CLEANING A COUNTY
OF HOG CHOLERA

A county free from hog cholera this
year is the goal to which swine breed
ers in Steuben county, Indiana, are
working, under the guidance of the
local county agent and the district
veterinarian of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. AS a result
of a persistent campaign for the con-
troll of cholera and strict organized
effort to eradicate 1t, there has been
a remarkable decrease in the disease
in the county during the last two
years. In 1917 the loss from cholera
in the county, according to the county
agent, was about $4,000. In 1913 1t
was a little less than $4,000, and in
1919 It was about the same. In 1920,
however, only three cases occurred in
the county, which leads the swine
breeders to believe that if their efforts
to control the disease are continued
cholera can be practically eradicated.

ARE EGGS BELOW THE

This is the period of low prices of

SPRAY WATERMELONS
TO PREVENT DISEASE
fnx ans. ?. sPENcEAl

During 1919 more than 10000 acres
of watermelons were sprayed in Flor
ida; in 1920, by estimate, only 5000
acres were sprayed.
The time for spraying is almost
hero; as the disease. for which the
treatment Is given, attacks the vines
when the plants are small and. If i
makes good Roadway during this pc
riod, there will be few melons pro-
duced and those that are produced
will be irregular in shape and of poor

that cannot be cured: Preventive
measures consist in covering the leaves
with. thin coat of bordeaux mixture
with a spray pump. When the plants
are small II Is not difficult to cover
all the leaves, but with a heavy
growth OF vines II Is difficult to get
down into the vines and cover them as
they should be. The most practical
method OF reducing the damage by
anthracnose is to spray the vines with
4-4-50 bordeaux mixture, using a
heavy spray pump.
With a large outfit used last year
by growers near Dunnellon, 1t was
possible to spray 25 to so acres a day
at a cost of rs cents TO $3.50 an acre.
including the cost of material and
labor.
Make the first application when the
vines begin TO run. Spray the second
time about one week after the first
melons have set and the third time
about two weeks later. If moist
weather prevails. the spraying should
be continued every ten days, until the
crop IS about matured.
While this operation involves some
expense. about SIS for a 10-acre field.
1t Is justified by the saving therefrom.
II the spraying is delayed until the
vines are all dead. 1t is auseless ex-
pense. Spraying with bordeaux is a
preventive measure, not a curative
ono.

VELVEY BEANS OF
MANY VARIETIES

Inquiries as to what variety of vel
vet beans to plant are still being re-
ceived by the agricultural department
of the University Of Florida.
Several are recommended. The Flor
ida or speckled velvet bean is an old
standard, but it is surpassed in pro-
ductiveness and in early ripening by
some other varieties, among which IS
the Chinese.
The Georgia or early specified is one
of the earliest maturing varieties. It
does not make as much leaf and vine
growth as do the other varieties, but
IL natures in about 100 days.
The Osceola and Wakulla varieties
were originated from hybrids pro-
duced on the farm of the Florida Ex-
pertinent station. They are superior
in that they are early and quite pro-
ductive.

AGRICUL TURAL NEWS NOTES OF INTEREST
UNSETTLED PRICES
OF FERTILIZERS
Many Farmers Think Price too High
and Advocate CurtaiIns Use.

Due to unsettled price conditions,
some farmers believe that 1t will not
be wise to use fertilizers this year.
Many seem to think that the price is
too high for use with profit on the
main crops of the south. Some of
these opinions are undoubtedly based
on reports recently issued by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
which did not take into consideration
that there has been a material lower
ing in all prices for fertilizers in the
south since the early part of Janvary.
The fact is also that despite the great
load of debt which the individual fer
tilizer companies are carrying for
farmers from last years business, and
despite the high prices which these
companies paid for their crude mate
rails last year, they are accepting their
losses and have sacrificed all profits
TO give farmers low priced plant food
tor this spring.
Indications are that these facts are
not generally known over the south.
Many farmers are holding up on their
orders and the dealers have not put
through their orders TO the companies.
AT this time, however, there is great
activity and orders are coming in to
all the companies. Because of the late
decision on the part of many farm
ers, some OF them will not be able to
get all the plant food that they will
need for this years crops.
Unless the crops are properly fed
the acre yields will be seriously less
ened and the cost of growing each
pound or bushel of crops will thus be
greatly increased, which will make the
margin of profit to the farmer much
smaller next fall. Experiments show
that good acre yields and profit cannot
be made on the soils of the south I'M
less the plants are well fed. 1t is
thought that the farmers who do not
get fertilizers in time to put under
their crops at planting time should
place their orders at once so that they
might receive the goods in time to
make a side application.
Leading farmers and college men
have found that this side application
will be nearly as effective as the APP
plication under the crop. Such is not
the case in boil weevil territory, how
ever, and farmers who will grow cot
ton under these conditions should rush
their orders through at once so as to
have q supply of fertilizers in time for
planting. AS stated in a recent issue
of the Progressive Farmer, the south
fertilizers this spring and common
sense dictates that he should place
his orders as quickly as possible.

