Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers " Rusted Wheat Straw Is Valuable Failurq to Mature Because of Disease Leaves Much Nu- trient Value in Straw, Says North Dakota Expert \ BY H. L. BOLLEY (Botanist and State Seed Commis- sioner of North Dakota) | ROM time to time there /| have been in North Da- kota severe outbreaks of rust and scab of wheat. During these rust years the feeding value of the straw has come up for consideration many times. Some farmers feared that rusted or scab-infected straw might be detrimental to their stock. I am writing this news-note to call attention to the fact that the feeding value of rusted or blighted wheat, oat or barley straw is much higher thau the feeding value of straw which has not been affected by rust or blight and which matured its grain normally. If wheat matures normally in the field the full nutrient value in the straw finally accumulates in the seed; hence, when the straw is harvested it _ has comparatively low feeding value. However, if rust or scab or other blight has stopped the maturing of the ‘wheat, the nutrient value left in the straw is much higher than it would have been had the grain ripened without injury. All such straw will this year be saved for feed. ° The chemical department of this in- stitution and those of a number of Canadian provinces have several times tested this proposition and have re- ported a high feed value for badly rusted straw. Sometimes the nitrogen content runs as high as 7 to 9 per cent. The following letter and the answer I have given will perhaps make this more clear: Professor Bolley, Agricultural College, N. D. Dear Sir: Under separate cover I am sending you a sample of marquis wheat in the straw and want your opinion as to what I should do with it. The stand is good. In spots there seem to be considerable wheat and at others very little. The renter wanted to plow it under, but it was my opinion that there was too much straw for this. Also we would be plowing under wild oats. What effect would the straw have on cattle or sheep? I think I could ship in either and feed to advan- tage. ) : Some suggest burning, but I do not like the crop results after burning off. I believe there were circulars sent out in 1916 that rusted straw would not affect stock in feeding. I will appreciate any information and advice that you can give me and it will be a benefit to many others here, as we have talked it over considerably. One has one idea and one another. Some think there might be enough wheat to pay to take care of. We would appreciate advice as early as you can get it to us as we are now in harvest and it will be ap- preciated by a good many of us. This letter was answered as follows: Dear Sir: Rusted Wheat Straw. Referring to your sample of mar- quis wheat and letter of August 7, rusted straw properly cured to prevent molding will not injure cattle. Rusted wheat straw, such as that sent in, has high feeding value, much more feeding value than ordinary wheat straw. If you' do not deem it advisable to thresh the wheat, which it seems to me if there is a good stand might yet pay, you certainly should cut it for feed. In your region it is not advis- able to plow under large amounts of unrotted straw. It introduces wheat diseases into the soil in quantity. It also introduces a lot of material which does not rot sufficiently fast to allow good soil texture the coming year. Save your straw piles and feed them to stock. North Dakota Building Worker’s Home (Continued from page 3) vestment in security and return is not limited to residents of North Dakota. Without any direct advertising, funds are beginning to come into the Bank of North Dakota from depositors from outside the state attracted by the 5 per cent payments, plus abso- lute safety. The big building campaign is expected to open up in the spring. Organization of the local leagues takes time. The first league was formed in Bismarck, naturally enough, because here the people were more familiar with the law "and its advantages. It is pos- sible, however, that the Fargo league may finish organization in time to start operations on one or two houses this fall, while the first country league may do like- wise. The other members of the Bismarck league, aside from Mr. Adams, expect to build next spring, as the housing problem in the Capital City is especially acute. } Mr. Blakemore explained the steps to be taken by depositors, especially those who want to become members of a local league for the purpose of building a home: “Either remit direct to this asso- ciation, the Bank of North. Dakota, ' in Bismarck, or go to any local bank and make deposit of whatever sum of money you can spare from your sav- =ml'fl Fled $omt FREE| ings. Tell the bank you wish to open an account and deposit the money to the credit of ‘The Home Building as- sociation of North Dakota.’ “The bank will send you or give you a passbook, showing the date and amount of your deposit. Encourage every boy and girl to save and open a savings deposit with the home build- ing association. If you expect to use your deposits toward buying a home, designate your deposit as a ‘Home Buyers’ Aecount.’ ¥ “As soon as the home building as- sociation gets notice of your deposit it will acknowledge its receipt. At the same time it will send you a blank application for membership in such home buyers’ league (local organiza- tion) as either you may wish to form yourself, one already organized, or one about to be organized, as you may prefer. It will also send printed in- structions, with a list of those in your immediate locality who have opened a ‘Home Buying Account,’ have or- ganized or are organizing a local ‘home buyers’ league.’ “Before this association can author- ize, register and assign a number to any home buyers’ league, 10 or more depositors who have opened home buyers’ accounts must sign written applications. Each must give written consent to all the other members, all of which shall be filed and recorded in the office of the association. Also the association must be notified of the election and name of the member se- lected to act as secretary-treasurer of the home buyers’ league.” Minnesota is the fourteenth state to ratify woman suffrage. The measure passed by the legislature has bee signed by the governor. ¢ PAGE THIRTEEN ST ADVERTISEMENTS You Must Insist That the Tires You Buy Carry a Factory Guarantee Otherwise You Are Unprotected BataviaTires are guaranteed by the factory for 4,000 MILES C. 0.
