FARM BUREAU AND
/ AGRICULTURAL NOTES

So announces E. E. Clayton, extern
sion plant pathologist of the Ohio
State University. He says that root
and ear rot infestation is "tremen-
dous" this year, more than twice as
bad as in 1920.
EARS attacked early in the past
season can be picked out by eye, be-
cause of a white mold which covers
them. However, for every ear visibly
diseased, there are at least lO others
in which the trouble lies unseen.
"On indoor test, such ears germ
mate a normal number of sprouts
and the sprouts at first look perfectly
normal. Later, however, they rot.
In this fact lies the immense impor-
tarHe of the corn termination test
this winter. Unless it is employed,
corn yields next year will certainly
suffer.
"We ran small plats here at the
University, trying seed from healthy
ears against seed from diseased ears.
Good ears yielded approximately 50
per cent more bushels to the acre
than ears infested with the rot. Ger
mination testing is the only way to
prevent such differences in Ohio
corn fields TeXt year.
"For effective testing we recon-
mend seven-day growing period
and temperature around 80 de-
grees. The benefit is twofold, in
that the yield is increased, and the
spread of the disease from field to
field checked"

DESIGN BRACING SYSTEM
TO SAVE APPLE TREES

Horticulturists at the Ohio Expert
ment Station report that through
various systems Of bracing, fruit
trees may be saved from destructive
storms.
A common method of bracing wide
spreading branches of mature trees is
to connect them with iron rods which
are secured through the limbs with
eyebolts. The rods are tied together
in the center so that each limb braces
the one opposite to it.
With young trees which show a
tendency to develop divided centers,
braces may be made by intertwining
living branches from each half.
These coalesce after three or four
years, forming single, smooth limb
having two places of origin.
Another form of bracing consists
in supporting lower over-hangipg
limb to more upright and stronger
branch by inserting a vertical graft.

The Fancier and the Farmer

The poultry fancier, he who breeds
pure bred poultry for commercial
purposes, would have small trade
were it not for the farmer who, tht
not fancier, wants pure bred chicls
ems for his, use. Usually he believes
any pure breed is better than NOM
grels,. and, WE'LL they look much
nicer, anyway, around the place. II
the farmer keeps but one breed he
must Of necessity get new blood oc-
casionally. Yes he ought to every
year. This is usually don'e thru the
purchase Of male birds of no kin to
his. This plan, while it Is no doubt
a good plan, is, to say the least, a
bit risky, unless the farmer has a
friend, or breeder well known to him,
Of whom he can get this new blood
and depend on its being O.. X. But

whom he knows nothing, only what

EARLY-MATURING BIRDS
YIELD HIGHEST RETURNS

Are late-maturing pullets profit
able? To answer this question the
Ohio Experiment Station kept care
full records of a flock on the South
eastern Test farm at Carpenter,
Meigs county, to determine the firan-
cial returns from early-maturing as
compared with late-maturing pullets.
The returns from a flock Of so
early-maturing birds were $500 per
fowl, while late-maturing pullets
averaged only $3.25 per bird. The
returns were based on egg prices Sc
cured on the Cleveland market.
The late-maturing pullets did not
come into production until late in
December ard in only one month did
they surpass the early-maturing lot
in percentage of egg production.
This commends the practice of
poultry-keepers in selecting early
maturing birds and marking them SO
as to use them exclusively for breed
ers.

REPORT or ANNUAL
WOOL GKOWERS MEET

A .
The arinual meeting of the Wool
Growers association was held in the
Farm Bureau Office Tuesday after
noon, Dec. 6. The meeting was well
/ attended.
! Carl Abbott was elected president
of the association for the coming
year; A. S. Garfield, secretary-treas-
urer. The members of the Executive
Committee are Leonard j. Easton,
Seville; C. T. Copley, Sharon Center;
H. Clement, Brunswick; E. r. Clapp,
Spencer; and A. G. Abbott, Wads-
worth.
The president was authorized to
appoint a delegate to the annual
Wool Growers meeting at Columbus
during Farmers Week.
Mark Smith Of the Ohio Farm
Bureau Federation, Columbus, gave
an interesting and instructive talk,
showing that the future outlook for
the sheep business was bright, and
that prices had advanced $500 per
head for stock ewes in Idaho during
the past three weeks.
Ohio leads in the marketing OF
wool comparatively. One-third of In
diana's wool has been marketed thru
the Ohio association in the past year.
| Stomach worms cause more trouble
in sheep than all other causes put
together. The emergency tariff is
practically the only thing that has
given the wool industry in this coun-
try any projections.
Mr.. Smith said that statistics show
that the following to be true: From
all the wool grown in this country a
piece of cloth only A inches square
could be made for each inhabitant.
Medina county during the past
year has shipped 66,514 lbs. of wool
to the wool pool in Columbus. Of
it's 256 members, 223 have consigned.
In reality it was 100 per cent con-
signment since the other 33 members
had no wool to consign.
Medina county has 1876 share
holders in the wool warehouse at CO.
lumbus, making total of about
$4,000 worth of stock.
