INFORMATION FOR
OUR FARMERS,
State Cron: in 7Sood Condition
With the exception of potatoes the
condition of the crops in Pennsyl-
vania during ‘the early part of |
August gave every indication of an-
other bountiful harvest. Reports
| reaching the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Agriculture from its hun- |
reds of erop correspondents in ev-|
erv township in the State show that
the wheat is producing well and that
{ oats will be one of the best crops in
| vears I'he weather has been con
| ductive of good corn growth and the
| largest acreage that has been planted
| in ‘the State will be harvested in the
| fall. Early conditions were not
favorable and the crop will not reach
record production.
The Bureau of Crop Statistics in
August report says: :
Weather conditions since
breaking up of winter have been ideal
ts
ground but the heads were large and
well filled. Reports say that the ker-
nels are large and the quality good.
The indications are at the present
time that the total yield will be 23,-
797,000 bushels.
The prospect for rye is estimated
at 95 per cent. compared with an
average. The average yield of rye
per acre in this state is 175 bushels.
On this basis the average yield per
acre this year will reach sixteen and
| five-eights bushels and the total yield
{ 4,445,000 bushels.
Outlook for oats is good and a
splendid crop promised in every sec-
tion of the state. It is estimated that
the average yield per acre will be 34
bushels and the total yield 38,384,800
bushels.
Drought has prevailed all over the
state during July and has injured the
corn. The corn area is estimated at
1,664,576 acres which is probably the
largest acreage ever planted to this
cereal. The condition is 87 per cent.
of an average crop which indicates a
yield of 34.6 bushels per acre and a
total production of 57,594,000
bushels. The total crop last year was
estimated at 65,260,885 bushels.
There has been an increase of five
percent. in the acreage of buckwheat.
The acreage is estimated at 331,135
acres. The condition on August 1
was 92 per cent. compared with an
average which indicates a yield of 18
bushels per acre and a total produc-
tion of#5,959,400 bushels.
The condition of potatoes on
August 1 is 80 per cent. which is a
decline of seventeen points during
the month of July. While the dry
weather has injured all the growing
crops its effect has been more marked
on the potatoes than any other crop.
Then, the blight, aphis and bugs too
have had their detrimental effect.
Eighty per cent. of an average crop
indicates 67 bushels per acre and a
total crop of 21,000,000 compared
with 30,000,000 last year.
Area planted to tobacco is esti-
mated at 41,140 acres which is ten
per cent. larger than last year. The
The present
yield will
condition is 96 per cent.
indications are that the
average 1,372 pounds per acre and
the total production 56,444,000
pounds. The crop last year was esti-
mated at 51,051,000 pounds.
The acreage of all erops have been
increased this year. Notwithstanding
the fact that help is scarce the far-
mers are patriotic and are doing their
best to increase the production of
food.
The average price of cherries per
quart was four cents higher than last
| year, raspberries six cents and black-
berries five cents.
| Milk Flow Falls Off
August is the hardest month of the

year to keep up the milk flow. The
succulent pasture is gone, flies are
bad, and with the excessive heat,
August marks the beginning of a milk
shortage in our big cities.
“The experienced farmer knows
it does not pay to let his cows fall
off in milk flow” says Dr. J. N.
Rosenberger, dairy expert of the
Pennsylania Department of Agricul-
ture. “Once the normal flow of milk
from a cow is reduced, it is difficult,
if indeed possible at all, when cooler
weather comes, to get the flow of
milk back to normal. Plenty of suc-
culent feed should be supplied at this
time. No better combination of for-
age crops for supplementing the
dried up pastures can be found than
sweet corn fodder and Soy beans.
These can be planted together in
rows not more than three fet apart.
Both crops stand the hot dry weather
as well as any crops and make the
most palatable feed we have ever fed.
As much as the cows will clean up
should be fed twice daily. On most
farms where a large number of cows
are kept, the summer silo will prove
more economical as a means of sup-
plementing the pasture.
“Protection from flies
provided where there is not plenty of
low brush in the pasture, under which
cattle can go for protection from flies
during the day. Some one of the
daily. No fly spray yet on the mar-
ket will be affective long after ap-
plied. Most of them, however, afford
sufficient protection to make it pay
well to use them. A spraygun
equipped with one of the new auto-
matic nozzles, worked by the fore
finger, enables the attendant to go
over a large herd of cattle in a very
few minutes. ;
“Most dairymen
practice turning
the cows to
pasture during the day
and keeping them in the yard at
night. Much better results can be
obtained by reversing this practice
Cattle roaming about the pasture in
the hot sun during the day would be
much better off in the shade and
turned to pasture at night when it is
cooler and flies not so bad.
“It is as much to the dairymen’s
interest to guard against the milk
shortage which takes place during the
month of August and lasts during the
dealer. Tt should be the business of |
every dairyman, more than any one
else, supplying milk to a market, to
see to it that his market is always
well supplied at all times of the year.
Of course, a surplus\is as much in the
way as a shortage is objectionable.
Insufficient milk in a market, causes
more than anything else, diminution
in consumption. When the house-
wife for some time is unable to buy
her usual amount of milk she learns
how to get along with less. Latter
on when milk is more plenty it is
hard to induce her to use it more
freely.
“The worst part of it all is, that
when supply falls off considerably
then the dealer is obliged to go%out
of the normal milk zone for a supply.
{ He often brings in a lower ph e of

