Small Flock of Sheep
Found to Be Profitable

The live stock requirements of no
corn belt farm are complete without
at least small flock of sheep, pref
erably breeding ewes. There is no
other animal farmer can own that
will make use of as much feed that
would otherwise 60 to waste, and no
hired man who will NOW weeds as
cheerfully or as thoroughly as will the
sheep. A great many farmers COM
plain that their fences are not ar
ranged for handling sheep, but in
the main this excuse Is largely i'm
iaginary. OF course in order to handle
a large flock it is necessary to have
good sized pastures, but for the ave-
rage farmer who operates from 80
to 100 acres, the keeping of from 10
to Is ewes requires nothing more than
the ordinary barn lots, door-yard and
orchard fences. Barring a mighty
keen appetite for rose bushes and
other shrubbery about the yard, sheep
make by far the most profitable and
consistent lawn mower Imaginable
for yards either large or small. Shrub
cry of course may be protected by
wire netting drawn about it, or by
movable frames which may be shifted
into position when 1t is desired to
"mow" the lawn. The flock may be
moved about the place from day to
day as desired, and all lots may be
cleaned up of ncxious weeds that
other stock will not eat. When the
potato vines begin to die down the
flock may be turned into the patch
to clean up the careless weed and fox
tail which nearly always spring up
after cultivation ceases, thus doing
away with the necessity of having to
NOW and rake the patch before dig
ging the spuds.

Blighted Trees Should
Be Treated in Winter

Blight is bacterial disease caused
by a bacterium growing in the inner
bark. It girdles the twigs so that the
top has to die and the leaves appear
as though scorched with fire. The
only remedy is to keep the tree as
thrifty as possible but not growing too
fast. 1t is customary to SOW oats or
barley between the trees in June so
as to assist in ripening the apple wood
in the fall. This checks the growth
Of the blight Some varieties of ap-
Piles blight more than others.
In the winter time all blighted wood
should be cut off and burned and then
the trees looked over for cankers.
These are places along the trunk and
larger limbs where the disease is
working. From these places the germs
come out next spring to spread to
other trees. These may be cut out
and sterilized with corrosive sublimate
or formaldehyde.

Big Machinery Saves
Much Manual Labor
Comparison Is Made From
Records in Nebraska.

One of the best reasons why big
teams and big machinery are popular
is given in the annual report of the
farm records that were kept last year
under the direction of the Nebraska
Agricultural college. Two farms in
Dodge county are compared to show
that one man made $5.32 profit per
acre from his corn while another man.
even though he got higher yield,
made only 1921 per acre.
The first man used fOur-horse teams
and two row implements, while the
second planted and cultivated his corn
with two-horse teams and one row
machinery. The first man had 100
acres in corn, the second only 40. The
first got so bushels per acre yield
while the second got 60 bushels, but
the first spent only six hours of his
own labor and 25 hours of horse labor
per acre while the second man spent
II hours of man labor and 3S hours
of horse labor, per acre.
In making this comparison, the agri-
cultural college men, Mason Yerkes,
and A. w. Medlar, who had charge Of
the farm records work, made it clear
that the comparison of how two farm
ers raise corn may not be complete
comparison Of their entire farms
profits. but that so far as the corn
crop was concerned the man with the
bigger teams is actually making about
five times as much net profit in the
year. He had 100 acres averaging
1892 profit per acre, or $532. The
other man worked on 40 acres and
made but 1921 per acre, a total of
$3.50.

Treat Potatoes
/ Before Planting
Solution of Corrosive Subli-
mate or Formaldehyde
Is Effective.

Experiments have shown that pOta-
toes can be treated for disease control
in the winter while they are dormant
with no delay in termination in the
spring, according to G. L. Graves,
plant pathologist at the Kansas Agri-
cultural college. Graves. therefore.
recommends that seed potatoes be
treated as soon as practical.
There have been developed in the
past few years two standard treat
ments for the control of seed borne
diseases of the potato. Both are equal
ly efficient in disease control. They
are the corrosive sublimate treatment,
and the hot formaldehyde treatment.
Corrosive Sublimate Treatment.
Prepare solution for the corrosive
sublimate treatment by mixing thor
eughly four ounces of corrosive subli-
mate in 80 gallons of water. Cor
rosive sublimate is deadly poison and
must be kept. away from children and
animals. 1t will not injure the hands
The sublimate solution will corrOde
metals. Therefore, barrels, wooden
tubs, or concrete watts should contain
the treatment. Potatoes should not
be cut before they are treated. Best
results are obtained when they are
left In the solution for one and one
half hours, according to the plant
pathologist.
The solution should not be used for
more then three patches of potatoes,
unless the solution is strengthened
each time. Corrosive sublimate should
be added at the rate of one-half to
five-eighths Of an ounce to each 30
gallons of water after each treatment.
Hot FormaIdehyde Treatment.
For the hot formaldehyde treatment
mix two pints Of full-strength formal
dehyde in 80 gallons Of water. Un-
like the corrosive sublimate treatment,
this solution does not weaken with
use, and no addition of formaldehyde
need be added after treatment to
maintain the original strength. For
maldehyde is also a deadly poison.
The solution quickly dries from the
surface Of the tubers and the treated
seed is not poisonous.
The hot formaldehyde treatment re-
Quires from three to four minutes in
a heated solution 124 to 126 degrees F.
Care should be taken that the tubers
do not come in contact with the sides
and bottom Of the treating vat, says
Professor Graves.

DR.. Frederick H. Knubel, president
of the United Lutheran Church in
America. who presented his biennial
report to the convention of that
body at the Luther Memorial
Church here.
Belief that the churches of Amer
lea are undergoing a very definite
process of change was expressed by
DR.. Knubel, who was reelected
president today.
The past tendency, he said, has
been toward developing their own
membership through evangelistic
efforts and educating their youth
in church institutions. but
the present trend is toward unSelfish
works of mercy in which the Chris
tan takes thought first of all Of
MS fellow beings.
From the United States, Canada
and India have come $50 accredited
delegates, both clergymen and lay
men, to represent the 100000
members of the church.
The convention will last a little
more than a week and will adopt
legislation governing policies for
the forthcoming period.

Gambling and Booze SWoop
Made by Police.

BIZ United Press
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct 10
Federal agents and Texas rangers
took steps today to curb gambling
and the flow OF liquor here during
the American Legion convention.
The city has been wide open to
legionnaireS until four rangers
threw scare into gambling when
they raided the st. Anthony Hotel
and closed the gambling room which
had been doing a fourishing bust
ness.
All paraphernalia was seized. The
raid came, however, just few min
utes after professional gamblers had
ceased operation and departed.
Police sought them upon complaint
of Ernest Walsh, New York City
delegate to the convention, who said
he was cheated out of 5000 in a
hotel dice game.
Fede4A agents arrested seventeen
men and seized a hundred barrels
of liquor in raids in an effort to
curb the large flow coming into the
city. Among those arrested was AL
fred Street, son of the late chief of
detectives, Sam Street, and until a
week ago a motorcycle policeman.
He was charged with violating the
Federal prohibition laws.
