Mosaic Disease Decreases Sugar Cane Supply, I
la Georgia, Fiori da and Other Gulf States
The spread of Mosaic disease in
Louisiana, Georgia, Florida and other
gulf states during the past two years
has seriously curtailed the sugar
cane crops of those sections. It is
the same disease which in epidemic
form has been responsible for a 30
to 40 per cent reduction in the sugar
yield of many plantations in west
ern FfSrto Rico during the last live
years . Its occurrence in Java and
the Hawaiian islands has long been
known. Careful experiments in the
latter country have demonstrated
that where all of the plants in the
field are affected the sugar loss
ranges from 5 to 40 per cent, depend
ing on the variety of the cane. Mo-

I
I saic disease apparently has been in
Cuba for nearly twenty years, but
it has spread very slowly and the
losses have been practically negli
gible.
The most constant and conspicuous
evidence of the disease is the gen- '
eral pallor of the leaves and the '
slight stunting of the plants. Close I
examination of the leaves shows that J
this pallor is caused by light green
streaks which develop in the nor
mal dark green foliage. These I
streaks are variable in length and
width, but on the average are about 1
3-16 inch by 11 1-2 inches in length, ’
being bluntly pointed at the ends. |
They may become very numerous ,
and confluent, so that the normal
green appears as “islands” in a
light green background. Affected
plants do not die, but are noticeably
stunted, especially those of stubble
crops.
Foreign planters, after long expe
rience with the disease, have devel
oped efficient control measures for
regions where Mosaic is present in
small amounts. In badly-infested re
gions it is essential to plant immune
cane varieties, a number of vyhich
have been discovered. Methods for
controlling Mosaic are based on the
experimental findings that cuttings
from infected stock invariably give
rise to diseased plants, while infec
tion of new individuals depends on
the proximity of diseased plants, and
that the infectious material does not
exist in the soil. Consequently the
elimination of. all diseased cane by
grinding, selection of clean seed for
I reseeding, and subsequent rogue.ing
of the sprouted cane to eliminate
diseased plants from infected . cut
tings which may have accidentally
been introduced with the seed, are
rational control measures and where
carefully practiced almost assure a
crop free of Mosaic infection.
The office of sugar plant investi
gations, bureau of plant industry,
United States department of agricul
ture, is making a rapid survey of
the gulf states in searching out the
Mosaic disease, and as far as possi
ble will supply information concern
ing the localities which are disease
free. Planters are invited to avail
themselves of this federal service in
locating disease-free seed cane. It
is important that importations of
large amounts of seed cane into such
newly-developed agricultural lands
as those of southern Florida should
be conducted with the greatest care
and caution.

EARMEI S’ PUBLIC MARKETS
SHAPE D BY LOCAL NEEDS
In attacking the cost of living
problem through ideal public mar
kets, communities might well give
heed to definite underlying principles
that are known to apply to such
marketing institutions. Unless one
' is familiar with the flow of farm
produce from the. country into he
; market basket the distinction be
: tween ‘•farmers' retail market” and
I “farmers' wholesale market" is not
drawn, but both may be called a
, “farmers’ market” and pictured as
I one and the same in their operation
! and function.
Some communities have tried to
change farmers’ wholesale markets
into retail markets where the house
wife Could fill her market basket
with purchases made direct from
farmers—-always at a saving. These
attempts have usually resulted in
failure and a deal of friction between
the public, the farmers, and officials
because, accordng to city marketing
men of the bureau of markets.
United States department of agri
culture, the farmers’ wholesale mar
ket is a very different institution
from a farmers’ retail market.
A farmers’ wholesale market draws
to it- producers who specialize ,n
truck crops and fruits, and who
count on haulng corn, potatoes, toma
toes, apples, strawberries, or other
crops in large quantities. They de
sire quick sales in large lots after
they reach the market so they dan
return to theit farms and the work
of production. Time to such grow
ers is more valuable than the dif
ference between what they get in
wholesale quantities for their prod
ucts and what they might realize
by lingering long enough to retail
their load in small lots at higher
than wholesale prices.
