Food habits are governed by the
ideas in the minds of consumers,
and frequently prejudices have
been formed which influenc people
to shun things which are whole
some. When the facts become
known, the habits are easily
changed. DR.. E. N. Hutchinson, of
Seattle, was in the Yakima valley
last week giving talks on nutrition
to the children in the schools. He
explained to the children that milk
was not fattening, but was a
food for every child to
take in his daily menu. This sort
of educationaly work is gradually
putting the dairy business back on
its feet again.

basis under the direction of the ag-
ricultural extension service of the
| University of Delaware. In order to
compare the results of the 1880 cam
paign with the records of the three
previous years i'll Kent county, fig
ures have been compiled by County
Agent Russell e. Wilson following a
summary of the total seed sales as
obtained from the seed reports from
the various dealers and distributors.
The survey Of seed sales last fall
indicated that only 365 bushels of al
falfa seed were distributed in Kent
county last year as compared to 412
bushels in 1929, 440 bushels in 1928,
and 94G bushels i'll 1927, with a four
year average OF 391 bushels per year.
Considering the fact that alfalfa is
soWn at the rate of one bushel to
three acres, the estimated acreage i'll
this county last year was 1895 acres,
as compared to 1895 acres i'll 1929,
1920 acres in 1928, and 1923 acres in
1927, or a faur-year average Of 1172
acres for each year,
The reduction in the alfalfa plant
ings in 1880 was to be expected, how
ever, as the severe dry weather dur
ing the latter part.of the summer in
many sections of this county made it
almost impossible for farmers to pre-
pare their seed beds and to SOW the
seed Although the amount of seed
shows that 1895 acres
were planted last year, it is reason
able to assume that not all Of these

stands of alfalfa. Several outbreaks

MORE ALFALFA FOR KENT
COUNTY .

| Stimulating interest in and Great
ing a desire for more and better al
falfa still remains as one of the ma
or projects in the program of work
for Kent county, and this campaign
will be continued until the alfalfa
acreage has been Increased suffici-
emily to meet the demands for this
hay, since it is has been proven that
no other hay crop can take its place
on the arms in this section of the
United States.
AS there is usually a shortage of
hay in this part of the country, and
since this situation was very pro-
.nounced last year as the result of
the severe drought conditions, pres
ent indications point toward an in
creased demand for hay during the
next several years in view of the ex-
pansion of the dairy industry and
the use of this feed for other kinds
of livestock. In view of these facts,
therefore, it would seem advisable
for those farmers who have fields
that are suitable for growing alfalfa
to plan to SOW a few acres this COM
ing summer. The recommended time
for seeding alfalfa in this section is
during the last two weeks in August,
and the usual rate of seeding is 20
pounds to the acre, although some
farmers prefer to Use a few extra
pounds on land that is i'll a high
state of fertility.
The spread Of influence resulting
from this alfalfa project in Kent
county has been carefully checked
each year by means of a survey OF
the total amount Of seed sales, and
some very interesting information
has been obtained during the past
four years, or since 1927 when this

Furthermore, some interesting eX-
perimental work that has been
conducted in England, seems to have
demonstrated thatrthe period of use
fulness of a dairy COW is somewhat
prolonged by limited feeding of
rOughage.
The feeder, however, should keep
in mind the physical effect of the
roughage upon the animals system
Ii dry roughages are fed that are
inclined to be similar to straw or
timothy hay and not laxative in
their effect upon the digestive tract
of the animal the grain ration
should be adjusted accordingly.
Where silage is being fed, how
ever, normally no adjustment is
necessary, due to the fact that the
silage is normally sufficiently laxa-
tive to keep the animals in good
condition.
1t is more important, however,
that dairymen check zip carefully
on their herds and see that they
come into winter conditions in good
flesh. The hot summers ana dry pas
lures have had a tendency to lover
the reserve of the average dairy
cow in a great many sections.
If these COWS go into winter quar-
ters in a lowered condition, il is
going to require more feed to MAIN
tain them ond obtain the milk pro-
duction which is essential for max

Farm Notes

Many farmers cut brush in sum.
mer or early fall because they think
it is not likely to sprout again if cut
at these times, but it is just as ef-
fective to cut it in winter, says the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
There will always be some second
and even third growth regardless ol
when it is cut.
Wood and felt weather stripping
properly applied helps materially to
keep out cold air. Apply it on the
outside at the opening between the
window sash and frame for the
upper sash, or, better, on the in
side for the lower sash. The felt
should be close enough to windows
or doors so that effort is necessary
to move the window sash or to lock
the doors. Wood and felt stripping
at the bottom of doors reduces
drafts along the floor. Strip felting
may also be used like wood and felt
stripping.
If your roses need protection dur
ing the winter, draw the soil up
around the plants to height of 10
inches or more. If roses have not
been pruned for more than Il year, it
is well to do some now when the
leaves are off. Take out old wood,
then begin at the outer end of the
branches of the young wood, grad
ually working toward the root. A
mulch of manure or leaves between
the mounds is desirable for tender
roses in winter. Put on the mulch
as soon as practicable after the
ground freezes. If there are signs OF
scale insects on the plants, spray
them with lime-sulphur when the
thermometer is we'll above freezing
soon after freezing weather has
checked growth and the plants are
dormant.
II is better to winter coniferous
seedlings by protecting them in the
beds than by lifting and storing
them, say hOrticulturists of the U
S. Department of Agriculture. In
late fall, mulch the beds lightly
with pine needles, leaves, or similar
that is free from weed
seeds to guard against lifting or
heaving of the roots by freezing and |
thawing. Protect the seedlings from
rabbits and mice during the winter.
Early spring is usually the best |
time for transplanting. Some kinds
Of seedlings may be large enough i
from 3 to inches-tO transplant the
first season, but slow-grOwing spe-
cies such as spruce and pine may
require two or more years in the /
seedbed. -..
