Called on John Burke today, but
found he is in North Dakota. Then
looked for Major Crane and found he

Did not find out how serious as could
not get to see him.
Was surprised to find Wilson very

having new faces built on them. An

The herd of HolStelnS on the gov

and peace-loving as any of her sub
iects, although she bears the name,
Calamity Wayne Pauline II, and has

produced in a year more than IL tons
of milk. In 365 days she produced
22,547.8 pounds of milk, which av-
sraged 1906 per cent butter fat, the
total fat being 1854 pounds.
This animal was selected by dairy
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture from a
Michigan herd in July, 1917. She
was brought to the Beltsville. farm,
where she produced a heifer calf,
and was started on her test Deem

years. The test was run through
the coolest winter that section had
experienced in 40 years, and sum

THE PRESENT COTTON SITUATION

but in view of the disorder in those
countries it would be a foolish man
who would base a business calcula-
ton and an investment upon such
an expectation. Some of the best
informed observers who have recent
ly visited Germany express the opi11-
ion that it's industries will not reach
SO per cent of the normal within II
months. Undoubtedly, central Eu7
rope needs cotton and cotton goods
in as great volume as can be pro-
duced. The question is how soon
will central Europe come to order
and be able to manufacture and to
buy. With the somewhat heavy car
ry-over of 3,450,188 bales at the end
of last season, it will be seen that
4 normal acreage in 1919 might cause.
the accumulation of disastrous sur
plus.
Interesting Figures
There has been much ignorance in
regard to cotton prices. It will sur
prise many people to read the fol-
lowing figures: The price of cotton
on the farm on April 1, 1914, was
1919, 14.5 cents a pound, or an In
crease of 206 per cent. The price Of
hogs on the farm April 1, 1914, was
78 cents a pound, and on April L,
1919, 1913 cents a pound, or an In
crease of 205 per cent. The whole
to Bradstreets, on April 1, 1919, was
3 5-8 cents a yard for print cloths
64s, Boston. and on April l, 1919.
Ia cents yard, an advance Of 2O0
per cent, and of staple ginghams
April /, 1914, 1-2 cents a yard.
and on April 1, 1919, II IL cents, an
advance of 2S0 per cent, or an aver
age advance for these two classes of
staple goods of 24o per cent.
While the cost of producing cot
ton under present circumstances has
not been completely calculated for
each region of the cotton belt, de-
pendable estimates have been made
in several regions and at the present
price of 245 cents to the farmer, cot
ton should exceed consumption by
million or two bales, and add to the
carry-over that much more, the prob
ability is that cotton would decline
considerably below the cost of pro-
duction That is why cotton farmers
are solicitous and why bankers and
merchants in the cotton belt who
are carrying cotton on a credit ba-
sis quite above present quotations
are taking thought of the value OF
their assets as they will necessarily
be affected Immediately by the acre
age, and later by the yield of 1919.
The department of agriculture has
not presumed to instruct cotton farm
ers as to the precise acreage they
should plant but it has taken pains
to inform them as best it may as to
the supply and the probable demand,
and has urged that each farmer make
sure the production of his own sta

