Baby Chick season is here. March
and April chicks are preferred over
those Matched in May and June for
three reasons. First, the chicks get
good start before hot weather which
is favorable for poultry diseases, and
causes the chicks to lose vitality;
second, lice and mite are generally
much more numerous later in the
spring than they are early in the
season; third, the early Matched
chicks have better chance to grow
into laying condition in the fall, and
other birds make good broilers.
If you want to make money from
your poultry, start early with healthy
chicks from good stock.

COUNTY AGENTS COLUMN.
J. H. CARTER,
Resident County Agent,
Oakland, Md.

If you are interested in certified
baby chicks and do not have certi-
fled er-hatchery list, you may
obtain one by applying to the County
Agent.
Good seed potatoes are being pro-
duced in Garrett county and the EX-
tension Service is anxious that more
and better seed be brought into the
county.
DR.. R. A. Jehle, specialist in path
ology, University of Maryland, was in
the county March 7, in interest Of
better seed potatoes. He recommend
ed tuber unit stock. The certified
growers were glad to get stock of
such high quality and have already
placed their orders for seed.
If you are interested in good seed
potatoes, visit certified seed growers
while their potatoes are in the field.
If you wish to obtain some local
certified seed, get in touch with Mr..
H. P. Miller OF Mr.. Glen Yoder,
Grantsville. Their prices are low for
good stock.
Baby beef production is increasing
in Maryland. 1t is good project for
All club members.
The fact that no use of pasture is
made may appeal to boys in Garrett
county. If any one is interested, get
in touch with the County Agent.

DR.. c. E. Poe, Government veter-
marian, Hagerstown, visited the

If you are interested in having your
herd tested for tuberculosis, you
might return Immediately your Agri-

Have you tested your seed corn?
A little time to make a termination
test will save time and worry when
your corn comes up, and result in
more bushels per acre at harvest
time.
If you are not familiar with a

test, confer with your County Agent.

addition, the buildings should be
moved each year to locations where
towels were not kept the previous
year. This precaution, plus a change
of litter every five days and daily
disinfection of the food troughs and
drinking fountains, will do much to
prevent losses from diseases and par
asites.
Separation of the cockrels from the
pullets at an early date is advised,
since the former grow rapidly and
have a tendency to monopolize the
feed troughs, drinking fountains and
roosts.
Keeping records is an important
factor in success with poultry, it is
asserted, otherwise the real reasons
for losses are not always observable.

Red Clover Wanes As Popular Crop

Failure of Maryland farmers to
grasp the opportunity to grow high
quality seed for use in the State is
resulting in a steadily waning produc-
ton of red clover, once a favorite
crop of hundreds of good farms thru
out the central sections of the State,
it is said by agronomy specialists at
the University of Maryland.
According to F. G. Holmes, in
charge of the seed laboratory at the
University of Maryland Experiment
Station, the supplies of red clover
seed available at this time are largely
unsatisfactory. There is little home
grown seed in Maryland and, as usual
most of this is very weedy.
Red Glover seed grown in foreign
countries and in western sections of
the United States is not adapted TO
Maryland conditions, it is point
ed out, because of the preva-
lence of anthracnos, disease
to which the clover plant is read
lily susceptible. Red clover grown in
Maryland and in such adjoining
states as Virginia, West Virginia,
Tennessee, Kentucky and southern
Ohio and Indiana, however, will in a
period of years acquire resistance
to the disease that renders the seed
suitable for local conditions. Pro-
duction Of high quality seed in these
sections, however, has apparently
made but little Roadway.
In view of the small quantity and
ordinarily poor quality of adapted
seed and the uncertainty of seed from
other sections, farmers in Maryland
are generally being advised to use a
substitute hay crop composed Of tim
othy, alsike clover and alfalfa. The
recommendation ordinarily calls for a
mixture consisting of about eight
pounds of timothy, four to five pounds
of alsike clover, and six to ten pounds
of alfalfa per acre. Results from this
mixture will be far more satisfactory
than from a poor stand of red clover,
it is said.

COLUMBIA, Mo, December ia
foot ball hero and socially prominent
on two university campuses, Louis Lee
Derry, 25, faces accusations that he
violated statutory laws and the athletic
code that bars professional athletes
from intercollegiate sports.
Two separate groups held hearings on
his alleged sidestepping. From a legal
preliminary hearing, came announce
ment that he was bound over to Circuit
Court for trial on charges of stealing
clothing and jewelry from another stu
dent at the University of, Missouri,
| where he starred on the 1929 varsity.
At the same time G. L. Brewer, direc-
tor of athletics, said he would in
vestigate reports that Derry played pro-
fessional foot ball. Both charges were
| denied by the student.
Reliable but unofficial reports say he
played professional foot ball at Memphis
after he was discharged from a Kansas
reformatory, where he served a term
| for theft at a Kansas university
fraternity house. At that time he was
foot ball star at the University CT

Reports that he also played profess
