Calf Vaccination

Since January l, 1941, 80,292
calves have been vaccinated under
federal supervision in the state of
New York as protection against
Bangs infection. This leads all
states for numbers vaccinated under
the state-federal plan. Vermont
dairymen have vaccinated, howev-
er, a higher percentage of their
available calves to reach a total of
67,602 during the same period.
Louisiana appears third in the list
of states cooperating with the fed
eral government in controlled calf
hood vaccination with 50,550 immu-
nized against the disease. The fol-
lowing states have vaccinated Is, 1000
or more calves: Colorado, Idaho,
and Washington.

New Jersey Leads in
Milk Output Per Cow

A report of the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics ranks New Jer-
sey first in milk production per cow
Gin milk or dry) with 1T pounds
daily per COW production. To secure
this production, New Jersey dairy
men also fed the highest amount of
grain" per cow which averaged ~
pounds daily.
California was second high in the
nation with 1877 pounds per COW and
grain" ration Of only 81 pounds
per COW due to superior roughage
in the form of irrigated alfalfa hay.
Mississippi was lowest in produc-
ton per cow, credited with ga
pounds milk per day and tied with
Georgia with 2.6 pounds grain per
cow daily.
The national average for all cows
of milking age whether in milk or
dry was 11.89 pounds milk daily
from 4.66 pounds dairy ration.

To Assure Good Growth, -
Suggest Seed Disinfectant

Any housewife will understand
that seeds, when sown in damp soil,
may be attacked by mould. Since
the soil must be damp in order for
the seeds to terminate, the danger
of such attacks is always present.
Both moulds (fungD and bacteria
may attack seeds, and their attacks
are sometimes favored by cold and
sometimes by warmth. Infection
may be present in the soil, or it may
be on the seed. It is most likely to
cause serious trouble, when the con-
ditions under which seed are sown
are not favorable, and termination
is consequently delayed.
For example, when you SOW seeds
earlier than you usually do, hoping
to speed up the harvest, the seeds
are more likely to lie dormant long
enough for mould or bacterial
growth to develop. When seeds are
sown in boxes indoors, excessive
dampness and warmth may have a
similar effect; in fact, one sort of
fungus which commonly develops is
called "damping off,"
Wherever this sort of trouble is
encountered, it will pay to disinfect
the seed before sowing. There are
said to be 500 different kinds of or
ganisms which may be present in
the soil or on the seed, waiting ia
vorable conditions to develop.

Grow Scarcer

Alewives now run into fewer riv-
ers and are far less abundant now
than formerly. Their production
throughout New England has fallen
from an average of more than 10
million pounds during the first four
years in which the fisheries were
canvassed, beginning in 1880, to
slightly over 4 million pounds dur
ing the last three years (1938-40) for
which statistics are available.
In the past the demand for ale
wives has been light. They were
used chiefly for sailing, smoking,
and as lobster bait, since their bony
nature restricted their use as food.
Recent canning experiments, how
ever, demonstrated that canning
softens the bones, and several thou
sand cases canned in 1912 found a
ready market.

Mice Trap Selves

There are some mice in the West
Indies that love coconuts. So a
mouse nibbles hole in the coconut
of its choice, squeezes inside, and
eats and eats and eats. The coconut
and the milk make it fat. When it
tries to get out, the hole proves too
small. So it lies down and goes to
sleep, and then when it wakes up,
and could easily get out, the coconut
proves to be too much of tempta-
ton. It satisfies its hunger with
more coconut.
Anyway, in that coconut it stays
until some native comes along and
picks the queer trap from the tree,
and finds he has caught himself a
mouse.

Many Rabbit Varieties
Have u. S. Supporters

Some 40 years OF rabb1t-keep1ng
in America has demonstrated that
the White New Zealands combine
excellent meat quality, quickly ma
turing youngsters and top value in
skins, which latter factor must al
ways be kept in mind as a big help
on the feed bill.
All standardized breeds and vari-
cites of domestic rabbits, however,
from the giant Flemish found in six
color varieties and ranging up to %
pounds at full maturity, down to the
diminutive Polish, often fitting the
scales at only three pounds when
fully grown, have their supporters.
Between these extremes range a
Kaleidoscope rainbow Of solid col
or breeds-black, blue, red, brown,
chocolate, silver and fawn-every
one beautiful to the eye, and good
meat and fur producers. Well-bred
rabbits come alike in all these colors
in four variations of silky fur-nor-
NAL fur Ordinary rabbits, short,
velvety fur (the Rex breeds), long,
woody fur (the Angoras), and even
in short, wavy, Astrakhan-like fur
(The Astrea-Rex).
There are the spotted varieties,
bred in black, blue, tortoise and
chocolate markings on a pure white
background-the Dutch belted; the
white Himalayans with black ears,
nose, feet and tail; and the agouti
varieties, or Chinchillas, Belgian
hares, silver Martens and Black and
Tans. And the French and English
silver breeds, and the American sill
yer fox Giants.

