Seedmen May Study In Government
Laboratories

Persons interested in learning
the approved methods of testing
commercial seeds are offered the
facilities of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture in Wash
ington, without charge. Although
the department does not pretend
ito conduct a seed school with out
lined courses and classes, 1t has
for a number of years permitted a
few people to study in the Govern
ment seed-testing laboratories, and
in July and August an expert in
seed tseting devotes his time to
helping them.
Those who have taken advantage
of the opportunity in past years
have been in most instances the
sons of seedsmen or young men and
women sent out by seed companies
to learn the best methods that have
been developed. The number taxi
ing up the work usually ranges
from to 15. and thus far the de-
partmept has been able to care for
all applicants.
These students become familiar
with crop seeds. seed adulterants,
weed seeds. and other foreign ma
terials frequently found In COM
mercial seeds. They are shown al
SO how to make detailed analyses
for purity and how to test seeds for
termination. II scotsman has a
special problem arising out OF the
peculiarities OF his business. he is
given every possible aid In solving

opportunity to give those who
know the commercial side OF the
seed business additional knowledge

That there are strong teeth in
the law protecting migratory birds
was demonstrated recently by the
Federal Judge for the eastern dis
trict of Arkansas when he sentenced
to four months in Jail a violator
brought before him on the charge
of selling wild ducks. This is the
twelfth Jail sentence imposed for
infraction OF the migratory bird
treaty act. the sentences ranging
from five days to six months. The
States where Jail sentences had
previously been imposed are Ark
ansas, Connecticut. Florida. Illi-
nois, New Jersey. South Carolina,
and Virginia. The act is admins
tered by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.

| in spite of the fact that a small
amount of attention and care would
bring them into laying when they
are from six to seven months old.
Getting eggs three months earlier
at time when egg prices are like
ly to be high is an important factor
in increasing the profits from the
flock, Mr.. Smyth has pointed out.
1T is important that the growing
stock be separated from the rest of
the flock and placed on range in
develop normally. 1t also is ad-
visable to separate the cockerels
from the pullets as soon as sex can
be determined. Only those cocker
els which are needd for breeding
purposes should be kept. The pull
lets should be placed on range
where there is plenty Of shade and
good colony house TO protect
them from bad weather. This house
should be well ventilated and afford
protection from rats, weasels and
other small animals. II is essen
tial that the pullets have plenty of
room in the house. this being es-
pecially true in the fall wnen over
crowding on cool nights is apt to
start an outbreak OF roup.
"A balanced ration fed through
out the summer helps the pullets to
grow properly. Many of the lead
ing poultrymen of the State have
found that best results are obtained
when regular laying ration is
used. A good mash for this pur-
pose can be made OF 100 pounds of
bran. 100 pounds Of shorts. 200
pounds of corn meal and 100 pounds
OF tankage or meat scrap. This
should be kept before the birds at
all times in self-feeder. They al
so should be given as much grain
as they eat Of the dry mash. II
plenty OF sour skimmilk or butter
milk is available, tankage or meat
scrap can be leN out Of the mash.
In addition to the grain and mash.
ground limestone or oyster shell,
some form of grit and plenty OF
fresh water should be kept before
the birds at all times.

of its technical aspects. 1t is an
effective way to improve the quail
ty of seeds sold to farmers and,
consequently, to improve yields.
Persons who contemplate taking
up this work this season should
plan, If possible, to start about

Poisoned Bait Successful Measure
Against CutwOrms

Poisoned Bait Successful Measure
Against Cutworms
Cutworms can readily be con-
trolled by the use of poisoned bait,
the United States Department OF
Agriculture has demonstrated. This
is the way to prepare and apply
the poison:
To / bushel of dry bran add l
pound of white arsenic or Paris
green and mix thoroughly into a
mash with gallons of water, in
which has been stirred one-half
gallon of sorghum or other cheap
molasses. This amount will be
sufficient to treat A or acres of
cultivated crops. After the mash
has stood for several hours scatter
it in Jumps of about the size of a
marble over the fields where the
injury is beginning to appear. Put
it about the bases of the plants
which have been set out. Apply
the mash late in the day, so as to
have the poison in place around the
plants before night. when the cut
worms are active. Apply a second
time IL necessary.
Cutworms destroy hundreds Of
thousands. even millions, of dol
lars worth of crops every year
throughout the United States. They
especially attack tomatoes, cabbage,
lettuce, and other vegetables that
have been started under glass and
transplanted Cutworms some-
times appear in great numbers in
the spring and early summer. and
frequently do severe injury before
their ravages are noticed.
Their method of attack is to cut
on the young plants near the
ground. They are of large size and
are voracious feeders. capable OF
destroying many plants in single
night. Often they cut down more
than they can devour,

OLD PORTLAND MINE
 STAGES A COMEBACK

The old Portland mine at Victor, Colorado, has made a comeback with a strike on the 260O level that runs $20,000 to the ton. This was one of the mines that gave millions of gold to the. world during its long life, but the primary was entered some years ago and only low grade ore was found. Now it is indfcated that the primary rocks are as good gold bearers as the phonolites of the later volcanic flows.
 The gold mines of the Cripple Creek section have shown the world that the theories of ore deposition heretofore held by geologists and mineralogists were the bunk; that gold might be contained in any formation.
 Taking the condition obtaining in Colorado as a criterion We may eX- pect to find ores in the primary in the Oatman section, which in many respects is similar to the Cripple Creek and Camp Bird districts of the Centennial Statess .Mhat is necessary is depth to set at rest the theories, and Cripple Creek has long ago shown that ores have passed through every character of flow and far into the granites.
