Wheat Growers’ of South Dakota in Membership j Seek to Control Crop Through Including 10,000 Farmers in Association—“Victory Week"’ in July. By Associated Press Aberdeen, S. D., June 22.—Control of 40 per cent of the South Dakota wheat crop this year through a mem ber1 hip of 10.000 farmers, is the objec tive of the Wheat Growers’ associa tion in an intensive campaign which will terminate in a "victory week" in July, according to plans announced by Harry J. Boyts, organization di rector. . The movement In this state, he said, is one phase of a national wheat pool being developed in the 13 main wheat growing states by the American Wheat Growers’ associated, with the aim of "putting a price tag on wheat." Formed year Ago The South Dakota association, formed here a year ago lost March, Is completing its initial wheat pool drive. Membership In the pool Is now hovering about the 4,000 mark. The rest of the quota will be recruited in the next month by a concentrated ef fort dedicated to the aim of reaching every wheat growing farmer east of the Missouri river. Membership quotas have already been tilled on the basis of contracts extending over a four-year period in J eight of the principal wheat counties, Boyts said. Members in these coun ties have pledged 3,000,000 bushels of wheat to the 1924 pool. Other States Working Building up of confidence in the en terprise in the face of spirited compe ! titlon from established grain interests has been found the chief requisite to the success of the pool. This is be ing aided greatly by reports from {some of the older states in the move ment, according to campaign direc tors. Other wheat pool states are Oregon, Idaho, Montana, North Da kota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas and Texas. The co-operative venture now has upwards of 10,000 members. It was begun in 1920. In Washington, the pioneer state, this year's objective is 75 per cent of the crop; in Oklahoma 55 per cent, and in Indiana 40 per cent. "Orderly marketing, in other words, k selling wheat when there is use for it, is the basis of the wheat pool," ac cording to Mr. Boyts. "We believe that farmers take enough chances with the weather and crop diseases and pests without dumping the crops onto the market and placing them in the hands of speculators for disposal. And for the farmer to merchandise his crops, stabilize or Improve the price,-he must co operate."

Centerville, la., June 22.—How old Is the corn belt? Further light on the question promises to be thrown this summer when Dr. Adolph C. Noel, a paleobotanist of the University of Chicago, undertakes research work in Iowa coal fields, as he will in July near Centerville. Agitation of the question of the age of the corn belt was given ex traordinary impetus two years ago when Dr. Noe found in a coal ball in Illinois a fossil plant resembling the modern corn plant. Coal balls are small round limestone balls found in coal beds and contain perfectly pre served fossil plants, fossils of the same kind of plants which formed the Immense coal fields of the world in the coal age. They have been found for many years in European coal mines, and have given to science all the knowledge it has of the plants which lived on the earth long before animals appeared. Coal balls had never been found In America until Dr. Noe, two years ago, discovered some in coal seams in Illinois. When one of these was examined microscopically, the airftz ing discovery was made that It con tained the stem of a flowering plant similar to the modern cornstalk. The find upset all previous theories of the age of the earth, ns the coal balls of Europe had revealed only club mosses, horsetails and others of the lowest forms of plant life. The discovery in a coal ball of a flowering plant, a type of life which science believed had been developed millions of years after the coal beds were formed, makes the old world appear to be a few hundred million years older than it had been thought to be, and the corn belt to have been a corn belt for quite some time. Whether Dr. Noe’, who was Baron Noe' of the Austrian nobility before he became an American, will And du plicates of his King Tut of cornstalks in Iowa coal fields remains to be seen, but his work in the state last summer has convinced him coal balls are present in Iowa coal measures. Col lection and microscopic study of them will add to the store of knowledge of the world's long ago. It will have commercial value also to the coal in dustry, Dr. Noe’ hopes, as "fossil plants which are found in the coal fields," he says, "are as a rule con nected with definite seams, each seam having a flora of its own. Therefore, whenever fossil plants are found in or about the coal scam, the seam can be identified. It is of the utmost im portance that this should be done, be cause the commercial value of coal differs with the different seams." Certification of Seeds Popular Many Applications From Farmers Received by Stale College. Lincoln, June 22.