firm; if they are to last the consumer several days, some should be picked hard ripe and others beginning to ripen. No ill-shaped, split, curly, wormy, or otherwise defective toma- toes should be shipped for eating pur- poses.
 It is desirable that fruit shipped should be fairly uniform in size unless it is to meet special requirements of the customer. If shipped with other fruits or vegetables, tomatoes should be so packed that nothing else can mash them.
 Green Corn (Sugar).
 The sooner sugar corn is eaten after gathering, the better it's eating quality. No inferior ears should be shipped. All should be well developed, free from worms. and gathered at the proper stage of development that is, in full milk, but before showing any signs of firmness or toughness
 Lettuce (Head).
 Consumers prefer firm, well-headed lettuce. It should be we'll developed, and the heart turned white before cut ting. It is best to ship only lettuce which is free from dirt, and no dis carded, insect-damaged, or imperfect heads should be included.
 Lettuce (Loose LeaD.
 Some varieties of lettuce do not pro- duce heads but instead loose clus- n cb ha of good size, but tender and crisp. Trim off the outside, discolored, and otherwise unattractive leaves. Lettuce should be dry when packed.
 Peas.
 Growers should allow peas to ma ture properly; but, of course, consum- CTS do not want hard, ripe peas. They should be cccl and dry when picked and packed to avoid heating and mold ing. Immature, dirty, or defective pods should be discarded.
 Root Vegetables.
 Root vegetables, such as beets, car rots, parsnips and turnips, should be tender, fresh, sound, washed clean and of desirable size. No overgrown, stringy, coarse or undersized stock should be marketed.
 Spinach and kaIe.
 Spinach and kale should be free ffom sand, dirt and insects. They should be of good green color, without yellow, decayed leaves, or seed stalks, and of proper size according to the season and the market supplied.
 "Bunched" Vegetables.
 Some vegetables, such as radishes, onions, new beets, carrots, turnips, salsify, watercress and parsley, are tied in punches for marketing. Occa- sionally it may be desirable to bunch them for parcel-post marketing, aS shown in the illustration.
 Punched" vegetables should be of proper size, according to the season and the market custom. and should be neatly and carefully punched. The number in each bunch varies on the different markets and according to the kind of vegetables. The first five

For packing, cucumbers should be of the size desired by the customer, such as ''midgets,' the very small ones two-inch, three-inch, dill-pickle size.
 Eggplant.
 Eggplant should be cut when the fruits are of proper size, but should not be allowed to become tough. Un- desirable sized, off-color, wilted. or de- fective ones should be discarded. The fruit should be wrapped in paper and carefully packed.
 Tomatoes.
 Great care should be taken in pick ing. handling and packing tomatoes, 80 that they do not get bruised, cracked or mashed. They should be picked without stems to avoid the bruising or other fruit by the stems when packed. if they are for immedi. ate use, they should be ripe. but very

QUESTION FOR LAMB FEEDER
Must Find Most Economical coneen- trate to Be Used in FatteninQ
 His Young Animals.

| (By J. B. MNULTY. Colorado Agricultur- al College. Fort Collins. Colo) The question which the man who
 would be a successful lamb breeder
 must solve is that of the most econom- | ical concentrate to @ used in fatten-
 ing his lambs. The fact that most
 feeders are using alfalfa for rough
 age simplifies tn problem consider | ably. Alfalfa supplies the protein, and
 when fed with fattening concentrate, such as corn or barley, reduces to the | minimum the amount of feed required | for a pound gain. Experiments prove
 that corn is just trifle better, pound | for pound, than barley, when both are fed in connection with one of the leguminous hays, such as clover or al- ! falfa
 There is little data on the economy of feeding corn alone with upland or | timothy hay or with corn stover. This | is due to the fact that such ration
 would not contain enough protein. | Doubtless barley would somewhat ex-
 eel corn, pound for pound. when fed
 with roughages lacking protein. Whole | barley may be fed very successfully to fattening sheep.
 | The fact that cottonseed meal can | be purchased for price comparing | favorably with that of corn has sug- | gested the feeding of this concentrate
 with alfalfa hay for fattening lambs.
 In this combination, however, we have two feeds high in protein and conse- quently an unbalanced ration. Oil
 meal or cottonseed meal can be fed quite extensively with timothy hay and
 roots. in which combination either will
 give very good results
 Few records ol sheep fattened on
 cottonseed meal and alfalfa are avail
 able, for, as rule, proten-rich feeds
 (alfalfa and oil meaD are the most
 expensive nutrients of a ration and are
 not usually combined. It is very prob-
 able, however, that some cottonseed
 meal can be fed when alfalfa is fed, if
 we use mixed ration of corn and cot tCnseed meal. The best proportion
 would perhaps he one-third cottonseed
 meal and two thirds corn, either shelled or cracked. This combination should give good results and at the same time be much less conducive to digestive
 disorders than a ration of cottonseed meal and alfalfa.

meal, salt, powdered charcoal beets, ensiage and alfalfa.
 Three years ago when K. P. Pontiac Lass established her record it was be- lieved by breeders that the record would never be equaled. but as time went on and 40-pound cows became more numerous, it became evident that there was much chance for progress Since the sensational performance of this new butter queen, breeders are equally as certain that at no distant day the Holstein-Friesian breed will produce a 50-pound COW.
 The rules observed in the official tests of dairy cows are: A large. roomy stall, light blanketing, thorough grooming cows exercised each day, water always before them, fed four times each day, mixed four times, and the animal allowed plenty of time to rest by so arranging the work that nothing interferes with the quietness of the stables.

