Hog Raisers Should Flow
 Up Barn Lots Fac

Up Barn Lots Each Year
 Hog raisers may accomplish two desirable results by blowing up the barn lots at least once a year, says the United States Department of Agriculture. In the first place, hogs need good succulent pasture as much of the time as possible, and in the second place they need protection against internal parasites, such as roundworms, the eggs of which re- main in the soil. Turning over the soil in the lots helps to get rid of the pests and the crop of forage makes it a profitable operation. In addition to providing cheap protein feed, pasture crops aid as a laxative and require the hogs to take a certain amount of exercise which is neces sary to breeding animals and grow ing pigs.
 Rye is probably the best crop to use for fall, winter, and spring pasture for hogs. Throughout the corn belt it may be sown from Aug ust 20 to about October 1, depend ing on the latitude. In warmer .li- mates the crop may be put in at various times up to as late as Decem Der. By putting in successive plant ings from 2 to 4 weeks apart it is possible to have fresh pasture all the time. Seeding for pasture should

Worlds Largest Fish Pier
 Situated at Boston, Mass.

Boston has the largest fish pier in the world, says the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Depart ment of Agriculture, which super vises interstate shipment of fish under the Federal food and drugs act. The pier is devoted exclusively to the fish business, is 1900 feet long, 300 feet wide, and is paved with brick and concrete in such a manner that it can be easily cleaned by flushing with water. The pier was built by the State of Massachu- setts at a cost of $3,OOO,OOO. Eighty vessels can discharge their cargoes there at the same time.
 The shipments of fish are sold at auction to wholesale dealers, bids be- ing based uopn the statement of the captain of each vessel as to the amount and quality of each variety

Financial Support Shows


 Confidence in Methods
 In the course of 26 poisoning demonstrations held in Lane County, Wash, between March and June, to show the method of controlling the "gray digger, about 5000 pounds of strychnine-coated barley were fed to the ground squirrels. Thou sands of moles, pocket gophers, and skunks were also destroyed The encouraging feature of this cam paign from the point of view of the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture and the extension agent who CO., operated in the demonstrations was that the Lane County authorities and the local agricultural council each provided $250 toward the undertaking, and business houses, railroads, and farmers all cooper ated in the substantial manner known as "going down into their pockets" with the result that the county is now almost cleaned up.

Egg Laying Contest

The hens in the laying contest at Storrs are running just about true to form. The expected production for the thirty-seventh week was 37O5 eggs and the actual production for the week was 3703 eggs or yield of nearly 53 per cent. Hollywood Farms pen of White Leghorns from Hollywood, Wash, was in first place with a score of 59 eggs, James F. Macdonald's pen of White Rocks from East Pembroke, Mass, was second for the week with a yield of 57 eggs. Two other pens of Leg horns owned by Eigenrauch and DeWinter from Red Bank, N. J., and Leo A. Grouten, from Farming ton, Conn.,, were third and fourth best pens with 55 and 54 eggs res pectively.
 Last week there were several signi- ficant changes in the leading pens. In the Barred Rock class the Agricul- tural College pen from Guelph, Ont, moved up into third place, passing Purdue University's pen of the same breed. The Wyandotte group stood steady with a Rhode Island pen leading and an English pen in third place and two Connecticut pens hold ing second and fourth positions. In the Rhode Island Red class, Charles D. Peirce's pen from Arnold Mills, R. l., crept up into fourth place in- stead of a Massachusetts pen that has been holding down this position for the last two weeks. In the Leg horn outfit, Meadowedge Farms pen from Cedarhurst, L. l., and Andrew L. Ohr's pen from Wallingford, Conn.,, tied for fourth place instead of a New York state pen that has had this place for the last fifteen weeks.
 The four leading pens in each of the principal breeds are as follows:

Ex-Governor Lowden of Illinois will address an agricultural group for the first time in this state at Storrs, Aug. 2, the third day of Farmers Week. Notable speakers from Connecticut are also on the program for the week. These in- clude Dean Graves of the Yale School of Forestry; State Forester Hawes; Hon. J. w. Alsop of the Public Utilities Commission; Dr. Tucker, Secretary of the Hartford Rotary Club; President Wells of the Connecticut Milk Producers Asso- ciation; and James B. Thwing of New Haven. Several farmers, both men and women, will also take part in the sectional programs.
 The West, the South and the East are also sending speakers and ex- perts to address the gatherings of Farmers Week at Storrs.
 The program of addresses, discus sions and demonstrations will be supplemented by road building, tractor demonstrations, stump re- moval, dusting and spraying exhibi- tions and radio programs.
 "Connecticut Farmers Week is recognized as a unique farmers gathering and is famed for it's spirit of good fellowship and hospitality" says R. E. Dodge, who has arranged the program. ''To attend one year is to get the habit"
 CnVooro1a&n x,f Week has been issued in program form. This tells how to get to Storrs, how to secure a room in advance, how to address your mail, what it will cost and "everything."

 Owing to the importance of the feed-fatming industry, the United States Department of Agriculture has established project which deals with it exclusively. It furnishes in- formation to prospective breeders, as well as to those already engaged in the industry, which helps them to overcome obstacles and avoid pit falls.
 The best cream to whip is good, rich cream, from 24 to 48 hours old, says the United States Department of Agriculture. It should contain at least 30 per cent butter fat to produce ideal results, and be kept very cold. Pasteurization tends to lower the whipping quality of the cream, and homogenization is very harmful to it. Combined they prac tically destroy the value of cream for whipping.

Efforts Made to Introduce
 Wilt-Resistant Tomatoes


 Most of the work with wilt-resis- tant tomatoes in the South, where Fusarium wilt is prevalent, has been successful, and further effort is be- ing made by the United States De- partment of agriculture working ill cooperation with State agricultural colleges through county agents to improve the varieties of tomatoes grown and introduce the Wiltless varieties into new communities.
 All the 5 resistant varieties, Mar vel, Norton, Columbia, Arlington, and Norduke, sent to boys and girls club members have been grown successfully in many localities where regular commercial varieties failed because of wilt. Although these varietiees are not immune they poss- ess enough resistance to insure good crop if other conditions are favorable. A few reports of failure have been received, but the real cause in all such cases investigated was root-knot, bacterial wilt, or blight. It therefore seems wise to urge the general introduction of these and other wilt-resistant varie ties wherever Fusarium wilt is pre- valent, says the department.
 From the 8 years work already accomplished it seems that these varieties will have to be tested re- peatedly to determine which is best adapted to the local needs and con- ditions of any community; but this is true of varieties of any other crop, it is pointed out. In some gardens the resistant tomatoes were free from blossom-end rot and in no case reported did they suffer more from this disease than the varieties formerly grown.

are said TO be still pending.
Rickald Is said to be in bad with
Tammanv Hall and if the state should

say that he will have to step down from
the car throne of boHing.
His ear power, however, hasn t been
as "czary' recently as it was two
wears ago whsn he was i'll absolute
control of boxing around New York.
Dave Driscoll was the first to chal-
lenge the power of Rickard and he got
away with it, so much so, that other
of the smaller promoters have taken
heart and the actively competing
against Rickard.
Driscoll is the matchmaker OF the
Brooklyn ball club S fight department
and he made a great financial success
out of the past season.s He used to
confine his attentions to baseball, but
he took up boxing when the law was
passed in New Jersey and he made
big success of it.
The first real test Of power between
Rickard and Driscoll came i'll the
skirmish to get Jimmy Wilde, the
world 5 flyweight champion, to come
over from England and fight Pancho
Villa, the American champion, for the
