Intermediate Boys Camp Is First Of 1924
 Season

Opening of Winnataska, summer camp of the Birmingham Sunday School association, is the final sign that the hot season is full upon us. This camp, for several years, has formed the principal single point of assembly for Magic City boys and girls unable or unwilling to visit more re- moved and costlier places. The first camp is that for intermediate boys, and openes today. ,,
 Roman "Speedy" Spiegle and Bill Bancroft are among those who will direct the boys athletic activities on the camp. Spiegle is to be there all summer as head life guard, athletic worker and general factotum. He is a letter football man of Central High. and has starred in sports at Oberlin college since his graduation from the local institution.

LOCAL FURNACES
 AHEAD OF NORTH
Vanderbilt No. 2 Quits Saturday-Little Iron
 Is On Yards

. Vanderbilt furnice No. 2 of the Woodward Iron company, located on the Mt. Pinson road, will blow out Sat urday to remain idle for an indefinite period. In making this announcement Tuesday, Frank H. Crockard, president of the company, stated that weakness of the iron market had caused the move.
 Action of other furnace companies in the district, it is stated, will depend entirely upon market developments. Well informed industrial men Tuesday called attention, to how much better conditions have been in the Birming- ham district than in many of the north ern and eastern centers. It was pointed out that 66 furnaces have gone out of blast in the north since April 1. One man had information that Midyale steel is in a 50 percent production basis, Youngstown at 54 per cent and that the Ford plant in Detroit was on a five days week basis. Other cen ters were said to be showing a similar decrease in production due to lessened demand.
 J. W. Mcqueen, president of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron com pany, when asked about northern fur naces going out of blast, said:
 'Yes, it is true that sixty odd north ern furnaces have gone out of blast since April 1, and my information is that probably others in that territory will follow suit. While some furnaces have gone out of blast in the south, yet the Birmingham district is blest at this time with a production ratio high CT than any I know of.
 There is less iron on the furnace yards in the Birmingham district than there has been for many years. This indicates that the south generally has been working on very near full time. I dislike to give out discouraging infor. nation, as it is my desire at all times to see our district hold it's own, but ordinarily we do not run our furnaces

Cuthbert, King, Latham,
Marlboro Better Berrie,

The tendency of the everbearing
red raspberries to produce fruit In
the fall does not interfere with the
formation Of fruit the following sea-
son at the usual time of ripening. IN
fortunately, the quality of the fruit
Of most fall bearing varieties is not
of the best, and this applies particu-
larly to the st. Regis. They are not
comparable to the old well known
sorts like the Cuthbert, King, Marl-
boro, Latham, etc. Not only are the
berries of the st. Regis poor in flavor,
but the fruit is under sized, which
makes the picking of them slow work.
This tendency to r1pen fruit in the
late summer and fall is but rarely
seen on the better varieties but is
common to one or two sorts like the
st. Regis and because Of this it is
made much of by some nursery men.
Because of the showing that it has
made many folks will be pursuaded
to plant it next season. OF course
1t will produce fruit for the canes are
reasonably hardy, but folks will do
we'll to pass them up and confine their
planting to the better varieties men
toned above.

People Enjoy Themselves.
Forced Noting Causes
EGG Production to Stop

The common idea that if hens are
compelled to mott early they will
quickly feather out and commence lay
ing early in the winter is erroneous,
concludes the New Jersey College Of
Agriculture at New Brunswick after
several years of observation.
Laying hens should be allowed to
mott naturally. An early mott does
not signify quick resumption of pro-
duction. Usually the late-molting hen
is the heavier producer. In fact, a
lack of feather growth Is one Of the
things to look for when selecting hens
for holding over second year for
the breeding pen.
Very often show birds are forced
into a mott by restriction Of feed.
This Is done so that the birds may
be In full feather once more for the
show season. This should never be
practiced with utility stock. 1t will
cause production to stop and will
weaken the hens at time of the year
when their full strength is needed.
1t is unwise to change the general
character of the feed during the mott
The addition Of some oil-carrying in
gredient, however, such as sunflower
seed, will aid in the development Of
new feathers.

