SPOILED FEEDS CAUSE OF
DEATH AMONG LIVESTOCK

are fed to mules and horses our
ing the spring work season.
If feeds become wet, due TO
leaking roofs, they will readily
undergo heating and fermenta-
ton. This causes q discolored or
blackened feed which should not
be fed to mules, cattle, swine, or
to any livestock. Mouldy or even
musty smelling feed also should
not be fed to chickens, as it Will
cause securing and diarrhea.
Ground mash or feed stored
near the surface Of the ground
readily takes up moisture, be-
comes damp, and if not used in a
short time becomes musty and
mouldy. Such feed is then only
fit for fertilizer.
SPOILED SILAGE
Complaints also are received in
the spring about feed causing the
death of cows. The cause may be
spoiled feed, the same as for
mules. But another cause of sick
ness with the onset of warm
weather may be the spelling ST.
lage. Nothing will more quickly
cause trouble and sickness than
feeding silagc which has spoiled
as a result of becoming wet and
overheated. Such silage can be
detected by its dark or otf-color,
especially when compared with
good silage. A cause of this is
seepage of water into trench silos
which, if not detected in time,
may spoil the entire contents.
Spoiled silage on the top layer
in upright silos also should be
discarded. The spoilage occurs es-
pecially where the top layer be-
comes wet from rains when the
top of the silo has been left open
or when it leaks.
The discarded, spoiled silage
must be disposed of in such a
manner that stock will not have
access to it. 1t should not be
thrown near fences where stock
can reach through and eat it.
Feeding too much of an unbal-
anced ration of cottonseed meal
and hulls for considerable length
of time may cause the death of
the family COW.

When the warm days and nights
of spring arrive, many complaints
of feed causing sickness and
death 70 livestock are received at
the College of Agriculture.
1t is not know how much of
this sickness and death is actually
caused by the feeds consumed but
the scientists are able to judge
somewhat by the feed samples
sent in accompanied by a state
ment that the animal died shortly
after it was fed. Such losses, when
they occur in the spring. are usu-
ally limited to mules and cattle.
If they occurred in the fall-for
example, among swinc--One would
suspect hog cholera rather than
the feed. The hogs may appear
sick one day and be found dead
the next morning. 1t has been the
experience of the Experiment Sta
ton chemists that when such
feeds as wheat bran and wheat
shorts or middlings are sent in for
examination in the fall and sus-
pected Of causing the sudden
death of pigs. that the feeds are
of good quality. The pigs must
have died from other causes, prob
ably hog cholera.
However, when mules and cat
tie die in the spring, there is per-
haps some justification for sus-
pecting the feed, apart from those
instances where the animals die
from natural causes or from poi
sonouS and injurious substances
added to the feed.

Complaints of sickness and

Under spring conditions, if the
feed is not stored off the ground,
and kept dry and free from damp
ness, it is liable to spoil. This in

Maps Declared An
Essential In All.
Planned Farming.
Value Of Maps, Sketches
Becomes More Widely
Realized
BY w. D. ALEXANDER, JR.
Soil Conservation Service