FEED DRY COWS AND KEEPERS
Building Up Frames and Giving Con- sttutional Vieor to Calves Is
 True Foundation.

The feeding of the dry cows and heifers that must )uild up the frames and give constitutional vigor to the young calves, is the true foundation of improved dairy cows. Yet the aver age dairyman feeds his pregnant COWS and heifers the refuse of his farm The best hay, wheat bran and linseed oil meal is fed to cows that are giving milk. The very elements that arc needed by the COW at this period are withheld
 Carbonaceous foods, which give heat and fat, are but little needed to SUD- ply nourishment to the fetus. Simple material to build up bone, muscle and blood, during the rapid growth and development is needed to nourish the unborn calf.

sulphur are used to control the scab, poison the codling moth and curculio
 third and even fourth application will be a great help to control out breaks of scab, sooty blotch, black rot, cedar rust, apple blotch. etc. By all means one should spray about the mid dle of July for the second brood of the codling moth which appears about this time or little later.
 Bitter rot is very troublesome in the western end Of the state. Where it is causing damage it may be neces- sary to start spraying about the first of July and continue until the middle of August. Bordeaux mixture is more effective in controlling this trouble than lime-sulphur. The arsenate of lead may be added to the bordeaux when spraying for the codling moth and thereby save time.
 Green aphis has caused considerable loss during the past two seasons and will very likely appear again. Exam inc the trees from time to time, and if the leaves begin to roll, look on the under side for the aphis. If they are present, spray the trees with Black Leaf 40," using three-quarters of pint to 100 gallons of water. To this mix ture add three pounds of dissolved soap in order to make the material spread more rapidly.

go, will kill great many of the bugs In early summer chinch bugs work first in the wheat fields, migrating tc the corn fields when the wheat is cut. They may be killed most easily while thus moving from one field to another, since they do not fly readily at this time, and may be checked by a bar Tier of some kind and killed after they have assembled along the bar rier. The best barrier is a line of road oil, No. z, run along narrow strip of earth hoed between the migrating bugs and the corn fields. Post holes dug at intervals along this line of oil will serve as traps to catch the bugs as they trail up and down the barrier. They may easily be killed wholesale as they gather in the post holes. When the weather is very dry dust mulch made by dragging a log up and down plowed strip will check the bugs, but a sprinkle of rain will make such a barrier useless. (For fuller details about the chinch bug, see Farmers Bulletin 657)
 The Hessian fly looks like a little mosquito. The damage is done by the maggot, which as it grows becomes embedded in the wheat stalk. The fly cannot be destroyed in the growing wheat, either in fall or spring. One way to fight the fly is by burning

 Apple orchards must be sprayed ev- cry year against the apple-scab disease and against the curculio and codling moth. Bordeaux mixture or lime-sul- phur may be used in controlling all of the diseases that work on the leaves and fruit. For the early sprays it is probably safer to use the lime. sulphur mixture in order to avoid any danger of russeting the young fruit. Arsenate of lead should be used for poisoning the curculio and the codling moth and all other insects which bite and eat the leaves of the fruit.
 The first summer spray for control ling scab Is given at the time when the clusters of flower buds have sepa- rated, but before the flowers them selves have opened out. This is known as the "cluster bud spray" The sec ond very necessary application should be given as the petals of the flowers begin to fall This is the spray that is given for the control of the codling moth. For this application and for the scab or cluster bud spray use lime sulphur at the rate of IF gallons to 50 gallons of water, to which add three pounds of lead arsenate Bordeaux mixture may be substituted for the lime-sulphur, if the grower so desires. The bordeaux mixture and the lime

may be checked when marching" from one field to another by scatter ing this mixture in front of them. The bran bait will be eaten greedily while damp, but hardly at all when dry. It is therefore important that the bait be scattered in the evening, or better yet, at early daylight.
 Cutworms may also be killed by the use of the bran bait. Scatter it about the hills of corn.
 The corn root-aphis is perhaps the worst insect pest of the corn-belt corn field. The aphis lives almost entirely upon the roots of the young corn. be- ing carried from place to place by the common field ants, which keep and herd the aphis as a sort of domestic animal for the ''honeydew" it secretes. The eggs of the aphis are kept over winter in the nests of the ants. Rota, tion is the best means of fighting the aphis, as it does not feed on small grain or legumes. However, if an in- fested ielu must be planted to corn a second year, the aphis may be checked by deep blowing and disking during very late fall or winter This breaks up many of the ants nests, de- stroying both ants and aphis eggs.
