CAUSE Of ABSENCE
Public School Association
Reports on Study of

The COMMON cold is the principal
reason for absence of school children
from their classes in the District of
Columbia.
This was the indictment passed on
colds today by DR.. Louise Tayler-
Jones, chairman of the committee on
health and sanitation of the Dis
trict of Columbia Public School AS
sociation. A study Of the causes of
children staying out of school was
-"~ne from September II, 1929, to
Hrh~ IS. 1924. The result was an

listed the aid of principals and

When the research had been finished

nlarkable how many times children
are kept out of school to visit the
barber, go to moving picture shows,
shopping or for some other trivial
cause. From the absences 1t was evil
dent, the committe found, that the
education of children was being re-
tarded.
In all. 1880 days of absence were
noted during the school year Out of
the 490 children recorded there were
but l2 in perfect attendance. Five of
these were in the Elizabeth Brown
school (Suburban). four in Park View,
two In Dennison and one In Lovejoy.
Seven of the pupils were boys and
nvc were girls.
0pcn-Wtndow Schools.
The research covered the same
number or boys as II did girls. The
report shows there is very little diff
ference In absence of boys and girls.
One of the outstanding features Of
the report, however. was the fact that
the children who were pupils in open
window schools were almost free
from colds. Also the number of con-
tagious diseases for children in the
classes of such schools was unusually
small, and their work was con3id Ter ed
better and more uniform than other
children of their ages and grades.
The results of the study have been
given to the United States Public
Health Service. which has publish ed
the facts. Walter Trey, secretary of
the Public School Association. will
distribute the pamphlet published on
the results Of the study to persons at

See Increased Interest
in Use of Fertilizers

Among the concrete results Of ex-
tension work along agricultural lines
which may be cited Is increased inter-
est ON the part of farmers in the work
with soils and in the use Of commercial
fertilizers. During the year 1922, ac-
cording to the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture, $4,000 farmers.
consulted their county agricultural
agents in regard to the use Of CONNER
cial fertilizers. In addition, farmers
conducted 1925 fertilizer and 4,035
lime demonstrations.
AS a result of the activities in con-
nection with lime, $4,000 farmers used
100000 tons according to the methods
advocated by the agents. In addition
to the above, 100000 farmers modified
their methods of soil management. In
order to maintain and improve soil
conditions, $3.50 drainage systems, in
volving $4,000 acres, and 1900 pieces
Of terracing, involving $4,000 acres,
were carried out according to the
methods outlined by the extension
forces.

Turkey Success Depends
Greatly on Free Range

Turkeys cannot be raised in BROOD
ers nor in the back yard with chick
ens," says H. B. Landsen Of the Uni
versity of Arkansas extension service.
Turkey hens are more successful with
young turkeys than are chicken hens.
Let them forage all they wish. They
require some wild variety of feed
which they find when at liberty.
1.-THE dread disease known as black
head destroys more than 60 per cent
of all turkeys hatched5" says Land
sen. 1.-THE only preventive and rem
edy that hars been discovered so far
is ipecac. AS a preventive, begin with
the turkeys when they are two or three
weeks old, giving a teaspoonful OF
powdered ipecac to each unit Of ten
turkeys, twice week, until they are
ten weeks old Those visibly sick may
be treated fairly successfully with five
drops of tincture ipecac three times a
day, but sick birds should be re-
moved from the flock while being
treated"

Importance of Oats in
One Rotation of Crops

Being engaged as we are In general
farming, we find oats play very i'm
portant part In our rotation Of corn,
oats and grass, or clover, because they
act as a nurse crop to the hay.
Oats form the main grain ration Of
most farm animals, being more Of a
muscle-building than fattening food,
writes Birney Marble In the Michigan
Farmer For years we have fed them
ground to the work horses, mixed with
corn to the dairy cattle, and with
bran and milk to the poultry.
During the winter we feed oat straw
with a little timothy to the work
horses to winter them over" when not
at work Of any kind. The straw that
remains uneaten is used for bedding,
being unexce1led for this purpose as
It absorbs liquids easily, readily rots
in the manure and has high fer
tilizing value
To put 1t all In a nutshell, we grow
oats because they are 4 square peg In
a square hole, being well adopted to
both the Michigan climate and our
needs, as we can use both the grain
and straw TO better advantage than
that Of any other grain.

PRAISES FARMING
AS FINE CALLING

"You young men of Wisconsin are
going back into an agriculture that is
operating. today on sounder basis
than is that Of any other state in the
nation"
w. M. Jardine, president of the
Kansas State Agricultural college,
made. this statement to the members
of the graduating class in the short
course at the Wisconsin College of Ag-
riculture
"No other occupation is equal to
farming as a means of really building
life," he further said "You cannot
build a life, however, without economic
security. The group to which you
young men will belong can master the
scientific and the. business side of
farming because Of the possession Of
ability and sound training"
Jardine congratulated the graduates
upon their choice of a calling by say
ing: "From the days OF legendary
Adam until now the farmer has been
the key man in all economy, and farm
ing has been the key industry. You
have, therefore, the satisfaction of
being about to enter upon or turn to
the most significant industry that the
world has discovered in thousands Of
years Of life"
He briefly traced the activity of the
farmer in community life down
through the years of history, and
pointed out that when great nations
turned from the pursuit of agriculture
they invariably lost their power. Life
on the farm with its variety of ex-
periences was contrasted by Jardine
with the monotonous work of the ma
jority of city occupations.
Country training under the right
auspices means a sturdy body and
character, habits of industry and
that. deep understanding of life and
character which has been character
istic always of great leaders," Jardine
declared. "The leadership Of the
world has always come from the
FARMS
"Re-enter the occupation of farm
ing, let me urge you, with true concep-
ton Of It's dignity. Reenter it in the
knowledge that you can build from it
an individual life, a family life, COM
munity life-the things which will last
as long as life endures."

