STOCK PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
Among Controlling Factors Are selec.
tion Of Animals and Feed and
Management.

Wellestabllshed systems Of live,
stock production consistently followed
from year to year are the outstanding
needs OF the livestock industry, ac-
cordlng TO conference of animal
husbandry and marketing extension
workers held at Chicago. Economy OF
production, the conference agreed, is
the most important factor over which
farmers have control. Producing live
stock of the best quality at the lowest
possible cost was urged and partlcu
lar emphasis was placed on economy
OF production rather than increased
production as the key to a prosperous
industry.
Among the controlling factors In
economical livestock production, In
the judgment Of the conference, were
selection OF animals, choosing OF ra.
tlons and good practices in care and
management. Delegates TO the con
ference included United States De
partment OF Agriculture specialists
and animal husbandmen and extension
workers OF agricultural colleges In ths
Central West.

Of Agriculture)
About 1900 pounds OF cabbage seed
OF the Wisconsin All Seasons variety,
which Is highly resistant to the disease
known as cabbage yellows," was pro-
duced in the Puget Sound section Of
Washington during the season OF 1921.
Cabbage yellows Is caused by fungus
which Is capable OF persistlng in fav-
orable soils indefinitely and causes
serious crop losses In infested regions.
Dlslnfection Of the seed reduces the
danger OF carrying other cabbage
diseases TO new districts, but the In
yestlgatlons Of the University OF Wis
consln have shown that the selection
OF resistant varieties offers the only
way OF preventing loss from yellows.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture, In cooperation with the
Wisconsin experiment station. has for
some time been investigating the
disease and assisting growers and
packers In the production OF cabbage

CROCODILE MADE EASY PREY
Man-Eating Monsters In Borneo Fall
Victims to the Simplest Form

Man-eating crocodlles are one of the
greatest causes of the high death rate
among the natives of Borneo, where
they flourish In great numbers and
grow to an enormous size. often at
tanning length of more than 80 feet.
The crocodile hunter of Borneo pro-
vides himself with straight piece OF
hard wood sharpened at both ends,
and a 50-foot line Of rattan. The bait,
usually partially decomposed pig, Is
lashed to the sharpened wood and
placcj In place where the crocodile

When the crocodile swallows the
bait and starts to leave the vicinity
the stick Is pulled into it's original
position at right angles to the line
and the pointed ends bury themselves
In his abdominal lining. The next
morning the hunter explores the vicln-
ity and discovers the coils OF rattan
floating on the surface OF the water.
He then calls In about 20 OF his
friends, and the monster Is pulled
ashore, killed and carried to the
nearest station OF the Dutch govern

Colonies having large brood-cham-

colonies having good queens may need

grain, but 1t is considered more eco

However, the soft-feed idea should

for the fowl to grind the grain; but
the powerful muscles of the glzzard are
there to be used, and experience has

fetal. When feeding molstened ground
feed, have 1t a comparatively dry,
crumbly mash, and not a thin slop.
Give what they will eat readily in Is
to 20 minutes.
Poultrymen do not agree as to the
time OF day when soft feed should be
fed. Some say it should be fed in
the morning, others at noon, and still
others at night. Many give the ground
feed in the morning, large number
at noon, and few at night. The
number who feed at noon, however,
Is becoming larger. In the egg-laying
experiment In West Virginia report
ed 10 the United States Department
of Agriculture, the egg production was
practically the same whether mash

CHIEF VALUE OF SANDY SOIL

The chief virtue Of sandy soil is that

OF Agriculturs.)
Like most outlaws, the notorious
Jim Crow has some points that are
commended among law-abldlng citi-
zens, but when he Is bad bird he
Is hard-boiled egg. His springtime
ravages on the cornfield are largely
responsible for his unsavory reputa-
tlon. but he has added to it by occa-
sional raids on the poultry yard, dep
relations on wild birds, and attacks
on crops other than corn. At certain
seasons and In certain localities he
becomes such a nuisance and a detrl-
ment to farming that he must be
warned by making an example Of some
members OF his gang.
Jim is only about half bad, and be.
cause Of his better half, which does
not mean his wife. who Is lust as
black as he is, it Is not advisable to
treat him too harshly. Nearly one
fifth Of his food Is made up of in
sects, and he includes on his menu
some Of the farmers worst enemies
grasshoppers, caterplllars, and white
grubs and their parents, the May
beetles.
Been Going Too Far.
Probably we could not get along so
well without Jim Crow as with him.
Killing or the whole family, II that
were possible, would be a short-sight-
ed policy. SO, when the United States
Department Of Agriculture recon-
mends the poisoning Of crows, this
measure should be looked upon mere
ly as warning TO Jim and his family
that they have been going too far and
that they can't get away with every
thing. They are wary enough not to
need many repetitions Of the lesson.
Every spring farmers revive their
old feud with the Jim Crow family,
carrying on a desultory battle by
means Of scarecrows, epithets. and the
more effective deterrents of coal tar
and poison. Coal tar, which may be
secured at gas plants and some paint
shops, is not a poison, but 1t imparts
dlsagreeable gassy odor to the seed
grain that Is distasteful to crows and
other pests. II has the advantage,
not possessed by some other deter
rents on the market, of not affecting
the termination OF the corn when
used In limited quantities. A table
spoonful Is used to half a bushel Of
seed.
Strychnine ls Favored.
The best deterrent, however, is
strychnine. which may be applied to
corn In paste made up In the pro-
portion of one ounce of powdered
strychnine, two tablespoonfuls Of
starch, and one and one-half pints Of
water to 20 quarts Of corn. The starch
and strychnine are put into the water,
which Is heated to boiling, and stirred
well when the starch begins to thick
en-. This paste is poured on the corn
and stirred into II until thoroughly
distributed. The corn is spread to
dry and is then ready to use. This
method Is better than the old one of
sleeping the corn In strong strych-
nine solution. Because of their war
mess II will not be possible to kill
many of the crows, but little OF this

prepared by the United States Department

United States grades for peaches
have been reissued by the United
States Department Of Agriculture
The grades contain only minor
changes from those recommended In
1921.
In past years peaches have been
graded chiefly with regard to Size.
The United States grades are based
wholly on market quality. Under this
term are included such factors us
color, maturity, general appearance
and freedom from Insect and fungous
injuries. Minimum sizes have not
been specified for the various grades,
but the numerical count and minimum
size or style Of pack OF the peaches
must be stamped on each package.
This is a well established practice In
handling boxed apples and citrus
fruits.
Meet Commercial Needs.
The No. ] grade is designed to meet
the normal commercial needs OF the
trade and consuming public by elm
mating damaged stock which might
cause loss IN transit. II also pro-
vldes that the peaches shall be Of one
variety, firm, mature and well formed,

disease, Insects or mechanical or other
means.
The No. grade includes peaches
Of one variety which are firm, mature
and free from worm holes or serious
damage caused by disease, insects or
any other means.
A fancy No. ! grade is also provld-
ed for those who desire to pack an es.
pecinlly fine product. In this grade
will be packed only peaches which are
free from all damage by Insects or dis
eases and which In addition have

amount has been fixed at 80 per cent

The departments action In reissu-
Ing the grades is the result OF the
favorable acceptance and use OF the
grades last year by growers assocla-
tlons, state marketing officials, and
the trade generally. During the early
investigations by the department there
was considerable skepticism as to the
practicability OF formulating grades
which would be uniformly acceptable
to both northern and southern dis
tricts, but actual use OF the grades on
large scale under the supervision OF
specialists Of the bureau OF markets
and crop estimates has won over many
