The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

TOO MANY WHEATS There are more than 200 distinct varieties of commercially grown wheat in the United States, and the multiplicity and duplication of names has caused a lot of confusion, not only amone wheat growers and millers.

but also among agronomic workers and plant breeders. It is little von-! de that many farmers have demanded information as to the proper names and of the different varieties of wheat ' and in response 1o this demand the department of agriculture has prepared Bulletin 1074, entitled "Classification of American Wheat Varieties." This bulletin describes, illustrates and lists the symonyms, and gives the distribution of the varieties of wheat grown in this country. The wheat grower mav learn much of interest from a perusal of this bulletin, which is free for the asking. This bulletin meets the need for a practical and . usable system of classification that will enable growers to identify the varieties of wheat with which they are concerned. The bulletin should form the basis

for future work in wheat improvement, prevent much duplication of work in conducting experiments, and the fraudulent or

imtnnwin? rxnloitation of old vari

ctioo nf o.-hoat nndpr new names. Its

irrpatpst value, however, should be in

providing a compendium of wheats of North America for all workers in the wheat industry, especially those who have only a limited knowledge of the

varieties which are grown. Shrulev Bros. Heavy Shippers

The editor of the Pittsburgh Live Stock Journal recently paid a compli

ment to Richmond as a live srocK

chinnin? nolnt. to the Glen Miller

ctorkvarrls and to Shurley Bros., own

ora who are liberal patrons of the

1 rittshureh market.

Under the headline "Indiana Company Makes Good Record in 1922," the

editor prints a well aispiayea arucie

on the front page, in which he re marks that "Shurlpy Bros., of Rich

mono. Ind.. are one of the largest

shippers of live stock from that state to the Pittsburgh market. During the vpar 1922 they shipped a total of 240 rars of live stock from that point to

Pittsburgh." The article concludes by

stating that "this demonstrates to the Shurlevs that Pittsburgh live stock

prices are better than any other mar

ket they know of.

On the date of this publication the

sales list showfd that the bhurieys . topped the market on medium weight hogs in the Light Yorker class, at $9.60, which was in fact the high spot of the day at the yards, and the highest at all points between Indianapolis and Buffalo. This not only reflects credit on the Pittsburgh market, but also upon the clars of hogs grown in this section and the satisfactory manner in which they are handled out of the Glen Miller yards. .. Breeding Up. The results of the use of bred-forv production dairy sires is demonstrated in the performance of the two-year-old purebred Holstein cow, Purdue Segis Baker Hengerveld. She recently completed a semi official yearly record of 16 857.S pounds of milk containing 544.8 pounds of butterfat. The herd milk record shows that this production is considerable in excess of both her dam and grand-dam made at the same age. She exceeded her dam's production by 37.3 per cent and her grand-dam by 69.6 per cent. Various extension workers in corn

belt states have been checking up the

m results of planting certinea potato - 6eed and of the benefits of spraying, as shown by comparison with un-

sprayed fields. The verdict as to the use of disease-free certified seed is unqualifiedly in its favor, while the re-sults of proper spraying showed up most favorably everywhere. Take the results in Ohio, for example. The university claims that the yields increased as much as 107 per cent where

power spraying was done, or an in

crease in value of $33 at market price at digging time.

This was an average increase on

all the fields examined. Compared to a gain of $33 by power spraying, the

report states that by hand-spraying a gain of $30 per acre was made, while

when the spraying was done by a

geared tractor" a net gain of but $28

per acre in the value of the crop re

sulted. Four applications of the spray showed best results. To prevent hop-

perburn is the chief aim of the spray and for best results the underside of leaves must be thoroughly drenched.

Milk for Baby Chicks Skimmilk for hogs has long been

favorably known to dairymen and

farmers, but skimmilk for baby chicks is something of a new wrinkle, sufficiently new at least among most people to call for an explanation."

Above is the statement of C. C.

