State discovered that they were feed
ing about twice the amount Of cot
ton-seed meal necessary. thereby in
ereasing their costs Of gain about
25 per cent. according TO J. S. Pull
en-, county agent. Some Of them
were feeding as high as eight pounds
Of the meal day to each steer when
four pounds would have been suffiei-
ent.
Twelve feeders accompanied by

Plans Of interested farmers, live
stock breeders and the extension di-
vision Of the College Of Agriculture

practical way in which TO rid the
county Of inferior beef animals. local
livestock breeders and interested
farmers will promote another one
next year, according 10 a report.

by Others In different parts Of this
State, according to wayland Rhoads

BETTER CREAM
MOVEMENT
Going to Many Counties

After successful starts in two
counties, plans Of creameries in Ken.
tueky to buy cream on quality
basis instead Of paying a fat rate for
all grades are expected to be develop.
ed rapidly in other counties Of the
State, according to a report on the
project. Creamery men in Mercer
and Mason counties already are pay
ing for cream on the basis Of its quail
ity while cream station operators in
n number Of other counties are being
instructed in the grading Of cream
and notified to pay more for good
quality products.
The cream grading movement is
the result Of an increasing demand
from manufacturer for better
grade Of cream. In an effort 10
remedy the situation in its own local
ity, one Louisville firm started n plan
TO pay eight cents more a pound for
butterfat In sweet cream than is be-
ing paid for that in cream Of aver
age quality. SO much low grade
cream has been marketed in Ken
lucky that the markets are over
crowded with low score butter for
which there Is little demand and for
which low price IL paid.
Suggestions TO farmers on recon-
mended dairy practices and the care
Of cream before IL is marketed are
being sent out by the Kentucky Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station in or
der TO help farmers meet the de-
mands for a better grade Of cream.
The producer who exercises reason
able care TO see that the TANKS and
udders Of his cows are cleaned at
milking time, that all buckets. cans
and containers are washed and scald-
ed before used that his cream Is
cooled Immediately after milking and
kept cool. and who delivers his pro-
duct at least three times a week in
warm weather and twice week dur
ing the winter months will have little
difficulty in producing a good grade
Of cream, the station dairymen say.
The best cream will be sweet or
only slightly sour. will be smooth and
from all undesirable favors and cd
clean. have a clean taste and be free
ors. Farmers can improve their
cream by studying their own condi-
tons and remedying those that con-
tribute toward the production Of low
quality products, the dairymen say.

Early April Best Time
To Seed Sweet
Potatoes

Sweet potatoes, one Of the main
crops in Kentucky. are best bedded
for plants during the first ten days
in April. the most favorable date for
bedding being somewhat earlier in
the eastern part Of the State, accord

State produces about two million

bushels of the crop each year.
Better plants usually are obtained
by using hot bed Of some kind al
though many plants are grown with
out this aid. An eight to ten inch
layer Of horse manure covered with
about fouf or five inches Of soil. pre-
ferably pure sand rather than garden
soil. gives good results in the bed.
Planting healthy seed, that has
previously been treated. in soil that
Is known to be free from black rot.
scurf and other sweet potatoe dis
eases is the only method Of controll-
ing these, the suggestions point out.
The seed may be treated easily by
placing II in a bag or basket and in
sorting this into a wooden tub or bar
rel containing a mixture Of one ounce
Of corrosive sublimate or bichlorids
Of mercury and seven and one-half
gallons Of water. At the end Of five
or ten minutes the potatoes should be
removed and rinsed of in a tub Of
water after which they should be
spread out to dry. The same solu-
ton can be used three times. four
ounces Of the corrosive sublimate be-
ing enough TO treat from six to ten
bushels Of seed Precautions are
necessary in handling this material
as il Is deadly poison.
Disease free soil can be secured
for the plant bed from a field that
has not grown sweet potatoes for at
least six years. Fileds that are
known to be infected with the dis
eases are not safe places in which TO
plant the crop for from four to six,-

Pruned Grape Vines
Give Heavier Yield

Pruning grape vines helps TO keep
them within the desired bounds as
well as encourage the growth OF
more fruit and larger punches and
berries. recommendation being made
by horticulturists at the College Of

able to prune AS soon as possible be-
fore the vines begin TO BLEED heavily
although il Is a recognized fact that
bleding does not prove particularly
harmful.
While grape pruning may be con-
sidered. IL is wei Ito remember that
no fruit Is grown except on shoots
coming from buds on last years
growth. the specialists say. Growers
who are not following a definite sys-
TEN for training their vines will do
well TO prune them back to two buds
which will mean that about three
fourths Of the past seasons growth
will be cut away.
