Dear Cynthia-I have read your col

about his mother. l wish to know
this before school started again, so ]

to walk with him every day. Tell him

DEVELOPS NEW HYBRID COW
PEAS.

In it's plant-brseding work with
cowpsas, which involves several hun
dred hybrids and selections, the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture during the past year has de-
veloped several new sorts which give
such promise that they are now be-
ing grown in quantity for distribu-
ton. These varieties are Potomac,
Arlington, Columbia, White Hybrid,
and Early Buff. Extensive field
work is being conducted by the de-
partment with hybrids, especially in
the wilt and nematode lands of the
Southern States, Two hybrid selec-
lions, unnamed as yet, have been
found highly resistant to bottle nema-
todes and wilt and are superior to
other sorts for the production OF seed
and forage. These two selections
are being grown in quantity for more
extensive field tests next year.

HOW HOG CHOLERA IS CON-
TROLLED,

| Through the work of the Bureau
| Of Animal Industry of the United
I States Department Of Agriculture
100000 hogs were vaccinated
! against cholera in the last year, and
| average losses in cholera-infected
herds were reduced to less than Is
per cent by the use Of anti-hog-chol-
era serum. An increase of 1853 coun-
ties working for hog-cholera control
in considered notable, there being
467 counties in the country now en-
gagged in this work, besides II states
in which activities of this character
are conducted.
Representatives of the Federal de-
partment visited 1850 farms for
the purpose Of making Investigations,
diagnosing disease, and giving advice
regarding control and eradication.
Furthermore, 2,056 meetings were
attended by 1O0,190 farmers who
were interested in the control and
combating Of hog cholera. In addi-
ton, 2,236 choiera-infested farms
were cleaned up and disinfected un-
der the direction of the Federal
specialists
In order that only the best anti
hog-cholera serum may be used in
actual field work, rigid inspection of
all serum is necessary. During the
last y months, of the 271, 402,530
cubic centimeters of serum produced
n licensed establishments, 2,48S,661
cubic centimeters were destroyed as
unfit for use. Similar inspection Of
hog-cholera virus was also conducted
for simultaneous use with the serum.

PLANTING CORN THAT WILL
GROW.

Connecticut's experience last sea
son shows the value OF testing seed
corn. Corn shows in that state in
1917 were unique in that a 50-ear
termination test was made of each
entry. These tests saved the State
thousands of dollars, disclosing that
much of the seed corn of the 1917
crop was very low in terminating
qualities. A campaign was inaugu-
rated for the testing of all corn to
be used for the 1918 crop. The work
IN many places was taken up through
the schools, the teachers and pupils
were taught to make tests No ex-
cuse was left for any farmer to plant
immature corn. In one county 700
samples showed only 80 per cent
terminating power, and in another
county only 10 per cent of the corn
tested was fit for planting. The
farm bureaus saved the day by carry
ing on so vigorous a campaign that
all corn fit for planting was made
available for home use or sale. In
addition to supplying the States need
for good seed corn, the farm bureaus
were able to get together six car
loads of tested seed for shipment to
North Dakota and Wisconsin, where
also the situation was serious. This
corn brought the farmers Of Connec-
ticut 1000.

IMPROVES VARIETIES OF SOY
BEANS.

The increasing utilization of the
soy bean as food and in numerous
manufactured products has resulted
in an increased public interest in this
crop and a consequent larger acre
age. The United States Department
Of Agriculture has extended it's field
work with soy beans during the past
year, especially IN connection with
the testing OF improved varities Sc
lected from numerous introductions
from Asia. Much hybridization in
volving the crossing of the nonshat-
tering, smooth sort with standard
commercial sorts has been done
Many Of the most important varie-
ties now grown are the result of the
departments work. Several recent
ly distributed are the Haberlandt,
Virginia, Wilson-Five, Hahto, Biloxi,
Black Eyebrow, Manchu, and Pek-
ing. The testing Of varieties for food
purposes has given a soft-boiling
bean, Easy Cook, superior to any
other tested, and the Hahto, a varie-
ty especially valuable for use as a
green vegetable. Breeding work is
being continued with varieties of
high oil and protein content and high
forage and seed yield.

LIMESTONE GETS Rnsu1Rs.

Broome county, N. Y, this year

Still another farmer used / ton OF

On the lined area he produced 1924

had direct supervision of the dipping
of cattle. AS result of the com
,bined efforts of this organization, the
stock owners and parish officials, it
was possible on December !. 1918, to
release from State and Federal quar-
antine the following parishes and
parts Of parishes: Allen, Avoyelles,
Beauregard, BienVille, Calcasieu, De-

total Of 43 parishes, and four parts
OF parishes, comprising an area Of
1,677 square miles of released ter
ritory, or Sc per cent of the state.
Release from quarantine does not
always mean absolute freedom from

continue dipping to some extent, at
least, in those released parishes un-
til the last tick has been eradicated
And now that an armistice has been
signed with the tick in majority of
the parishes in the state, diligence
should be manifested on the part of
aevery stock owner to prevent any

PUTTING POUNDS ON. PORKERS,

Boys and girls pig cubs in Ames
Iowa, lately have been making big
records in pig fattening Informa-
ton just received by the States Re-
lations Service, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, shows that one
boy, for period Of 1913 days, made
a gain of 2.39 pounds a day on his
pig; another, 2.26 pounds a day.
Twenty boys have averaged two or
more pounds a day.
ut Is the best record from the
standpoint of rate of grain that we
have ever received" says Frank O..
Reed, the pig club leader in Ames
Some excellent gains and unusual
profits also have been made in beef
fattening. Several members of the
boys corn club report over a hun
dred bushels to the acre, one show
ing 1875, 1875, and 124 bushel yields.
