FARM EXTRACTS
M TURAI PAPERS AND THE COUNTY AGENTS OFFICE

STATION = AGRICUL-

tions, the summer seeding Of alfal.
ia is best done in Kentucky from
August 10 to 20, according to
George Roberts, head of the agrono-
my department of the Kentucky Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station. When
seeded at this time of the year, the
crop usually follows wheat, oats,
rye, early potatoes or any other
crop that comes off early. Farmers
who expect to seed alfalfa this sum
mer should, prepare the ground for
it as early as possible. Mr.. Roberts
says.
"The ground should be broken
six or seven inches deep and work.
ed down to a well pulverized, firm
condition. 1t usually is good plan
to precede the breaking by discing.
At this time of the year it is also
usually advisable to drag or harrow
each days breaking in order to
pulverize the clods before they dry
out. The soil should be narrowed
after rains in order to conserve
moisture. 1t also is desirable to
harrow whenever young weeds or
grasses appear since alfalfa does
not thrive in their presence.
'Tf the ground is to be lined it
is a good plan to put the material
on as soon as the ground is broken
SO that subsequent preparation will
help distribute it through the soil.
Unless the soil is known to be
naturally supplied with lime, this
material should be applied at the
rate of three or four tons Of ground
limestone an acre or one-half this
amount of burned lime.
In all parts of the State outside
of the central bluegrass region it is
desirable to apply from four to five
hundred pounds of acid phosphate
an acre. This may be done any
time after the limestone is applied
and previous to seeding and should
be narrowed into the soil.
''Just before seeding, it is good
practice to harrow and roll the
ground. The seed should not be-
covered any deeper than necessary
to get 1t in contact with moist soil
and in no case deeper than one and
one-half inches. If It turns dry af-
ter seeding, rolling may help. The
sub-surface type of roller is best
for this purpose, 49,.

Inferior Sires Rctard Dairy

Inferior Sires Rctard Dairy Herd
Improvement
With only one purebred sire for
every $40 dairy cows in the State,
material improvement of Ken
tucky's milk producing cattle will
remain an impossibility until more
purebred males are introduced, ac
cording to new circular, "The Co
operative Bull Association in Ken
lucky" which has Just come off the
press at the college of Agriculture.
According to the publication, a
cooperative sire association is an
organization of dairy farmers, or
others who own dairy cows, formed
for the purpose of cooperative
ownership, use and exchange of
outstanding sires of the dairy
breeds. The typical association is
composed of from 10 to so farmers
Mo own from three to FIVE bulls
Jointly.
Six advantages of such associa-
lions are outlined in the circular
which was prepared by E. M. Pre-
>aitt, a member of the college dairy
department.
1. The formation of such asso-
Citations in all parts Of Kentucky
will make it possible to breed every
COW in the State, to purebred sire.
2. 1t makes the use Of fewer and
better bulls possible.
3. Farmers realize a quick re-
turn on their investment. the value
of the offspring in the first genera
ton being increased from 80 to 80
per cent.
4. An opportunity is offered for
line breeding.
s. Community breeding is en-
couraged.
6. Farmers have an opportunity
to get together in community meet
ings to discuss matters of mutual
interest.

WHY
Black Sheep Sometimes Appear
Among White Flocks

The appearance of black lambs In
flock made up entirely of white
sheep has been for ages and is still
cause for wonder and the basis of
superstitlons. But the study OF the
laws Of breeding and heredity has ex-
planned the reasons for the sporadic
appearance Of these Off-cOlOr specl-
mems, according to u bulletin OF the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Feeding and management OF sheep
have nothing to do with the appear
ance of black lambs. The black
color is hereditary even though 1t may
be transmitted by ordinary white
sheep. The black color In such case
is what is called recessive character.
White sheep which transmit thfs char
acter at all transmit black in 50 per
cent Of their reproductive cells and
white in the remaining 80 per cent.
Thus, such white sheep mated with
blacks-which can only transmit
black-pr0duce so per cent black
lambs and 80 per cent white. All Of
these white lambs can transmit black.
White sheep which transmit only
whites. mated with blacks, produce
only white lambs, but all of these
lambs can transmit black. When both
eve and ram are white, but both
transmit black, about 20 per cent of
the lambs are black, 80 per cent are
white which transmit black. while the
remaining 20 per cent are true breed
ing whites.

