or markings. Such terms as native, 

 mongrel, razorback, dunghill, piney 

 woods, cayuse, broncho, and mustang 

 are somewhatsynonymous with "scrub," 

 although many of the animals des- 

 cribed by these terms have a certain 

 fixity of type even though they present 

 no evidence of systematic improved 

 breeding. 



Crossbred: This term applies to the 

 progeny of pure-bred parents of dif- 

 ferent breeds, but of the same species. 



Grade: A grade is the offspring result- 

 ing from mating a purebred with a 

 scrub, or from mating animals not 

 purebred, but having close pure-bred 

 ancesters.

tried new seed beside his own occasion- 

 ally he would have realized sooner that 

 his own were running out. 



The results warrant the urging of 

 farmers planning to grow potatoes next 

 season, to buy Northern Grown seed for 

 at least a greater part of their fields. It 

 is all right to try some seed that has 

 done well previous years in your com- 

 munity or seed that is only one year 

 away from some Northern section, but 

 be sure and do not plant your entire crop 

 with local seed.

sible by practical means is a matter that 

 cannot be neglected by the farmer. 



.5. There are two practical methods of 

 saving more of this liquid manure: 



The use of plenty of litter, such as 

 straw, waste hay, sawdust in the 

 gutters, and cement floors in the 

 gutters and manure pits. The 

 former is of more immediate import- 

 ance at the present time, but both 

 are worth while when the present 

 value of manure is considered.
