RATS ARE GREAT ANNOYANCE
Best Time to Take Precautions
Against Rodento Ia In Building
Of Poultry House.

Rats are often source Of much
annoyance and loss in the poultry
yard. Perhaps the best time to take
proper precautions is In the building
Of new poultry house, through the
use of cement and fine mesh wire net
ting under the floor and around the
bottom of the side walls to make 1t
rat proof.
The next best thing Is to have the
poultry house or houses erected by
themselves at a little distance from
the other farm buildings, and so con.
structed as to make it hard for the
rats to find lodgment there. In this
case the rats will have to travel some
little distance before entering and
therefore run more risk of being
caught by the family dog or cat.

TRAP NEST HAS ADVANTAGES
Mighty Useful for Breeder Seeking
Hioher-Produclng Hens-Neces-
sary for Pedigreeina.

Trapnesting Is usually not practical
on general farms where chickens are
kept largely for eggs and meat, though
it pays we'll to head the farm flock
with cockerels out Of high-producing
trapnested hens. Trapnesting Is tre.
mendously practical for the construc.
tive breeder and absolutely necessary
for pedigreeing, unless birds are mated
In pairs only and each pair separately
penned. Pen matings, as compared
with pair matings, make 1t impossible
to identify the eggs laid by individual
hens unless trapnests are used.

&lNEAS GROWING IN FAVOR
Raising Of Fowls Becoming More
Profitable Because Of Gamey
Flavor-Market In Fall.

Guinea fowl are growing In favor
as substitute for game birds, with
the result that guinea raising Is be-
coming more profitable.
They are raised usually In small
focks on general farms, and need
large range for best results.
Domesticated guinea fowls are OF
three varieties. Pearl, White and Lave
ender, Of which the Pearl Is by far
the mos: popular.
Guinea fowls have a tendency to
mate In pairs, but one male may be
mated successfully with three or four
females.
Guinea hens usually begin to lay In
April or May, and will lay 20 to 80
eggs before becoming broody. If not
allowed to sit they will continue to
lay throughout the summer, laying
from 40 to 60 or more eggs.
Eggs may be removed from the nest
when the guinea hen Is not sitting,

chief of the forest service, United
States Department Of Agriculture,
"and uses 95 per cent of that amount
right here at home. The exhaustion
OF our timber supply is coming about,
not because we have used our forests
freely, but because we have failed to

problem, in a nutshell, is the enor-
nous area of forest land which has
been so logged and burned that it Is
producing little or nothing.

"This situation" the forester points
out. "cannot long continue without
grave consequences. If we are to re

some means or other we must see tc

The United States Department of

The fact that farm boys and girls

NDR 114 FLAX AND OTHER
SEEDS WANTED At THE
PURE SEED LABORATORY

The rather successful yields Of flax
which have come this year to those
who properly planted the crop, with
the news Of an increased tariff on flax
seed and its products seems to be very
encouraging news to many growers.
The pure seed laboratory has already
received many calls from those who
are interested in buying resistant fax
seed for sowing purposes. There was
large call for this seed last year, but
we could not aid much for lack of In
formation as to the seed in the hands
Of those who were holding it for sale
as seed.
1t is the business Of the pure seed
laboratory to inspect, analyze and to
report on seeds for those who wish
such analyses. The seed laboratory
would like to make this service Of the
laboratory as valuable to the growers
and buyers Of seed as it is possible.
1t is natural function of the labor
atory to put those who have good seed
to sell in touch with those who want
to buy good seed. Therefore, If you
wish the pure seed laboratory to do
this for you, let us hear from you as
to the amount of seed you are holding
for sale as seed for sowing purposes.
Send to the Office Of the state seed
commissioner a fair, representative
sample Of the seed which you are able
to sell, no matter what the variety or
kind Of grain. The seed laboratory is
particularly interested in procuring
resistant fax, resistant wheat, hign
quality oats, indeed, pure bred varie-
ties Of any kind of agricultural seeds.
Experts will analyze them and report
to you regarding the quality of the
same. If found Of good quality, your
name, address and the amount held for
sale as seed will be placed on the
state seed list and that list will be
! sent to those who wish to buy. This
ought to be of aid to all parties.
Therefore, let us hear from you soon
so that the laboratory can serve the
public in this important line Of seed
ccrtification, registration and listing.
To be Of most use we should build the
list early.

PICK POTATO FIELDS CLEAN
PREcAUTloN AGAINST DISEASE

The department continues to advise,
as in the past, that potato fields be
picked clean of the culls and diseased
tubers as a precaution against the
spread of disease. Late blight is over
wintered only in stored, living tubers.
Potatoes which freeze and decay on
the ground therefore, will not infect
the next crop with late blight, although
they may increase the soil content Of
Fusarium and bacterial decays. The
potato scab lives long in the ground,
and it is believed that the infection is
made worse by leaving scabby tubers
in the field. Scab does not injure ma
terially the keeping quality of potatoes
and scabby potatoes are good for cattle
feeds and starch.
In the western state, fusarium wilt
and tuber rots are of major conse-
quence. They infect the soil, and, as a
measure Of crop sanitation, it is recon-
mended that diseased tubers be taken
from the field.
AS each year there is a high peak
of decay for potatoes shipped in warm
weather, shippers should be careful
not to forward infected stock during
warm fall weather.
The Question Of Storage.
If low grade potatoes cannot be fed
or other wise used Immediately, state
extension directVs and state market
ing officials should decide on theil
specific policies with reference tt
whether to bank or otherwise hold
them for further distribution, Il
needed. The department recognize!
the marked difference, in this matter
between producing sections within easy
reach of centers of consumption at low
transportation costs and those which
are so remote that shipments involve
heavy freight charges.

ROTATE TO DESTROY INSECTS
Working Soil at Different Seasons Of
Year Keeps Down Weeds and
Injurious Bugs.

Weeds and insects are more easily
controlled by practicing rotation be-
cause, for different crops. the soil is
worked at different seasons Of the
year. and thus weeds which are preva-
lent at one season may be destroyed by
growing spring crop and those preva.
lent in another season by growing a
crop for which the ground is worked
in the fall. The same is true of In
sects which affect one crop but not an.
other; thus, by rotating crops on q
field insects are also largely de.
strOyed.

One objection made TO the navel

ffNTERNATl OVAL NEWS SERVlcEJ
WASHINGTON, MARCH 2.-The mil
lenium has not arrived just because
the world powers gathered around a
table here in Washington and agreed
70 cut down their navies. Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt. de-
c1ared yesterday, in addressing the
National Rivers and Harhors CON ress.
He issued ? warning against too
severe cuts In naval appropriations at
the hands of congress
I'VE have not reached the millennium
through the navy treaty we have just
signed" he declared. Friction will
arise and while the armament confer
encs will serve as guide post, 1t is
essential that we keep up the navy
as II was worked out by the confer
ence. BY that treaty we get a navy
second to none in the world. We get
navy that is the equal of that of Great
Britain and SUPERIOR to the navies of
all other powers"
The trouble is" added Col. Roose-
Welt, that considerable misapprehen-
sion has arisen as TO the immediate
economies we will secure from the
naval treaty. The assumption in many
minds is that this years naval bill
should be much lower than last years
appropria ton. The fact is that while
great economies Will be made. we must
not attempt too many economies or
else we Will disrupt the successful
working out of the treaty"
