SHEEP AND STOMACH WORMS

The flock in the eastern states has
two enemies. the dog and the
stomach worm. For the former the
principal efforts of control must be
devoted to securing protection thru
the law. Most states now have eff
fective dog laws, but require o
little agitation TO secure their en-
forcement. IL is well TO keep a few
of your sheep with bells so that if
the dogs worry them during the
night, you can hear them. Many
men find it advisable 20 keep the
flock in a lot at night with a high
dog-proof fence.
The stomach worm is a thread-like
worm, one inch TO one and a quar-
ter inches in length, with thin red
stripe running spirally through its
length They mature in the fourth
stomach of sheep, cattle and other
ruminants and produce small eggs
that pass out with the droppings.
Under suitable conditions the eggs
hatch in from a few hours to several
weeks, and the Larvae develop TO a
Stage where they can crawl up
blades of grass. II is here that they
are eaten by sheep ana are able to
develop again in the fourth stomach.
Thus it is seen that by continuous
use of pasture and Overstocking, the
danger is greatly increased, and
that if the sheep can be kept from
the same area for couple of years,
and rotated from one temporary
pasture to another every two weeks,
the trouble may be avoided.
The effect of stomach worms are
due to the fact that the parasites
extract blood from the animal as well
as nutriments from the fluids in the
stomach, and that red cOrpuscles Of
the blood are destroyed by a poison
ous substance secreted by the worm
and absorbed by the blood. That is
why animals become pale, thin,
weak, stunted and may even die, be-
cause of poor condition. The skin
becomes white and paper-like and
the membranes of the mouth and
eyes lose color. In advanced stages,
watery swellings develop beneath
the jaws.
Frequent changes of pasture, the
use Of fields that have been under
cultivation, and the avoidance of
wet and undrained areas and remov-
ing sick animals from the flock,
are means of reducing the trouble.
The Department of Agriculture
strongly recommends the use Of cop
per sulphate, or bluestone, as cure.

SUGGESTIONS ON CORN GROWING
CONTINUED From Last Week.
Method Of Planting

The difference in yield between
planting in checks or in the drill
is slightly in favor of the latter, but
generally, the difference is not
great enough TO pay for the extra
labor required to destroy the weeds
in the drill. A good rule 10 follow
is: II the land is foul with weed
seed. or labor is scarce. check the
corn: if the land is clean, either
method can be employed: if il is
rolling land, drill the corn, by all
means.
Planting on the level is easiest
and best, except in wet, stiff bot
toms, where ridging is likely TO prove
most successful. On ceytain loose
dry, sandy soils, or late in a dry
spring planting ir. a shovel fur
row gives good results.
Rate of Planting
Yield is closely related 10 the
rate of planting. If maximum re-
suits are expected. plant as thick
rs the land will bear. Generally
thicker planting than is customary
will give greater yield. Always
plant enough corn TO insure a
stand, as replanting seldom pays
The rate Of planting depends upon
the fertility and preparation of the
land. On good soils. three stalks
per hill, in 3h foot checks, or IL
inches apart in 3l5 foot rows, is
about the right thickness. On aver
age soils, 2h stalks per hill, or i8
inches in the drill. is advised. On
poor soils, such as should not be
planted to corn. thin rather than
heavy planting gives The best yields
For maximum yields on highly pre-
pared and fertilized soil, $4,000 TO
$4,000 stalks per acre are necessary.
Depth of Planting
Plant only deep enough TO insure
moisture for good termination.
Early in the spring on a well pre-
pared seed bed, one inch is deep
enough. Later, two or three inches
deep may be necessary.
Cultivation
This should be shallow. TO con-
serve moisture, liberate plant food.
kill weeds and allow roots TO feed in
tie rich top soil. Narrowing corn
a few days after planting destroys
weeds just sprouting. and allows
the first cultivation TO be delayed
a few days. After the corn is up,
cultivate with a smooth harrow
or weeder at least once. This
can be done until the corn is
six to eight inches high. The
first cultivation other than the
above may be deep, but before the
corn is six inches high. All other
should be shallow--not
over two inches deep-unless after
a hard packing rain, when a little
deeper cultivation is permissible, II
the corn is not over ~ inches high.
Cultivation should be every eight
or ten days, or oftener if a crust
is formed, and should be continued
until corn is five feet high. In case
of dry weather, a dust mulch
should be maintained until silking

time. Joe Gatlin and Bob Abney
were following this method of cul-
tivating last Saturday, when the
County Agent passed through Dis
putanta. Talk TO these farmers and
they will tell you il pays TO culti-
vate shallow and often.
Suckers
Suckering depends on the fertility
of the SOIL the amount of water
present, and the variety Of corn.
Thicker planting tends TO reduce the
number Of suckers. Experiments
show no advantage gained by pull
ing the suckers; however, seed
stalks make better ears than those
made on suckers. II suckering is
done, do il when the ground is
moist and before the corn is eight
inches high.
Harvesting
Pulling fodder should never be
practiced, because the gathering is
very hard and expensive; in damp
weather il is difficult to cure the
blades, and on an average one
bushel of corn is lost by shrinkage
for every 100 pounds of fodder
saved.
IF the corn is harvested for the
grain alone ii should be gathered as
early as the corn is dry enough, so
il will have a chance to dry out
AID freezing will not iniure its ger
miuation. II the corn is used for
silage, it should be cut when in a
hard glaze.

Special Dlspstch 10 Every Evening


Dover, JAN 27.--In the controversy
between the towns Of Smyrna aud Clay
ton over site for q new school bousc and
also the location Of the du Pont boulevard,
representatives Of Smyrna already have
been heard by the State Board Of Eduea-
tion. Citizens Of Clayton have presented
their views on the subject in the follow
ing statement:
The people Of Clayton and wcst do not
contend for the new school building To
be put halfway between Clayton and
Smyrna, but set forth a few reasons why
il should be placed much nearer Clayton
than remain in Smyrna, at or near the
present site in Smyrna The location as
contended for by the Clayton people is
about n 15-ninute walk from Smyrna
station and five minutes walk from Clay
ton station.
The reasons advanced for the Clayton
end are as follows:
/. Fifty-nine per cent Of the high
school pupils come from Clayton and
west, while Al per cent come from Smyrna
and cast.
3. Trains arrive at Clayton from
north, south, east and west between
S.3S and S.55 a. M: therefore all pupils
could be on time, while TO go TO Smyrna
fb'S 6It ltuHt ~ W stp JifUluhS ibif.
Trains depart after school hours for
north, south and east between 3.42 and
All p. m.
3. No danger Of the main line Of the
ID. d G. railroad service being discon tinu-
cd.
4. Out-of- town, yet within reach of
adequate water, sewer and electric light.
8. If Clayton and the towns west
continue to grow as IN the past, they will
soon send more than 73 pupils to the high
school, while Smyrna and east can hardly
be expected To make an increase over their
present 50.
As To The State highway, Clayton and
west merely ask that the road be placed
on the western edge of Smyrna. They
are not asking for any location, nor for Il
TO come close enough 10 be of any financial
benefit. Smyrna people say they want
a straight road, while IT is known that the
new road below Smyrna is full Of the old
time curves. To come west would cause
very slight curve and would join the
present State road at Duck Greek.
Clayton people feel they have the points
and arguments in both school and road
proposition, notwithstanding the fact
that Smyrna is represented by one of her
citizens on the State Board Of Education
and by another citizen on the State
highway commission.
