Fertilizers Sold
Without Licenses

The result of the spring inspection
of fertilizers just completed by the
Bureau of Chemistry, Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture, shows that
several firms have violated the law by
selling certain brands without first sub
hitting registrations to the depart
ment and obtaining the required licen-
SEES The Secretary of Agriculture has
ordered prosecutions in the cases OF
thirty brands of fertilizers which Were
discovered to have been sold in VIC
lation of the law. Manufacturers have
been given every opportunity to regis
ter their different brands and in cases
where non-registered brands were
offered for sale the selling agent will
be held responsible Before contracts
are made with manufacturers for the
handling of the different brands of
fertilizers the selling agents should
make sure that each brand is properly
registered. Lists of registered brands
of fertilizers are published by the de-
rartment and can be had upon appli-
cation.

Experimenting
to Combat Fowl
Diseases

Poultry raising is one of the largest
industries in the country. The losses
from poultry diseases, although indi-
vidually relatively small, are collect
lively gigantic.
The Bureau of Animal Industry,
Pennsylvania Department of Agriclll-
tuIe, is giving serious attention to the
study of the diseases affecting fowl.
In addition to field experiments car
ried out on fiocks in different locali-
ties over the State, a model hen house
has been provided at the Bureau La
to:atory in Philadelphia for the pur-
pose of carrying on these experiments.
Reup, one of the most important CT
these diseases, is now being thoroughly
studied. The method of vaccinating
AGAINST this disease recommended b.
a number of investigators is being
tried out in number of fiocks.
Many times the unhealthy condition
of a flock has been found to be due
to overcrowding, unsanitary housing
conditions, etc. The Bureau therefore
urges that poultry men give these con
Gitions more consideration and thus
minimize their losses from disease.

Girls GirlS-Girls. Movie Supply Endless

Every day on the Universal City lot
may be found hundreds of young girls
who aspire to stellar prominence on
the screen. Doubtless the ambitions
of some of these some day will be
realized, while others will remain eek
tras" until their ardor is dampened
by repeated disappointments.
Many of the extras" come from
good families, have good homes, ami
work in the movies for the fun of the
experience. Others are star-worship-
pers, who are thrilled by the oppor-
tunity of working in picture with 4
famous player Still others seek the
employment as an easy means of earn
ing five to ten dollars a day, never
hoping to progress beyond that limita-
ton, and the rest are really ambitious
girls, with latent spark of talent,
which will some day be discovered by
an astute director.

to reduce the cost of getting farm PRO
ducts from the producer to the con.
sumer. No business men should rea-
lie better than the bankers that any
reduction that may occur in the
farmers returns should be preceded
or at least accompanied, by cores
ponding reductions in the prices of the
things the farmer must buy.
Bankers and all other business men
as well, should interest themselves il
the problems of the farmer and aid
him in securing facilities needed in
his business. They should not cowl-
tenance the assault now being made
on the farm loan bank system, which
enables the farmer to secure money
on favorable terms without commits.
siors or renewals charges, finances
him to carry on the fundamental ac-
tivity of our country, and makes pro-
vision for long time payments that he
may plan ahead where necessary. The
withdrawal of this aid to farmers
would, in my judgment, be blow to
agriculture in America and be harm
full to the country as whole. There
is a common interest of bankers and
farmers in this system Federal farm
loans encourage landowning, pros
porous farm citizenry in this coun-
try. That is the kind of farmers the
banks, whose chief business is to pro-
vide the personal credit and working
capital, desire for their customers.

doing all in it's power to improve agri
culture, to make it profitable, and tc
bring about more satisfactory rural
life in all its phases. In the prosecu-
ton of it's activities it seeks and earn

Bankers Backing
Needed by Farmers

"Your invitation to express through
your publication my ideas of how the
bankers of the United States can con-
tribute to the cause of agriculture
gives me the opportunity to say that
no vital class of business men have a
more vital relation to the prosperity
and stability of the farming industry
than do the bankers" said recent
letter from E. T. Meredith, Secretary
of Agriculture, to atbankers' magazine.
1.-THE foresight and sympathetic M
terest of the bankers have played, an
important part in the advance of agri-
culture in this country, and they are
in position to render even more help
full cooperation in the future. So long
as the farmer must contend in his
business with the elements of chance.
he must be supported by the conf
dence that back of him is the banker,
ready and able and willing to come
to his aid in time of drought, flood,
storm, insect visitation or other mis-
fortune.
Help from the banker in such times
of stress is seldom particularly haZ
ardous for the banker. Droughts may
come in two or more successive years,
and army worms may follow cyclone,
but the land will always be there and
continue to produce. There is no
greater certainty of permanency Or
ultimate return in any industry. This
is a point that should be more gener-
ally appreciated by bankers. Bankel $
should also have constantly in nina
that whatever is done for better farm
ing inevitably must react to the bene-
fit of the banker and all business.
The banker as we'll as the farmer will
draw dividends from good roads, bel
ter schools, more ample marketing
facilities. better rural living and so
cial conditions, more labor saving ma
chinery, better supplies of farm labor
These things mean prosperous and con-
tented farmers, whose production year
after year is the basis of prosperity
in the individual community and in the
nation at large.