—Many applica tions for seed certification are now being received by Secretary P. 11. Stewart of the Nebraska Crop Grow ers’ association. This association, which is made up of 400 of the best farmers of Nebraska, oversees the cer tification of seed grown from seed developed and distributed by the Ne braska Agricultural college to the farmers of the state. A specialist who know's grain visits the field to be certified before it is harvested and examines it for pres ence of other varieties of grain, other grains and weeds. If the grain seems to be the pure strain of what the farmer says It is and if he has a record of the seed which he planted, the field may be certified. The grain is examined again after it is threshed. Such Htrains of small grains as Nebraska No. 6 and No. 60 wheats, Nebraska 21 oats, and similar high yielding selections are among those commonly certified. These strains are the superior selections developed from several years' work at the Nebraska experiment station. When a strain proves that it is a high yielder at the station small quantities of the seed are distributed to various farmers in the state. The purpose of the certlfilatlon is to trace and keep pure these varieties and strains so that other farmers of the state may buy the seed that is known to be the pure strain of that sent out from the experiment sta tion. Itules for certification are strict and only a relatively few farmers can qualify, according to the secretary. Inspection work will start this year the last week in June, It is stated. Farmers can buy of these certified seed growers at a reasonable price if they want seed of any grain which has proven better than the common variety, Stewart says. 700 TONS OF WATER TO ACRE IN IOWA Shenandoah, la., June 22.— It need mt rain any more this June foi Southwestern Iowa to have more than Its share of rainfall. Already this month 6.21 Inches has fallen, 706 tons of water to the acre, according to J. M. Darby of North boro, govern ment weather observer. Bast year the rainfall for the entire month was 4.31. The normal rainfall for the year is 35. Despite the heavy rains, the sun lias shone almost every day, the rains being at night.

IJncoln, June 22.—Jane Gerben Lyons, a junior 3-year-old Holstein ccw, owned by the Curtis School of Agriculture, established a new No bra ska record in her class by finish ing her year’s record In May with 21,522.7 pounds of milk and 717.41 pounds of butterfat, or 896.76 pounds of butter. This record displaces Ro salie Pontiac Ornishy Lincoln of the Walthill Holstein company herd, who held the former record. By gaining first place in the junior 3-year-old class, the school of agri culture at Curtis now holds two of the seven yearly records for butterfat production in Nebraska. This Is a remarkable record for so small a herd, it is stated at the Agricultural col lege_here. Other yearly records to bh complet ed in May showed that Quality Lin coin, a mature cow, own’d by the Agricultural college nt Lincoln, pro duced 1,001 pounds of butter In the yea r and that Beauty Girl Gerben Re Becky, a senior 4 year-old belong ing to the North Platte substation, produced 988.6 pounds of hutter dur ing the year. This record gives the North Platte station third place In the senior 4-year-old class. In the senior 3 vear-old class North Platte substation also placed a cow among the state leaders. N. P. Segis Gerben Re-Becky is credited with Is.393 pounds of milk and 647.47 pounds of butterfat, which gives her fifth place In her class. In the two day fat test for May. Mr. H. I,. Severe of Palmyra had two cows that produced over 5 pounds of fat In the two days. Of the seven classm reported, Severe's cow led In two, Union college of College View in one and the Nebraska Agricultural college in four. Mr. Coolldge certainly didn't dlscon tinue his morning walks on account of congress. He was in no danger of meeting any of the members at the hour he got up.—Toledo Blade. Cattle Shipments to South Dakota Increase in 1924 Some Losses Reported Due to Emaciated Condition of Some Stock—Mostly From Southwest. Sioux Falls, S. D., June 22.