VENTILATION OF HENHoUsEs
Reason Many Fowls Seek Roasting
Places in Trees Is Because Build
inas Arc Too Warm.

Henhouses need to be ventilated In
the summer time as much as in the
winter time. The reason many hens
go to the trees to roost is because the
house is too warm for them. At least
ten inches Of perch space should be
provided for the fowls, so that they
will not have to crowd; and the more
open the house is during the summer
months the more contented the fowls
viii be. A small hole cut on the north
side Of the poultry house about two
feet OF the floor and left open during
the day and night will do a great deal
to cool the house down and to remove
any foul odors. All windows should be
removed and screens inserted; also the
doors should be left wide open.

SPRAY POTATOES TO
AVOID LATE BLIGHT
Prompt Spraying With Bordeaux
Mixture Will in Most Cases
Be Found Effective.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of AgTiculture)
Potato late blight, a fungous disease,
capable of causing enormous destTuc-
ton, has appeared in several states
from Maine to New Jersey and West
Virginia, according to the United
states department of agriculture. The
blight occurred early this year and re-
ports show that Il is more prevalent
than usual. While in some fields the
blight is already beyond control,
prompt spraying with bordeaux mix
ture will in most cases still be effec-
tive, the specialists advise. Unless po-
tatO growers spray thoroughly with
bordeaux mixture they fear that the
large potato crop that has been prom
ised will not be realized, as late blight,
If uncontrolled, is capable of reducing
the national crop at the rate Of 2,00O,-
900 bushels per day.
To produce a large crop the tops
must be kept healthy till frost as the
tuberS increase in size most rapidly
during the last weeks OF the season.
The late blight kills the tops and
causes the tubers to rot in the ground.

planted. Brown spots develop on the
leaves and a whitish nildew appears
on their under side. Frequent rains
and warm, muggy weather furnish
ideal conditions for the development or

the blight but growers should spray
Immediately and not trust their crops

TO BOOST DARYL
One Hundred HoIstein Heifers
Added to the LeaVenW0rth
County Herds.
ANIMALS WERE SOLD BY LOT
Two Thousand Persons Attend "Get
Acquainted" Picnic-Banker Is
Assisting the Farmers.

One hundred 2-year-o1d Holstein heif-
ers, sold by lot to farmers in Leaven-
worth county, Kansas, were the cen
trail figures in the get acquainted"
picnic at Leayenworth.
But they were by no means the only
feature. Two thousand members of
the County Farm Bureau Association,
Federated Canning Clubs of Leaven-
worth county, Leavenworth CONNER
cia1 Club, and farmers, their wives
and children, made up the crowd. Ad-
dresses on farm topics, dairy and pouI-
try exhibits and horse races between
local entries provided the afternoons
entertainment which followed the bas-
ket dinner in Leavenworth's Associa-
ton Park.
Although the picnic was first
planned as an outing for members of
the county canning clubs-which have
increased in number from three to six
teen in a year-the meeting became
broader in scope when the farm bu-
reau and the Commercial Club were
) kiven permission to take part. Then
the plan for the distribution of dairy
cattle at this time was made.
Of course there was one man behind
the idea. The story of this unusual
dairy beginning in Leavenworth coun-
ty is the story of plans fostered for
several months by Otto H. Wulfekuh-
Ter, president of the Wulfekuhler
State Bank of LeavenwOrth-a man
known throughout Kansas as the ia
Their" of the Kansas Farmer Dairy
Club, which has grown from a small
beginning made by Mr.. Wulfekuhler in
LeaVenworth county in May, 1916, to
a statewide organization.
Last May Mr.. Wulfekuhler deter
mined to aid in developing the dairy
business in LeavenWorth county
Later he bought one hundred Hol
stems in Dickinson county at cost
of more than $1,000. These heifers
graded and distributed to farmers the
other day, were sold at cost, the best
stock going at a little less than $125
q head. All the heifers will be fresh
within the next three months.
Notes at per cent interest, pay
able in eight months, were taken from
the buyers Only one condition of sale
was made-the cow and calf must be
taken to Leavenworth next spring to
a public auction at which the stock
will be sold.
