WHERE BIRDS GO TO
SPEND THEIR WINTER

Investigations on the status of
birds in their winter homes have been
undertaken by the Bureau Of Biolog-
zeal Survey. L. S. Department Of Ag-
riculture, in connection with admin
istration of the treaty with Great
Britain for the protection of birds
migrating between the United States
and Canada. That many of these
birds winter in South America may
be surprising to some. but 1t is known
to be the case. Valuable material
collected by Or. Alexander Wetmore,
of the survey, who recently returned
after a years absence i'm Argentina,
Paraguay, and Uruguay, during which
he studied the status of our migratory
birds in those countries, will throw
much light on the subject.
Among our more familiar birds
that DR.. Wetmore observed in South
America was the well-known barn
swallow, that ranges with flocks of
native swallows in open country. Ma
ny of the species encountered were
shore birds found thru the marshy
pampas or on the coastal mud flats;
some were found to winter well north
in the Tropics and others to travel
as far south as the Straits of Magel-
Ian. Among our game birds seen in
Argentina and elsewhere were the
golden plover and pectoral sandpper.
That Federal protection of migra-
tory birds is proving a success is
recognized by the majority of sports
men and nature lovers. Ducks, geese
and other migratory game birds have
not only increased in number, but
have reappeared in sections where
they had not been seen for years.
Recently there have been a number
of inquiries as to the possibility of
arranging treaties with countries in
Latin Amerca for protecting migra-
tory birds similar to that with Great
Britain. One of the objects of DR.
Wetmore's trip was to secure infor-
nation as to the feasibility of such
action.

Well-rotted barnyard manure when
comparatively free from weeds is the
most satisfactory fertilizer for fall
sown alfalfa, according to specialists
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. 1t should be spread on
the land before blowing, in order that
il may become thoroughly incorporat-
ed with the soil. Good results also
follow from heavy applications to the
preceding crop.
II the manure Is not available, a
liberal application of commercial fer
tilizers rich in phosphoric acid should
be made. The per centage of nitro
gen may be low, but some nitrogen
should be supplied for the use of the
young plants before they become in
oculated and are able to secure their
supply from the air. On most clay
soils heavy applications of potash
have not been profitable. A COM
bination which has been commonly
recommended is muriate of potash
rs to 100 pounds, acid phosphate $50
TO 500 pounds, and nitrate of soda
so to rs pounds. The cheapest and
most satisfactory method by which
the consumer may obtain such COM
bination is to purchase the desired
ingredients and mix them himself in
their proper proportions.

GOOD HEALTH DEMANDS

Louisville, Ky, July 30.-Actuat-
ed by reports from all over the South
that pellagra again is assuming cpl
demic proportions, DR.. A. T. McCor-
mack, State Health Officer, today is
sued a general warning against the
disease in the name of the State
Board of Helth. DR.. Mccormack
himself is to leave this city tomorrow
for Washington where he will at
tend a pellagra conference of the
State health officers of the Southern
States called by Surgeon Gneral Hugh
Cumins of the U. S. Public Health
Service.
1.-THE seriousness of the situation"
DR.. Mccormack said, ais indicated by
the fact that President Harding has
requested the Public Health Service
and the American Red Cross to in
vestigate and report on the manner
in which the national government
may most effectively render aid in
the crisis. While conditions in Ken
lucky are not nearly as bad as they
are elsewhere, they are beginning to
approximate the conditions under
which pellagra became so serious in
this State a decade ago.
IF the people of Kentucky would
remember that pellagra can exist only
where there is a defective diet and
would TAX pains to eat along judicious
lines there would not be case of
pellagra in the State. Persons who
eat lean meat, fruit and vegetables
and who drink milk never develop
the disease. Exercise in the open
air, an abundance of pure drinking
water and an adequate amount. OF
sleep also are of use in preventing
pellagra.
while the same diet that will pre-
vent pellagra will cure the disease,
anyone who thinks that he is effect
ed should place himself under the
orders of physician and follow that
physicians instructions. The most
obvious symptoms of the disease are
a peculiar irruption and progress
sive weakness"

