PRACTICAL _ FARMING. Sup’t McGuire of Northeast Experimeng Station Gives Some Practical Hints on Small Grains in Builetin No. 40. The small grains, wheat, oats, bar- ley and rye have been grown success- fully at the northeast experiment station for the past six years. The yield of the different grains and quality, varied according to the sea- son, the condition of the soil on which they were sown and the variety of seed used. Yield: Wheat has given an average Its high- est yield was 28 bushels and its lowest. 8 bushels. Oats has given an average yield of 39 bushels per acre. Its high- est yield was 78 bushels, its lowest 20. These figures as to the highest and lowest yieids are not the average for the whole crop fer the yer, but that of individual fields and varieties. Bariey and winter rye has given an average yield of about 24 bushels per acre. * Quality: The best variety of wheat goes Nu. 1 hard. So far wheat has. been practically free from ailments that commonly effect its quality in wheat growing districts. Even this year the rust had no noticeable effect. on the wheat. Oats as a general thing seems to be of better quality than farther south. The kernels fill out well and the whole plant is strong and vigorous. Our best oats this past year yielded 73 bushels per acre, the straw from the same going 2 tons per acre. Although the ground upon which this oats grew was rich in fertility there was no lodging. Quality was pronounced throughout the whole ~ plant. Rust was quite bad in the oat. crop this past year, but came on rather late in the season and did mot seem to be very injurous. Barley and winter rye have always been of stand- ard quality, Varieties. Bluestem has proven to be the best variety of wheat for this section, out of 21 varieties tested. | Its vield has been 2 bushels more per acre than lifeaud considerable greater ip mauy of the ether varieties. Macaroni wheat is less productive than blue stem in this section. Some very good work in testing varieties of oats was dove by Mr. Chapman, for- mer superintendent. Verieties were gotten from Europe, Canada and various part of the United States. All together 34 varieties were used covering a period of four years. Irom this lou seven varieties were found of superior quality, uamely Improved Ligowa, Lincoln, Early Gothland, Early Swedish, White Russian, Arch angle and White Wonder. Of these Improved Ligowa was best, and for tbe past three years this variety has been used for field oats on the experi ment farm, giving very satisfactory results. This oats may be secured fur seed from the Northeast’ Experi ment Farm, but only in 2$ bushel lots, the object being to distribute the seed as widely as possible. Of 22 varieties of barley tested the follow- j ing three were found best. Mansbury, Champion of Vermont and Houstons Golden Queen. Of these Mansbury has been used for field barley, ‘The yield this past year was 30 bushels per acre. Uses: There is but little demand for wheat on the market in north- eastern Minnesota at the preseot time. Till we have local tiour mills and elevators the accrage must necessarily be small, its use being principaily for chicken feed. Oats is by all means the Letter crop to gruw The Iinmbering industry affords a good local market, and aside from this oats Is always a profitable crop for farm fced, especially for dairy cows. Not only the grain but also the straw is valuable feed. Barley lik« wheat has little market. Lts growth sbouild be for feed, especially for logs. There is little neccessity for growing rye except for carly spring pasture. Winter rye dues very well. Our crop this past year yielded 20 busheis per acre, after being pastured for a wonth in the spring by sheep. One advantage of rye is that it will produce a crop on soil low in fertility. It is no relief however. Only a last resort on the way to failure for the farmer who allows his fields to become impover- ished. Next week we will take up the sub- ject of meadows. bay and pasture.