—Great er shipments of cattle were made from Texas, New Mexico and Arizona to northwestern counties of South Dakota this year than last, in spite of a decrease in tho number of cat tle shipped this year to the north western states ns a whole, according to a report compiled by the division of crop and livestock estimates of the federal Department of Agriculture, made public here. One region in northwestern South Dakota which last season received 171 southwestern cattle has thus far in 1924 received 274, coming chiefly from Now Mexico and Arizona, and the proportion Is said by the report to he representative of most of the west river range country. These cattle did not, however, arrive in the best of condition. They were somewhat emaciated, the report notes, and not in the best of condition to stand the late cold spring, so that some losses have been reported. In southwestern South Dakota where more than 330 cars of stock were re ceived from the southwest both last season and this, accurate estimates of this year's movement have not been obtained. Estimates put the movement of cat tle from Texas to the northwest from March to June Inclusive this year at 312,000, as compared with 340,000 a year ago—a decrease of 9 per cent. Figures for New Mexico show ship ments of 59,000 head In the same period of 1924 compared with 73,000 a year ago, and Arizona's shipments will run perhaps a little higher than a vear ago. A few thousand southern cattle, the report says, have moved into Wyo ming this spring, including at least 1,100 from Arizona and 1,700 from Texas, and several thousand went to Colorado, but the bulk of southern cattle shipments have been to South Dakota, Oklahoma, Kansas and Ne braska. Legislators to Work for Scientific Corn Growing Pierre, S. D., June 22.—Corn rais ing in South Dakota along lines of scientific betterment will he placed be fore every county by members of the state legislature. Is an Important feature of the plan which will bring the next exposition of the South Da kota Corn association to the state capital, according to J. L. I>ockhart. secretary of the Pierre Commercial club. The attendance of state senators and representatives will make the event an object of special Interest, he declares. The exposition will he held during the legislative session. A dem onstration before the solons by boys and girls' clubs, showing the results of their activities, will ha directed particularly toward showing what the young folks of the farms ran do in the way of Increasing and Improving corn production.

KEENE Cultivation of the garden crops is especially important this year. The cold weather this spring has caused many of the vegetables to grow slow ly, giving the weeds a better start. You will probably find that the rather frequent rains have packed the soil considerably so that a greater effort will be necessary to bring the soil back into good condition again. Fre ouent cultivation at this time is a great help in controlling weeds and conserving moisture. It also aids in warming up the soil and in liberating plant food because of the better aera tion of the soil. Peony plants are benefited by thor ough cultivation. The size of the in dividual blooms may be increased by partial' disbudding. The smaller and weaker buds are removed. Peony buds may be cut just as the petals begin to unfold and placed in vases of water in a cool, dark place. They may be kept for a week and then brought into the light where they will open up beautifully. The peony plant should not be manured or fertilized since this tends to stimulate foliage growth and to stunt and blight the blossoms. Strawberries should not be allowed to bear fruit the first year. The blossoms may be pinched off us fast as they appear. A stronger, more vigorous and thrifty plant will be pro duced. More runner plants will be produced and a better matted row. This will result in belter berries and a larger crop the following year. In the case of ever-bearing varieites, a few fruits may be allowed to ripen in the fall if the plants have made a good vigorous growth during the summer. Garden pests will soon be with us again and will require our constant attention to keep them in check. The cucumber beetle is one of the first to appear and may do serious damage to vine crops before its presence is realized. It can be satisfactorily controlled by dusting with ashes, road dust, air-slacked lime or flour. Arsen ate of lead mixed with the above, one part to six or eight of the above, will make the application more effective. Frequent appiicatioas early In the morning from a baking powder can with holes punched in the bottom will prove effective. Aphis or plant lice show signs of be ing particularly plentiful this year. They are sucking Insects and must be controlled with a conact spray. Nic otine sulphate or Black Leaf MO’ used at the rate of 1 pint to 100 gal lons of water, or 1 ounce to 6 gal Ions of water, will give good control when properly applied. One should remember that the solution must touch ttie insect if the pest is to be killed. Several applicators at Inter vals of ten days may be necessary where the insects are abundant. Sprayers: A email knapsack sprayer is almost as necessary for the home gardener as tlie garden hoe and rake. No matter what care we may give the plants as far as cultivation and wa tering is concerned, our success is go ing to be limited if we neglect to control the insects and diseases by proper spraying. A small quart sprayer gives good satisfaction on a small scale. High pressure and a fine spray is important in successful spraying. New York Bonds i - Bjr AworlRUd I're**. New York.

