HENSLAY WELL

Experiment by Agricultural
Experts of Interest to

Washington, May 24-With wheat

to learn that on the United States De-
partment of Agriculture experiment
farm excellent egg laying results were
secured with wheatless ration.
ration has been fed for 1 " years pro-
duced an average of LAT. eggs per hen
for the pullet year.
This compares favorably with egg
yields secured on other .rations con-
tanning the first 6 weeks of it's second
year has averaged 2S.5 eggs per hen,
17.5 eggs per hen being produced in
March.
The same wheatless ration has been
fed since last November to a pen of
Buff Orpington pullets which have
laid 5 eggs per hen in 20 weeks, and
hold the highest egg record of any of
the large feeding pens of pullets at
the farm this year. Two other pens,
however, are less than one egg per hen
behind this pen. -
The ration used was as follows:
Scratch mixture, 2 pounds cracked
corn, 1 pound oats. Dry mash, 8
pounds corn meal. pound beef scrap.
The scratch mixture was fed SPAR
ingly SO that the hens ate about equal
parts of this mixture and of the dry
mash. The total grain consumption of
feed for the year was 81 pounds, of
which 20 pounds was scratch mixture.
Throughout the year 1t took 4.6
pounds Of feed to produce a dozen
eggs
This scratch mixture. with wheat
$2.57, cracked cprn $1.25, and oats 70
cents per bushe1, is 40 cents per hun
dred pounds cheaper than the regular
mixture of equal parts cracked corn.
wheat and oats. Another mash which
is slightly cheaper than this one, is
made of 4 per cent. each bran and
middlings, 26 per cent. beef scrap,
and Sc per cent. corn meal.
If the wheat is omitted from the
ration it is very essential to feed con-
siderable proportion of beef scrap in
the mash. but with present pricSs
beef scrap is one of the cheapest poul-
try feeds, considering it's high protein
content.
These experiments. the specialists
say, prove that wheat is not essential
in an egg-laying ration and that excel
lent results can be secured by using
corn and oats as a scratch mixture
provided this is fed with a good mash
containing 25 per cent. beef scrap.

The Jewish east of Weeks will take
place on Sunday, May 81, commence
ing at shutdown Saturday evening. The
date of the feast is reckoned from the
Feast of Passover. On and after the
second day of Passover which was on
Sunday, April 8 this year, a special
benediction and a varying formula
were inserted into each evening
prayer, SO as to count the passing
days. This ceremony is called The
Counting of the Omer, because during
the existence of the Temple of Jerusa-
lem the counting of these days began
with tn bringing of the first sheaf Gin
Hebrew .Omer') of the barley harvest,
to the Temple, as a wave offering.
When the count reaches 40 days /. e.,
week of weeks, the Feast of Sha-
buoth (Weeks) or Pentecost (the
Greek for 'fiftieth day'') is celebrated.
The feast of Weeks is one of the
three Pilgrimage Festivals. In ancient
times, men would come from all over
the land of Canaan on a. pilgrimage
to the Temple at Jerusalem. Since
this feast marked the end Of the grain
harvests, and the beginning of the
fruit harvest, the pilgrims began to
bring the first ripe fruits of their fields
as a gift to the priests at the Temple.
In modern times there are special hol-
iday services; the synagogues are usu-
ally decorated with plants and flowers
as Renaissance of the ancient agri-
cultural nature of the feast. In the
morning service the Book of Ruth is
read to the congregation. This book
is particularly well chosen for this
occasion because of it's harvest scenes.
and perhaps also because Ruth was a
convert to Judaism rejectingshe Moa-
bite gods and accepting the worship
of the God of Israel; and this day is
considered to be the anniversary of the
day when the Law was given on Mt.
Sinai and Israel accepted God and his
Law. "Shabuoth" therefore besides
being the Feast of harvest Weeks is
also designated as the "Time of the
Giving of our Law!
Since this feast is the anniversary OF
the giving of the Law on Mt. Sinai
Reform congregations in America
have appropriately chosen it as the
day for Confirmation. On the ami
versary of the day on which Israel
accepted the law of God, the young
men and women of Israel accept the
faith and affirm their loyalty to the re-
ligion of their fathers

Interesting Farmers
In Planting Soy Beans

During the last week County Agent
Wright of the Fairfield County Farm
bureau, assisted by Benjamin G.,
Southwick, assistant agronomist, Con-
nectfcut Agricultural college, has been
busily engaged in interesting farmers
in the value and use Of soy beans.
About twenty-five farms were visited
and 15 bushels of soy beans planted.
The soy bean is called San Emergen-
cy Crop for Connecticut and it's great
value is for si1age or summer green,
feed. Many farmers are planting the
soy bean in with their corn, but it
may be planted as a separate crop for
forage.
The Farm bureau has a. supply of
circulars prepared by the Agricultural
stations of the state giving full infor-
nation in regard to the uses for soy
beans, soils and fertilizers, inocula,-
ton, varieties, planting, cultivation
and harvesting. and any person can
get a copy by addressing the Fair
field County Farm bureau, Norwalk.
In addition to the soy bean sown
for silage and forage, Mr.. Wright and
Mr.. Southwick arranged with a NUM-
Der of farmers to plant for a seed
crop. To those doing SO seed was fur
nished free, with the understanding
that record will be kept Of the yield
and that it will be used solely for seed
purposes.
The farms upon which the planting
of the last week was done are largely
| in the vicinity of Wilton and Stam-
ford. Paintings will be made in Long
Fill section and other parts of the
county.
The Connecticut Milk Producers
association is / actively engaged in
reaching those cities Of the county
where the milk producers have not
been fully organized to the end that
| a uniform and adequate price to be
paid dairymen for milk may be agreed
upon.
H. o. Daniels of Middletown and
J. T. Hunt of Ridgefeld during the
last few days, have been devoting
their energies to organizing the pro-
ducers who supply milk to Norwalk.
| The farmers, the dealers and the
public must get together, and the
public can be brought into line by
proper publicity and plain state
ment of facts.
