LITTER FOR THE
POULTRY HOUSE

Clemson College.-Litter on the
floor of the poultry house is
placed there to hide the grain, the
purpose being to furnish exercise for
the birds, by making them scratch
in the litter in search of the grain.
This is best accomplished if the lit
ter is loose, dry and coarse.
Where poultry raising is carried
on in conjunction with general farm
operations, there is usually an abun-
dance of material at hand for use as
litter, such as straw, hay and leaves
Grain straw is the best; leaves crush
quickly and do not hide the grain
In the commercial poultry plants
where litter has to be purchased, one
practice is to use planer shavings
mixed in equal proportions with
wheat, rye, or oat straw.
1t is a good plan to put about two
or three inches of litter in the house
in the fall and then add to it, a little
every week or two, thus keeping
clean litter on the top all the time.
Litter should be changed
1. Whenever it becomes so fine
that it packs down and does not hide
the grain.
2. Whenever it becomes moist or
damp.
Whenever it becomes much soil
ed with the poultry manure.

PLANT GOOD COTTON SEED

Clemson College.-It is now time
of year for every farmer who ex-
poets to plant cotton this spring to
get his seed ready for planting. We
should all make sure that we have
good strong, clean, healthy seed of
{. approved variety ready to plant,
says Prof. C. P. Blackwell, agrono-
mist, who urges that it is more i'm
portant now than ever before to use
good seed that will terminate readi-
ly and give a vigorous early growth,
as otherwise the crop may be delay
ed and lost to the boil weevil.
There are three things about cot
ton seed that we should all look
after carefully at this season:
l. Our seed should be of a test
ed and approved variety of cotton.
There are seedsmen who are adver-
Using varieties of cotton that they
claim made high yields under boil
weevil conditions, as a special adver-
tisement to sell their seed to far
mers in boil weevil territories. Some
of these advertisements are either
frauds or serious exaggerations.
This is no time to experiment with
highly advertised varieties that we
know nothing about personally. The
agronomy division of Clemson Col
lege has conducted thorough tests
for a great many years to determine
the best varieties Of cotton for boil
weevil conditions, and after careful
examination the following varieties
are recommended:
Short Staple: (1) Cleveland Big
Boil for wilt-free land; (2) Dixie
Triumph for wilt-infested land.
Long Staple: (1) Weber 40; q
Deltatype Weber.
2. We should use seed not onl,
of approved varieties but from {
reliable source. Farmers who art
buying seed will do we'll to buy from
reliable seedsmen as near home a
possible.

HOW TO MAKE CREAM
WHIP MORE EASILY

Clemson College.-Quite often the
housewife has difficulty in getting
cream to whip. As a rule she blames
the dealer because she thinks he is
selling cream which contains too
low a percentage Of b%utterfat. This
is not necessarily the case because
several other factors may enter in
and may be responsible.
Under ordinary conditions it is
probably true that cream testing
about 80 per cent %butter-fat will
whip more readily than will cream
containing either a lower or higher
percentage of fat, says M. R. Toll
strup, associate professor of dairy
ing, but if is possible to whip ordin-
airy. coffee cream testing Is to 20
per cent butter-fat when the follow
ing rules are observed.
l. Do not try to whip warm cream
or cream which has just been pro-
duced.
2. Keep the temperature of the
cream below so degrees Fahrenheit
and if possible below 40 degrees.
3. Have the cream at least one
day old or older as long as it is still
sweet.
4. Whip the cream in a cool place
and in a cool vessel.
At times it is difficult to comply
with all the above conditions but
still necessary to have whipped
cream. In such cases a little viscogen
may be added to make it possible to
whip cream. Viscogen is a solution
made from sugar, lime, and water,
and may be prepared at home by
directions which the dairy division
will furnish upon request, or may
be bought in small quantities under
different names.
Viscogen is harmless, but if toe
much is added a disagreeable taste
will be impaired to the cream. II
is preferable to use only the amount
necessary to get the cream to whiI
properly. Viscogen also makes the
whipped cream stand up a little bet
ter, and by its use even thin cream
can be readily whipped. A little
viscogen added to the ice cream nil
aids in producing a smoother ict
cream.

SPRAYS FOR SAN JOSE
SCALE USED IN WINTER
Must Not Be Used While the Tree
Is in Foliage, Says Prof. A.
F. Conrad.

Clemson College.-The sprays used
for controlling San Jose scale on
fruit and other trees can not be u.s.
ed on trees in foliage, but must be
used during the fall and winter
months when the trees are leafless
and dormant, according to Prof. A.
F. Conrad, entomologist, who urges
owners or orchards to use lime-sul-
phur to fight the scale now for the
sake of fruit next season. The lime
sulfur spray may be prepared at
home, either by the use of steam, or
with fire, using an iron kettle. d.
rections for making r given in
Experiment Station Circular, 30
which may be obtained upon appli-
cation.
The liquid lime-sulfur may be pur-
chased also in some of the local mer-
kets with directions how to mix with
water to make the proper spray.
There are on the market several
brands of dry lime-sulfur which are
mixed with water at the rate of
fifteen pounds of the powder to fifty
gallons of water. In buying lime
sulfur compounds it is necessary to
obtain them as fresh as possible and
use them as soon as possible. The
drum in which this material is re-
ceived should not be open unneces-
sarily to expose the material to the
atmosphere. This material handles
quite conveniently, but has the dis
advantage of being more expensive.
There are several brands Of oil
used for controlling scale, and full
information regarding these may be
obtained upon request. When using
oil, it is urged that a simple separa-
ton test be made before spraying
the trees, to make certain that the
oil does not separate.
Before the spraying, the tree
should be properly pruned, with
attention to twigs and
branches shot-holed by the twig bark
beetle, and the prunings should not
be left in the orchard but should be
burned Immediately. Not only is
pruning a necessity in fruit growing
but pruned trees can be sprayed
more thoroughly in less time and
with less material.

