creased by approximately 30 per cent
in the first six months of this year

Figures on March 4, May l and June

banks of $52.Ol2,25761. The average

Figures for the same period this

These figures were made by taking

body, there can be little or no growth
SO long as such a condition continues.
The time and the labor of the pOul-
tryman, as well as the feed consumed,
are thus practically wasted in the pres.
ence of chicken mites.
During the summer every precau-
ton should be taken to keep the pens
and roosting places free from mites.
This is not difficult matter. The
mite is very small parasite, bare
ly perceptible with the unaided eye.
When not g9rged with chicken blood
it is light-cOlored. 1t becomes red
when it has gorged itself with chicken
blood. For this reason it is sometimes
called the red" mite. But this pest
is so delicately constructed that it can
be easily destroyed by spraying with
kerosene or whitewash.

CONTROL OF CHICKEN MITES
Unsatisfactory Growth in Summer May
Be Caused by vermin-Destruc-
tive Work at Night.

When well fed and otherwise prop
erly managed, chickens do not always
make satisfactory growth in summer.
There is a cause for this which may
be wholly unsupported. 1t is likely to
be due to the presence Of chicken
mites.
This pest is blood-sucking para
site. 1t harbors under the perches, in
cracks, and in other places. Its Ge-
structive work is done at night. When
the chickens are at roost the mites
crawl from their hiding places on to
the birds. They gorge themselves with
blood much the same as a mosquito
does, and then crawl back to their hid
ing places.
If this pest is not discovered 1t
multiplies into millions in few weeks
of hot weather.
If the mites become numerous, they
will suck more blood from chicken
in a single night than the chicken can
produce the next day from the diges-
ton and assimilation of the most nour-
fishing food. And since the blood car
ries the assimilated food for the

1t is just about as easy to make
jelly from apples, ounces, peaches, or
pears as from any other kind of fruit.
II you know how. according to Miss
Addie u. Root of the Missouri College
of Agriculture. All that Is necessary
is to add enough tartaric or citric acid
to the juice to make 1t taste about as
sour as IL good sour apple. This usu-
ally means about level teaspoOnful

with the juice by heating If jelly is
to be made. That is why jelly-makers
do not simply press out the juice from
cold fruit. All apples ana similar
fruits hav" enough pectln for Jelly
making purposes.
In making apple jelly cover the
fruit with water before cooking and
boil 20 or 30 minutes. After boil
ing has continued 10 or Is minutes,
add thre"-Quartcrs Of n cupful of sugar
for every cupful of juice. The sugar
that will he required should have been
measured into n pm and warmed in

1t should be carefully stirred in to pre-,

AS soon as the glasses are filled
with tn" hot jelly they should be set In

They should be sealed from the air
but If the jelly has been slightly over
cooked it may be covered with panes
of glass and allowed to harden in the
sun. When it is well set pour hot par

HOW TO USE A HOE

So many people have q horror of
using q hoe. 1t is the most comforta-
BILE implement to be found In the
equipment Of a gardener or farmer.
1t is 80 handy to use for so many pur-
poses that one cannot get along with
out it.
Probably one reason that people do
not like a hoe Is that most hoes ex-
plain at once how dull as hoe" came
into proverbial use.
A dull hoe is certainly not pleasant
implement with which to work. The
good gardener will keep his favorite
hoe filed to sharp edge all the time.
It is impossible to grind a hoe on a
grindstone because the level must be
on the upper side of the blade when
1t Is in use. in order to make the hoe
bite" into the soil.
File your hoe, making the bevel
about twice as wide as the thickness
of the blade. Then keep it bright,
and when you go out after weeds the
hoe slips through the soil SO easily
that hoeing is not much like hard
work
In hoeing, a long. slow movement
should be made. II the soil is in good
condition. Simply scouting" half an
inch Of the top soil is enough to kill
weeds, and one can go over a lot of

Hunters Must Obey U. s. Laws.

Colorado sportsmen and ornitholO-
gists venture the opinion that. with
the ratification by Congress of the mi
gratory bird treaty with Great Brit
ain, the four years contention and
dissension over the federal migratory
bird law is at an end. There will be
nothing to do in the future. the sports
men say, but to obey the federal law.
whose conflict with the Colorado law,
particularly in the matter of ducks.
has always been a thorn in the hunt
er's side. w. B. Fraser, state game
and fish commissioner, agrees with
this sentiment. AS in the past hi
wardens will enforce only the Colo
RADIO statute. but he warns hunters
that if they break the federal law
they sCertainly will be caught. Tho
federal law is placed in a new light
in view of the treaty with Great Brit
ain, the first pact of. its kind eve-
negotiated. under which the United
States and Canada agree on migrator,
bird protection. This makes the law
international in scope. and the ratili.
fication of the treaty is taken to
mean that, under the federal constitu.
ton, all states are bound to aid in the
enforcement of the law. The Colora-
do law sets Sept. / as the beginning
of the open season on ducks, which e>.
tends into the middle of spring. The
recently revised federal law sets Sept
to Dec. 20 as the open season.

ABOUT BULB PLANTING
BY L. NJ. BENNINGTON.

When should bulbs be planted? Is a
question often asked. Bulbs should be
put into the ground as soon as they
Is generally in September or October.
The impression prevails to II large
extent that bulbs can he planted any
time during the fall That Is. that II
is safe to put them out any time be-
fore the ground freezes.
This is n mistake which grows out
of lack of knowledge of the plant
habits.
A bulb makes an annual growth of
roots during the fall. These are the
roots which support 1t next spring
while 1t is blooming.
Unless this root growth Is com.
plcted in the fall 1t will give n crop
of inferior flowers. as the incomplete
work of autumn will be taken up where
1t was interrupted by cold weather
and carried on to completion while the
plant Is trying to produce Il crop OF
flowers.
This makes it attempt to do double
duty on slender stock of vitality
Lnte planted bulbs. therefore. should
always give us inferior flowers, and
often none Mt all.
This explains why 1t Is advisable tC
plant bulbs rs early in the fall as pos
slble. Give them ample time to de
velop their roots before cold weather
puts an end to the work OF the season
IL you want them to give you the
lowers next spring.

Prices Make Up Loss in Yield.

Crop experts who have been anaIyz
ing conditions throughout the state
find cause for congratulation in the
yield. This is particularly true in the
nonirrigated sections where farmers
who carefully followed scientific soil
tillage methods are producing fair
crops, amounting to so to 65 per cent
OF the normal. The potato crop will
approximate 100000 bushels, about
100000 less than last year. There
Is considerably reduced acreage, but
the short yield will be offset by the
higher prices.
