DON'T CROWD GROWING CHICK
Where Space Is Limited Youngsters
Become t~Overheated, Causing
Outbreak Of Colds.

Growing chicks must not be confined
to crowded quarters at night. If they
are. they will become overheated and
this, in turn, will lead TO the develop
ment of colds Of which 1t Is very diff.
cult to rid the flock and which may
be carried along through the summer
and fall, causing a serious outbreak
Of colds in the laying f1ocks the fol-
lowing winter.
How can one tell whether or not
the chickens have enough room? One
Of the best indications is the condi-
ton of the plumage. II the plumage
is bright and clean 1t is a good sign
that the birds are doing we'll and have
room enough. If the plumage Is sciled
by droppings, 1t is an indication that
there is not room enough for all Of
them on the roOsts, with the result
that some are compelled to rest on
the floor beneath the rcosts and thus
become sOiled.
A trip to the growing houses after
dark will also determine whether
enough room is being provided. If
there Is not space enough so that al
the chickens can find room on the
roosts. the quarters are too crowded
and some Of the chickens must be
taken out. If all can find room or
the roosts comfortably and II the
house is well ventilated. the quarters
are not crowded and the youngsters
should do well.

Celery plants should be sprayed with
bordeaux mixture every ten days to
two weeks to prevent leaf diseases,
which often seriously injure the crop
for market purposes. These leaf spots
occur generally In celery-growing dis
tricts IN the United States during cool,
moist weather. Homemade bordeaux,
composed of 4 pounds bluestone Coop
per sulphate) and 4 pounds stone lime
to 90 gallons of water, is the cheapest
and best fungicide for the purpose.
The spraying should be begun while
the plants are still in the seed bed and
continued throughout the season. The
sprayings should be more frequent

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Figures from which the farmer can
compute for himself the cost of pro-
duction Of corn, corn for silage, wheat,
oats, and hay, under given conditions,
are presented in a preliminary report
OF labor and material requirements Of
those crops, recently issued by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. These figures W the normal
hours Of man labor and horse labor,
and quantities Of seed, fertilizers, etc,
required per acre for each crop, as
determined by surveys by the office of
farm management and farm econom-
les.
Apply Basic Factors.
The money cost is found by apply
.ng to these basic factors the current
rates for labor, seed, etc. Inasmuch
as it has been found that, in general,
labor and material costs approximate
50 per cen of the total operating cost
for these crops. it is easy to find this
total when the labor and material costs
are known.
The figures given represent average
crop requirements for the regions
where Investigations have been made.
If the farmer does not have precise
lures for his own farm, he can esti-
mate them pretty closely by taking the
average for his w region as a basis
and applying current rates for labor
and materials. with due allowance for
any unusual conditions that may exist
in his own case. The method Of com
putatiOn is as follows:
1. Determine the total cost Of labor
and material per acre by applying cur
rent rates to the quantities Of labor
and materials obtained from the in
dividuaIs own records, or, If such are
no available, use those given in the
table.
Z. Determine the total operating ex-
pehse per acre by dividing the cost OF
labc- and material by the percentage
figure given for each region.
3. Determine the total acre cost Of
production by adding the interest
charge or the cash rent paid for the
use of land.
4. To determine the cost per bushel
or ton divide the total acre cost by
the yield per acre.
The following example shows how
this method worked out IN figuring
the cost or corr for silage or an Iowa
