adjoining an infected cow. or occu-
plying it later, are often found in

Lowering the vitality of the COW
makes it more apt to contract the
disease Feeding non-nutEious feeds,
starvation, stabling in dark and
poorly-ventilated stalls, filth, pre-
vious diseases, make cattle less re-
sistant and more susceptible to the

Relative to symptoms, there are
none which can be relied upon al
ways. The most suspicious are, con-
tinuously losing flesh, unthriftiness,
weakness, hair standing erect, coat

ing. Sometimes swollen lymph
glands can be felt when a cow is tu-
bercular. These glands are located
at he point of the shoulder, in the
region of the throat. and in front of

ent in intestinal tuberculosis.
A great campaign is being waged
in Florida to free it of this terrible
disease. Recent reports are encour-

to be done. The greatest precau-
lions must be kept always, at least
till the state has been declared "T

mile, Mr.. Fitzpatrick pointed to +: elds
of clover here and there which had
had a liberal dose of ground lime
stone to sweeten them.
I am certain, however, that the
reader will be more interested in a
field of corn on Mr.. Herbert An
derson's farm. Mr.. Anderson. who IS
quite an extensive farmer and or
chardist, informed us as we walked
out toward the field that this par
ticular field had been too poor to
grow corn or much of anything. He
spread three to four tons of ground
limestone per acre and then seeded
it to sweet clover two years in sue
cesSion. The field was kept in
sweet clover for four years and he
secured enough pasturage from the
.ield during that time to pay
the limestone and the seed. Mr..
Anderson, Mr.. Fitzpatrick az
estimated the corn crop at least SO
bushels to the acre, but I am GER
just how this corn looked, as Mr..
Anderson shucked an ear or two for
our inspection.
For the farmer who reads this and
wonde. IT it will paw him to
ground limestone on his land it is
merely necessary to say that the
farmers in McCraken county have to
ship their ground limestone a dis
and then haul it to their farms. Rut
u hen a farmer can insure himself
crop of red clover or sweet clover
on land when would not Nv
either without ground limestone, the
cost is not so great after all.

EYE TEST GIVES
WAY TO DETECT
T. B. IN CATTLE

The eye test for detecting tuberc~-
losis in cattle has the approve of
the scientists of the bureau of ami
NAL industry, United States depart
ment of agriculture. The opthalmic
or eye test is used as a check upon
the older methods, as it happens
occasionally that an aH!mal that will
not react to the subcutaneous injec-
ton or intradermal test will react
to the eye test.
Two tuberculin tablets are placed
in the conjunctival sac beneath the
lower lid of the left eye, and obser-
vations are taken at approximately
the third hour following and at fire.
quent intervals up to twenty-four
hours. Reaction to the test is indi-
Gated by discharge and swelling.
The bureau of animal industry is
not prepared to accept the evidence
OF the eye test alone where cattle
are intended for interstate shipment.
The test, however, furnishes an ad-
ditional safeguard when used with
The older method.
The eye test is not we'll adapted
for use upon range cattle or cattle
in transit, because of the possibility
for dust setting up an irritation not
related to tuberculosis. 1t has it's
best use on the dairy farm, where
conditions are such as to give sure
results.
The experts have observed that in
herds which are frequently tested by
the simultaneous method it is adj
visable to apply the intradermal and
the eye test. The combined tests
sometimes detect reactors which
have escaped detection by other

Probably no other diseases is a
greater menace to the cattle indus
try than tuberculosis, says a bulle-
tin from the college of agriculture
University Of Florida.
1t has been estimated that this
disease causes an annual loss OF
S4O,OOO,OO0 to the live stock indus
try of this country. Another fact
which makes this disease of great
Importance to mankind is that it has
been proven transmittable from cat
tie to man. This danger is prob
ably less than some people think.
Probably four or five per cent OF
tuberculosis in man comes from in
fected COWS. 1t is transmitted
through the milk and, therefore,
children are most frequently the VIC
Tins.
The germs are somewhat differ
ent types, depending upon the ami
NAL infected, according to DR.. A. l..
Shealy, professor OF veterinary
science at the Florida College of Ag-
riculture. 1t is somewhat long, STEM
der and curved in man; it is short,
wide and straight in cattle. The
bovine type, taken into the human
body, assumes the same character
istics of the human type. The germ
is killed by pasteurizing the milk.
Tuberculosis is transmitted from
one cow to another by contaminated
food land water. These are often
contaminated by the feces of an in

Grade Sweet Potatoes
And Avoid Losses.
When IN Storage
, M,Gr.IMTOCX
BY J. A. M'CLINToCK
Plant Psychologist Georgia Expert
ment Station