Why Britain Values the Bahamas.

why britain values the bdhamas-
The Bahamas are a chain of coral
islands generally grouped with the
West Indies. They belong to Great
Britain. The group includes %
islands and ego isieis. but only about
70 are inhabited. The coral rock Is
porous, retaining moisture, hence the
soil that has accumulated is very fer
tile. The islands produce maize, cot
ton, sisal hemp, pineapples, oranges,
lemons, olives, tamarinds, and other
sub-trOplcal fruits. Large quantities
Of sponges are taken from the sur
rounding seas. The principal exports
are sponges, fruits and sisal fiber. To
matoes are being extensively cult
waited and shipped to the United States.
Mahogany, lignum-vitae, mastic. iron
wood, ebony, lockwood and satinwOOd
are found throughout the islands. The
fiber exported in 1920 had value of
about half n million dollars.

Losfng Season, Opens For Millions
OF Hens

Losfing Season Opens For Millions
OF Hens
More than 100000 hens will
stop laying during July and August
after which they will be worthless
as egg producers until the following
spring, according to estimates made
by poultrymen at the College of Ag-
riculture. The state has about TO-
100000 hens, one-tbird of which
stop laying early each summer and
become loafers, according to results
of culling campaigns which are
conducted each year by the college.
As a rule, the hens which stop
laying at this time of the year are
the early molters and certain
characteristics which they show
make 1t easy for the farmer or the
poultry raiser to distinguish them
from the layers and Gull them from
the flock. characteristics which
are important In culling are out
lined and described in detail in
Circular No. 101 which is being dis
tributed free by the college to farm
ers interested in Kidding their fiocks
of low producing hens.
Culling out thsse hens saves feed,
utilizes waste feed. for the good
hens, eliminates poor hens so that
they will not be used as breeders
and makes mere room for laying
hens and pullets, the poultrymen
say. Culling at this time of the
year has an added advantage in that
Gull hens will bring better prices
now than they will later in the
season.

New Circular Points Out Needs OF
Kentucky Soils


Practically all soils in Kentucky
outside the 35 counties constituting
the bluegrass region are acid and
naturally deficient in PHOSPHORUS,
according to a new circular entitled,
PHOSPHORUS and Limestone for
Kentucky Soils" which has just
come off the press at the College of
Agriculture here. More than half
the soils within the bluegrass region
respond profitably to phosphate
treatment while more than half
the soils in the same district would
respond to limestone treatment
when legumes, especially sweet
clover and alfalfa, are grown, the
publication states.
Results from soil experiment
fields being conducted in various
parts of the State by the Kentucky
Agricultural Experiment Station
are given in the new publication
to point out the need for limestone
and phosphate on the various
types of soil.
On both the Mayfeld and Lone
Oak fields, acid phosphate and rock
phosphate when used with lime
stone have produced large increases
in yields, especially on the Mayheld
field where the yield of corn has
been increased one-third, that OF
soybean hay and wheat doubled
and that of clover hay more than
trebled. Both these fields represent
the predominating upland soils OF
the Purchase.
On the Fariston field, which rep
resents the soils of the eastern coal
field, acid and rock phosphate, when
all crops are considered, have con-
siderably more than doubled the
Yields. Either of these phosphates
has returned practically $500 for
every dollar invested. On the
Greenville field. which represents
the soils Of the western coal Held
limestone and acid phosphate have
produced more than a 90 per cent
increase in the corn yield and more
than doubled the yield of soybean
hay, wheat and clover.
Results equally as striking nave

Hornworms Start Annual Raid On
