JULY FARM CALENDAR
AgrOnory

AgrOnomy
Continue intensive cultivation of
cotton for weed control
Begin now to prepare land for
sowing alfalfa in September. Use
only strong productive land for
alfalfa.
Clean up terraces and turnrows.
Make sure you have forage enough
planted to supply hay for next year.
This is a good time to check up
on farm records and inventories to
see what it is costing to produce
different crops.
Horticulture
Don't neglect to plant fall crop
of Irish potatoes.
Remove diseased limbs from fruit
trees. This is especially necessary
immediately after harvesting the
peach crop.
Make your plans now for planting
fruit trees and grape vines next fall.
Do not neglect to spray apple
trees for the control of bitter rot.
Remember that grape vines should
be sprayed after the fruot has been
harvested to insure better fruit next
season.
Animal Husbandry
Breed al lsows not previously set
tied for fall littcrs.
Breed beef cows for spring calves.
Now over pastures to prevent
weeds from seeding
See that livestock has plenty of
shade and water.
Destroy all stagnant pools now
used as mud wallows.
Clean out the fence rows around
pastures and barnyards.
Keep manure hauled out to pre-
vent fly breeding.
AS soon as pigs weigh SO pounds
have them treated for cholera.
Accumulate as much hay for win
ter as possible.
Make use of pastures for idle
horses and mules and thus save grain
Dairying
Keep milk cows out of swamps
pastures with stagnant ponds OF
creeks. Clean drinking water is
necessary. Stagnant water usually
carries bacteria which produce ropy
milk and other undesirable condi.
tions.
Give cows on pasture access tc
salt every day. They need about
one ounce per day.
Use a fly repellant on your cows
Good cows will pay for it.
Do not turn cows on pastures with
no shade trees during the middle ot
! the day.
Plant Diseases
Save seed from clean plants fol
next years planting of tobacco
watermelon, cucumber, muskmelon
! and tomato.
Clean up the peach orchard after

outstanding difficulties incident to
lack of fuel and TRANSPORTATION,
Evidence of this is found in decided
increases in ten of fourteen basic
industries. The iron and steel in
dustry in some sections suffered
keenly through Inadequate fuel sup
ply, Yet employment registered a
material increase. A more substan-
tial increase was shown in the metal

and steel.

country, the building boom contin-

falling off due to lack of materials
is noted.

about 10000 head of sheep; that these
sheep were ranged in the Wood river
country including the Sawtooth Ma

range became very important and
pressing one and it was the desire OF
Mr.. Clinton and myself to procure II
possible a large holding of Indicated
