Farmers Repaid bv I se of Gooc Wheat Seed, Sav Experts Yield Increased and Quality Bettered by Careful Se lection and Treat ment. Even though Nebraska, Kansan, Oklahoma amt Texas have just har vested a big wheat crop, good au thority has conservatively estimated that through,the use of better seed alone the total yield could easily have li>en increased 25,000,000 bushels. Tilts is equivalent to an additional profit of $25,000,000, as good seed costs very little more than ordinary seed. In fact, if belter seed had been sown, thereby improving the quality of the crop and eliminating smut, rye mid mixtures, the Increase in value would easily have been twice this amount. W. W. Durr, agronomist of the Ne braska experiment station, says: "There arc two chief reasons why pure seed wheat is preferable to ordi nary seed—greater yield snd better quality. "During the past several years, at the Nebraska station, the average yield from the use of pure varieties lias been 10 per rent more than from the common varieties. This differ ence would have been very much greuter had Ihe resuiis been com pared to the yields from the ordinary seed sown by the average Nebraska farmer. What Nebraska needs is more pure seed, free from rye and smut; ihis will not only increase (he yield, hut will produce a higher market grade of wheat." Even though country run seed may lack purity, it can be greatly ini proved by cleaning and grading. Good authority states that 20 per cent of Ihe wheat sown in Ihe southwest con sists of cracked, Immature or Injured kernels that will not grow. The feed ing value of these kernels, which are useless as seed, will pay the expense of running the seed through a fan ning mill. It is generally known that the best wheat farmers, who reelean their seed and sow only the purest, obtain yields of at least three to five bushels more than the country aver age. Avoid Kye. The presence of rye in wheat cuts down the grade as well ns the price. It darkens the flour and produces a heavy bread. Five per cent of rye in a choice milling wheat will reduce the price from 3 to 5 cents a bushel. More than 2’i per cent of the hard winter wheat coming into Kansas City during 1919. 1920 and 1921 graded down one grade or more on account of rye. On this basis the wheat delivered In Kansas City from .Inly X, 1923, to April 30, 1924, would have included more than 1,300,000 bushels mixed with enough rye to lower the .quality from one to two grades, representing a loss of ap proximately $50,000 on this one mar ket in less than a year. There may be one predominating variety In mixed seed suitable for local conditions, but it Is nut of the question to assume that a mixture of two or more varieties is uniformly desirable. Crops from this kind of seed do not ripen evenly and when sold grade as "mixed," with consider able reduction In price. Ixtok Out for Smut. The loss in the southwest lids year front stinking smut is greater titan for the past several years—amounting to millions of dollars. Fully 90 per cent of this loss could have been prevented through seed treatment just before sowing. The cost of the material for treating seed Is from 1 to 5 cents a bushel. The old standard and dependable remedy for smut consists of dipping, floating or sprinkling the seed In a solution containing one pint of for maldehyde to 40 gallons of water. The new. dry method of seed treat ment, copper carbonate. Is now being quite generally recommended by agri cultural colleges. It consists of thor oughly mixing the sent with copper carbonate dust, at the rate o( two ounces to a bushel. "Coppercarb," a well-known commercial mixture, may he used at the rate of four ounces to a bushel of wheat. This treatment cannot be made by shoveling: it must he done in some kind of a mixer, either home made or commercial. An old churn or a concrete mixer w-ill do.

British to Keep Farmers on Ijand Special (lommiMion Probes Agricultural Problems and Outlines Remedy. Hr l.t'TIIKK A. III HTON IxtrrnltlonRt News Service Sls/f I errrvponrient. I.ondon. August 17.—How to Keep the farmer "down on the farm" Is a problem that la causing British states man much anxious thought. A tribunal, composed of several leading authorltlen on agricultural problems which was set up to study the question, has jimt Issued Its re port, together with rerommendatlone of measures to be taken to revivify British sgrlculture. One of the moat significant findings of tha tribunal Is that Knglsnd Is ths only country In ths world where the total ares of land under culti vation has decreased In the last fifty vears. The report points out that British farm products do not stifTe* by comparison as to quality with those of other countries, hut that the fundamental difference is in tha elite of the agricultural Industry. Tha rapid Industrial development of Knglsnd In the last halfcentury, It Is pointed out, has drained the ag ricultural arena of their man power to the great detriment of quantity pro diirtlon. The crux of the problem, therefore. Is to Induce formers to stay on the farms and till Ihe land (hat Is arable. ‘Among the suggestions the tribunal makes to this end Is that In creased wages and better rural hous log Is the most effective eav of slop ping migration.

