h better of the exchange in this
session. The Elizabeth boxer also
won the fifth round by a good "a
gin, his ability to stave off advances
by his Staten Island opponent was
rapidly telling on the latter.
Maize was the aggressor in the
sixth round and he fought cautious
ly throughout this session. He de-
sired fighting at close range for in
this way he could Outright his oppon-
ent, and numerous times in this
round ne waded in and gained the
advantage over the Elizabethan.
Again "a the seventh round, Maize
beat his opponent. The Staten Is
is.ud ac-er was 70. cling thu fighting
and held the upper ha &C over
Smithers throughout the seventh
session.
From the bell in the last round,
Smithers forced in great style. He
followed Maize about and succeeded
in landing his one, w in machine

BLACKHEAD AND PARASITES
KILL MANY YOUNG TURKEYS

Lexington, Ky. More young tur-
keys are killed in Kentucky each year
by blackhead and parasites than by
any two other troubles affecting these
birds, according to ]. Holmes Martin,
in charge of poultry work at the Col
lege Of Agriculture. Unless Matched
and brooked artificially, young birds
suffer heavily from parasites while
many deaths often result from black
head, which is serious and infectious
disease, it was pointed out. Control
of these two troubles represents an
important problem in this state, which
stands fifth among all states in turkey
production, Mr.. Martin said.
Taking care of the mother hen be-
fore the eggs are Matched has been
found to be a good way to keep the
young birds free from lice. god louise
powder, such as sodium flouride. ap-
piled close to the skin below the vent
and on the head, back and legs of the
mother hen will rid her of life. A
small piece of blue ointment about as
big as a pea, placed on the skin I'M
der the vent, also is effective in con-
trolling the pests.
"As a preventive measure in the
case Of blackhead, it is vel Ito dis
infect carefully the utensilc used for
feeding the turkeys. as well as their
houses, and then to keep the sick birds
in a dry place which is we'll lighted
and ventilated.
"Sick birds should be isolated at
once. A Z, 3-grain tablet Of bichloride
of, mercury should be dissolved in each
two gallons of drinking water and
kept before the young poults for two
DAYS. Nothing but clean crock or
wooden vessels should be used.
Further steps to prevent the spread
of blackhead may be taken when tur-
kew of chicken hens are used as moth
ers by housing them in coloney houses
about six feet square, each of which
should be located in the center of four
equal lots or runs. Keeping the poultr
on fresh ground by means Of changing
them from one lot to another every
ten days will help keep down the
spread of the disease. Green crops
should be kept growing in the lots
which also should BIO lined frequent

TOBACCO STRAINS PRODUCED
TO CHECK SERIOUS DISEASE,

Lexington, Ky..-Root-rot, a disease
held responsible for immense losses
suffered each year by hurley tobacco
growers, can be controlled by use Of
strains Of tobacco which are resistant
or immune to the disease, according to
a circular describing such strains
which has just come off the press
at the Kentucky Agricultural Expert
ment Station. Resistant strains hav-
ing quality at least equal to that of
commonly grown varieties already
have been produced on the station
farm, the publication states.
Although held to be one of the most
serious diseases affecting tobacco,
root-rot is recognized by comparative
ly few growers as a distinct disease,
the publication points out. The dis
ease rots the roots as they develop
and although it does not kill the
plants entirely. many Of them are seri-
ously stunted by 1t. Symptoms of the
trouble commonly are attributed to
lack Of rain, low soil fertility. or the
fact that tobacco is hard" ON land.
The fungus causing the disease has
been found in a majority of the white
hurley fields examined during the last
two years, the publication states.
A total of 26 strains Of white hurley
have been tested, these being the re-
suit Of 16 selections of Judy's Pride
and 10 selections of vimont Kelley, all
made from severely diseased fields
because they showed signs of being
highly resistant at the time of selec-
ton. Fifteen of the 16 Judy's Pride
selections proved resistant while the
ten selections OF vimont Kelley, which
have ben tested one year, all have
proved highly resistant.
On new land, as good results should
be obtained with the resistant varie-
ties as can be obtained from common
ly grown ones with the added advant-
age of uniformity, making topping
and grading easier. On diseased land
or that which has grown a single crop
of tobacco, the value of the resistant
varieties is unquestioned, the publica-
ton concludes. Copies Of it may be
obtained free by writing the Expert
ment Station for Circular n. %.

CONTROL OF WEEDS BIG
NEED FOR CULTIVATION

Lexington, KY, Corn cultivation
that destroys weeds most effectively is
best regardless Of how deep it goes or
how often it is practiced, according to
results Of the experiments conducted
for ten years at the Kentucky Agricul-
tural Experiment Station. Moisture
conservation, once considered chief
reason for cultivation, is secondary in
Importance as long as weeds are kept
down, the tests showed.
To determine the need for cultiva-
ton, the weeds on one plot were kept
down by being scraped off with a
sharp hoe. Despite the fact that no
other cultivation was given, this plot
yielded 52.9 bushels of corn an acre,
as an average for ten years, or only
three bushels less than the cultivated
areas. However, this method of weed
control was cont considered, prac-
teal because of the labor and expense
involved.
Over the ten-year period, the aver
age yields for shallow and dep cult
walton practiced six to eight times dur
ing the growing season have been 55.5
and 56.2 bushels respectively while the
average yields for shallow and deep
cultivation practiced three to four
times during the season have been 55.8
and 56.1 bushels respectively.
Observations on the Lexington
field show that cultivation conserves
moisture if drouths begin when the
corn is SMALL" R. e. Stephenson, soils
specialist of tn station, said in discuss
ing the results. However, after the
corn is we'll started and is about knee
high, the feding roots are able to take
up most Of the moisture that the crop
can utilize before it has a chance to
ovaporate from the surface even
though there is no cultivation other
than scraping weeds.
THE outstanding thing brought out
fy the experiments is not the fact that
cultivation is not needed but that 1t
should be given at such time and In
such a manner as to most effectively
destroy weeds"
