WINTER KILLING OF WHEAT
While, as every grower of winter
wheat knows, there is no way of
absolutely insuring this crop against
winterkilling, there are seme things
that can be done to at leae: partial
ly protect the crop against ioss from
this source. The matter of first im
portance is tire variety. The Tur
key wheats and their derivatives
are comparatively hardy. Icwa 4i0,
Kanred, Iobred and loturk are all
hardy varieties for Iowa conditions.
The variety having been deter
mined. the matter of next Import
ance is seed bed preparation. Wheat
requires a finely pulverize d seed
bed. fine on top yet one that is well
compacted below the surface. If
wheat follows small grain and the
ground has been plowed, 'ne disk
should be freely used and be fol
lowed by a corrugated roller, if pos
sible. The more compact the seed
bed, provided the top surface is line
and mellow, the more quickly will
the seed sprout. Rapid growth at
this time means a more vigorous
aland before coid weather begins. It j
is also generally recognizt d that
there is leas danger of winter killing
when the ground has been well
compacted.
Then again, the amount of plant
food In the soil Is considerable im
portance. When the soil is well
stocked with plant food, growth will
be rapid from the start, thus insur
ing strong, sturdy plants to go
through the winter. Keeping the
soil well stocked with organic mat
ter, as well as with phosphorus and
potassium fertilizers, is important.
Where lime is needtd it snould bo
supplied so tliat legumes will do
their utmost in supplying organic
matter. The latter not only aids
the soil to hold more water, but it
also furnishes food for the soil bac
teria which, in turn, aid in convert
ing insoluable plant food in the soil
into solnable food. While early
seeding of wheat Is advantageous, In
sections where the Hessian fly did
some damage this year, seeding
should by all means be deferred till
after the fly free date. If this i3
not done the spring brood of the
fly is practically certain of taking
a heavy toll from the crop next
year. Observe the fly free date
wherever necessary.
CLEAN SEED, SAVE YIELD
Weeds are the most dangerous
enemies of crop yields, year in and
year out. Yet, year after year, thous
ands of acres of valuable small
crops are planted with uncleaned, bin
run seed. Ttre resultant loss in
yield, grade and quality of grain to
tals many millions of dollars an
nually. No farm operator would de
liberately sow weed seed, but this is
exactly what happens when bin run
seed is planted. There can be a
large percentage of weed seed In
grain without it being especially no
ticeable. The same grain run
through a fanning mill or recleaner,
however, will yield a surprisingly
targe amount of weed seed, cracked
and light kernels, and other imper
fect seed grains. One of the most
valuable items of farm equipment,
from the standpoint cf the cash re
turn on the investment, is a good
fanning mill or rocleane/. When
equipped with the proper screens
and operated at the correct speed, a
fanning mill is capable cf doing a
surprisingly good job of cleaning
and grading. There are a number
of different types of recleaners which
may be used. Some are operated by
air blast alcne, some by sieves and
screens and others bv a combina
tion of all three. Another type, The
disk separator, has different size
pockets or cells in the sides of re
volving disks. This type is especial
ly efficient in regions where there
is a high dockage content in tire
grain and where the dockage is
practically the lame diameter as
the seed grain, making screen sepa
ration difficult.

BREAKING UP BROODY HENS
In this age of serialization there
Ls very little need for a broody hen
on the average farm. Her specialized
job is to lay eggs, and eggs and
more eggs. The job of hatching
these eggs and of caring for the
baby chicks thus hatched has been
turned over to the incubators and
brooders. As a consequence, when
biddy takes a notion to revert to
type and try hatching a few of her
own eggs most poultry men take a
determined stand against such ac
tivity. Many times the problem of
breaking up a broody hen is not so
simple as just deciding that she is
| not to be allowed to sit, however. In
l breaking up broodv hens it is inad
visable to try to starve the hen into
abandoning ner mothering instincts.
Neither i3 it advisable to duck her
head in water as a cure. The best
step to take is to shut her in a
crate that is placed in a comfortably
warm, well ventilated building. This |
crate should have a slat bottom i
and should not be provided with Lit
ter or any material which might be
scratched into a pile for a nest.
Once the hen has been placed in
this sort of a crate do not forget
to feed her. If a broody hen is fed a i
well balanced ration and fed plenty j
of it she is more Likely to improve j
physically and to store up vitality ]
for another laying period, which
she would not do if improperly
managed. Another point to bear in j
mind is that it is much easier to
break up a broody hen if the at
tempt Is made when she first shows
signs of broodiness than !t is af er
she has been sitting for two or three
clays.
