Grasses.
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

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.

Texas leads with 2.485.7 miies.and
Minnesota is second, with 1.7U.-T

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.

! interest in legislative matter anit ;
traia. a large co-operative organiza
tion. 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."

Prominent Speakers to Be

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

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

Cobs Provide Bulkiness and

Digestible, Says Uni

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.

this organization have been highly

having pure bred livestock for sale
can enter his stock. 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. Many
cattle will start eating oats before
they will corn.

Oil Feeds Not Worth Over
50 Per Cent More Than Corn

supplements for cattle feeding, are

the existing houses had nothing to

that its board, instead of being rcpre-

ARE you getting over a cold

self a victim of backache? Are
you suffering headaches, too,
dizzy spells, a dull, tired, worn
out feeliner and annoying kid
ney irregularities? Then don't delay! Physicians agree that a vast number of the
worst cases of kidney trouble are the result of germ diseases. In every infectious
disease the system is alive with poisonous germs and bacteria. The kidneys are over
whelmed with the rush of new work; they break down, become congested, inflamed
and diseased. Too often the real trouble is lost sight of until some dangerous kidney
ailment sets in. If your kidneys are falling behind, don't wait for serious trouble.

Read How These Omaha Folks Found Relief:
A. V. STEARNS, 1713 Webstar Se.,
says: "I caught a cold and it settled
on my kidneys, which made them more
or less sluggish, and sometimes paining
me if I would bend or lift heavy. The
secretions were irregular, discolored
and there seemed to be a heavy feeling
across the small of my back. I used
Doan's Kidney Pills and was much re
lieved. Two or three boxes put my
kidneys in a healthy condition and drove
the pains out of my back and made
me an strong as ever."
MRS. F. M. HENDERSON,
2905 S. 17tn St., says; I
used Doan's Kidney Pills some
time ago when my kidneys were
giving me annoyance. Doan's
strengthened and regulated my
kidneys so I have had hardly
any trouble from them since."
( Statement given November 17,
1914.) On May 15, 1920, Mrs.
Henderson said: "Doan's will
do fine work, for I have used
them with good results. They
gave me a pprmanent cure."'
JOS. GERDUN, 2608 H St., Omaha,
says : "My kidney trouble was brought
on by working in damp, cold weather.
My back pained and my kidneys were
weak and irregular in action. I was
so lame I could hardly turn in bed. I
read about Doan's Kidney Pills and got
a box and they rid me of the trouble
entire iv." (Statement given November
23. 1918.)
On May 13, 1920, Mrs. Gerdun
added: "Since using Doan's Kidney
Pills I have not had any signs of kidney
troublp."
