GARLIC AND COCKLE
IN PENNA. WHEAT
One half of the wheat grown in|
Pennsylvania is shipped out of the
State, but to meet the consumption,
three times as much is imported as
is exported. Much of the wheat]
produced in this State is garlicky
and, as 90 per cent of the mills are
not equipped to mil garlicky wheat |
it must find a market elsewhere. |
Eighty per cent of the cars of Penn-
sylvania wheat on the Baltimore
market so far this year graded gar-
licky. The discount on garlicky
wheat ranges from 7 to 10 cents a|
bushel and the presence of only one
bublet in a sample of two quarts of
grain is all that is necessary to
permit it being graded as such.
More mills in Pennsylvania are
being equipped to remove cockle
from wheat but its presence affects
the grade. The discount ranges
from 3 cents on wheat containing
1 to 2 per cent of cockle to 11 cents
on that containing 3 to 5 per cent.
The presence of 5 per cent cockle
in flour reduces the volume of the
bread loaf one half, and gives it a
very dark color and a bad odor and
flavor. Farmers should exercise ev-
ery precaution in the selection of
seed wheat this fall te prevent the
contamination of next year’s crop,
for so doing may mean not only lar-
ger production but also a difference
of from 10 to 12 cents in the price
they receive. Seed wheat can and
should be absolutely free from all
other seeds. The germinatifn test

KEENER COMPETITION
AHEAD FOR POULTRYMEN
must pre-
Poultrymen in Penna.
pare to meet keener competition
from western egg producers. The
Federal-State shipping point in-
spection and the Federal Standard
Egg Grades have been adopted in
several of the western states which
ship eggs regularly to Pennsylvania
markets and New York City. This
is resulting in a more uniform
quality and increasing market pop-
ularity for western eggs.
Pennsylvania flock owners must
take the same steps if they expect
to meet this competition, State
marketing specialists assert. Many
eggs are now sold on the New York
and Philadelphia markets by con-
tracts specifying the Federal Stan-
dard grades. As a result the com-
petition which is growing stronger
each year favors the western pro-
ducer. Pennsylvania producers
meet the Federal specifications, else
they will be handicapped in the
markets and be obliged to take a
lower price for a large portion of
the 80,000,000 dozen eggs they pro-
duce annually.
The Bureau of
Department of
Markets, State
Agriculture, is at-
tempting to interest poultrymen
throughout the State in the adop-
tion of the Federal Standard grades
for eggs. Personal instruction in
grading is available wherever the
demand is sufficient to warrant it.
Circulars defining the Federal
Grades are also being distributed
to all interested parties. As soon
as the demand warrants, inspection
of eggs at shipping points will no
doubt become available throughout

FARM PRICE INDEX
ON DOWNWARD TREND

The general level of prices for
farm products declined 1382 per
cent of the pre-war level by August
15, continuing the drop which car-
ried it from 139 in June to 135 in
July, according to the monthly price
index of the Department of Agri-
culture. This is 20 points or about
13 per cent lower than in August
last year. This index of 132 is the
lowest reached in nearly two years.
Sma’l price gains in cotton ‘and
grains were more than offset by de-
clines in the meat animal and fruit
and vegetable groups. Farm prices
of corn advanced about 11 perv cent
J from July 15 to August 15 while
the price of hogs dropped about
eight points, With July 15 farm
prices, the price of 100 pounds of
hog was equivalent to the price of
nearly 18 bushels of corn, while
August 15 this ratio was reduced to
less than 15 bushels which is the
lowest since November 1925. The
farm price of rye increased seven
per cent and the price of potatoes
drapped nearly twenty per cent.
Of the more important farm
products for which prices have been
determined, only five are 159 per
cent of the price received by-farm-
ers during the pre-war period of
1909 to 1914, or equivalent to the
‘evel of wholesale prices of non-
agricultural products, which was
159 per cent of the pre-war level of
July. The five-year period, 1909-
1914, is used as the base of 100 for
the index of prices of agricultural

products.

TREATMENT FOR
SEED WHEAT - ADVISED
Reports to the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Agriculture indicate
that there has been an unusual
amount of bunt, or stinking smut,
this" year in wheat fields in southern
sections of the State. In the last
three years the number of cars
Lancaster County wheat which
graded smutty at the terminal mar-
kets increased from 6 te 20 per
cent.
Farmers who produce smut in-
fected wheat suffer a double loss—
in both production and price. Dock-
age on account of smut, the minim-
um of which is 6 cents, may run as
high as 12 cents per bushel. The
presence of smut necessitates the
washing and scouring or some oth-
er treatment of wheat before the
grain can be made into a good
grade for flour. Local mills not
lequipped for treating smutty wheat
will not purchase it, for bread made
from the flour is dark and has a
{ pungent odor.
In contrast with loose smut,
| which appears conspicuously in the
{ heads just before ripening, bunt or
| stinking smut, is. not noticeably
{present until threshing time when
short fat kernels filled with a brown
powder with an - offensive odor are
found. These kerne's are readily
broken in threshing and the powder
which is the spores of the organ-
ism causing the disease, is scattered
among the healthy grains. Treat-
ment for the control of stinking
!smut is so simple that no farmer
can afford not to apply it to his
seed wheat.
An application of copper carbon-
ate dust is perhaps the cheapest and
easiest method of treatment. Be-
| sides, there is no danger of impar-
ing the germinating quality of the
wheat and the work may be done at
leisure time. The wheat and cop-
per carbonate at the rate of 2 to 3
ounces of dust to each bushel of
grain are put into a barre. or churn
and, after thoroughly mixing by
shaking. rolling or turning until ev-
cry kernel is coated with dust, the
seed is ready to be sown or it can
be kept in bags until needed.
Also, treatments with merecury-
chloro-pheno’ or formaldehyde are
efficient for the control of the dis-
ease. The so called hot water meth-
od, which may be used but is not
recommended for stinking smut, is
the only way to free seed from
loose or field smut. Circulars de-
seribing stinking smut and the hot
water method of treatment may be
had from the Bureau of Pant in-
dustry, Harrisburg, or from the
Pennsylvania State College, Pa.
SPOILED CANNED
FOODS RANGEROLS

|
|
|
|

Foods, especialy fish and meats,
in cans which are rusty, have an old
appearance or the ends bulged, or
leak: slightly, are unfit for consump-
tion and even dangerous to health.
The modern process of canning is
uch that, as long as high grade
products are used, freedom from
spoilage is assured, but foods that
have been spoiled or decomposed
prior to canning will not keep.
At this season of the year great
of food in concentrated
form are bought by tourists and
picnickers. Purchasers should re-
fuse to accept tins not in first class
condition and jobbers should refuse
not only to sell but a'so to receive
shipments showing any evidence of
spoilage, In general, canners and
retailers are cooperating in the
work for the protection of the pub-
lic health but this fact ought ont to
excuse any person from exercising
care in the purchase and use of can-
ned foods, especially during the
warm weather when danger from
improper handling and storing is us-
ua.ly great.
