Legume Pastures Increase Butterfat Yields In Fall Months — Dairy cows having access to leg- i ' ume pastures during the fall pro-1 duce approximately nine pounds I more butterfat per cow per month ' than cows pasturing on blue grass, according to data obtained by 1 Ralph Conder, cow tester for the I Grant-Madison-Wabash Dairy Herd , Improvements Association, from the monthly herd records for 1936. I The superior feeding value of alfalfa and clover as a pasture over ( blue grass at this season of the year is not surprising. Cows which ] are capable of high production I prove much more economical pro- ■ ducers when they receive enough • to feed to maintain their bodies | and leave a surplus daily for pro-1 duction. This blue grass pastures] fail to do during a large part of ; each pasture season. Many successful dairymen find I it profitable to set aside a few I acres of ground each year for the production of some supplementary; pasture crop such as alfalfa I which may provide a hay crop from the first cutting), sudan grass, lespedeza. or rye for late fall and early i spring pastures. Although legumes take first place as a pasture, at this season ! of the year, dairymen whose cropI ping system does not provide a i sufficient acreage for this purpose may find a very suitable substi- ] tute in rye. Sown the latter part lof August it will provide grazing for six to eight weeks beginning i early in October. Some dairymen ■ hesitate to use rye as a pasture because of the danger of imparting flavors to the milk. When concentrates are fed and the herd is removed to another field several hours before milking the crop may be grazed without fear of “off-flav-ored milk.”

SALTS FAIL TO KILL BEETLES Epsom Salts Found Useless In Mexican Bean Beetle Control Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate l will not control the Mexican bean beetle. Recent tests by the ' Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, U. S. Department of Agriculture, confirm this firiding made about ten years ago. At that time a wide-spread notion—unconfirmed by research —that Epsom salt was an effective insecticide for the Mexican bean beetle led bean growers, especially in the South, to squander a great deal of money on It. The earlier tests showed that beetle injury in bean plots treated with Epsom salt was as great as — if not greater than—that in untreated check plots. The tests just completed show’ed that beetles feeding on bean foliage treated with Epsom salt suffered no ill effects, even when the quantity of the salt used was one hundred times the quantity that is fatal when calcium arsenate is used. I The only glausible reason advan-, ced for the sudden popularity of I Epsom salt as a bean beetle ex-| terminator, the entomologists say,■ is that the beetle life found on (treated plants was motionless.! These motionless forms, however, j were not dead larvae, but qufes-i cent pupae, into which the larvae | changed soon after the spraying i period. Derris or cube preparations — made from foreign-grown plants—give better control of the Mexican bean beetle than anything else yet developed. Direction for the use of these preparations may be ob-l tained from county agricultural' I agents. State extension services.! state experiment stations, or the I U. S. Department of Agriculture, I in Washington. D. C. CONTEST WILL BE HEID SOON World’s Champions Horsepulling Contest Is Announced Troy.

Interest Is Shown In Soy Beans Car To Be In City, October 2

Much interest is being shown in 1i the afproaching soy bean field day to he held here Saturday Oct-, I ober 2. Purdue University, the Cloverleaf Dairy, the Pennsylvania 11 Railroad and the Central Soya Co. ; are co-operating to make the occasion a memorable one. The program includes inspection | of the railroad's soy bean exhibit | car. which is being sent here espe- i cially for the occasion, a visit to I the Central Soya Co. and Central, Sugar Co., free luncheon, inspec-| lion of soy bean test plots and ; brief talks by experts from Pur-| due. The exhibit is housed in an air- 1 conditioned passenger coach of the ‘ Pennsylvania Railroad, especially i fitted and equipped for the pur-| pose. It is being sponsored by the American Soybean Association in | cooperation with the United States I Department of Agriculture, various ■ State agricultural colleges, the National Soybean Processors Association and the Pennsylvania Rail-1 road, which serves a territory in I which soybean production is meet-| | ing with conspicious success. Started in New Jersey . The exhibition tour started in i | New Jersey and demonstrations I will conclude about mid-Septemb-i er.

and Virginia. Cultivation for more than 50 centuries in the Orient, where primitive methods of production, harvesting and marketing still prevail, soybeans are now being grown throughout most of the agricultur- ! al territory served by the Pennsyl- | vania Railroad and by most mod- ' ern methods of intensive prodnei tion. In addition to acreage harvI ested for hay, the output of the j United States has risen to more | than 45.000,000 bushels of the ‘ beans annually, of which 85 perI cent goes into commercial use. I Feed manufacturers,, food proces- ■ sors, paint producers and found- ■ ries uses the greatest portion of I the crop. The air-conditioned Pennsylvania Railroad coach housing the ex- ! hibition is itself a demonstration i of the industrial uses of soybeans. ■ "Soybean products from the roof . to the rails” is the story told by the car and its contents.

