FOREIGN' WHEAT CROP
The Agricultural Outlook of June
23, published by the United States
Department of Agriculture, gives the
following facts regarding the foreign
wheat crop:
In early June prospects for the
Northern Hemisphere wheat crop
were, excepting a few countries, fully
normal. In Asiatic countries im
mediately north of the equator,
notably Southern China. British In
dia, and Persia, wheat harvesting
was finished. The yield of British
India is officially estimated at 313,.
000,000 bushels, against 358,000,
--000 bushels in 1913, a decrease of
46,000,000 bushels. Unofficially the
Persian crop is put at 14,000,000
bushels, a deficient yield compared
with that of the previous year.
In countries along the north coast
of Africa, next in harvest succes
sion, prospects as a whole are less
promising than a year aso. The
Egyptian wheat, though good in
general, has been Injured in the
Province of Menufia by storms and
in upper Egypt is reported below
average, In the eastern and coast
regions of Algeria drought In March
did much Irreparable damage, but in
other regions the plants were widely
revived by April rains. Prolonged
drought has also seriously affected
the small crop of Tunis.
Throughout the Continent of
Europe wheat seems in general to
have made the progress toward ma
turity to be expected at this season,
notwithstanding widespread appre
hension at times of deterioration In
some countries from lack of suffi
cient rainfall and unseasonably low
temperatures. in thee United King
dom the former fine prospect was
reported in late May as well main
tained, though cool weather was
then retarding growth and rain was
needed in some places.
The total area under winter and
spring wheat In France on May 1 has
been officially returned as 16,045,
--000 acres, as compared with 16,
--176,000 acres last year and 16,179,
--000 in 1912. The month of May
was characterized by violent changes
of weather, and it is now realized
that a satisfactory outcome of the
French crop depends upon continu
ous favorable weather until after
harvest.
In Spain. Italy, and Portugal the
ripening grain gives general promise
of bountiful yields, excepting in
southern Italy, Sardinia, and S'clly,
where drought is said to have seri
ously curtailed the output.
The stales of north-central and
south-central Europe, as a whole-, re
port prospects about normal. In the
Scandinavian countries, Germany,
and Austria vegetation is somewhat
backward, because of dry and cool
weather, but no actual damage has
resulted. In Hungary, the former
discouraging outlook for a full crop
shows considerable Improvement
compared with a month ago. and In
Roumania the fears aroused by a
prolonged drought have been dissi
pated by general rains. The Rou
manian wheat area has been offici
ally returned at 1,832,000 acres,
compared with 1,011,000 acres in
1913 and 5,114,000 in 1912; a fail
yield cm the present acreage now
seems assured. The scant reports
from the Balkan States Indicate con
ditions of growth differing in no im
portant respect from those of ordi
nary years.
A semi-official report from Russia
slates that the condition of winter
wheat there was "good" in 66, and
spring wheat -'good" in 66, out of 72
governments. I.ate in May copious
rain fell in nearly all districts; the
benefit to crops, which in some
places were beginning to show the
effects of drought, was Inestimable.
The total area under grain in
Canada is provisionally returned as
follows: Wheat, 11,203,800 acres, oi
-188,800 acres more than in 1913;
oats, 10.811,000 acres, compared
with 10.434,000 acres last year;
barley, 1,604,000 acres, or 9000
acres less than a year ago. and rye,
111,070 acres, against 119,300 acres
in 1913. The' condition of spring
wheat June i was '.'.:. winter beat
was 79.
Till: FARMERS' TWO .ions
Speaking in a broad and general
way, the farmer has just two jobs on
his hands this year ami every year.
The first is to produce the stuff, and
the' second is to sell it to the best
advantage. The production depends
mainly on the-, fertility of the soil,
and this again is largely governed by
the way he- has performed the job of
production in times past.
if we are to produce to advantage.
fe must absorb and us,, the wisdom
and experience of the. past. We must
have a rotation of crops. We must
give proper drainage, if that is lack
ing naturally. We must keep the
soil stored with vegetable matter. We
must select the right kind of seed, of
the right variety, and of good qual
ity. We must plant and sow. Wo
must cultivate. We- must harvest
and stack, crib, or otherwise protect
the crop until It is time to take up
the second job.
We may elect one or two ways of
selling the stuff produced. We can
sell it as coarse grain directly on the
market, or keep It until the market
is ready for it; but in either case it
amounts to selling more or less of
the fertility of the land. The other
way is to manufacture it into meats;
that is, stock growing.
Very few men are equally efficient
in doing these two jobs. Some men
are expert grain growers, but don't
know how either to breed or to feed
or to market live stock. Some men
can breed wisely, but fail in feeding.
Other men breed well and feed well,
and yet fail to market to the best ad
vantage. The breeding and feeding of
live stock Is a much higher type of
farming than is simply growing
grain; but even than the most suc
cessful breeder and feeder of live
stock is not always a good grain
grower, for the reason that he gives
his special attention to his live stock
and neglects his grain growing; and
vice versa. Some stockmen prefer to
market their crop in the shape of
pork, others in the shape of beef,
others in the shape of wool or mut
ton. Others in the shape of horse
flesh, and still others— and this is
really the highest type of farming
after all —in the shape of milk and
butter
Many grain growers fall down in
their marketing because they tail to
co-operate with their neighbors in
getting the shortest way to market.
