25th Week of Egg Laying Contest

18th Week of Egg Laying Contest
 In the twenty-ffth week of the laying contest at Storrs the hens made better record than for the corresponding period in any of the previous contests. They beat last years record at this time by a margin of five eggs. The total production for all pens was 4576 eggs or yield of more than 65 per cent as compared with 4571 eggs in 1921 and 4564 eggs in 1916., +.-.. ...st t The Leghorns are weekly expect ed to come into fuller lay, mean while, however, the Rocks, Reds and Wyandottes have all been forging ahead. Harry G. Culver's pen of Barred Rocks from Westhampton Beach, L. l., were an easy first for the week with yield of 64 eggs. Another pen of Barred Rocks en- tered by Michigan Poultry Farm at Lansing, pen of White Rocks en- tered by Harold F. Barber of Dover, Mass, and Glen Wright's pen of Rhode Island Reds from New Canaan, all tied for second place with a score of 57 eggs each. Henry P. Walkers pen of Reds from Hudson, Mass, was a close third with mark of 56 eggs. Hilltop Farms Leghorns from Suf- field, E. P. Usher's pen of Reds from Grafton, Mass, and W. H. B. Rents pen of Barred Rocks from Cazeno- via, N. Y.,Eall tied for fourth place with 55 eggs each.
 The two leading pens to date are both White Wyandottes, one from Woodbridge, and the other from Davisville, R. I. One day last week these pens were tied. During the last eight weeks the Connecticut pen has trailed the pen from Rhode Island by an average of less than four eggs.

crop late in the fall so that not
 enough growth was left for protec- tion in the winter also had much to
 do with thinning stands. The de-
 partment recommends that alfalfa be given time to reach a height of 6 to 8 inches before cold weather shuts
 off the sap flow. .t
 In the past the growing of alfalfa in rows in dry regions has been recommended, but experimental evil dence gathered by the department in the last few years shows that, with the exception of a few rare varieties the seed of which sells for a high price, htis method is seldom practical. Where the rainfall is not sufficient to grow alfalfa in broadcast stands it can not usually be grown profitable in rows. A slightly larger yield may be produced, but not enough to pay for the added expense. Also the hay harvested on this cultivated ground is apt to be dirty and it is hard to cut and load.
 Accommodating experience also has exploded some old notions about the value of cultivation of broadcast stands. It has been found that narrowing a field of alfalfa ordin- arily does not increase the yield; neither does it prolong the life of the stand to any noticeable extent. The modified spring-tooth harrow does not injure the plants, but the disk often kills many and reduces the stand. Some Sort of cultivation ap- pears advisable in irrigated regions where the water carries a great deal of silt or where the soil has been compacted by the tramping of cattle pastured on the alfalfa. The depart ment believes there is usually little to be gained by cultivating broadcast fields when the stand is good. If weeds and grass work in and reduce the stand it is better to blow up the field and put in another crop for a year Or two. It is hard to thicken thin stand by cultivating it and sow ing more seed; in fact, it is waste of time, the depaNment believes.

SOY BEAN HAY AS R0UGHAeE
Tennessee Station FInds it Superior to Corn stover In Producing MIlk
 and Butter.

The Tennessee station compared soy bean straw and corn stover as rou0h- age in the production of milk and but ter. The ration containing soy-bean straw was found superior to that con- tainingJ corn stover. This ration pro duced more pounds of milk and butter fat and produced them more chsaply than the cornstover ration. In every case there was less loss in milk and butter fat during the feeding of soy bean straw than during the feeding of corn stover. It was concluded from these tests that soy-bean straw ia a valuable addition to the roughage in he.feeding or dairy cows.

Radio News Disseminated
 By Club Boys and Cir

By Club Boys and Girls
 Listening in" on a country tele- phone may have it's thrills, but mem bers of boys and girls clubs who '1isten in" on the conversation of the world with their radio receiving sets have an interest which comes not from neighborhood gossip, but from getting the morning report of the markets, the weather forecast, and crop estimates for all parts of the country.
 In a number of States club mem bers within receiving distance of broadcasting stations located at the State college of agriculture or else where are receiving information that takes some of the risks out of the business of farming. They post this information inr conspicuous places so that neighbors may make use of it. The work demonstrates the usefulness of the radio as piece of farm equipment.
 Counties in New Jersey, Montana, and Colorado have clubs that receiv- ed wireless messages last season. In Kentucky, Nebraska, and several other States organization is under way. The expansion of the radio has been limited because of lack Of simple printed instructions, but the recent distribution of circulars by the United States Department of Agriculture on the making of receiv- ing sets has been helpful to the boys and girls. Through members of pig, dairy, corn, and other clubs who are receiving daily market information and the estimated crop production, the entire family and the community as we'll may be benefited.

