Statements are often made by ranch
men and others that prairie dogs raise
more than one litter in season, but
we have no evidence to substantiate
these statements. From records we
have in the Office Of the state entomol-
oglst the young Of the plains prairie
dog are born during the month of
April, and possibly the first part of
May. The number of young varies
from three to six. The breeding sea-
son may extend over period Of three
or four weeks. In number Of gravid
females examined on the same date,
the size Of the embryo varied from
that of currant to that of an Eng
lish walnut. Prairie dogs, at the pres
ent time, occupy about 100000
acres In the state and occur in 65

VEGETABLE GARDENS
OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Home Table Not Supplied With
Pleasing Variety.
Condition Resulted From Shortage Of
Labor and From Erroneous Idea Of
Some Short-Sighted Farmers
That 1t Don't Pay.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agricuiture)
There has been a marked tendency
on the part of farmers recently to
neglect their vegetable gardens and as
result the home table has not been
so well supplied with variety of
food as formerly, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
This condition has resulted partially
from a shortage of farm labor, but
more particularly from an idea that
has crept into the minds of farmers
that the garden does not pay. There
is no basis for the argument that the
farm crops take all the time and there
is no opportunity to work garden be-
cause production of many farm crops
is now overdone and there is little
sale for the surplus Potatoes and
cabbage were very plentiful during
the latter part Of 1922, but potatoes
and cabbage are largely farm crop
and have been produced in excess of
the demand.
The significant point in the whole
matter is that the farmers purchasing
power has from. various causes been
curtailed and he needs to produce
more and more of his own living and
depend less upon the grocery store
and the meat market. Years ago every
farm home had its full supply Of
home-cured meats, canned tomatoes,
dried beans and dried corn, fresh
ground meal from selected home
grown corn, and an abundance of
fruits and vegetables both in summer
and winter. Today many farmers
seem to be so busy growing crops to
feed the world that they neglect their
own home table. Make the 1928 home
vegetable garden worth while, and
thereby both increase the family liv-
ing and reserve it's income for other
uses.

PREPARE FOR EARLY SPRAYS
Lime Sulphur May Be Applied to APP
pie Trees for Oyster Shell and
San Jose Scale.

There are a few fruit diseases and
insects that may be sprayed for the
latter part of February or the first
of March. Lime-sulphur spray may be
applied to apple trees for oyster shell
and San Jose scale. This same spray
should be applied to peaches before
April first to check leaf curl and fruit
rot.
Bordeaux mixture and arsenate of
lead is used on apple trees just before
the leaves appear and later, just be-
fore the blossoms open. These sprays
are to control bud moths, tent cater
pillars, canker worms and other eating
insects. The spray just before the
blossoms appear is the most important
to control scab in apples and pears.
Before the blossoms on cherry trees
open, the trees should be sprayed with
bordeaux mixture for. fruit rot. At
the same stage, plums should be
sprayed with bordeaux mixture and
arsenate of lead for curculio and fruit
rot. Grapes should be sprayed before
growth starts with bordeaux mixture
for grape rot.

VALUE OF ORDINARY sILAGE
Ton Is Equivalent to About Four
Bushels of Corn Plus Tenth Of
Ton of Good Hay.

One rough and ready rule which is
not very far wrong with ordinary
silage under conditions as they now
prevail, is to figure that it has value
per ton equivalent to about four BUSH
els of corn plus one-tenth of ton
Of good quality hay. Still another
rule which applies fairly well with
ordinary silage yielding ten tons per
acre. and made out of corn running
fifty bushels per acre, is to figure
that ton has value equivalent to
FIVE bushels of corn plus $1.20. Using
this latter rule and figuring corn at
30 cents bushel, we find that silage
would be given value of $3.50 ton.

It is said that the original flapper

short skirts decades ago and who
used to 'roll her own. as far back

regular trips to market and it is their
custom to ride on the back of burros.

they ride along they don their foot
