STAPLE FOOD CROPS NEEDED
Enlarged Production Is Greatest and
Most Important Service Required
Of Farmers.

Secretary Of Agriculture Houston, in
urging the planting of heavy acreage
of food and feed crops, emphasizes par
ticularly the practical certainty that
all such crops will bring very high
prices. He says:
"It is obvious that the greatest and
most important service that Is re-
CURED of our agriculture under exist
ing conditions is an enlarged produc-
ton Of the staple food crops. Because
of the shortage of such crops practical
ly throughout the world there is no
risk in the near future of excessive
production such as sometimes has re-
suited in unremunerative prices to pro-
ducers. This is particularly true Of the
cereals and Of peas, beans, cowpeas,
soy beans and buckwheat. In view Of
the world scarcity of food, there is
hardly possibility that the pro-
duction of these crops by the farm
ers Of the United States can be too
great this year, and there is abun-
dant reason to expect generous price
returns for all available surplus"

CIV. H. DALRYMPLE, Louisiana Statfon.)
The sheep ticks or their young may
be found on sheep at all times of the
year, but appear most numerous in the
spring and are especially noticeable
at shearing time on the old sheep after
they have been deprived of their
shelter.
This pest, although it seldom causes
any very serious damage, either to the
sheep or the WOOL is at all times an
annoyance and occasionally causes de-
c1ded losses to the sheep owner, be-
ing blood-sucker and producing con-
siderable irritation, which varies &C
cording to the number Of the ticks
present. Fortunately, these ticks may
be readily destroyed by suitable dips
or dressings; and it would be we'll,
whenever discovered, to have the sheep
treated to prevent the dissemination
of the parasites.
One Of the dipping solutions recon-
mended Is kerosene emulsion, which
may be prepared as follows: Dissolve
one-half pound of common soap in one
gallon Of boiling water. Remove from

PRINCIPAL CAUSE OF scouRs

feeding from dirty pals. or fee1inv
rations the unhardened stolnachs of
the young calves cannot digest, are
the two main causes from which thfs
trouble may arise.
The milk pals cannot be kent foo
clean. Scrupulous care must he oh
served IL the feed pals are not to he
the source or scOurs. Washing after
each feeding with cold water is not
enough; thorough scalding at least
once a day is essential and exposure
to bright sunlight on every clear dav
will not come amiss. Bacteria are
little things, but the way they live
and multiply is remarkable, and the
damage they can do when they get
started assumes mighty proportions.
When the feed is hard to digest and
the first evidence of stomach disorders
appear, dose of physic is the best
cure. A few tablespoonfuls of castor
oil or an equal amount of salts will
remove the offending food and restore
the system to working order again.
A 80 per cent solution of Tornado
hyde has also been found to be an
effective preventive of scours. One
tablespoonful Of fOrmalin is diluted in
one pint of water. A spoonful or two
Of the solution may then be added to
the calf's milk as many times a day
and as long as conditions demand.

GRAIN FOR. PRODUCING cows
Much Depends on Quantity OF MIX
Given and Food Obtained From
Good Pasturage.

Does it pay to feed grain to COWS on
pasture? The results obtained at the
University of Missouri College of Agr1-
culture indicate that IL depends largely
upon how much milk the cows give
and how good the pasture Is. Ii
COW is producing less than pound of
butter each day the necessary food can
he obtained from a good pasture. Ii
she produces more than this some
Grain can be fed probably. This means
that Jersey cow should be able to get
onongh food from grass to make about
20 pounds of milk daily and a Hoisteln
about Is to 80.
It will pay 70 feed grain to all COWS
which give more than this amount,
since high-p-oductng animals cannot
Gather sufficient feed in the form OF
grass. A c,w giving pound ana
half of butter daily should receive
ohont five pounds Of grain daily, ana
one giving two pounds of butter should
,.oceive seven or eight pounds of grain.

SWEET-POTATO ENEMY
Leaf-FoIder Found at Browns
vile, Tex, and in Louisiana.
Field Workers Of Bureau Of EntomoI-
ogy Find Insect Can Be Controlled
by Careful Spraying With
Arsenate Of Lead.

