THE, STANFORD WORLD 4 • 4 WESTERN CANADA'S CROPS Got an Excellent Start. Big Yields Now Assured. Never in the history of Western Canada did the seed enter the ground under more favorable conditions. The weather during the month of April was perfect for seeding operations, and from early morning until late at night the seeders were at work, and every acre that could be profitably sown was placed under requisition. Farmers entered% heart and soul into the campaign of greater production. There was the time and the opportu- nity for careful preparation, and as a consequence with favorable weather from now on there will be a vastly in- creased yield. They realized it was a duty they owed to humanity to produce all that they could on the land, not only this year but next as well. In addition to the pntriotic aspect, they are aware that the more they produce the greater will be .their own return In dollars and cents. In many districts wheat seeding WOR completed by the 1st of May, after which date oats and barley on larger acreages than 11S1thl were planted. As has been said, favorable weather conditions made possible excellent seed -bed preparation, and the seed has gone into the ground in unusually good shape. The available moisture in the soil has been added to by rains, which have not been so heavy, however, as to interfere long with the work in the fields. The grain is germinating read- ily, and on many fields the young green blades of the cereal are already shove- ing. An optimistic feeling prevalk among farmers that Western Canada will reap a record harvest. If the season from now on is as favorable as it has begun, these hopes should be realized. Mr. J. D. McGregor of the Federal Food Board, who is also an old and success- ful farmer In Western Canada, assert- cd . a few days ago at Calgary that crop conditions throughout the Prairie Provinces were excellent. \Speaking generally.\ he said, \the crops have never gone into the ground in better shape than this year. and with an -- even break of luck as far as the weath- er is concerned, there should be an enormous crop.\ His present duties in -connection with the Food Control Board, taking him in all parts of the West, Mr. McGregor has exceptional opportunities of observing ,conditions all over the country.—Advertisement.

WEEDS SOMETIMES US EFUL IN ADDING ORGANIC MATTER A ND PREVENT EROSION Land Turned Out to \Rest\ and Grown Up to Sassafras Bushes and Weeds. (Prepared by the [Tinted States Department of Agriculture.) Weeds are not always useless. Sometimes they are the principal means by which organic matter is restored to the soil, and, generally speaking, a soil is productive In proportion to the quantity of organic nuttier It comatine. In ninny parts of tills country It Is customary to farm land until the crops are too poor to be profitable and then \turn it out to rest.\ This merely means that weeds are permitted to grow on it for several years; after that the soil will ,be more productive. Weeds are also useful at times In preventing soil erosion, especially during the winter months. Weeds are further useful In collecting and holding the nitrates and other soluble salts during periods when crops are not being grown, thus preventing these valuable nutrients from being wuslied out of the soil. Ordinarily, however, all these benefits may be realized through proper rotations, in which case It is a serious mistake to it weeds grow. HELP PRODUCE FOOD TO FEED SOLDIERS Town Man Qualified for Farm Work Should Offer Servicee. Many Communities Throughout United States Must Depend on Volun- teers for Heavy Seasonal Needs.—it Is War Job. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) If you are a town man qualified. for farm work In your county during the rush periods of planting, cultivation and harvest, and If you hesitate to offer for such service because it will be inconvenient and difficult and be- cause you will earn less money for that short period of farm work than you would have earned In town dur- ing the same time—if this IR the case you hnve failed to grasp either the seriousness of the present peril to civilization or the importance of the personal responsibility resting upon you, and every individual. If you are a farmer in need of ex- tra help, without which pm food pro- duction will be diminished, and if you are reluctant to use emergency town volunteers you also have not seen the peril—have not heard the call that has Inspired other men to give their lives. The higher wage Inducements of city Industries and plants producingwar materials have drawn many workers from the farms during the last year or two. As a Consequence most com- munities all over the United States must -depend upon local emergency supplies of farm labor for their heavy seasonal needs. Plans have already been put into effect in a great many sections whereby sufficient town vol- unteers have been secured to supply the need of the adjacent farm terri- tory during the busy periods. Of course this- Is hard work. Of course, In most cases, it Means some financial sacrifice upon the part of the town man, and some annoyance to the farmer who would prefer permanent, skilled help. But you are called to that service! It Is just a situation that must be met. Suppose soldiers hesitated to do things that are hard and difficult and annoying! Suppose men wouldn't go Into the army unless they profited financiallY! If Ameri- can men had taken that attitude Ger- ninny would already have crushed the defenders of civilization, and you would now he concerned about the safety of your wife and children—not your convenience and your money! The last two would certainly he taken from you with a Hun victory—and the Hun will win if soldiers ever hesitate, as some civilians hove hesitated to do the difficult, the unpleasant, the flnan- cielly unprofitable thing! It is your war job to work onsfnrme In your county, when and where your services are needed to produce and harvest food crnpe, war -winning crops. It is the farmer's war job to use such help to the utmost advantage. Our soldiers are gloriously doing their war Job over there. The most you can do is infinitely small, by comparison with what they do. Do farms in your county need help? Then think of the boys from sena town, going over the top nailer shell fire•today—and go to Work to help feed them! Best Soh For Soy Beans. Any land that will grow corn will grow soy beans. It IR often recom- mended that these two crops be grown and hoggee down together. LOCAL LIME SUPPLY USEFUL Necessary Food Furnished for Plants and Is Great Aid In Speeding Up Many Crops. