NEW YORK, April 29.-Worry wrinkles were breaking out Sunday on the foreheads of holders of high threatened to send prices tumbling.
 With the Cuban crop now coming in, flooding warehouses and wharfs. the 40-point price decline registered at the end of the week brought the purchase of raw sugar almost to a full stop.
 If the refusal of many housewives to buy sugar spreads across the country, many operators will be forced to sacrifice their stocks and a general price collapse may follow.
 Sugar brokers declared that the impending boycott has already shaken the market

URGES SPIRIT OF PLAY
Dr. EdmOnds Gives Recipe For PrOucr Mental and Physical Shape

Urging more of the spirit of play and joy in the everyday affairs of life for the preservation of proper mental and physical condition, Dr. Henry NJ. Edmt nds. pastor of the In- dependent Presbyterian church, spoke Su day morning on the subject of Play" stressing its value as cure for many ills.
 In opening his sermon, pr. Ed monds declared that the old theories about play as being nc essary use of surplus energy, and as being means of education for life, were wrong.
 "Play is life itself" he declared. S9t Is full nature developing by ex- pression, and by activity. Psycholo- gists tell us that children dc not play becau they are young. but that they are young because they. play. By the same psocess of reasoning we are told that we do not stop playing because we grow old. but that we grow old because we stop pleyins

Cabbage Will Respond
Nicely to Use of Lime

The gardener and orchardist Is
constantly surprised at the responsive
ness of plant life. Some plants re-
spond to one treatment and some an
other, but certain it is that the
requirements Of each kind Of crop
grown must be studied rather than
to treat all alike.
In the study of fertilizer require
ments by the Ohio experiment station
both at Wooster and Marietta 1t Is an
outstanding fact that cabbage will re
spond markedly to the use Of lime.
Where one ton of ground limestone
is applied to the land each year, and
no other treatment is given there has
been an average increase for eight
years of IL tons Of cabbage. In con-
trast to this the tomatoes have given
only a little over ene-fourth ton In
crease. Likewise, when lime Is used
with either manure or chemicals the
increase from lime is striking. 1t is
a coincidence that lime is also a spe-
ciflc for club-root of cabbage and
gives additional reason for applying it.
Spinach is another crop that will
give a big return for the use Of lime
on an acid soil. The difference be
tween lined and unlimed spinach is
SO great as to lead one to think heavy
manuring or fertilizing was the cause.

Duty Of Hog Grower
to Watch His Herds
Many Diseases and Para
sites Cause Big Losses.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
A hog which remains in good health
from the day he is narrowed until he is
loaded on a market-bound train is usu-
ally a satisfaction to the farmer, the
packer, and the consumer. But there
are many diseases and parasites which
beset him during the few months al
lotted for his economic performance.
If this performance is TO be a credit
able one, says the United States De
partment of Agriculture, the hog grow
err must keep close watch over his herd
and learn to know something of the
symptoms which indicate the possible
approach of dangerous disease.
Hog cholera is the great enemy Of
the swine industry, although it has
been diminishing in Importance jas
result of widespread use of anti-hog-
cholera serum. 1t has been reduced
by about 60 per cent from the losses
during the most disastrous years, but
with greater care and better under
standing Of the plague it could be re-
duced to a much greater extent.
With the gradually increasing con-
troll of this disease, it is important that
swine growers give attention to the
many other ailments which cause
losses, some of which are frequently
confused with cholera. Among the
diseases with symptoms confused with
those of cholera are anthrax, epilepsy,
gastroenteritis, necrobacillosis, pleur-
isy, pneumonia, poisoning, swine
plague tuberculosis, and worms.
When there is any deviation from
the normal in gait, appetite, or diges-
ton, it is time for the owner to take
measures to prevent possible losses.
Minor ailments often can be successful
ly treated by the owner, but in case of
doubt it is the part Of wisdom to call
for a veterinarian.