Retail farmers’ markets, on the
other hand, attract a group of pro
ducers who raise a small amount
of fruit or vegetables as a side line
and whose other crops do not de
mand as close attention as those of
the truck raiser. Often a farmer
who raises only a few vegetables
can send them to a retail farmers’
market in mixed lots, by a member
of hs family, who is able to remain
away from the farm long enough .to
dispose of these products to house
wives carrying market baskets.
Mixed Wholesale and Retail Markets.
The retail farmers’ market depends
as much for its success upon location
as on any other factor. It must be
Convenient for the housewife, while
a wholesale farmers’ market need
not be as centrally located, because
dealers have wagons or trucks with
which to father their supplies
• Farmers’ wholesale markets are an
, early morning institution, starting
| business at daybreak or even before,
while a farmers’ retail market starts
I later and runs for a longer time.
1 This, of course, may make possible
r.:a
a mixed retail and wholesale farmers’
market; but in organizing such a
market it is likely it will appeal
to afferent groups of farmers, and
that it will be necessary to regulate
the hours so there will be no con
flict between wholesale and retail
business among the wagons or sheds.
Although retail farmers’ markets
have been urged in many communi
ties as a means of reducing the cost
of living, too much is often expect
ed of them, according' to men who
have studied the problem and who
point out that all locally raised pro
duce, especially the more staple
crops, such as potatoes, cabbage,
onions, and apples, represent but a
small amount of the total of such
products consumed by city dwellers,
the bulk of which is shipped in from
more distant sections. Retail farm
ers’ markets do serve as an outlet
for a certain amount of local pro
duce, varying with localities, that,
might otherwise be left on the farm,
or not produced by the farmer who
depended upon other sources of in
come than fruits and vegetables.
Any community contemplating the
establishment of a farmers’ retail
market should first make sure that
there are in that Community enough
farmers who are willing to haul their
produce to market and dispose of it
in small quantities direct to the
consumer.
Late Potato Crop Small
The late commercial potato crop
now for the first time receives a
separate report by the Bureau of
Crop Estimates, United States De
partment of agriculture. For the date
of September 1, the condition of this
crop indicates a yield of 123,518 car
loads, or considerably below the
estimate for the same month last
year, 146,048 carloads. Late pota
toes raised for local supply and all
other late potatoes not entering dis
tribution by carloads are not includ
ed in these estimates. One carload
equals 700 bushels.
In nearly every state the produc
tion of the late commercial crop of
potatoes falls below that of last
year. Pennsylvania is a prominent
exception, with a gain of 1,030 car
loads over last year, and yet that
state produces, this year, less than 6
per cent of the total of all states.
Maine has a prospect of 24,468 car
loads; Minnesota, '24,000; Wiscon
sin, 20,800; Michigan, 10,275; Colo
rado, 10,030; New York, 9,370;
Pennslyvania 6,980; and Idaho, 6,-
640 carloads.
A folding wire head rest which can
1 be attached to the back of a cap has
i been invented for the comfort of men

I der automobiles.

ANSWERING CENSUS QUERIES I
WILL HELP FARM PROFITS!
! ~.-sjLs S s- A- J
.y
If you aim to climb this ladder, tell the census enumerator all
the facts about yourse’t so that the government can help you.
IVhen the census enumerator comes
around to the farm shortly after Jan
uary 1, next year, he will ask some
questions that may sound like prying
into the purely personal affairs of
the farmer. Now, the farmer, like
every other self-respecting man, dis
likes having his private affairs peed
ed into and, unless he thinks about
this thing in advance, may have a
disposition to be unresponsive if not
actually resistant.
In actual fact, every question that
the enumerator will ask is an essen
tial question and has a direct bear
ing on the personal welfare and
prosperity of the individual farmer
as well as upon the advancement of
the agriculture of the nation as a
whole.
