FARMERS SHOULD
SELECT SEED CORN
Lake County G. o. D. Des-
ignates Present Week,
September 1928.
tsPEcIAL To THE TlMEs.J

GROWN POINT. IND. Sept 26.-At
the last melting Of the County Council
Of Defense the week of September %
10 IS was desi gnated as Seed Corn
Selection Week in Lake county. The
Council Of Defense authorized the food
production committee to do everything
possible 10 provide for enough seed
corn to plant the acreag &c on Lake county
farms for the next two years. This will
make something like 5000 to 10000
bushels Of seed corn. or an average Of
about ten bushels per farm.
When we consider that some Of this
seed should be culled out before it is
shelled at planting time. we really
should plan for selecting at least $4,000
bushels Of seed corn this week in Lake
county This would make train Of
some 20 to 25 cars of high-class corn.
For few men to select this corn would
mean an impossibility yet if each far
mer takes 1t upon himself to get his
own seed supply. We viii so over the
Top" by Saturday night.
one farmer stated last week that. con-
sidering the times and the dmand for
good seed. il should be a disgrace for
any farmer to come to planting time
next spring without having a great
amount Of seed corn hung up, thorough
IN driedl and ready to be sheled for the
planter.

POWDER HENS BY MACHINERY
Discarded churn Makes Application
Of Insect Powder Easy and
Quite Effective.
By C. 8. ANDERSON, Colorado Asri-

By c. g. ANDERSON, Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins)
A hen may be healthy, well fed, and
well housed, but If she is oyerrun
with lice and mites she cannot remain
a profitable producer or a good mother
for the young chicks.
Under ordinary conditions, lice and
mites can be kept down by frequently
spraying the poultry houses, roosts,
dropping boards and nests and by pro-
viding a good busting bath for the
birds. When these precautions fail, in
dividual treatment must be followed
by busting the birds with some good
insect powder. In large fiocks this Is
very laborious, and the following use
of an old discarded churn may help to
solve the problem.
Put cUpful or so of insect powder
in the churn. Next put in the birds
one at q time and turn the churn gent
ly for half-dozen revolutions. If the
powder contains carbolic acid or some
other strong irritant, it will be well to
protect the birds eyes by slipping a
small cloth sack over their heads.
The rotation of the churn causes
the bird to relax and the feathers to
open, thus letting the insect powder
get well into the skin.

WAR RATI0NS FOR CHICKENS
Corn is Probably Most Important Food
for Poultry and Should Not
Be Overlooked.

In spite of the high cost of feeds
flock of good fowls will continue to re-
turn handsome profit, because Of
the great advance in price of eggs and
poultry. There is no cheap ration,
because all grains and feeds have ad-
vanced. Corn is probably the most
important food for poultry and should
not be left out of the ration.
Cracked corn and oats may well
constitute the bulk Of the hard grain,
using equal quantities by weight of
each. A little barley, say 20 to 25 per
cent, will add variety, but wheat is
out of the question. Low grades and
screenings that do not contain too
many weed seeds may also be used.

DAMAGED FEED FOR POULTRY
Before Buying Low-erade Grain Make
Sure That II Has Sufficient
Amount Of Nutriment.

Before buying low-grade or damaged
grain to feed the poultry, make sure
that 1t has enough nutriment in 1t to
be worth the price you pay for 1t.
Grains that are simply shrunken, If
bought cheap enough, are sometimes
profitable to feed; but those which are
damaged in some other ways frequent
ly are almost useless and are expen-
sive at any price. When possible, it is
well to send samples Of this kind of
grain to your state experiment station
for examination.

TURKEYS ALWAYS IN DEMAND
Because of Constant Decrease in Mum.
ber of Fowls There Is Increased
Profits in Them.
CBy ANDREW wEINANT.)

Because the number Of turkeys in
the United States has constantly de-
creased in the last few years while the
demand has perhaps increased, a
more profitable side line than turkey
raising for those favorably situated
for the work could hardly be found.
Given plenty or range, turkeys will
readily find grasshoppers and other
insects, green vegetation, the seeds Of
weeds and grasses, waste grains, and
acorns and nuts Of various kinds. In
this way the cost of raising them is
small and the profits large. Grain
