100 pounds, gallon or from 23 to 34 cents per HEALTH PLAN IS OUTLINED Four “S” Program Will Improve Many Poultry Flocks “There’s a big movement among Indiana poultry raisers to enlist in the great 48 program.’’ states William Kohlmeyer, Purdue Uni versity poultry extension specialist. “There are no secrets about this progressive program as the cardinal principles are: scraps, sweep, scrub, and spray." The coming of the baby chick season finds careful poultry raisers preparing their brooding equip ment for use, says Kohlemeyer Thorough cleaning of the brooder house is advisable as a precaution against disease losses. Old litter should be scraped loose and swept out of the brooder house. Also dust and dirt on window sills and ledges should be removed. The floor and sidewalls may then be scrubbed with a solution of one-fourth pound of household lye in five gallons of boiling water. An old broom or a scrubbing brush fitted to a handle makes a good scrubbing tool. Care should be taken to avoid getting the caustic lye solution on one's clothing or skin. When the floor is clean many Indiana poultrymen rinse it with clean water in order to remove or dilute any remaining lye solution. As an added precaution, some Hoosier poultry raisers follow the scrubbing with a disinfectant spray. A three per cent water solution of a coal-tar preparation is commonly used. Such a cleaning and disinfecting program should be completed early enough so that thh brooder 1 bouse can be dried out before the - arrival of the baby chicks.

WHEAT HELPED BY NITROGEN Quickly Available Nitrogen Needed By Yellowish Wheat Farmers, is your wheat yellowish green in color? If so, it Is probably in need of some quickly available nitrogen. Top dressing wheat with nitrogenous materials has been found to be profitable here, according to County Agent L. E. Archbold. Nitrogen deficient wheat may be I top dressed any time previous to April 20 at the rate of 20 pounds of nitrogen per acre. To apply this amount of nitrogen, it will be necessary to use about 100 pounds of either ammonium sulphate or calcium cyanamid or 125 pounds of nitrate of soda. It has been found that the increased number of bushels produced through top dressing actually cost farmers ap- . proximately 35 cents each. Where alfalfa is to be seeded with oats this spring, it will be ! found profitable to use a fertilizer containing either phosphate or potash or both, depending upon the , type of soil, cropping system, and j treatment the land has had durI ing previous years. As a general recommendation , for alfalfa, sandy soils should rei ceive 200 to 250 pounds of an 0-10-20 or 0-8-24 per acre. Silt loams ' | should receive 300 to 300 pounds , of an 3-12-12 or 0-14-7 per acre. In some cases, especially on sands , and mucs. straight potash may be ’ most profitable while on acid soil j that has been limed recently, and where the land has received liberal ( applications of manure, phosphate may be most profitable. The use of nitrogen for alfalfa is seldom , profitable if either the seed to be planted has been well inoculated or the soil has grown good stands of inoculated plants previously. , o THRIFTY PIGS * By L. E. ARCHBOLD County Agent No animal suffers more from the heat of summer than the hog. Excessive heat causes reStlensness and slow gains for the amount of feed fed. Therefore, an abundance of cooling shade is needed. Dense shade by trees gives the best protection.

If the weather is good, leave off during the last few nights before moving the plants. EVERY Improvement that you have on your grounds is really an investment that can be measured in dollars and cents of increased value to the property. »» • • MAKE THE CARE of your garden a part of the day’s routine. A few moments each day will then be sufficient. •• • • LIME IS NOT a plant food. Its value is in correcting a sour or acid soil condition and in making clayey soils looser and more pliable. IF YOU HAVE an open fireplace, use oak and save the ashes. Hardwood ashes are an excellent fertilizer and when purchased are expensive. •» « • FROGS and toads, hornets, garden spider, dragon flies, are some of the desirable friends in your garden for they feed on both the adults and the larvae of harmful forms. •• • • ARSENATE OF LEAD !« the only really successful preventative for Japanese Beetle. Before using, get detailed instructions as it is very poisonous. EVERGREENS should have plenty Os water. Spray the foliage frequently to wash off the dust and dirt and to keep down the attacks of the red spider. •* ♦ ♦ USE AN oiled rag to wipe off your tools after using. The slight filament of oil will generally keep them from rusting.

i no trees in the pasture, a good ■[shade can be made by setting posts | about six to eight feet apart to ’ form squares then connecting them : 1 with joists about four feet above | ’.the ground. Lay boards across the, I joists to support straw or brush to 1 mae shade. Use discarded woven " wire fencing to keep the wind from ' moving the straw. A pig requires ' at least seven square feet of space ' in the shade. Make shades large I enough to accomodate all of the ’ pigs without crowding. ’. Along with an abundance of 1 ; shade plenty of good drinking watI I er is just as necessary for getting * economical gains on pigs as as ’ sufficient feed. During the summer a growing pig will drink ap 1 proximately one gallon of water | ‘ daily. Watering hogs in troughs is, ' not a good practice in hot weather. ’ Fresh water streams are good. An automatic water fountain kept clean is the next best arrangement. > A pig drinks about 500 pounds of water for each 100 pounde of grain. o — HORSESENSE Shaggy winter coats of cows are prone to pick up bedding, dust, and dirt, some of which becomes i dislodged during milking and falls | into the milk.

SPRAYS ADVISED FOB SCAB CUBE San Jose Scale Is Reported To Be On Increase Here ——— The edvanced development of scab organism especially Sam Jose in Southern Indiana orchards is indicative of a danger of an increase of infection in the northern part of the state, authorities have announced. It is probable that scab sprays should be used as late as the early dormant stage, which is reported earlier than normal this year. In Northern Indiana dormant sprays, if oil is to be used, should be applied immediately, while the buds are still dormant to insure a sufficient period between the oil spray and the sulphur scab spray. Uncle Jim i I M-Jfl —-n It takes nature from 400 to 500 years to produce one inch of top 1 soil, but through improper soil management that inch of soil may ; be removed by erosion within two to three years. Gullies, in all probability, did not start until half or ' more of the top soil had been removed by sheet erosion. More and more people are realizing how fast good land goes after erosion once starts.

Mil" 1 "® 11 V Hr I' mhißH gSSBg I Dairy Farmers’ Income Sets New High CASH income to farmers for milk production totaled $128,000,000 more the past year than in 1935. These are figures from the Milk Industry Foundation for the nation. In the Cloverleaf territory farm milk income has shown a particularly notable increase. In this territory Cloverleaf Creameries, provides a ready cash market for as much milk and cream as the farmers can produce. The Cloverleaf policy of square dealing—fair and accurate milk and butter fat weights and tests, and prompt cash payment of full market price—has won the lasting friendship of thousands of farmers. You can depend upon Cloverleaf year in and year out. | SELL YOUR MILK AND CREAM TO Cloverleaf Creameries DECATUR, INDIANA ■—a—i—— i —m wibiiiii—!■■!■

A sulphur spray shortly follow-' j ed by an oil spray is likely to cause severe burning. Where a reasonable time has not elapsed, it is advisable to substitute a dormant Hine-sulphur spray for the usual dormant oil spray, using the liquid concentrate lime-sulphur spray at the rate of 12 gallons to each 100 gallons of spray.
