adequate for early potatoes and 8 to 12 applications will suffice for late varieties. It is important to start the spraying program as soon as the beetles appear; this will prevent egg deI position and will result in fewer | beetles later in the season. It is of i equal importance that the spray j cover both the upper and lower I sides of the leaves, inasmuch as I the flea beetles feed upon both sur- ' faces. I The best spray mixture to use I is 4 pounds of copper sulphate ! (bluestone), 6 pounds of lime, 2 i pounds of calcium arsenate, and j 50 gallons of water.

PROTEIN FEED VALUE VARIES Soybeans Make Best Vegetable Protein Supplement To Grain The value of proteins in the rations of farm animals has been recognized for a long time. The variation in the nutritive value of proteins from different sources, although of equal importance, has not yet been given much consideration. It is unnecessary for every protein in the ration to be of high quality. What is important Is that the combined proteins of the entire ration be of high quality, Several proteins of poor quality fed together may result in the tfital protein of the ration being of excellent value, since the deficiencies of one protein may be made up by another. It is quite common that when more than one source of protein is fed the result is better than when any one of the proteins us- j ed is fed alone. t The proteins of the cereal grain and their by-products are not of very high quality. Those of corn ate not as good as those of wheat, oats, or barley. The proteins of the legume seed vary to a surprisingly degree in' nutrition value. Soybean proteiir is about the best protein of vege- j table origin known and soybean i oil meal is an excellent protein to supplement a ration made up otherwise of cereal grains. On the other band, the proteins of most beans, cowpeas, and lentils are of poor quality. Linseed and cottonseed oil meal proteins make good supplements to the proteins of a cereal grain ration. The proteins of legume, pastures and roughage are of good quality for such stock as cattle, sheep, or horses. However, the pig is not fitted for the consumption of large amounts of such feeds. The proteins of non-legume hays may be of equal value to the protein of legume hay although they occur in smaller amounts than the latter. The protein of animal origin, such as those found in milk, tankage, fish meals, and the like, are usually of very excellent quality although this may be affffected by the material used and the method of manufacture. If much gristle, “stick", or fish heads are used in the manufacture of these products the value of the proteins is reduced. Again, if high temperatures are used in the manufacture the values of the proteins are liable to be reduced. The solution of tfie entire problem is the feeding of a ration containing varied sources of protein, according to C. H. Kick of the Animal Industry Department of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station. Q— Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

MILK INCREASE IS ANNOUNCED Sales Os Fluid Milk Reported Larger This Year Than Last Dairymen and retail distributors should keep a close check on the flavor of the milk they market at this time of year, and if abnormal flavors are present find out tho cause and try to eliminate them from the milk as soon as possible, says E. R. Garrison of the Missouri College of Agriculture. It is also a good policy to hold a bottle of milk of each day's production in a refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours and then taste it to learn it any flavors develop during this period of time under the conditions that milk is held by the consumer. The composition and wholesomness of market milk are largely controlled by state dairy laws and city milk ordinances, which specify the minimum amount of fat and solids-not-fat that it must contain and prescribe under which it must be produced and handled. Palatability, however, is not easily subject to legal definition and regulation and is therefore largely left at the option of the producer to control. If the per capita consumption of milk is to be maintained at a high level, it Is very essential that the milk supplied daily to consumers possess a uniform and pleasing flavor. The presence of undesirable flavors always causes a reduction in milk consumption and consequently a decrease in the Income of dairy farmers. Several distinct flavors are sometimes found in milk, some of which may be present when it is drawn from the cow, while the others develop only during subsequent handling and storage. Some of the flavors are more common during certain seasons of the year than at other times, and some flavors are more' characteristic of raw milk than of pasteurized milk. With the approach of hot weather, prompt and adequate cooling of the milk should be given careful attention by dairymen in order to protect the flavor and quality of the milk produced. When the air is cool during the night, it is a relatively easy and simple task to cool milk with well water to a temperature low enough th prevent any significant increase in bacterial count during the 12 to 14 hours before the milk is delivered. During hot weather, however, the problem of cooling milk is not so simple and requires special attention if off-flavored milk due to bacterial growth is to be prevented.

CANNING SEASON IS COMING SOON Preparations Should Be Made For Checking Equipmemnt With the canning season near at hand, the mobilization of canning equipment is of immediate importance. Save time—do not wait until canning morning to check equipment, advises Miss Eva I. Buel, extension nutritionist of Purdue University. Now is the time to make the year's canning budget.

should lay plans for the actual canning season. Jars: AH jars should have been thoroughly washed, dried and stored in a clean place aa they were emptied. Check the number of empty ones, and determine the number of new ones that will be needed. Wire clamp jars should all be tested. For tightening, slip the wire out and press down middle with thumbs, then snap back into place. Some jars require new caps each year. In these cases, do not try to use old ones. Rubbers: Use only new rubbers. The loss of a single jar, due to an old rubber, will justify the purchase. Tin Cans have many advantages when large quantities of food are canned. The use of tin cans the second time is not very successful. Pressure Cooker: The easiest, safest and most satisfactory method for processing non-acid vegetables and meats is the pressure cooker method. The eighteen to thirty quart capacity canners are the most economical sizes for home use. Larger ones are too heavy for lifting and the smaller ones are intended for meal cooking, rather than canning. It's immaterial whether the top I is held on by lugs, clamps or a strong band. The top must be fitted with a petcock safety valve and pressure gaugs. The petcock, and safety valve are sometimes combined. The three instruments should be kept in perfect working condition at all times. All parts of a pressure cooker should be kept clean. In fact, absolute cleanliness applies to all equipment for efficiency.

