CROP IMPROVEMENT
ASSOCIATION IS TO
BROADEN SERVICE
TO COOPERATE WITH FARM
BUREAU i N MARKETING
MICH. GROWN SEEDS

Wider distribution of high grade
Michigan grown seeds has been in
sured by the Michigan Crop Improve
ment Association through a plan of
cooperation whereby the State Farm
Bureau will aid the Association in
its marketing work.
Details of the cooperative plan
were worked out at recent meeting
of the Improvement Association
Board of Directors at which time j.
w. Nicolson, Manager of the Seed
Department of the Farm Bureau,
was named sales representative of
the Association, and A. L. Bibbins
was elected secretary, to fill the Office
held by Mr.. Nicolson before he Joined
the farm bureau staff.
That the identity of the Crop I'm
provement Association would be in
terfered with in no way by the CO.
operative plan was brought out clear
ly at the directors meeting. While
Mr.. Nicolson will handle all quantity
sales, both in and out of the state,
sale lists of certified seed will be got
ten out by the secretary of the asso-
citation, as in the past, and the seed
produced by members of the associa>
ton will be available to any individ-
ual or seed company in the state.
Stimulation of production and
widespread distribution of high
grade seeds will be the aim of the
cooperation between the Crop I'M
provement Association and the Farm
Bureau, says Prof. j. f. Cox, head
of the Farm Crops Department at
the Michigan Agricultural College
and member of the association
board of directors. Trained seed
inspectors will be furnished by the
Farm Crops Department of the col
lege, as in the past. Lists of certified
seed will be prepared by the I'M
provement Association, based on the
inspection, and then Mr.. Nicolson will
handle his large scales from these
lists, although farmers and seed
houses will all have access to seed
produced by any member of the I'm,
provement Association, whether or
not they belong to state agricultural
societies"
R. G.. Pits, vice president of the
Michigan Farm Bureau, has been in
vited to attend all meetings of the
Crop Improvement Association Board
of Directors, in order that full CO.
operation between the tw organiza-
tions may be worked out at all times.
The development of greater field
for out-of-the-st distribution of
leading Michigan grain varities is
expected to follow the new arrange
nsent for Improvement Association
sales. The demand from other states
for Michigan seed is increasing ire
mendously every year and satisfac-
tory service to meet this demand is
one of the things the cooperative ar
raneement will insure.
Records of the Crop Improvement
Association, membership matters.

taken care Of by the new secretary,
Mr.. A. l.. Bibbins. For five years
member of the Farm Corps De-

HATCH CHICKS EARLY
IS ADVICE OF MAC.
POULTRY EXPERT
APRIL is BEST MONTH. PROPER
SELECTION AND STORAGE
OF EGGS IMPORTANT

That chicks should be Matched in
early April, rather than in May or
June, is the opinion of Professor c.
II. Burgess, of the Poultry Depart
ment at M. A. c., Lansing. The rath-
err common practice of Matching in
the early summer is mistake, ac-
cording to the college authority, for
the April chicks are said to mature
in time to begin laying in the fall of
the same year.
The following rules for selecting
and storing eggs which are to be in
cubated are given by Professor Bur,
CESS: Select eggs with uniformity
of color and shape. Never incubate
eggs weighing less than ounces
each GA ounces to the dozen)-the
eggs of best size are those weighing
&c ounces to the dozen. Gather the
eggs often so that they may not be-
come chilled. Select eggs that have
uniform thickness of she'll and are
not rough on the surface.
"Store these eggs by setting them
on end. Turn them daily, and keep
them in a temperature of from 55 to
SIS degrees. Never keep eggs more
than two weeks before incubation
the sooner they are set after being
laid the better. Eggs received from
poultry men should be allowed to
stand for AZ hours after they are re-
ceived before being placed in an in,
cubator or under a hen.
"There is very little difference be.
tween the methods of natural and ar
tifcial incubation. If incubators are
to be used it pays to buy standard
makes. While they cost more at the
beginning, the easier control of heat
and other advantages Of the standard
machines make them far more prac-
tical in the end"