Only Quality Eggs Get
High Prices in Summer

Egg markets of the country are over
loaded at this season of the year, and
thus eggs are sold on a quality basis
and not simply as eggs.
And because eggs are not Gust eggs"
these days, and because quality eggs are
the only ones that get the prices, the
wise poultryman takes every step to
put a super egg on the market.
Quality eggs are produced by taking
the male birds out Of the pens as soon
as breeding is over and being very par
ticular to keep broody hens off the
nests, for a setting hen can start the
process Of incubation after a few
hours.
r. b. Cray, assistant poultry special
list at the New Jersey State college,
suggests also that eggs be gathered
twice a day and kept in cool, dry,
clean place. Eggs should be shipped
often and in clean, dry cases with good
filters. A moIdy filler will spoil the
quality of the entire case Of eggs. BE
further adds:
Keep the nests dry and clean, as
washed eggs will not keep very long in
warm weather.
Cover the eggs up when on the way
to the station and keep them out Of the
sun at all times.
Be sure to grade more carefully dur
ing this season if you would get high
prices.

Buckwheat Quite Useful
as Short Season Crop

Bucxwheat is a short-season emer-
gency crop which can be grown in
many states. The crop is useful to
replace a corn planting which is
drowned out and cannot be replanted
and it may also be used to fill other
emergencies in the rotation. Buck
wheat always commands relatively
good price on the mslrket and, while
the yield is generally only fifteen to
twenty bushels per acre, the return
per acre is usually quite satisfactory
Buckwheat natures in ten or twelve
weeks and can be seeded as late as
the first week in July. It is adapted
to wide range of soil and, in fact,
will grow to better advantage on poor
soils than great many other crops
The usual seeding rate is four or FIVE
pec1s to the acre and the seed may be
either drilled or broadcasted. Among
the best varieties is the Japanese
buckwheat.
Cutting when the first seeds have
matured and the others are well
formed is advised. The crop must be
left in the field about ten days to dry
out and the balance Of the seed will
ripen in this time. If the cutting is
delayed until all the seed is ripe, some
of the earliest seed is likely to shatter.

Control San Jose
Scale by Spraying
Entomologists Trying TO
Find Effective Means to
Check Injurious Pest.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
The increase Of the San Jose scale
during the last two years in the Ozark
region of Arkansas has seriously
threatened the apple industry in sew
eral localities. Steps have been taken
by entomologists of the United States
Department Of Agriculture to find an
effective means Of control for this
pest. Of all the insecticides tried in
various experiments at Bentonville,
Ark, best results were obtained with
the so-cailed paraffin-oil or lubricating-
oil emulsion Department Circular
268, preliminary Report on Control of
San Jose Scale With Lubricating
Emulsion" by A.. j. Alderman, ento-
mologist, discusses the history and Sc
robustness of the infestation, and. de-
scribes the proper way to prepare and
apply oil emulsions.
csrelessness chief Cause.
Unfntentional carelessness in spray
methods on the part of growers is no
doubt the chief cause Of the present
widespread infestation. Unfavorable
weather for spraying during the dor
m8nt period has also been a factor in
scale increase. Lack of parasites and
predacious enemies is another expla-
nation of the rapid spread Of the pest.
Spray In Dormant Season.
The department recommends thor
oueh spraying in the dormant season,
during favorable weather, with an
emulsion containing 2 Per cent of oil.
Two dormant sprays should be made
in badly infested orchards No indi-
cation of injury to trees from the use
of the spray recommended has been
observed in Arkansas. Soft water
must be used in making the emulsion.
Applications made during the growing
season only result in a partial check
ing of the scale. They should be made
during the cool part Of the day or
injury to fruit and foliage will result.
Very thorough spraying work should
always be done to insure reaching all
parts of the trees, particularly the tips
of the branches.
The circular is free upon applica-
9ion to the United States Department
of Agriculture at Washington, D. g.

Fertilizers Should Not
Be Used as Substitute

Fertilizers should be employed in
addition to and not in place Of other
good soil-management practices" says
Prof. A. T. Wiancko of the Purdue
experiment station. 'Legumes in the
rotation, the use of manure or other
organic matter, drainage and lining
where needed are all perquisites to
the most satisfactory use of fertiliz-
ers.''
Results Of "a longtime experiment
on corn-wheat-clover rotation at the
Purdue station illustrates this point.
The treatment and results were as
follows:
Plot LINED 1912 and 1920, six
tons manure on corn crop, 1872 bushels
wheat per acre.
Plot 2-Same as plot 1 with 200
pounds per acre acid phosphate on
corn crop, 205 bushels wheat per acre.
Plot 8-Same as plot with 200
pounds per acre 2-8-4 on wheat crop,
26.7 bushels wheat per acre.
The significant thing about these
results is that in plot 8, the combina-
ton of good rotation, legumes, lime
and manure produced conditions re-
sulting in large returns from the use
Of suitable complete fertilizer. In
other words, as shown by plot 1, the
rotation, legumes, lime and manure
produced a favorable condition but,
compared to the others small crop.
The addition of complete fertilizer on
plot was all that was needed to
push the crop into a new field of
profits.

