one ton Of hay an acre has been re-
ceived in actual trials from cutting
twice annually as compared with cut
ting three times annually. The only
objection to the two-cutting system is
the fact that the hay, especially that
of the first crop, grows rather woody.
However, this may be overcome by
cutting the first crop in the tenth
bloom stage and then cutting the Sec
ond crop, which naturally grows less
woody, in the full-bloom stage.
Where permanence is not desired
and f1ne-stemmed hay is eagerly
sought three cuttings may be advis-
able. On many farms the land Is
now so thoroughly lined that alfalfa
Is included in the regular three or
four-year rotation just as has been
done with the clovers. Whether two
or three cuttings are to be made this

Poisoning Cutworms to
Save the Garden Truck

Watch for the lowly cutworm on
cabbages and tomatoes. for great may
be the destruction it causes.
Plants set out on newly plowed sod
land are likely to be especially subject
to attack by this pest, states H. e.
Hodgkiss, extension entomologist of
the Pennsylvania State college. If the
worms appear destroy them quickly
by using sweetened poison bait.
The formula given by Hodgkiss Is as
follows: 20 parts Of bran, two quarts
Of cheap molasses, one pound of paris
green or white arsenic, and 31a gallons
or water, or enough to make sloppy"

Harvesting Date Important.
Holden points out that 1t Is quite
important, after the best strains have
been adopted, to harvest them for the
factories at the right canning stage
and to handle them at the factories
with the proper technique. Expert
enced Gamers who have paid atten-
ton to the quality Of the pack, are
able to make better product from a
given variety than ls the inexperienced
Gamer. There is room for improve
ment in canning technique with the
idea in mind Of putting out more uni
form product Of any given variety.
The points to consider In attempting
to improve the pack are maturity, con,
sistency, flavor, freedom from silk, cob
and husk, general appearance and
color
Beets are becoming of increasing
Importance as canning crop, accord
ing to G. e. Starr of the Michigan
Agricultural college, who describes
beets as a quick-growing crop, matur-
ing at time when there is little in
reference with other canning crops.
Beets when grown on good soil, pref

ALFALFA GROWERS TO
CUT CROP BUT TWICE

Alfalfa growers of the Badger state
can now produce their hay more eco
nomically.
L. f. GRADER, alfalfa specialist at
the Wisconsin College of Agriculture,
reports that two cuttings of alfalfa in
the fuli-bloom stage produce more hay
than do three cuttings in the bud or
tenth bloom stage. After running
four-year test GRADER found that on
the average the two times a year cut
ting is more efficient, besides 1t re-
duces winter killing to remarkable
extent.
Speaking Of winter killing, GRADER
says that the past winter has again

Feeding Broilers

The person who is expecting to mar
ket the male chicks as broilers usually
figures on forcing them somewhat more
rapidly than the pullets or the males
which are kept for breeding purposes.
There are really three steps in the
feeding of broilers, the growing, fore
ing and fattening. The growing period
varies to some extent with the breed,
the time of Matching and the size which
is desired at market time. Usually this
period will last from four to five
weeks.

Noxious Plants Are Bane
of Almost Every Farme

Pasturing with sheep will kill lots
of weeds, for sheep like the tender
plants Of white top.
Red sorrel is sign that soil needs
lime and manure. A good growth of
grass will crowd out sorrel. Moving
sorrel twice a year before seed forms,
in connection with lining, manuring
and crop rotation. will soon get rid of
1t.
Prickly lettuce will soon disappear if
no seeds are allowed to ripen, for it is
an annual plant. A few plants in a
fence corner may seed large field
hence keep down all weeds in fence
corners. The same goes for other
weeds, too. One of the best ways to
keep your farm clear of weeds is
TO sow clean seed.

year depends entirely upon the farm
conditions. If lasting stand is want
ed then, by all means, two cuttings
should be taken as near the full-bloom
stage as possible without making the
hay too coarse.
GRADER also points out that with
two cuttings the farmer strikes
periods when rainfall is conspicuous
for Its absence. Summarizing all the
advantages Of the two-cutting system
GRADER lists them as more lasting
stand Of alfalfa, more hay with less
labor, and better haying weather. A
new bulletin recently issued at the
college describes the new syBtel

Dirty Feet Retard EGGS

When yards and houses are wet
and ooze with moisture most of the
time, it means cold and dirty feet for
the hens. A hen that "gets cold feet"
seldom lays the right quota Of eggs,
and dirty feet make dirty nests and
dirty eggs. In cases where suit
able dry location is hard to get along
with other desirable factors, place a
three-inch tile even with the bottom
of the foundation on the outside, and
provide proper outlet for excess mOis,
ture.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1925-06-25

emphasized the value Of the two-cut
ting system in handling alfalfa where
permanence is desired. Many farmers
who cut their alfalfa three times last
year, especially those who cut it late
In the fall, found more winterkilling.
With the two-cutting system the
second crop is taken early enough to
allow for plenty of fall growth. The
second crop generally grows fine
Steamed; therefore, the second cut
ting may grow into full bloom before
cutting starts. This delayed cutting
of the second crop also builds up the
alfalfa roots to strengthen them
against winter injury.

THE PARCO NEWS
BY II. 7. DUCE
DRILLING IN
WYO. IN 1925
TO

With the dropping of production
In California. Wyoming will have
new demands on her oil resources
and we must look for a more inten-
sive drilling campaign than we have
ever seer before. Wells, will be
drilled deeper than ever before and
every possibility will get attention.
There has been a large overproduc-
ton talked about during the past
but very little has been said about
increase in consumption which
figures show are vastly superior to
the increase production.
A Few days ago an article came
out concerning the production during
the last two years. 1t shows that
the peak was reached In 1923 and
tina for the first time since 1906
production has declined. 1t means
that a big systematic search will be
made throughout the country for
more fields in an effort to at least
maintain the present production, for
consumption still continues to in
crease and should the present rate of
decrease in production keep up the
oil industry would be hard put to
meet the demands of the consumer.
Wyoming will get her share of at
tention. There are many possibili-
ties In our state that have, 30 far,
never been touched. Every one of
these will be taken into consideration
and many of them drilled and among
the most promising of all the dis
tricts Is that of Southern Wyoming
for actual tests and drilling through
this part have hardly scratched the
surface.
The following article appeared in
the New York Times Of December
the 31st. and gives some interesting
details on the production of the Unit
ed States:
The Interior Department issued to-
day a preliminary estimate on all
productions in 1924. stating that the
output amounts to about 717.OO0,O 900
barrels. a decrease Of $4,000 900
barrels, or 2 per cent. compared with
1923. and that this is the first de-
crease in annual production since
1906.
During November the daily aver
age production of petroleum. meas
ured by quantity transported from
producing properties. amounting to
l.s76,S67 barrels, decreased 56.4s4
barrels. The daily average imports
amounting to 221.635 barrels. in.
creased 1853 barrels. The daily av'
erage indicated deliveries to consum'
ers, amounting to the high record fig
ure OF ~2.140.667 barrels. increased
63.161 barrels.
The net result Of the months op'
erations was = decrease Of pipeline
and tank farm stocks of 2.7l6.000
barrels. the greatest decrease in
these stocks reported for any month
since August. 1919.
Half Of the production came from
the Midcontinent field, but California
conceded to be the largest producing
State.
Imports Of oil during the frs,
eleven months OF 1924 aggregated
73,89s.000 barrels came from Mex
leo. Exports in the same period ag
gregated 15.2s2.000 barrels. OF
which 7.S36.OO0 barrels went to Can
ada. The excess OF imports over ex'
ports was 5~s,3l6.000 barrels.
