WHY THE LEAVES FALL

J. R. Magness, psychologist in the
U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry, has
prepare the following statement for
the Pathfinder relative to the cause
of the falling of leaves from trees:
"Under the climate conditions pre-
vailing in the middle and northern
latitudes of the United States it is
possible that frost is the chief factor
in determining the exact time of leaf
fall. If the autumn months remain
warm the trees do not shed theih
leaves until very much later than
they do at the present time. Most
trees, however, have a distinct rest
period, even in tropical climates.
These periods consist primarily of a
time when no growth occurs, follow
ed by period Of growth. With our
deciduous trees various things may
cause leaf fall. Severe droWth will
sometimes have this result. 1t is
also possible that the accumulation
of materials in the leaf, such as salts
that are carried from the soil into
the leaves are deposited and may be
in part responsible for leaf fall
Cold weather and frosts seem to be
the most important factors"

FARM RECORD CLUB In MAY
SHOWED GOOD EGG YIELD
continued from first pagel

10 pounds of wheat bran, 80 pounds
of yellow cornmeal, and 20 pounds
of ground barley, or oat meal. For
men are mixing the 40 pounds of the
dried skim milk to go pounds of
their regular growing mash, and
while the dried skim milk is recon-
mended, several of the poultry rails
ers have used the dried buttermilk
with good results.
This milk ration should be kept in
hoppers before the young chicks for
ten days or two weeks, and only a
small amount of grain should be fed
once day, or none at all. If grain
is fed, it should be added to the eve
ming meal only, and care must be
taken to allow the chicks free ac-
cess to plenty of fresh drinking wa
ter during this treatment. 1t is also
advisable to keep them well supplied
with green food in addition to this
milk ration.
Keeping the chicks in the house
while they are being treated will aid
greatly in preventing coccidiosis
from communicating the soil or
spreading to other chicks on the
farm. This milk treatment will cause
the bowels to become very loose, re-
quiring that the house be cleaned al
most every day and fresh sand or
dirt should be scattered over the
floor to absorb the moisture. The
cleanings from the house should be
hauled to a part of the farm where
chicks will never be reared, and af-
ter the treatment is completed, the
ground around the house should be
plowed and lined heavily as pre-
cautionary measure against this dis
ease becoming established again In
the yard. The house must also be
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
The fact that coccidiosis may be
carried on the feet of those who are
taking care of the chicks has been
demonstrated on several poultry
farms this season where apparently
every precaution has been taken to
keep the houses)and yards clean and
disinfected. Some of the poultrymen
who have known that their yards
were contaminated with the germs
of this disease, have kept their
chicks constantly confined to the
houses, and in spite of this preVen-
tative measure, their young chicks IN
several instances, contracted this
trouble which resulted in heavy loss
es, showing that these germs may be
carried from one place to another in
this manner.

that there is no flower so completely
woven into the history of the human
race as is the rose. 1t is fitting that
the rose should be the universal
flower. For it is one of the few
blossoms that, like true love itself,
preserves its fragrance beyond its
mortal life and never knows corrup-
ton. If it's blooming time is fleeting,
so much the more is it precious.
