(Prepared by the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture.) Do not wait'until planting time next cpring to select your seed potatoes. Do not even wait until harvest time this fall. Begin now by making a study of the plunts. This Is the plan that should be followed by potato growers who want to have seed that will pro­ duce the highest"yields. Potato grow­ ers should have a seed plat, which may or may not be a part of the main crop, and from the best-growing, disease-re­ sistant plants in this plat, which pro­ duce high yields of marketable-sized potatoes, select their seed for the fol­ lowing year. An area of one-tenth or one-fifteenth of the entire acreage will usually provide sufficient seed for the following season's planting. While it is an advantage to start the seed plat tilth selected material the work may be begun during the grow­ ing season with any good stock of promising quality planted in suitable soil,and properly cared for. The best portion of the field therefore shonld be selected for the seed plat. It should be well drained, frequently cultivated and thoroughly sprayed. Inspect Seed Plaf. Several times during the growing season the seed plat should be inspect­ ed. Alt weak, degenerate and diseased hills and those showing varietal mix­ tures should be pulled, so that only the progeny of healthy hills of the correct variety will remain at harvest KEEP FARM MACHINERY BUSY Lazy Binder Works Only Forty Day* ,J*> Ei#ven Years---"W*rk-or- Fight" Policy Applicable. g-'V v'.̂ " apart-(Prepared by the United States ment of Agriculture.) The work-or-ftght policy should be applied to farm machinery as well as to men. Though machines cannot fight they tcan be put to work on many occa­ sions Instead of standing idle In the barn lot. Most farm machines and im­ plements are capable of doing much more work than they usually do. and the more they are used the less man labor will be required on the" farm. Three men with a corn binder, one op­ erating the machine and two gathering and shocking the bundles, will cut from seven to ten acres a day, while four or five acres would be a fair dny> work for the same three men cutting corn by hand. The average corn"hinder lasts about eleven years, but during that time does Only about forty days' actual wrork. There is no doubt that It could render several tftnes this much service before wearing out if there were more work to do. There seems to be very little relation between the amount of work done annually by a corn binder and me-years of service. • The bulletin refers to a survey con- , i-ij ducted in New York state which show* j :>• ed that the more the corn binder could be used each year the less the cost of, cutting the corn when the cost of uKlng j:j: the binder was taken into considers-! g: tion. Two hundred and thirty-three of the 458 binders on which data were ob­ tained, cut 15 acres or less annually at a cost of $9.T8 per day used and $1.67 ! per acre. The remaining 225 cut ,•? over 15 acres annually, averaging 32^ ' ij:j acres, at a cost of $3.24 per day of ' x- service and 57 cents per acre. The orig- , r-ij ir.al oust of one of these binders was j about $125. Thus if there Is only one | :& or tiyo days' work for the binder to ,do ' % each year, the cost of cutting the corn Si time. Plants showing stem rot either at or below the surface of the soil, plants developing any type of abnormal roiling of the leaves, those with mot­ tled or crinkled leaves, and any plants that are stunted, weakened or that raake unthrifty growth, should be dis­ carded. If practicable It is best to dig the seed plat by hand, care being taken to elminate all low-yielding hills and those producing an undue proportion of small or unshapely tubers. In harvesting, avoid unnecessary cutting, bruising or other injury, since the vitality of dam­ aged tubers is reduced. Gather and store the seed potatoes in slat crates. Place them as soon as possible after harvesting in a cool reasonably moist storage house provided with good ven­ tilation and maintained at a tempera­ ture of 30 to 40 degrees F. Work Stock Over Carefully. Before the next planting time the stock should be carefully worked over to remove all badly cut or bruised tu­ bers and those shdwing serious scab or black scurf and decay of any kind. Tu­ bers badly off type should also be dis­ carded, as should any showing abnor­ mal discoloration of flesh, which can be seen, of course, only at the time of cutting. If scab or black scurf is present in any degree. It is advisable to treat, the seed by covering for 30 minutes in a solution containing four ounces of corrosive sublimate to SO gallons of water. „ VALUE OF INSECTICIDE ACT Farmers Have P«en Saved Money fey Prevention of Sale of Worth* v less Preparations. v: ̂ ' (Prepared by the United Statee D^tar*-' ment of Agriculture.) B><)th the farmer and the manufac­ turer have been benefited by the en­ forcement of the insecticide act of 1910. Fanners have been supplied with in­ secticides and fungicides that will do what is claimed for them; and have been saved money by prevention of the sale of worthless, low grade,/-and short-weight preparations, and by pre­ vention of crop or live-stock losses through use of worthless Insecticides or fungicides. The legitimate manufacturer has been protected against the Illegitimate manufacturer; confidence In insecti­ cides and fungicides has b£en created among fnrmersVand stock raisers, and sales Have increased; valuable infor­ mation regarding the manufacture and efficacy of insecticides and fungicides has been given to the manufacturer, enabling hi in to prepare good preparu- , tions and truthful labels.
