Pruning Should Be Done
Before Big Spring Rush

"Get at your pruning of fruit trees
and grapevines now, before spring
work begins to crowd"
This is the advice received from
Oklahoma A. and M. college, written
by Frank B. Cross, professor Of hor-
tfculture. The work may be done any
time in January or February, he says.
Some of the pointers Professor
Cross gives in pruning are:
Do not leave branches pruned from
trees in the orchard; disease will
infest the trees from the rotting
branches.
Apple, plum and cherry trees re-
quire only a light annual pruning to
remove crowding branches, so that
sunlight will penetrate to the centers
of the trees to ripen fruit.
Peach trees require a rather Sc
we're" pruning, and are not profitable
when closely cut. Fruit is borne on
sprouts put out last year, and heavy
growth of sprouts follows the removal
of any considerable growth by prun-
ing. Pruning may be done after BIOS
SONS open.
In pruning grapes, growth made last
season should be cut to spur bear
ing two buds. Grapes should be
pruned before sap runs In February.

Stone Fruits Subject
to Numerous Diseases

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Various diseases occur on such
stone fruits as peaches. apricots, nee
tarines, plums and cherries during
marketing. 1t has become of increas-
ing interest to growers, shippers, car
riers and receivers Of such fruits to
know the names and causes Of these
diseases, how they behave In transit
and storage and how they can be con-
trolled Farmers Bulletin 1435, issued
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, discusses these diseases
Of stone fruits, giving most attention
to the market phases Of the problem.
Field phases, however, are considered
when reference to them helps explain
conditions which may arise during the
marketing process. A copy Of the bull
letin may be had free Of charge upon
request, while the supply lasts, from

Keeling in Trees

When you buy trees and plan not
to set them until toward spring they
should be heeled in. To have them
handy to set when you are ready they
should be heeled in In upright position
in single row, and each bunch with
the labeled tree the last to be set. To
do this begin each row with the
labeled tree and when all of that va
riety are set leave space enough after
it to give room for removing 1t when
you want it, and then set the labeled
tree Of the next sort. BY this method
you can set any trees you wish at any
time and keep them labeled in the
row until the last tree Is set. Heel
the trees in rather deeply, and work
the soil in about the roots well, almost
as thoroughly as if you were setting
them, and you will have them in fine
condition.

Important Facts on
Making Good Lawns

The latest in lawn making, accord
ing to experiments of the Department
of Agriculture, is summed up in the
two paragraphs below:
/. Seeding plants tend to go to seed
at the same time old plants mature
and seed, the season being determined
by either the temperature, or the length
of daylight, or both. Seedlings of late
sown seeds thus have little chance to
develop strength before they are called
upoK to reproduce, and this exhausts
them.
2. Seed must be covered If it is to
terminate, and where it is thrown upon
an established lawn, a top dressing is
required to insure coverage. This
should be sand Oh loan well enriched.
Fact No. shows the danger of de-
laying seeding, denying seedlings a
chance to spread out and become well
established. This is especially notice
able in dry seasons, often exhausting
the young grass. If snow-covered, pre-
pared soil is seeded, the seeds settle
into the honeycombed soil and are
covered deep enough to terminate.
Fact No. 2 emphasizes the impor-
lance of covering the seed in order to
insure termination, showing the ne
cessity of having loose layer on top.

