ADULTERATED REDTOP SEED
SOLD BY 32 FIRMS IN 1926
In carrying out the provisions of
the act of Congress which provides
for the purchases of samples of
seeds of grasses, clover or alfalfa, !
and lawn-grass seeds in the open!
market for purity analysis, the.
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-

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. Poultry experts of the United
States Department of Agriculture
suggest that farmers who are un-
able to keep approximately 200
hens limit their flocks to a size of
large enough to supply the table
| with eggs and poultry meat

MAKING FLOWERS BLOOM
OUT OF SEASON AS A FAD

by increasing yields per acre.
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.

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.

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-

Same way it has been found that

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-
