EARLY RatChing Pays

The poultry keeper who expects TO
get eggs next winter must have his
chickens hatch early this spring. Il
requires from five to seven months for
a three to five pound hen to mature SO
that she will lay. The hen Of the
heavier breeds, such as Rocks, Reds,
Wyandottes, etc, weighing from FIVE
to eight pounds each, require from one
to three mouths longer.
This is based on the assumption
that the chicks are kept growing well
during the summer months. The
Missouri farmer loses large profits from
winter eggs because he does not give
his young stock sufficient time to
mature before winter sets in. This
prevents his flock being productive
during the winter months.
Uuless a pullet is laying in Decem-
Der it is practically impossible for her
to lay much until February, according
TO experiments al the Missouri agri'
cultural experiment station. This
shows the necessity OF Matching early.
II the hatch is completed by May 18th
there iemaius but seven months in
which to mature the pullets. II win
Ter eggs are expected, the hatch should
be completed before that time. Egg
records show that early laying pullets-
November and December are the
ones that make the high egg yields
and also lay eggs at the time Of the
year when the price is the highest.
Early Matching is important, not
only from the standpoint Of next win
ter's egg yield, but also because the
early-hatched chick comes from strong
er eggs, and the chicks set a start be-
fore extreme hot weather arrives. For
these two reasons the poultry keeper
should exert every energy to get of
the hatch as soon as possible. H. /.
Kempster.

Bird Protection Law Still Effective

Many OF the press comments on the
decision OF the United States District
Court, rendered March 20, at Topeka,
Kansas, holding that the Federal Mig
ratory Birn Law is unconstitutional,
according to the United States De
partment Of Agriculture, are erroneous
and are apt TO mislead the public
concerning the real situation in this
matter.
The Kansas decision, like former
decision to the same effect in the
Eastern District Of Arkansas, is limited
in its operation solely to the district in
which it was rendered. Neither de-
cision settles or nullifes the law, and
the exact contrary has been held by
the United States District Coult for
South Dakota. The Arkansas case
has been appealed to, and is now
pending in, the United States Supreme
Court. The Act Of Congress protect
ing migratory bird: stands effective
until the Supreme Court finally de-
cides the question Of its constitution
ality. In the meantime, it is incum
bent on every law abiding citizen to
observe its provisions and the regu-
lations. 1t is the duty OF the Depart
ment Of Agriculture to enforce this
law and the officials in charge will en-
deavor to do so as long as it is in force.
Reports Of violations will be carefully
investigated and when Sufficient eyi-
is secured they will be reported for
prosecution. In this connection it
should not be forgotten that an offend
er against this, as in the case Of other
United States laws, is subject to prcse.

from the date the offense is commit

In 1876 the per capita production
Of phosphate rock was 9 pounds. In
1918 it was s times that quantity, OF
70 pounds.
A number OF other mineral sub
stances, none OF which were produced
at the time Of the Centennial Exposi'
ton, are nov important factors in our
mineral production, Among the most
important Of these is natural gas, Of
which over 5000 feet per capita are
now consumed annually in the United
States. Others Of these minerals are
nickel, abrasive garnet, pumice, arti-
fetal abrasives, iuller's earth, and mag
nestle, together with the rare earths
and metals, such as thoTium, tungsten,
uranium, and vanadium ores.
The exhibit at San Francisco shows
the quantity Of each Of these substances
produced per inhabitant in 1876 and
the amount in 1918. Each visitor may
therefore view the quantity Of the sew
eral minerals that he may consider his
share, and he will perceive how much
richer he is than his father was in 1876.

Hadley Out For Senate

A formal declaration of his candidacy
for the United States senate was made
by former Governor Hadley in lettel
to William c. Irwin OF Jefferson City
received today. Hadley wrote from
Tucson, Arizona, where he went lol
his health.
/ have never made any secret o.
the fact that l would like to represent
the people OF Missouri in the United
States senate, and I believe l can dc
so 10 their benefit and satisfaction"
said paragraph.
The former governor says he will be
candidate il I belive the majority
of the republicans want me to do SO. -
This letter was written to thank Ir'
win and other Republicans for secur'
ing an indorsment Of Hadley for Uni
States senator at a recent mass meet
ing held at the county courthouse.
Cole county republicans have en-
dorsed two candidates, these being
Walter S. Dickey and Hadley. Dr., J.
P. Borth and members Of the republi-
county committee few weeks ago
adopted a resolution indorsing Dickey
for United States Senator, which Had
ley's friends in Cole county resented.
Friends OF Hadley in Jefferson City
have been advised that he would re-
turn 10 Missouri soon to launch his
fight for heF'senatorial nomination.
During the legislature Jesse A, Tol-
lerton Of Springfield, former game com
missioner, came to Jefferson City to do
some "Hadley for-senator" missionary
work among the republican members.
Dickey was here at the same time, ac'
companied by Chairman Babler OF the
republican state committee upon the
same mission, it is said.

