Tar Treatment Is Urged
for Sheep Having Grubs

Sheep that are suffering from grups
are not infested with worms, but the
larval form of the sheep CAD fly. The
fly deposits eggs about the nostrils OF
the animals in the warm summer
weather, and these work their way up
through the nostrils to the sinuses
or spaces in the head. Here they re-
main through the winter and drop out
the next spring, pupate In the soil Tor
a few weeks, and then hatch into flies,
to repeat the egg-laying process the
following summer. There is no prac-
tical treatment for removing these
larvae grubs from the nostrils, once
they are there, but something can be
done to prevent the CAD fly from lay
ing her eggs on the Sleeps This IS
accomplished by offering the flock
darkened place to retreat into during
the hours of bright sunshine ON sum-
mer days, and by smearing the nose
with pine tar every three or four days.
The tar can be applied with an old
glove or by making salt box with a
lid in which holes about a foot apart
and three inches in diameter have been
bored. Smear the edges of the holes
with tar and put salt in the box. AS
the sheep reach through for the salt,
they smear the tar on their noses, and
this has been found effective in repel-
ling the flies which lay the eggs

Enrich Soil for
Alfalfa Growing
Building Up Fertility Most
Important, According
to an Authority.
BY r., j. Harris. Superintendent Experiment
Station Farm. Colorado State College

BY r.. ]. Harris, Superintendent Experiment
Station Farm. Colorado State College
WNU Service.
The first step in growing alfalfa is
to build up the fertility Of soils on
which 1t is to be planted unless 1t Is
already in good condition.
When the soil is acid, one to three
tons of lime should be applied to the
acre. Soil that has been neglected or
which is in a poor state Of fertility
should have heavy applications of ma
nure early in the spring. The manure
should be mixed into the soil with
disk harrow. Then a crop of soy
beans should be grown and turned un-
der.
In the fall the field should be plowed
and allowed to lie fallow during the
winter freezes. Sow lespedeza in Feb
ruary and turn it under when 1t has
reached maximum growth, which
should not be later than September 1.
The crop should be disked well before
being turned under. Then the lime
should be disked into the soil and the
field left to stand for two weeks Next
should be an application of 600 pounds
of 4-12-4 fertilizer per acre and anoth-
er disking, followed by section har-
row and then cultipacker.
Following the two seasons of pre-
pairing the soil, at least 25 pounds OF
quality alfalfa seed should be sown to
the acre by drill or by hand between
September Is and October 10. If the
fall seeding does not produce full
stand, another seeding may be made
about March 1 to 10 or sooner If the
weather is favorable.
Double inoculations give the best
results. Bacteria cultures and soil
from fields which have been growing
alfalfa are good inoculants.
Farmers whose soil is in high state
of fertility may start their alfalfa
crops this fall without going through
the two seasons of preparation men
toned above.

Bothersome Goat Grass

Where wheat is grown continuously,
eradication of goat grass is difficult.
Some farmers SOW infested spots while
the plants are still green and burn the
straw as soon as dry. Others avoid
infested spots in harvesting. and later
pile straw on them and burn it. Still
others disk fields as soon as the grass
seedlings are well up in the fall and
before the wheat is sown. Control of
goat grass is not difficult where rota-
ton with row crops is possible. 1t is
easily killed by cultivation. The only
complicating factor is the difficulty of
killing plants growing in fence rows.

grass does not compete with native

Scours in Dairy Calves

Scours is usually caused by i'm
proper feeding and it is much easier
to prevent than cure, says the North
Carolina State college. When the first
symptoms appear isolate the calf and
reduce the milk feed by half. The
substitution of grass hay for legume
hay will also aid in the recovery. One
to three tablespoons full of castor oil,
depending upon the age of the calf,
should be given followed by teaspoon
full of a mixture containing one part
of salol to two parts each of subni-
trate of bismuth and bicarbonate OF
soda. Repeat dose at intervals OF
about six hours until diarrhea Is
stopped. Prevention, however, is the
best cure and the cause of the trouble
should be located and removed.

Legal
Questions


questions now on the horizon. One of
these stands out. 1t relates to the
rights of citizens after they have
signed the codes of fair practice, and
legal lights tell me it runs straight
back to a base In the Constitution OF
the United States.
1t is an old legal maxim that after a
person has accepted benefits from a
statute or regulation, which means a
voluntary action, that person may not
be heard to question the validity of
the provision from which those benefits
accrued. Now, business men signed
the codes under what NRA lawyers
claim was a voluntary act. Having
done that, it is claimed they cannot
test the cOnstitutionality of the law or
regulations Cor the codes) written I'M
der that law.
1t seems, however, that there Is
difference of opinion between the law
yers of MIRA and the lawyers af the
Department of Justice. Many lawyers
outside of the government are under
stood to be gathering up all of the
pieces Of argument they can find re-
speeding the positions of the two gov
ernmental groups.
AS I understand 1t, lawyers repre-
senting code signers have put forth the
argument that the signing was not
voluntary action. They contend that
throughout the making of codes, Cen
eral Johnson and his aides consistently
stressed the point that unless those to
whom the code was to apply. agreed
the administrator would write code
for them and they would be bound by
it. l never heard it used as threat,
but it nevertheless is fact that most
of those who had dealings with the
NRA were afraid they would suffer
from the licensing of their plants If
they failed to sign the codes.
These technicalities may appear in
consequential, but they are Of the
greatest Importance. There are going
to be court tests of some provisions of
the recovery act and the authority ex.
ercised by NRA. The consensus here
seems to be that these tests will in.

recovery naturally brought many pro-
visions of worthless character. Many
times, it has been shown, those pro-
visions have very nearly upset the
good that was obviously going to re-
suit from fair practice agreements.
The job the fiye-man board has to do,
If 1t remains as successor to Gen

codes with fine-toothed comb and
eliminate all of the questionable and
useless provisions. My opinion is, IL
this were done, there would be much
less opposition to the codes and con-
sequently to continuation of the in
dustrial recovery act.
The prevalent thought in Washing
ton, then, is that as result of the
annoying features contained in the
codes, the administration Is likely to
pull hard to revise as many of them as
is possible before next winter. Much
of this work obviously will have to be
done before election and such political
effect as may be will be reaped in the