When the bureau of the census de
cided to take the farm census in Jan
uary instead of in April, it did so
upon the advice of the United States
department of agriculture. ■ The
farmer is less likely to be very busy
in January than at the spring plant
ing and breeding season, and his
products and live stock are in better
shape for statistical treatment. Also
every new question—and there are
a number of them —inserted in the
agricultural schedule was placed
there after consultation with the de
partment of agriculture and for the
purpose of clearing up some specific
situation in which the department
of agriculture is trying to aid the
farmer.
Alere are some questions that will
asked: “Do you own all of this
farm?” “Do you rent from others
part but not all of this farm?” “Do
you rent from others all of this
farm?” “If you rent all of this farm,
what do you pay as rent?” “If you
own all or part of this farm, was
there any mortgage debt or other
encumbrance on the land so owned
on January 1, 1920?” “What was the
total amount of debt or encumbrance
on land on this farm owned by you
January 1, 1920?”
Pertinent—Not Impertinent
“What the Sam Hill,” you may
inquire, “has the government got to
do with how much money I owe on
my' land?” Well, two of the things
which the department of agriculture j
has been giving deepest thought dur
ing the past several years are farm
tenancy and rural credits. The past
three censuses have shown an in
crease in the number of tenants.
Alarmists have felt—and said—that
the country is going to the bow
wows by the landlord route. The de
partment o£ agriculture, however,
looked into the matter as well as it
was able, and refused to be alarmed, i
Where it was able to make surveys i
it discovered that while the number i
of tenants twenty-five years old was |
greater in 1910 than in 1900 or 1890,!
the number of tenants forty-five years 1
old was considerably smaller in 1910
than in 1900 or 1890.
The inference is that tenancy is
a step toward ownership, that the
young fellow Who becomes a tenant
farmer when he marries, say, is like
ly to be a farm owner before before
his first child is grown—the farm
paid for and the money that used
to go to pay off the mortgage avail
able for send the children to col
lege.
Now, to the department of agricul
ture, that looks like a thoroughly
normal, healthy and beneficial proc
ess. To just the extent that tenancy
leads to farm ownership, it is a
good thing for the country and for
the individual.
Full Answers Essential
But it has not been possible to get
a complete, nation-wide survey of
the situation. The forthcoming cen
sus offers the opportunity for doing
that. If ev x ery farmer will answer
the enumerator’s questions fully and
fairly the department of agriculture
will have the data from which to
analyze the situation accurately and
to determine what things can be
done to best advantage to help the
tenant in his aspiration to become
a farm owner.
One of the directions that aid may
take is encouragement of rural cred
its —finding all of the ways possible
of .helping the young farmer to get
money that he may need to bor
row. It is necessary, therefore, to
know what proportion of farmers
who advance from tenants to own
ers have to borrow money to make
the change, and how much, in pro
portion to total value of the farms
bought, they have to borrow.
The road toward ownership does
not necessarily start with tenancy.
A great many farm owners were first
farm hands, then tenants, then own
ers with a mortgage, then, owners
debt free. The census will show, if
the questions are answered fairly,
how many years, if any, every farm
er worked for wages; how many years
he was a tenant, and how many
years he has been an owner. The
department of agriculture will have
the basic information it needs to
help men to success in farm owner
ship.
Other Important Queries
Here are some other questions
that will be asked: “Has this farm
a telephone?” "Is water piped into
the operator’s house?” “Has the
operator’s house gas or electric
light?”
Now, that looks like an effort to
find out whether or not the farm
family has the modern home com
forts —and it is just that, but it
means something more than mere
inquisitiveness. Several months ago,
when the bureau of farm manage
ment was in process of reorganiza
tion, the secretary of agriculture
called a conference of heads of
schools, social workers, and others
f-.cm all over the country. When
the people were assembled in Wash- ;
ington he asked their opinion as to '
the most useful thing that could tie I
done by the office of farm manage- I
ment. For a whole day those people .
discussed the matter. Just before 1
night, with a score of items on the I
ballot, they took a vote. The work !
of promoting the comfort and con
venience of the farm home received
on overwhelming majority of the
votes.
