OUR DEPARTMENT |
OF AGRICULTURE
A WEEKLY LETTER PREPARED
FOR THE BULLETIN BY THE
STATE DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICUL TURE
What the Department of Agriculture
is doing
How Farmers Have Planted Wheat
A representative of the Office of |
Farm Management, Department of |
Agriculture, recently returned from |
an inspection of the typical parts of |
the winter-wheat area of the United
States, reports that in Kansas, Okla-
homa, and Colorado the soil generally
was in excellent condition for the
fall sowing, and farmers were doing
their best to get in as much land as
they could prepare. To offset short-
age of labor, due to the draft, far-
mers were hurrying the sowing of
wheat before their boys had to leave.
In some of the dryer portions of
Kansas, .where there had been two
successive failures of wheat, farmers |
were finding it hard to put in a full |
crop on account of lack of seed. In|
these places, however, the difficulty |
was being largely overcome by Gov-
ernment loans for buying seed. In|
the winter-wheat section of Oregon,
Washington, and Idaho the summer
had been exceptionally dry, and up
to October 5 there had not been suf-
ficient rains in many places to make
it safe to sow wheat. Some farmers,
however, were taking a greater risk
than usual by sowing the wheat,
which ought to be in the ground at
about this time.
“Every Patch a War-Savings Stamp”
To arouse interest in clothing con-
servation, an Oregon home demon-
stration agent held an exhibit of re-
modeled garments, which had been
loaned to her by the school of home
economics of the agricultural college. |
Following this exhibit, |
the women |
called on her by phone for pointers
and suggestions and brought their
materials and problems to her office,
having overcome their hesitancy to
let their neighbors know they are
paching up their old clothes. Records
have been kept of the cost of re-
modeling the garments and war tex- |
tiles conserved. |
Entomologists Prepare for War
Service
Because of the possible need of a
large number of entomologists for |
service in the Army as entomological |
sanitarians, especially in connection
with the “cootie’” problem, a class in
the entomology of disease, hygiene,
and sanitation meets regularly in the
Bureau of Entomology of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture in Washington.
The proceedings of this class have
been mimeographed and sent thruout
the country to entomologists who
have enrolled. In this way knowledge
of the control of disease-carrying in-
sects has been greatly increased
among entomologists, making them
better equipped to render such ser-
vice as the War Department may call
for.
Raise Horses of Better Quality
Large numbers of undesirable,
mediocre horses are being turned on-
to the market at present in all parts
of the country in order to save feed,
according to reports to the United
States Department of Agriculture. As
a consequence the market is glutted
with commonplace animals of this de-
scription to the extent that the prices |
paid are unusually low. The depart-
ment urges farmers to raise horses of
better breeding and quality. The
supply of desirable-quality heavy
draft horses or animals suitable for
artillery or cavalry purposes is below
the demand, while the prices of such
animals are correspondingly high. In
view of both the domestic and foreign |
demand during and after the war for
quality horses, farmers should begin
now to stock up their barns with
horse flesh of the desirable type. Un-
der existing conditions feeding stuffs
for work animals are extremely high
in price. On this account it is im-
perative that the farmer should win-
ter only work stock of the useful,
most efficient, and valuable type. One
heavy draft horse will perform the
work of practically two undersized,
inferior plugs, while such an animal
can be fed at about the same cost for
maintenance as for one of the plugs.
When the farmer desires to sell a
heavy horse of quality and breeding
he can always locate a ready market,
whereas inferior animals ordinarily
can be disposed of only at a sacrifice.
How Dangerous Insects Are Watched
The extent to which the principal
crops of this country are attacked by
injurious insects is known almost
from day to day for the entire United
States by the Department of Agri-
culture’s Bureau of Entomology
through its “war emergency v entomol-
ogical intelligence service.” Co-
operative arrangements have been
made with the entomologists of the
State agricultural colleges and ex-
periment stations, teachers of ento-
mology in other colleges and uni-
versities, Forest Service field workers
county agents, extension service field
employees, and all other available ob-
servers by which undue increase of
any insect pest is immediately re-
ported to the bureau. In this way
knowledge of prospective outbreak is
centralized and then distributed to
bring about prompt and efficacious
treatment. The information thus
brought together is issued monthly to
the economic entomologists of the
country.
Collecting Forest Range Plants
More than 35,000 plant specimens, |
representing 4,800 species, have been |
collected on national forests and pur- |
chase areas by Forest Service officers
in connection with the extensive |
studies made of the distribution, na-
tural habits, and economic impor-
tance of the range flora. The data
obtained have direct application to
many phases of range management,
such as intensive range utilization,
especially with a view to minimum
interference with the requirements of
the important forage plants and the
utilization of each type at the time
and by the class of stock to which it
is best adapted. Use of these data is
also made in the detection, eradica-
tion, and fencing of poisonous plant
areas, in natural range reseeding, and
other range studies.
United States to Buy Beef for
Quality
At a conference attended by
Secretary Daniels of the Navy, Secre-
tary Houston of the Department of
Agriculture, Mr. Hoover of the Food !
Administration, and representatives |
of the Quartermaster General of the!