part in what may be cooperative plan

Spraying Controls
Peach Leaf Curl

Satisfactory and effective control of
the destructive fungus disease, known
as peach leaf curl, is more readily Sc
cured by fall spraying than by treat
ments at any other time of the year.
Several reasons conspire in favor
of fall treatment, namely, greater ease
of haulingsspray outfits in the orchard,
less rush of work at that season, spray
outfits are usually in working condi-
ton, but best of all is the greater con-
trcl of the disease.
Experiments carried out by the Br-
reau of Plant Industry, Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture, show re-
duction of leaf curl disease by spray
ing TO only pUr 0rnC VI IIrrvoUio'4-'

The 1920 Census

The years since 1910 have seen
great world events directly affecting
the census of 1920, now in progress.
The Tripolitan and Balkan Wars and
the great conflict with Mitteleuropa
have so blocked immigration and set
up eastward counter-currents that an
increment possibly smaller than that
of 1910 is looked for Yet if that in
crement should shrink from 100000
to 100000, what record will re
maini
Few estimates of the population of
the United States proper fall much
below 100 ,000, 000-and in this swiftly
swelling mass the proportion of for
eign-born is much larger than it was
ten years ago. German scholars
should have warned their war lords
in 1917 that they were affronting a
nation more numerous than thatwhich
Spain had fought by an addition
greater than the entire Austrian Enl-
pire-a nation more nearly native
American than it had been for years
In other respects than numbers the
change is startling National wealth
has so leaped upward-both in fac
and in appearance, owing to the
marking up of assets-that most esti-
matters are probably too timid. Bold
ones who guess at 100000 100000 may
be nearer right. In twenty years the
value of farm products and deposits in
banks, unfailing indices, have quad
rupled The value of a single years
manufactured product exceeds the en-
tire wealth of any second-class nation
and of some first-class ones. The epoch
making changes in shipping and in
national gold-holdings are induces OF
power.

The supply of extra girls seems
endless. If the call gees out for ten
girls or a thousand to appear in big
scene more than the number required
can always be secured without the
slightest difficulty.
One day the girls viii appear in
evening clothes as guests at a social
function or as part of the audience at
the Metropolitan Opera House. A few
days later they may appear as Apache
girls in Partisan cafe, or as enter
tanners in a western dance hall. Some
of the screen wise" extra girls know
all about makeup and carry their own
cosmetic boxes, while others must be
made-up by assistant directors pro
vided for the purpose. But there are
very few of them who do not hope
some day to have their own dressing
rooms, their own directors and see
their names in electric bulbs in front
! of cinema palace.

More Good
Horses Needed

The thing most needed in the pro-
duction of work horses for American
farms is greater care in the selection
of the stallion and the brood mare,
say animal husbandry experts of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture who have been studying the
present situation with respect to horses.
Not only was there net decrease
of approximately $4,000 in the num-
Der of horses on farms on January
LIST, as compared with year ago, r,lt
the experts are of the opinion that
there has been an even more marekd
decrease in the number of mares brej
during 1919. The extent of this de.
crease can not be actually determined
until the colt crop of 1920 is estimated.
However, if the decline in breeding
is as great as conditions now indicate,
the country will be confronted with
seriously depleted supply of good
horses within the next few years.
Many farmers are using up their
work stock without making any pre-
vision for the future Such a policy is
short-sighted and will have serious re-
suits, according to Department of
Agricultural representatives. TIE
present need is to increase the per
centage of efficient horses by careful
selection of parents. One of the prin-
cipal factors from which the marke:
| is suffering is the breeding of too many
low-grade work animals. There is a
strong demand for high-class horses
at good prices the department says.

Reinforcement With Minerals

A ton of mixed manure in the stable
contains about 10 pounds of nitrogen,
5 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 10
pounds of potash This makes the
percentage of nitrogen and potash the
same, while the percentage of phos-
phoric acid is only half as high. A
commercial fertilizer of such percen,-
ages would be esteemed badly bal
anced one. Certainly the phosphoric
acid should be relatively high, as this
constituent of plant-food runs low in
the soil. If so pounds of IA per cent
acid phosphate were added to each ton
of manure while it is being made III
