H a j.: g 3 I $ it i.t it U SPECIALLY WRITTEN 1L FOR RURf READERS INFORMATION ABOUT AGRICUL TURAL SUBJECTS FROM RELIABLE SOURCES The depressing effect of tho con tinued uso of inferior sires upon live stock production and profits is be coming too apparent to bo longer ig nored. When the grade and scrub bulls have all been converted into beef steak and "bullonio" it will be tlmo to ask tho average breeder to differentiate between good and poor purebred sires. The extension special ists and tho county agents of tho Agricultural Collego will bo glad to assist in working out a definite pro-! gram for eliminating the scrub sire. Scrub sires can not bo effectively leg islated out of existence. Organization, education and hard work will be needed. How does the typo of' corn that you soloct look and yield as compared with your neighbors' corn? Tests have shown that there i3 considerable dif ference between varieties. Many of tho .co.mty Agricultural Extension Agents are carrying on community corn tests to comparo umerent ear types and varieties when grown side "by side on uniform soil on one farm centrally located in a community. Each neighbor selects a sample trom his seed corn to bo compared with samples from the surrounding farms. In the fall tho corn is husked and weighed up, with each man .present to see how his corn yielded. If you are interested in such a test for your community see your County Agricul tural Extension Agent about the details. Tho starting of new growth at the crown and tho lower parts of the old stems is recommended by the Univer sity of Nebraska Agricultural College as a guide in deciding alfalfa for hay. If tho season happens to be dry, the new growth will bo slow in starting and the alfalfa will be in full bloom. If tho season is wet the new growth will start earlier or when the first bloom appears. Cutting the alfalfa at Just the titno tho new growth' starts ' gives tho alfalfa plants tho best chance to competo against weeds of nil kinds and also keops tho ground shaded tho grcatost percentago of tho time. Delaying tho cutting of alfalfa until it is nearly in full bloom has been found a hotter practico than mowing it soon nfter blooming starts. Trials mado by tho United States Depart ment of Agriculturo and State Agri cultural collcgos indicate that tho yields are largor over a period of years, and that tho life of tho stand Is proloncd by ddlaying harvesting until the plants nrc nearly In full bloom. Hay mado when tho plants are nearly in full bloom possibly is j palatablo, but this Is off sot by tho gain In quantity of hay. Tho fields that wore cut prior to or at tho beginning of blooming showed a tendency to die sooner. Cutting a 'oroplato in tho fall so that not enough growth was left for protec tion in tho winter also had much to do with thinning stands. It Is recom mended that alfalfa bo given time to reach a height of C to 8 inches be fore cold weather shuts off the sap flow. In tho past tho growing of al falfa In rows in dry regions has been recommended, but experimental evi dence gathered In the la.st fow years show that, with tho exception of a few rare varieties the seed of which sells for a 'high price, this method is seldom practical. Whore tho rainfall is not sufficient to grow alfalfa in broad cast stands it can not usually bo grown profitably in rows. A slight ly larger yield may be produced, but not enough to pay for tho added ex pense. Also tho hay harvested on this cultivated ground is apt to be dirty and it is hard to cut and load. Accumulating cxperienco also has exploded some old notions about the valuo of cultivation of broadcast stands. It has been found that har rowing a field of alfalfa ordinarily does not increaso tho yield; neither does it prolong tho life of the stand to any noticablo extent. Some sort of cultivation appears advisable In ir rigated regions whoro tho water car ries a great deal of silt or where tho poll has been compacted by the tramping of cattle pastured on the alfalfa. If weeds and grass work in and rrdu jo the stand it is better to plow up the field and put in another crop tor a year or two.