Extensive Experiments
With Apples for Swine

The Washington State college has
found that Gull apples are worth $40
a ton as hog feed, Extensive expert
ments were conducted the past year.
Pigs which weighed 94.8 pounds each
at the start Of the experiment gained
in weight $751; pounds each, or an av-
erage of 1.38 pounds per day. Each
pig was fed an average of 422 pounds
Of apples and AT pounds Of grain per
Gay. 1t was found that the apples
saved, per every 100 pounds Of gain,
400 pounds Of tankage, BIT pounds
Of millrun and GAP pounds Of barley.
TO do this, 1865 pounds Of apples were
fed. AS the apples are bulky, contain
ing little protein, it is necessary to in
clude little more tankage in the grain
mixture.

To pick up grown ducks and brakes,
always catch bird by the neck in a
firm grasp. Never pick up duck by
the body. If you do, you will make
trouble for yourself and the duck. You
are liable to bend or twist, or dislocate,
or break the bones of the wings and
legs. You can carry three or four
ducks. or more, as many as you can
lift, between two hands, in front of

Female Purebreds
Showing Increase
On Many Farms Scrubs
Have Practically Disap-
peared From Flocks.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture
When farmers adopt purebred sires
to Mead their herds and flocks it is not
long before the percentage Of pure
bred females increase notably. This
encouraging tendency toward more
rapid improvement of live stock has
been brought about by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
the Better Sires-Better Live Stock
campaign.
Scrubs Disappear.
OF a total of more than 100000 fe-
male animals listed by farmers who
have agreed to keep nothing but pure
bred sires, more than 35 per cent
are Of pure breeding. On these farms
scrubs have practically disappeared.
For the larger animals the reports
show that. only "a per cent of the fe-
males are scrubs, and, Of course, the
males are of pure blood, as that is the
basis on which the farms are listed.
The poultry f1ocks owned by these
farmers are particularly well bred,
only 1.3 per cent Of the female birds
being listed as scrubs. More than 50
per. cent of a total of $4,000 birds are
entered on the list as standard bred.
Among the herds of swine there are
very few scrub sows-only IL per
cent. Nearly-two thirds of them are
purebred.
The federal-state effort to improve
the live stock and poultry of the coun-
try has now brought in a membership
campaign that represents nearly mill
lion head of animals and poultry.
Farmers who have become members
have sent in interesting accounts of
their experiences in improving their
animals and their bank accounts. Other
farmers who are taking part in the
work are invited by the department to
send in their individual experiences as
we'll as those of community organiza-
tons engaged in the Improvement Of
live stock. Definite facts and figures
should be included whenever possible.

Angle Of Campaign to
Eradicate tuberculosis

An important angle of the campaign
to eradicate tuberculosis from cattle is
shown by the figures on the occur
renee Of this disease in hogs. In 1922,
one out Of every seven pigs slaugh-
tered under federal supervision
showed LESSONS of tuberculosis. A
good deal of the meat was consid-
cred fit for food, but more than $4,000
600 worth was condemned. Hogs got
the disease from cattle. Every herd
Of cattle that is cleaned up means
the same improvement in the hog in

has been reduced in Idaho focks
from 90 per cent in 1919 to not ex-
ceeding "a per cent in 1922, according
to reports to the United States De

been accomplished by culling cam

rection," says ]. B. Hayes, extension
agent for the state agricultural col
lege.
when we consider that nearly
twelve million hens are produced in
this state annually and that upward Of
half a billion eggs are laid by Wis
consin chickens every year, it is evil
dent that something must be done by
farmers to obtain the highest. possible
profits on their poultry products.
