THE HTRRICANE SEASON

The news from Vera Cruz, added swiftly to that
from Florida together with Floridas second scare is
rather terrifying. Where will this end?
1t is comfort to learn that hurricanes have their
regular seasons just northern do, and that
the is just about The height OF the sea-
son. writes an expert in the Boston Transcript is reach
ed dnurng August and the first part of September
Over "a per of the hurricanes period of
81 years found to have within this six week
period When tropical disturbance starts in June,
the chances three and half to nine that it will
grow up into real life size hurricane The chances
until the first half of September, when they
are six and one half in nine Then they decrease until
November when they down to one in nine.
Even one in nine sounds like many to the peo
pie who have just been through the experience But
only few of the hurricanes, all in ALL strike land And
September is gone, taking with it the most serious
danger.

Gypsum Considered as a
Direct Soil Fertilizer

Gypsum, according to Iowa tests.
does not have the ability to neutral
lie acid soils even though it does con-
tain calcium the same as limestone.
It has no alkalinity, and, therefore,
cannot take the place of limestone.
On the other hand. gypsum does not
have any injurious effect on the soil,
as is sometimes believed, the Iowa
station says. Gypsum should be con-
sidered as a direct fertilizer, as it
supplies calcium and sulphur to
plants. It also has some value in
certain soils as an indirect fertilizer.
for laboratory experiments have
shown that it has the property of
making native potassium available to
plants, and hence, might, in some
cases, take the place of expensive po-
tassium fertilizers. The bulletin COW
ering this work may be had by writ
ing for No. 232, bulletin section. Iowa

Sowing Scariied Sweet
Clover Seed in Pasture

Sweet clover may be sown in an old
pasture by sowing scarified seed dur
ing the early spring, and covering the
seed with disk or harrow, or by al
lowing the stock to trample the seed
in. 1t can also be seeded by sowing
the unscarified seed during the late
fall months, or even during the winter
when the ground is not covered with
snow. It should be kept in mind that
sweet clover is quite sensitive to acid
soils, and that when seeding in an old
pasture the young sweet clover plants
must compete with the sod that has
already become established. Better
stands are usually secured when the
ground is plowed and the sweet clover
seeded with a small grain crop.

Consider Drilled Corn
to Be Better for Silo

Except on weedy land, drilled corn
seems to be rather better for silage
than checked corn, the chief advarl-
tage being that it cuts little easier
with a corn binder If the ground is
weedy, it may be that the weeds can
be kept down fairly well in the drilled
corn by the use of furrow opener on
the corn planter followed by rotary
hoe or harrow at frequent intervals
while the corn is young.
Twenty years Of experimenting at
the Ohio station indicate that on rich
land the most food value per. acre with
corn for silage can be obtained when
five kernels are planted per hill in
hills three feet six inches apart each
way, or when the corn is drilled in
with a kernel dropped every eight
inches. OF course, thick planting Of
this sort makes lots Of nubbins, but
FIVE pounds of nubbins have just as
much food value as five pounds Of big
ears when they are put into the silo.
At any rate, the Ohio experiments in
dictate that on rich land the greatest
net food value per acre for silage or
corn fodder can be obtained by de-
cidedly thick planting.

Flowing Corn Land for
Grain in Early Spring

It generally pays to pillow corn land
for grain. particularly If one can get
blowing done in the fall. Spring
.plowing is about as good if one can
put work enough on 1t to work the
soil down into a good seed bed. One
serious objection to spring blowing is
that it delays seeding and generally
early sowing is better for grain crops.
For this reason disking corn land
for grain is recommended rather than
blowing and late sowing. BY double
disking and then sowing with disk
drill one can put in crop of grain
on corn land in pretty good shape.
Where one can pillow and double disk
and still sow early it is best to do so.

Weather Bulletins Help
Many Nebraska Farmers

A wholesale dealer in fruits and
vegetables in Omaha, Neb., recently
wrote to the weather bureau of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, saying that the frost fore
casts received during an unreasonable
fall freeze had enabled the fruit and
vegetable trade as whole to prevent
an enormous loss. Not only did the
weather bulletins and warnings save
shippers and receivers Of perishable
freight large sums by giving them
an opportunity to withhold shipments
or protect those en- route. but they
accomplished the important service of
maintaining reasonable level of
prices for these commodities, because
any widespread loss by the producers
must be offset by corresponding in
crease in price.

Illinois Farmers Favor
Limestone to Help Soil

More than three-fourths Of a mil
lion tons of agricultural limestone
have been applied on over 100000
acres of Illinois land by farmers of
this state in 1926, according to an
estimated report Of the Illinois Agri-
cultural association.
This 10000 tonnage of limestone,
which if loaded on single train of
freight cars would extend 1913 miles,
breaks all records for use in any one
state in the United States during the
past year. 1t exceeds by so per cent,
or 25O,O0O tons, the Illinois record
of 1924, which was also greater than
any other state in the country. Hi
nois farmers, according to govern
ment statistics in 1924, used more
than one-fourth of all agricultural
limestone spread on farm lands in
the United States.

Treated Seed Will
Increase Potatoes
Extensive Tests Conducted
on Kansas Farms.

