INFORMATION ABOUT AGItlCUIi.
TCRAIi SUBJECTS FROM
RELIAULE SOURCES
A great many Nobraska farniB are
not producing their maximum crops
because of poor drainage. Somo are
not being tilled at all or aro merely
raising a small amount of wild hay,
which may bo eut and harvested but
are making no adequnto return upon
tho investment. Wet land is always
rich whoh drained and usually more
valuablo per acre than surrounding
land which has natural drainage.
High tile pricos and, x scnrolty
of labor havo retarded tho reclam
ation of thcso lands during the last
few years but at tho present time
tilo pricos are lowor than at any time
since tho spring of 1917. Labor costs
are likewise assuming a prowar basis
Bp that at no time within tho past
fivo years has it been possible to
construct tilo drainage systems as
cheaply ns at tho present, says tho
Ur.lverslty of Nobraska Agricultural
College.
Trap stealing interferes with' the
work against predatory animals car
ried on by tho Biological Survey of
tho United States Department of Agri
culture in tho Northwest. Stealing
Government property of any kind is a
serious offense for which a fine of
$5,000 may bo imposed or a sentence
of fivo years in jail, or both. There
are at present two offenders in the
State of "Washington who havo been
arrested on complaint of Biological
Survey hunters, and who are under
bond awaiting trial. Others aro under
suspicion aro being watched.
Tho offense of trap-stealing, in ad
dition to the fact that all Government
property must ho respected, is parti
cularly serious, because it may undo
woeks or months of careful work.
Prodatory animals destroy annually
many thousands of dollarn worth ol
valuable live stock. They are difficult
to catch and the hunter may have
spent a great deal of time following
tho tracks of a destructive wolf or
coyote and may havo his trap set at
tho very best point to intercept his
prey, only to have it stolen. The In
trinsic valuo of the steel trap or the
pelt of tho animal caught in it is a
cash loss to tho government, and the
potential loss of future livo stock
through sotting a dangerous animal
at liberty or interfering with its cap
ture is impossible to estimate.
Tho old strawberry bed, if it is to
produco well next spring, needs re
nowing soon after it has ceased bear
ing. Tho one year old crowns yield
more and bettor berries than the
older crowns. The object therefore
in renewing is to get an abundance of
now plants this year according to the
University of Nobraska Agricultural
College.
First the leaves are mowed and
with the mulching material raked off
and burned. This is of great benifit
in destroying diseases and Insects
which aro present on the leaves. Then
it is necessary to thin the plants and
glvo tho remaining plants good grow
ing conditions to encourage the pro
duction of runners. Tho thinning may
bo accomplished with a hoe, a spado
or a plow. If a hoe is used, a well es
tablished plant is left every 9 to 12
inches and tho others cut away.
Plants are left closer than they were
originally set sinco they will not make
such good runner growth tho sec
ond year as they did tho first. The
ground about tho plant should then
bo hoed to enable tho runners to
root readily.
Another method of thinning is to
leave a strip of plants from 4 to G
inches wide at tho edgo of tho old
matted row and spado or plow under
all tho other plants. If plowing is
resorted to it is necessary to lovel
tho ridges and pulverize tho soil by
harrowing crosswise,
Because their room is ;noro dosir
ablo than their company, Uio cockor
als during tho spring and oarly sum
mer aro about as popular as tho
appoaranco of. Jack Frost during the
peach-budding season. That is why
It pays tho avorago poultryman to
start a c)lean-up. campaign in his
yards which will result in selling all
tho surplus cockerals as soon as they
reach marketablo size. This dispos
ition of the malo birds will provide
moro commodious quarters for tho
pullots which are to bo raised to
maturity. Furthermore, as a general
proposition, tho earlier -tho cockorals
aro marketed, after they reach suit
able size, tho higher prico they will
bring, other conditions being equal,
on tho other hand, tho longer tho
cockerals aro kopt In tho flock, tho
smallor will bo tho net profit when
finally sold.
Tho Nobraska Agricultural Collego
RURA
READER
THE NORTH PLATTE
says It la dcsircablo that each poultry
man retain tho choicest, most vigor
ous and best grown cockorals In his
flock for subsequent breeding iop
oratlons, whllo it may also pa him
to hold back and grow to a larger
size such birds as ho desires for use
for tho family, tablo. Tho common
practlco to bo recommended Is to sell
tho cockorals ns soon as they obtain
marketable bIzo. In sections where
special and fancy markets aro avail
able, cockorals of the lighter breeds,
such as the Leghorn, may bo sold as
squab brolloVs when wolghlng from
three-quarters of n pound to one
pound nploco. On tho general markets
whofo frying chickens aro desired and
with tho larger breeds especially, tho
cockornls may bo fattoncd to weigh
from ono and one-half to two and
ono-hnlf pounds nploco boforo being
sold.

HOMEMADE BKEAI) UNDER SOME
CONDITIONS MAY COST
MORE
Tosts in tho experimental kitchen
of tho United States Department of
Agriculture show that tho quality of
flour used, tho retail prico paid for It,
tho method of buying, whether In
small quantities or by tho barrel, the
bread formula' used and tho number
of loaves mado at ono tlmo are all
factors affecting tho final cost of
homomado bread.
In caso a batch of fivo loaves for
which materials were bought in small
quantities and which were baked in
an uninsulated gas oven when gas
cost $1.20 a thousand feet, a single
loaf was found to cost 7 1-3 cents.
Tho recolpo called for shortening.
sugar and compressed yeast. Milk was
not used In tho formula tested and
would havo increased the cost of the
bread.
A batch of cigth loaves was mado
by a more economical formula and all
materials thpugh bought at retail
prices, were purchased to better ad
vantage "Strong" flour which gives
n high bread yield was solccica, and
it was bought by tho barrel, as the
farni woman would bo likely to buy
It. Dried yeast was used, snortening
was omitted, and tho baking was done
in a keroseno range. Under these con
dtions tho cost of a 1 lb loaf was
found to bo only 4 1-5 cents. Tho do
tails and figures obtained in thcso
tests aro available upon application
to the department.