Army and of the Paymaster General !
of the Navy, a unanimous agreement
was reached that all future purchases |
of beef for our Army, Navy, ‘and |i
the allies shall be made on a basis of |
| squirrels and
[vice as to the exports of vegetable |
[to broom-corn production recently |
spectors at the purchasing markets.
The arrangements effected will
protect the fighting forces in the mat-
ter of quality of meats and at the
same time will bring about a better
balanced condition in the live-stock
industry. This course of action is in
accordance with sound principles of
production and conservation which
have been advocated by the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, the Food Ad-
[ ministration, and the other depart-
[ ments, with a view to an assurance o
An adequate supply of beef for the
future.
Many Rodents Killed in Montana
Rodent-control work in Montana
[during the past season has saved
$2,760,000 worth of farm crops at a
cost of $82,800, according to the re-
port of the Montana extension
specialist in rodent control. The
Bureau of Biological Survey, which
cooperates with the State agencies,
furnished trained le: adership and con-
tributed $12,000 from its emergency
appropriation toward the cost, and
Montana farmers paid the remaining
$70,800. Work was carried on in 25
counties, and 276 tons of poisoned
oats were prepared in accordance
with the Bureau of Biological Survey
formula. Great numbers of ground
prairie-dogs were
destroyed. The increasing demand for
the work, according to the report of
[the State specialist, has secured it
a prominent place on the programs
of work of the county agents and has
made easy the introduction of other
lines of agricultural improvement
work.
Sell Flowers and Vegetables for
French Wounded
During the summer months several
Virginia garden clubs have sold
flowers, fruits, and other produce,
and contributed their profits to the
American Fund for the French
Wounded. A hall in the local market
building was hired in one town and
the different members have alter-
nated in selling from it. A small curb
market was utilized in another place.
In each nearly all of the products
were donated, but sometimes half of
the price has been returned to the
donor and the rest kept for the fund.
The home demonstration agent has
had the planning and general over-
sight.
Exhibits Drawing Big Crowds
Reports from five circuits of State
fairs and other large expositions at
which the United States Government
exhibits are being shown tell of large
crowds and great interest in the dis-
plays, which are made up from ma-
terial contributed by the Departments
of War, Navy, Interior, Commerce,
and Agriculture, the Food Adminis- |
tration, and the Committee on Public
Information. The influenza epidemic
in recent weeks has interfered with
some itineraries, but, on the whole,
the exhibits are thought to have per-
formed effective war-time work by
awakening and directing interest in
governmental activities, civil as well
as military. F. Lamson-Scribner, of |
the Department of Agriculture, is
chairman of the Joint Committee on
Government Exhibits, which includes
representatives from all departments
cooperating.
Investigates Seed Exports
The seed-reporting service of the
Bureau of Markets frequently is
called upon to advice the War Trade
Board relative to the granting of li-|
censes for the export of vegetable
seeds. In order that this might re
done intelligently and expeditiously, |
it seemed desirable at this time to |
ascertain facts as to the kinds and |
total quantities of vegetable seeds for |
which export licenses are desired. |
These facts will be considered in con- |
nction with information as to the |
available supplies and probable con- |
sumption, and can be used as a basis
for advising the War Trade Board |
relative to granting export licenses. |
With this end in view an inquiry has |
been made by the seed-reporting ser-
seeds to Canada, our other allies, and
neutral countries.
Complete figures have not yet been |
compiled from this inquiry, but it
may be said that a large increase in
exports over 1917 is contemplated
this year by a number of concerns.
This increase amounts in certain
cases to five or six times the amount
exported in 1917.
Made-at-Home Labor-Saving Devices
In 11 communities of one county
in Oregon the women are making
homemade driers, homemade fireless
cookers, and homemade iceless re-
frigerators under the direction of the
home demonstration agent. In con-
nection with this project one woman
found that an investment of 50
cents in a dish drainer and a wire
dishcloth for pots and pans saved her
10 minutes of the time required to do
the dishes after each meal, or 30
minutes a day. In a year she figured
this time, if accumulated, would give
two weeks, of 12 hours a day, leisure.
Was the investment worth while?
Colored Church Buys Canner
Successful canning work has been
done in a colored community in Vir-
ginia the past summer through the |
foresight of its minister. Impressed |
by the home demonstration agent’s
talks on the value of canning the sur-
plus products of the garden, this up-
to-date leader of a colored church de-
cided to invest in a large hot-water
canner and 4,000 cans for a start.
His plan as it was carried out was
not to do commercial work but to
get the people of his church to save
enough for themselves this winter.
His daughter has had charge of it,
and the members of the congregation |
have brought their fruit and vege- |
tables to his house and canned there |
under supervision, saving money for |
themselves and canned goods for the |
soldiers.
Fireless Cookers That Are Safe
Recently the National Board of
Fire Underwriters issued a caution
against using wooden pails or tubs]
to make homemade fireless cookers.
To eliminate the danger of fires from
these valuable fuel savers, the De
partment of Agriculture advocates
using ground-up asbestos in place of
hay, paper, or wool for packing in|
them. Additional safety may be at-
tained by making the cooker from a|
tin can.
South to Raise More Broom Corn
Replies to an inquiry in reference |
sent out by the States Relations Ser- |
vice of the Department of Agricul-|
ture have been very encouraging. |