(F'rom the United States Department of
Agricultural
Sweet-potatO growers are warned to
be on the alert against new insect
pest, the sweet-potato leaf-folder,
which was found in 1915 in injurious
numbers in the region of Brownsville,
Tex. 1t has been noted also in LOuisi-
ana. Field workers of the Bureau of
Entomology Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture who have
studied the new pest at Brownsville
found it can be controlled by careful
spraying. Arsenate of lead, used at
the rate of one pound of powder to
30 gallons of water, or zinc arsenate,
used at the rate of one pound of pow
der to 40 gallons of water, were found
effective. These sprays destroyed
from 90 to 90 per cent Of the larvae
on the sweet-potato vines.
The sweet-potato leaf-folder con-
structs a shelter by folding leaf or
drawing two leaves together with silk
which it spins for the purpose. AS 1t
increases in size it devOurs most of the
leaf except the larger veins and mid
rib. In 1915, at Brownsville, Tex, the
pest was first observed about the mid
die of September. BY the middle Of
October the caterpillars had become
so abundant that it was found advis-
able to spray Immediately. When done

SPEED OF STEAM SEPARATOR
Farmers Should BE Careful to Follow
Directions Given by Manufacture

Some tests conducted by the Indiana
station show that much cream may be
lost by not running the cream separa'
tor the proper number Of revolutions.
Farmers should be particular about
following directions of the several
makes Of separators. 1t has been es-
timated that over .95 per cent of the
dafrymen turn their machines too
slowly. The question of speed, there
fore, becomes one of much Importance
and dairymen should look after this
feature of milk and cream handling
with as much carefulness as they do

CHICKS ON A GRAIN RATION
Superior Method for Forcing Growth
and Maturity Of Cockerels-
Mixture for Mash.

Chicks do we'll on a grain ration,
but they do a great deal better when
once they are started on a wet-mash
ration and are fed alternately two
feeds Of wet mash per day with three
feeds of grain, the latter being given
morning, noon and night and the wet
mash being given about ten in the
morning and three in the afternoon.
For forcing growth and maturing
the cockerels for market as quickly
as possible such a method of feeding
is far superior to the ordinary straight
grain ration method. The following
mixture makes very palatable mash:
Equal parts by weight Of cornmeal,
bran, middlings, corn gluten feed and
commercial meat scrap.

the fire, stir in two gallons Of coal oil
and agitate thoroughly until it is emul-
sff1ed. Use one gallon of this emul-
sion to eight Or ten gallons Of cold
water, which should also be well
mixed. Fifty gallons of this solution
will suffice for 30 sheep. Any guam
tity Of this solution may be prepared
by observing the aforementioned pro-
portions.
Any of the coal-tar dips on the mar
ket, such as kreso, etc., will also serve
as dipping solution of about two per
cent strength with water.
Sheep that have been dipped should
not be turned into the old pens or pas
lures until about a week afterward,
by which time it may be presumed that
any ticks left on the ground will
have died. And any sheep recently pur-
chased, especially from the northern
section Of the country, should always
be dipped or otherwise treated before
being turned out among the home
flock, so as to prevent, If possible, the
further Introduction and distribution
Of these parasites.

When not more than four or five
pounds of grain are fed it may consist
Of corn. IF more than this is needed,
some bran or small amount of cotton
seed meal should be added. These
recommendations hold good only when
pastures are good. In late summer it
will often be necessary to feed more
grain to high-producing cows or give
some silage or green feeds to help out
the pastures.

Salary SlaShes Will Not Touch Baseball Stars.

Much of the talk regarding big slashes in the salaries of players i'll the major leagues should be taken with the proverbial grain of salt.
 It is true that major league club owners who were forced to pay sal aries which were exorbitant because of the war with the Feds, will make some cuts where time contracts have expired. They may also make com mensurate reductions in cases where they believe ball players have been overpaid, but the real stars of the game will continue to draw down good money.
 Any time ball player proves to be big drawing card he will be able to demand a big salary, and the future star who is sure of his ability will probably decide that a one-year contract is the best for him after all.
 Salaries that are out of reason are truly q thing of the past, but baseball is on the uphill path again, and with the game prosperous the players will find the club owners as willing as ever to spend their mon py
