r FARM DEMONSTRATION Edited by T. Abruzzi Rye Best. Rye is a goo.i co\er crop and grazing crop in the winter. The heavier growth the rye makes for turning under or the greater amount of glazing during the winter the more valuable the crop, of course. Every foot of land that is not to be plowed during the fall or sown to some grain crop, should most assuredly be given a cover crop if possible. These cover crops not only give something to turn under the following spring, but utilize about 45 pounds of valuable nitrogen that would otherwise be leached out during the winter and lost absolutely. The Abruzzi rye produces far better results for both of these purposes than any of the other varieties of rye. It stands more erect, produces more rank growth, and, of course, gives a great deal more grazing. Many varieties of rye have a tendency to lie down flat, and this makes them less adapted to grazing purposes than a variety that stands up erect. h" eryone sowing rye for either cover crop or grazing purposes should, by all means, get some of this Abruzzi rye and try it. One bushel of Abruzzi rye and 20 pounds of vetch sown together, besides furnishing excellent grazing, will save and add about 90 pounds of nitrogen which will be worth next year in commercial fertilizers about 30 cents per pound. Are Your Cows Efficient? Putting the efficiency test to cows with the milk scales and the Babcock tester is one of the essentials of conducting a successful daily. , When feed is high in price a farmer rsnnnt afford to have boarders rn his dairy barn who eat up more in feed than their milk yield is worth. The Babcock test will show these delinquent cows in their true light and the milk scales will put the clincher on the argument. Testing cows will give some farmers a big surprise. Sometimes the cow that looks the poorest creature in the lot is the best butteiTat producer. Your county agent will be glad to give any farmer advice about testing milk and keeping records. Test, don't guess. Use of Formalin to Prevent Smut in Oats and Wheat. Smut is the most widespread and destructive disease of small grain and it occurs wherever oats and wheat are grown. When proper control measures are not practiced, it frequently causes serious loss. Fortu nately, it is not hard to prevent tms disease. Before sowing oats or wheat .farmers should treat the seed with a formalin solution to prevent smut. Smut is caused by a paratitic growth that lives in the tissues of the plant. The disease spreads by spores (very small, seed like bodies) which cling to the hulls or lodge in the creases of individual oat or wheat grains and are thus carried into a field with the seed. The spores germinate at about the same time that the ?' .... nn,l +VlQ ^lCOO CO ITTOWC p 1 <X11 W> tUHK uy aiiu inv o - - directly into the tissues of the young plant. Smut lives in plants apparently without doing serious damage until the plants begin to head out. Then the disease concentrates its efforts in the heads and black, sooty masses of spores fill the places where grains should form. As these masses break up, the spores are scattered over the field by wind. Many lodge in grains on healthy heads of oats or wheat and remain alive there until the seed are planted again. Some remain in the diseased heads and are carried to the thresher. In threshing, the smut spores are scattered everywhere and may find resting places in healthy grains. " ? A -11 Oat or wheat smut can oe controlled by sot.' ' o plantii.g seed in a solution muuo as follows: Make up the formalin solution by mixing one pint formalin (40 per cent, solution of formaldehyde) with 40 gallons of water. Sack the grain to be treated, about a bushel to a sack. Dip each sack of grain into the barrel of solution and let it remain there front five to ten minutes, moving the sack up and down several times to make sure that all the grains are thoroughly wet. Finally, lift the sack and let the solution drain out, after which either pile the bags of tieated grain together and cover with bagging or canvass, or pour the treated grain into a pile on a clean floor and cover with bagging or canvass. Leave the grain covered thus for from 12 to 24 hours. As a last step, spread the grain thinly over a clean , floor to dry. The grain should be dried as rap.uly as possible to prevent sprouting. . ."rturally, giain thus treated should 1 put in clean bins or sacks so as not o be again exposed to the disease. .jacks and bins that have con AGENTS DEPARTMENT M.

Your county agent will be gald to assist any farmer in treating his, | seed. Call on him. The most serious limiting factor in 1 Williamsburg county agriculture is lack of humus in the soil. The easI iest and most economical way to get | humus in the soil is by growing and j turning winter legumes. This also enables a fanner to get nitrogen from the air an.l cut his fertilizer bill. Manure is subject to heavy losses from several sources. For instance, many farmers lose practically all their.) liquid manure, yet this contains more valuable plant food than the solid. There are a number of ways to save stable manure and every farmer should exert himself to get the most posible out of his manure. The farmer needs cooperation more i than the city man needs it. Organ- ( ization can do even more for the rural community than it does for the urban community. Don't be a knocker. Boost the organization that you already have. An organization is no ! stronger than its members make it. Let our slogan be Push?Don't Knock. . ; Grow winter legumes as cover J crops and cut the nitrogen bill. j If you don't know what you give | cows and you don't know what your ! cows give you, why do you keep cows? Keep records. The Fall Garden. Every farmer can have fresh vegetables out of his garden every day in the year if he will but spend a' little time and labor in the prepara- \ tion and planting of the garden.; Now is the time to begin the fall garen. Aside from the pleasure of having fresh vegetables for the table j during the winter months, the finan-1 cial saving is worthy of consideration. Following is a list of vegetables that ; may be included in the fall garden: j ; Beets?Sow beet seed the latter l part of September. The plants will j stand the winter and produce beets for early spring use. i Cabbage?Good plants of the Wake field varieties if set now will form I heads before the cold weather. With I | slight protection both cabbage and collards will carry through our se-1 verest winters. } Kale?Seed sown during September I will produce an abundance of greens during winter and early spring. Siberian curled is a good variety, j Lettuce?Sow Big Boston variety for a supply of delightful salad dur- J ing fall and winter. With slight protection firm heads can be produced. Mustard?Mustard will stand any; amount of cold and seed sown during September will furnish greens throughout the fall, winter and early spring. Onions?White Pearl is a splendid variety for fall planting. Sets of this variety will furnish bulbs and tops during the winter and early spring. Seed may be sown from September 20th to October 15. Garden Peas?Plant during the j month of November for the earliest spring peas. Alaska is a good va- f riety for fall planting. Radish?Long white Spanish or | some of the other varieties of winter I I * radish will remain in good condition throughout the winter. Sow seed the . last of September. Rape?Though commonly sown for | pasturage, rape seed sown in September will yield excellent winter greens. Spinach?One of our most delightful vegetables. Seed sown the last 'of September or the early part of (October will produce greens throughout the winter until late spring. Turnips?This is one of our relia- j ble vegetables that will produce both; roots and tops for winter and spring use. Sow seed during September. Plant the garden in the richest ? k" "f-irrvi Havo nlontv of pidLC \Jli vuc xaiuii A*w?v humus in the soil. Vegetables to do best must have a rich soil ful of humus.
