vantage of the inventory is the fact
that it makes it possible for the far

acne, Todd county farmers last year
saved 1000 tons of manure more
than ordinarily would have been
saved. The best farmers in the
state now keep manure in stables
or feeding sheds until it can be
spread on the fields, instead Of
throwing it in piles outside where
it teaches and heats and loses much
of its fertilizing value. A well bed
ded and tramped stall will keep ma
nure in good condition.
Many farmers in the state now
spread the manure on their farms
as fast as it is hauled to the fields.
The old practice of throwing the
material in small piles to be spread
later is expensive and wasteful.
Most farmers use light application
to cover as many acres as possible.
An application of five tons to the
acre has ben found to give good re-
suits.
Most of the farm manure in
Kentucky is used on tobacco or corn
land. This makes DIT necessary to
spread it as fast as it is produced in
the winter or hold it until spring be-
fore spreading. On level land. and
especially where tire is sod, win
ter spreading can be done without
loss. A few farmers make a prac-
tice Of top dressing young grass and

Farm Cow Now Making About 2:

Thousands of Kentucky farmers
who are keeping a few cows from

necessity of cutting down on rich
protein feeds and using only thOse
that are grown on the farm in order
to get a fair return from the.r anil

dairymen say.
1T takes about 20 pounds of milk
to make a pound of butterfat. At
this rate, the average farm COW In
Kentucky does not yield more than
half a pound of fat day. Present
indications are that this fat will not
bring more than SO cents pound
this season, thus making the daily
return from the average farm COW
about rs cents a day.
Every COW, regardless of wheth-
er she is of the dairy type or the av-
erage one on the farm. needs about
80 or 40 pounds of corn or sorghum

Scale Damage

Few Apple Trees Escape San Jose
Scale Damage
San Jose scale, one of the bad
fruit tree pests, is just as. serious,
IL not worse, in Kentucky apple or
chards at the present time as 1t has
ever been, according to A j. Olney,
member of the horticultural de
partment of the College Of Agricul-
ture. Few of the thousands of ap-
pie orchards in the state are free Of
the insect. The scale attacks the
trunks, limbs, twigs anG fruit and
fruit and often cuts the yield of ap-
pies heavily before farmers nJtice
it. Spraying with lime sulphur at
this time of the year when the leaves
are off the trees is the best way to
control the pest.
The scale goes through the win
ter as a partly grown insect that

of insects increases rapidly through
out the summer. II the tree has
become crusted with the scale, 1t is
necessary to spray once at this time
of the year and again in early spring
Light attacks of the scale may be
controlled with one spray put on at
this season in. However. 1t is almost
impossible to get rid of the scale en-
tirely with the result that spraying
every year is necessary.
Several years ago the lime sulphur
solution often avs prepared right in
the farm but the home cooked wash
now has been generally replaced
with the commercial forms. No ma
terial has proved better than the IL
quid lime sulphur for controlling
the scale. In making the CONNER
cial liquid lime sulphur weak enough
to use in spraying apple trees for tho
scale, one part of it should be added
to eight parts Of water. When made