HOW TO PREVENT

which is known in Florida as rust
usually causes damage to the tomato

There is little damage during dry
weather, nor is there much danger as
long as dry weather continues. But
one must be on the alert, because the
disease is present in practically every

From many sections Of the country

farmers will fertilize; others will not.

source is space above and about us
and it can be tapped by the farmer
himself. He can start his factories
and go off to fish or to sleep; the fac

The factories are the roots OF le-

SPRIGS OF HEATHER
FROM BONNIE SCOTLAND

A few days ago Judge Gordon re
ceived a box Of Scotch heather sen
by a relative in Glasgow, Scatland
The Judge distributed springs of the
beloved emblem of his native country
among several of the men of Scotch
blood of the community including E.
Y. Muir, Rev. McIvor, VIM. Rae, and
VIM. Ross. The editor also came in
for a sample as he is proud to ac-
knowledge a trace of Scotch blood
in his veins.
The Judge explained why the
heather holds such a firm place in
the hearts of Scotchmen and is so
frequently referred to by Burns and
other Scotch poets. The heather is
a small plant, apparently of the ever
green family that grows to a height
of about a foot. On it's upper twigs
it carries perpetually a bloom of a
light purple or lavendar shade, and
has a pleasant aroma. Under the
varying conditions of weather and
light it takes on a wonderful variety
of attractive hues, and lends great
beauty to the hills of Scotland which
it covers like sage in parts of our own
country. 1t provides both shelter
and food for game birds, as well as
grazing for cattle.

THE PRICE OF WHEAT
Nashua ~Independent-

NdSiQd liloSPSiAoShh
Some thousands of wheat farmers
in Montana are interested in the
price of wheat-what it will be when
they market their crop and what 1T
will be later. These hard working
members of the population OF the
state will be interested in the pre-
diction by George L. Ramsey, presl-
dent of the Banking Corporation OF
Montana, and a prominent banker of
Helena, as quoted in a newspaper IN
terview, that the price of wheat is
going up. Mr.. Ramsey is quoted as
follows:
"While unquestionably borrowing
farmers should sell their wheat
promptly in these days of financial
need, yet, in my judgment there is
every reason to look for a substan-
tial increase in the price of wheat.
The 1921 crop of the United States
will be 757 million bushels. We will
REQUIRE $50 million bushels for our
w use and have 237 million bushels
available for export surplus. we eX-
ported 365 million bushels in 1920,
of which so million was imported
from Canada, so that the small
amount we have to sell abroad this
wear should raise the price mater
tally. Sixty-four million bushels were
exported in the period from July l
to August Is, leaving 102 million
still to be exported; and it is going
out of the country at the rate OF
about 10 million bushels per week.
It does look as though there should De
a substantial increase in the price OF
wheat in some ten weeks.
"The Canadian crop this year is
hut rs million bushels larger than
last year; the wheat crop is an utter
failure in France, Germany and ali
continental Europe and England has
suffered the worst drought IN loo
years" -
All this is very interesting but
when the Montana farmer considers
all the elements in the case includ-
ing the wheat gamblers, the impover-
isbment of Europe and Asia by the
war. the paralysis inflicted upon eX-
norris bv exchange rates, it still seems
to be anybody's guess as to the future
price of wheat.