The state, brought face to fare by a series of hank and business failure# during the winter and early spring with a condition of financial depros sion. is confronted on the eve of the 1924 harvest with a business and agri cultural outlook which elicit# from economist# and bankers of the state a tangible note of sound optimism for the first time since 1920. Banker# In particular, those who have been advising retrenchment since the first flush of postwar pros-, perity, declare now that the process of deflat ion has spent its fury in t lie state and that, although some bank# and business bouses still may pay a penalty for Indiscretions of the last four year#, the Improvement In the agricultural and business situation already is so notable as to promise; to offset further reverses, with every assurance that the gleaning of the 11*24 crop will see more liquidation of agricultural and business liabilities than any season has brought since the descent begun. This Impression is riven authentic ity bv the judgments of men outside the state who have been concerned with South Dakota’# depression. F. B.

Chicago, Aug. 17.—Bulls enjoy corn l*h te control of the w heat marke; these ri yx, and while prices hav# ad* valued .15r in two month the top If n»*t yet in sight. As the \ve*k genii m*nt w es mote htiliish than ever, are prcdlc Jons were mote that the $! • ' level would b? reatch*vf shortly W«»i 1 • onditlon^ affecting the wheat tren appear to he gathering fre«h strength The successful '-oncluslon of the T.ondon eonferem e and the belief that foreign leans would soon he ron mated attracted prominent buying intc» the wheat pit last week. Farmers of the Fnltod States have rushed 45,000,000 bushels of winter wheat to market ihe past two weeks, hut even this load of grain has failed In checking bullish activities. Every bushel of wheat grown this year will be wanted, as the trade sees it. Frost damage is feared over the Canadian north w#st. The wheat crop in the provinces is maturing slow i at t.his time, and with temperature' below freezing Saturday at several point* in Saskatchewan and the for* cast for cool weather generally, th trade began to see the possibility of a further reduction in the yields up north. The spring wheat movement from the American northwest is approach ing. Cutting of wheat in the Dakota and Minnesota is under wav in many sections, and the quality of the grain is reported as generally excellent. Many in the trade look for a hea\ run of spring wheat from the thresh er. Northwest farmers had a ham time i f t last year and the belief many of then) will readily turn their grain into money. Prominent millers Halm the dome* tic demand has not been nearly satDk tied a* yet. There has been a better class o: public buying in wheat the past fev. days. If outside trade continues broaden, a* many believe it will hedging sales that continue fiom th winter crop and later from the spring wheat should be easily taken care of The Chicago market is relative^ cheap, compared with other domeatit markets and Winnipeg, and it is lik‘ lv only part of the hedging pressor* against the spring wheat movemen will find Its way here Minneapoh nnd Winnipeg should prose more hi tractive. The carrying charge on wheat fron September to December widened mi. to 4\ to 4“g cent* Saturday. Tbb should prove profitable enough t elevator interest*, and fend to ke*: deliveries on September contract* down to the minimum. Corn whs up 15c for the week n. th# new crop months. Bulls claim that unless weather condition* bn prove shortly prices will go much higher. The weather for maturing corn ha* been extremely unfavorable Cold, wet days and nights have held the crop back and predictions are made that the crop this year will be a short one Selling pressure In tb» pit negligible, except that in the wa\ of realizing. aih skti**.*n\ r H ay Fever Complete Relief Guaranteed in 24 Hours Through New Discovery * -.aJttfui »*■* I. -nllfc tratiiaau h** Ol«or«i.a «b,h banUkci m •">«!* *>mo!oin of Bar I*v»r—noi u week, or iti.ii but »chj»]It In •« boa-.
