Use Of Acid Phosphate
Does Not Iniure Soil

Not infrequently the fear is ex-
pressed that the continued use of acid
phosphate on land will increase the
sourness Of the soil. Experimental
evidence, however, shows that this
fear is unfounded. In fact, there is
evidence to show that it has slight
tendency to reduce the acidity. A
number of experiments have been
conducted in which heavy applications
Of acid phosphate were made on GER
tain plots for long period Of years.
The results show that these plots are
not as sour as plots receiving no treat
ment.
The term "acid phosphate" is pri-
marily trade name; derived from
the fact that it is made by treating
raw phosphate with sulphuric acid.
This name has been largely respon-
sible for the erroneous opinion. There
is nothing In the material which will
injure the soil. Its use may confidently
be expected to produce entirely bene-
fetal results.

Feeding Pigs Skim Milk
Makes Them Gain Faster

The animal husbandry department
Of the New Jersey agricultural ex-
pertinent station recently conducted a
feeding trial with skim milk for mar
ket pigs Two lots Of ten pigs each
were used The pigs we're of sim
liar age, weight and breeding at the
outset. Lot No. received shelled
corn, wheat middlings, and digested
tankage. Lot No. 2 received the same
feeds, plus 30 pounds of skim milk
per day. A self-feeder supplied the
grain rations for both lots. The in
crease in gains made by the skim
milk lot over the cost Of the grain
justified the feeding of five pounds Of
skim milk per pig at a cost Of
So cents per hundred pounds for
the milk. Furthermore, the pigs grew
much faster and we're ready for
the market at a much earlier date.
The skim milk should be pastuer-
lied, If from tubercular cows, as pigs
at this age are highly susceptible to
the disease. There is practically no
difference between feeding the milk
sweet or sour, SO long as one method
is adhered to regularly.

Peculiar Points to Look
for in Selection of Ram

II good lambs are to be had they
must have the proper breeding and
this cannot be gotten with ram
picked up anywhere at small cost.
According to T. G. Stone, sheep ex-
pert with the Iowa State college, many
farmers who are starting in the sheep
business are picking up rams just be-
cause they are to be had at smaller
cost, with ancestry unknown, than
those which have certified pedigree,
but cost little more.
In selecting ram here are some Of
the points to look for: See that he
has the masculine stamp. This is in
dictated by short broad face, large
broad nostrils, short thick neck and
general ruggedness.
See that he has a good constitution
and an ample chest capacity. This is
Indicated by the spring and depth Of
rib, good fore rib, and short strong
back. A good condition of fleece and
skin is essential and can be observed
by feeling of the fleece. 1t should be
dense and Of good length. The skin
is pink when the animal is in good
health. Fleece that is dry indicates
unusual conditions.
The ram should be close to the
ground and have quiet disposition
Much care should be taken in picking
a ram and the results will show very
soon. 1t is as essential to pick good
ram as it is to have good sire for thu
cattle.

Spacing Influence
on Crop Of Corn
Experiments Of Particular
Interest in Sections Where
Two Types Are Grown.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agricultura.)
Experiments to determine the in
fiuence Of space between hills Of corn
on the yield per plant and per acre
have been conducted for several years
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, and the results published
in Department Bulletin 1857, now
ready for distribution. The results
are of particular interest to those por-
tions of the United States where both
the single-ear and prolific types of corn
are more or less commonly grown.
Two Varieties Described.
The single-ear type is described as
having resulted from continuous selec>
ton toward one large ear per stalk. al
though under favorable conditions two
well-developed ears may be produced
AS contrasted with the single-ear type,
the prolific is distinguished by the
normal production of more than one
ear per stalk. The ears usually are
smaller.
AS both types are grown extensively, 1t
Is of agronomic interest to know which
yields more efficiently under ordinary
field conditions where the production
of the plants Is likely to be infiu-
enced by irregularity of stand and by
the inequalities of termination, soil,
and growing conditions. The purpose
of the present investigation was to
study the reaction Of these types I'M
der conditions that provided a wide
range In the environment, obtained in
this case by altering the spacing Of the
plants
Prolific More Productive.
In these experiments the prolific type
was more productive than the single
ear type. 1t also was more efficient
in increasing the yield per plant and
In increasing the number of ears per
plant. While the single-ear type was
more efficient in increasing the weight
of the ear, the prolific type produced
larger yield per acre because increas-
ing the number of ears was more effec-
tive than increasing the weight Of the
individual ears.
The experiments indicate that in
sections to which both types are adapt
ed in general the prolific will be the
more productive under conditions of
general field culture because of it's bet
ter adjustment to varying conditions.

