SCAB TAKES HEAVY- TOLL "Winter wheat everywhere east of the Great Plains was heavily infected with scab last year. Spring wheat also suffered greatly, and many spring wheat fields were left uncut, due chiefly to the ravages of scab. The ^states suffering the greatest losses of both spring and winter wheat include Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota, Min nesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Mary land, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky. No entirely satisfactory control of this disease has been developed, be cause the scab fungi develop on so many different kinds of grains and grasses and on cornstalks, stubble, straw and other trash. Two things, however, are regarded as important. First, the best wheat obtainable should be used for seed. This should be thoroughly cleaned and treated by the formaldehyde method recommend ed for the prevention of smut. Sec ond, this wheat should be sown on thoroughly plowed land—land where the old cornstalks, wheat stubble and grass straw have been entirely plowed under. This can be accomplished by use of a drag chain. All grass and straw should be burn ed or otherwise removed from hedges, fence rows, fence corners and nearby waste places. These waste places Bhould be either plowed or burned off. STORAGE BATTERY POINTS Storage batteries can withstand in creasingly low temperature as they are kept well charged. A. R. Notting ham of the North Dakota Agricultural college states that the temperatures below which such batteries as are used in automobiles will freeze are about as follows: Discharged, 13 above one-fourth charged, zero one-half charged, 38 below, and three-fourths charged, 60 below. This shows the need of keeping the battery charged in cold weather. If the car is used for short trips and the starter is used, the battery will run down. Conse queptly in such cases it is often ad visable to not use the self-starter. On long trips, where the motor is not started often, the starter can be used, as there will be time for the battery to become recharged. Low temper atures also reduce the capacity of the Tbattery and make the engine harder to start, so that under such conditions the battery discharges rapidly when used in starting an engine. FARMER "PROFITEERING" On 324 farms in the richest part of Iowa, investigators of the department of agriculture found the average farm income, without any allowance whatever for interest on investment, to be $3,480 in 1918. If 5 per cent were allowed on the land value pre vious .to the recent boom only $1,124 was left to each farmer to pay for his own labor and the risk oi the business. If Qie prices for land on August 1, 1919, had been used in the interest calculations the farmer would have had $151 to cover his labor and risk.
