TUBERCULOSIS IN SWINE DUE
TO POULTRY IN SOME PLACES

In some localities poultry is large
ly responsible for tuberculosis in
fection among swine, according to
the findings of the United States
Department of Agriculture. AL
though scientific and laboratory stu
dies of the different types Of tuber-
culosis have thus far not yielded def
mite information as to the degree in
which the various types of tubercle
bacilli affect animals of different
species, field reports shows clearly
that swine are susceptible to infec-
tion from both poultry and bovine
sources. The infection in given 10
cality may be from either one or
the other source, or from both.
tuberculosis in fowls occurs chief
ly among the older birds, especially
those more than two years old. The
most conspicuous symptom is go
ing light" meaning as the name in
dicates, a rapid loss of weight, es
pecially the emaciatiOn of the breast
muscles. Other symptoms are lame
ness and ruffled plumage. On post
mortem examination tuberculOus
fowls usually show whittish, grayish
or yellowish spots on internal Or
gans, notably the liver. The prompt
disposal of old fowls will eliminate
most of the tuberculOus infection,
but when serious on the farm it is
advisable to dispose of the entire
flock, to disinfect the poultry houses
and premises thoroughly, and then
to introduce new stock known to be
healthy. Dead fowls should be
burned or buried-never fed to hogs.

PREDICTS $1.S5 WHEAT
BY NEXT CHRISTMAS
David Friday Tells Credit Men Con-
tent in Agriculture is Near.

Before election day wheat will sell
for $125 a bushel and before Christ
mas for S1.35, it was predicted re-
Gently by DR.. David Friday, director
of research in the National Trans
portation Institute at Washington,
speaking before the closing session
of the National Association of Cred
it men at Buffalo, N. Y.
Reports on the American and Can
adian crop indicate a decline in pro-
duction, DR.. Friday said. He predict
ed a general upward trend of prices
for all farm products. Agricultural
content, he prophesied, will settle
over the country next year.
DR.. Friday said that although the
number of people on farms now is
only 10 per cent greater than 20
years ago, farm production has in
creased 40 per cent. Forget the
back-to-the-farm movement" he
continued. "It is not the solution of
the problem. During the next 10 or
Is years there will be no apprecia-
BILE increase in farm population.
There will be sufficient food by use
of more and better machinery. The
only difficulty now is that farmers
have not been able to get prices for
the last few years"
Eugene S. Elkus, San Francisco,
was elected president of the nation
al association at the closing session.

25 YEARS EXPERIENCE

twenty-five years experience in
bedding sweet potatoes for early
slips had not made a certain negro
farmer of Limestone County, Ala,
successful in his attempts. When
the local agricultural agent called
the negro farmers of this mans COM
munity together, early in 1928, to
discuss plans for the years exteR'
sion work, this farmer spoke of his
difficulty. Others present had also
had poor results from their methods.
The local agent explained the meth
cd recommended by the agricultural
college. Although somewhat doubt
full of success, after watching the
agent and a neighbor bed 6 bushels
of sweet potatoes, eight farmers
went home and tried the new meth
cd. Five of the eight, according to
reports to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, were able to
set out their plants by April 10 and
sold more than 200 bushels of sweet
potatoes on the early market before
their neighbors' crop was ready.

DAIRY HERDS in TENNESSEE
MAKE REMARKABLE INCREASE

One farmer shipping cream repre-
ton County, Tenn, in 1920. AT the
end of 1928, there were more than
446 farmers in the county shipping
cream from some 5000 COWS, receiv-
ing for the years production, accord
ing to reports to the United States
Department of Agriculture, more
than $250,000. This development
came as a result of careful study of
possibilities for other sources of
farm income than the one prevalent
crop, cotton, made in 1920 by prog
ressive farmers and the county agri-
cultural agent. 1t was found there
was a good nearby market for cream
and that the county was well adapt
ed to growing dairy feeds. Pastures
have been established, leguminOus
hay grown, proper feeding methods
for milk production learned, and
cream shipping developed as sup
Elementary cash enterprise. Only
COWS already owned in the county
have been used and only those far
mers making sufficient provision on
their own farm for feeds have been
encouraged to take up dairying. AS
these cotton farmers develop skill in
feeding and management, the pro-
duction of the herds is being built
up through the introduction into the
county of purebred bulls of high pro-
duction lines. Seven of these pure
bred bulls were brought in for coop
erative use last year and several
have been bought by individuals.