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) While lime Is not usually listed among the emumervial fertilizers, it furnishes a necessary food for plants and when properly used Is a great rad in speeding up the production of many crops. Its greutest value le for correcting acidity of the soil under which condition many plants will not thrive. It alms improves the soil's physical condition and influences fa- vorably the decomposition of organic matter. In some CLISHIL it inlay make available to some extent soluble fermi.; of potash and other minerals. It Is particulnrly valuable If there Is a good supply of organic matter in the soil. Spring Is it good time to apply Hine, particuhaly the hydrated form and specialists of the department of agri- culture are urging that local limestone deposits be utilized In every possible way. This is already being done in many places but no deubt the practice could be widely extended. However, it involves, in the of grinding, the purchase and delivery of grinding ma- chinery, which may be difficult to ac- complish, and in the case of loeal burning it means the purchase and de- livery of fuel unless there is local fuel available. Wherever fuel, either wood or coal, Is available, however, togeth- er' with a local supply of limestone, every effort should be put forth to nudie use of this limestone In the pres- ent emergency. ANIMAL -PROOF SHEEP FENCE Department of Agriculture Gives Plan for Barrier to Keep Out Dogs and Coyotes, Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) A fence constructed In such a way as to bar dogs and coyotes from territory in which sheep are pasturing has been designed and put to use by the forest serVice of the United States department of agriculture. Specifications for the dog -proof fence fellow: Posts 1% feet in length, set 2 1 / 2 feet In the ground and 16 feet apart; barbed wire stretched flat to the stirt- ace of the ground; 3 inches higher a 16 -Inch woven -wire fence Miring a 4 - inch triansedar mesh; 5 inches higher a barbed wire; 0 Indies higher a sec- ond barbed wire; 7 inches above this a third barbed wire. Total height, 57 inches. It is essential that the bottom barbed wire be stretched tint on the surface of the ground at all points. This is ac- complished by grading the ground be- fore the fence Is builtSand by filling in the small holes afterwards, BANKS HELP BUY TRACTORS Notes Given for Farm Machines Will Be Treated Same as Other Agricultural Paper. (Prepared by the United states Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Federal reserve banks are to re- diecoutit notes secured by farm trac- tors. Instructions hnve been issued by the federal reserve board to all federal reserve banks authorizing them to rediscount tractor paper pre- sented by tiny member bank, provid- ed it tuts nutturIty not exceeding'elx months and the tractors are pur- chased for agricultural purposes. Title action of the federal reserve board memo; that notes given for farm tfactors will be treated in the same manner tts other agricultural paper, thus mnking it easier for farmers to obtain tractors where needed. FARM ANIMALS TO PREVENT WORMS IN PIGS Especially Important to Protect Newly Farrowed Animals From Intestinal Parasites. (Prepared be the United states Dentin - meat of Agriculture.) Recent investigations have shown the importance of taking special pre- caupons with newly farrowed pigs to prevent their becoming infested with intestinal worms. Intestinal worms aro very common parasites among pigs, and cause a great deal of damage to the young animals. It appears that as they hec,nne older pigs becoms less susceptible to infection. A CCOMngly, If pigs can he protected from infection during the first few weeks of life they are less likely aftermath; to he serious- ly iklurcd by intestInnl worms of the common variety. The norms are spread by means of eggs of microscopic size which are de- posited by the ndult werms In the in- testines of infested pigs, anti which puss out of the body In the feces. After a period of ineubation which varies uc- One Way of Preventing Worms in Pigs I. to Provide Good, Sanitary Quar- ters. cording to temperature and other con- ditiotts, the egg contains a tiny embry. onie worm, and is ready for further de- velopment is -lien swallowed by a pig. The eggs are highly resisatnt and may retain their vitality for years. It is therefore evident that in course of time the ground in yards where pigs tire kept may become very heavily laden with the eggs of the worms. When the eggs are swallowed the young worms hutch out, hut do not Im- mediately settle down in the Intestine. They get into the eIrcuintion and are curried to various organs of the body, includtpg the lungs. Meanwhile they Increase somewhat in size and undergo certain changes of structure. In a week or tell days they can be found In Infected pigs examined post-mortem crawling tip the windpipe into the niouth and down the esophagus into the stomach. In the normal course of events they finally reach the intestine Reran, where they theielop slowly to maturity. Smell pigs if their lungs are invaded by large numbers of the young Intestinal worms are liable to develop pneumonia, which may lin 'VP Wel. It Is not improbable that many cnses of lung trouble among young plgs are caused by these worms. The question of preventing losses among young pigs by worms. Judging from the results of the investigations carried on in the zoological division of the bureau of animal industry, largely resolves itself into it quession of pro- viding good sanitary conditions for the pigs, particularly during the stickling period. The sows before farrowing should be kept in clean, dry pimps away from inuti wallows, and until the pigs are several weeks old they should be kept preferably In buildings and pens with floors which can he easily cleaned and which arekept clean. MENACE TO SHEEP INDUSTRY Dogs and Coyotes Constitute One of Greatest Drawbacks to Wool and Mutton Business. (Prepared by the United- States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Wool and mutton are commanding higher prices than ever before and sup- plies of wool are being depleted so rap- idly that It will take :tome time after pence is declared to restock the wool trade, says Bulletin 935, \The Sheep - Killing Dog,\ issued by the United States department of ngrIculture. The United States Is experiencing the greatest shortage of inutton and wool In the history of the country. It Is the duty of the Amerienn farmer to increase the supply. The sheep -killing dog constitute.; one of the greatest 111H11111 . 1.8 to the success of the sheep industry. The dog not only kills sheep hilt keeps out of the sheep business men who are otherwise inclined to go into It. The most effective method of dealing with the sheep -killing dog is through efficient legislation. Notable progress has heen mode by several states in enacting good dog laws, and others are expected to take similar action. No law, however well worded it may be, can be effective unless it is ens forced and has the moral eupport of the people who are affected by it. Uniform state dog laws are desire - Feed Is Assured.
