HARVEST DAY
Though the trees seem dead in the
winter long,
And you can not feel the beat
Of the throbbing life that pulses
strong
’Neath a glassy robe of sleet,
The Harvest Day is on the way,
And the sweep of its music deep
Shall fill the fields with the breath of
May
From the golden sheaves of wheat.

TAKING THE FIGHT FOR FOOD
PRODUCTION TO THE ARCTIC
The United States Department of
Agriculture is encouraging the de¬
velopment in Alaska of a considera¬
ble crop, grain, and live-stock indus®
try adapted to the comparatively
short growing season of that Terri¬
tory. It has five agricultural experi¬
ment stations in Alaska, the work of
which is covered in a report to the
Secretary of Agriculture by C. C.
Georgeson, agronomist in charge.
They are located at Sitka, Kodiak,
Matanuska, Fairbanks, and Rampart,
the latter being just under the Arctic
Circle, where the temperatures range
from plus 88 degrees to minus 63
decrees. have
These agricultural stations
done considerable work in breeding
and establishing new varieties of
grains, berries, fruits, and economic
plants suited to the short season and
the raising of domestic animals of all
kinds, of which there is great need
in Alaska because of its remoteness
from the rest of the world.
At present the largest farming
settlement is in the neighborhood of
Fairbanks, in the Tanana Valley.
About 5,000 bushels of grain was
raised in the vicinity of Fairbanks
in 1919.
! One of the big problems of Alas¬
kan agriculture, especially in the
northern parts, is the conservation of
THE LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT VALLEY, GEORGIA
moisture. When the ground is first
cleared, the soil is frozen nearly to
the surface the year around, The
first few crops require only a
slight rainfall, since the ice in the
ground gradually melts, furnishing ,
sufficient moisture, which by capil¬
lary action rises to the roots of the
growing crops. In the course of a
few years, however, the ice recedes
to a depth of 6 or 7 or more feet,
and this reservoir of moisture is no
longer available for the crops. It
then becomes necessary to use ma¬
chinery which will not only pack the
soil a few inehes below the surface
and thus hinder evaporation, but at
the same time maintain a surface
mulch of loose soil, which, by hinder¬
ing evaporation, conserves the mois¬
ture. The average rainfall in the
Tanana Valley is only about 12
inches.
Good kinds of green feeds for bens
in winter, recommended by the
United States Department of Agri¬
culture, are sprouted oats, alfalfa
meal, chopped alfalfa and clover
hay, cabbages, and mangel beets. Cab
bages may be hung up in the poultry
house; the beets are usually split and
stuck on a nail on the side wall of
the pen about a foot above the floor
to keep the feed clean. Keep oyster
shells, grit, charcoal, and plenty of
clean drinking water before the hens
all the time.
DISEASE-FREE SEED CORN
YIELD BETTER, TESTS SHOW
Seed corn that gave 100 per cent
termination hut showed infection by
harmful organisms was matched
against corn that showed no infection
in a series of tests carried out by
plant specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture in coop¬
eration with the Indiana Experiment
Station. The disease-free seed gave
in increased yield of 10 to 30 per
per cent above its competitor.
Further results of the test seemed
to prove that when corn was planted
too thickly in hill or drill row it was
more susceptible to disease than
when better space was given it. In a
similar test at Bloomington, 111., the
disease-free seed gave an Increase of
23 per cent over the other corn,
which was selected for high germi¬
nation only. At Hoopeston, 111., the
difference, measured in tons, ranged
from 0.01 ton to 1.5 tons in favor of
the see selected both for high germ¬
ination and freedom from disease.
The selection was based on the ab¬
sence of discoloration in the kernels
and cobs as indicating soundness.
Disease is indicated by brown dis¬
co loration at the butts of the ears
and at the kernel tips and by decay
in the cobs.

One case reported to the United
States Department of Agriculture in¬
dicates how fur prices are advancing,
with increased demand and decreas¬
ing supply. A man bought a mink
lined overcoat for $500 in 1915. Two
years later he sold the mink lining
for $1,000 and replaced it with nu¬
tria for $150. He wore it two years
and sold the nutria lining for $250,
putting in a muskrat lining that cost
$55. In 1919 he sold this lining for
$300, and still has the shell and
$845 clear profit.

BEAN GROWERS COOPERATE
PROFITABLY IN MARKETING
Not wooden shacks, but permanent
structures of stone mark the pros¬
perity of .Mountainair, N. Mex. No
oil has been found, nor yet rich min¬
eral deposits. The community has
simply struck beans!
Although pinto beans have been
grown in New Mexico for a good
many years, where the industry was
spasmodic and unorganized, it was
not until a year or so ago that the
■possibility of greater profit was
realized. The field representative of
the Bureau of Markets, United States
Department of Agriculture, informed
the growers something of what had
been accomplished by cooperative
marketing associations throughout
the United* States, and assisted them
in organizing the New Mexican Bean
Growers’ Association, which now
embraces 14 local associations.
It has been conservatively estimat¬
ed that as a result of cooperative
selling $75,000 of additional profits
were earned by the pinto-bean grow¬
ers last year, and that they saved
$7,500 alone through the coopera¬
tive buying of bags in carload lots
With a larger margin of profit foi
the efforts exerted by the producers
the future of the industry seems as¬
sured. Pinto beans are now being sold
at .25 per hundred pounds in car
load lots over quotations on C. H. P.
navies.

Move pullets into winter quarters
before they begin to lay, the United
States Department of Agriculture ad¬
vises. All should be in winter quar
ters before cold weather. See that
the henhouse is disinfected and that
it is tight on three sides and that
there is no chance for a draft to
strike the hens while on their
roosts.
Shade tree.s and ornamental shrubs
in the United States represent
value of one billion dollars, accord
ing to the estimate of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Ten million dollars damage is done
annually by shade-tree insects.