Many stock growers, though perhaps
not so many, fall because they do not
co-operate in breeding their live stock
or in selling it to the best advant
age.
We have not attempted in this ar
ticle to tell farmers in detail how
they should grow their grain or how
they should handle' their stock. We
simply want to put before them this
thought, that there are just two jobs
before the farmer. One is produc
tion and the other is selling either
directly or through live stock.
There are several advantages in
the live stock route to market. One
is that it maintains the fertility of
the soil, while exclusive grain grow
ing wastes it. Another is that It helps
to solve the labor problem, because It
furnishes labor to a hired man the
year around, and belles to distribute
the work over the year. Another is
thai we have better buildings and a
better .stale of society in live stock
sections than in grain growing sec
tions. The highest civilization we
have is where there is the highest
form of stock growing, namely, in the
dairy section.- —Wallaces' Farmer.
SOCK SKIM MILK FOR CALVES
That in summer time calves do as
well on sour skim milk as they do on
sweet will he interesting news to
many farmers who have hitherto
been kept from raising calves by the
expense of keping the milk sweet in
hot weather. This expense experi
ments carried out by the Department
of Agriculture indicate to be quite
unnecessary. The calves will make
as: rapid gains on sour skim milk.
In winter, it is true, this is not quite
so satisfactory. It chills the calves
and some of them drink it with
great reluctance. Very young calves
have even been known to refuse it
altogethr. On the other hand, of
course, it is much easier to keep the
milk sweet in winter.
In calling the attention of farmers
to these facts, however, the Depart
ment of Agriculture at the same time
emphasizes an important precaution.
Unless the milk is produced and kept
under cleanly conditions, it may be
come contaminated with disease
producing bacteria. Farmers should
therefore allow the milk to sour
quickly and then feed it without de
lay.
In the course of these experiments
sour skim milk was fed to 22 calves,
Holstelns, Jerseys and Guernseys, at
different seasons of the year. In no
case did it cause digestive disturb
ances even when the change from
sweet to sour milk was made abrupt
ly when the calves were only a few
days old. Moreover, no evil results
followed the alternate use of sweet
and sour. it seems, therefore, that
the common idea that sour milk
leads to scours is quite unfounded.
The calves, it was found, did not
like the sour milk as well as the
sweet, but in the majority of cases
soon became accustomed to it. The
aversion, however, increased when
the milk was fed them at a low tem
perature.
A GOOD SHOWING
The first annual report of the j
board of trustees of the North Pa- '
cific Fruit Distributors to the af
filiated fruit growers of Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and Montana has
just been printed and issued under
the' title of "One Year of the North
Pacific Fruit Distributors." It is be
ing distributed to over 8000 grow
ers for the avowed purpose of fully
informing them of the details of the
first year's business transacted by
their own co-operative organization.
Among the features revealed are
that in less than a year after being
finally organized and opening per
manent offices, the Distributors re
ceived a total price for the products I
marketed of $3,069,935.51, selling
S3 per cent of the fruit handled on J
an F. O. B. basis and operating at a
total selling cost, including the ex- '
pense of maintaining the central of- '
fice of brokerage and exchange, of (
legal, claim and traffic departments
and of extension and organization,
only a fraction over five per cent of
the net returns and approximately
four per cent of the gross returns
to the central, realizing an average
price per box for apples, all varieties,
all districts, all grades and all sizes*
of $1.26 F. 0. 8., shipping point, and
that the Distributors shipped fruit
to 243 cities in 38 states In the Unit
ed States, 33 cities in six Canadian
provinces and 16 cities In 10 Europ
ean countries and to South America,
South Africa, Australia and the
Philippines.
DRIED BEEF
A government recipe for dried beef
is as follows:
"The round is commonly used for
dried beef, the inside of the thigh be
ing considered the choicest piece, as
ii la slightly more tender than the
outside of the round. The round
should be cut lengthwise of the grain
of the meat, so that the muscle fiber
may be cut crosswise when the dried
beef is sliced for table use. | A tight
jar or cap is necessary for curing.
The process is as follows: To each
100 pounds of meat, weigh out five
pounds of salt, three pounds of
granulated sugar, and two ounces of
saltpeter; mix thoroughly together.
Rub the meat on all surfaces with a
third of the mixture, and pack in a
jar as tightly as possible. Allow it
to remain for three days, when it
should be removed and rubbed with
another third of the mixture. In re
packing, put at the bottom the pieces
that were on top the first time. Let
stand for three days, when they
should be removed and rubbed with
the remaining third of the mixture,
and allowed to stand for three days
more. The meat is then ready to be
removed from the pickle. The liquid
in the jars should not be removed,
but the meat should be re-packed in
the liquid each time. After remov
ing from the pickle, the meat should
be smoked and hung in a dry attic or
near the kitchen fire, where the
water will evaporate from it. it
may be used at any time after smok
ing, although the longer it hangs in
the dry atmosphere, the drier it will
get. The drier the climate, in gen
eral, the more easily meat can be
dried. in arid regions, good dried
meat can be made by exposing it
fresh to the air, with protection from
flies."