Later Cutting of Alfalfa
 Found to be Better Practice

Delaying the cutting of alfalfa un- til it is nearly in full bloom has been found better practice than moving it soon after blooming starts Trials made by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture and State ex- pertinent stations indicate that the yields are larger over period of years, and that the life of the stand is prolonged by delaying harvesting until the plants are nearly in full bloom.
 Hay made when the plants are nearly in full bloom possibly is not quite so palatable, but this is offset by the gain in quantity of hay. The fields that were cut prior to or at the beginning of blooming showed ten dency to die out sooner. Cutting

Treasures in Danger.

IF THE Declaration of Independ-
ence should be destroyed by fire or
time, the country would mourn, bu,
not collapse. If the Liberty Bell
should disintegrate or break In two
America would regard it as national
loss, but would not cease to be a
nation.
But the sentiment which surrounds
historic documents, buildings. objects
and locations, made sacred by associa-
ton, is the very life blood Of patriot
ism. If the Declaration of Independ-
ence be destroyed by the slow action
of time, the nation could bear the loss
glad that the historic document lasted
long enough to be so enshrined in
American hearts that its influence
could never die But should it perish
from government carelessness, there
would be such an outcry from our
hundred million as would make Con-
gress tremble
At present the 146-year-old docu-
ment, with its faded ink, its only par
tally decipherable signatures and its
slowly yellowing parchment is in the
custody of the Library of Congress.
Here, doubtless, it is perfectly safe.
But this document is but ono OF
long lists of papers, all historic, all
unique and none replaceable, scattered
all over Washington, D. c., and hous-
ed in all manner of non-6reproof
buildings.
The United States government is
badly in need of 'house of archives"
as indestructibie from fire as the pyra-
mids of Egypt. The government owns
plenty of land in the Capital City, and
one of its departments has just shown
billion dollars saving in year.
Is it not about time that Congress
made the appropriation which will
forever safeguard those papers and
objects around which American senti-
ment clusters and for which all who
love the flag have a veneration only
less than that they possess for their
Creator?

Worse and Worse
THE RAILROAD STRIKE is dali

THE RAILROAD STRIKE is daily
becoming problem of greater i'm
port, of graver menace to the eco
nomic rehabilitation of the United
States. Optimistic reports from rail-
road officials that months would
elapse before the striking shopmen
could influence the movement of COM
merce over American railroads seem
to have been overdrawn. Already
many local trains have been removed
from schedules. Engines are going
bad everywhere and as yet not enough
men have been recruited to replace
strikers to keep the rolling stock in
good condition.
The strike is undeniably against au-
thorized governments representatives
and the public welfare. To The
Tribune, it seems strange that an out
law strike of 100000 railroad shop
men should be allowed to jeopardize
the peace and comfort of an hundred
million of law abiding citizens.
Nor can The Tribune see any ma
terial difference between federal pro-
lection afforded mail trains and any
other class of interstate traffic. From
the public standpoint, uninterrupted
train service, handling business for a
great nation, is just as vital as supply
ing that nation with its daily mail.
Both touch the lives of the whole
public,
For three years, unionism has prov
en- its own worst enemy. Just such
indicidents as this railroad strike have
served to almost completely alienate
public sympathy from the cause OF
organized American workingmen
There was no just cause for this strike,

The Caldwell tribune., 1922-07-18

probably be that federal labor board
will come into creation with powers
to enforce its dictates. When its de-
cisions are made, the entire power OF
the federal government will back and
enforce those decisions. And any
careful student of the way the gov
ernment has muddled the Transports
ton problems of the United States
in recent years wants just as little OF
government meddling as is possible
And yet, when railroad employees
flaunt their power in way that ap-
proaches rebellion to government
what else can be done?