Losses of sweet potatoes in stor-
age are due to the attacks of para
site fungi or molds. Diseases like
black rot, stem rot, scurf, ETC., are
transmitted to the potatoes from dis
eased plants; while others, as soft
rot are not carried by the plants.
Soft rot, caused by the black, bread
mold, Rhizopus, is the most import
ant storage rot of sweet potatoes.
The spores or seeds of this mold are
found in the soil, on the tools and
containers used for harvesting, and
in dust floating about in the air.
These spores terminate and grow to
best advantage under moist condi-
tions, and do not readily attack the
dry uninjured skin of a sweet potato.
If RhiZopus spores lodge on cut
or bruised potato they readily ger
inmate and grow on the moist sur
face and soon turn the potato into
a rotten mass. The mycelium or
roots of the fungus are able to grow
from a rotting potato into an adJo1n-
ing uninjured one, and thus the rot
introduced on a cut potato may cause
the loss of many uninjured ones.
knowing that soft rot generally
starts in cut and bruised potatoes
it is important that care be used to
grade oas to remove all cut and
bruised potatoes from the ones in
tended for storage. 1t is preferable
to grade the potatoes in the field.
putting all the good ones in crates
or other containers to be transferred
to the storage house or bank. The
cut and bruised potatoes should then
be gathered and sold for immediate
use or FED to stock.
When the potatoes are being graded
all which show black rot spots should
be sorted out and fed to stock, as
they are not suitable for human food.
There is generally some loss from
routing in storage even under the
best of conditions, but it is not ad-
visabIe to attempt to remove such

In leaving Paducah by almost any
road, one is impressed with the fact
that most of the land is cold, white
and wet. 1t is the type of land that
will grow clover for a few short
years after it is cleared of timber
and then refuses to grow the crop
successfully any longer. AS we

the secret of it's growth. Two tons
of ground limestone and 1900 pounds
of raw rock phosphate had done the
business. This treatment had MADE

Citrus Growing in
South Discussed in
N ew Bulletin

"To what extent can citrus fruit
be grown in the sOuth?" How can
losses, such as citrus growers suf-
fered in the past, be avoided?" Can
money be made in the citrus indus
try?"
Because these questions have been
asked so many times and because
there is a widespread interest in the
subject, the United States department
of agriculture has made special
study of conditions in the gulf states,
the results of which have been pub
lished in Farmers Bulletin 1922, "Ci-
trus Fruit Growing in the Gulf
States"
This bulletin briefly sketches the
development of citrus fruit growing
in Florida and the other gulf coast
sections, points out some of the I'M
the earlier years and the lessons
taught by those experiences, empha-
sizes the Importance of choosing suit
able locations, sites, and soils, and
gives information concerning grove
management, including the prepara-
ton of the soil, planting the trees,
methods of tillage, use of fertilizers,
pruning, protection against frost in
jury, and the other operations that
count in the successful production
of citrus fruits.
The more important varieties of
the QllIef6nC citrus fruits, especially
for Florida conditions, are discussed
also many other matters that the
grower or prospective grower needs
to know about. The prospective
grower, who is not familiar with
conditions in the regions to which
he may turn his attention., is ad-
vised not to make any investments
until he personally examines the
land on which he proposes to locate.
This bulletin, which may be OBJ
tanned free on request to the United
States department of agriculture, is
intended to help not only the pros
er, but also to give experienced grow
ers a better understanding of the
most satisfactory methods in use
in the regions with which they may
not be personally familiar.

The war department in co-opera-
tion with the United States depart
ment of agriculture is conducting ex-
tensive research work in nitrate fix
alton at a large laboratory near
Washington. This work was begun
in April, 1919, by authority of Sec
rotary of War Baker. with an an
of farm paper correspondents and
farmer organization representatives
visited the laboratory recently and
inspected the highly interesting and
\ successful experiments now being
carried on.
The functions of the fixed nitro
gen research laboratory are the in
vestigation of methods of fixing nj
trogen by the Haber cyanamid, arc,
and miscellaneous processes, and
the Investigation of methods of dis
posing of nitrogen products for eX-
plosives, in agriculture and other
wise. A 20-acre test plot. in Ala
bama is being used in practice trials
of the various forms of fixed air nj
trogen in actual crop production. In
these experiments with corn and cot
ton the records indicate that cyana-
Chilean nitrates in crop growth.
Cyanamid must be carefully han
died, and tests are in progress to
find the best means of applying it to
prevent damage to the plants and
yet to be effective as a fertilizer
The experimenters used 80 pounds to
the acre, which is much more than
the farmer would use in field dis
tribution.
In the experiments the cost Of
manufacture has been considerably
less than the prevailing prices of
any form of nitrates now on the
market. Tests are being made to
develop forms of nitrate easy to
handle, safe for the crops, and
economical in production, and which
may be used in combination with
other fertilizing elements.
The results of these experiments
and tests in the Washington labora-
tory provide an abundance of con-
vincing proof of the wisdom of the

extent of their work can be gotten
from the following summary of some
OF the things they have accomplish
ed during the last fiscal year:
More than 1000 girls and 1000
women have been enrolled in and do
ing home economic work in Florida.
These girls have filled more than
$4,000 containers with fruits and
vegetables.
They made 2,772 garments.
Furnishings for their bed rooms
were made by 1,O54 of the girls.
About 1000 have learned to patch
Or darn.
Twenty-three are enrolled IL a Go
to College club"
The women have filled $4,000 con-
tainers with fruits and vegetables.
In one county there were sixteen
beeves and sixty hogs canned.
Pure-bred poultry has been intro
duced in 1900 farms.
The fernando County Egg circle
received $4,000 for their poultcy
produce.
A campaign for more milk for chill
dren has been carried on throughout
the state. Good dairy cows have been
purchased by many club members.
Eighty members have kept the cost

in Florida.
Sixty-three homes have been re-
modelled Under direction of home
demonstration agents. Thirty-one
lighting systems have been installed;
twenty four homes painted; three
whitewashed.
Eighty-three home orchards have
been started. Eighty-four club mem
