HOW TOFEED YOUNG TURKEYS
Thanksgiving and Christmas Markets

(By Richard n. Crane, Division of FIX.

Young turkeys should be fed but fed
sparingly as soon as they are strong
enough TO stand up and come out from
under the mother turkey.
They should be fed on the yolks OF
,hard.boiled eggs for the first two or
three days. after which time their feed
should consist OF equal parts Of egg.
bread. cottage cheese and finely
eAopped-up onion tops and onions.
For the first four or five weeks they
should be fed at regular intervals of
two or three hours, after which time
shey should be allowed free range with

every night on equal parts OF wheat

It is important here to distinguish
clearly between a woodlot aud a wood
I'd pasture. In many regions the
wooded pasture is exclusively thought
Of and known as the woodlot Il gen
orally consists OF a very open stand ut
mature and oyermature trees, The
absence of seedlings and larger repro
duction forcibly suggests the condition
OF a town made up wholly of aged
people Each will become extinct by
the passing away of the present gener-
alton. The wOOdlot should contain
trees of different ages with the young
err ones we'll represented Further, il
should be fully stocked with the most
useful kind of trees The main points
by which to judge the latter are the
intrinsic value OF wood for farm uses
and the rate Of growth.
Pastured WoodIots Ruined.
Pasturing a woodlot, unless care.
fully controlled, destroys the valuable
protective leaf mulch Of the forest

seedlings and sapplings, II continued
as a steady practice heavy pasturing
In hardwood stands viii inevitably dc
stroy the woodlot. The worth Of the
forage growing in good woodlot IS
very small indeed, since the trees will
be so close-spaced and very little sun

and, generally speaking, il is hest To
keep stock out
Fires should be rigidly excluded At
all times A single lire, removing the
protective leaves and litter may cut
down the subsequent Increase of the
timber by as much as 30 TO ~ per cent
during the next few years.
II would be we'll if every farmer
would select and set aside a certain
part OF the farm as permanent wood
lot. AS a matter merely Of convent
ence and the saving of time and un.
necessary expense in the future, a
woodlot will be needed on practically
every farm Repair timber is some
times needed on the farm at a time
when a trip to town would mean a
costly delay. Incidentally small
amounts of high.grade logs can be
grown, which should bring a good
price. The area TO be devoted To the
permanent woodlot will vary usually
from about 10 per cent in regions OF
good soil and high land value TO % per
cent or more where the soil is less
uniformly fertile and part of the sur.
face steep or rough.

Better Farming in the South
That. THE CROPS ARE ASKING FOR
Properly Soil Up Instead 81 Run Down
Increasing Yields

bear in mind that the best way he caS
fight the boll weevil is to force his
cotton to a quick growth and to an
early maturity. Many farmers IN the
boil weeyil district. are nAAing that
peanuts and soy beans are splendid
substitutes for cotton. Unless these
crops are we'll fertilixsd, however, with
The fertilizer carrying high percentage

expected
How TO Tell What Is Necessary
The farmer can oftsAtinss deter
mine the element most needed IN his
fertilizer by noting the maAner OF
growth Of cotton on his d&srsHt soil

applied in rather large amounts. IL,
however, tho plants look vigorous, but
arc not truirinE well. phCsphoTte acid
should be used Literally.
Generally speaking, for Boar soils, the
most important eiemsnt Of fertilizer
il nitrogen, and the next NEST import,
ant is PHOSPHORUS. Therefore, for
poor soils we would recommend under
present war conditions, which makes
potash scarce, a fePtiAzer for cotton
and corn sualyzing about , per cent
available phcsphoric acid and 8 per
cent ammonia and per ceat potash.
For peanuts II per cent phosphorlc
acid. . per cent Ammonia aza 2 per

recommend for cottcn and eern, aier'
tilizer analyging IL per cent available
phosphoric acid, per esst Ammonia
and per cent potash, and for peanuts,
a fertilizer analyEing II yer cent phos'
phoric acid, l ID per cent ammonia
and > per cent potash. Pr the sandy

The reason that Rstrogsa OF ammo

tically all soils is because the nitrates
are soluble in water, saa are, there

land. The farmers should Try to store
up as much nitrogcn IN the soil az
possible by growing such crops as
beans, peas, clover, vetehss, etc, which
plants add nitrogen to the soil from

Spring To- the problems of soil build,
ng and 10 the intelligent use Of fer
tiizcrs than ever before Some OF
the best farmers of the South have
adopted The plan Of returning 10 the
soil i'm fertilizers, the money received
from an or part Of their cottonseed.
This lis a good plan and should be
moro generally adopted
Enough Plant Food for Best Yields
II takes from 800 pounds to 400
pounds Of fertilizer to make a good
weed in cotton, or a good stalk in
corn. and unless amounts above these
are used iul returns cannot be ex-
pected because large amounts must be
applied to produce the fruit and the
grain.
The amount Of fertilizer that can
be used probably will vary with the
different soil types, seasons and with
the different crops grown, The most
important factor, however, governing
the amount of fertilizer that can be
used with profit is the price of the
article produced AT The present price
Of cotton, it will pay to use on most
Of the soil types Of the South larger

SACRIFICE or GOLD AND JEWELS

tung of Berlin prints prominently an
appeal by the President Of the German
Imperial Bank for all German men
and women to sell their gold valuable
to the Imeprial Bank and dispose of
all jewels held by them in neutral
countries through a diamond agency.
The appeal says the sacrifice Of gold
and jewels which the bank demands
forms part of the necessary supply
work, but that all classes do not yet
fully recognize the necessity Of this
further sacrifice.
The President in his appeal adds
that he does not yet need to demand
the sacrifice of gold ornaments of
especial historical, artistic or ethical
interesa, but he does require all gold
ornaments outside this category.
