slides in the country. State fairs, at which southern grown animals, the equals of northern grown, were exhibit ed, have been a great factor in the ed- ucational campaign. Introduction of northern pure breds without loss by death, and their continuance to thrive has gone far in destroying the old illu- sion that the south was not a cattle country. The successful eradication of ticks and the rearing of pure breeds as far south as lower Mississippi has ef- fectually banished the notion that ticks cannot be eradicated in the southern countries and that the climate was unfit for cattle.
 Luxuriant growths of alfalfa. lespe- deza, COW peas soy beans, mellilotus. Johnson grass, Bermuda grass and corn or peas all best used as forage. have convinced the skeptic that food is abun- dant. The silo and improved methods of curing hay have demonstrated that forage can be carried over from season to season and that the cattle need suf- fer no effect in their growth on account of seasonal changes. Gradually, one by one, the false ideas of cattle raising detrimental to south farm husbandry. are being corrected within and adjacent to the new tick-free territory.

Need Fowls and Eggs

Herbert Hoover makes this appeal to the producers of poultry and eggs in the United States:
 "We are short of red meat. Our sol diers and our allies require more than ever before. We are advocating in every household and every from. It restaurant in this country the substi- tuition of poultry for red meat.
 Increased production of poultry can be effected much faster than beef, pork and mutton.
 While we want increase in all meats, we must have a quick response in poultry and poultry products. There is a great waste of poultry feeds from every hourshold and eevry farm. It requires little labor. Cannot the poul- try raisers of the country help us by providing the increased supply we need?"

Potash From Cement Dust

That between 71,000 and 75.O00 tons of available recoverable potash. about one third of the quantity normally consumed in the United States, exists in the dust passing through or retained in the fIues of the cement manufacturing plants of the country is indicated by analy- sis made by the bureau of soils of the United States department of agriculture. according to a recent publication, de- partment bulletin 572. By increasing the percentage of potash volatilized, by the addition of substances which will not affect the quality of the cement, the re coverable potash in flue dust can be in- creased to more than 100000 tons an- nually, or nearly one-half of the nor nal consumption of potash in the United States, according to the bulle- tin.
 Numerous plants have installed cleo trical precipitation equipment to re- cover the flue dust, and are finding the installations good investments. the bull letin declares. Some plants are recoy- ering g per cent of the potash present
 in the raw materials fed into the fur naces.
 The dust recovered in the flue stacks connecting kilns, and precipitation ap- paratus itself is about il per cent pot ash. The dusts may be used as source of cement material may be disposed of as collected for use as a fertilizer or in fertilizer manufacturing, or may be leached to prepare concentrated potash salts.

Tomato Decay

rot of green and ripe tomatoes was found to be quite prevalent in to- mato fields of the south last season. and probably exists in other gulf states. Dark brown spots appeared on the fruit. often showing concentric rings or zones and rather firm to the touch. A central point-the size of a pinhead-is sometimes present, show ing where infection took place. In more advanced stages the fruit cracks and the broken surface is covered with a thick brown, cottony mat of the fungus which Is the cause of the dis ease.
 Only fruit touching the ground or close enough to become spattered with soil particles by rain water becomes infected
 Some of the growers have asked tho question. How can one determine be- fore setting out a field whether the soil is infected?' Tests have been made in order to answer this ques- tion and as result the following is recommended by the United States de- partment of agriculture.
 Take samples of soil from different parts of the field to be tested and fill several pots or small flats with it These are planted with tomato seed kept at growing temperatures and watered when necessary. Two or three weeks after planting the seed lings are pulled up and examined at the point where the seeding stem emerges from the ground or a little below that point. Where the soil is infected the seedlings at the above mentioned points will show distinct brown lesion or canker. In severe cases complete girdling of the stem takes place and dries up at that point, causing it to fall over in the pot or flat. Seedlings grown in healthy soil will not exhibit these symptoms
 Where soil Is found to be badly in- fected it is advised that the plants be staked, so as to prevent the fruit from lying on or near the surface of the soil.

Increased Wheat Yields

Reports of the United States depart ment of agriculture and state agrcul- tural colleges cooperating in improved methods show that in 1916 there was an increase of 3S,364 bushels of wheat on 4S00 acres where these methods were followed. This increased yield will make at least two and fourth mill lion one-pound loaves of bread.
 In six states where 135 wheat growers conducted demonstrations by using se- lected varieties of seed. the yield on 3343 acres was increased 1S,854 bushels The greeding and selection of special varieties of wheat adapted to particu- lar regions or localities is one of the most important items in the experi- ment programmes for producing in- creased yields. When these varieties have been determined 1t simply remains for the farmers to secure the adopted variety for seeding. The intelligent use Of commercial fertilizer treating seed grain for smut, the fallow system in some dry land areas of the west, and the growing of peas in the place of sum- mer following in other western sec tions were also included in the suc- cessful programme used by county agents in these states last year. Re ports from eastern Washington show very successful results in growing peas after wheat. The wheat crops after peas were increased in yield, and the pea crop itself was valuable
 If these improved methods had been applied throughout these fl state gen. erally, instead of upon a limited num- Der of farms where tests were made and the same rate of increase had held the increased wheat yield upon the same acreage would have produced consid- erably enlarged bread supply.

If We Only Get a Chance

No one can foretell the future, but we are disclosing no secret, writes the editor of the Scientific American, when we say that, if our battleship line should ever range up against the enemy, he will be treated at the longest ranges to a storm of fire which, in rapidity, ac- curacy and the uncanhy way in which it clings to it's ever shifting objective, will be most uncomfortable surprise to the enemy. For it is a fact that the methods of mounting, fire control, etc. which have been adopted and perfected in our navy, have raised our target practice to point of accuracy, even at the longest ranges, which has never been reached in our own, or. probably. in any other navy.

One Boys Influence

little boy in Graves county, Ken lucky, is responsible for that county having an agricultural agent, pure bred live stock association, and a conse- quent improvement in general agricul- tural conditions
 report of the state agent in charge of boys agricultural clubs to the United States department of agriculture says that two years ago he received letter from Earl Gary, little boy at Mayfield. Ky, expressing desire to join the boys corn club and so win his way to the state fair. The state agent went to the town in response to this letter and as- sisted the boy in securing the necessary numbers of members to organize a club. The state agent called on the county school superintendent to interest him in the boys plan. The school superintend- ent became interested in the work of a county agent, and the conservation re- suited in Graves county securing an agri- cultural agent. In turn that resulted in the organization of purebred live stock association. of which the little boy was charter member.
