to ski, competent instructors are on hand. Hein Wahl, formerly an instructor in the Bavarian Tyrol, Is one of the instructors. There are I approximately 4o miles of wind-i ing ski trails in this park. For those who enjoy tobaggon-! ing, a toboggan slide has been built by the state department and will be available this winter. Still more enjoyment can be had from ice-boating or skate sailing with 35 miles of shore lines. The Dunnes state park also has a great variety of winter sports, i The dunes are especially attractive in the winter. SUGAS IS SUE JR EXPERTS STATE No Difference Found In Cane Or Beet Sugar Sweetness Saginaw, Michigan — "It has been popularly and mistakenly supposed in the past that beet sugar is not as sweet as other kinds of granulated sugar," Arthur A. Schupp, executive secretary of the Farmers and Manufacturers Beet ! Sugar Association, said today in | 1 an interview. "The basis for this : erroneous belief cannot be found. I since authorities on the subject I know that all kinds of sucrose, I which is the chemical name for commercial beet or cane sugar, have identical chemical formulae." “This is positive proof that both kinds of commercial granulated I rugar, beet and cane, are the same in all respects, including sweeten-

LEGUMES SAID TD DE WORTHY Keller Beeson Reports On Lime-Loving Plants At Short Course “Lime loving plants like alfalfa and sweet clover are justifying the expense in making conditions favorable for their growth” declared K. E. Beeson, of the Purdue Agricultural Extension Department at the Monroeville short course recently. Both require an equally high lime content of the soil and use the same inoculation, but sweet clover will grow under less fertile conditions than alfalfa. It also tolerates a soil that is too wet for alfalfa and so may be used under conditions where it is not yet possible to produce alfalfa. Alfalfa is gaining in popularity rapidly because of its general usefulness. Its drouth resistance and because farmers have learned that it is generally superior to red clover in yielding ability, pasture value and fertility effect. Alfalfa is generally being sown alone with or without a nurse crop, but many farmers are beginning to use it in their rotations much as they have used red clover by sowing it in wheat or other small grain in the spring, or they are using it as part of a shot-gun mixture. A rather popular shot-gun mixture includes the following seed per acre: Alfalfa 3-5 lbs., Red Clover 3-5 lbs., Alsike 1-2 lb. and any grasses like redtop or timorty that the farmer likes to use. Such mixture has some of the advantages of an insurance policy for under favorable conditions the alfalfa with its superior drouth resistance is likely to survive when the others are killed out. In southern Indiana, Lespedeza may well be added to such a mixture and it has demonstrated about the same ability to survive under unfavorable conditions as alfalfa. Sweet clover is primarily useful for pasture and soil improvement, and is regarded as one of the best nitrogen gatherers of the entiie legume family. Its popularity is probably giving way to some extent to alfalfa which is now being much more extensively used for pasture for all kinds of livestock than was true a few years ago. Danger of bloat seems to be the only objection to pasturing these legumes, although over grazing late in September and October may cause serious winter killing. Both legumes tit well into any farming system where the soil has been limed or is naturally limey, ing ower, and authorities are at a loss to explain how this misconception originated,” he said. "Every scientist and institution of learning agrees that beet sugat, purely refined as the commercial product is today, is identical with cane sugar in chemical composition and reaction, dietic effect and uses. physiological properties, sweetening power, and food value. Therefore, it follows that a pound of beet sugar will go as tar as a pound of cane sugar, and that beet sugar can be used for every household purpose where sugar is required including the making ot jellies, pams, preserves, frostings, and candies. “Beet sugar has a food value of 1 S2O calories of energy, or units of heat, per pound, which is the same calorie content as a pound

Well Informed and experienced persons have accepted places on the home economics, farm management. livestock and dairy husbandry program of the annual Agricultural Conference to be held at Purdue University, Jan. 9 to 14. according to W. F. Graham, I superintendent of the farm and i home week activities. Hoosiers wishing to learn the; latest trends in farm organization and operation will want to attend the Tuesday (Jan. 10) afternoon session of the Indiana Farm Management Association, held in connection with the Conference, when one of the featured speakers will be D. Howard Doane, St. Louis.

M. Funk of the Missouri College of Agricul-! ture in giving some suggestions on management of the poultry breeding flock. Since there are so many sac- ! tors which influence the hatching of eggs, it is often difficult to lo- ’ cate the exact cause of poor hatches. The proper care of the eggs and the correct operation of the incubator are necessary for good hatches, but in many cases the damage has been done by the time the eggs are laid. Many eggs are, produced which cannot be hatched under any conditions. The best breeding stock available may produce eggs which, hatch very poorly because the birds receive faulty rations. Since ! the egg must contain all of the J nutrients required for developing I and hatching a normal chick, it is I necessary to feed the poultry breeding flock so that the egg will . contain all of these essential substances. Low fertility is often the cause of poor hatches. Fertility is affected by the vitality of the flock, the activity of the males, the weather, and the general management, of the flock. Vigorous cockrels of the more active breeds produce a higher percentage of fertile eggs than do cock birds, particularly of the heavy breeds. Cold weather, which reduces the activity of the Hock and freezes the combs and wattles of the breeding stock, will greatly reduce the fertility of the hatching eggs. The use of too few. too many, or strange males in a flock may cause low fertility. In pen mat-| Ings one male should b.‘ placed with in to 12 heavy breed females, or 12 to 15 Leghorn females. In flock mating (> to 8 heavy breed males per 100 females and 5 to 6 Leghorn males per 100 females should be usedand Where it is deOP enough and "■fortlfd enough for their growth.
