LUBRIPLATE Lubri

ployed in industry for
many years.
PLATE is used in the
manufacture of cats,
trucks and other farm
machinery. Today
LUBRIPLATE is a must ier the lubrica
tion of underwater bearings of dredges
and exposed bearings of road-building
"cats" where heat, cold, wet and dirt
are factors. It prevents rust, arrests pro
gressive wear of parts and reduces fric
tion to a minimum. LUBRIPLATE goes
farther, hence is mote economical to use.
It is, therefore, the perfect lubricant foe
the former. It gives better lubrication
during use and positively prevents rust
during lay-up.

previous crop, as well as helping in
eliminating any volunteer plants.
In addition to preventing volunteer
growth, burying any shattered seed
will, in some areas, reduce the
chances of chalcid fly damage to the
seed crop in the fall. While this dam
age varies with years, it has reduced
yields materially in the past.
The cultivation of red clover fields
for seed is becoming a standard prac
tice with growers in all areas of the
state. This practice not only helps
to .reduce volunteer plants in the
second seed-producing year, but
eliminates a large percentage of
weeds. Where a spring-tooth culti
vator equipped with alfalfa teeth is
used there is no material reduction
in stand. Besides eliminating volun
teer plants and weeds, it permits a
more uniform penetration of the ir
rigation water.
Roguing Seed Crops
Producers of certified seed have
found that clean fields pay. Some
have found out the hard way, by
having fields rejected for certifica
tion, but most growers know that
clean fields pay.

"Now, girls, if yon want a new
house—it's simply more eggs for
more U. S. Savings Bonds. Tho
boss doesn't have enough."
In all classes of crops grown for
certification it is necessary to do
some hard work. Small grain must
be rogued of all cereal mixtures after
the crop is fully headed. The elim
ination of such plants should begin
after the is headed and
careful watch made on the field
until it is harvested. Very rarely can
a field of cereal grain pass field in
spection without being rogued sev
eral times.
With legume seed it is necessary
not only to have the fields weed-free,
but also clear of other legume plants
that frequently show up during the
growing season.
In alfalfa seed production sweet
clover is the most prevalent crop
mixture found. These plants should
be dug out of the ground. Usually
this job can be done best just be
fore clipping of the first crop, as
these plants show up better at that
time. When plants are merely art
down, many branches remain and
produce seed that finds its way into
the alfalfa seed in harvesting.
In red clover seed production,
alsike clover, buckhom plantain and
similar crops account for a higher
percentage of file crop dockage.
While there is considerable differ
ence in the size of red clover seed
compared to alsike clover seed,
nevertheless it is difficult to make
such a separation.
Cleaning grass seed is difficult
Any mixture of species of grass seed
will, in aH probability, be marketed
that way. In certified grass seed pro
duction careful roguing of the fields
is very necessary.
It should become apparent that one
of the factors governing the success
of seed production is clean fields.
While many phases are fhvolved, still
the foundation of all seed certifica
tion stems back to keeping aU for
eign growth eliminated.
