Profitable to Dispose
of All TWo-Year-O Odds

After a number of tests for tuber-
culosis In poultry flocks, the Nebraska
state department Of agriculture and
the agricultural college recommended
that poultry, excepting for valuable
breeding stock on poultry farms, be
disposed of at two years of age or
less. The practice will not only help
control the disease, but it will also
help increase the profits of the farm
poultry business. Most hens pass their
most profitable production period dur
ing their second year.
If poultry raisers will follow this
suggestion and then raise their chicks
by artificial means on ground where
chickens have not run to any extent.
avian tuberculosis can be very nearly
stamped out in every state, and the
poultry business can become still more
profitable at the same time. As indi-
vidual hens quit laying for the sea-
son in the spring, they should be dis
posed of Immediately. The practice
will not only save feed, but Il will
clean up the place so the young stock
will have plenty Of room next fall and
winter. Poultry prices also generally
60 down during the summer and the
hens marketed early will bring more
per pound.

Jersey Black Giant Is
Preferred for It's Meat

The market for poultry often dis
eliminates against black fowls, which
has perhaps caused some breeders to
stick to other colors when they in
reality prefer blacks. This has been
one of the greatest Blooms to the Jer-
sey Black Giants. They are black. to
b. sure. but the ideal Giant quill is
white where it enters the skin, and
once dressed there Is none of the dis
agreeable color remaining that hap
pens when other black breeds or va
rieties are dressed. Add to this one
fact the several others such as growth,
heavy weight, vigor and beauty, not
forgetting that the Giant is the largest
of smooth-legged chickens, and the
poultry raiser has bird hard to beat.

Bacterial Canker Is
Danger of Tomatoes
Wise Plan to Avoid Old
Seed Beds.

prepared BY the United states Department
Of Agrieulture.l
Bacterial canker Of tomatoes, which
has been known as "the Grand Rap
Ids disease" from the locality in
Michigan where 1t was first observed
In 1910, has since been reported from
many regions including the Far South
and West. It may appear either In
the fields or In greenhouses and dam
age may range from negligible injury
to such complete destruction Of the
crop as to cause serious economic loss
to growers. Mary K. Bryan, Of the
bureau of plant industry. recommends
thorough Sterilization Of tomato seed
as control method. The disease is
believed to have been scattered also
by the shipment Of young plants
which do not show infection at that
stage of growth.
In Circular No. 20-C, Bacterial.
Canker of Tomatoes" just published
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture. this author gives brief
history of the disease, discusses Its
economic Importance and describes
the appearance OF diseased plants as
distinguished from those affected with
other tomato Wits.
The bacteria which cause the dis
ease enter the fruit through the stem,
without external signs of injury, and
infect the seed. When cut open the
fruit shows yellow discoloration but
no, rot. Sources of infection aside
from the seed, especially seed bed and
plant bed infection, are being stud
led. "From all points of view." the
author remarks. at Is wlsest to avoid
old seed beds, to use only clean, fresh
soil In growing tomato plants. and
to rotate crops where the disease has
occurred"
Tomato growers may procure Cir
cular 20-C by applying to the United
States Department of Agriculture.

Means by Which Potato
Wart Fungus Is Spread

Some of the means by which the p0-
tato wart fungus Is disseminated are
discussed in Technical Bulletin SGT,
Factors Of Spread and Repression In
Potato Wart," new publication just
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The viability Of
the fungus in the soil and under vari-
GUS conditions of artificial storage Is
also discussed. New data are pre-
scented on the resistance of the rest
ing sporangia to moist and dry heat,
and to such fungicides as mercuric
chloride and formaldehyde as used In
seed potato disinfectiOn.
1t is shown that the restrictions or
the growing of any but immune vari-
cites of potatoes within the areas
-Quarantined on account Of wart, and
on the movement of any potatoes
whatsoever out of these areas, have
apparently prevented the disease from
spreading.
AS no resistant varieties Of potatoes
have been found, the continued Gull
ture of potatoes In wart-infested
areas may result in perpetuation of
the wart fungus. However. further
experiments are necessary to deter
mine this and. the period of survival
Of the fungus in the soil under natural
conditions. 8

Sweet Clover Is
Partial to Lime
incubation and Firm Seed
Bed Are Important in
Securing Stand.

