Climate Soll, Seed, Tillage and Care of Rye—Rye a Money Crop. By C. P. Bull. [National Crop Improvement Service.] Some important factors in the grow- Ing of rye set forth in brief by C. P. Bull, Agricultural Experimental Sta- tion, University of Minnesota: Kinds of soil best adapted to grow- Ing rye: Any soil not depleted of its fertility, though it will do better on Impoverished land than any of our ce reals; sandy loam and loam or clay loams are best. . Climate best sulted to growing rye: Any spring wheat region will be found suited to rye. It will also grow well In winter wheat districts, but in the latitude of the 46 degree parallel will probably grow best rye. Methods of preparing the ground: Plowing (sub-surface packing if dry), rolling and disking if lumpy; harrow. Depth to plow for rye: Depends on the soil; 6 to 7 inches for sandy to slay solls, Preparing the seed bed: Depends ’n conditions of soil. Make it fine and irm, Best fertilizers for rye: Barnyard manure used with a good 4, 5, 6 or 1 rear rotation of crops. Disking for rye: Good crops of fall rye have been grown on cereal stubble (crop harvested) when the land was iisked and seed sown; not to be rec smmended but can be done. Belecting seed rye: Same as for wheat—with fanning mill and graders, Varleties best adapted to soil and slimate of various states: Native win- ter varieties for Minnesota and north: o climates; Minnesota No. 2 for Min: 2esota and morthern climates; spring :ye is not recommended. Amount of seed to sow to the acre: L3 bu. per acre. Best time for seeding: Sept. 1 tc Oct. bth; best about Sept. 15th. Where to get geed: In Minnesota ind the northwest get a seed stock of Minnesota No. 2 from Experimeni Station, University of, Minnesota. Farmers, should grow one variety. But practically speaking, there is but e variety commonly grown. Effect of freezing in winter anmd ipring: Winter rye is perfectly hardy. Best treatment for rye diseases: Smut does not bother rye. Ergot’is sad. TUse pure seed stock. Grade seed and rotate crops and use grading nill most vigorously and long. Insect enemies of rye—how to com- sat: Does not seem to be bothered to iny appreciable extent. How to take care of crop after har- rest: Shock; thresh at once.as soon 1s dry, or stack, It will not pay to itack 1f Tt can b8 threshed from shock. Rye as food for animals: A little 1eavy-laxative. Rye as human food: O. K. More Jf it should be used. People have a ‘alse idea of what is best for health ind fashion. o TR Rye as cover crop: A good ¢cover fTOP. " e Value of rye as green manure: One )t the best—the best not counting the egumes, Profits in tyeé growing compared to ther grains: A top notcher. Just as 300d as any when properly grown. Rye as a forage crop: Excellent— »ffers great opportunities as a green pasture both fall and spring, and will ifterward produce a profitable seed rop. FERTILIZER FOR THE RYE CROP? [National Crop Improvement Service.] Many farmers have much to learn about growing rye. This is shown by the large number of poor rye crops reported on every hand, and yet good crops of rye can be grown without much trouble and expense. The e:- sential thing is to use the right kind of fertilizér. Since an average crop of rye (say 30 bushels of grain to the acre) re- moves from the soi! in the straw and the grain 45 pounds of Potash and 26 pounds of Phosphoric Acid, it will be seen that Potash must be supplied to the rye crop if a full yield is to be expected. From an analysis of the rye plant it is evident that both the straw and the grain require a com- plete fertilizer and that when both are taken together the manural re- quirements of the crop is mainly fer Nitrogen and Potash. In addition to supplying actual plant food essential to growth and maturity, potash es- pecially useful in giving strength and stability to the straw and plumpness nd weight to the grain. RYE CTRAW. A Valuable Article of Commerce— Equal in Some Cases to Graln. [National Crop Improvement Service.] The ripe straw from which the grain has been thrashed is alse a valuable article of commerce, its valne per acre equalling in many instances the value of the grain. It is used ex- tensively for stuffing hore~ collars, for manufacturing into paper, for packing fruit trees and other nursery products, and as bedding for live ptock, horse trainers and exhibitors especially favoring it for this latter purpose. The straw for horse collars must receive special care and treat- ment to bring 2 high price, but 2 mar- ket of considerable extent could un- doubtedly be developed if the industry were properly managed. TIME TO SOW RYE. By J. E. Buck, I. H. C. SBervice Bureau. [Natlonal Crop Improvement Service.] Rye may be sown at any time, from August 20th to October 1st, deperding on the location and the purpose for which it 18 to be used. For fall pasture It should be sown between August 20th and September 10th, the earlier seeding being préferable. For grain snly, September 1st to 16th is regard- 2d as a more favorable time. Seldom should the crop be sown later than Beptember 20th, fcr any purpose. Public Schools. In antiquity the masses of the peo ple grew up in ignorance of things literary. Public education—the educa tion that exists for the masses of the people—began, practically, with John Calvin’s rule in Geneva, from which time popular education had steadily gained ground. The free school sys tem had its beginning in Great Brits ain, about the year 1780, with Robert Raikes and his Sunday school move ment. It was not until 1860, however, that the free public schools began ta get itself firmly rooted in the British Isles. In this country from the start the idea of universal education was championed by Jefferson and other leaders among us, and the idea has never ceased to be fundamental with us, as absolutely necessary to the prevention of the liberty on which the government is founded. Luminous Metal Discovered. For generations the peasants of Cornwall have handed down a legend that at night there may be seen a faintly luminous metal among the rocks brought from the mines of the county. A British scientist has proved that this story is by no means based on imagination. A specimen of the mineral autunite, which is also found in Wales, was sent to him from Portu- gal because of its shining character. He finds that it closely resembles ar~ tificlally prepared salts of uranium, and that its luminosity is due to spon- taneous radio-activity. The light it sheds is stronger than that of nitrate of uranium. Upon parting with its wa- ter of crystallization the metal loses its luminosity. COAVINGING TESTIMONY Given by Many Bemidji People. Experiences told by Bemidji peo- ple— Those who have neys— Who used Doan’s Kidney Pills— Who found the remedy effective—- Such statements prove merit. You might doubt an utter strang- er. e B e g e You must believe Bemidji people. Here’s Bemidji proof. Verify it. Read. Investigate. Be convinced. You’ll find why Bemidji folks be- lieve in Doan’s. s, Mrs. Henry Revor, 808 Bemidji Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “The public statement I gave in Octobef, 1910, about Doan’s Kidney Pills was true. The benefit they brought me has been permanent. I suffered from backache for weeks at a time and it seemed that I could get nothing that would give me relief. Finally I heard about Doan’s Kidney Pills and after taking the contents of two boxes I felt like a different person. You may continue to use my name as a refer- ence.” For sale by all dealers.