Grade or Scrub Bulls
Used in This Country
Low Average Milk Produc-
ton Per Cow Is Result.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Seventy-fiye per cent of the dairy
bulls in use in the United States are
either grades or scrubs. They are
bulls from ancestry that has not been
bred generation after generation for
large and economical production of
milk and butterfat. This fact, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, accounts for the low average pro-
duction per COW In this country.
In 1921, there were less than 10000
purebred bull calves registered by the
breed associations. But this probably
does not represent half the purebred
bulls born in 1921. The $4,000 or more
that were not registered, were probably
slaughtered because their breeders
were not able to market them profit
ably. This is because the average
farmer is not yet convinced Of the adj
vantages to be derived from the use of
purebred sires. If every purebred bull
calf born in this country were raised, it
would take three or four years crop
of calves to replace the grade and
scrub bulls Numbering approximately
60,000) that are being used in dairy
herds. When it is considered that not
all purebred calves are worthy of be-
ing used, even on grade herds, and
allowance is made for the normal
death rate and other factors that enter
to cut down the number of purebred
bulls raised, the above estimate of
three or four years could safely be in
creased to five or six years as the time
that would be required to. replace the
scrub bulls.
Only per cent of our dairy cattle
are purebred, and the supply of pure
bred bulls would be wholly inadequate
If the farmers of the country could
only appreciate the benefit it would
be to them to head their producing
herds with purebred sires of good pro-
ducing strains.

Milk Is Valuable Feed
to Keep Chicks Healthy

Milk is valuable feed for young
chicks, as it not only stimulates the
many forces required for normal
growth but aids in the prevention Of
diseases. Sour milk or buttermilk in
many cases actually proves remedy
for coccidiosis, the most dreaded Of
all chick diseases.
AS long as the chicks can be kept
growing rapidly they are less suscep-
tible to disease of any kind, but es-
pecially to coccidiosis and 1t is largely
on account Of its aid in warding off
this disease that many poultry raisers
have come to consider milk as being
essential for chicks during the first
eight weeks

Prominent Duck Growers
Give Fattening RatiOns

In reply to an inquiry sent out by
the bureau Of animal industry Omitted
States Department Of Agricultural to
prominent duck growers throughout
the country, the following replies
among others were received by the
authorities:
"The last ten days before marketing
we feed about three-fifths cornmeal
with one-flfth flour and one-fifth bran,
with beet scrap and grit"
For market, keep them from swim
ming. Give one part green feed to two
parts grain mixture. Two to three
weeks before marketing shorten up the
green feed and add more corn. With
too much green feed the flesh does not
stand up so well as with more grain.
Two-thirds cornmeal and one-third
bran and middlings given with II per
cent of beef scrap makes good fat
tening ration"
'TTo condition ducks for market,
small dark enclosure with fresh drink
ing water and cornmeal mash hot in
the morning and whole-shelled corn the
rest Of the day. Give all they will
eat
Our market ducks are kept confined
and fed four times daily, by measure,
two parts Of bran, one part of corn
meal, one part Of oil meal and beef
scrap and one part Of shorts. Cooked
vegetables are added from time to
time This ration is dampened with
water until 1t will crumble. Green
feed, grit and water are always before
them"

thrifty litter is small. And only In
rare cases will it be necessary to buy
supplements. On dairy farms no bet
ter protein feed can be given than the

effort to obtain the same barge line
rates for Mobile that New Orleans
now has on import and export busi-
ness to and from the St. Louis terri
tory, will be made by the Mobile
Chamber of Commerce, it was stated
today by F. I. Spaulding, chairman of
the traffic bureau, which is handling
this matter
The announcement follows the con :
ference here Monday with Col T. Q.
Ashburn, in charge of the inland
waterways division of the war de-
partment, and Theodore Brent, man
ager of the Mississippi Warrior sys-
tenn, at which Mobile shippers were
told the rates would not be estab-
lished in the immediate future. These
officials held that the barge line
was not in a condition. either finan-
cially or from standpoint of equip
ment, to give Mobile the rates which
this city is seeking.
Mobile shippers hold that the re-
fustal of the barge line officials tc
give Mobile this rate is discrimina-
ton against this port and that it is
not consistent with esta blished rate
making principles and practices. 1t
Is on this basis that the appeal will

BIG PACKING MERGER
ATTACKED AT HEARING
Claim Armour Morris Consolidation
Means Loss To Cattle Men

KANSAS CITY, May 4.-The mer-
ger of the Armour and Morris Pack
ing companies was branded as the
biggest attack ever made in this
country against the antitrust law"
by B. T. Hainer, chief counsel for
Henry c. Wallace, Secretary of Ag-
riculture, in the government inquiry
being conducted here Friday.
Government attorneys at the hear
ing sought to show that Armour &,
Co, has made a series of attempts to
monopolize packing industry through
the purchase of competing plants
and otherwise exercising restraint of
trade.
Discouragement of livestock pro-
duction and depression of the Kansas
City market would result If the mer-
ger of the two large companies is
permanent, witnesses testified at the
hearing.
Most of the aggressiveness on the
local market is due to the activities
of Morris buyers, witnesses pointed
out, and with the sale of the Morris
properties to Armour e. Co., this has
removed that condition
The government is conducting the
inquiry here to ascertain if the mer-
ger Of these two large companies is a
violation of the packers and stock
yards act.
