Women Gull Poultry
SIackerS and Save

In Missouri last year, 1876 birds
were eliminated from 1888 f1ocks
which were culled under the supervi-
sion of the home demonstration
agents sent out by the United States
department of agriculture and the
state agricultural college. This re-
suited in a saving of approximately
$50, ISL to their owners.
In another state, 486 local leaders
were trained, with the result that
THAT'S birds were culled. Of this
number, 274,399 were found to be
reproductive.
About 81 per cent of all the poul-
try in the country is cared for by
women. For that reason special at
tention is given to poultry by the
home clubs supervised by the de-
partment of agriculture and the
state colleges, and farm women are
taught best methods of poultry Sc
lection, breeding, raising, feeding,
housing, culling, canning surplus
birds for home use, preservation Of
eggs and cooperative selling of
poultry products
Lack of proper culling thus far has
proved to be, in the majority of
cases, the principal reason why a
flock is not profitable. Forty per
cent Of the hens in the average farm
fiack today are non-productiVe, and
should be sold or eaten. 1t costs
about 50 a year to feed each hen.
If she does not produce more than
that amount in eggs she is unpro-
fitable.

Smut Fan Saves Money,
Declares MIR, E, ], DOneen

From an insurance rate amount
ing to $50 per thousand to nothing
is quite a drop, but Mr.. E. j. Doneen,
president of the Whitman County
Farmers Union, of Oaksdale, Wash,
asserts that the smut-collecting fan
devised by the experts of the United
States department of agriculture has
done that for him. Moreover, his
wheat, thrashed from very smutty
grain, Q sold at discount OF
only per cent.
Addressing a farmers meeting at
Walla Walla, Wash, Mr.. Doneen
told his audience: 81 started thrash
ing on the worst place on my farm,
where the grain contained from II
to 20 per cent smut heads, and by
using the smut fan ran the smut
GU. through a pipe 10 inches in
diameter. At first the smut was vas
simply scattered over the. field, but
later we pust the end of the pipe
under the stack, thus preventing the
spread of the smut spores.
1--WE ran the machine for thirty
one days and had no fires or eXplo-
sions, although there were sixteen
explosions in the district last year.
L sold the wheat at only l per cent
discount, whereas without the smut
fan I would have been locked at
least 10 cents a bushel."

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The season
is at hand when the cotton farmer
will watch his profits falling to the
ground in punctured squares" the
work of the boil weevil. Fortunately,
however, the farmer is less helpless
than he used to be. 1t is possible
to control the boil weevil, the United
States department of agriculture has
found after long experimentation, by
busting the plants with calcium arse
nate. An adequate supply of the
chemical is obtainable this year, and
considerable busting. machinery is
available, though not sufficient to
meet the needs.
1t should be borne in mind, the
specialists say, that in poisoning for
boil weevil control, determination is
not secured and should not be at
tempted. The result aimed at is a
sufficient reduction of the weevil in
feStation to permit maturing a full
crop of cotton. About so per cent Of
the squares fall before reaching ma
turity even in the absence of weevilS.
The present system of weevil poison
ing is expected to keep the weevils
controlled to such an extent that they
will no more than offset the normal
puncture only about
as many squares as would have fallen
in any event. This means, usually,
that the weevils are permitted to null
tiply unmolested until they become
sufficiently numerous to puncture
more forms than would shed normal
ly. Poisoning is then started and
continued until the plants have had
time to develop as many bolls as they
will be able to mature. Poisoning
is then stopped and the weevils are
allowed to resume multiplication.
large increases in yield
frequently result from a compare
lively slight degree of control for a
short time. The effect is cumulative,
however, and can only be secured
by starting the applications at the

started 10 years ago, it aimed first
to tighten women's work and to lift
it out of the realm Of drudgery and
to aid in food problems. AS these
problems were being solved the
questions of clothing, home conven-
fences, increased poultry and dairy
productions, sanitary improvements,
food composition, food values, and

Home Canning Necessary This Year;
Labor in Canning Factories Scarce

Home canning--of utmost import
ance during the War-Will be just as
important this year, according to
present indications as they are viewed
by the United States department of
agriculture. The shortage of labor on
the farms makes it necessary for
the canneries to pay high prices for
the commodities that will be canned
later in the season. Labor in the
canning factories is expensive and
difficult to obtain. Everything, from
cans to carriage costs, has increased
in price, and transportation is slow
and more expensive than it was in
war times. All this increase must
be paid by the ultimate consumer;
and there is not even assurance that
there will be enough canned products
to go around. The solution is home
canning.
That sugar is higher in price than
it has been hitherto is advanced by
some as reason for canning either
less fruit or nothing but vege-
tables; but unless one intends to
give up sweets altogether there
seems no good reason for not using
canned fruit on account of high

To secure the greatest results, CO.

these warehouses were ignored in or
ganizing the association. The owner
of the seventh warehouse was per
mitted to hold 81 per cent of the
stock With such monopoly. this
gentleman was able to control the
business of the association, with the
result that all the sweet potatoes
were stored in his warehouse, and
the other warehousemen faced the
threat of being driven out of bust
ness. However, the seventh ware
house owner was finally made to see
the error of his ways, and through
the assistance of the field marketing

has been reorganized upon a truly

The Wrong Way; the Right Way;
Operate Along Business Lines

In the adjoining county were two
men who had made considerable
fortune in sweet potatoes, largely
through their ability to store their
potatoes in their own warehouses.
The other sweet potato growers were
able barely to exc out a small profit,
because they were compelled to sell
their produce Immediately. The two
warehousemen finally were prevailed
upon to interest themselves in the
formation of a cooperative assocla-
ton. The association was thereby
enabled to negotiate a loan from the
bank for the construction of ware
house to take care of the pooled pro-
duce. This was such an encourage
ment to the farmers that it was soon
necessary to construct another build
ing because Of a considerable IN
crease in crops.
The two leading sweet potato men
in this association do not hold a ma
iority of the stock. The organlza-
ton is a cooperative one in the full
meaning of the word. Each member
is on an equal footing with every
other member.
