Wise Plan to Avoid Old
Seed Beds.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Bacterial canker of tomatoes, which
has been known as ''the Grand Rap
ids disease" from the locality in
Michigan where it was first observed
in 1910, has since been reported from
many regions including the Far South
and West 1t 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. 29-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 willis.
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, sit is wisest to avoid
old seed beds, to use only clean, fresh

incubation and Firm Seed
Bed Are Important in
Securing Stand.
Prepared by the United States Department
of APriculturel

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
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 a
stand.
In new publication just issued by
the United States Department OF Ag-
riculture as Leaflet 23-L, Sweet Glow

clover culture and utilization are dis
cussed by DR.. A. j. Peters, agronom-
list of the bureau of plant industry.
copy of the leafiet may be secured
upon request
Three Essentials.
Three things are especially impor-
tant in securing a stand of sweet
clover, according to Doctor Peters.
They are lime, incubation and a firm
seed bed. 1t may not always be nee
essary to neutralize an acid soil. but
sweet clover commonly must have
lime If it 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 due to lack of rolling or
eOmpacting the soil after blowing.
Sweet clover may be utilized as hay,
pasture, and for soil Improvement
purposes. AS hay crop, however, it
is not equal to alfalfa or red clover
AS pasture, good stand of sweet
clover in its second season will fur
nish more grazing than any other
plant known. 1t is also an excellent
crop for soil Improvement, and for
tunately it will serve both as a pas
ture and soil improving crop at the
same time. In some sections it 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 entire crop was
turned under.
Value as Soil Builder.
The value of sweet clover as a soil
lmprover lies in its ability to take
nitrogen from the air through the
nOdules on the roots, to store this in
its thick roots and in the stems and
leaves, and to deliver it by rapid de-
cay when it is turned under. Much,
If 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 the 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

Chickens Rapidly "Picked"

Machine-picked chickens may be the
next innovation in the market if ma
chine from England is widely adopted.
By this machine the feathers are
plucked by suction, pin feathers and
all, at the rate of bird minute. The
feathers are drawn into fan-shaped
contraption and stuffed dry into bag.
The fan makes 500 revolutions a min
ute, sufficient to strip an ordinary
fryer. 1t takes about 700 WRITINGS to
pick an old rooster or hen past its
laying prime.

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 boons 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.

Adding Alfalfa Meal to
Mash Ration Is Favored

The agricultural experiment sta
tons throughout the country have
shown that alfalfa leaves and high
grade alfalfa meal are rich in mineral
and have a relatively high vitamine 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
minimum of waste by placing 1t In
racks that are made of poultry net
ting.