FARM
O()lTR
EGGS TO SHIP
IN STANDARD CASES

Eggs for shipment should be packed
In new standard thirty-dozen cases
with new oilers and flats and six
excelsior pads. The filters should
weigh not less than 83a pounds to the
set. No claim for breakage will be
paid by the express company for eggs
packed in secondhand brown filters.
Careful grading, good filters and good
cases will pay. Most breakage is due
to the use Of bad filters and poor pack
ing. The use of excelsior pads has
reduced breakage rs per cent.
In packing the eggs first place an
excelsior pad in the bottom of the
case, then place a filler on this. 1t
will be noted in the honeycomb filters
that two opposite sides of the walls.
surrounding the eggs are firm and the
other two opposite sides are flexible.
The sides of the filler that are flexible
should run parallel to the sides Of the,
case. This lessons chance for break
age on the cars, since the egg cases
are piled in the cars with the sides of
the cases parallel to the sides of the
car. This method allows the firm part
of the filler to hold eggs against the
sudden Jars caused by stopping and
starting Of the train. Place the eggs
In this filler with the small ends down,
Embedding themselves in the excelsior
pad. On top of the first layer of eggs
place fat followed by filler, again
placing eggs small ends down. Pack
the third and fourth layers the same
as the second. Directly on the fourth
layer place another excelsior pad,
packing the fifth layer of eggs directly
on this pad, in the same manner as
the first layer. On this top layer place
another excelsior pad. The cover
should be nailed on with five three
penny large headed nails at each end,
but none in the middle. This leaves
a bulge in the center Of the case that
absorbs shocks, yet holding the con-
tents firmly
At each end of the case place tag
bearing shippers and receivers adj
dress.

Bigger Profits Possible
From Improved Animals

Kansas dairy farmers could In
crease their returns $20O00,000 year
by better feeding and better stock, ac-
cording to reported estimates of ]. M.
Frandsen, a dairy specialist, at re-
cent Kansas agricultural convention,
This estimate is considered typical Of
conditions throughout the country by
live stock and dairy experts of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, which is prepared to assist state
organizations and individuals In I'm
proving their methods In breeding and
feeding. The use Of pure bred sires,
particularly, is a practical, economical,
and rapid means of improving the
quality of domestic animals. Accord
ing to department records, more than
1900 live stock owners have placed
their herds and fiocks on strictly
pure bred sire basis, and reports from
these farmers show that pure bred live
stock has about 40 per cent utility
value over common stock.
AS a means Of encouraging better
feeding methods, the department has
developed simple feeding problem
sheet, which may be procured and
filed out by any live stock owner. A
specialist of state agricultural col
lege, or the department, then makes
an analysis Of each problem and
points out the means for solving 1t.

Great Value of Silage
in Wintering Beef Cows

The value of silage feeding is shown
forcefully by recent data furnished by
the bureau Of animal industry, United
States Department of Agriculture. In
the wintering of mature beef cows in
West Virginia it has been shown that
corn fed as silage is worth 60 per cent
more than shock corn. In growing
beef calves in Illinois an acre of corn
silage was found to be worth 80 per
cent more than an acre of shock corn.
This increased utility is attributed
to the many advantages Of silage.
Practically no waste occurs in the feed
ing of silage and it creates an appe-
tite for cheaper roughages. Then,
too, the same crops fed dry are not
nearly so palatable and succulent as
they are in the form of silage.

EARM Notes

Better seed, bigger crops, larger prof
fits, greater satisfaction in farming.
Experience2 Yes, but keep an ear
cooked for tips from the county agent.
High analysis fertilizers mean more
pounds Of plant food per dollar OF
cost.
A bolt in time may save nine hours.
Repair the farm machinery while yet
there is time.
How to save more money on the
farm in 1924: Use more homegrown
products for food and feed.
Cooperative thinking among farm
ers Is as important as cooperative
marketing of farm products.
Z There are many who think that farm
life is just one picnic pleasure after
another, but they are not farmers.
Dried blood Is a good nitrogen sup
ply and works more slowly than nj
trate of soda. 1t may be dug in when
seed is planted to coed advantage.

Never begin a garden. Keep it go
ing all the time.
Order plenty of seed, get lettuce and
radishes by the ounce.
The field is an expensive germina-
ton tester for corn seed.
AS never before 1.-THE reading farm
er is the successful farmer"
If you never grew any Of the big
winter radishes, try packet of seed
this year. Plant it in June.
And while you are planting don't for
get to plant some new thoughts in
your mind about better farming.
Early spring is the best time to stop
pulling fodder"-by preparing for
ample summer and fall hay crops.
The farm bulletin board is a good
method of advertising farm products,
but the local newspaper Is better still.
Even If frost kills your fruit after
wards, it's better to have sprayed and
lost than never to have sprayed at all.