The object Of the Remount Asocia-
ton is the improvement of general
purpose horse conditions In every
State in the Union: and because Of
the importance of the work entailed,
Col. +. S. Armstrong, OF the United
States Army, has been placed in
charge, with headquarters In Washing

ton, with the cooperation of others
similarly engaged, has, during the
eighteen months of its existence,
succeeded in getting one hundred and

America, inaugurated. Recent reports
from the Associations headquarters
in Washington show that there has
been an average of fis.y.five mares for
each stallion, although the breeding
season is not yet concluded. Also, at
meeting of the Association, II was
shown that there was a demand for
some seven hundred horses last
Spring, and that, for the coming
Spring. this demand will be doubled

1t may be added that. owing to the
broad plan of fostering the industry
of horse breeding as practiced for
generations by the British. French and

were in the enviable position of ability
to supply their armies with good

Under the present trade conditions

possible that under the proposed

The investigations will cover a
large field and consideration will be
given to all factors of comercial i'm

tobacco, such as color, texture, body

on which grades will be established.

Cooperate In Standardizing
Ernn Estimnting Work

Crop Estimating Work
An agreement for conducting work
in Standardization and crop estimat-
ing on a cooperative basis has been
entered into by the Bureau of Mar
kets and Crop Estimates, United
States Department of Agriculture and
the California state Department OF
Agriculture. The purpose OF the
standardization work is to bring
about an improvement in the use OF
existing standards and to establish
additional standards for fruits and
vegetables as well as to coordinate
the shipping-point inspection estab-
lished in California, with the food
products inspection now conducted
by the Federal bureau in central
markets.
The object of the cooperative work
relating to crop estimating will be to
coordinate the State and Federal SER
vices and to develop intensively the
crop and live stock service for the
special benefit of the people of Cali
fornia and the general good of all
interested in the agricultural indus
try.
An organization consisting of
eight specialists and technical men is
being formed to conduct the work.
While headquarters for this work
will be at Sacramento, branch offices
will be opened and maintained in va
rious parts of the State.

Hens Need Good care and Feed In
The Summer Time

|
In the rush of summer work the
hens often are neglected on many
farms. This is poor economy, be-
cause the care they receive then will
determine to a large extent the profits
to be realized.
The poultrymen of the Department
of Agriculture advise that hens be
given free range, if possible, during
the summer months, and if they can
not be given free range that as much
green feed be furnishd as thy will
readily consum. Milk is excellent
during the summer months. Butter
milk also may be used. Even when
the fowls have range, if the grass is
dried up it is advisable to furnish
green feed or milk. Milk will take
the place of green feed Be sure that
the hens have constant supply of
clean water all the time.
The department advises feeding
about equal parts of scratch grains
and of mash for the average during
the year, but the pullets will not eat
the dry mash freely in the fall, so
that it is necessary to feed them 2
parts of scratch feed to l part of
mash, reducing this to about equal
parts of mash and scratch feed Feb
ruary /, and still further reducing
the scratch feed about June l so that
the hens will eat nearly parts mash
to l part of scratch feed. Feed
scratch grains lightly in the morn
ing and give a full feed in the even
ing, feeding roughly about three
times as much scratch grains in the
evening as in the morning. Differ
ent flocks will consume different
amounts of feeds. but roughly the
following should be fed

Discover New Facts About Rust OF
Grain and Grasses.

Grain and Grasses.
Investigations of the leaf rust of
grains and grasses are being made
by the United States Department of
Agriculture in cooperation with the
Purdue University Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station. These studies
consist principally of experiments to
determine the relationships of the
leaf rust of wheat, rye, and barley,
the determination of possible biolo-
gic forms of these rusts, the study of
a wide range of plants as possible
secondary hosts, and cultural studies
OF the leaf rust of wheat to determine
what grasses may serve as hosts for
this rust.
Extensive studies have been made
in the greenhouse at La Fayette,
Ind, where rust spores collected from
numerous species of grasses have
been sown on various plants which
possibly may act as secondary hosts.
The existence OF biologic forms OF
leaf rust of wheat has been discov-
cred, and it Is now known that these
forms have a wide range Of grass
hosts.
In addition to the greenhouse stu
dies, more than 200 wheatvarieties
and selections were sown in Tennes-
