United States Department of Agri- culture in 1926 obtained 441 mail| samples of redtop seed and 118 lots purchased in bulk. These samples were examined in the seed laboratory of the Bureau of Plant Industry. Seed obtained from 32 firms was found to be ad- ulterated or misbranded. In all cases timothy seed was the principal adulterant found. There was a wide range in the degree of adulteration. A number of samples contained as little as 22 per cent redtop, although most of them averaged considerably higher. One sample in particular contained less than 1 per cent redtop, 86 per cent timothy, and the balance other seeds, dirt and chaff. The Bureau of Plant Industry will continue to examine and report promptly as to the presence of ad- ulterants and dodder in any sample of seed submitted for that purpose. According to the location of the sender, these samples may be sub- mitted to the seed laboratory at Washington, D. C., or to any of thg following: labbrataries cooperating with the department: Cooperative Seed Laboratory, California State Department of Agriculture, Sacra- mento, Calif., Cooperative Seed Laboratory, Opregbn ' Agricultural College, Corvallis, Oreg.; Coopera~ tive Seed Laboratory, Purdue Uni- versity Agricultural Experiment Station, La Fayette, Ind.; Coopera- tive Seed Laboratory, Missouri Agri- cultural Experiment Station, Col- umbia, Mo. ———- Eee SIZE OF FLOCK IMPORTANT IN FARM POULTRY RAISING In poultry raising on the farm it may be poor management to raise a hit-and-miss number of fowls, such a number for instance, ar may happen to hatch from hidden nests.

Education Week This week is Education Week. It is being observed in the local schools by having men from the town as speakers. On Monday morning a very interesting address was giv en by Dr. Snyder on the “History of Medicine.” On Tuesday, Dr. W. entialities in crops under the meth- ods proved best by time and trial, and partly because the abundance and cheapness of land is newly de- veloped in regions not favorable to intensive methods of utilization or careful husbanding of soil re vurces.

United States Department of Agri- culture. He supports this with facts that fly in the - face of the common belief that crop yields per acre have been declining as the virgin fertility of the fields has been exhausted. Department statistics show that in 40 years the combined acreage of corn, wheat, oats, and potatoes has been expanded about 52 per cent. The total production of these crops has increased 77 per cent. This means that a third of the increased production is the result of a better vield per acre. Again contrary to common belief he finds the figures show that “most of the increase in acre yields have occurred in the older farming regions east of the Mississippi River, thus disproving another er- roneous impression that farms in the older areas of the United States in general have become worn out.” In the case of corn, Virginia, Mary- land, the New England States, Iowa and Minnesota are named as States recording grains from. 5 ty 14 bichels in the average vields per acre. Mr. Weitz concludes. that in the course of time, as the farming communities become accustomed to the possibilities of their fields, de- velop suitable strains of plants, learn profitable use of fertilizers | and wise crop rotation, that acre yields in the humid northeastern portion of the United States may approach the present standards in northwestern Europe. In dryer sec- tions of the United States the acre yields will be limited necessarily by the moisture available to the Crops. ——— Eee eee State Planting Trees In line with the beautifying of the Pennsylvania State Highways, the State Highway Department has a gang of men engaged in planting trees along the Lincoln Highway, between Lancaster and Columbia. The trees are being planted on the north side of the Highway, 75 feet apart. tet Aisin. ens Many people prefer whipped cream for cooked breakfast foods. such as oatmeal or on whole wheat This, substantially, is the con- clusion by B. O. Weitz, of the] Bureau of Agricultural Economics, By tinkering with | that reaches certain been possible to force them to bloom out of season and earlier or later than their usual period. Horti- culturists of the United States De- partment of Agriculture have prov- ed this in several interesting experi- ments, and similar experiments are recommended to amateur flower fanciers as an enjoyable hobby. From experiments it appears that such plants as dahlias, African marigolds, poinsettias, Klondyke cosmos, and late varieties of chry- santhemums do not blossom merely because they have reached the pro- per stage of maturity or because they have grown for a natural num- ber of days. Instead of this, and within reasonable limitations, they seem to produce flowers because the daylight period of autumn has appropriate number of hours, With this to guide him, the ex- nerimenter ean fool the flowers into blooming at unusual seasons, This can be done bv covering the plants an hour or more before sunset each day or bv taking potted plants for an hour or two at the end of the dav. This produces sunlight con- the sunlight plants it has ditions approximately autumn, with a shorter duration of light, and the the plants bloom earlier, In the Same way it has been found that lengthening the short days of autumn and winteyp with electric licht of proper intensity nrevents these plants from flowering at their normal season. On the other hand, some plants, such ‘as beets. spinach, and radish require long days for flowerine, and hence may be forced to use the electric light to lengthen the day. The horticultur- ists are still seeking the “why” of this behavior, which varies in differ- ent varieties of plant, but it has determined that their growth and and blossoming behavior depends unon in large measure on the length of the day lighted by the sun. Tt is even possible to force differ- ent parts of some plants to blossom at different seasons by covering one part, for several hours a day, leav- ‘ne other branches and buds to en- ‘ov the natural exnosure, However, there are limits, Covering the flow- ers for a time in the middle of the dav has no such effect. The day has cereals. — National Dairy Council. oN to be shortened either in the morn- ng or in the evening. A y’ High Congtable—Fred Schneidefr -
