FELLOWS SYRUP
Outlines Six Steps
for Land Use Plan

Much lower prices for what he
sells, higher prices for what he buys,
and higher taxes-these are the up
per and neither milstOnes which are
slowly grinding the life out of rural
America" said Prof. NJ L. Wilson of
Montana State College in a radio
address, over an NBC network in the
program of the National Advisory
Council on Radio in Education. "For-
tunately, there is a way out" Will
son stated, 'but the way demands a
reversal of the basic land policy of
the nation"
The speaker presented six steps in
a program for land utilization.
First in the list of six fundamen-
tails suggested by Professor Wilson
is the repeal of the Homestead Act
and the enactment of new national
land policy bill which, he pointed
out, is essential because there is no
more land in the public domain suit
able for farming and home building
CNNOiiblN. N6lNll SldtC ShOulu NldS-
sify its lands, develop a statewide
land use plan and institute a pro-
gram of action" Professor Wilson
advised. The third step is that poor
land. as determined by land utiliza-
ton studies, should be taken out of
production.
Additional steps in the plan pre-
selted by Professor Wilson include
the modification of land taxes and
reorganization of local government !;
the withdrawal of poor lands from
production to solve the surplus prob
lem. Suggesting how this might be
carried out. he explained the DO
nestle Allotment Plan" which calls
for the issuance of certain allotments
to farmers to grow the kinds of
crops they have been growing, the
farmer to receive tariff protection on
the allotted acres. Finally, Wilson
recommended part time farming and
the decentralization of industry.
To prevent men who are farming
unsuitable land from joining the
ranks of the unemployed, Professor
Wilson stated that industry must
adopt a new policy coupling industry
with small farm agriculture. Small
farms, located near industrial plants,
he said, would not produce the great
food staples of which there is sur
plus.

Losses Sure When the
Chicks Are Overcrowded

Crowding always results in
enormous losses and occurs just
prior to the chicks taking TO the
roust. 1t may be discouraged by
maintaining heat but eventually tn"
chicks will take to the corners. II
might be ideal but impractical to
construct a round brooder house,
but one can eliminate the corners in
a house with square corners. a
scheme of this kind consists Of in
clined wire netting frames about ,
feet wide placed in the back and
sides Of the house. The inner edge
Is next to the floor while the outer
is elevated about foot from the
floor. Ii is. of course. necessary that
these frames fit tight so that IL Is
impossible for chicks TO get under
meath. With this arrangement as
the chicks crowd out they are ele-
waited and there is no danger of the
chicks being suffocated. Usually
small roosts are nailed on the up
per side of the frame, and ii Is only
a short time until the chicks are
roosting. The old idea was that roo
early roOsting caused crooked
breast bones, but that idea has been
exploded so that now the advice is
TO get the chicks roosting as soon
as possible.-Missouri Farmer.

Estimating Oil Need

Five hundred chicks kept in con-
finement for the first four weeks
will eat about 200 pounds Of mash
and will need four pounds or two
quarts of cod-liver oil. The same
number of chicks will consume close
to $50 pounds of mash the first eight
weeks, and, if confined, will need
two and one-eighth gallons of cod
liver oil. From this, one can esti-
mate the amount of oil that will be
needed and can make the purchase
and have it ready when the chicks
are hatched. Cod-liyer oil may be
secured from the local druggist, or
the county agent or farm demonstra-
ton flock co-operators in the coun
~ can supply the names of com
panies that sell the cOd-liver oil.

Use Judgment in Mating

II is poor policy to mate up any
fowls, least of all male birds, that
have previously shown any signs of
disease or weakness. IL is unwise
to mate up undersized females to
oversized coarse males, or vice
versa.
The mating seldom "nicks." and il
is almost impossible t6 secure me
dium sized, normal healthy progeny.
Born poultry breeders know by in
tuition just how many males GER
tain flock of females will need to
get best results.
AS a general rule, in flock mat
ings, not more than eight or ten
lightweight males are required TO
100 females. With heavyweight va
rieties. ten males are about right.
providing there is little fighting
among males. Otherwise it were
best to make smaller flock matings
The Coolidge examiner., 1932-06-03
Potato Notes

Plant only good seed. using one
ounce pieces dropped approximately
II inches apart. Planting at great
er distances will prove to be too
costly this year. Treat seed pota-
toes infected with scab or rhizoc-
tonia.
Largest potato yields will be OBJ
tanned where the fertilizer is ap-
piled two to three inches from the
seed pieces and on the same or a
slightly lower plane.
Cultivate deeply and close to the
plants early in the season, but keep
the cultivator away from the roots
as the season advances. Close, deep
cultivation later in the season does
more harm than good.
Start spraying with Bordeaux mix
ture when the plants are six to eight
inches high and make applications
every week or ten days. Twenty
years tests have proved spraying to
be a desirable practice.-American
Agriculturist.

CHICKS HAVE RIGHT
TO PROPER START
Therefore, Give Attention to
"Hatching" Eggs.