POULTRY
FATS :
CAUSES OF FAILURE
IN CHICKEN GAME

The poultry business Is developing
fast, but a great many people are
dosing money with poultry. There are
reasons for everything says d. H..
Hall, extension poultry husbandman,
at Clemson college, who points out
-four of the main causes Of failure in
the chicken game.
The first cause of failure in rails
ing poultry is starting off on too large
a scale There are many things for
a beginner to learn about the poultry
business. He should start on a small
scale and gradually grow into the
poultry game until he knows every
angle of it. He should so slowly at
first and then increase his business
by degrees.
The second reason why people are
not making money in the poultry
business is the purchasing of poor
stock for breeding and laying pur-
poses. Because some people have
pure bred poultry does not mean that
they always have the very best. The
man that goes into the poultry BUSH
ness should start out with the best
stock possible.
The third cause of poor results in
raising poultry is the lack of proper
equipment. A great many people will
try to raise chickens when they
haven't the equipment to raise them.
Equipment is just as necessary to
have as the poultry itself. The equip
ment does not have to be expensive,
but you should have the necessary
things to make the handling of poul-
try easy; for instance large mash
hopper to hold plenty of mash, large
water fountain so that water can be
kept before the poultry at all times,
and a good poultry house that is ar
ranged conveniently.
The fourth thing that causes fail
ure is the lack of care and attention.
If you do not love poultry and if you
are not willing to give it your time
and attention, you cannot expect very
much out of it. You must like the
business and be willing to spend Ia
hours each day in caring for the ppul-
try if you expect to make success
of it.

Chicago Fat Stock show Of that year

Chicago Fat Stock show OF that year
in the cost of production class, the
lowest cost per pound of gain in the
three year-old class was $O.S16 as
compared to $O.821 in the yearling
class. Here, then, is one of the chief
reasons why the live stock men are
responding to the forces of the mar
ket by ceasing to hold their animals
long enough to allow labor and over
head costs to eat up the profits made
during the early life of the animal.
Quicker Turnover Is Here.
1.-THE live stock man finds himself
governed by the economic forces that
have been operating in the develop
ment of our country. The farmer Is
compelled to pay greater attention to
market demands, and there has been
a change in the demands of the con-
sumner. 1t is in the demand for the
high-quality baby beef, the high
priced cuts of the rangy smooth
finished hog, and the greater efficiency
of meat production in young animals
that we find a quicker turnover in the
live stock industry"

Thinning Out Farm
Woodlot Will Help
In Winter Remove Dying
and Defective Trees.

Nearly every farm woodlot can be
improved by the removal Of dead, dy-
ing, and defective trees, and some Of
the less valuable kinds as WELL This
work can best be done in the winter
months when other work is slack.
Water is also the best season of the
year in which to cut timber, since
those species which sprout naturally
from the stump will do so vigorously
In the spring. The work of chopping
and handling logs likewise is much
easier in winter.
The way to make these cuttings is
to remove all dead and dying trees,
those which are suffering from dis
ease or insect attack, and trees which
are crooked and defective, or may be
hindering the growth of others more
valuable.
1t should be kept in mind that the
stand of trees is not opened up to
such an extent that grass and weeds
will grow where young trees should
be growing In other words, the
'crown cover should be kept so that
about one-haIf shade will be provided.
Nearly all species Of trees will repro
duce naturally without special effort,
and a second crop should be obtained
without any difficulty. In the case of
failure from this source, it is possible
to plant young nursery trees to take
the place of those cut.

Prevent Frosted Combs
by Proper Ventilation

In cold ATTITUDES it is necessary for
poultrymen to guard against frosted
combs. Many people think that the
best thing they can do to prevent
frosted combs is to keep the henhouse
closed as tightly as possible. This is
a mistake for it is fact that moist
atmosphere is much more conducive to
freezing than colder temperature
when the air is dry, says a writer in
Successful Farmer.
The house should be well veI tilated,
so that the moisture is quickly carried
away and replaced with fresh air.
Your poultry house should have
enough open space on the south to
equal one-fourth the total floor space,
and If it does not have that much
open space, 1t will pay you to do a
little remodeling. This open space
should be. covered with muslin For
this purpose a medium grade is best,
one that will prevent wind from blow
ing through, and still permit slow
circulation of air.
The back of the poultry house will
naturally be the warmest and best
protected, so it will be wise to have
the droppings boards and roosts at the
back of the building.
Another important thing to remem-
Der during cold weather is to keep the
fowls busy. If you go to the poultry
house very early in the morning, you
will see that the birds get off the
roosts and stand around on the floor.
If there is scrasch feed scattered in
the litter, they will go to picking just
as soon as 1t is light enough, thus
starting the blood in rapid circulation
and lessening the danger of frozen
combs
If you allow the fowls to drink ice
water on frosty morning, it will not
only lower the egg production but the
males are likely to freeze their
wattles.