MILK SHOULD BE OBSERVED Flavor May Deteriorate During Warm Weather Months Daily average sales of fluid milk in April exceeded the same month a year ago and the preceding month this year, according to The monthly reports from 133 leading markets to the Milk Industry Foundation. The inci*ease in daily average sales for April was 1.13 per cent over April 1938. April daily average sales totaled 6,343,763 quarts compared with 6,172,653 quarts in April 1936. Daily average sales for April were 2.7 per cent higher than Mar. of this year. Employment and payrolls for the month increased over April 1936. Employment was up 2.52 per cent and payrolls 4.7 per cent. Daily average milk production per farm increased 8.5 per cent over the same month last year. - Fort Wayne Contends Utility Tax Illegal Fort Wayne, Ind., May 28—(UP) — The city of Fort Wayne had on file in circuit court today a petition for a permanent injunction to restrain Clifford IL Borgman, the county treasurer, from collecting $81,743.83 in utilitiice taxon which have accumulated since the 1933 state legislature approved an act reqquiring city-owned utilities to pay assessments. The city, In Its petit ion, contends the tax is illegal. Ohe state supreme court held the 1933 law constitutional after hearing similar suits filed by South Bend, Elkhart, and Frankfort. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur 11 Uncle Jim Says | I Strip cropping, contour farming, and terracing, all of which imply conducting the tillage operations crosswise of the slopes rather than up and down them, may sound difficult to some folks, but they keep soil where It belongs. Farming top soil in this manner is better than farming sub-soil in straight rows.

PARASITES ARE GAUSE OF LOSS Many Poultry Diseases Due To Internal Parasites I n — Urbana, 111., May 28 —From the standpoint of losses in dollars and cents, by far the most important diseases attacking poultry flocks today are caused by internal parasites, according to animal pathologists, University of Illinois, College of Agriculture. In 6.800 birds submitted from farm flocks for autopsy examina- , tions at the diagnostic laboralor- • les of the University of Illinois, ■ 7,951 disease conditions were found > of which 34.4 per cent were attri- > butable to internal parasites. This i Is reported in Circular No. 469, • “Internal Parasites of Poultry,” > which has just been issued by the • college. "The most expensive poultry houses, ventilation systems, equip- • ment and breeding stock can not i Insure freedom from internal para- . sites,” the circular explains. ’‘Such investments may in Tact be a tot- , I al loss unless proper management II methods are followed. i j "Clean houses, clean ranges. ;' clean and properly balanced ra- ■ tions, pure water and proper disposal of sick and dead fowls, as i well as the avoidance of overcrdVvd- . ing, are important factors in the control of intestinal parasites. Al-

though medicines may be helpful in the suppression and control of some parasites, reinfestation may occur promptly if treated fowls arc allowed to run on infested premia-, es. “Giving remedies on suspicion | for undiagnosed poultry diseases ■ often proves an expensive practice. [ Local veterinarians can identify i the parasites and suggest helpful control measures. Most veterinar- i lans now offer free diagnostic service to poultry owners.” After describing and illustrating the different internal parasites, the circular shows many of the inter-' mediate hosts and outlines sample, j inexpensive and practical methods of control and prevention. The best control of intestinal parasites has been obtained by those owners who have relied exclusively on preventive measures ! rather than on curative measures.

PREPARED LAND IS NECESSARY {Soybean Land Needs Attion Before Planting Time Successful growing of noybeans include attention to the preparation of the land, time of planting, method of planting, rate of plantI ing, and inoculation, says B. M. I King of the Missouri College of I Agriculture. Land in ordinary condition will require about the same preparation for soybeans as for corn. Fall or early spring plowing is best but not essential, though the land should be plowed if possible at least three weeks before the crop is to be planted. Harrowing the plowed land is beneficial. The final step In the preparation of the seedbed should be a thorough disking and harrowing immediately before planting, to kill weeds and make the surface smooth and mellow. Land that is naturally looee and mellow, and reasonably free from trash, need not be plowed, but can be put in good condition by deep, thorough disking early in the spring and again just before planting. This will save some labor as compared with the job of preparation that includes plowing. After either plowing or disking, the spring growth of weeds must I be kept down. Generally {the crop should be planted between May 25 and June 15 in the northern third of the state, May 20 to June 10 in the central third, and May 15 to June 5 in the southern third. Soybeans considerable cold—tn I fact the young plants are not killj ed by light frost. But there are no

HORSESENSE Time lost during rush periods often i> suits from poor planning when there Is “nothing to do.” Diversified crops and livestock help to distribute the amount of lab"’- required evenly throughout the year. Small gullies which start in plowed fields should be filled with straw or similar material at once to avoid a more serious erosion. A clover crop that is pastured adds far more ’ us and nitrogen to the soil than crop that is removed for hay. Some Indiana farmers receive from 25 to 40 per cent more for their hogs by marketing them at the right time, according to Purdue University marketing specialists. That is excellent farm relief. Farm records are quite as essential in prosperity as in depression. They point out opportunity for added profits on your farm. Most farm families produce 40 to 60 per cent of their food supply. This is a real boost for the family budget. As yet, nothing has taken the place of swine sanitation. A clean house, a clean sow, a clean trip to pasture, and a lean pasture wifi mean healthy, tin iffy, cheapgaining pigs.
