Young Corn and Cotton Should BE
Narrowed.

Washington, ID. c., May r9-The
beneficial effect of a well prepared
seed bed and the use of good seed
may be wholly or partially Offset by
improper or insufficient cultivation,
is the advice of crop specialists of
the Department of Agriculture.
Proper cultivation is an important
factor in crop production. Guilt
va,ion should begin Immediately
after planting by running once or
twice across the rows with 4 wccder
or section harrow. After the plants
come up at least two additional cul-
tivations should be given with either
the weeder or harrow in the case of
either corn or cotton before the
regular cultivators are used. Run
diagonally across the rows with
either of these implements, using
the section harrow with the teeth
slanted backward with an angle of
IS degrees and repeat week later
at right angles with first cultivation.
The use of the weeder or section
hasrow is strongly advised for the
early cultivation of corn cotton and
many other crops. 1t is best to use
the weeder on very loose or sandy
soils while the section harrow is pre-
ferable on clay or buckshot soils
This early cultivation with the weed
er or harrow destroys all young
grass and weeds and leaves the soil
in fine condition and the cote n
ready for choppiug or thinning.
The use of the section harrow for
the early cultivation of corn and
cotton IN the South is comparative
ly recent but is rapidly becoming
general. One of the great advan
tages in its use, in addition to the
excellent work done, is the extra
amount of land that can be Guilt
waited in given time.

Street To Be Oiled.

\ canvass of business men and
property owners along Main street
is being made with view to having
the thoro u shfare oiled. The oitv
council has agreed to have the street
cleaned and repaired, and to have
the oil spread IT the property owners
will supply the oil. 1t would be a
vast benefit to every merchant IN
town and a convenience and econ
omy to every householder to have
the street thus treated, and it is
hoped the plan will be accepted.
If this section is treated, it is aim )st
a certainty that other sections will
adopt it, and the city will of course
do the same part by all the people,
and spread the oil anywhere as di-
rected by the providers.

Poultry Keepers Read This.
Sell. Kill or COnfine the Rooster
Beginning May 23rd. 1914.

Because ROSTERS allowed to
run with laying hens during
warm weather SIS, 900, 600
worth of eggs are lost to the
farmers throughout the United
States each year and most of this
loss occurs during June, July
and August. For this reason
raisers of poultry are earnestly
asked and urged to kill or sell
all matured males or confine them
in pens away from laying hens
during the summer. Eggs that
are laid by hens not mated
are sterile or infertile, and do
not decay. The fertilized eggs
spoil very quickly when sub
jected to the influence of heat
and if they are left too long in
the nests or under broody hens
or are left in any very warm
place the germ cells begin
to develop, the chicks begin to
grow. These growing cells may
die at any stage of development
due to unfavorable conditions.
Whether the embryo dies or
not. the egg is useless as food,
and is unfit for market. If the
wives of the farmers would once
realize how much money they
practically lose by allowing the
rooSterS to run with the
layers, they would Immediately
stop the practice. Not one egg
more is produced with a male
running with a flock Of hens
than without one, and unless the
roosters are valuable IS breeders,
is far peter to dispose of them
at the end of that breeding sea-
son and replace them with the
younger stock the following
spring. If we follow this plan
we can always have good, strong,
vigorous cockerels (young roos-
ters) for breeders. and at the
same time get rid of the care of
non producers. Let us at leaat
make the most of what we
possess.
In order to have concerted
action in this matter the Poultry
Department of the Unitod
States government has desig-
mated the 23rd day Of May to be
kHsirn--aaas1f aSkfy raisers
as Rooster Day., then kill, sell
or confine the roosters.
The well known poultry buy
erS who are members of the
Southern Poultry and Egg Ship
pers Association have agreed
to pava higher price for roos-
ters on that day.

An air Of distinct novelty hardly
