PROTECTION LASTING
TOLITTLE PURKERS
Series of Experiments on Dura-
ton of Immunity.
Assertions by Some Observers That
Simultaneous incubation Is Not
Lasting Disproved by Special
lists at Ames.

A series of recent experiments on
duration of immunity to hog cholera
following simultaneous incubation of
young pigs supports the conclusion
that the protection Is lasting. The in
vesfigations were conducted at Ames,
Ia. by specialists OF the United States
department of agriculture.
Altogether I'll pigs, inoeulated when
week 10 six weeks old and exposed
TO hog cholera. at times varying from
nve months 10 nine months and twen-
ty-siX days later. were found without
exception TO be immune TO that dis
ease
Three of the pigs, however. died
during the period of exposure from
causes other than hog cholera.
There was no apparent ill-effect
from the/simultaneous incubation in
any % the pigs.
There was no difference in the i'm
munity of pigs from immune and nom
immune sowS.
Pigs that were approximately one
week old received ten cubic centime-
tiers of anti-hog-cholera serum and
one-haIf cubic centimeter of virus.
rigs that were three weeks old or
more received from IL to 20 cubic CEN
umeters of serum and from one-half
TO three-fourths cubic centimeter OF
virus
immunity was tested by injecting
five cubic centimeters of virus into the
animals when they had attained
weigfts exceeding. in many cases. 200
pounds. None of the hogs contracted
cholera. The experiments appear to
d'sprove assertions by some observers
that simultaneous incubation of young
pigs IS not lasting and that immunity
disappears at stages of growth var-
ously placed from weaving time up
to 90 or GO pounds in weight.

PROPER DEPTH FOR FLOWING
Experiments Have. Exploded Theory
That Deep Cultivation Prevents
Drying Out Of Soil.

Keep your mules fat. or If you have
a tractor, save gasoline. as expert
ments have exploded The theory that
deep cultivation prevents the drying
ont of the soil. NJ C. SeweH. of the
aGronoiny department. of the Kansas
State Agricultural college. draws the
following conclusions from expert
ments:
Flowing deeper than seven inches
hes not generally resulted in an in
crease of crop yields.
Shallow blowing may produce as
large yields as deeper blowing.
Proper rotation of crops lessons the
number OF plowings necessary
Cultivation may be necessary only
to kill weeds and keep the soil In
receptive condition to absorb rainfall.
Thus. where the policy of blowing Is
that of thorough cultivation in order
to maintain a soil mulch. 1t is pos
sihle to reduce the amount Of cult

Georgette maintains its position as
the favorite material for blouses. but