lUBERCULAR CATTLE BEING
- SHIPPED TO SOUTHERN STATES

herds are now being offclally ac-
credited as free from tuberculosis,
and the further development of these
sources of healthy cattle is expect
ed to reduce the opportunity for
traffic in diseased animals. .
Reactors Show Advanced Stage of
Disease
The condition of the three car
loads of cattle found by federal in
spectors to be more than half tu-
berculous was a bitter surprise to
the Tennessee dairymen. In one lot
of Is cattle, Is reacted to the test,
and post-mortem examination of all
but three COWS, which were held to
calve, showed well-marked LESSONS Of
tuberculosis.
In another lot of 46 animals, II
reacted to the test, and four of
which were so badly affected that
they were condemned to the offai
tank In another lot one of the
animals died before a test could be
made.
The damage done by shipments of
the kind mentioned is beyond reck.
ontng, especially when the depress
ing effect of the fraud on the local
dairy industry is considered. Off
Gals of the United States depart
ment of agriculture declare that ex
cept in the case of valuable pure
bred breeding stock, isolated from
healthy animals the best remedy is
the heroic method of slaughtering
the animals which react to the test,
cleaning up the herds at once, and
after that keeping them free from
disease as provided under the ac-
credited herd plan. ...
Cooperative arrangements in some
states make the state and govern
ment partners in sharing with the
owner the loss of cattle found dis
eased and slaughtered. This incen-
tive toward complete eradication is
a policy which the department of
agriculture is endeavoring to have
every state adopt. The laws of
many states provide-and this is an
important matter for dairymen to
consider-that indemnity be paid for
condemned animals only after they
have been kept in the state speci-
fed period, usually six months or a
year. In Tennessee bovine tubercu-
losis is being eradicated by the state
and government co-opera lively, but
the matter of reimb ursement is ad-
Winfstered by county authorities.

.IFinQer Prints" for Hens


= 1t is a practice of some poultry
hens in the flock and to Gull the
younger hens and pullets because of
the difficulty in Distinguishing be-
tween the birds after the pullets
have matured. Farmers should avoid
such, confusion by marking the young
chicks in the web of the foot with a
toe punch before they are trans
ferred to the brooder or the brood
coop. A system such as the follow
ing offers practical means of identi-
fication for chickens: -
The bird without any holes punch
ed in the web of either foot should
be known as No. l; No. 2 has a
punch mark in the right half of the
right foot; No. bears a mark in
the left half of the right foot; No.
shows a mark in the right side of
the left foot; No. a similar mark
bears marks in both sides of the
right foot, while No. Z carries SINH
lar marks in both sides of the left
foot. Bird No. 8 is identified by
mark in the left side of the right
foot and another on the right side
of the left foot, while No. 9 is
known by a mark in the RIGHT side
of the right foot and the left side
of the left foot; No. 10 shows a
mark in the left side of the right
foot and the left side of the left
foot, while No. II is marked on the
right side of the risht foot and the
left side of the right foot.
This system of marking may be
continued indefinitely according to
the ingenuity of the individual poul-
tryman in mapping out a footprint
schedule. 1t provides means Of

Orchard Notes for May
Apples

Two sprayings should have been
made since bloom in April. There is
no need for further spraying until
June for bitter rot and second brood
use acid and meal heavily, 10 pounds
of acid and pounds of meal for
10 to 15-year-old tree. The best show
apples come from rather young trees.
Thinning the apples 6 to 10 inches
apart on limbs is also good practice
for making show fruit.
Peaches
Spray for brown rot early this
month. Use the $3.50 self-boi1ed
lime sulphur and a pound of powder
ed arsenate of lead. Get the method
of making this spray from the spray
calendar and your county agent.
There is no liquid substitute for the
Self-boiled lime sulphur.
There. is no further use for any
form of concentrated lime sulphur
in any spraying this season. 5.
Pecans "
An arsenate of lead-bordeauX spray
will help prevent scab, nut case bear
er and shuck worms. Make two
sprayings two or three weeks apart
this month. .
satsu1na Oranges
The second application of nitrate
Of soda or sulphate of ammonia
should be made this month. Fifty
POUNDS per acre on young trees, one
hundred pounds, for bearing trees.
Spray with bordeaux if the sooty
fungus has caused trouble. Two
sprayings this month should relieve
this trouble.
Shrubs and Shade Trees
Now is good time to prune
spireas, and other shrubs that have
already bloomed. Remove the old
wood. A small handful of guano
worked into the ground will help
the growth. Two handfuls. Of shade
trees. Spread over the land to a
distance. a little beyond the spread
of the branches. After fertilizing
and working the ground, a heavy
mulch about the shrubs will give
them all the attention they need.
Stable manure is always the best
mulch. The raked up mowings from
the lawn are good.
Sow. or drill the orchard in Iron
peas, velvet beans or soy beans this
month. Drilled in close rows and
cultivated time or two in June is
the very best method. Sowing is
next best.
Do not let the hot August sun burn
any more of the humus supply out
of the orchard land. d.
