CREATE LAKES TO HELP SOIL sportsmen, Farmers Aided By New Water Conservation Plan 1 Editor's Note — This is another of a series of stories on conservation being written by Roman Lengerich, secret-ary-treasurer of the Adams county fislt and game conservation league.) There is a great deal of work being done in Indiana toward wat er conservation. With the government appropriating funds for such work, it is now possible to Impound lakes and build dams in the rivers and streams. Sport may lie the obvious improvement that comes with water conservation, but it is not the most important. In tact the important gain from impounding is the increasing of the underground water supply, which has been seriously reduced. The water table

has been lowered to a point where many small lakes, marshes and streams have dried up completely. This has been brought about chiefly by a system of fast drainage of 1 tillable land and reducing the size and number of the forests ami wood lots. The leaves of the forest are capable of absorbing a large quantity of water for a long period of time. The Impounding of large lakes will help to reduce floods, which annually cause millions of dollars damage to property. It also will help to preveliT serious droughts, which often reduce, crops, by increasing the amount of water for evaporation. It will also produce a constant supply of water for municipal plants and live stock by creating flowing streams below the impounded lakes even in periods of 1 drought. The land owners who receives ! the greatest benefit in land values and in increased production . of crops, therefore should be given . the first consideration — but , when he receives these benefits, . those who like to fish, swim and i row boats, also will find their I sports improved. • In 4 l.iiad I’tinn — flecnlnf

LAYING NEEDS ARE DISCUSSED Maintaining Os 50 Per Cent Egg Production Needed Monthly "Manage the laying flock to keep ' production above the 50 per cent level every month of the year.” ; That's a new year's resolution recommended to Minnesota poultrymen by Cora Cooke, extension poultry specialist, University Farm St. Paul. The flock that was highest in the 1938 record flock project sponsored by the Minnesota Agricul-1 rural Extension Service proved i that steady production is safe from the standpoint of the hens and builds production that means profit. The top placing flock of 189 hens averaged 221 eggs per

CALF CULLING IS SUGGESTED Missouri College Expert Gives Tips On Dairy Practices The growing of dairy calves is one of the most important, yet often neglected, phases of dairy farming points out H. A. Herman of the Missouri College of Agriculture. Ry raising, rather than purchasing. breeding stock, a dairyman may bring about effective improvement in production by the use of good purebred sires and by selecting only heifers from the best producing cows. The dairyman raising calves needs to do a careful job of selecting only the best calves to raise, feed them adequately, and guard carefully against disease. Too many dairymen attempt to raise every calf, and the importance of culling cannot be over-emphasiz-ed. It costs just about as much to raise an inferior calf as a good one so one of the most important steps in calf raising is to cull out the ‘ calves with inferior breeding, when ! i they are born. It is poor economy to feed and care for calves in any manner oth- ' er than that which will allow them to grow and develop normally. A well cared for dairy heifer has a I much better opportunity to develop into a high-producing dairy cow than one which is poorly fed and cared for. It is essential that the newborn calf receive the colostrum or "first milk.” This has distinct protective qualities transmitting to the calf a definite immunity against common infections. The morality among calves not receiving colostrum usually approximates 50 per cent and is frequently 1 much higher. The raising of thrifty calves starts before the calf is born. The lien during the year. Most significant, however, was the fact that the flock placed among the 10 high producing flocks in 9 of the 12 months. A point of special interest to poultrymen is that the high placing flock was below tenth place during the 3 months of heaviest production for most flocks March, April and May. This simply means, j says Miss Cooke, that the owner of the flock planned to distribute : bis production over the months when egg prices were good. It is a j mistake, the pultry specialist ob- . serves, to expect a flock, by a sudden spurt during the period of peak production in the spring , months, to make up tor time lost in months of low production.

HORSE SWSE A good woods is like a savings bank account, or a paid up insurance policy. Between holidays is an excellent time to enter the beginning farm inventory in your Indiana farm account book. Good records pay in many ways. Hint to housewives: When the cake falls look to the proportions instead of the severe jar for the trouble. Too much sugar is probably most often flte offender. Purdue dairymen say that cows fed tw r o to three pounds of hay daily for each lot) pounds of live : weight will produce from 60 to 70 per cent as much milk as they will if given the usual hay allowance with some grain. Plan now to attend the annual I Agricultural Conference to be held at Purdue University, Jan. 9 to 14. 1939. Did you know the average dairy cow in one year voids approximately 1200 gallons of urine containing plant food equivalent to 600 pounds of nitrate of soda and 200 pounds of 5o per cent potash. At present prices, this urine is worth $16.50 — but it will have no value unless properly applied to the soil. Failures to use good quality seed may result in poor stands, undesirable varieties, and infestation of the farm with noxious weed seeds. Further information on any of j the foregoing topics may be obi dry cow should be fed plenty of good quality, green, leafy hay, as well as silage if it is available, and enough grain feed to keep Iter in good thrifty condition. Cows for-, ced to live on the poorest roughages. with little green feed or I grain feeds in the diet, often calve ; I in this condition and produce poor-, ly. 1

POTATO CROP IS TO BE GUT Eight Per Cent Reduction In Acreage Is Antici- i pated For 1939 Potato growers probably will reduce their plantings for the com- . lug year as a result of the low I prices received during the past two seasons. This opinion was expressed by W. C. Pelton, University of Tennessee Extension horticulturist in discussing the outI look for next year. If u smaller production is real- ! ized and if consumer purchasing power Improves, us now seems i likely, both' prices and income received by growers in 1939, would be considerably higher than in other recent years, he said. The annual outlook report indicates that growers probably will decrease their potato acreage by about eight percent. The largest reductions are expected in the states where the late crop is produced, although other areas are expected to show some decrease from 1938 plantings. Average yields on the acreage now indicated for next year would tained by writing to the Purdue University Department of Agricul-, tural Extension, Lafayette, Ind.
