KEEP TANKS FREE OF
Fs.A SCEM

{ With the coming of warm weather
there win again be the troublesome
problem of keeping water tanks. clean
and free from ,green scum that forms
so quickly in water that stands for
any length Of time. This scum is
composed of tiny plant like growths
called algae. According to DIR. G. y.
Rice of the veterinary. department. of
Iowa State college. this growth of
algae is not hard to keep in check, if
the, tank is covered SO as to exclude
Many tanks are of such a size and
SO located that covers are not prac-
tical. A very small amount of copper
sulfate or blue vitrol, which can be
bought at any drug store or telephone
Office, is the cheapest and most effec-
tive preventative yet found. The cop
per kills the organism and settles to
the bottom of the tank, preventing
further growth and at the same time
the amount of copper in the water
viii not be large enough to poison
livestock.
The most convenient method used
is to tie the blue vitriol in a cloth
sack and hang it near the inlet pipe
so there will be a constant circulation
of water around it.. One.half ounce
to so gallons of water is enough for
all ordinary algae and this must be
replaced as soon as new grOwths ap.
pear in the tank.

NECESSITY OF FUTURE
ORGANIZATION

Iowa wool growers 9 were saved
$4,000 last year when they cooper
atively marketed their 1,250,000 pounds
Of wool according to the secretary OF
the Iowa Wool Growers Association
V. G. Warner, of Bloomfield.
u Steps are now under way following
a committee with extension workers
of Iowa State college to keep the
5000 members now in the association
as members and to increase the mem.
bership for the following season.
This year, says Mr.. Warner. with
the benefit of last years experience
and with more adequate facilities for
shipping and handling we hope to do
q greater amount Of business and rem
der the farmer a greater service. "
The wool market is now at a high
tide according Ito market reports.
During February 1920, $4,000, O09
pounds of grease wool were used as
compared to 27,00O.O 900 pounds a year
ago. Prices run from So to 6S cents
a pound for ,3-s blood wool to 81 cents
and $1.00 for fine staple quality. The
local value of wool can be figured by
deducting 4 per cent for shrinkage,
half cents for local handling and in
terest on the investment.
Cow test associations during Febru-
airy made some. good records, according
to reports turned into c. L. Black
man, dairy agent with the exten.
sion department Of the Iowa State
college. 4 Marshall county stood first
with a record Of 1867 pounds of milk
and 62.4 pounds of fat. Benson was
second with 1414 pounds Of milk and
59.7 pounds OF fat There were 1905
cows tested during the month, 81 of
which produced over SO pounds of fat
and 262 produced over 40 pounds.

IOWA CORN IN
DANGER

That the sweet corn industry Of
Iowa is in danger unless the European
corn borer is exterminated at once is
the opinion of DR.. E. D. Ball, state
entomologist and professor of ento-
mology at Iowa State college.
y, This pest which has been found in
the east and has been imported from
Europe, has been sought after with a
vengeance. 1t bores UP the stalks of
the corn and then gets into the ears
and spoils them. This would spoil
the canning crop and the minimum
Joss would extend into the millions.
AT present the United States Depart
fments OF Agriculture is not doing any
ethinG to eradicate the pest.

HOG PRODUCT STOCKS NOT
BURDENSOME

There has been, much talk by the
packers about the burdensome stock
of hog products. AS a matter of fact
the pounds Of hog product in
storage the first of April were less
than at this date in 1919 or 1918. There
are now 349 ,O0O, 900 pounds of hog pro.

hog prices began to rise very rapidly
ab51,r this time Of the year, in spite
of the fact that the stocks on hand
were even larger than they are at the
present time. The present stock of
hog products is somewhat larger than
before the war, but in view of the
fact that our exports are still about
so per, cent greater than before the
war, it, is evidently essential that we
have somewhat greater stocks on
hand.-yvalace's Farmer.
