THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY. MAY 16. 1921. , Agricultural News of Special Interest to Nebraska and Iowa Farmers Many Farmers Raise Supplies For Home Use Renewed Interest in Poultry And Garden Products Re ported in Middlewest ern States. Many farmers arc returning to the old-time method of producing large quantities of home supplies, as one means of curtailing expenses, accord ing to .members of the faculty of the tate college of agriculture, who are making a study of present condi tions. In spite of the fact that product arc verv cheap in price, there is a great deal; of. interest in poultry, gardens' and fruit raising. 'Likewise, a good many farmers are beginning to milk more cows. Some have gone back o their fathers idea of making the cream, butter and egg hfcks pay the grocery Dili, nuy much of the children's clothing and otherwise offset a considerable part of the household expenses A good many farmers, hard pressed for cash, probably with heavy interest pay , incuts and taxes to meet, now see the wisdom of spending less and producing more 01 ineir own :ouj. The United States Department of Agriculture sees much good in the return to the production of more home supplies and it is urging the vtate college of agriculture to en tourage interest in some of the home production activities more or less neglected during the period of high living. It is urged that boys and , girls clubs can be used as one means of producing more home food, such as vegetables and' poultry. Gar dens and poultry have always been popular subjects for clubs. . Tlv;y are subjects in which many yoimg sterse arc interested or can be readily interested; they 'require a -minimum outlay of money; the work is comparatively easy, and re sults are quickly obtained. In ad- dition, a great deal, of valuable knowledge can- be imparted to beys and girls through such work. Not .only . tan ,'mdre vegetables, poultry and -fruit produced at. home aid .in curtailing expenses, but their production will help to' maintain and improve the standard of country in prices of farm products, says the department of agriculture. The de partment atso urges the state college to promote interest in, inexpensive improvements. . .such as lawns, flowers, shrubs and other means of beautifying the farm home surround ings.

Grapes are repidly becoming America's garnered fruit. Thou sands; of armers and gardeners have fallen into the vtticulturists' ranks since .unfermentdd grape ,' juice has been elected the most popular fruit beverage in th Unitd States. New and extensive grape arbors will con tinue to spring up in every grape growing district within the next few years. Grapes will grow in prac tically every section of the country and they require little, space', which means that grape vines may be soon commonly seen rambling over back porches, arbors, and. roof's of both, the city and country homes from coast to coast. From Canada to tropical 'America and from the Pacific to the Atlantic, connoisseurs of grape wines have been carefully testing the different varieties of grapes, to determine the best kinds to grow for the making of unfermented beverages. In mak ing . these tests new flavors . ' have been created, and the testers find that there are endless possibilities in combining the juices of the different varieties of grapes that may be grown in a district. New colors as well as flavors are coming from the mixing of two or more kinds of juices. These new discoveries will, no doubt, lead to a' more careful selection of varieties The improved methods of making grape juice are so simple and inex pensive that more grapes are being grown oh ; a small scale for home use- ' ' This phase of the industry will no do'ubt increase rapidly. Old arbors will be remodeled and new vine yards will be started as soon as growers learn that surplus grapes can always be worked up into un fermented beverage instead of al lowing them to go to waste as has been the case heretofore. In -attempting to encourage the growing of more grapes, horticul turists point out a further advan tage of this fruit, particularly em phasing the importance of the use of the vines- as a shade. They be lieve that the grape vine could be used in the back yards of city homes where space is limited and shrubbery will not do well. The grape vine, with its broad leaves, will often serve as a . valuable .substitute for Agricultural College Sends Hatching EggS To Czechoslovakia The state college of agriculture recently made a shipment of hatch ing eggs to Czecho-blovakia. lhis new European government . is at tempting to improve the agricultural methods of its people and desires to introduce some American breeds or poultry,.. The eggs were sent to the ROernment agricultural - school. They were White Plymouth Rocks and , Rhode Island Reds and were from high-laying ancestry. They were packed in patent fillers and sent by first-class postage. ' Although the. state college- sends hatching eggs, to many- othe . states, this is. the first time jn -several years that eggs have been sent to Europe. Settings have-been sent as far as the state of Washington this spring. The work" of the college to en courage the raising of high-laying strains of poultry has attracted con siderable attention. Until recently the ideal of many breeders was to produce fine feathers. Prof. F. E. Mussehl, head of the college's poul try department, believes poultry should be raised primarily for eggs. Sugar Trading Opened On New York Exchange Trading in refined sugar for fu ture delivery was inaugurated on, the New York sugar exchange on Mon day of last week, the first transac tion being a sale of September sug ar at 7.12c a pound. The. opening call failed to pro duce any sales, although five trans actions were recorded later in the day. One of these was in July at 7.05c, while the others were in Sep tember at 7.12. 7.05. 7.08 and 7.07c. Tuesday only one sale, was recorded, this being in September at 7c, while on Wednesday a transaction was. re corded in July at 6.50c. Heavy Damage to Fruits Caused by Cold Weather Heavy damage to apples, pears, peaches, plums and cherries is feared bjj the department of agriculture, due to late cold weather this spring. The principal damage is reported m the central portions,' which include some of the most prolific fruit grow ing; states in the country. . Farmers and fruit growers are urged to nurse along trees in the stricken area as much as possible and every means of increasing" the crop is recommended. Growers are also urged to permit no fruit to go to waste for lack of picking at the proper time. Spring Work Well Along In Iowa and Nebraska Corn planting in Iowa and .Ne braska is reported well under way, although it was hindered somewhat by the rains of last week, Wheat and oats, are in. exceptionally fine condition for the time of the year and potatoes are reported as coming on in good shape. The recent rains have benefited the pastures and alfalfa and clover fields are further along than usual for this time of the year. Farmers in Gage County Well Along With Spring Work Beatrice, Neb., May 15. (Special.)

