FARM HINTS
May is Usually the Dry Season and
Crops Need Attention

May is said to be the farmers bust
est month. In speaking of thing
that demand urgent attention on tn,
farm at this time, Prof. j. NJ. Scott
of the Florida Experiment Station
says:
May is time when all growing
crops need attention. 1t is usually
the dry time of the season. Hence
all growing crops need constant and
thorough cultivation which is neces.
sary to conserve mnistTFe Tben too
during this dry month is an excellent
time to kill grass and weeds that take
both plant food and moisture from
the soil.
IF crops are not growing well,
due, it seems, to lack of plant food,
give top dressing OF nitrate of soda
or sulphate of ammonia at the rate
of $50 pounds to the acre.
IF your peanut crop is not plant
ed, ground should be prepared and
the crop planted at once.
Sweet potatoes, one of our i'm
portant crops, should be planted not
later than this month. Some advise
not 10 plant until June or July. How
ever, you will find that sweet potatoes
planted in, May will yield a much
larger crop than if planted later.
DO not forget the home garden
This should supply the vegetables for
the family table. Every farm table
should be abundantly supplied with
vegetables from its own home garden.
What about the hay crop for the
coming year? Now is a good time to
plant May crops, such as beggar-
weeds, cowpeas and crab grass.
Break the land well and leave it
leveled so that the mower will run
over il later without any trouble"

HARDING REPUDIATED
lndinan Republican Primary Show,
OminOus Trend of Political
Sentiment

The defeat of United States Sena-
tor Harry S. New for denomination by
former Senator Albert J. Beveridge
in the Indiana Republican primary by
large majority has thrown the other
Republican administration candidates
for reelection. both Senators and
Representatives, into panic. With
Copley of Illinois, the multi-million-
aire member of Ways and Means
! Committee and veteran reactionary
leader and champion of the Harding
administration, buried under ma
jority of 5000, and Harry New, the
administration pet, crushed by the
weight of 10000, they are asking
who will be the next victim to fall
beneath in the righteous wrath of an
outraged constituency?
Senator News defeat is the most
overwhelming reputation and power
full rebuke yet administered TO the
Harding administration and the Do
Nothing Congress. Senator New is
the close personal friend and adviser
of President Harding. He speaks for
the administration upon the floor of
the Senate. Although the President
spoke no public word in his behalf,
he was his silent ally, and all the
leaders of the administration were for
him. The press of both parties for
weeks made it plain that Senator
News candidacy was 10 be a test of
the Harding administration, and Sen
ator New himself made that the issue
in his campaign. Administration or
gans were claiming his election when
all the returns showed Beveridge far
in the lead.
1t is clear that the Beveridge ma
jority is a vote of protest within the
party rather than an Endorsement of |
any affirmative principles or policies. |
A vote for Beveridge was the only |
way the Hoosier folk could show |
their disgust with the present Con- |
gress and the only way they could |
answer the appeal to indorse the |
reactionary Republican administra-
ton, and therefore New was defeated |
a n d Beveridge won. Democratic

SOREHEAD KILLS
Loss of Chickens From SOrehead May
he Cut Down Considerably

Sorehead kills many chickens
stunts the growth of those that sur.
vive it, and reduces the number OF
eggs laid by pullets. What can be
done? This has been answered as
follows by the poultry specialist OF
the College of Agriculture, University
of Florida.
"Sorehead losses have been reduc.
ed in the last few years by adding
-four of sulphur to the feed of grow.
ing stock At the beginning of the
season when sOrehead usually ap-
pears, add | pound of sour OF sui
phur to every 100 pounds of mash
This will be helpful in several ways
one Of which is by keeping the birds
in condition to pass thru the sorehead
period more quickly and safely. The
middle Of May is the time to begin
this treatment Feed this medicated
mash to all the poultry that have
never had sorehead. Chicks that
had il last year will not be subject to
ii this or next year.
"Ir, in this flock to which you are
giving sulphur, n case of sorehead
appears, add pounds of sulphur to
every 100 pounds of mash. Sulphur
should be given all summer, at least
for 100 days after beginning in May,
when sorehead appears, apply
carbOlated vaselne on the warts or
ulcers about the head.
There is a vaccine used in some
states with good results and, if given
ample funds. the State University
may be able later to supply it. Till
that time we must depend on the
persistent use of sulphur"

At Clearwater they are raising fine
veg eta b les Notwithstanding the
drought. The Sun tells that the Dill
lard Packing Company a few days
ago sent out ninety crates of Cucum-
bers that were grown on few truck
patches on Drew street The Sun
says that with a good rain the move
ment could be greatly increased
Tomatoes, also being grown in the
city limits, are said to be coming
along very well.
The Punta Gorda herald., 1922-05-12

Where ordinarily at this time of
year there should be eight or ten
cars of tomatoes rolling from Plant
City each day, there have been only
five cars in the past week. This is
especially discouraging in view of the
fact that, from the number of toma-
toes planted, this promised to be a
bumper crop. The dry weather has
killed many of the tomato plants, be-
sides preventing the crop from MAX
ing, ii is said.

Hot Water Kills Smut

Hot water treatment of seed wheat
to eliminate loose smut is reported by
County Agent J. 0. Ellsworth of Bon
neville county to have produced ex-
cellent results. In March, 2900
pounds of certified Dicklow was treat
ed by this method Recent inspection
showed that in fields planted to this
seed there was less than one tenth of
one per cent of loose smut, whereas
in non-treated fields the proportion
was from three to five per cent. The
treatment was done by neighborhood
under direction of Arthur Lundblade,
community chairman. on his farm.
Live steam from threshing machine
engine was used to heat the water and
to maintain temperature of 100 de-
grees. Seed was treated for six far
mers, for all of whom results similar
to the above described were obtained.