How to Spray for San lose SdaIs

With the approach Of spring every
fruit grower begins to inquire if the
fruit buds are still alive and TO wonder
if they are going to escape the late
irosts, A far more important matter
which he should consider is, whether
his trees are infest d with San Jose
scale. While it is now late TO attempt
to control the pest, with prompt action
there is yet time 10 save many orchards.
When the trees are in leal it is not
possible 10 fight the scale successfully
and by the time the leaves are off
again next fall many valuable trees will
have been destroyed.
The only practical method known for
controlling this pest In the orchard is
spraying with very concentrated solu-
tiors during the dormant season. For
this purpose, either lime sulphur or
one of the soluble oils especially pre-
pared fer controlling it may be used.
First make sure If the scale is present
on the trees and il it is, proceed at
oace to spray. At any time send
samples Of twigs and bark 10 the Agri-
cultural Experiment Staten, Columbia,
Missouri, if you d. not know the scale.
Before the middle Of April the fruit
buds are almost sure to open, so there
is no time TO lose,
For small orchard a barrel sprayer
is sufficient, though for an orchard o!
ten or twenty acres larger outfit is
necessary. In order to hasten matters
simply order the necessary amount Of
commercial lime-5ulphur trough local
merchant. This should be diluted
with water at the rate o! one gallon Of
the solution to about eight gallot 5
OF water before applying it. At
this strength it must Lot be used after
the leaves are out.
While spraying, keep in mind that
the solution you are to use will kill
only those scales which it touches.
Spray thoroughly from all directions so
that every particle OF the tree is COW
cred with the solution.

MiIlet For Hay or SOiIing

Millet does best on the lighter soils
and those that are well drained, loans
and sandy loans giving the largest
yields. Heavy poorly drained soils
are unfit for the crop. The plants are
heavy feeders, and need a full supply
Of plant food for their best growth.
On poor land, finely rotted stable
manure should be plowed down efore
planting.
In the preparation Of the land for
millet, the soil must be made very
fine. Plow the land when it is relativ-
ely moist througout, so as it will not
turn up lumpy, and harrow it until
thoroughly pulverized. 1t is we'll TO
roll the area after planting to make
firm the soil over the seed, and then
TO harrow it lightly to form an earth
mulch and prevent the escape Of
moisture. The seed may be sown
broadcast or drilled.
Millet is Of several kinds, which
is somewhat confusing to the planter.
Japanese millet is very commonly
sown, and is perhaps the bett for soil
ing as we'll as hay. 1t grows TO a
height OF six or seven feet in fertile
soil and produces very heavily. The
seed is best sown in drills, fifteen
inches part, and cultivated two OF
three times, althsugh it may be also
sown broadcast. About fifteen pounds
OF seed is required per acre when
drilled in. and twenty po. nds when
sown broadcast. Pearl millet is
grown 10 less extent. Owing 10 its
great drouth existing qualities, it may
be successfully grown on soils too dry
for other mil cts. 1t may be sown in
drills at the rate Of six pounds per acre
for the same area. German or Colder
millet is a slower grower than othei
millets and does not resist the dr.
spells as well When planted, SOW
one bushel seed per acre. Hungarian
millet, OF Hungarian grass as is genral
ly called, is the most rapid grower o
the milltts and may be planted as lat
as the last Of July which enables tn,
farmer to make use OF land occupied
with many crops. Whether the othe
inillets are sown or not, field Of Hun
garian grass should be planted
Seed broadcast at the rate of one bushe
per acre. The sowing Of any kind o
millet has always repaid growers 70
their trouble. ID. T. H.

Treasury Balance Falls

On March 81 the Treasury Depart
ment showed a balance on hand O
only S35,231,o76. This is in the
face Of the fact that the department is
holding back payment Of many bills
which under ordinary conditions would
be paid as presented. The depart,
ment is obviously trying to stave of
the appearance OF a deficit, But this
cannot be kept up very long. When
the fiscal year ends on June so, the
exact condition Of the treasury will be
be known. Unless the income tax
yields an amount which no shrewd OBJ
server expects the deficit will be fully
as great as that predicted by Mr..
Fitzgerald, chairman Of the House
Committee on Appropriations, some
time ago.
In spite Of the unprecedented post
ponement Of the payment Of bills, the
current treasury balance is SS5,939,
704 less than it was at the same time
in 1914. After allowances have been
made for the change in the method Of
bookkeeping made since~ then, the
balance is $6l.4O9,7lo less than it
was on March 81, 1912. This is in
spite OF the lact that the Congress that
recently ended has found new ways Of
raising taxes. 1t assessed a graduated
income tax, it dispensed with the
$4,000 exemption on corporation taxes
and it levied the so called war tax
But not withstanding this manifold
taxation the difference between re-
ceipts and disbursements has so
steadily narrowed that deficit at the
at the end Of the year is universally
admitted, the only question being as
to its size.
Unless the Underwood act is chang
ed, the deficit will continue to grow,
for under its provisions sugars and
sugar cane will be admitted free on
May ! 1916, at great loss ol revenue
There have been many demands from
Norman E. Mack and the Cincinnati
Enquirer and from divers other Dem
ocratic individuals and publications,
for a general revision Of the Under
wood act, in the interest both OF great
er revenue and Of the protection OF
American industries, stubborness
may prevent the Democrats agreeing
10 general revision, but the necessity
for revenue and the demand OF Demo-
Gratis interested in The sugar industry
will likely cause a repeal Of the sugar
provisions Of the Underwood act. The
change may be made ostensibly in the
interest Of the treasury, but the well
fare Of the industry the Democrats
toolishly sought to cripple will be the
chief reason for the change. Globe
