Buckwheat Quite Useful
as Short Season Crop

Buckwheat Is q short-season emer-
gency crop which. can be grown In
many states. The crop Is useful to
replace corn planting which is
drowned out and cannot be replanted,
and 1t may also be used to fill other
emergencies In the rotation. Buck
wheat always commands relatively
good price on the market 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. 1t Is adapted
to wide range of soil and, in fact,
will grow to better advantage on poor
soils than a great many other crops.
The usual seeding rate Is four or FIVE
pecks to the acre and the seed may be
either drilled or broadcasted. Among
the best varieties II the Japanese
buckwheat.
Cutting whom 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. II the cutting Is
delayed until all the seed Is ripe, some
Of the earliest seed is likely to shatter.

Hog cholera Is the great enemy Of
the swine industry, although 1t has

by about 60 per cent from the losses
during the most disastrous years. but

With the gradually increasing con-
troll of this disease, 1t Is important that
swine growers give attention to the
many other ailments which cause
losses. some Of which are frequently
confused with cholern. Among the
diseases with symptoms confused with
those of cholera are anthrax, epilepsy.
gastroenteritis, necrobacillosis. pleur-

plague, tuberculosis, and worms.

Most Careful Attention
for Eggs During Summer

Eggs are easily secured In March.
April and May. 1t Is during the three
months which follow that the flock re-
quires most careful attention. Twelve
years results at the Storr's egg-laying
contest showed that normal well-fed
hen should lay within seven Of as many
eggs in June, July and August as she
laid In March, April and May. The
average cost Of feed for hen Is ap-
proximately 10 cents per month. This
feed bill naturally runs less in summer
months than in winter months. When
seven out Of ten eggs produced by the
average hen are produced from March
first to September first, can you afford
to overlook feeding for summer egg

Corn is more Of fattening ration
than a milk-production ration. but
certain amount of corn In ration Is
valuable. A considerable amount of
bundle corn can be fed to very good
advantage with clover or alfalfa hay.
Better results would be secured as
rule for the corn to be husked out and

HIGH SCHOOL
CREDITS MADE
CLEAR BY SUPT.
Entrance requirements of
colleges and universities
explained for benefit of
students and parents

Because a number of students and
parents have asked concerning uni
versity entrance requirements and as
there doesn't seem to be clear un-
derstanding of the relation between
these requirements and high school
graduation, Superintendent Gammage
has given the following explanation.
ANY student who expects to enter a
University or any parent who expects
to send a student to University
should see that the high school course
is planned so it will meet all entrance
requirements. The mere fact that a
student is high school graduate does
not mean that he can enter Un1ver-
sity unless the high school require
ments for graduation include all the
university entrance requirements.
For long time high schools based
their requirements solely upon univer-
sity entrance requirements. But when
they began to realize that only very
small percentage of the high school
graduates entered university, they be-
gan to break away from this policy.
1t seems reasonable that a student
can employ his time more profitably
in other studies than those required
for university entrance, if he is not
going to enter university. Not many
high schools require two years of fore
ign language for graduation but three
of the four colleges of the University
of Arizona have this requirement for
entrance. So studnets who are going
to the university should by all means
have two years of foreign language
in high school.
The Winslow High School is fully
accredited by the University of Ari-
zona and by the North Central Asso-
citation of Colleges, Universities and
Secondary Schools. This means that
all of its work is accepted at face
value just the same as any other high
school.
We require seventeen units for gra-
duation. Seven of these may be Sc
