Is Greatly Important.

New York, July 23.-The announce ment that Siam has declared a state of war with Germany carries greater significance than might at first be supposed, according to a statement here today by John Barrett. director of the Pan-American union and form erlv United States minister to Siam
 Slams chief importance in the present war crisis is that it is prac- tically the rice granary or source of food supply for China. and it's action may have a direct effect upon China's attitude against Germany" said Mir. Barrett.
 Tt also gives the allies now, for the first time. an unbroken coast line all the way from China to the Medi- terranean, for Siam was the only neu- tral territory in that entire district of many thousands of miles. It also possesses an excellent little navy, adequate to patrol the Gulf of Siam coast line of nearly 2,000 miles.

PLANS TO TEST
COUNTY SOILS
STATE EXPERIMENT STATION is
ARRANGING FOR SOIL FER
TILITY TESTS.
LOCAL COOPERATION NEEDED
County Demonstration Agents Are
Promoting the Establishment
OF This Valuable
Soil Work.

College Park. April 5.-Following an
extended tour OF the State, Dr. A. G.
Mccall in charge Of soil Investigations
at the Maryland Experiment Station
is arranging through county der a.
gration agents for a number OF ex-
perimental fields throughout the State.
In this DR.. Mccall says.
"The Maryland Experiment Station,
through its Department of Soils, is es-
tablishing a number OF experimental
fields in different sections Of the State,
Work is already in progress at Ridg-
ley in Caroline County and at Leon
ardtown in St. Mary's County, and it
is expected that number Of addi-
tional fields will be established during
the coming season
For many years the Experiment Sta
ton has been making study of the
soils of the station farms in Prince
George County. and the object of the
present movement is to extend this
work to include a study of the more
important soil areas of the State. The
object of these investigations is to
secure, for the farmers Of the State
definite knowledge in regard to: (D
the plant.food requirements of the
crops to be produced; (2) the total
stock of plant food contained in the
soil; (3) the best methods of making
this stock of plant food elements avail
able by practical farm methods; (4l
the most practical methods OF supple
menting or increasing the plant food
supply In the soil; and finally (5) the
systems of farming that will most
profitably and permanently maintain
the productive capacity Of the soil
Each experiment field will contain
10 to is acres OF land divided into
series which will correspond to the
different fields of farm. Each series
will be further divided into smaller
areas, and these treated in such a
manner as to obtain very definite in
formation in regard to the needs Of
the particular soil. Definite rotations
will be followed and the crops grown
will be those common to the locality
in which the field is located.
The limited funds at the disposal of
the Experiment Station makes 1t in-
possible to establish experimental
fields in all of the counties or to work
on all of the different soils in any
county but the work will be extended
as rapidly as the funds will permit
Farmers or other business men who
are interested in this soil improvement
work should consult their County Ag.

lishment Of fields in their county"

RRoopINa LIr1lE CHICKS.

College Park. March 29.-In his con
tribution to the bulletin OF the Mary.
land State College of Agriculture on
Elementary Vocational Agriculture for
Maryland Schools, Poultryman Roy H.
Waite OF the Maryland Experiment
Station says:
"Do not be in too much of hurry
to get the chicks out of the nest. They
should be left alone until they are
quite strong and well dried off. Neither
should they be fed for the first forty
eight or sixty hours. Nature has pro,
vlded them with enough nourishment
to take care of them for this length
of time and anything they may eat
before they need It may simply clog
them up. Bright little pieces of grit
and plenty of clean water are all they
need until they are ready TO begin
eating Be careful that the chicks do
not become chilled as this is danger.
Gus. If 1t does not kill the little chicks
outright, II will often stunt their
growth or give rise to sickness that
will make them poor business prop
osition
"The hen should not have too many
chickens to take care Of From Is to
20 is generally enough although an
unusually good brooder will often take
good care Of more. She will generally
decide for herself when her chicks
are ready to come on the nest She
ahouId not and ,1zualIv will nor iaad
her little ones far the first day after
leaving the nest. She will scratch
about. within short distance of the
nest and stop to hover her chickens
frequently. If she is inclined to wan
der too far or to travel too rapidly
for the strength of her chicks she
should be penned up or watched"

WEAVING YOUNG CALVES.

College Park, April SIN a cam
paign for the growing OF better and
more profitable dairy animals, G. E.
Wolcott, specialist in dairy work for
the Maryland Agricultural Extension
Service, urges the recommendation
made by the U. s. Bureau of Animal
Industry regarding the feeding of
young calves. He says:
WEAVING is a critical time, but II
the calves are handled properly at
that time there will usually be no
trouble That is the time to pay par
ticular attention to cleanliness, care.
and regularity. All pals must be
scrupulously clean. and the pens kept
clean and plenty of bedding supplied.
Young calves require fresh, clean,
and warm milk-not in large quanti-
ties but always little less than the
appetite demands. At first, four to
five pounds OF milk is sufficient for
one feed when given twice daily.
When fed in this way feeds should
be as nearly as possible IL hours
apart If it can be arranged. the
calves should be fed three times a
day for the first week and the guam
tity at a feed thus eorrespondingly
reduced
Regularity must not be forgotten,
for 1t is essential in calf raising. Regu
lar feeding and q uniform quantity
prevent much trouble. Never try to
guess at the quantity of milk; weigh
it, Don't estimate the temperature of
the milk; use a thermometer The
finger is not sensitive enough to gauge
the temperature Of the milk when it
is between 70 and 90 degrees F. The
first is too cold, the latter is right.
"The quantity OF milk is increased
gradually so that at two weeks of age
the calves are getting daily, IA to 16
pounds apiece. At that age, il the
calves are vigorous, skim milk may
be substituted for whole milk Make
the change gradually substituting a
takes a week or 10 days, depending on
the condition of the calves At the
same age, offer them little clean
dry grain. such as bran; bright, clean
hay also should be placed conven
iently. If skim milk is plentiful, feed
Up TO 20 pounds a day to each calf
ard continue for several months
When it is scarce. calves may usually
be weaned at about six weeks and
put on dry feed
The care during the first few weeks
is very important IL healthy calves
are to be raised Cleanliness. care. and
regularity in feeding return good
profits in strong. vigorous calves"
