The state and the nation are hun gering for potatoes. Growers must give potatoes the best of care if they ex- pect a good yield.
 Five Reasons for Cultivation
 l. We cultivate to kill the weeds The best time to kill weeds is while they are small. The more weeds, the fewer potatoes.
 ?. We cultivate to stir the soil deep so that the roots may go down and draw more moisture. Potatoes need much moisture.
 3. We cultivate to make dust mulch, which holds the moisture. The more cultivating. the less irrigation needed.
 4. We cultivate the soil to make it loose and friable Such soil yields smoother, higher priced potatoes. Hard 'or cloddy soil makes rough. ill-shaped tubers.
 !. We Cultivate to aerate dntroduce air into) the soil. This reduces potato diseases and improves the physical and chemical condition of the soil.
 Early Cultivation and Narrowing
 Where your potatoes have been
 
 draws up ridges marking the rows it is q good plan to cultivate deep before the potatoes are Up. If your planting sys- tenn has left the ground level cultivate with a spike tooth harrow before pota- toes show above ground. In either case, be sure to harrow just as the potatoes are coming through Narrowing can be repeated even up to the time the pota toes are two to three inches high Sev- eral harroWings should be given before the potatoes are this large. Remember these early harroWings will kill the small weeds and this means less hand weeding and hoeing. Keep the harrow teeth cleaned and there will be less danger of dragging out the plants In very loose, sardy soil there is more danger of uprooting the plants.
 Later Cultivations
 A regular tWo-horse cultivator with three or four harrow. shoVels on a side is the common tool for later cultiva- tions. although the disk cultiyators are sometimes used Make cultivations deeper at first and more shallow when roots and tubers are more likely to be damaged. Draw the earth gradually to- ward the rows.
 If you are growing dry land pota- toes do not hill them up: keep the ground leNel ana the moisture Will De held better A one-horse, five shovel garden cuitiyator, or a one horse, har- row tooth cultivator, is better for dry land; also cultivate shallow instead of deep.
 The five shovel garden cultivator does fine work in sandy Soil. Cultivate and break the crust after each rain or irrigation. Up to the time the potatoes are coming into bloom they are truly living in what may be called "the cultivation era" When potatoes begin to bloom shall have something to say about irrigation, late cultivation and the use of the | wing shovel blow for milling up. Do not think you are overriding it if you harrow twice and cultivate three times before the potatoes come into 1 bloom.

The complete effectiveness of the so- dium fluorid remedy and methods of using it are discussed in Farmers Bull letin S0l of the U. s. Department of Agriculture, Mites and Lice on Poul- try by F. c. Bishopp and H. P Wood. The bulletin deals also with mites, the nigth pests of chickens. which requires a different treatment. Lice are the biting insects that work by day and are a serious foe in neglected small flocks of general farms and back yards.
 Sodium fluorid-say it plainly to the druggist or you may get sodium chlor- i'd, common salt. which it not only re- sembles in name but in appearance may be obtained at most large drug stores, Until it's recent use against cockrOacheS, and still more recently against poultry this substance had not been employed as an insecticide. The demand for it, therefore, has been quite limited, and it is not ordinarily found in the stock of the small drug store. Druggists, however can obtain fit read fly from manufacturing chemists and with demand. it likely will be carried by local dealers. The finely powdered commercial form is cheaper and more easily applied by the dusting method than the fine, crystaliZed sodium fluorid
 Dusting With Sodium Fuorid
 To apply the material in dust form place it in an open vessel on table and with one hand hold the fowl by the legs or wings. With the other hand place small pinches of the chemical among the feathers next to the skin, "rcording to what is known as the pinch method, which proceeds as fol bw bws: One pinch on the head one on the neck, two on the back, one on the breast. one below the vent one on the tail, one on either thigh, and one scattered on the under side of each wing when spread. Each pinch can be distributed by pushing the thumb and fingers among the feathers as the ma terial is released. If the chicken is held oyer the vessel. the material which falls from the fowl during the opera = ] ton is recovered.
 The material also may be applied by means of shaker, but this method has j some disadvantages as compared with 1 the pinch" method. When this method ] is used the amount of sodium fluorid may be reduced by adding four parts ] of some finely powdered material, such i as road dust or flour, to each part of the fluOrid. The dust, while not poison ! ous, IS somewhat irritating to the nose and throat If allowed to remain on ! the skin in any quantity for any great i length of time. it may cause slight local i irritation. For these reasons. those dusting a large number of chickens ] would do well to cover nose and mouth with a dust guard or damp cloth and i to wash their hands occasionally.
 Dipping With Sodium Fluorid i The dipping method is more econo- i illical but among many poultry raisers ] hNro is 2 general sentiment against the

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 2O-One application Of sodium fluorid will kill all lice on chickens, entomologists Of the department of agriculture have dis covered. This inexpensive white pow der, they find, will rid flock of all the seven common species of chicken lice in a few days. One pound costing only 40 or 50 cents at the time of this writing is enough to treat lG0 fowls, if dusted on. If dissolved in water and used as a dip, the same amount will go three times as far.
