The leaflet is of pocket-size and the "practical pig pointers" are simply stated and enumerated, there being 16 in all. Among hte topics listed are: essentials in raising fall pigs, the farrowing quarters, feeding sows at farrow-, ing time, minerals for sows, feeding young pigs, the self feeder, winter feeding, sleeping quarters, intestinal round worms, fall pig notes, and marketing fall pigs. Also, a list of other Purdue bulletins oil raising pigs is given.

INSECT PESTS DAMAGE FLOCKS Parasites Best Controlled By Preventative Measures Every year poultrymen in the United States pay a toll of millions of dollars to lice and mites points out Leonard Haseman of the Missouri College of Agriculture. Next to poultry diseases and ' certain internal parasites, tluese pests are the worst enemies of poultry, the losses being due large-1 1 ly to loss of flesh, slow maturing, and reduction in egg production. In controlling these pests it is I best to use preventive measures where possible. In adding birds to ' a clean flock, therefore, the new birds should be free of lice. Even with the most careful watching. ! how-ever, and with the use of the best approved practices lice are sure to show up in any flock and should be treated before they have a chance to become abundant. There are more than a dozen different species of lice in Missouri on chickens alone, and the most common treatment for them is the use of sodium fluoride on | the birds. This serves as a stomach poison for the lice, and if properly applied causes the birds no. harm. To apply it in warm weather, the birds should be dipped in a solution which includes one, ounce of sodium fluoride to a gallon of lukewarm water. In cool weather it is better to apply the : dry powder by the pinch method, making sure that some of it is worked into the skin. In either dipping or treating with the dry powder, the birds should be handled carefUllyt 'and cart> taken to avoid getting the powder, in the air since it is irritating to j the throat and naairila. Another very satisfactory treat- j ment used in recent years is the application of 40% nicotine sulphate painted onto the perches, just before roosting time. It is ■ usually necessary to repeat treat ment once or twice at weekly intervals. and good ventilation must ! be observed. i oH<^ E * SENSE September is the time to select gilts for the breeding herd. Broody gilts that have a good growth and come from large litters, usually make prolific sows. Fall is usually bull-buying season. Make your selections carefully. A poor sire can break a dairyman while a good sire will make a dairyman. A hot oven may get a roast to the family dinner table in a shorter time, but keeping the oven at a low, constant temperature over a longer period of time will insure a tastier meat prepared at a lowand its underground root-stock system, Indiana farmers may find their fight against this “growing enemy" more effective if they have a copy of a newly published leafThistle,” let, No. 211, “Perennial SowThistle,” which may be obtained from any Indiana county agent or from Purdue University's Botany department.

Youth Activities at Seventh World’s Poultry Congress

■ »U.--'-I - ■ 1

Youth will have its share in the Seventh World’s Poultry Congress and Exposition to be held in Cleveland, Ohio, July 28 to August 7, 1939. The Hall of Youth, pictured above, has been set aside for the young people. Elaborate programs are being arranged to fill every hour of the day, every 1 day. There will be educational meetings, entertainment, poultry judging and poultry demonstrations, recreational periods, and supervised visits to various sections of the huge exposition—the aim being to give future poultrymen an invaluable perspective of the possibilities the poultry industry holds. Active plans are under way for attendance of groups representing 4-H Clubs, Future Farmers of America, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and many other youth organizations from all sections of this country. It is also ‘ probable that young people’s delegations representing many of our overseas neighbors will take an active part in the youth program at th* Congress. I

Thirty-four times as much fer-1 1 tilizef was sold in Indiana in 1937 i 1 as in 1883, when the first inspec-' ' tion report was issued by the State ' | Chemist, whose headquarters are 1 I now at Purdue University.

E. Hutchins. | member of the horticulture staff at University Farm, St. Paul. The three most important sac- 1 tors in successful storage are proper temperature, humidity and j ventilation. Usually the basement ■ of the modern house is too warm and dry for good storage. A sep- ■ arate, double-walled room equipped with a tight door to provide insulation will allow successful stor- i ing. The first requirement for vege-1 tables is that they be of good qual- 1 ity, free from disease, mechanical or insect injury, medium sized, [ clean and dry. Root crops must ■ not be too old, for they may be- j come too woody and lose flavor I with age. Cabbages, onions, squash- ■ es and pumpkins keep best when I i fully mature. Potatoes for stor-1 j age keep best if harvested after j the vines have died. ‘ After the tops of root crops

FARM PROFITS ARE EXAMINED Records Show Average Farm Earned $1,130 In Year 1937 Lafayette, Ind.. Sept. 30 — Interesting facts and figures on the organization and income of 767 I Indiana farms on which records' were kept during 1937 in co-opera-tion with Purdue University’s I farm management department i were revealed here today. Last year the average labor in-1 come of these 767 farms, which j are considered above the average I since farmers interested in their : businesses to keep records do a better job of farming and have a higher income than those who do not, was sll3O. Labor income is' the amount left for the operator’s , labor and management after subtracting from the total cash income, the cash operating expenses and depreciation charges, unpaid family labor, and five per cent interest on the total farm investment. Labor Income Changes In 1936 the labor income for these farms averaged S2OBI petfarm. Lower grain prices during the latter half of 1937 and higher operating expenses were given as the chief reasons for the lower 1937 farm labor income. Over a nine ye.ar period, these farms have I have been cut off at one-half or ■ three-quarters of an inch, they may be stored in moist sand, sphagnum moss, or peat. Onions and potatoes are best stored in slatted crates, bins or shelves to insure good ventilation. Squash, pumpkin, beans and peas may be stored in the attic provided the temperature does not go below freezi ing. I Extension Circular 43, “Home l Vegetable Storage,” has valuable i I suggestions about nome storage, ' emphasizing inexpensive means ; that may be used on all farms and i homes. This circular may be obtained free of charge from a county extension agent, or from the | Bulletin Office, University Farm, St. Paul, Minnesota.

' had an average farm labor inj come of $782 per farm and varied j from a loss of $875 in 1931 to u plus record high of S2OBI in 1936. Both farm receipts and operating expenses have risen on these farms since 1933. Gross farm receipts per tillable acre averaged $26 in 1937 and operating expenses j averaged sl6 per tillable acre. In i 1933 farm receipts nveraged sl7 i and operating expenses sll per tillable acre. $5,000 Gross Income The gross cash income on these farms averaged a little more than , SSOOO per farm and the farm in- ! vestment equalled approximately l $20,000. This is more or less typi-' cal of the general Indiana livestock farm situation where the gross sales amount to SSOOO. About S3OOO went for cash expenses and depreciation charges, SIOOO for interest at five per cent on invest-1 ment, whether mortgaged or not, ' and approximately SIOOO for the
