I but also other vitamins and min- ; orals. "A simple ration which will proi vide all the necessary minerals and I vitamins can be made up* by mixi ins 10 parts meat scrap, 5 parts dried skim or buttermilk. 5 parts soybean oil meal. 10 parts leafy alfalfa meal and 1 part salt with AS parts of ground grains and j wheat by-products.

G. ' Sherwood, Extension pathologist for the College of Agriculture, West Virginia University. The discoloration of these products, however, he explains, is tn accordance I with the following announcement by the Agricultural Insecticide and Fungicide Association. “In the interests of public health and for the protection of users of agricultural arsenical insecticides, this Industry has, by voluntary agreement, adopted and will use a pink coloring in all white arsenical products. I "It is the belief of the Industry that this action represents a constructive effort by the Industry to j eliminate as far as possible the hazard of mistaken identity of the products and that iu time the pink color will become as a distinctive warning of the pois--1 onous nature of the material.” Has Practical Value Since this change in the customary appearance of tiie arsenical products commonly used as agri- ' cultural insecticides may possibly ■ lead to some confusion. Mr. SherI wood emphasizes that the discoloring agent added to these products ! has no effect whatever on their insecticidal value- Such colored products are, therefore, to be us- : ed according to the recommendai tions which have applied to all arsenicals in their naturally hwite I condition. There will, however, be an adj vantage in having them colored pink, he points out, as the color! i will serve as a ready means of identification, so that they will I not be mistaken for flour, lime or other white powdery substances, as ! has happened when these arsenical spray materials have been carI ried over from one season to ani other and the label lost off the container. ■ - -o - Uncle Jim Says I tlisd (II I i !fe| -4= k — ■ uitss If Ji ikjfy Ji 1 ' “I am proud to join with my neighbors in administering our I Agricultural Conservation Program.

— - EXHAUSTIVE FARMING DESTROYS THE LAND ■ Soil Loss ptf yaar (ron» p»r Acre ) # •« » W ■ «0 SO K> 0012 * SWtvUfi, Art G w Continuous row crops and unprotected fallow result in costly soil losses. When soil is lost at the rate shown in the chart, erosion requires 18 years to remove 7 inches of top soil from land in unprotected fallow, 44 years to remove 7 inches from land in continuous row crops, 96.000 years to remove the same amount of soil from land in grass, and 548,000 years to lose 7 inches of soil from land in virgin woods.

FARM INCOME IS REPORTED LOWER Most Regions Had Slightly Lower Gross Incomes Last November Receipts from the sale of principal farm products in November 1937 were lower than a year earlier in four of the six major geographical divisions of the country, it was reported today by the Bureou of Agricultural Economics. As reported on December 22, cash income from all farm marketings for the United States as a whole, in November totaled $713,000,000 and was 5 per cent below the 1749.000,000 received in November 1936. The State estimates of receipts are based on the marketings of 33 of the mors iipWlUWli farm commodities, which measure approximately 93 percent of the annual United States cash income from all farm products. Two Regions Increase The North Atlantic and South i Central States were the only two regions to record higher incomes from sales of principal farm products this November over November 1936. In each of the other four regions, the November receipts from sales were lower than a year earlier, the decreases ranging from 1 percent in the South Atlantic States to 8 percent hi the West North Central States- Lower grain prices and smaller marketings of hogs and cattle were chiefly reI sponsible for the decreases in re- ' celpts in the North Central States November compared with a year earlier. In the South Atlantic States the smaller receipts from cotton, citrus fruits, and grains contributed to the November decline In farm income, while in the Western States significant decreases were recorded in the receipts from potatoes, cotton lint, fruits, and sugar beets. From October to November, cash income from marketings in the United States declined by a greater than usual amount, and as indicated on the accompanying chart this decline was largely in the North Central States where mark etings of grains and meat animals decreased by a larger than usual amount. Crops Income Down Income from crops tn all States in November totaled 4 per cent below November 1936, while income from livestock and livestock products was down 5 percent. In the I South Central States receipts from crops were significantly larger this November as a result of larger in-; come from cotton. While receipts, from sales of cotton were lower, this November, because of consid-! erably lower prices than last year, < income from cotton was material ly supplemented by Government loans on the 1937 cotton. These I loans totaled $81,000,000 in Nov-

