The prospective denund for lim- 1 othy seed is uticlungi'd to ulightly I inrgcr than a year ago. Jn the !.itet reporting an increaxed de mand dealers attcih'i'e such increase to the low price of the deed, the i.esire to increase the acreage ,ovn to gra-.'. and the smaller supply of home-grown seed in many section. Kentucky blurgrass is in poor de mand for pastures because of the abnormally lit kH price, but the in dications are that the demand for i.iwns will not be reduced. The de mand for redtop also is expected to be Jpss hecausc of the high price, v.hile that for orchard grass will be 1 radically unchanged. Millet and Sorghums. A few states and district report a prospective increased demand for mil lets because of a greater interest in dairying and livestock and a conse quent demand for more hay. Reports indicate a slight increase in the de mand for forage sorghum and an un changed demand for grain sorghum seed compared with last year. Peas and Beans. A S per cent increase in the de mand for Canada field peas is report ed for New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Idaho. All other states indicated that the demand would, be the same or less than a year ago. More cowpeas and soy beans will be sold in the corn belt because of the lower price of these seeds and the in creasing popularity of soy beans as a grain, forage, and soil-improving crop. A 10 to .50 per cent increase in the demand for seed of these crops also is reported in Louisiana. Maryland and Virginia. Seed Corn. In all of the more important corn producing states the prospective de mand for seed corn is about 5 per cent less than last year because the 19JI crop generally was of good quality and farmers were able either to save seed of their own produc tion or to obtain their supply from 1 other local farms. Reports indicate J that efforts to reduce the corn acre- j age are having little or no effect on : the demand for seed. j Seed Grains. j A falling off in the demand for seed wheat is noted in the New Eng land states. New York, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and Texas, and an increase of 5 to ID per cent in Michigan, Illinois, the Dakota and the Pacific coast states. The prospective de mand for seed oats is 5 to JO per cent greater in most of the. heavy produc ing states because much of the 1921 crop was light and chaffy and unde sirable for seeding purposes. In manv sections, however, there are sufficient stocks of 19J0 crop seed oats to supply the demand. The de mand for seed barley is affected by much the same conditions as seed oats. - Stale Is Third in Building . of Roads With Federal Aid Lincoln. Nebraska ranks third in the union in the mileage of roads built, under construction or under agreement for construction in con-, junction with federal aid funds since July 1, 1916, according to George E. Johnson, secretary of the state de partment of public works. Nebraska has 1.512.4 miles of improved road, at an estimated cost of SS.479,450.27 of which S4,142.468.38 is federal aid. Mr. johnsorr states. Texas leads with 2.485.7 miies.and Minnesota is second, with 1.7U.-T miles, according to figures. Iowa follows Nebraska with 1,509.2 miles and Georgia ranks fifth, with 1.05J.8 miles. No other states show a total of 1,000 miles or more. Tree Pruning ISreeds Care to Be Success. Say Experts Lincoln In pruning, great care should be exercised in making the cut, declare horticulturists of the state agricultural college, if the T.-ound is to heal over. The time, they say, has little to do tvith the lap'idity of healing. A saw is the best implement as the cut can be made close to the remaining branch and thus prevent stubs being left to rot down into the trunk ot" the tree. The specialists advise that all wounds an inch or more in diameter should be painted over, and white lead mixed with linseed oil, is rec ommended. Removal of dead, brok en and diseased branches, water spouts, crossing or rubbing branches and branches that touch the ground, also is suggested by the soecialists. time hntore the potatoes set, prcter- ; ably ahout two w eeks after planting, j or just before the potatoes come ' through the ground, the announce ' mem state.

