BRITAIN FEARS INCREASE
IN PANAMA CANAL TOLLS
Objection to the Exemption of
American Ships Was Disclosed
Several Months Ago,

The British government has indi-
Gated that it does not regard with
favor the proposition to exempt
American coastwise shipping from
the payment of Panama canal tolls,
as proposed in a pending bill by
senator Borah. republican, Idaho. The
British attitude was first disclosed
several months ago, when the State

subject. but there has been no recent
correspondence

Senate calendar Thursday in a posi-

any moment. however, it is expected

Though American coastwise ship

with British shipping. the latter be-

trade, the British objection is un-
derstood to be founded on the argu-

Careful Selection
Lessons BrOOdiness

Broody hens, like wayward children,
are a great discredit to their parents
and a source of annoyanc to all who
have to do with them. That is why
one Of the greatest concerns of every
ambitious and enthusiastic poultry
man is to restrict the appearance and
development of broodiness in his
flock. The U. S. Department of Ag-
riculturist has found hat broodiness can
be reduced very materially by careful
and persistent selection.
A study of the co-relations between
between broodiness and egg produc-
tion shows that pullets that are very
broody tend to lay relatively fewer
eggs between their periods of broodi-
ness.
There is no dominant cause Of
broodiness among poultry. Genetical-
ly there occurs four distinct types Of
non-broodiness and one of broodiness.
1t is believed that birds showing only
a slight tendency to broodiness belong
to the same class as the non-broody
fowls, as each has about the same
proportion of offspring. The deter
mination of broodiness Is complicated
by the fact that birds that are not
broody during the pullet year may
become broody during their second or
third laying season.

Hens ''ROll their Own

As a result of eight years feeding
tests Of the United States Department
of Agriculture poultry yards at Belts

posed which gives uniform egg pro-
duction. This mash which has been
tested for eight years, is made of 4
per cent bran, per cent nnddlings,
26 per cent meat scraps and sc per
cent corn meal In the experiment
the hens were allowed to select their
own mash ingredients. This is the
proportion of those different feeds
which they ate during the year. Sew
eral pens of 30 hens each, both of Leg
horns and of Rhode Island Reds

SunfOwers for Silage
Recommended in Ore.

In states where certain districts are
high in elevation so that corn cannot
be grown in sufficient quantity to
make il feasible silage crop. the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and the State Experiment sta
tions recommend sunhowers for silage.
Up TO a short time ago there was no
sunflowers nor in fact any silos in
eastern Oregon counties, but thru the
activities of the county agents OF
the department, cooperating with the
State Agricultural college, the use OF
sunflowers has become widespread.
Demonstrations are being carried on
in various counies of that state.
Dairy farmers in Wallow county,
Oregon. who fed sunf'owcr silage last
year. found that they could reduce
the cost OF production very material
ly. Now there are seventy silos in
that county this year. -Four years
ago there were but three. This year
thousand acres of sunfiowers have
been planted in this county in spite
of unfavorable season conditions in
1920, when much of the crop was not
harvested at all or harvested too late
TO make good silage.
Extension workers feel that there is
favorable indication of the apprecia-
ton of the crop on the part of the
Oregon stockmen. In Dechutes coun-
ty fiy or six hundred acrs were sown
in sunfiowers this year, the orders for
seeds being pooled.

Corn Crop Damaged
By Corn Root Worms
and Corn Root Rot
THIS YEARS DAMAGE ONLY A
FRACTIONAL PART OF THE
DAMAGE WHICH WILL FOLLOW
UNLESS PREVENTATIVE MEAS
URES ARE USED.

Numerous inquiries received at the
office of the State Entomologist in
dicate that the Colorado corn root
worm which is doing serious damage
to corn being grown on land which was
planted to corn last year. Apparently
much of the corn root rot that is be-
ing reported in the state is really the
work of this corn root worm.
The larvae or worms of this insect
eats off the corn roots and burrows
into the crown of the cornstalk just
below the surface of the ground, so
weakening it that the corn makes q
feeble growth and is easily blown
down by the wind, says c. p. Gillette,
State Entomologist of the Colorado
Agricultural College.
These root worms are white or yell
lowish-white in color with black head
and a black spot on the last segment
of the body. They are from eggs de-
posted at the base of the cornstalks
last August and September and only
attack corn grown upon land that was
in corn the proceeding year. Tn rem
edy is never to grow corn on the same
ground two years in succession.
The adult insect is a small stripped
beetle, somewhat resembling the
cucumber beetle, so well known to
the Eastern and Middle States. Dur
ing the months of August and early
September it is present in large num-
bers and may be noticed flying about
in the corn patch. 1t may often be
found feeding upon the tips or the
ears and even upon the silk of the
corn. Farmers throughout the state
who discover the presence of the corn
root worm are urged to notify the
state entomologist or county agent at
once.
