Must Give Contests

Fruits and vegetables in package form should be labeled with the quantity of contents when shipped within the juris- diction of the federal food and drugs act, says officials of the Department of Az riculture in charge of the enforcement of that law.
 The requirements of the net weight amendment to the federal food and drugs act in it's application to the labelling of fruits and vegetables in package form have been widely distributed among ship pers and other interested parties. Shippers of fruits and vegetables who fail to com ply with the requirements of the law are liable to prosecution in the federal courts. say the officials. Food inspectors have been instructed to watch interstate ship ments of fruits and vegetables during this season to see that the packages are lab eled with the quantity of contents in ac- cordance with the requirements of the law.
 Complete rulingssregarding the labelling of the quantity of contents of fruits and vegetables coming within the Jurisdiction of the federal food and drugs act. and re- garding certain exemptions, which have been published in service and regulatory announcement No. 21, will be mailed upon application to the Bureau of Chemistry, Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.

Red Spider Not Dangerous
By FRANK l.. THOMAS, Extension EntOmOlOEjst, Auburn

Most cotton growers, especially those in the northern half of the state, have a vivid recollection of the red spider and its injury to cotton during July and Au- gust of last year.
 The red spider is most troublesome in seasons following severe winters. ThN reason for this is that the natural en- emies are killed off by the variations of severe cold and warm weather, thus allowing the little spiders to spread un- molested in the summer, if favorable weather occurs.
 But this year we believe that there are two good reasons why this pest of cotton will not take it's heavy tax, if it is even noticed to any extent It's natural ene- mics which did not survive the winter oi 1S17-1S multiplied very rapidly with the abundance of spiders last summer, and the past winter has not been a hard one.
 The man who thinks he knows how to prophecy may be found to be incor- rect, and to make assurance doubly suN the following suggestions, if carried out, will prevent the red spider getting a start even in a favorable season.
 Cotton should not be planted near thS house, for the spider passes the winter on violets and many other green plants found in the yard. It is preferable to remove and burn the violets. As soon as pokeweed appears dig it out and burn the stalk. The main sources of red spider in- Hesitation are vioets and pokeweed The whole secret of red spider control is pre- vention by keeping down the early weeds On which these mites are found. Now is the time to clean up the farm, and clean cultivation always pays. .l. 4,

Big Profits From 2 Fowls

In Caddo parish, Louisiana, one of the members of a poultry club organized by the United States Department of Nsrl- culture and the state college is rural school teacher. A talk early in 1918 by the home demonstration agent os she county on the superior value of pure-bred fowls so impressed the teacher that soon she purchased a pair of Rhode Island Reds During the spring and summer of last year the hen laid 12l~ eggs All of these eggs were set under brooder mems of the common garden variety and the matching percentage was high In January their owners sold for $50 the pull lets and cockerels this one pure-bred pair had produced. The small size of the en- terprise and the consequent individual care which could be given the chick ems were the reasons for the unusual profits.

Bull Associations Prosper

"A bull association would be paying enterprise for our country, but the farm CTS here simply won't pull together on any proposition"
 This is the usual answer a representa- - tive from the United States Department of Agriculture gets when he goes into a new community and asks the individual farmers about the feasibility of organ izing bull association. But 55 bull asso- citations have been organized in Fl states and are successfully operating. special ist from the dairy division recently re- turned from a two-months' trip in Kan sas Oklahoma, Georgia, Louisiana, Ten nessee and Mississippi. In those states he assisted in the initial steps for the or- ganiza tion of IA more bull associations.
 The first bull association was organized in Michigan in 190S Since then 20 other states have taken up this work Not a single farmer has ever lost dollar by belonging Better bulls are obtained for less money. Better dairy offspring re- suits More milk is produced for the same money The investment for the individual farmer is small and the returns are more sure.

Fight the Scrub

Bull associations, though few in num- Der, wage eternal warfare on the scrub. The scrub bull has done much damage in this country. He is worse than worth less. He lowers the production of all fuz ture genera tions of the herd he heads H- cannot increase milk production, even in a herd of scrubs because. like, them. he is a scrub. In a herd of better breeding the damage he may do is almost l.nAitless
 The grade bull is a little better. be- cs use most of his ancestors being scrubs. he is certain to transmit scrub qualities to his offerings. The grade bull may have the form and color markings of pure- bred, but he lacks the power to trans. init with any degree of certainty "a qualities of any high producing ancestors he may have. That herd is very poor indeed in which a grade bull can make any marked improvement.
 The registered scrub comes of low producing registered ancestors, therefore he transmits only inferior qualities se his calves. Registration is not enough to guarantee production. Permanent dairy herd improvement can never come from the scrub, the grade or the registere- scrub.
 A constant fight against the cattle fever tick has put large proportions of the southern states into the tick-free area Why not inaugurate a similar fight av over the United States, ask specialists of the Department of Agriculture against the scrub, the grade, the registered scrub against scrub sires of every kind? Taking each state county by county. why not eliminate the scrub, and establish scrub free areas in every state?
 ''We expect the specialists say, some time to make map of the United States showing the areas that are free of scrub sires, and on that map we hope event ually to mark all parts of every state as being in the scrub-free area"