Grapes Raised on Large Scale 7 ih & rT-A typ ' nK''mmiemmmmij n "LITTLE SPECKS OF GARNERED FRUIT." This is a bunch of Niagara grapes, a variety of which is becoming popular in the making of beverages. "Cold" Niagara mixed 'with "hot" Wyoming grape juice gives a light cherry red mixture with an excellent flavor. shrubs, furnishing an abundance of green foliage, -an excellent shade, if properly trained, and then a crpp of fruit with its varied uses. In growing grapes for table use it Decrease Reported In Machinery Prices Since the price of steel was re duced on April 13, a number of the large farm implement manufacturers have reduced their 1921 prices, some as high as 10 per cent. Aside from farm tractors, practically all kinds of farm machinery is now selling on a lower basis. Early in the spring machinery manufacturers, claimed that "it was impossible to make any . reduction, but as soon as steel prices were re duced the matter assumed a differ ent aspect and machinery "men. fol lowed suit immediately in the ma jority of cases. This cut . in prices will probably stimulate buying of farm machinery to a Considerable ex tent, which has been reported prac tically at a standstill so far this season. . . Increase in Sugar Acreage Is Reported in Georgia A 13 per cent increase jri the sugar cane acreage in Georgia, as compared with last year, is estimated by the crop reporting service of that state. The area planted to cane in 1920 was 72,000 acres and in 1921 it is esti mated at 81,360. Coincident with the decrease in the area planted to cotton, which is esti mated at 33 per cent for 1921, as com pared with 1920, acreage of all other crops in the state show a decided increase, according to the scrop report.

J. Fawcett, director of the wool marketing department of the American Farm Bureau federa tion. Recent additions to the list are Virginia,. Indiana, Montana and Utah.' The significant feature of the re cent developments, according to Mr. Fawcett, is that both Utah and Mon tna are among, the largest wool producing states in the union, hav ing an annual clip of approximately 30,000,000 pounds. Arrangements for financing in a local way has been Erovided in these two states, there y distributing the burden over a broad territory rather than concen trating in Boston as has been the custom, is an advanced movement and will greatly strengthen the sales agency and should be the means of maintaining a higher range of values for ' domestic woofs.

Movie Machine? Largely Used by County Agents Rural Entertainments on Edu cational Subjects Growing In Popularity Wide Range of Subjects. : Moving picture machines are rap idly coming into extensive use among county agricultural agents in Ne braska. Four county farm bureaus have purchased equipment for the use of their agents and probably a dozen other counties borrow ma--chines or use those in local theaters, churches and schools. The counties now owning ma chines are Gage, Saline, -Hamilton and Phelps. Fillmore has constant access to a machine. In Hamilton county a farm lighting plant mount ed on a chassis is used to provide light. In the other counties storage ; batteries are used. - All films are educational in lieu nature and are obtained from the United States Department" of Agri culture, the state conservation bu reau, the state department of -agriculture and the state college of agri culture.