That, then, is one of the things
that the Department of Agriculture
is trying to do in aid of the farm
pcpulatioßj of this country. In order
to de the work intelligently, the de
partment needs as full information
as possible as to how the farm
homes of the country are equipped
for comfort and convenience.
Another Way to Help
Every farmer will be asked how
many acres of drained land he has
and how many other acres of land
there are on his farm that could
be made suitable for cultivation
if they were tile-drained or ditch
drained. When these questions are
asked you, remember that they are
asked every one of your neighbors.
Possibly you have a tract of land
, that would be the most productive
field on your farm if you could get
the surplus water out of it, but
you cannot do it because, to be ef
fective, the drainage ditch would
have to go far beyond the borders
of your own farm, would have to
be a county enterprise, and the
county has not seen fit to do any
thing about it. If that be true, sev
eral of your neighbors have land
that should be drained. If all of
you tell the census enumerator how
many acres you have that need
drainage, the Department of Agri
culture will have the facts to show
what is needed in your community.
When the opportunity offers it will
be in position to do what it may
to secure for you what you need.
Those things are fairly typical
of the questions that will be asked
in taking the agricultural census.
In order to answer all of the ques
tions intelligently, the farmer will
have to think about the matter a
little before the enumerator calls
on hitm. He ought to give the
enumerator the most accurate in
formation he can. What the Individ
likely to benefit that farmer indi
ual farmer tells the enumerator is
vidually, but it is certain to bene
fit any number of other farmers.
It is not too early now to get the
facts straight in your mind.

Germinating Freshly
Harvested Winter Wheat
Frequently only a small percent
age of freshly harvested winter
wheat germinates readily under the
conditions ordinarly used in making
the germination tests even though it
would germinate well under these
same conditions a few weeks later.
In sections of the country where
farmers depend upon wheat from
the current crop for the fall sowing
the poor germination secured with
the fresh grain has made it difficult
for seed analysis to give accurate
information as to the quality of
winter wheat offered for seed in
time for this information to be of
service.
In a recent investigation by the
seed laboratory of the United States
department' of agriculture it has
been found that this difficulty can
be almost entirely overcome, even
with wheat taken from standing
plants and never allowed to dry out,
by the use of a lower temperature
that lias been customary lor making
the germination tests. Thus, of 16
samples of freshly harvested wheat
an average of 99 per cent began to
germinate in five days at tempera
tures from 9 degrees to 16 degrees
C (48 degrees to 61 degrees F),
wtiercfis in the same time an aver
age of only 86 per cent germinated
at 22 degrees C (72 degrees F)
which is about the temperature at
which germination tests of wheat
are frequently made. In the case
of one lot 98 per cent were germi
nating by the end of five days at 12
degrees C (54 degrees F) and only
16 per cent at 22 degrees C (72 de
grees F). About 15 degrees C (59
degrees F) is recommended for use
in making germination tests of all
freshly harvested wheat. Os course
at this temperature the rate of
growth is slow after germination
has begun.
This method of treatment was
equally successful with fresh sam
ples of spring wheat and gave good
results also with oats and barley.

RID FARM OF WILD ONIONS
j Wild onion, or garlic, is the worst
weed pest in many southern wheat
fields. It is very difficult to re
move from the thrashed grain and
to eradicate from farms. Wheat
containing onions is usually docked
heavily. Bread made from garlicky
flour, especially if eaten warm, has
a pronounced odor and flavor. Avoid
sowing wheat containing onion bulb
lets, and use every means to rid the
farm of wild onions if they are al
ready established.
Locusts are rich in nitrogen and
phosphoric acid, and the government
of Uruguay has appointed a commis
sion to ascertain if the insects can
not be utilized in fertilizer, soap and
lubricants.
