IMPROVEMENT IN MARKETING
Margin Can Be Cut If Producers Will
A Work Together-Uniform Prod
4 uct Is Favored.

A. d. Wilson, chief of the agricul.
tural extension division of the Uni.
versity Of Minnesota, holds that the
price margin between the producer and
consumer can be cut down If the pro-
ducers in every community will work
together sufficiently to produce a stand.
ard product Of good quality and in
quantities large enough to let 1t be
marketed in carlots. Improvement in
marketing" he says, must be along
the line Of reducing the labor and ex-
pense required In getting the products
from the farm to the consumer. One
Of the things which tends to reduce
this cost is to have produced in com
munity a large quantity Of uniform
product" The marketing Of cooper
alive creamery butter is cited by MIR.
Wilson as an illuminating illustration
Of the truth Of his premises.

ERADICATION OF BLACKHEAD
One Of Most Difficult Of Poultry Dis
eases to Contend With-Freezing
Weather Helps.

Blackhead is one of the most diff
cult Of diseases TO eradicate and since
occasionally other poultry becomes af-
fected, II is well to carefully pillow up
all poultry runs, whitewash fences and
houses, and have all feeding vessels
burned or boiled. Freezing weather is
an aid in stamping out the disease. but
IL is best not to try to raise turkeys
the following year. If the disease has
been very bad on the farm. In be-
ginning with new flock another year,
be very sure Of your eggs or breeding
stock and that they come from place
that has not been infected.

Prepared by the United States Depart

Twenty-eight Indiana counties have
'aged intensive war against rats, in
cooperation with the United States

'ureau Of biological survey. special
lay was set apart for this purpose, at
which time, according to the official

estimates are to the effect that several

The economic value of rat extermi-

be impossible unless some method can
be found for successfully controlling
the cotton rats. Losses Of from 40 to
60 per cent Of the growing cane have
been reported. The bureau of biologi-
cal survey, however, announces the
determination of successful poisoning
methods, and it is believed that,
through demonstrations and advice
the growers will be able to control the
rats and reduce the losses to negligi-

The high-producing dairy animal is

Two animals not much spoken of
previously have gained prominence as
destructive rodents during the past
year, reports the chief Of the biologi-
cal survey. One is the mountain
beaver or swellel, a curious rodent liv-

west coast. 1t was formerly consid-

Control Measures Devised.
Control measures have been devised,
and representatives Of the depart

Oregon and Washington, where active
measures were needed.
The other animal that has come into

Serious Damage by Rats.
SO serious has been the damage by
cotton rats, however, that the prin-