Many Adulterated Poultry Feeds

poultry feeds by the Bureau of

pecially the last year poultry feeds
have reached such a high price that
many poultrymen have quit the busi-

ness and every effort by manufactur-
ers and dealers to impose on the pur-

strongely prosecuted. The violations
took place in the mixed feeds.

State handling any poultry
who have reason to suspect

of the
foods,
that they
are urged to send samples to the De-
partment of Agriculture at Harris-
burg for examination and in this
manner co-operate in ttempting to
prohibit the sale of adulterated
products. Feeds labeled to contain
“Miscellaneous field seeds and weed
seeds” is an indication that the law
is being violated and purchasers not-
ing this method of labeling should
communicate with the authorities as
soon as possible, as dealers handling
such feeds are violators of the Feed
Law.
Save The Ewe Lambs
The time is approaching when the
farmers begin to dispose of their
lambs. In this connection, Charles E
Patton, Secretary of Agriculture, ad-
vises and urges that the ewe lambs
be either kept and the flock in
creased or sold to neighbors as the
foundation of new flocks. - It is im
perative that the number of sheep be
increased to clothe our soldiers to

port of considerable damage done by |
Examinations of “Schumacher Lit
tle Chick Feed” manufactured by the
Quaker Oats Company of Chicago,
11l., showed the samples badly
adulterated with excessive amounts
of whole weed seeds, which are pro
hibited from being included in feeds
sold in Pennsylvania. In some cases
these foreign seeds made up nearly
one-fourth the weight of the package,
which at the present value of poultry
feeds is an excessive amount to pay
for weed seeds. Other cases ordered
included the following poultry foods
which were also adulterated with |
large amounts of whole weed seeds:
“Sucrene Chick Feed” manufactured
by the American Milling Company of
Peoria, Il1l., “Sugarine Chick Feed”
manufactured by the Sugarine Com
pany of Peoria, Ill., “Portage Chick
Feed” manufactured by Akron Feed
and Milling Company, Akron, Ohio,
and “Price Poultry Feed” manu- |
factured by Cairo Milling Company, |
Cairo, IL.
A sample of “Dairy Feed” put out
by the Lake Shore Elevator Com
pany, of Cleveland, Ohio, was found
to be greatly deficient in its contents
of protein and fat and to be adulter
ated with buckwheat hulls and cocoa
shell meal, the statement of com-
position not showing these ingredi
ents to be present, as required.
A few other cases include 1 n this
list were for the sale of “Badger
Stock Feed” Milwaukee, Wis., con
taining an excessive amount of oats |‘
hulls and the Sutherland Flour Mills
Co.’s. “Dairy Dairy Feed” deficient |
in protein and inferior in composi
tion, as well as “Palmo Mixed Feed”
manufactured by Newsome Feed and
Grain Company, Pittsburgh, Pa
which was found deficient in analysis
and compostition not fully stated.
A few firms manufacturing poultry |
foods have consistently refused to |
comply with the State requirements,
apparently believing that owing to
war conditions it was a good oppor-
tunity to get rid of large quantities
of weed seeds at the rate of from
$4.50 to $5.00 per 100 lbs. or $80 to
$100 per ton, the prices ch d for
the poultry foods found dulterated.
Pennsylvania users cannot afford to
pay any such prices for these in- |
ferior feeds and it is no more than
fair that where such unusual prices
are charged, only the best food pro-
ducts be supplied. The Department
of Agriculture is making a vigorous
campaign against such methods of
selling feeds and wherever gross
adulterations are found, prosecution
against the parties responsible will |
be immediately started. The dealers |