Sherlock, in his article printed in the

Dairy Farmer, in which he calls attention of dairymen to a new market for a by-product. Continuing his argument as to feeding the baby chick.

air. sneriocK says: "The successful development of baby chicks is a problem not ht'f so difficult as most people imagine, provided it is approached from the right angle; if it is not approached in this way, it is certain to prove an effective barrier to success with poultry because the maturing of a new crop of pullets each season to replace the hens which have passed their profitable period is the hardest job the man keeping hens has to face. And it all starts with the baby chicks right at the brooder door. That is where skimmilk comes in giving them the proper start."

Darke County Annual Meeting The farm bureau annual meeting for the presentation of official reports and election of officers in Darke county will be held at Memorial hall in Greenville on Tuesday, Feb. 6. An interesting program is being arranged to cover the whole day, the first session opening at 9:30 a. m. It is expected that the principal speaker dur;ng the afternoon will be Murray D. Lincoln, executive secretary of the

Ohio farm bureau. He has promised to be present, unless his duties take him before the legislative committee at' Columbus on that' date, in which case another state speaker will be on

hand. All Darke county farmers are invited to come out and enjoy the day. Membership campaign follows. At a recent meet ignof the Green-

though duck eggs are higher in price than chicken eggs (hence more profit, able) the ducks pay for themselves in their delicious flavor when roasted. "As for the number of eggs produced, I Hiink a duck has any chicken beaten 'all hollow.' For one straight week, to be exact, Feb. 7 to 14, 1921, I received four eggs every morning from my four duck3. Bring on your Leghorns! I'll put my Indian Runners up against them for eggs and meat any day in the year!" At a recent gathering of ruralists, one speaker maintained that the future holds better things in store for the farmers, but certainly did not attempt to set the' date. His idea is that consumption of food will increase in this country, because of increased city population, and that the then fewer fanners will enjoy a better market. Here is his argument: "The time is certainly at hand when this nation will eat as much food as it produces. Any further increase in demand which will surely come with enlarging industry and expanding city populations will give our fanners a better market for their products. It is very unlikely that the numbers of people engaged in farming will increase as rapidly as will the national

ville township farm bureau, in Darke I county, it was voted to purchase and install scales for the use of the shipping association and to charge $1 per deck for its use until the scales are paid for. Farmers who are interested in being sure of the proper ration to feed winter layers are invited to address Purlue, asking for Bulletin No. 101. which gives complete details for egg production, especially in cold weather. The bulletin states that: "Poultrymen have learned fo feed mash during the last few years, but it must not be depended upon as much in winter as in summer. Most pullets suffer in winter from too little grain in proportion to the mash, rather than too much." Young Duck Enthusiast Stewart Wilson, a 13-year-oM Illi

nois lad, is evidently a duck enthus

iast. He writes to a farm editor regarding his fawn and white runner ducks in a manner to prove that he

is a close observer and also fond of his ducks. After a few lines of introductory the boy says: "I am now 13 years old, and have kept ducks for five years. I do not know what I, or any of the family, would do if I were deprived of them. The whole neighborhood speaks kindly of them, and in comparison with our chickens, White Rocks, their intelligence seems so much greater that we often get angry because the chickens are so stupid. "I have never kept a flock of more than 30 ducks, but we have always

used their beautiful white eggs to eat-

ourselves, and also sold them at Easter time, when the demand in this locality is high. Three years ago I received 10 cents more for my duck eggs than mother did for her chicken eggs. "We have never been able to detect anything in them that is different in taste from the chicken eggs, except, pei haps, a nicer 'fresh' taste. Al-

population. We know that the enlargement of our good fanning area has its limitations. The possibilities of imports of foodstuffs are fully as limited. Other nations are ahead of us in looking for outside food sources, and these outside sources are limited. In other words, the demand for home produced food Is almost certain to expand faster than the supply. That is a happier outlook for the farmers than for the city people. "No amount of increase of demand will make every farmer prosperous, nor will it make good crops, and high prices every year. There will always be ups and downs, and there will always be some who fail to succeed.

Year in and year out, however.pro- i

gressive farmers should be glad in the future that they did not give up the land."
