BEST RESULTS ATTAINED WITH POTATOES BY DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH-GRADE SEED : j I • I j ! ' j ; ' ■ I i • Sx' [♦ mmM as 'M ■ m mmm m \ ' *i 11 m Potatoes for Seed Should Be Selected From Hills Containing Tubers of Uni form Shape and Size. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) If the best results are to be attained in potato production, greater care must be given to the development of high grade seed potatoes than is the present practice. Wherever the climatic and soil conditions are such as to make it possible to produce a good quality of seed potatoes, each grower should have his own seed plat. In the selection of seed potatoes it should lie borne in mind that the hill rather than the indi vidual tuber is the unit. The method which is most certain to lead to im provement is that of hill selection ^ There are various ways of procedure in the practice of hill selection, but the one most likely to give the best re sults is that of marking the best plants in the field or the seed plat before the foliage begins to ripen and digging them by linnd just before harvesting the main crop. Examine Each Plant. The product of each individual plant should lie examined separately, and only those that show uniformity in size and shape and that have produced a maximum number of merchantable tubers should be selected. Each select ed hill should he given a number, sacked separately, and a careful rec ord made. The following season the tubers of each selection should be planted separately in order that their behavior may lie noted throughout the growing season. It will be found that many of them possess no superiority over the general run o? field stock, but a few will be decidedly good. A large number of these progeny can be marked for discard before they are harvested. At harvesting time the progeny of each promising selection VELVET BEANS GOOD FOR MARKET STEERS Compare Favorably With Cotton seed Meal for Fattening. of the She Results Given of Experiments Con ducted at Government Farm More Profitable to Feed Soaked Beans Than to Grind Them. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) but flat Corn silage and velvet beans are 6aid to form a satisfactory ration for fattening steers for market. This is the result of feeding experiments just completed at the United States depnrt ; men t 0 f agriculture furm at Beltsville,* j Md. j Other points brought out by the tests Indicate: that velvet beans compare favorably with cottonseed meal, pro ducing profitable gains when the beans are the sole concentrate of the ration ; that it is more profitable to feed 6onked beans than it is to grind them ; j and that more beans will be eaten if j soaked before they are fed than if they ! are fed dry. 1 j The objects of the experiment were I 1 to compare velvet beans In three forms i —whole, ground, nnd soaked—with cot tonseed meal as supplements to corn 6ilage and dry roughages, and to de termine the most economical forms in which velvet beans might be fed in fat tening cattle for market. Incidentally It was hoped that the tests wonld show possiliilities of grain conservation in the production of beef as a wartime so you measure. The cattle used in the tests were 40 good two-year-old steers in which short-horn blood predominated. They bought last February In the East ex to go were St. Louis market, where they were se lected out of shipments from Illinois and Missouri, and were in fair stocker condition when placed on the experi mental feeding rations, divided into four lots of ten steers each, the lots selected so that they would be as nearly equal as possible in weight, quality and condition. They were fed for 112 days. The average dally ration consumed by lot I was: 4.39 pounds of cotton seed meal, 33.72 pounds of com silage, and 4.20 pounds of dry roughage. This lot made an average daily gain of 2.30 pounds, at a cost of about 12 cents a I pound, or $11.97 a hundred. < I Lot II consumed an average dally 1 ration of 7.59 pounds of dry, whole "lo- j velvet beailS, 26.85 pounds Of Corn j silage, and 4.15 pounds of dry rougli | nj r C This lot made an average daily , gain of 1.73 pounds a head, at a cost and , a j, ou t 14 cents a pound, or $14.12 a i hundred.

If it is possible to reduce these to one or two, it Is de sirable to do so. Further progress along this line consists in increasing the progeny of the selection or selec tions as rapidly as possible. At the end of the third season a sufficient quantity should be available to plant the field crop. It is desirable to main tain a seed plat each year and to con tinue the process of hill selection and j the development of pure strains. In order to practice potato selection in telligentiy it is necessary to have a true conception of the type of the variety or varieties being used. Immature Seed. Relatively few growers in the United States really maintain a seed plat, and still fewer practice planting the seed plat at a considerably later date j than the main crop in order to secure j small to medium-sized immature tu- , hers, as is the custom with many Eng- | lisli and Scotch seedsmen. In planting , the seed plat designed for the pro duction of seed for the main crop the following season, it is desirable to plant two or three-ounce whole tubers, j The use of whole tubers insures a per- i it of of in ^ in be be feet stand and a minimum percentage of diseased plants. At the same time, as a result of late planting and the heavy set produced by whole seed, the tubers do not attain a large size and are thus ideal for seed purposes. The date of planting the seed plat should lie governed by the locality in which the potatoes are to be grown. In gen eral, it might be said that the seed plat should he planted as late as it is possible to insure a good tuber devel opment liefere the plants are killed by the frost in the autumn. ; ration of 9.62 pounds of soaked, whole velvet beans, 23.40 pounds of com silage, nnd 3.72 pounds of dry rough age. This lot made an average daily gain of 1.99 pounds a head, at a cost of about 13 cents a pound, or $13.19 a hundred. The dry roughage was the same for all lots and consisted of corn stover for the first 28-day period, and wheat straw for the last three 28-day periods. The feeds were at current standard prices and the charge against each kind Included the actual cost of lay ing it down at the farm. The examination of the carcasses in the cooler at Baltimore showed that lots I and IV were nearly alike as to quality. However, meat experts there were of the opinion that if any differ ence existed it was in favor of the carcasses in lot IV. Lot II was better than lot III, because of the greater covering of fat. The average dressed weights, according to the Baltimore basis, gave the following percentages of dressed to live weights : Lot I, 54.16; lot II, 54.87; lot III, 54.01; lot IV, 55.77. The steers were sold on the farm by farm weights at 2% cents pound more than they cost in East St. Louis. for is ; ; if a PREVENT ALL GRAIN SMUTS de in in Those Easily Controlled Are Destroy, ing Annually Much Wheat, Oats and Barley.