Poultry Breeding Problems

Clemson College-The great aim
in poultry breeding should be the
Improvement Of poultry in those
qualities hich have q definite mar
ket value, such as increased egg
production, quality and quantity OF
flesh growth, and perfection Of
color pattern. All Of these qualities
are associated more or less with
perfection of proportion or SYM
metry of the individual, and any
Improvement which is continuous
and which progresses toward a CIV
en- ideal will materially improve the
general appearance of the progeny
and conduce to uniformity.
The breeder should select his
breeding males ad females now,
advises N n Mehrhof, poultry
specialist, who insists that only
vigorous and healthy birds that
conform to the standard in regard
to shape, color and weight should
be chosen.
In breeding the practice Of a
few principles will help in perfect
ing desirable characteristics.
1 Breed from parents both Of
which conform as closely as pos
sjble to the standard.
2 Breed from parents which are
as purely bred as it is possible to
obtain them.
8 Study the individuals and en-
deavor to note them 50 that the
faults of the parents Will be cor
lected in the offspring.
4 Practice a rigorous selection
from Matching time to maturity,
and especially when mating the
breeding hens.
5 Consider environment, such as
housing and feeding conditions.

PEACH LEAF CURL.

Clemson College.-In 1921, after
the growing season began, the kst-
any division received a number Of
specimens of peach leaf curl, with re-
quests for directions for control Of
the disease. After the seasons
growth has begun, however, it is to
late to do anything, as infection &C.
ours during the winter months, and
after the disease begins 10 develop
it does not spread any further, ac-
cording to the plant pathologists,
who make the following suggestions
concerning the disease and its con-
troll.
Peach leaf curl is a we'll known
disease and easily recognized by the
characteristic deformed condition Of
the leaves and young stems. Affect
ed leaves are often shed from the
tree, and where the attack is severe,
the shedding may be so great as to
be of serious consequence. Not oily
so, but the loss of twigs is also
sometimes quite serious. The dis
ease fungus grows within the tender
young tissues, causing reformation
and often death Of the parts. It is
not known definitely how the fungus
lives from one season to the next,
but it is known that incubation of
the peach takes place before the
buds open in the spring. A cold,
wet spring at the time the buds
open is favorable to the disease, as
the young growing parts seem to be
more easily attacked under such con-
ditions. In such seasons severe
epidemics often occur.
However, the extent Of the dem
age done by this disease is often
undefestimated. It is easy enough
to see and estimate the direct dam
age, but the indirect damage is
probably often equal to the direct
for the defoliation not only prevents
the tree from raising q full CROP
the season of infection but
also lowers its vitality to such in
and decreases 50 much the
amount of food produced. by the
that fewer fruit buds ore
formed for the next season. THIS
the damage done extends through
out two seasons
Control measures depend ON kill
ing the spores on the twigs and buds
growth starts in the spring.
The only known method to do this
is to use a dormant spray, through
ly applied, before the buds open
L~ime-sulphur is satisfactory for
purpose and possesses the add
ed advantage Of being an insecticide
also. The best time to apply is just
before the buds swell, but good re-
suits can be secured earlier. Under
circumstances should the spray
ing be put off until after the leaves
have unfolded. It is not safe to wait
to see how the weather is going to
be when the buds unfold. The Or
chardist who follows a careful sched-
ule of spraying, including q good
dormant spray, will not lose mach

WE NEED BETTER PASTURES
"Iive.at-Home" Farming Demands
More than Fencing in Waste Land


More than Fencing in Waste Land
Clemson College.-Some farmers
Of South Carolina attempt to solve
the pasture problem by fencing some
of the waste land on the farm and
calling it a pasture. In this kind OF
pasture the stock get plenty OF exer'
else and a small amount OF grazing
Since the boil weevil has invaded the
state it behooves every farmer to
consider those things that will enable
him to Give at home" first of all.
Milk and butter and pork and beef
can not be produced at a low cost
without good permanent pastures.
There are a few pasture plants that
have been tried out in this state and
have proved that with a reasonable
amount of preparation a good per-
nanent pasture is both possible and
practicable. A combination of grasses
and legumes is to be preferred to
any single grass since it will give
more continuous grazing, a greater
variety and a better balanced food
ration.
The best pastures will be produc-
ID on the low moist soils and the
seepy hillsides. 1t is true that most
sf the low lands are needed to grow
.surn and other field crops; however,
there are many acres of land under
Mltivation where crops are destroy
I'd by overflow and water-logging

There are also many acres of land