PLANS FOR EXHIBIT OF
DAIRY CATTLE AT FAIR

Plans for the exhibit of dairy cat
tie at the Delaware State Fair this
fall, made at a meeting of the Dairy
Cattle Committee of the Fair Asso-
citation call for many special prizes
in addition to the regular prizes Of
fered and which ought to result in
the greatest display of dairy cattle
ever seen at any State Fair. Attend
ing the meeting were Harry G. Has
kell and Henry J. Krebs and Oliver
C. Jones of Philadelphia, who repre-
sents the Eastern Guernsey Breed
ers' Association; H. G. Twaddell OF
Westtown, Pa, and H. B. Prowgey
of Elkton, Md, Jersey breeders and
T. w. Bacchus of Wilmington who
is interested in Guernseys.
When the question of prize money
for Guernseys was discussed Messrs.
Haskell and Krebs in a friendly de-
bate agreed to double the $4OO put
up by the Fair directors for Guerns-
ey prizes, each giving 5000. This
will give $500 for Guernsey prizes.
It will enable the committee to ar
range for four prizes in each class.
Mr.. Bacchus who is interested in
what the boys and girls clubs are
doing to advance the breeding OF cat
tie offered to give a prize of a full
blooded Guernsey bull calf to the
boy or girl, member of a club, IN
Delaware and adjacent states who
has the best Guernsey COW at the
Fair.
William dupont when informed of
what Mr.. Bacchus and Mr.. Krebs
and Mr.. Haskell had done, oftered
two special prizes of $25 in cash.
One of these will be given to the BOY
or Girl. member of a club, produc-
ing the best grand champion ana
the second $25 to any one, man OF
woman. boy or girl for the best
Guernsey display. So that in addition
to the regular prizes offered IN the
usual classification, if a boy or girl
should have the best Guernsey COW
and the best Guernsey display ana
the best grand champion they would
win a bull calf and $50 in gold.
Tn order that there may be no
the judges decision Mr..
with Mr.. Jones and Lewis
p Randall, secretary of the Fair,
will comprise the committee to ar
range for the entries. Mr.. Twaddell
will seek a competent Jersey judge
and the Eastern Guernsey Breeders
Association will see that competent
Guernsey expert judges the Guern-
sew cattle. AS now planned the
Guernsey and Hereford breeds will
be judged on Tuesday, the Holstein-
Friesians on Wednesday and the Jer-
seys on Thursday. All the judging
will be in a covered ring with seats
for spectators and the Judging will
be explained, point by point so that
it may be made as much of an edu-
cational feature as possible. Al
though the Guernsey and Jersey ex-
hibits will be elaborate the big fea-
ture of the dairy display this year
centers about the Holstein show.

A SMALL MENAGERIE
LOCATED IN MILFORD

For years Thad Windsor, proprie-
tor Of the New Windsor Hotel, has
had a hobby Of collecting wild ami
mails and keeping them for his
amusement. At various times he
has had all kinds of animals, with
the possible exception of an elephant
and giraffe. A few months ago he
had three bears among his cOllec-
ton, but one of them died and he
sold another. Last week he receiy-
ed a wild cat from a friend who
knew of his hobby for collecting
wild animals. On Friday of last week
another friend shipped him a crate
containing two full grown spider
monkeys. His present assortment
consists of a black bear, two spider
monkeys, a monkey, and one old op-
Ossum with thirteen young Opos
sums.
He has no parrots, ground hogs,
wolves or foxes at this time; but he
expects a timber wolf from the Can
adian forests within a very short
time Mr.. Windsor has fitted a piece
of ground in the rear of his hotel
along the Mispillion River as men
agerie and greatly enjoys showing
his friends his collection.

HOT PACK CANNING NOW
CONSIDERED BEST METHOD

Hot pack canning is one of the
recommendation made by the Bur
eau of Home Economics, United
States Department of Agriculture, in
it's most recent publication on home
canning. The reason for this recon-
mendation is that studies in the de-
partment have shown that it takes
much longer than was formerly
supposed in the case of certain veg
etables for the material at the CEN
ter of the can to reach the tempera-
ture of the Gamer. A short precOOk-
ing of the fruits and vegetables to
be canned shrinks them and makes
it possible to fill the jars with the
material boiling hot This hot pack
ing is especially important with
thick, pasty mixtures, such as corn
and sweet potatoes.
Tomatoes and fruits are canned
more easily on account of the acid
in them and do not shrink so much
during canning. It is is possible to
pack them directly into the can, but
in this case they should be covered
with Juice or syrup boiling hot. Even
these may be heated to boiling and
filled into the can, in which case a
much shorter processing period is
possible.
The department recommends that
the nonacid vegetables, such as as
paragus, string beans, lima beans,
corn, greens, Okra, peas, and sweet
potatoes, be canned only in the pres
sure Gamer. Fruits and tomatoes
may be processed in a water-bath
Gamer.
Timetables for processing fruits
and vegetables based on the most
reliable facts the department has
been able to gather at present may
be obtained on application to the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture.