QUICKER TURNOVER
TREND in STOCK
Badger Farm Boys Win
High Honors in Ma
tional Contest.

That there Is a positive trend to-
ward quicker turnover in about all
lines of live stock production was
concluded by hundreds Of essayists
who took part in the Saddle and Sir
loin club national essay contest, win
ers of which were announced at re-
cent dinner of the American Society
Of Animal Production.
Five of the winning essays were
submitted by Wisconsin contestants,
second, third, fourth, fifth and eighth
places being awarded Badger stu
dents. The subject for this years es-
say was "The Trend Toward a Quick
er Turnover in Live Stock Produc-
ton"
For winning second and third
places, il. G. Schaefer, Calumet coun-
ty, and w. e. Ogilvie, Cook county,
Illinois, receive the Ruth silver and
bronze medals, respectively. Fourth
fifth and eighth places went to G. L.
Weyker, Waukesha county; o. A.
Hanke, Jefferson county, and B. NJ
Reiter, Johnstown, Pa. A student in
Iowa Agricultural college placed first,
receiving the gold medal.
"That the numbers of young beef
young swine and young mutton have
been constantly increasing on the
market is revealed by Is years of live
stock history" young Schaefer writes
Market and Show Glasses Changing.
4;e,+; Ior1r m
of animal industry, cited by him, show
that between 19OO-192O there was an
increase in the percentage of beef,
calves, heifers, cows and bulls, and
a decrease in the percentage Of aged
steers. In fact, aged steers showed a
marked decrease of 34.61 per cent,
while animals one year and under
two showed an increase Of 1876 per
cent.
Tracing the history Of the swine in
dustry over fifty years, Schaefer
found that in 1873 the average live
weight Of hogs packed was 289.5
pounds, compared with $3.50 pounds
for 1922. This he argued shows the
trend toward the production Of a
type of animal Of lighter weight.
According to Schaefer sheep pro-
duction has been running on a more
or less in-and-out basis for the last
few decades. This policy has had a
tendency to induce, speculation rather
than production. "Sheep raising,
however, has come down to a fairly
stable basis, and for the present it is
leaning toward the fat lamb market, "
he says. I'm former years when wool
was the all-important product, large
numbers of wethers were kept, some

Improving Old and
WORKOUT Pastures
Lime and Phosphorus Are
Elements Most Needed.

There is much discussion about the
Improvement OF old and worn-out pas
ture lands. In theory good pasture
gives the cheapest feed that a dairy
man can possibly find II would
mean great saving on hay and grain
If the pasture could be made to double
its yield. 1t seems easy, but the fact
that Improvement is slow In spite of
the evident advantages shows that 1t
is not always practical. The follow
ing note from Professor Eastman of
the New Hampshire college is. to the
point:
Possibly you realize also that our
pasture regeneration problem is
rather big one in the sense that pas
lures are not very valuable per acre,
and that treatments Of lime, seeding,
etc., are likely to be rather expensive.
For instance, perhaps the average pas
ture in New Hampshire can only be
pastured at the rate Of one animal
unit for every five or eight acres of
land. If such pasture Is worth from
SIS to So a season, the rent Is only 81
an acre, and the little that can be done
to improve pasture land so often en-
numbered with rocks and stumps, as
ours is, for this amount Of money, Is
apparent. / realize the other argu-
ment just as keenly as anybody that
pasture takes the place OF much more
expensive feed, but so long as there is
any pasture available 1t is very hard
to get farmers to lay out very much
money on improving the pasture condi-
lions with SO little direct returns"
That idea must be considered when
we come to discussing pasture improve
ment Lime and phosphorus are the
elements generally needed to bring in
more and better grass, and in sections
far from limestone deposits the ex-
pense must be considered.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1925-01-15