Soy Bean As a Builder
By E. F. CAUTHEN, Associate Agrouomist Auburn

The value of soy bean crop for soil improvement is about equal to that of cowpea crop When the crop is cue for hay, or harvested for seed, leaving on the land most of the plant the resG dual fertilizing effect is worth while.
 Cotton planted after corn and after soy beans, for which only the grain was re- moved, made on a two-year average 11A and 1459 pounds of seed cotton, respec- lively, per acre. As a result of the fertil- izing effect of the preceding crop of soy beans, the soy bean land made BIS pounds of seed cotton per acre more than the corn land. Stated in money value, the fertilzing effect of the soy bean crop was. if the seed cotton be calculated at cents a pound. S25A per acre.
 When a fall forage crop of small grain and crimson clover was planted after corn and soy beans, the yield of hay was 3399 pounds for the corn land and 42i9 pounds for the soy bean land. The in crease, due to the fertiizing effect of tee soy beans, was S5S pounds of hay per acre' If the hay is valued at s24 per ton, the fertilizing effect of the preceding soy bean crop was $10.30 per acre.
 winter oat crop, following corn and soy beans, which was gathered in such a way as to leave the stalks and bean stubble, made an increase of 179 per cent as a result of the fertilizing effect of the soy beans.
 Since the soy bean can be grown in all parts of Alabama, and lends itself readily to different kinds of cropping systems the importance of it as a fertilizng agent and feed crop should not be overlooked by Alabama farmers. Plant few acres of soy beans for hay, for seed, for hog grazing and for soil improvement.

Velvet Bean Experiment

Press Bulletin No. 9S, entitled, "Velvet Bean Seed; Results of Domination Ex- periments," is a circular recently issued by the Alabama experiment station, the exact value of which will be learned when the 1919 crop of velvet beans maturas The bulletin gives the results of a series of experimental tests recently conducted at Auburn to determine the germinatioa quality and vitality of velvet beans of the 1917 and 1918 crop, samples of which were sent in by county agents, farmers alfS seedsmen from over the state.
 The average germination of the Early Speckled beans of the 1917 crop was found to be 52 per cent; that for the 1918 crop, crop 15 were found of low vitality and l, good. Out of 25 tests of the 1918 crop 19 were found to be of good and only of low vitality There are some strong in- dications that velvet beans deteriorate With age under proper storage conditions and in full maturity" says the bulletin. The bad quality of the 1916 crop of beans was due principally to unfavorable wealth. CT conditions during maturity and har- vesting and storing them in damp condi- tion. Not only are the seed of poor Qual- ity, but the supply of seed is short as well. The bulletin recommends:
 1. Obtain the germination percentage of seed to be planted.
 2 Hand pick all decayed and broken seeds.
 8. Plant early in moist, warm and well pulverized soil.
 4. Regulate rate of planting according to germination percentage. 5. Make up deficiency of velvet bean acreage with soy beans, cowpeas and pea nuts.

NO BEST FOWL RATION

A well-balanced poultry ration contains the proper proportion of protein and car bohy ydrates to satisfy the needs and de- sires of the farm fowl, while it also carries the mineral matter, bulk and pal stability necessary to accomplish goou feeding results. There is no best ration superior to all others. The aim of poultry experts and practical farmers is to as- certain about what mixture of the poul- try feed gives the best results and then to use this relative proportion in making rations, or in substituting different feeds according to their price and availability.
 Modified tions of feeding methods are so numerous that the individual flock own. CT may select the method which he thinks best suited to his conditions. The av- craze farmer feeds his fowl on homes grown grain and rarely buys commer- cial or mixed feeds. Furthermore, fowl allowed free range on the farm pick up plenty of green feed, bugs and seeds dur ing the spring and summer, which help to balance their own ration during these seasons.
 It is also profitable to feed these hens any available surplus skim milk or but termilk which may be mixed into mash with the ground grain and combined with some beef meal or table scraps during the winter when the birds cannot get in- sects on the range.
 FEEDING NEW CHICKS
 Young chicks should not be fed for from 24 to 4S hours after matching, and will not suffer if given no feed until the third day. The yolk of the egg, which is absorbed by the chick, furnishes all the nourishment required during this time. It is this provision of nature for the first sustenance of the chick that makes it possible to ship newly matched chicks considerable distances.
 At the start it is advisable to feed five times a day, dividing the day itno equal periods. and alternating a mash or soft feed, such as johnnycake, with a hard grain or scratch feed.