COMBATING PESTS
BY CROP ROTATION

In planning the management of
seasons, few farmers consider the eff
feet that any given procedure will
have upon the injurious insects with
which they will have to contend.
A field which has been for several
years in corn, wheat, potatoes or beets,
may be sown to some other crop for
the sake Of soil improvement, but how
often is it considered necessary to
rotate crops to avoid insect injuries?
In most cases, 1t Is left out of con-
sideration entirely until the crop has
been seriously injured or destroyed.
Practically every crop grown by
man is attacked by large number of
insect enemies Corn is attacked by
at least SO common injurious species;
wheat % !; beets, SO; and the apple, 20.
Many insects feed on only one plant.
1t may always be expected that a few
such pests will find their way into a
field If not very abundant, they may
pass entirely unnoticed and the injury
they do will be slight. Many or most
insect pests spend the winter close
by the scene of summer feeding, in the
ground, under rubbish, or close at
hand. Assuming now that the field Is
planted to the same crop the succeed
ing season, it will start out with an
abundance of insect enemies especial
II adapted to that crop. Instead OF
slight injury, we may have a serious
attack.
If, on the other hand, the field is
planted to different crop the insects
will emerge from their hibernal quar-
ters and have to search for suitable
food AID only a small percentage will
find their way to the new field. OF
course all insects cannot be controlled
by crop rotation, but a carefully
planned rotation to avoid probable
insect attack when planning the pro-
cedure for a season or series OF
seasons will always pay, and pay well.

Fattening Gull Hens Is
Good Improvement Plan

Many load Of Gull hens could be
improved by short fattening period
before they are taken to market, says
L. E. Card of the University of Illinois.
Though gains to be made are consider
ably less than is possible with broil-
ers, the improvement is still sufficient
to more than pay for it's cost. A
simple mixture of two-thirds cornmeal
and one-third wheat middlings mixed
with enough skim milk or buttermilk
to form a thick batter will give good
results. This should be fed to the
hens twice daily giving only what they
will clean up in 20 or 30 minutes. No
water should be given except as 1t
forms a part of the milk used in mix
ing the soft feed.
This makes it highly important that
the birds be kept in place that is
cool and comfortable.

FARM NOTES
10 - ---s-

Early seeding is essential for good
oat crop.
Glover and alfalfa are more promis-
ing nitrogen factories than Muscle
Shoals.
Pertinent question for landowners:
"Why should tenant improve some
body else's soil?"
No, time isn't much to hog, but a
warm, dry place in the winter is, and
he'll gain faster for it.
Success in the dairy business de-
ponds upon the COW and the man. If
you are sure Of yourself then test the
COW.
It is estimated that during the past
year live stock shipping associations
in the United States handled over
S162. 100000 worth of stock
The scrub ram is luxury that few
farmers can afford; his first cost is
only a small part Of the entire cost,
for each one of his offspring is worth
at least a dollar less than that Of a
pure bred ram.

SIZES IN POULTRY
ARE COMP RATIvE

Size In poultry Is comparative. Take
a group of newly Matched chicks OF
mixed breeds and varieties, and there
Is little difference in their size; the
Leghorns will reach pound weight al
most as quickly as the larger breeds.
When it comes to exhibition poultry
the Judge in determining the size COM
pares the birds in competition with
due regard to the weight Of the breed
and variety 1t must be neither too
large nor too small for the breed and
variety if it is to avoid cut on size.
A poultry leaflet from Ames has
this to say about the standard terms
for size:
eft should be clearly understood
that the terms used In the American
standard of perfection, such as breed,
long moderately long, etc., do not In
any case involve comparisons with 9th
err breeds Of fowls. In all cases they
refer only to comparison between the
different sections Of the birds under
consideration, and with the standard
illustration of the ideal bird Of the
same breed and sex. For example,
the head of the Barred Plymouth Rock
male is described as moderately large.
This does not mean that it is moder-
ately large as compared with the head
of a Leghorn on the one hand or a
Brahma on the other. But it means
moderately large when compared with
80 no cSOV hfTsH
The standard could nave specified
small, delicate, finely cut head for the
Plymouth Rock male or one that was
distinctly large. But it calls for a
moderately large head when compared
with the other parts or sections of the
same bird"
The size of a specimen must con-
form to the type demanded for the
breed it represents.