Upon entering the car the visitor turns a knob made from soybeans and as he steps into the interior his eye is attracted by an arch supported by large columns ] made with soybeans. The car has been finished throughout with plywood put together with soybean glue, and the visitor learns that 50,000 acres annually are required to grow and harvest the soybeans necessary tor the production of glue for the country's huge plywood industry. ——o Poultry Meeting To Be Held At Purdue The annual educational meeting for Hoosier poultry people is planned for September 29. 30 and October 1 at the Purdue University poultry building, according to an announcement made today by Wm.

The meeting is open to the public and usually attracts poultry raisers, hatchery operators, produce dealers, and turkey growers from every county In the state. The program for the three-day! meeting will center upon the presj ent day problems of the poultry industry. Breed improvement, disease control method*, feeding suggestions, management and marketing problems are among the subjects that will be featured. SNAKEROOT IS DANGER HERE — - Livestock Threatened By Snakeroot Found In Wooded Areas White snakeroot. the cause of trembles, a fatal disease of sheep, cattle and horses, and the plant that poisons milk and causes a human disease known as milk sickness, is common in woodland , pastures in all parts of Indiana. White snakeroot is a beautiful I plant that thrives only in the wood-1 ed areas and is rarely found in I the open or on prairie land. The plant varies in height from two to four feet and has broad leaves growing opposite on the stem. The leaves have three distinct parallel veins. The under surface of the leaf posseses a luster when compared with the dull upper surface The flowers are white and clustered at the top and seldom appear until early September and remain throughout October. The plant is a perennial with fibrous and mat ! ted roots. There are a number of closely related species, all harmless. as far as known, from which snakeroot can be positively identified only by the combination of characters mentioned. The symptons of white snake-i root poisoning exhibited by live-1 stock are general listlessness, foil-1 owed by violent spasms of tremb-. ling, constipation, foul breath, a; stiffened gait, throat paralysis, weakness and death from exhaustion. Active symptons are usually precipitated by violent exercise. The typical symptons of milk sickness in the human are severe intestinal paralysis accompanied by vomiting, foul breath and occasional delirium without rise in I temperature. It is said that many I early pioneers, including the moth-

PAGE FIVE

er of Abraham Lincoln, died as a result of contracting the sickness. As soon as livestock show symptons of white snakeroot poisoning they should be changed to an open pasture Immediately. There is not a great deal that can be done for animals that reached the trembi ling stage aside from the admtnij stratlon of purgatives. It often helps to keep the animals as quiet as possible avoiding unnecessary excitement or exercise. Snakeroot .can be eradicated by hand pulling, which can be done beat In the fall when the plants are In blossom and can easily be detected In the woods. Clearing away the underbrush and opening | up the woods to permit sunlight I to penetrate will make conditions I unfavorable for the growth of the poisoning plant. o — H ®- E /W _U'Lz • v SCTSE Improved farm leases mean better tenant farming and greater profits for both landlord and tenant, according to authorities of the department of agricultural eco- , nomjcs, College of Agriculture, j University of Illinois. Sweet corn may be used for silage in the same way as field corn, according to Circular No. 463. "Silage Crops tor Dairy Cattle," published by the College of Agricul- ! ture, University of Illinois. Sowing oats thickly after leveling and tramping the silage is one way of preventing spoilage of silage. Other methods are described In Circular No. 463, “Silage Crops for Dairy Cattle.” which may be obtained by writing the College, of 1 Agriculture, University of Illinois at Urbana. I Cheaper roasts such as those from the chuck, cross arm, rump or round are best cooked at pot roasts. The surface of the piece is browned all over in fat. Then water is added and the roast is covered and simmered until tender. There will be about 13 per cent more pears produced this year I than in 1936. Bartletts and Kieffi' ers are most ptrpnlar for canning, ' I while the little Seckel pears are -just right size for pickling.