Lincoln, June 22.—Corn In Ne braska Is Improved somewhat over the previous poor condition and is "making splendid progress now,” says the mid-month crop report made public by A. E. Anderson, head of the government crops and livestock estimates bureau here. Most of the cornfields are in a fine state of cul tivation. although correspondents to this office report that the erop is "from one to three weeks late,” Mr. Anderson's report continues. About 11 per cent of this season's crop was replanted, says the report: 10 per cent of the crop was planted after June 1. Reports on the stand vary, according to the agricultural statistician. "Part of the winter wheat crop shows some improvement, but the crop as a whole is considerably be low expectations,” continues the re port. "Half of the correspondents’ reports indicate short heads on the wheat and the other half of the re ports Indicated only average heads. Over half of the returns Indicated light stands. Chinch bugs are pres ent in some fields. Weeds havi; done considerable damage to the fields in some places. June Apples Disappointing. "Oats and barley show little change In condition. Some of the earliest oats are heading in southeastern counties.- Dry weather has injured the crops in south central counties Some of the reports indicated that the germination was delayed, due to lack of moistening this spring "Harvest of the firs* crop of alfalfa started in southeastern counties a week ago. The crop runs light in yield, hut it is of good quality. Red clover looks well. "The June drop of apples is very heavy, and it appears that the crop will be a disappointment. Most of the heavy drop of apples is due to imperfect fertilization as a result of cold, wet weather. The pear crop is also light. The strawberry crop is satisfactory. Grapes and raspberries are promising. Livestock Satisfactory. "Reports of the soli moisture sup ply range from medium to plentiful, except in northwestern and centra! counties, where the soil is very dry. "Reports on the condition of live stock are generally satisfactory, a! though a few reported unusual losses. Two farms in Washington county reported loss of cattle from bloat on sweet clover pastures. There have been a few other cases report*.I this spring, and it Is thought that the pastures may have contained si.mg alfalfa, or pi --sibly the pastures were used when the sweet clover was very wet and extra large quantities c-n-j siimed.” FOUR SURVIVORS OF CIVIL WAR UNIT Shenandoah, la , .June 22—Only four members are left of Company F, 23rd Iowa Infantry of the Civil War. states F T Ix*yt news of the death of Amnsa Ineche of Alhambra, Cal., another veteran having been received.

L. Carlson, who has done considerable government work In re porting erop ronditions, investigating pests, and making crop surveys. “The germinating quality was weak ened by the heavy rains of last fall," he said, "which did not give the corn a chance to dry properly. Some dam age has been done by cut worms, .which, when not able to find the Juicy young stock to feed on, attack the softened grain.” Carlson, after a survey of fields near here, predicted that much of the corn will rome with the hot weather. Much Is being replanted, he said, add ing that wheat and oats are in fine condition. "While the stand of corn may not be so heavy there is no cause for gloom as there Is still every chance for a splendid crop," he said.

By Awoociat^d Pre»a. Lincoln. June 22, — From reports coming to the plant pathology depart ment of the state agricultural college here, one of the plant diseases which Nebraska farmers look for with con siderable dread at this time of year will not materialize. There will be little or no damage from black stem rust in the winter wheat belt by har vest time, according to the plant pa thology experts. This assertion is backed by information received by the department from its agents over the state. Owing to the backward weather the first appearance of rust near infected barberries was June !tlh, while the usual time is around May 20. accord ing to the agricultural experts. The average time for the first ap pearance of rust on grain* in Nebras ka from the south is June 6, they said. The southern movement of rust has. up to this time, been traced only as far north as Oklahoma, according to the pathologists. Thus, no black stem is present in Nebraska now, ex cept in slight amounts near infected barberries The first of this was found ner.r Ranaman, Neb., according to A. F. Thiel, state leader of the federal bar berry eradication forces. This spre d for some distance. "The winter wheat is as far ad vanced as usual and with rust three weeks late we do not anticipate any gieat damage to crops *n Nebraska," Mr. Thiel said. .Spring wheat, however, does mt have so good a chance to escape, -h experts said. The rate and extent of the spread of infection from the common barberry bush on which ru*t gets its start in the spring, still de pend, from now on, on wind and weather conditions, authorities de clared. The United States department of agriculture and 13 north central states, Including Nebraska, are urg ing eradication of barberry bushes a? a means of controlling black stem rust epidemics. Destruction of these bushes, it is pointed out. will pre vent the development of areas of in fret|on si:- h «« the* now under oi «- ■ vation near Panama. These areas are regarded as dangerous because high winds may carry rust spore* from the vicinity of barberry bushr* to grain fields many mile* away, the experts declared. Myra I.unner Married.