An average increase of 40 bushels
Of potatoes per acre was obtained by
seed-potato treatment during the past
five years, extensive tests conducted
on total of about 200 plots on the
farms of Kansas growers indicate.
In some instances the increase in
yield was not more than 10 or IL
bushels per acre, while in other cases
1t ran as high as 1876 bushels per acre.
Not only was the yield of potatoes in
creased. but the quality also was
raised.
Growers are now using one Of two
disease control methods, either the
cold corrosive sublimate, or the hot
formaldehyde. For the small grower
the cold corrosive sublimate is prob
ably the best because with it potatoes
can be quickly and conveniently
treated.
Corrosive sublimate can be secured
from almost any drug store in pow
dered form. 1t is dissolved at the
rate of one ounce in eight gallons of
water. The powder is dissolved first
in jar of hot water and then poured
into eight gallons of water. Whole,
uncut, potatoes are then allowed to
soak in this solution for one and one
half hours, after which they are dried,
cut and planted. This treatment will
kill most of the troublesome diseases
that are carried on the seed. 1t has
been satisfactory to those growers
who only have small patch to plant.
Formaldehyde is used at the rate
Of one pint to is gallons of water.
The solution is then heated to 124 to
1875 degrees Fahrenheit. The potatoes
are dumped into the solution and al
lowed to remain there for three min
utes. -

Breeders Try to
Improve Flocks
More Interest Developed in
Production of High Egg
Laying Strains.
tPreparsd BY tn. United states Department

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
For many years the efforts Of poul-
try breeders to improve their docks
were confined largely to breeding for
the type and color demanded by the
standard Of Perfection" and little
attention was paid to developing high
egg production. In the last few years,
however, more interest has developed
in the production Of high egg-laying
strains.
Production and Quality.
To show that high egg production
and good standard quality can be COM
bined to a high degree in chickens,
and to encourage breeding along these
lines, was the purpose of the exhibit
displayed by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture at the Mad
ison Square garden poultry show held
in New York city few weeks ago.
The male birds of the departments
exhibit were all of excellent standard
quality and were bred from hens which
had laid from 200 to 300 eggs in their
pullet year. Most of them had ped
lgree which included several genera
tons of producers of 200 eggs or more.
The exhibit included male birds Of the
Barred Plymouth Rock breed, the
Rhode Island Red breed, and the
White Leghorn, breed, demonstrating
that high egg production is not con-
fined to the White Leghorns.
Breeding for Eggs.
Breeding fowls for high-egg produc-
ton was given great stimulus by
the Inauguration of egg-laying con-
tests in this country about Is years
ago. These contests are now being
held in every section of the country.
A number Of hens entered in these
official contests have laid more than
BOO eggs in one year. The highest
producing hens are now coming from
flocks which have been pedigree bred
for egg production for a period OF
years. A large per cent Of the hens
entered in these contests are White
Leghorns, but just as large egg rec
ords have been made by other popular
breeds, such as Plymouth Rock, Rhode
Island Red, and Wyandotte.

Ancient Manuscript

The earliest specimen of illuminated
manuscript known to us was the
"Codex Argenteus." 1t was an ex-
tremely beautiful quarto volume, with
leaves Of vellum stained rich violet
color, and the chirography done in
silver.
When 1t was discovered in the Bene-
dictine abbey of sswerden about 1917
it was claimed to'be the only specimen
extant of the ancient tongue from
which our language is descended. 1t
came into the possession of Queen
Christina Of Sweden, who had it re-
produced, and then passed to Gabriel
de la Gardie, who bought it and pre-
sented it to the University of Upsal.

Fa.r!'n!EImtr4.

A load of lime makes good ballast
on the trip home from town.
The biggest profits in farming go to
the man who watches the so-called
little things.
When planting seed potatoes be sure
that it is good seed, free from diseases
that will ruin crop and profit.
The bee keeper who made the right
provisions for his apiary last fall
needs to give slight thought to them
this spring.
The European corn borer spends
about II months out of the year as
a caterpillar in the green and dried
stocks of corn.
Heifers that are due to freshen in
the spring should be worked with a
little. so that they will be used to hav-
ing their udders handled.
Farm wages will probably be just as
high this year as they have been the
past two seasons, and especially will
this be true of the eight-month man.

General expansion in agricultural
production this year might place farm
ers in less favorable economic posi-
ton than at present, believe many ag-
ricultural economists.

Good Story, Anyl,ow

By sudden flood fox, two hares
and seven rabbits were marooned, so
the STORY runs, on a little island in
the River Wehr, in Germany. AL
though there was scarcely room for
the ten animals to turn around, the
fox made no attempt to kill and eat
rabbit or hare. For three days and
nights the animals kept their truce.
On the fourth day the peasants who
had been watching the strange group
of animals showed off boat and res
cued the rabbits and hares, but the
fox preferred death to capture.
Whether true or not, it is a good
story.-Brooklyn Citizen.

TF YOU own Chevrolet, a Pontiac, an
Oldsmobile, an Oakland, Buick or
n Cadillac, youow General Motors car.
"But what" you may ask, "does that
mean to mel" 1t means just this:
General Motors is family of companies
building motor cars and trucks and such
other famous automotive products as Fisher
Bodies, Delco and Remy electrical systems,
Harrison radiators andAC spark plugs. Still
other General Motors products are Delco-
Light electric power plants and Frigidaire
electric refrigerators. There are General
Motors plants in ~ cities, employing
10000 people; and sales and service
organizations in IA countries.
General Motors uses the combined
resources of this great family for the benefit
of each member. 1t effects great savings inthe
purchase of quality materials; it provides the
best of engineering talent; it maintains the
worlds largest research laboratories and
proving ground for automobiles; and it
assures the permanence of its various divi-
sions and the products which they make.
In other words, General Motors has every
facility and every incentive to maintain
quality and to offer value for the price; and
the current models Of General Motors cars
are offered as the greatest values in the his.
tory of the automobile industry.