being kept until four and five years
of age. Since that time there have
been higher market values for lambs !;
the wethers have been discarded, and
ewes put in their place. Ewes pro-
duce practically the same crop of
wool and in addition a crop of lambs
every year"
Quicker Turnover Necessary.
Because of the growth of the coun-
ty, Schaefer argues that 1t has be-
come necessary for farmers to pro-
duce more food on about the same
area of land; this has resulted in in
creased farmland values. There has
been necessity for better meat ami
mails on our farms.
There has come to be such an in
creased demand for manufactured
commodities that the city is compet-
ing with the farmers for labor; the
result of which is an increase in la
Dor costs for the farmer" he says.
"Public functions have increased to
such an extent that the farmers tax
burden has mounted" He cites Muir
do Mackenzie OF the MatadOr Cattle
company, Texas, as saying: "The
new scale of taxation, if nothing else,
will prevent us from maturing steers.
Our policy hereafter will be to mar
ket the annual increase of the herd
at the yearling stage" The net re-
suit of this entire process, as seen by
the essayist, has been to bring about
better systems Of farming and live
stock breeding.
"The well-known law of diminishing
returns functions in live stock produc-
ton as well as in any other kind. of
production" declares the essayist.
1T is a recognized fact among breed
ers that the relationship between feed
put in and meat taken out of the
young animals is greater than in old
er animals. This was known to the
breed rs as early as 1892. In the

Poultry Hints


Both old and young turkeys should
be protected from dampness.
Cod liver oil has worked wonders
with confined chicks suffering from
deg weakness.
Do not breed from birds of low vital
aty. This causes poor matches, weak
chicks, and Improbable pullets.
The matter of ventilating the poul-
try house is relatively simple, espe-
cially if the open or curtain front Is
used.
Losses from fertile eggs amount to
~ per cent, and from infertile eggs "a
per cent of the total shipped for sale.
Killing diseased chick is not only
a kindness but is good practice from
the standpoint of the health of the en-
tire flock.
More and more does the humble but
ever busy hen show that she is the
real BIRD o. Freedom in America.
More hens can be kept on nearly every
farm.

Crisp, tender lettuce, such as may
readily be produced in greenhouses and

sumner within few hours from the
time it is harvested, Is increasing in
popularity. The crop may be grown

the subject of new bulletin just is
sued by the United States Department
of Agriculture as Farmers Bulletin
1418. The purpose Of the publication
Is to make available to present and
prospective lettuce growers informa-
ton which has been gathered from sue
cessful growers of greenhouse lettuce
and other forcing crops and to bring
together In one publication descriptions
of the best practices In the production
Of the crop
Essentials Tor SUCCESS.
Success in the growing Of green
house lettuce, says the bulletin, de-
ponds on the use of soil well sup
piled with organic matter and avail
able plant food, the control of disease
and insect enemies of the crop, the
use Of varieties and strains adapted
to the needs OF the grower and the
market to be supplied, and the closest
attention to every detail Of the man
agement of the crop.
Satisfactory financial returns can be
secured only when well-grown high
quality crop Is packed in an attractive
manner in containers of suitable size
and placed in the hands of consumers
in the shortest practicable time.
Suitable Structures.
Lettuce is not particular as to the
type Of forcing structure in which 1t
Is grown, and it is produced in many
kinds of greenhouses, but cucumbers
and tomatoes, being very particular
as to their growing conditions, require
greenhouses Of a special type. Owing
" LllC 1dCL that LAC ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
industry usually includes the produc-
ton of several crops, it is necessary
to use structures suited to the require
ments of all crops. Lettuce, cucum-
bers and tomatoes are the crops to
which the most attention is devoted,
and they comprise large proportion
of the annual value of the vegetable
forcing crops grown in the United
States. Naturally the houses must be
made to suit these difficult crops, which
must have a rather high and very uni
form temperature and freedom from
draft, thus necessitating excellent
heating equipment. While such houses
are not absolutely essential to the sue
cessful production of the more hardy
types of lettuce, it Is unquestionably
true that the crop thrives better in
good greenhouses than in very simple
structures. Those proposing to grow
lettuce as their main crop will find
is advantageous to build good type
Of greenhouse.
