PRODUCTION OF | : COWS REDUCED Shortage Os Fresh Pasture Grass Causing Reduction Fayetteville, Arkansas, July 17 -Dairy cows are falling off in production due to a shortage of fresh pasture grass, reports V. L. Gregg, Extension dairyman, University of Arkansas College of Agriculture. One creamery reports total receipts of cfeani have fallen off one third in the last 3 weeks. This is not a temporary loss in inilk production that will be regained when the drought is broken and good pastures return, Mr. Gregg said. Most of this reduction will continue until the dairy cows freshen again, which makes the condition of great importance to Arkansas’ cream and milk industry. A loss in production of dairy cows early in the lactation period, due to unfavorable weather or shortage of feed, cannot be fully regained by favorable weather or good feed because the cow must have a new stimulus of freshening before she comes back to normal production. The feeding of grain and hay at this time will bring good returns from those cows that freshened , this spring. The feed will maintain higher production, and the cow will go into the stail and winter with good production when milk and cream prices are relatively high. i If a part of the winter's supply of hay and grain is used at this season, careful plans must be made to make the most of a break in the drought. Sudan grass sown as late as August 1 will make an abundance of late summer and fall pasture if moisture is available. The seed bed should be well prepared so it is firm and free from large clods, as the seed must germinate quickly and the plants must start off rapidly to stand the hot weather i that may follow any good rain dur- : ing this season. | Grain sorghums or cane planted in rows as lates as August 1 may i also supply good green feed for dairy cows in the fall. These crops should be cut daily and fed to the I cows, second growth after I cutting these crops should not be ■ fed. Bulletin Issued For Beekeepers Lafayette, July 17— All beekeepers in Indiana and those who are I contemplating beekeeping will be : interested in a bulletin on this ' subject just published by the Del partment of Agricultural Extension of the Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station. This publication, which is a 20-page abbreviated handbook on beekeeping! methods was written by B. E. ■ Montgomery, of the Purdue De- | partment of Entomology and an authority on the subject.

July 17 — That potato growers can make more money by marketing potatoes of higher quality and more uniform size Is sharply emphasized in a new bulletin published at University Farm. St. Paul, on “A Study of the Demand for Potatoes In the Twin Cities." The study was conducted by L. F. Garey, division of agricultural economics, among hotels, hospitals, restaurants, and retail stores. The study bristles with significant facts for potato producers. For one thing, it shows that large cities have a great demand for the very best quality of potatoes, high in cooking quality and uniform in size. Since about 30 per cent of the potatoes used in the Twin Cities come from outside states, Mr. Garey asked what the objections were to Minnesota potatoes. The replies indicated that a large part of the shipped-in potatoes could be replaced by Minnesota potatoes through improvement in quality and more careful , grading. Better control of diseases i would greatly improve the quality! of the crop. Another conclusion was that im- ' provement of quality and better . grading would also help the sale ; of Minnesota potatoes shipped out of the state. The bulletin, which has the num- .' ber 324. is published by the Minne- i , sota Agricultural Experiment Sta.l tion, and is available free from j the Bulletin Office, Univertity j Farm, St. Paul. . o DRY WEATHER . IS FAVORABLE Dry Weather Has Been Unusually Favorable To Poultry Knoxville, Tenn., July 17 — Dry weather to date has been unusualIly favorable to the production of (poultry, and there will be a substantial increase in both chickens and turkeys, due to favorable weather conditions for brooding, states A. J. Chadwell, U-T Extension poultryman. According to the reports of hatchery people of the state, there has been a greater demand for baby chicks this year than for the past five years, Mr. Chadwell says. The demand has far exceeded the supply on hand. However, the outlook for the remainder of the year is less favorable, due to the short age of green feed and grain as a result of the extended drouth. Poultrymen are advised to sow soybeans or cow peas alone, or with Sudan grass because these plants are highly nutritious and will provide excellent green feed at relatively low cost. Unless some provision is made for green feed. Mr. Chadwell warms, the growth of pullets will be retarded on the majority of farms. It is not too early to begin planning for a patch of crimson clover for' winter green feed. August is usually the best, month to sow crimson clover. This clover can be sown alone on a well prepared seed bed. or can be sown with Some small grain such as wheat, rye. oats or barley. Mr. Chadwell also advises keeping young pullets growing by feeding them liberally on graiu and mash, or grain and milk. Shade and fresh water are essential to prop-! er growth and development of the pullets, he states. The better layers in the flock can be selected with greater accuracy at this time of the year. For further information along this line, those interested, should read Publication No. 162. "Selecting tho Good Layer,” that can be secured free of charge from your county agent or by writing the U-T Extension Service, Knoxville.

WEEVILS CAUSE WHEAT DAMAGE Damage By Weevils One Os Heaviest Losses To Growers Lafayette, July 17 — One of the ■ largest losses to wheat growers is j that resulting from damage by j weevils, and this damage and loss i results after all expenses of grow-| ing and harvesting the crop have ! . been expended. In other words ev--1 ery dollar of wheat lost by weevil I infestation is a 100 per cent net ■ loss. And yet. according to J. J. ' Davis, head of the Entomology Department of the Purdue University i Agricultural Experiment Station, most of this loss could be prevented by inexpensive cleanup prac-1 tlces b fore the new crop ie placed 1 in the blns. The precautions which are important at the present time include cleaning of the bins of all traces of old grains and this should be done as long as possible before threshing and storage of the new crop. Before storing new grain, the bins should be thoroughly cleaned and all loose and waste grain fed and the cracks where old grain may be lodged should be sprayed with kerosene or similar material. Grain bags should be cleaned. Grain held over from years to year Increases danger from weevils and i if held more than one year should' be fumigated with carbon bisulphide. After the grain is placed in the bin, it should be examined occas-' tonally and if weevils are found, the grain should be moved or transferred if possible. If this cannot be done, fumigation must be

I). C., July 17 — 1 Livestock men who believe improvement of farm animals lies more in using those of proved fertility. vigor, and economical production, than in simply increasing ! the numbers of pedigreed pure- : hreds. point out that in the country of their origin, pure breeds! were but slightly apart from common stock says the new yearbook | of the United States Department ’ of Agriculture. I But American demands for pure- ■ breds— as in the case of Shorthorns from Britain — widened the I gap between pedigreed and nonpedigreed stock, as to desirability in the breeding herd. In like manner. a demand for purebreds in the United States has made efforts toj ward merit of individual animals of less immediate importance than breed promotion. Rating dairy cattle, poultry, and meat animals on pedigrees and, appearance rather than ion milk, egg and meat production is like judging a man by his ancestors. rather than by his actions and thoughts, say those breeders who are willing to experiment in the little known field of animal genetics.

PREPARE NOW FOR GARDENS Hot July And August Should Not Deter Garden Plans .Morgantown, West Virginia, July 17— The fever to plant not only trees and shrubs but perennials and seeds comes with the ! first warm days of spring, and many persons lose their interest i in gardening with the hot. humid days of July and August. This is unfortunate, for much of the best work which may be done in the garden may be accomplished or planned for during these months, says T. D. Gray. Extension landscape architect of the College of Agriculture. , Permanent seed® of the delphini ium, coreopsis, gaillardia, canter- ! bury bells, pansies, violas, and othrs may be started in the cold ; frame during July and August. Af- \ ter the seeds are sown the cold i frame should be provided with a i covering of burlap or slate to break ——