tPrepared BY the United states Department
Of ARriculturei
Sweet clover will grow almost any
where, providing there. are more than
II inches Of rain and sufficient lime
In the soil. However, In spite of the
fact that sweet clover Is hardy
plant, It Is not always easy to get
stand.
In new publication just issued by
the United States Department OF Ag-
riculture as I.eafiet 23-L, "Sweei Clov-
err some of the essentials of sweet
clover culture and utilization are dis
cussed by DIR. A. J. Pieters, agron0m.
ist of the bureau of plant industry.
A copy of the leafet may be secured
upon request.
Three Essentials.
Three things are especially impor-
tant in securing stand of sweet
clover. according to Doctor Pieters.
They are lime, incubation and firm
seed bed. 1t may not always be nee
essary to .neutralize an acid soil. but
sweet clover commonly must have
lime If II is TO do well. incubation
of the seed or soil Is advisable where
the crop is TO be grown on land that
has grown neither alfalfa nor sweet
clover before. A firm seed bed Is nee
essary. Many failures have been
shown to be dueSto lack Of rolling or
compacting the soil after plowing.
Sweet clover may be utilized as hay,
pasture. and for soil improvement
purposes. AS a hay crop, however, 1t
is not equal to alfalfa, or red clover.
AS pasture. a good stand of sweet
clover ins@its second season will fur
nish more grazing than any other
plant known. 1t is also an excellent
crop for soil improvement, and for
funately 1t will serve both as pas
ture and a soil improving crop at the
same time. In some sections 1t has
been found that the increased yields
Of sugar beetS due to sweet clover,
were practically the same when the
crop was turned under after being
pastured as when the entirescrop was
turned under.
Value as Soil Builder.
The value of sweet clover as a soil
improver lies in Its ability to take
nitrogen from the air through the
nodues on the roots. to store this in
its thick roots and in the stems and
leaves, and to deliver 1t by rapid de-
cay when II is turned under. Much
II not most of the nitrogen in the top
growth Of the first season moves into
the roots in the fall and is stored
there. The new growth in tile spring
is made from this stored nitrogen, and
in April and early May, as the nitro
gen in the tops increases, that in the
roots decreases. This feature and the
fact that it starts growth very early
make sweet clover an ideal green
manure for corn. 1t Is not necessary
to wait for large spring growth be-
fore turning under; usually there will
be no more nitrogen May Is than
there was April Is, and the field can
| be plowed just as soon as blowing
can he done after few inches of
growth have been made to insure that
the tops will die and not come up in
the corn.

Adding Alfalfa Meal to
Mash Ration Is Favored

The agricultural experiment sta
lions throughout the country have
shown that alfalfa leaves and high
grade alfalfa meal are rich In mineral
and have a relatively high yitamine A
content. The vitamine A content pre-
vents a disease similar to roup and
is conducive to better matches.
The addition of 10 per cent OF al
falfa meal to the mash ration does not
seem to make too much fiber. This
Is especially true If the alfalfa meal
is allowed to replace portion Of the
bran. Second or third cutting alfalfa
hay may be fed to chickens with a
minimum Of waste by placing 1t in
racks that are made Of poultry net
ting.

LETTERS OF THE PEOPLE I

Dear Editor: l have been read
ing with great interest the articles
which have been appearing in the
paper the past few weeks.
heartily agree with every
thing that has been said, in fact
l always believe every thing
hear and tell every thing I know.
Still at the SAME time / do think
that the proper marketing of our
produce is by far the biggest prob
lem that confronts the American
people today whether it be farm
stuff or manufactured articles.
i remember away back in the
dim and distand past when 1 was
a wee bit of kid at home and dad
would put a bushel of corn in one
end of bag and big rock in the
other end to make it balance and
throw the bacg over mules back,
put me astride and send us ten
miles over the mountains to the
mill to have the corn ground into
meal.
While the miller was grinding
the corn I was free to play around
and see what / could find but the
most of my time was spent in GO
ing up and down the creek trying
to find stone of suitable size to
balance the meal on the way
home. It never took as big a rock
to hold the meal going home as it
did to hold the corn going to mar
ket.
Another thing noticed was the
miller always kept pen of hogs,
big sleek fat fellows unlike the
poor skinny half starved ones
had seen at home or ones / passed
on my way down. always knew
the miller kept his hogs fat but
never found out whose corn
made them so.
Now I presume there are those
among your intelligent leaders
who will scott at the idea of bal
,ancing bushel of corn with a
rock instead of putting half the
,orn in each end and thereby |
1alfing the load to he carried. To
