Waste of Pure Bred Bull Calves Should Be Eliminated for the Good of the Herd It is Estimated that Five Grades of Scrub Bulls are in Use for Ever}* Pure Bred Bull

The line representing pnre-b f«i Hol- . stcin-Freislan cows regislered In 1918 ^ runs out to 80,000. The line hr the . bulls of this breed registered durirg the same year extends only to 80.000 The difference, 50.000, represents the approximate number of bull calves

registered Presumably most of them were either vesded or fattened ! steers. The Jersey breed in 1918 registersj 80,000 cows and about 12,000 holla—a loss of 18,000 pure-bred sire*, many of which might be sere profitably employed In the work of improving scrub berda.

According to experts of the United States Department of Agriculture the replacement of scrub and grade bolls with good pore-brads would quickly and materially raise th' average production of 'be dairy herds. One of the reasons for the surprising situation outlined is probably an undeveloped system of distribution.

Gather Greens from Field And Eat Them as Nebuchadnezzar Did

Now is the time to eat greens while they are green, tender and inky. H is a most desirable change from the very solid «nd substantial feedIn? the winter months.

The Furrow News and Views About the Farm

Seed Acreage for 1920 The prospective comme vial acrease of vegetable seed crops lor 1920, com pared with last year, showr marked reductions in the acreage reported for dwarf snap beans, all beet, carroUettnre, onion seed, while a slightly Increased acreage is reported for garden pole beans, cucumber, muskmelon. watermelon, parsley, peiper, pumpkin, and Swede turnip seed. These eetlmtas are based on reports received by the Burean of Markets. United States Deoarunent of Agriculture, early In April from conmercial vegetable-seed growers and are as accural* ard complete as it was possible to obtain at that tlm* The estimated prosper! Ivs production for 1920 (computed or the basis

of the acreage reported and the average yield per acre for the fouryear period 1916-1919), compared with that for 1919, Is about 35 per cent less for sweet corn and English turnip; 50 per cent less for dwarf snap beans, celery, parsnip, and squash; 60 per cent lees for garden and mangrel beet, carrot, onion seed rnd spinach; while an Increase is indicated of 20 per cent for sugar beet and garden pees and 50 per cent for onion sets. The estimated acreage and prospective preduction for 1920 are more comparable with those for 1917, and the reduction in acreage and production as noted should not be taken as an indication that the vegetableseed growing indusry in this country is on the decline from that of prewar years.

The number of horses displaced by

tractors in the corn belt Is largely determined by the number it is neces6nry to keep for corn cultivation, and other wor’.. current at the same time A jwhich the tractor cannot do. This la perhaps, the most important of the facts brought out by an investigation recently made by the United States Department of Agriculture In seven I corn-belt States, relative to the tnfluk ence of tractors on the use of horses. the results of which have been pubr llshed in Farmers' Bulletin 1998. The department ha* drawn on the experience of 191 tractor owners, in the preparation of this bulletin, which is designed to enable the corn-belt farmer to answer for himself the fo'

Several operators displaced horses entirely on plowing, disking, and barrowing. Few operators allowed their horses to stand idle while the tractor was ir u„e. The horses remaining on these farms are doing 75 per cem of the tractive work, and the tractor the re-

mainder.

The tractors were reed for an average 20 IP-hour days a year on the heme farms, no records being taken of custom work. A three-plow tSector on these farms does the wort of 8 1-2 horses in plowing, disking, harrowing

The results of this study further substantiate the conc-lnslon that the principal advajtat,' of a tractor lies In its ability to do heavy work la «t shorter time than it is posi'-ble with
