Care for Ounce

The ounce naturally grows In
dwarfish or bush form. However, if
plants are too thick there is no objec-
ton to cutting off part of the old
shoots near the ground and lightly
cutting back the inside growing
branches of the ones that remain.
This will materially reduce the amount
Of wood and assist in rejuvenating
the plants. A light application of
nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia
would also be helpful but one must
guard against fire blight which is more
troublesome on rapidly growing plants.

He wasn't really so very huge. But

"Oh, oh, hurry, scurry, run, run"

They ran down to a big barn that

will have the characteristic white
color of tin on a filed surface, 1t will
be soft and easily bent, and 1t will
"crackle" on rapid bending. This "tin
cry" is due to the motion of the large
tin crystals. The melting point of
pure tin is about 232 degrees cent?

of checking the purity.

Keep on Spraying

The fruit growers must not falter In
their spray application if midsummer
and fall are to bring in abundant
crops of high quality fruit. If the mid
summer applications are neglected,
much of the benefits which should
have been derived from early sprays
will be lost and the pests will gain
foothold that will make them more
difficult to control. Persistence as
well as thoroughness Is requisite In
good spraying.

Cleanliness and
Feed for Calves
Two Important Points in
Successful Raising of
Dairy Animals.
prepared by the United States Department

prepared by the United States Department
ct Agriculture.l
Cleanliness and proper feeding are
absolutely essential In the successful
raising of the dairy calf, says j. b.
Shepherd, associate dairy husband
man of the United States Department
of Agriculture, In Leaflet No. 20-L,
care of the Dairy Calf" just issued
by the department. Many small dis
turbances of the calls stomach and
digestive system which hinder growth
and development are caused by IN
clean pens, bedding, feed pals and
feed. Proper care exercised in keep
ing the Rens clean and well supplied
with dry bedding, in washing and
scalding the pals after each feeding,
and in removing discarded feed from
the feed boxes each day will aid ma
terially in giving the calf good start.
Whole Milk for Calf.
During the first two weeks the calf
should have whole milk, preferably
from its mother. Six to nine pounds
OF milk daily for the first week, d.
vided equally into three feelings, is
sufficient for the average-siZe calf.
This amount may be increased by
three pounds day during the second
week if the calf is doing well.
A few calves are raised on whole
milk, but 1t is usually too valuable
to feed. Calves do nearly as well on
skim milk, and most calves are raised
on this feed. If fresh skim milk is
not available, dried or powdered skim
milk may be fed instead, or the calf
may be raised on so-called calf-meal
gruels. Although calf-meal gruels are
not quite so satisfactory as skim milk,
fairly good results will be obtained by
proper feeding.
Beltsville Calf Meal.
A good meal devised by the bureau
Of dairy industry and known as the
Beltsville calf meal consists of 80
parts, by weight, of finely ground corn,
15 parts linseed meal, 10 parts finely
ground rolled oats, 10 parts dry skim
milk, and ene-half part salt.
To prepare it for feeding, mix to a
smooth consistency with an equal
weight of cold water. Then add
pounds of warm or boiling water for
each pound of dry calf meal used. Stir
thoroughly until we'll mixed and allow
to stand for several hours. Warm to
100 degrees Fahrenheit before feed
ing. Mix only enough at one time for
one or two feelings.
Theebest results from feeding calf
meal cruel are obtained by substi-
tuting it very gradually for whole
milk after the calf Is four weeks DID,
taking at least four weeks to COM
plete the change from milk to cruel.
Other factors essential to success
in raising the dairy calf during the
first six months of life are discussed

FORECASTING SERVICE
BOON TO BEET GROWER

Walter Carter, a young entomologist
born In England and trained at the
Minnesota and Montana State Agri-
cultural colleges, has developed a
forecasting service which in two sea-
sons has saved the sugar beet grow
ers of the Twin Falls, Idaho, area
many millions of dollars. This is to
be regarded the more remarkable
from the fact that scientists are usu-
ally loath to give out predictions and
opinions in an official capacity.
The sugar beet leaf hopper has de-
stroyed the sugar making industry in
Washington, Oregon, and parts of Cal
ifornia. Hoppers that beset the Twin
Falls fields live through the winter
and breed in the deserts of southern
Idaho. When the wild plants on
which they live dry up in the deserts
heat they migrate to the cultivated
areas.
For two years now Mr.. Carter, who
is in charge of a federal experiment
station at Twin Falls, has made a
study of the hopper in its desert hab-
itat. In 1927 he found that severe
winter weather had given the bug
population a hard blow. Survivors
were scarce. Followed late in Febru-
airy of last year his prediction that a
good year was in store for the beet
producers. Largely on the basis of
his forecast a big acreage was con-
tracted. The season proved to be
/ one of the best, and the growers and
the factory operators as well cleaned
up
In February of this year, after visit
ing the desert lands, Mr.. Carter adj
vised the beet growers that bad
year was in prospect. He found that
myriads of the insects had passed the
winter in good shape and were feed
ing on their host plants. The beet
producers aud factory operators took
his word for it and cut the acreage to
the bone. Just the other day Mr.. Car
ter, who is completing work at Uni
versity Farm for a Ph.D. degree, re-
ceived word that the hopper had
ruined what beets had been grown and
that the fields were being plowed up.
The hopper gives the beet plant a
disease just as the malarial mosquito
carries disease to mankind. The
plant turns yellow and curls up. All
growth is stopped. In ten days or
two weeks the fields are ruined.
Spraying or busting a diseased field
has no effect. Development of a dis
ease resistant beet is regarded as the
only solution of the leaf hopper prob
lem.