STATES ALTERS TO "CAN MORE
IN IA TO SPEED VICTORY"

Rural girls throughout this state
are enlisting in what promises to be
the largest victory brigade of its kind
on record. 1t comprises fully half
million All Club members of prac-
tically every state in the Union,
whose wartime motto is Can More
in IA to Speed Victory"
An indication of the volume or
foodstuffs these girls will put up this
year is reflected in the 1943 All
canning records, which show that
roundly 100000 All girls canned
rs million jars of foods.
Many of the girls will receive
training essential to the successful
preservation of vegetables, meats and
fruits in the National All Canning
Achievement Activity, which is being
conducted by the Extension Service
and awards provided by the Kerr
Glass Mfg. Corp, for the 10th
consecutive year. The activity's chief
detectives are to increase home food
supplies by canning products raised
on farms, thereby assuring varied,
balanced, health-buil d ng lie t
through periods of scarcity, and re-
ducing expenditures for foodstufis.
Awards for outstanding records of
achievement include silver medals
to county winners, an all-expense trip
to the National All Club Congress
in Chicago next December to the
state champion, and $500 college
scholarship to six national winners.
Last years state winner in Mary
land was Evelyn Arnold of Monrovia.

Ancient Customs

Guatemala, Middle American
republic about the size of Ohio, had
its own culture, customs, costumes
and lore one thousand years before
Christ.
The early Magyar Indians whose
descendants still inhabit the country
knew mathematics, astronomy, and
the arts of husbandry; they were
skilled in certain arts and sciences:
they spoke highly developed
languages rich In color; and lived
their lives in accordance with Z
strict religion.

Chard a Beet Species

Although chard's great nutritive
value as source of vitamins A,
B and c, was unknown in the first
war, gardeners were then attracted
to it by the huge yield which could
be obtained from one row, cut con-
stantly all through the summer, un-
til the fall freezeup.
Chard is a species of beet which
can be sown as soon as the ground
has been prepared, and in a month
will be high enough to begin cutting.
For the best quality, leaves should
never be allowed to grow more than
10 inches tall. Leaves which reach
this size should be cut, and smaller
ones left to grow, providing con-
tinuous harvest of young tender
leaves throughout the season.

supervisor in charge of v F v.
In the Gallatin valley As r.
to-16-year-old boys and %
girls of the same age group
took care of pea roguetng, and
nine boys assisted in potato
hoeing. As pea canning is now
in full swing, there are IS to 20
boys, 16 and II years old, work.

MORE FUND TO
FIGHT POLIO

Announcing that the Ameri-
can people had contributed an
all-time record of $10,973,491 to
the 1914 Embarrassing appeal of
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis, Basil O'Con-
nor, foundation president, de-
clared last night that these do
nations will permit an eXpan-
sion of the war against the
children's enemy on the home
front.
With epidemics or serious out
breaks now taking their toll in
twelve of the states OF the ma
ton, Mr.. O'Connor pointed out
that the number of cases re-
ported is already higher than
for the comparable period last
year when the country suffered
its third worst epidemic.
MI. OConnor said the Nation
al Foundation would now be
able to add more iepidemlci
fighters and additional equip
ment for emergency aid and at
the same time, continue its fight
to learn how to prevent and
cure the disease.
Dimes and dollars contributed
by Americans are at work in
North Carolina, Kentucky, New
York, Louisiana, Pennsylvania,
Virginia, Tennessee Ohio, Mich
igan, Maryland, Mississippi, and
Indiana where there are serious
or threatening outbreaks, he
added.
This years donations almost
doubled the former record of
$5,527,59O set in 1913, Mr. OCon-
nor said, and the total COM
prised millions of small dona-
lions indicating that almost
every person in this country has
had some part in creating the
means of carrying on this
mighty crusade.
One-half of the funds raised

CAUSE
PAPER SHORTAGE

The victories on the war
fronts have increased rather
than decreased the urgent need
for radical observation of paper
products, said James J. FlaIherty,
chairman Montana Paper In
dustries conservation committee
today.
The further inland the armies
60, the larger the use for paper
products. Technical advances in
the use of paper products in
war production has helped to
make our fighting men the best
equipped military force in his
tory, stated Mr.. Flaherty. How
ever, the manufacture of such
items as airplane wing tips,
parachute flares, fuel tank lin
ings, practice bombs ammuni-
ton chests, camouflage paper
and many additional essential
military items has created the
necessity of greatly reducing the
civilian supply of paper products.
A lack of sufficient manpower
in the paper pulp industry has
added to the present shortage.
This shortage can be greatly al
leviated, added Mr.. Faherty. if
all retailers and the public CO.
operate in a program of con-
ersving paper by curtailing un-
necessary use of the material.
May retailers are cooperating
in paper conservation by asking
consumers to accept their pur-
chases unwrapped. The public
is urged to accept wartime pack
aging cheerfully and to return
paper bags to the stores when
ever possible.
