The Crops Tor 1924

In spite of a chilly. backward sea-
son and some other discouragements
New England farmers are going ahead
with plans for crop acreages, in most
cases. about up to usual. Generally
the oat acreage remains but little
changed, and the crop, tho late and
in need of warmer weather promises
reasonably we'll Over long period
the acreage in hay shows consider
able decrease, but the annual change
is slight. Aside from being late the
hay crop promises good yields and
with warmer weather and a continue
ton of present moisture may easily
turn out big crop generally. Some
increase in alfalfa is reported. Pas
lures in New Hampshire and Vermont
are late and poor, but elsewhere are
but little below average.
Potato planting is progressing we'll,
even in northern regions and larger
acreage in most cases. seems likely.
Better seed generally being planted
and means larger yields The acre
age will be reported fully next month.
Unsatisfactory returns from onions
the past two years have resulted in
a much smaller acreage in the Con-
necticut yalldy this year. Tobacco
is now being transplanted, but opin-
ions of the final acreage differ, tho
less acreage of shade seems probable.
Preliminary estimates Of the acreage
will appear next month.
Home gardens and market gardens
>show the effect of the chilly, late
season in being much behind usual
development and growth Is yet mostly
slow.
Reports from the farmers general
ly show that the apple blossom per-
iod has been much more favorable
than last year. Weather was chilly
and cloudy with frosts in-some sec
tons but apparently the blossom
generally is sufficient for a good crop.
But this by no means insures a big
crop. 1t must yet encounter the
June drop, pests and disease troubles.
Present prospects for apples are best
in New England followed by Pennsyl-
yania, Colorado, Maryland. Virginia
and Ohio. Here the promise ranges
upwards from so per cent Of normal
crop In the group ranging from 90
per cent to so per cent of crop are
New York, California, West Virginia,
Michigan, Missouri Arkansas, Oregon
New Mexico, and the United States
with IL per cent, while Washington
with So per cent. Idaho with Sc per
cent and Illinois 60 per cent are low
est. Thus the poorest outlook is in
box apples, while barrel territory
ranges from poor to excellent and av-
erages about three quarters of a crop.
Connecticut and Rhode Island re-
port good prospects for peaches but
Massachusetts and New Hampshire
conditions are unprOmsing. Pears
last year were mostly a light crop,
but they now promise from so per
cent to 80 per cent of a crop.
The seasonal increase in milk pro-
duction is approaching the peak. but
apparently the increase per COW has
been slightly less than last year. 1t
may be due to late pastures and some
decrease in grain fed. Dry COWS are
receiving less grain than usual and
this will tend to limit production la
ter Low producing COWS are hard
to sell al any price, but good pro-
ducers command strong prices, es-
peciallv in the more prosperous dairy
sections least affected by low milk
prices.

Know Your Cow Project Successful
in Mercer

Many farmers are lacking informa-
ton on the merit of individual COWS.
This is due TO their inability to figure
the amount of butter fat each indi-
vidual COW in their herd is producing.
The extension department realized
that it was impossible for every man
who so desired to have his cows test
ed individually. The know your cow
project has made this possible. The
cows are tested three times during the
year for butter fat contents and at
the time of the third test the yearly
average Is worked out and steps TAX
en- to reduce the number of boarder
COWS in the vicinity, also helps are
given on feeding.
Thirteen herds were tested in Mer-
Ger, the total number of COWS being
approximately 100. Each man send
ing samples found some cow who was
doing more or less than they had
realized. Two more tests will give
them a real chance to know these
COWS true worth.
Other communities making plans
for this work are Madison, Ripley,
Hartland, Norridgewock, Larone,
Cornville and Cambridge.

YEAST is SALVATION
OF GROWING CHICKS,
POULTRYMEN CLAIM

"The baby chicks may be smart
little fellows from strong parent
stock" reads a government bulletin
on poultry raising, "and they may
have been brooded carefully for the
first two or three weeks, but unless
they receiver proper care and man
agement during their later growing
period they will not develop proper
ly, and many of them will be lost by
sickness or disease"
Realization of this fact has led to
recent widespread experimentation
in the feeding of growing chicks.
With the aim of uniform, continu-
GUS growth from Matching time to
maturity" as a popular authority
puts it, investigators have success
fully worked out very effective feed
ing programs.
In these new formulas, yeast, a
relatively new element in poultry
rations, has an important place. And
the benefits achieved by adding it to
the feed for baby chicks have been
so remarkable that many poultry
men think it will soon become a reg
ular part of chick mashes wherever
careful feeding is carried on.
And yet, they say, there is nothing
mysterious about yeast-feeding.
There are definite reasons for its
amazing effect on growth and health.
First, it supplies, in the most high
lv concentrated form in all nature,
the essential B-Vitamin, the vitamin
of growth. Second, it acts on the
other food in a way similar to diges-
tion itself, making it easier for the
chick to turn its food quickly into
energy and flesh and sturdy bone.
There is small wonder, then, that
poultrymen who have tried yeast
feeding are so enthusiastic about it..
tt has solved for them their only
real problem. Housing and care are
influences on the baby chicks, de-
velopment which they have always
been able to control. But proper
feeding, they say, was an insoluble
question until they began to add
yeast to the feed.
