In Southern Fruit Grower

The writer has been carrying on some
test work with tomatoes for a number
of years. During the first years the
vines died after bearing for a few
weeks. IN 1916 and 1917, this was pre-
vented by spraying the plants three to
four times with a 4-4-50 Bordeaux NIX
ture. The first spraying was made when
the first blossoms appeared The other
at intervals of two weeks. This kept
the vines green and healthy and also
prevented rotting to some extent. Spray
ing with Bordeaux mixture will not
prevent blossom end rot.
| The Bordeaux mixture was made by
dissolving pounds of bluestone in "a
gallons of water. Stacking the lime and
mixing it with another 25 gallons. and
then pouring the two together. When
worms were present on the foliage ar
senate of lead was added at the rate of
one pound of the powder to so gallons
| of Bordeaux mixture.
difficulty experienced by growers
! of any considerable area of tomatoes
has been in getting a practical spray
apparatus. The KNAPP sack or hand
sprayer, which is excellent for a patch
| of one-tenth of an acre, will not do
| justice to an acre or more, as it takes
| too much time.
! A plan was adopted for the last two
years which has proven very satisfac-
| tory. A barrel sprayer was used with
a 40-foot lead of hose On the side of
the barrel were nailed six-foot length
of Ski boards with the ends Whitfield
down to make handle The barrel wa
filled about half full OF spray material
and carried to the space between two
| rows. With one man to pump and an
other to do the spraying very rapid
work can be done. The barrel does NOT
need to be moved until four rows have
oeen completed for so feet. This means
very little moving of the barrel. ma
when moved it is only necessary to move
| it four rows

Raised Turkeys 40 Years

| have been a breeder of turkeys for
40 years and should know something in
regard to how to care for and handle
them. In the first place. nearly every
body takes too much care of them.
have learned from experience that the
less you bother them the better they get
along Have had splendid success with
turkeys. selling and shipping eggs and
never have any trouble.
The first thing most people do is to
hatch the turkeys as early as they can.
| like to have them come off after the
hard spring rains are over. AS all tur-
key breeders know. or should know, the
most important point is that the flock
should be mature, healthy and vigorous.
You cannot expect good results from in
ferior stock. l am very careful as to
how / select my flock: they must show
UP good or go to the market. There is
a great deal to learn in the care of
young turkeys, but there is a lot to
learn to make a success of anything and
why I urge farmers to try turkeys is be-
cause there is real profit in them. They
will care for themselves. In the fall you
can sell them. l sold my culls last
rear two weeks before Thanksgiving
and some of them brought s3.S5 each.
They had simply taken care of them
selves and been allowed to run on the
meadow and wheat field. The farm is
the place for turkeys. AS to the kind
to raise, you may be the judge and choose
the kind you like. I like the Bourbon
Reds They seem more hardy, fast grow
ers and more tame They resist disease
more readily than other kinds, and there
is a strong demand for them.
We farmers should do our best to sup
ply the meat, there is such a shortage
at present and turkeys are now selling
at 2sc a pound. Just try raising them
this year with your chickens and hogs
and see which makes the most clear
profit.

Cooperative Milk Plant

The dairy farmers in the vicinity of
Bullville, Orange county, New York,
through cooperative effort, constructed
a milk plant last fall for the purpose of
handling their own milk 1t has now
been in operation for some months and
f. c. Martin, secretary of the Bullvlle
Milk Producers association, states in the
Dairymen's League News the following
"On October 3 the plant was open for
business. At the present time the farmers
there are shipping $50 cans of milk
daily and the company enjoys the con-
fidence and hearty cooperation of all the
up-to-date farmers in the community.
There are still half dozen people who
believe in helping one of the large dis
trihutors instead of assisting themselves
and their brother Dairymen's league
members. There is no longer any ques-
ton as to whether the company will pc
a success, since the farmers are all hap
Ply and perfectly satisfied. They know
that they are not under the thumb of
any large milk distributor.
1t is with a great deal of satisfaction
that we read this comment, for we have
cherished the idea of cooperative effort
among dairy farmers for more than 81
years, and for the past Is or 20 years
have been urging milk shippers to or
ganize on a cooperative basis and con-
struct milk plants for the handling of
their product. Such institutions in the
hands of the farmers give them full con-
troll over the marketing of their prod
ucts, and when they have number of
these plants established and in operation,
they will be in position to control their
own business. This is highly desirable
not only for the purpose of securing the
full market price for their products,
but also for bringing them the satisfac-
ton of knowing that they are getting
all the market will pay
We believe it is much wiser for farmers
to proceed in the construction of coop
erative plants than it is to attempt to
distribute their milk in the cities. The
time may come when the farmers will be
capable of organizing milk distributing
plants in the large cities, but first it is
better for them to own cooperative
plants in the country and learn how to
run them properly before attempting to
enter the business of distribution, which
is complicated, expensive and irritating