Successful Colorado poultrymen
who produced eggs for Matching find
that it pays to give close attention
TO % the condition and care of the
breeding flock, and (2) proper care
of Matching eggs before they are
set.
More farmers and poultrymen
than usual are Matching their own
chicks with setting hens-the good
old fashioned method-reports O..
c. Ufford, extension poultryman at
the Colorado Agricultural college.
THE breeding flock from which
Matching eggs are being produced "
saws Uford, should be carefully
culled to eliminate hens that are
too fat, lack vigor or health, or have
serious defects of type and color.
"Bacillary white diarrhea, Sc
rious disease Of young chicks, comes
from hens in the breeding flock that
are affected" he adds. ut is not
possible to recognize such hens ex-
cept by blood testing the individual
birds"
Green feed and sunshine supply
vitamins that are needed for nor
NAL health and growth of chicks, it
is pointed out. The baby chick first
makes use of vitamins when ii is
devploninp in the egg, but the egg
will not contain these important ell
ements unless the breeding flock is

Therefore the flock should have
plenty of sunshine and a @ell-hal-
anced ration that includes green

SMARTEST SPORTS
SUITS ARE WHITE

The sports suit this season is
smarter when it is white, or some
light neutral color like beige or
gray. Chanel made pale beige
wool suits for Biarritz last fall, and
jazZed them up to a sportive air
with vivid striped jersey blouses.
They made a great success. and the
spring sports suit is their logical
descendant, because it has a blouse
or sweater that is usually ex-
tremely bright or dark and rich in
color.
The white sports suit, made of Ell
ther wool or cotton, is much more
fashionable If it has a blouse or
sweater of sapphire blue. orange. or
bright red. Some women like en-
erald green blouses with their white
sports suits, but this color is less
frequently seen than are the first
named shades.

Care of Ewes

In order to give birth 10 strong
thrifty lambs the ewes need plenty
Of nutritious feeds and sufficient ex-
ercise. The ration of the pregnant
and nursing eve should consist Of
feeds rich in minerals and protein
and the cheapest source Of these nu-
trients is in clover or alfalfa hay
Turnips are also a valuable feed for
breeding ewes, due largely to their
tonic and regulating effect. and are
fed at the rate of three pounds per
head per day along with a liberal
supply of hay.
Salt should be available at all
times and where well-balanced ra-
tions are fed, especially those in
Guiding good legume hay, sheep will
ordinarily receive enough calcium
and phosphorus, which are the
other mineral nutrients most apt TO
be lacking.

Don't Cut Down on Feed

This is no time to cut down on
the lock's feed even though egg
prices are low. In fact, low egg
prices make it all the more neces
sary that birds be fed generously
and thus be kept at the height of
their ability to produce. The lay
ing flock should have a mash be
fore it all the time during the sum
mer months. In addition 1t should
be given some grain. The only
feeding change should be the cut

ton of the morning feeding of

Orchard Pests Can
Be Done Away With
Good Fruit Is Produced by
Healthy Trees.
(By II. r. Niswonger. Field Horticultur-
Ist. Colorado state CollegeD

NBy II. X. Nlswonger. Field Horticultur-
ist. Colorado State College)
One Of the best ways TO control
insect and disease pests in the or
chard and to improve the quality of
fruit this season is to give the or
chard a thorough cleaning. This ap-
plies especially to apple orchards.
Apple scab, for instance. spreads
from dead leaves which have
dropped from trees that were in
fected with the disease last season.
The leaves should be raked up and
burned or plowed under as early as
possible.
The codling moth winters over un-
der the loose bark and among the
refuse where Gull apples were piled
or boxes and other containers were
stored. This bark might be scraped
from trees, raked up and burned.
Make a general cleaning of such
places as the codling moth is likely
TO hibernate. This cleanup prac-
tice will reduce the number of
worms in the fruit this season.
San Jose scale and other insects
multiplied greatly during the 1881
crop year because of favorable
weather conditions. Spraying the
trees with lime sulphur win keep
this scale under control, and the use
Of one Of the commercial oil sprays
will give control of the scurfy and.
oyster-shell scale insects.
Some trees which are weak and
are giving no good returns might be
removed from the orchard or top
worked by grating in from a bet
ter tree or variety.

Modern Contract
BFId9e BY Leila HaHersleY
Opening Bids of One

THERE can be but one opening or
l. original bid on each deal. All
bids which follow this first bid are
designated by different terms and
Influenced by different factors. The
opening bid may be made by the
dealer. by the second hand after
dealer has passed, by the third
hand if both dealer and second hand
have passed, or by the fourth hand
if all the others have passed. Third
or fourth hand original bids require
greater minimum strength than
such bids when made by the dealer
or second hand. The original or
opening bid is the most clear-cut in
its requirements. In the approach
forcing system, the opening bid
most often employed is the bid of
one in a suit, because a sound suit
bid, even a four card minor, is al
ways preferred to a no trump.
An original suit bid of one in a
major or minor is declared on the
same type of hand. While neither
ever shows a suit which cannot be
played at the trump named, such
declaration must be regarded as pri-
marily for the purpose of conveying
information to your partner; in
formation which he is expected to
act upon throughout all the sub
sequent bidding and play Of the
1 hand.
/ When, playing contract according
to the approach-fOrcing system,
Dealer or Second Hand looks over
his cards and announces one spade,
heart, diamond or club, he is prac-
tically talking across the board"
In language entirely fair and
equitable, because it is understood,
or may be, by every player at the
table, such bid says:
Partner, / have sufficient length
in this suit to play it as trumps. 1t
may be four card suit with at
least 112 honOr-tricks at the top, or
a longer suit with less top strength.
! But most important of all, l have
I 21a defensive tricks somewhere in
my hand; tricks which should prove
/ winners whether we or the Oppo-
nents secure the final contract. This
much l promise from my hand.
There may be something more, but
you can be sure there is nothing
less"
4 Or if the declaration is one no
/ trump:
Partner, I have at least 21A
hOnor-tricks distributed in three
suits and my hand contains no bid
dable suit"
In the position of opening the bid
third or fourth hand, the bidder
shows a minimum of three honor
tricks.
AZ the prime requisite for
sound opening bid is definite num-
| Der of honor-tricks, the primary
need for a sound approachforcing
player is a thorough knowledge of
honor-trick values.
The approach-forcing system has
discarded the old fashioned quick
trick count in favor of a more ac-
curate method of computing the
probable value Of honor cards held
singly and in combinations. The
standard table of honor tricks fol-
! 1ov-c.