| ember, and were made on 1,852,000, bales of cotton. In the November receipts from sales of principal I farm products, the cotton loans F have been added to the receipts I from sales. East North Central States Michigan was the only East' • North Central State to record an! increase in receipts from sales of principal farm products this Nov-1 ember over a year earlier. In each of the other States, smaller re-' celpts from grains, principally r corn, as well as from potatoes,; more than offset increases tn the region as a whole, receipts from ' sales of livestock items. For the' the sales of farm products were 4 per cent lower this November and ■ smaller Government payments further reduced the income to 6 per 1 cent below November 1936. For the first 11 months of 1937, receipts ’ including Governmemt payments i for the East North Central States ’ were 11 per cent larger than in the' same period of 1936, and were te r|ppr in each of the Ctates by gains ranging from 7 per cent in Illinois to 20 per cent in Michigan. \ o HORSE 1 *'O J/Sr ' SETNSE Have you noticed any hogs “slow. 1 or off-feed"? Watch your drove I carefully each day for any evidence ing any signs of disease until they 1 of sickness. Isolate the ones show--1 can be examined and the necessary treatment administered. ' When laying and breeding poultry flocks cannot have access to direct sunshine, some form of fish oil should be supplied in their ration. Forty year old apple trees, If well kept, are beautiful to look at, but are costly to spray and pick. Many weanling colls get unthrifty in spite of good feeding during their first winter. Purdue extension specialists say oftentimes a treatment for internal parasites not later than January, given by a competent veterinarian, will work wonders. Success in farming is possible only when the farmer habitually spends less than he takes in. Many farmers are ruined during periods of good prices because they are not careful to observe this rule. Important dairy rule: feed the i same number of pounds of grain' per day that each cow produces ! pounds of butterfat per week. The Indiana seed law does not ( prohibit the sale of cheap interior | seed when such seed is tagged cor- : rectly. Therefore read the tag carei fully before buying the seed. ! Further information on any of’

the foregoing topics may be obtain-; ed by writing to the Department of Agricultural Extenaton, Purdue I University, Lafayette, Indiana. WATER PUMPING IS NOW CHEAP Stock Farms Need Economical Pumping Os M ater By Electricity Urbana, 111., Jan. 14 —With costs averaging 1 cent for 100 gallons, water pumping is about the cheapest service farmers receive from electrification, it was explained by R. R. Parks, extension specialist in agricultural engineering, College of Agriculture, University of Illinois, in his talk today, before closing sessions of the 41st annual Farm and Home Week program at the college. “Water is valuable for any farm, but to the stock farmer, dairyman, i poultryman or gardener, a big sup--1 ply of fresh clean water is indis- : pensable,” he said. “The hydro- ! pneumatic water system is the | most popular in use on farms toI day. For the home a 250-gallon-an-hour pump usually supplies the needs, but the stockman likes to , have a pump with a capacity of 350 gallons an hour supplemented by a small pressure tank “In addition the dairyman is especially interested in water heating. Many dairymen are heating their water electrically. The storage type heater works well in supplying hot water for the dairy . house and for domestic use. Dairymen who do not want to Invest in a storage heater may bus an immersion heater and install it in ’ the bottom of the washing vat. “Immersion heaters heat just the amount of water needed and to i the exact temperature required.' However, with either system progressive dairymen are finding the advantages of cleanliness plus the . convenience of electricity quite an asset to a w-ell organized farm.” | Referring to water systems for the farm home. Parks pointed out that only one of 20 farm homes in Illinois have complete systems in- 1 eluding a septic tank. Furthermore I only about one in three have a ; hand pump, sink and drain in the i kitchen. A complete modern plumb- 1 ing system installed costs from , S3OO to S4OO, but its value can t hardly be measured in dollars and 1 cents, Parks said d
