in some cases at the beginning and ends of the lands, and usually less spaces will be left at the corners to be plowed with horses. The advantage of the other methods are that little or no time is lost in travv. Plowing With Tractors Presents Problems That Never Trouble Man Who Uses Hor6e-Drawn Implements, cling with the plows out of the ground, and that ordinarily the number of dead furrows and back furrows will he considerably less. In using the first-named methods it is necessary to measure the lands in the center of the field accurately, leaving an equal area on all sides of the field in which to turn the. outfit, and which can be plowed last by running the tractor completely around the field several times. If one end of the field is unfenced the outfit can b pulled out into a road or lane, or an adjoining field, for turning. It may be preferable to plow up to the fence on the two sides as the body of the field is being plowed, and leave the headland only across the end of the field which is fenced. The width of the headland will depend largely on the turning radius of the tractor. With easily handled outfits it is not necessary to leave more than 15 or 20 feet. Careful Plowing Saves Time. If the field is to be finished up in the best manner, with no irregular, unplowed strips between the land or at the edges, It is essential that care be taken to have the headland of the same width clear around the field, to have the distances measured exactly when starting new lands, and to have the first furrows ns nearly straight as possible. A little extra time taken In measuring off the necessary distances and setting plenty of stakes for guidance will nearly always be more than returned in saving time at the finish. If the tractor pulls three or mere plcws. cutting a total width of three or mere feet, soma effort should be mada to have the width ef the headlands en exact multiple of the total width ef the plow, so that the last strip across the field will exactly cut out the land or finish it to the fence. This will do away with the necessity making a trip across the field, probably over the plowed ground, to turn a narrow Elrip wMch has been left cnplowctL

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Organized poisoning operations were extended over 1,231,207 prairie-dog-infested acres in New Mexico last year under the co-operative war measure work of the biological survey of the United States department of agricul ture, the New Mexico state council of defense, and the extension service of the New Mexico college of agriculture. This included the protection of 212,992 acres of crops in all parts of the state, nearly 5,000 land owners taking active part in the work. The expenditures of the federal and state governments and of co-operators totaled less than $00,000. The actual cost for the treatment of range land was less than 4 cents an acre. If average crop returns in New Mexico be placed as low as $20 an acre, the saving in crops alone for this one season is approximately $000,000. To this should ho New Mexico Practiced Poison Control on 1,231,297 Acres Against Prairie Dogs Last Year. added the benefit from the destruction of prairie dogs on over a million acres of range and the consequent increased value in crops and forage for seasons to come. Better organization will result from the experiences of last year, and the biological survey and the authorities in New Mexico are in a position to push much more vigorously the work of clearing the state of prairie dogs. Economy and effectiveness have been increased through recent improvements in poisoning methods and, with the help of legislative measures anil the hearty co-operation of all ranchmen, it is hoped that the prairie dog will be entirely eradicated before many years. SELECT POTATOES FOR SEED Grower Cannot Expect to Get Maximum Yields From Inferior Stock Best Time at Harvest. ( Prepared by the United States Department of AfrrienTf ure.) The custom of using as seed potatoes f It ft from the previous season's crop, j after having disposed of the best, mioat be discontinued if the present quality and yield of the crop is to he materially improved, say specialists of the United States department of agriculture. The grower cannot expect to get maximum yields from inferior seed stock any more than the dairyman can expect to get maximum milk yields from scrub cows. The best time to select seed potatoes, according to the specialists, is in the fall when the crop is being harvested. Then the yield of the individual plant and the quality of the tubers can be considered. Good seed is pure in fTspeot to the variety ; is produced by healthy, vigorous, heavy-yielding plants grown under favorable climatic conditions; is somewhat immature; reasonably uniform in size and shape; firm and sound. The first sprouts should begin to develop at planting time. STERILIZATION IS NECESSARY Washing of Dairy Utensils by Process Ordinarily Used Is Not Always Sufficient. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Sterilization of dairy utensils Is iieeessary for the production of dairy products of high quality, particularly milk and cream, because the washing of dairy utensils, at least by the process ordinarily used, is not sufficient to insure freedom from Infection and contamination.