TREAT CAP>B\GE SEED
The dreaded black-leg disease of
cabbage claimed the entire 20-acre
field of cabbage from one grower
last season. With cabbage selling
At $20 to $25 a ton and the average
yield of from 8 to 10 too.-. ?n acre,
this loss ls enough to make a grow
er sit up and take notice, especially j
when tlie loss could easily have j
been avoided. Cabbage black leg i3 I
carried in the seed and therefore |
is more difficult to control through
treatment than If the organism i
were carried cn the outside of the |
VALUE OF SANITATION
Most grownups recognize the de- I
sirability of personal cleanlnav; and
of common sense sanitation in iheir
homes and places of business. It is I
more comfortable to be clean after j
one has reached maturity and too
inconvenient to suffer the expensive !
ills that result from insanitary sur- |
roundings. When it comes to their ;
[XMiltry. however, that is quite a dif- ;
ferent story in all too many in
stances. The same man w'ho would
recoil in horror from a filth en
crusted dish placed before him on
tus table allows his fowls to eat and
drink from utensils that are no less i
am offense to decency because tmev 1
:.fed. The only effect.ve control
worked cut by scientists Is the hot
water troa ment whereby the seed
is immersed for 23 minutes in water
heated to a temperature of 122 de
grees Fahrenheit. Even with this
treatment there will lie a loss In
germination or from 10 to possibly
25 per cent because old seed and
seed of low vitality will be entirely
killed. Any grower would be willing
to take that loss in seed germina
tion if he could be reasonably sure
that the organism in the seed was
controlled. Any grower, by using
a little care, can hot water treat
his cabbage seed at heme. Fill a
wash boiler full of water and heat
to 122 degrees, using two tested
water thermometers, one thermom
eter to check on (he other. After
the water reaches 123 degrees the
wash boiler is removed from the
stove. The cabbage seed Is loosely
tied In coarse cheesecloth bags,
about half a ]>eund to the bag. af ter
which it is suspended in the hot
water for 23 minues. Five pounda
of seed may be treated at one time
where a large quantity of water Is
used. Surplus water should be
heated in the teakettle and held in
reserve in case th" water tempera
ture falls under 121 degrees. After
the seeds have been treated fer 23
minutes they are removed, dipped
in cold water to cool, and spread
out to dry. It would be advisable to
hot water treat the seed just previ
ous to planting, then allow It to dry
so as to facilitate easy sowing eltheT
by hand or with the seed drill.
MOST IMPORTANT ACRE
One sadly neglected and very val
uable acre or part of an acre which.
Eroperly cared for, will yield the
ixgest net return of any cn the
farm is the vegetable garden. Val
uable, in that it returns a large cash
return per acre. Valuable, in that
it provides healthful and tasteful
food for the family table. Valuabla
in that it provides a reliable source
of vitamins for the dally diet, a
health requirement lor working men
and women and growing children
City dwellers are annually purchas
ing a greater amount of vegetables
while people In the country usually
find it cheaper and more convenient
to raise their own. The vegetables
raised and used from even a small
garden during a season would cost
the average family at least $50 If
purchased at a store, while thous
ands of farm housewives, especially
those who can many quarks of vege
tables each summer, secure annual
return of two, three or four times
that amount. The shadow of the
hoe handle has stood between many
a farm table and the vegetable gar
den. But by proper arrangement o<l
a garden the necessary cultivation
can be done by wheel hoes or even
horse drawn tools by the man of the
house without cutting in an undue
amount on the field work. Long
rows are easier to cultivate than
short ones and even if this requires
more space than formerly used for
the garden, the land used is much
cheaper than the labor connected
with ha>*d hoeing a smaller garden
‘ patch.” In this way a supply ol
vegetables for canning as well as
summer table use can be raised with
no extra labor while many garden
crops can be dried or stored In a
cellar for winter use.

CLOVER CULTURE
While it is true the.t red clover
will grow very nicely on soils that
are slightly acid, the fact should not
be overlooked that it will do much
better on a soil that carries an
abundance of lime. It will pay to
lime acid soils for red clover as has
already been demonstrated by many
farmers, but it isn’t so necessary as
It is for alfalfa and sweet clover.
These two levum'»3 simply refuse to
grow on soils that are even only
slightly acid, tt is a waste of money
to sow alfalfa and 3weet cloveT on
soils that show an acid reaction ac
cording to test. If you are in doubt
about the condition of your soil and
its ability to grow a big clover crop,
have it tested for acidity Your
county agent will be glad to do this
for you. The day is at hand when
guesswork on the farm is roo ex
pensive. Know the condition of
your soil with reference to acidity;
for it is easily found out.