Take Care of Your Horse

weather, stall by 8 feet, or enough
room to lie down, and two weeks va

Horses shoes should be reset every
four or five weeks when roads are ICY
Keep your horses shoes well sharpened.

and the smith who will do it is not a
good mechanic. No shoe should ever be
touched to a hoof while the shoe is too
hit to be held in the smiths hand. A
hot shoe will kill the life and destroy the
elasticity of the hoof.
Be sure your horse has exercise ev-

the work horse be given exercise on
holidays and Sundays unless his feed is
reduced. Lack of such exercise, COM

Cheesemaking in Georgia
BY J. e. BOWLING

The first cheesemaking work in the
mountain sections of north Georgia was
started in December of last year L. Fl.
Marlatt, a government cheese specialist.
was sent to the Georgia State College of
Agriculture to conduct the work in a
cooperative way among the people of the
mountains. He has selected Young Har
r1s, Ga, as the first place to start 4
cheese factory and has already started
the organization of a plant which he
hopes to have in operation about the FIRST
of June. AS a matter of fact the euuip-
ment has already been ordered and work
on the building will be under way in a
short time.
1t is thought that cheesemaking in the
mountains will be success from the
start What milk has been available was
made into butter which sold for from,
II to 20 cents a pound during the sum
mer months, or the milk was given to
pigs. AS soon as the first plant is in
operation and in the hands of compe-
tent operator. others will be started as
there are 10 counties in this section Of
the state that have the natural ad-
vantages for cheesemaking, such as
abundant cold spring water. cool nights,
pasture, and shade. Milk can be pro-
duced at a minimum cost during spring
and summer while for winter feeding
hay, soy beans, corn silage and other
maintenance crops can be had The gen.
eral plan for operating plant calls for
pledge of so to 100 cows Only such
Localities as can provide cool spring
water and have cool nights will be given
consideration. The factories are to be CO.
operative and owned by the farmers and
patrons. After the plant is in operation
and the cooperative company formed,
some young man of the community will
be selected and trained by the special
list in charge as manager and opera
tor. The department at Washington and
the state college have high hopes OF
making the industry a pronounced sue
cess from the start.

Potato Spraying Paid

some potato growers, according to
a recent statement from the department
OF agriculture, have expressed the opinion
.hat u Goes not pay to spray potatoes
Tor late blight. That thorough spraying
viii control the blight in seasons of bad
injection has been proved many times
in the past. says the statement, and
most recently in Aroostook county, Maine,
IN 1917. Among other places in the
county this was shown conclusively at
Aroostook Farm. where expensive expert
ments were conducted by the United
States department of agriculture in CO.
operation with the Maine agricultural ex-
pertinent station. In one block where
small test plots sprayed with standard
Bordeaux mixture were interspersed with
untreated plots. the average yield on II
of the former was at the rate of 1872
bushels per acre, while that on an equal
number of untreated plots was at the
rate of 1875 bushels per acre, an increase
of 37.7 bushels per acre. or none than &c
per cent in favor of Bordeaux mixture.

labor This two
burrows nd p1an thema at one

six to eight inches tall. This method
may be satisfactory where plenty OF
labor is available, but where it is
desirable to economic labor it would
be advisable to plant tested seed al
about the same rate as the stand de-
sired and do no thinning
A more general use of efficient har-
vesting machinery would permit a
more economical use of labor. A corr
binder with an attachment for elevat-
ing the bundles of corn into a wagon
should be used much more extensively
than it is for harvesting ensilage corn
There is also on the market a machine
that converts the corn into ensilag
in the field, elevating it into a wagon
from which it is sucked or lifted into
the silo. The use of either of these
machines, especially the latter, would
do away with the necessity of much
laborious work.
HARVESTED BY HAND
A large percentage of the cutting
and shocking of corn is done by hand
| labor. In some sections, because OF
unfavorable topography or other rea-
sons it is not practicable to use ma
chine cutters. However the greater
part of the corn that is now cut by
hand labor could be harvested by
machinery, economiZing labor and do
ing the work in a less laborious man
ner
Much of the corn that is now husked
from the shocks could be handled more
economically and with a saving in feed
value of slower by substituting ma
chine huskers and shedders for hand
labor. The use of corn pickers would
accomplish similar results in the case
of corn husked from the standing
stalks. Unloading and elevating ma
/ chinery at the crib should be intro
duced and more generally used in
many sections where it is now un-
known or not commonly used Where
such facilities are not available cribs
should be constructed in such a man
ner that they can be filled and emptied
with the least possible labor For
level ground double cribs with an ele-
waited driveway and approaches thai
will enable the loads to be driven
| through the cribs and dumped OF
scooped out of the wagons without
any high pitching are very satisfac-
tory.