This concentration has been a difficult undertaking, however. In the tirst place, in former years the wheat was mostly grown under large es- tate owner, whose managing organ ization assembled several carloads at a given point, where it wa sold to a single buyer, who transoorted it to a place of shipment, rail or water. These organizations have disao oeared since the expropriation of the large estate by the government and no buying organizations have grown up to take their place. Second, the peasants were reluctant to sell their wheat at the low fixed price and therefore did not haul it to the points where the Centrala had opened purchasing agencies. Al though the idea of concentrating grain through the Centrala may be a logical one. it will take time to effect an efficient working organiza tion. Government Export Plan. The plan of the government under the control system now in effect is to permit the exportation of not only 50 per cent of the wheat crop but also 50 per cent of all other cereals. That part of the wheat crop intended for home consumption is to be sold by the government at a low price settled conditions in Rumania and the very low price offered for wheat, so large an extension is highly :m probable. Bessarabia is the only part of Ru mania that ordinarily sows large areas of spring wheat. Barley, oats, and corn brought relatively much better prices than wheat during 1921, and it is doubtful whether the peas ant will take the risk of seeding wheat which he does not eat and which is subject to mobilization by the government -at an unsatisfactory fixed price. The 1921 corn crop of Greater Rumania amounted to slightlv over 99.036,000 bushels. -This is barely sufficient to supplv local needs since it is 1.000,000 bushels lessthan the prewar crop of the old kingdom alone. The barley and rye crops for Greater Rumania also show large decreases. The production of oats, however, shows an increase of about 12,000,000 bushels over the 1920 croo. W'hen all of these factors are con sidered it is evident that Rumania, which at first was expected to pro vide a large part of the cereals for the rest of Europe, will be a small factor in the export situation. j although hay or other litter that does not contain weed seeds mav be used instead of straw. The mulch main tain a lower soil temperature ami a more uniform temperature than exist in unmulched soils. The straw mulch also retains the soil moisture more effectively. Have Patch Near Stack. "For convenience, many farmers place their potato patch in the field next to the straw stack. Farmer who raise as much as five to if acres of potatoes, by this method can raise their own seed potatoes on approximately half an acre. This plan probably will be profitable throughout those parts of the state located south and east of the sand hills." Grinding of Ear Corn for Feeding Has Good Points Pure Bred Livestock Sales Association Is Organized Kearney, Neb. -The Farmers Pure Bred Livestock Sales association, an auxiliarv of the Farm bureau, has Prominent Speakers to Be at Feeders' Convention Lincoln The program of the annual stock feeders' convention to be held in the judging pavilion at the agricultural college here, March 28, includes a number of prominent speakers and some interesting re sults of the winter's experimental work. Officials in charge of the con vention are making arrangements for an attendance ot between 300 and 400 people, although with the favor able turn in the livestock markets, these officials expect an increased at tendance over former years. This will be the 10th convention of the kind to be held. Nebraska was one of the first states to inaug urate the custom of holding a stock feeders' convention each spring at the conclusion of the winter's ex perimental work. in aeert.nnmg the stand of legis lative candidates on the Farmer union program. Of the program adopted bv the state convention in January, the committee is emphasiz ing especially the repeal oi all laws and regulations interfering with car door marketing, the taxation or public utilities at their rate-making value, and increased county au thority over highway expenditures and auto license fees. Among na tional issues, special stress is being laid upon reform of the federal re serve system to serve agriculture better.

Lincoln. The grinding of shelled corn to feed cattle that are being prepared for market, irrespective of ages, is hardly justified, according to the department of animal husbandry of the University of Nebraska. The only exception would be in an in stance where a feeder would not have many hogs to follow the cat tle and, consequently, the grinding would pay for itself by the better usage of the corn made by the cattle, the department states. Keeping Qualities Poor. The chief objections to grinding shelled corn are that it requires con siderable labor and will not keep in quantities over any length of time, especially in warmer weather, says the department. Furthermore, it says, cattle do not relish it to any greater extent than they do shelled corn. "There are many commendable features in the practice of grinding ear corn," says the department. "While the cob does not contain much food value, it tends to supply bulkiness to the mass going into the animal's stomach and makes the corn somewhat more easily digestible. Likewise, the grinding of ear corn gives a feed which is safe for cattle, even though they have not been on grain for any length of time. The mass is so bulky that even a large quantity of it does not result in di gestive troubles. Cattle of alt ages seem to relish ground ear corn. Ears Must Be Broken.

A dollar mem bership fee is asked. Starting Cattle on Feed Simple if Roughage Given Lincoln. March 19. Starting 2 and 3-year-old cattle on feed is a com paratively simple problem, provid ing plenty of roughness is supplied and the grain is increased gradual ly, says the department of animal husbandry of the University of Ne braska. "Ground and broken ear corn, crushed snapped corn or oats, is oreferable to shelled corn as they provide bulk which results in an easi ly digestible mass and consequently causes but little digestive trouble, according to the department.