Farm maps or sketches were
comparatively unknown until re-
/ Gently and few farmers realized
their Importance as guide in
working out a complete farm pro-
gram in cooperation with the
! State College extension service
and the soil conservation service.
In working out an erosion con-
troll program on North Carolina
farms one of the first steps taken
by the soil conservation service
! is to make complete map of in
dividual farms, showing the extent
and degree of erosion, slope and
the use of the land, that is, areas
that are in crops, woodland, pas
( ture abandoned land and severely
quilted areas.
The first step in making farm
mao in the demonstration erosion
control areas is the Mosaic, an
aerial photograph taken from an
( altitude of about 10000 feet, fly
ing east and west, while in the
! CCC camp projects the plant ia
bic is used. The lens in the cam
era used by the aviator are call
brated so that the finished picture,
or photograph, scales l inch TO
600 feet, with not more than 10
/ a per cent error. -,
! First glance at the finished Mo-
sale does not give one very oen-
mite impression of what 1t repre-
,sents, The photograph looks milky
white to very dark in color. Close
observation reveals that the mar
row white lines are roads, that the
black and gray patches are WOODS,
and that the white parts are tne
cleared and cultivated fields. All
the houses. outbuildingS, terraces,
hedgerows, and even the thick
growing and row crops may De To-
Gated on the map. III,
With this photograph as a guide
the engineers go over the farm
and locate the borders. When the
farm boundaries have been run
tbev are located and charted on
the aerial map and straight lines
are drawn joining these points.
The soil expert then walks over
! the farm and maps the soil, show,
ing the types, slope and degree OF
erosion on veery field. This infor'
nation is placed upon the lndi'
vidual farm map, in symbols.
The combination of the picture,
and the soil survey data is used
by the soil conservationist II
working out the farm plan with
the landowner. Each of the ero'
sion control practices that are to
be put into operation on the farm
is denied on the map by SYMBOLS
All the information thus gath
cred is entered on another map
traced from the photograph, wmch
is enlarged and made easier TO
understand.
FARMER GETS COPY
When the cooperative agree,
ment between the farmer and soil
conservation service has been COM
pleted, a copy of the complete map
is given to the farmer, along with

 Howdy. Have you been going to school this week? The grad uates of Mr. Humphreys class es on First Aid and Safety can be distinguished from the ordin- ary run of Nome citizenry by the hopeful glint in their eyes whel they see some friend take a nasty spill. It may be an opportunity for them to apply their recently acquired knowledge. It's a good idea to have confidence to act during an emergency, but re- member, the prevention of acci- dents is the most important fact or in safety.
 Here at the office, the material on hand is being gradually set up. Of course, no assays or deter minations can be made till the rest of the equipment arrives. Meanwhile the examination of lode prospects goes on. Anyone having a lode prospect to be ex- amined should get in touch Wjth me before the first snows.
 Have you ever tried to sum- marize the conditions that war; ant prospecting for lodeS? There are others, but the presence of outcropS, presence of float, fav- orable geological conditions and ancient workings cover the most important.
 Presence of outcrops warrants prospecting to determine wheth- CT shoots of commercial ore ex- ist at any points along them. Practically all exposed outcropS of well known types of ore bod ies have been located (gold in quartz veins for example) In the vicinity of Nome, very few of them have been systematical- ly sampled. Ii you're a deal pro- spector, you will take advantage of the service offered by the Territorial Department of Mines and determine whether or not your find warrants further eXplor ation. Besides the exposed ore bodies, there are those, the out crops of which are covered by soil or rock. These are far more abundant than the former type but most of them have not yet been located.
 The presence of float, as pieces of ore, specks of metal or ore minerals justifies prospecting. Such discoveries must be consid- cred in connection with local geology. Thus it is useless to seek the source of quartz float in a schist or slate area where indiv-

JUNEAU, Oct. 9, - Comment ing on the fact that the Alaska Development program is to be drawn up in Washington, D. C. by federal agencies without con- plete consultation with Alaska interests, the Juneau Empire ed itorially says, that it would be impossible in the short time re- maining before the first of the year when the plan is to be sub mitted, to get adequate sugges- tions from Alaskans.
 Our Territorial officials are
 equipped with sound data on
 Alaska and it's needs. Surely
 they should be consulted just
 as much as federal officials"
 Who Is Better Qualified
 The mpire further says that Federal agencies propose to draw up a plan on areial development. But who is better qualified than the members of our Alaska Aero nautical Commission?
 ''The false, old theory which revailed for years in Washing ton, that Alaska was for the sole benefit of the bureaucrats in Washington to try out their id eas on, continues" said the edi- torial.

 "They have a cooperative at titude from the head of the In terior Department and the Dir ector of Territories, who are working wholeheartedly with Governor Troy.