Nebraska Fair Notes A new fair has been organized in Adams county, to be held at Hast ings. t The Cass County Fair association has set September 28, 29 and 30 as the dates for its second annual fair, to be held at Weeping Water. R. E. Pollard of Nehawka is the president and O. V. Boone of Weeping Water, secretary-treasurer. The 35th annual Frontier county fair will be held at Stockville, Sep tember 20 to 24. Stockville is an inland county seat town and the fair held there is remarkably successful, all things considered. W. C. Wol lam is the president and W. G. Bart lett, secretary. The Nuckolls County Fair associa tion will make its annual trip to Lincoln on June 29 and 30, with the boys and girls' clubs that are doing fair work as its guests.

The new law relating to county fairs passed by the last session of the legislature will be of material bene fit to fairs, particularly those that are in need of improvements. The law provides for a one-fourth mill levy in each county, but in no county, outside of Douglas an'd Lancaster, is the fair to receive more than $2,000, which must be used for the payment of premiums and permanent im provements. In Douglas county the limit that may be used is $7,600 and in Lancaster county $3,000. OU By EARLE M. WHITNEY. Impossible as it may seem never theless it is a fact that a fully equipped, modern poultry farm of eight and oni-half acres is operating within the city limits of Chicago. True, it is way south on' Western avenue, outside the thickly populated area. However, it savors of the un usual a poultry farm within the con fines of the metropolis of the west. . Until recently this farm was owned by Herman Grossman, proprietor of the States Restaurant. It is said that Mr. Grossman expended $100,000 on the plant. The capacity is 3,000 lay ing hens. The incubators will ac commodate 16,000 eggs per hatch, and the brooder houses are equipped to take care of 19,000 chicks at one time. The new company formed to continue operation of the farm is known as the States Poultry Farm company. Herman Grossman is president and F. A. Kaup of the Mammoth Hatchery, vice president and general manager. So far as the writer can learn, the States, farm will be under the supervision of the Mammoth Hatchery, which already has three farms and five stores. Editor Piatt of the American Poul try Journal suggests that poultry raisers write their representatives in congress, urging that they vote for an import duty of 12 cents on eggs in shells and 15 cents on frozen or dried eggs. This is good advice. Poultry raisers on the west coast are already working along these lines, and. it is predicted that the industry will soon be protected from . the menace of Chinese eggs. While'cggs are at the present low level, it is an excellent time to pre serve them for fall and winter use, when prices will of a certainty be much higher. The most common r SomnjLancf C7 The aneient . Mexicans used to make idols of seeds and then eat them, so that they might be fa vored by' the gods. This was es pecially done by those in ill health. In Bohemia, it is considered lucky to have an -aspen planted on the premises. If you sow rape seed with imprecations, it will graw and thrive, but if sowed with praises, it will do the reverse. This rule in gardening never forget. To bow dry and set wet. Never sow anything on your birth day, for it is a sign that it will out live you. As many nights as the moon is ob scured by clouds, so many days will be delayed the coming up of planted seed. jsome people think that if seeds are sown on Palm Sunday, they will be sure to come double. Flowers should be planted or potteed in the sign of Virgo, thi virgin. Tuberous rooted vegetables such as potatoes, turnips, etc., should not be planted in the sign of Pisces (the fish), but in the sign of Libra (the reins or scales.) If you plant peas, beans, peanuts Three Crops Per Year Possible in Nebraska 'It is not necessary for farmers to travel southward and buy high-priced , swamp land to produce three crops a year. The Nebraska col lege of agriculture calls attention to the fact that sheep, which will thrive in this territory, produce three crops and the harvesting occurs at dif ferent seasons, so that the income is distributed throughout the year. A . flock of sheep produces wool in the spring, lambs in the summer and ewes in the fall. Some day the opportunities of a small flock of sheep on the average farm will .be appreciated. The dairy coty.and the poultry flock are stand bys' of the farm in periods of depres sion and a flock of sheep also will prove an anchor to windward when other production proves unprofitable. It may be necessary to discount the possibility of profit on the wool crop, but sheep for meat produc tion are worth while and they can be kept, largely on unmarketable roughage and pasture which other wise would go to waste. Minden Legion Carnival Is Financial Success Minden, Neb., May. 15. (Special.) The American Legion carnival here was a huge .success. It was run on the plan of the ordinary carnival, with enough variation to make it in teresting Over $1,100 was taken in, with expenses of $300. preservative in use is silicate of soda (water glass). The water glass method of preservation is recom mended by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture and readers can secure full instructions by address ing the department. One of the most fatal mistakes in preserving eggs is failure to use in fertile eggs only. Bear in mind that fertile eggs do not, as a rule, pre serve satisfactorily, and you will save yourself trouble and disappointment.
