Station, West Raleigh. , The rape plant closely resembles the ruta-baga during Its early stages v of growth; in fact, so close Is this re semblance that often an experienced grower cannot distinguish - between them. Its root system, however, Is more like that of the cabbage. It likes cool weather and will grow dur ing any portion of the year after se vere freezing weather is passed. It will endure pretty severe cold weather in Che ifall and winter without being ma terially injured; in fact, it may be used for pasturage after being-frozen, pro vided stork ara knnt. rtff whiln It. in ' frozen. It does not make much growth during the hot, dry months of mid- ,' summer. Under ordinary condition the plants will attain a height of 18 Inches to 2 feet or more. The Dwarf Essex variety of the crop is best suit ed for us under Southern conditions, ' Possibilities of the Crop. . Farmers are becoming more and . more Interested In the 'production of ' green crops for fall, winter and early spring grazing. Especially is this true of those who are engaged in the rate Ing of hogs and poultry. For winter pasturage an acre or two of this crop will supply many tons of nutritious feed at the time of the - year when green feeds are, scarce. It has been fully demonstrated by repeated trials that an acre of rape properly seed ed on good rich land will produce as much pork when used as a hog pas ture as the same acre of land culti vated in corn. The rape can be grown much cheaper than the corn, as it will not require any cultivation, and the preparation of the seed-bed and seeding will be about the same for . both. The hogs will harvest the rape crop, while the corn must be harvest ed by the fanner himself. It should be remembered, however, that the acreage of rape that can be profitably utilized for" pasturage on the average farm is limited, It usaully not being more than two or three acres. In feeding, experiments at the Ala bama Station running for 147 days (November 9-April 6) with pigs weigh ing approximately 45 pounds each at the beginning of the experiment," K was found that the two lots of pigs fed fn a ration of two 'carts of corn and one part of wheat shorts and allowed the use of a rape pasture during the period, produced pork on an average - of 34.4 per cent less cost per pound, counting ' the cost of providing the rape pasture, than did another lot fed on the same ration and confined in dry lots. In other words, the lots fat tened' on rape pasture, supplemented with the necessary amount of the ra tion of corn and wheat shorts, made very satisfactory profit, while the lot fattened on the ration of corn and" wheat shorts alone in dry lots afford ed little or no profit " soil 'and Its Preparation. Rape is beet adapted for growth on a deep, rich', mellow,. Joamy soil that is fairly well stored with humus. It does not do well on the very light sandy or stiff clay soils because they ' are defllclent in organic matter. Any soil that will produce wl eat and corn well will be found suited for the crowtn or rape, in preparing me ' land It should be well broken, then - thoroughly harrowed Into a fine, clean seed bed, as is usually done for tup. . nips or ruta-bagas. If the land , has a liberal aoDlicaUon of manure the previous year, so much the better. On average land.

In sowing with small grains the rye, oats, or wheat seed should (first be drilled In or sown broadcast and covered an inch deep and then the rape seed sown broadcast and lightly covered by means of a light smoothing harrow or brush. Where the rape is used alone, 4 or 6 pounds of seed per acre will be sufficient. A good seeding, when sown with oats, would.be y bushels of Red Rust Proof or Appier oats with about 2 to 3 pounds of Dwarf Essex rape seed. Rye at the rate of 2 pecks or wheat at the rate of 4 pecks per acre may be substituted for the oats if found desirable to make the substitution. Another mixture that has been found to give good results In supplying pas turage for hogs coneists of a seeding made up of 2 to 8 pecks of rye, 6 to 6 pounds of crimson clover, and pounds of Dwarf Essex rape seed. This latter mixture has proven particularly valuable for the mountain section for elevation less than 2,800 feet above sea-level. Usually with rape alone or seeded in the mixtures Indicated above the grazing may be started usually within thirty to sixty days after seed' ing. Frequently during a favorable season the rape may be lightly grazed by pigs three to four weeks after seed ing. Precautions In Crazing.' In pasturing rape the hogs should not be allowed on It until the plants are at least 10 to 12 inches high, for if pastured before this time the young plants will be likely to be pulled up and killed. Care should be exercised, too, that the number of hogs on the pasture is not so large as to keep the rape too closely grazed, for such would prove fatal to tho plants and the life of the pasture would thereby be ma terially shortened. After being grazed, the plants should be given an oppor tunity to get well started into growth before being grazed again. By divid ing the field into lots these may be pastured in succession. If sown on good land and properly handled one acre of rape will provide grazing for ten or twelve hogs for something like two or three months or more. PREPARING FOR A LARGER CROP OF WHEAT THIS YEAR FLOUR WILL BE HIGH NEXT YEAR AND FARMERS SHOULD iN . CREASE THEIR CROP. By C. B. WIlllamB. Chief Division of Agronomy, N. C. Extension Ser-' vice. West Raleigh, N. C. v indications are that the price of wheat, and hence, of flour, is to- be high during the next year. This will naturally cause a planting of an In creased acreage of this crop. Under normal conditions this would not be a promising situation under which to advise the growing of more' wheat; but since Congress will in all probab ility, fix a minimum price for stand ard grade wheat at primary markets of $2.00 per bushel it certainly seems to be advisable this year. In the Piedmont and mountain sec tions of. the State, wheat growers should increase their acreage to some extent at leasL Those who have not grown this crop previously in this portion of the State might do so with safety, and in ay probability, put in a few acres to good advantage to provide for the needs of the family. On some of the more compact eastern soils, also wheat might be grown during the present high price with fairly satisfactory results. Or dinarily we would not recommend ths growing of this crop but very little, It any, in the Coastal "Plain 8ecUon of the State because, this portion of tbe State is' not nearly so wall adapt ed generally to U as the Western batf ; It is highly Important that good seed shall be eecared for . planting purposes.- .
