Early Matching Pays.
By H. L. Kemster.

The poultry keeper who ex-
poets to get eggs next winter
must have his chickens hatch
early this spring. 1t requires
from five to seven months for a
three to five pound hen to ma
ture 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 months 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.
Unless a pullet is laying in De-
cember it is practically impossi
bic for her to lay much until Feb
ruacy according to experiments
at the Missouri Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station. This shows
the necessity of Matching early.
If the hatch is completed by May
18th there remains but seven
months in which to mature the
pullets. If winter eggs are ex-
pected, the hatch should be COM
pleted 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 years winter egg yield but
also because the early Matched
chick comes from stronger eggs,
and the chicks get a start before
the extreme hot weather ar
rives. For these two reasons
the poultry keeper should exert
every energy to get off the hatch
as soon as possible.

How to Spray For San Jose Scale

How to Spray For San Jose Scale.
By Leonard Haseman.
With the APPROACH of spring
every fruit grower begins to in
quire if the fruit buds are still
alive and to wonder if they are
going to escape the late frosts.
A far more important matter
which he should consider is the
question of whether or not his
trees are infested with San Jose
Scale. While it is now late to
attempt to control the pest, with
prompt action there is yet time
to save many orchards. When
the trees are in leaf it is not pos
sible to fight the scale success
fully and by the time the leaves
are off again next fall many val
liable trees will have been de-
stroyed.
The only practical method
known for controlling this pest
in the orchard is spraying with
very concentrated solutions dur
ing the dormant season. For this
purpose, either lime-sulphur or
one of the soluble oils especially
prepared for controlling it
may be used. First make
sure if the scale is present on
the trees and if it is proceed at
once to spray. At any time send
samples of twigs and bark to the
Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, Columbia, Missouri, if you
do 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 a small orchard a barrel is
sufficient, though for an orchard
of ten or twenty acres a larger
outfit is necessary. In order to
hasten matters simply order
the necessary amount of COM
mercial lime-sulphur through a
local merchant. This should
be diluted with water at the rate
of one gallon to about eight gal
Ions of water before applying it.
At this strength it must not be
used after the leaves are out.
When 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 covered
with the solution.

Large Profits From Missouri Or
chards.

Large Profits From Missouri Or
chards.
A profit of $161.00 an acre
from apples is an exceptionally
good showing. One former
made that in 1918 but increased
it to 100000 an acre in 1914
This was not on western fruit
lands either. These profits were
made in Missouri by a Missouri
farmer working under the d.
rection of the Missouri Agricul-
tural Experiment Station. The
full details are given in Bulletin
l24, profits From Spraying Mis-
souri, Orchards" which has Just
been issued by the Station.
In 1913 as a result of an APP
preparation made by the 47th
General Assembly the Univer-
sity of Missouri started cooper
ative spraying experiments with
several Missouri orchardists.
The work was somewhat limited
during this season because of
the funds becoming available
late in the spraying season. Some
work was started however and
the orchard mentioned above was
one Of these. The first season
the owner received an income of
$685. an acre on his unsprayed
trees an a profit due to spraying
OF S161.12 an acre on his sprayed
trees.
The spraying was continued in
this orchard in 1914 and it was
in the season Just past that over
$4,000 an acre were made. This
increase was due to very effect
i've spraying and shows the pos
sibilities in good spraying. This
is an example Of only one of the
orchards sprayed.
During 1914 twenty-five or
chards were sprayed under the
supervision of the University.
More than $50 people were
taught how to spray. The aver
age profit per acre due to spray
ing for the twenty-five orchards
was $143.03. The value of the
fruit from unsprayed trees,
averaged $18,05 an acre. The
name of the owner and the To-
cation Of every orchard where
cooperative spraying was done,
together with full information
regarding the details of how
each orchard was sprayed is CIV

Discing Land Before Flowing.

DlSclng Land Before Flowing.
The discing of stalk or stubble
land before blowing is one of the
most important practices in the
handling of soils. The recent
droughts have emphasized its
Importance. Each year larger
numbers of farmers are follow
ing this practice which has been
recommended and used by the
Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment Station. The discing of
land before blowing is one of the
things which all farmers but
particularly those located on
high priced corn belt land should
practice. Some men have found
1t profitable to disc blue grass
sod, but the practice has it's
greatest advantage when ap-
piled to stalk and stubble land.
The soil will absorb water when
1t is disced before blowing. This
has been a very important point
In recent years when the soil has
been rarely soaked with water.
The more water stored in the
soil, when the crops are put in,
the larger will be the return if
the season is dry. The thorough
mixing of the stalks, stubble and
other surface organic matter
with the soil, which results from
the discing, is very advanta-
geous. On stalk land particular
ly the weighted disc takes the
place of the stalk cutter and this
at the same time thoroughly
mixes the organic matter with
the soil. A disc may also be used
to cut up green manure crops
before turning them under and
brings about a more thorough
mixing of this organic matter
with the soil. One of the funda-
mental principles in blowing any
land is to thorough mix the
organic matter with the surface
soil, and this is greatly favored
by discing in advance of the
pillow.
Land with a pulverized sur
face can be turned with a pillow
In such a way as to give a much
better seed bed than where the
discing is not done. The land
plows more easily and the pull
verization is at the same time
more thorough. The disc har-
row is one of the most valuable
farm implements and it's use
in advance of the pillow is just as
important as its use following
the pillow.