Home-Grown Protein

Like everything else, the protein that comes in a sack is high priced; although, it must be granted. some of our highest rating protein feeds are still economical. all things considered. However, we can not get away from the fact that when feeds can be produced at home the togical course is to grow them. Feeds raised at home with only reasonable costs give the feeder a running start. If protein can be produced in the clovers, alfalfa, soy beans and other legumes it is good farm- ing especially when the production or these protein bearers generally has beneficial result on the other crops that follow on the same soil It is one of the few games that we know of where both ends can be played against the mldoie successfully In the case of young stock, as well as of dairy cows and feeding hogs, it always pays to buy highly concentrated pr otein feeds, such as digester tankaga, milling by-products, cotton seed, oil meal etc, but even these can be greatly assist ed by the protein that grows at nome The protein that farm animals gather without any application of man power IS perhaps the limit of desirapillty ana III good clover. alfalfa and soy bean pas t,,re we have this feature of the feeding business exalted to a high degree. The man who has alfalfa in rotation so that he can use it for hog, sheep ana cattie nasture for at least the last two years of it's occupancy of the land has fine protein feed bin.
 The man who has a good early variety of corn alongside field of sweet clover or alfalfa where he can make cheap pork by letting the hogs balance their own ra- ton has a good proposition-maKln rapid. economical returns with little ex- pense for labor. The man who mas plan.- ad SOW heans with his corn, so that the feed for growth and fat will be produced on the same land has utilized what IS bound to be one of the most popular methods of pork making, with the m c, asing scarcity of farm labor. It IS also a constructive plan from the standpoint of soil inprOVement.

Wool Consumption Off

Less wool was used by manufacturers in February of this year than in any month since monthly consumption reports have been issued by the Department Of Agriculture. February consumption was 27 100000 pounds grease equivalent, com pared to 63, 100000 in February year ago. a decrease of over 50 per cent.
 Consumption of wool during February, 1919, in classes by pounds, was: Grease, r 772, ,92O; secured, 3,467, ,457; pulled, 1,s46 4n Massachusetts used the most wool, fol- lowed in order by Rhode Island, PennsylA vania, New York, Jew Jersey, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Ohio and Maine.
 Strikes and the inability of small man. ufacturers to secure wool because govern ment auctions were on a cash basis are two of the reasons given for the decline ir consumption during February.

Harrow a Labor Saver
By ID. J. BURLESON,
Extension AgrOnOmist, Auburn

Our grandfathers cultivated corn by running single-foot blow five or more times to the row. They wasted labor be- cause they lacked many tools which we now have. Along no other line have we made more progress in agriculture than in the use of labor saving imple- ments. But we have not yet fully appre- ciated the labor-saving value of our sim plest and most common devices.
 The harrow is one of our greatest labor savers. We do not use it enough here in the south, neither the spike-tooth type nor the disk. In the preparation of our land for planting we need deep plow- ing, but the harrow should follow the blew. Good preparation saves labor iff cultivation.
 A spike tooth harrow does excellent and rapid work in the early cultivation O. corn and many other crops, where the crops were planted on well prepared seed bed The first cultivation should be given before the corn comes up or soon thereafter. This implement may be used every week until the corn is four to six inches high. It is usually advisable to run diagonally across the rows, thSs teeth being set so that they slant con- erably backward. This cultivation dc~s
 no permanent injury to the young plants. but it destroys young grass and weeds and makes a dust mulch to conserve the moisture The best time to kill weeds is when they are small, even when they have just sprouted After the corn is too high for the ha<Ov, a weeder may be used in the s>~S manner until the plants are about a foot high
 Land which has not been properly pre- pared may need more than a harrow while the corn is young. Sometimes corn under one foot in height. on clay land which has baked after heavy rains, or which was not well prepared before plant ing, will need deep blowing. After corn l is foot high it should never be cul- | tivated deeply.
 After corn is too tall for the harrow l or weeder, the two-horse cultivator, or
 the one-horse springtooth diverse culti- yator should be used.

When To Sow Kafir

Klir and milo will not germinate in cold soil. Delay seeding until the ground warns up. Seeding should start about May 15 and continue not later than Jun5 15 in the Panhandle region of Texas and Oklahoma. At lower attitudes farther east and south seeding may start earlier and continue later than the dates men, toned.
 Seeding must not be delayed too late or early frost will catch the crop before it can mature. Kafir requires from 113 to l25 days and milo from 90 to 110 days to mature, depending. on the season. These crops should be sown in rows spaced three and one-half feet apart The stani should be one plant to 10 or F inches or row space Thinner stands thaN this will be best in dry seasons Two to three pounds of good seed is enough to SOW one acre. The seed should be covered one inch deep in moist soil, while in dry soil deeper covering is necessary.
