POTATOES ARE TO BRING MORE Expert Predicts Higher Prices, Lower Production In 1939 West Virginis producers of early potatoes can expect better prices for their crop this year than they received last year. A. L. Keller. Extension specialist in vegetable gardening, College of Agriculture. West Virginia I'niversity, states in baaing bls prediction on the June 39 report of tbe Bureau of Agrcultural Economics of tbe United States Department of Agriculture. Although tbe planted acreages of second early and Intermediate potatoes and trurk crops for market are generally larger than In 1938. relatively low yields are resulting tn substantially smaller market supplies. These smaller supplies, together with an improved level of demand over 1938, caused tbe general level of market prices of these crops in late June to average somewhat higher than in the corresponding period ol last year. 15 Percent Smaller Thu production of Intermediate

potatoes, the crop that usually proI videa tbe bulk of market supplies for July and August. Is Indicated to be about 15 percent smaller than last year. Mr. Keller points out. If , yields of the earl.' B tbe . uorthem late states are no better I relative to last year than ylvlds in 1 the Intermediate states, market supplies for the summer and early mouths probably will be compare- | lively small For all truck crops for fresh market shipment, the 1939 acreage, as reported to June 33. is about I percent larger than the corresponding plantings In 1938, but about 18 percent larger than the 10-year average. Production, however, because of relatively low yields, is indicated to be generally | smaller than in 1938. Asparagus, snap beans, lettuce, peas, aud spinach are tbe only crops tor whic h Increases in production are Indicated Os these, only asparagus.. lettuce, and peas show significant increases. Many crops show decreases. Tbe largest declines are indicated for beets, cauliflower, celery, kale, peppers. tomatoes, and I watermelons. GIVE DETAILS OF FREEMARTINS Heifers Twinned With Males Are Found Usually Sterile Approximately 90 per cent of the females bom with male twins in dairy cattle are sterile aud will not make breeders, points out A. C. Ragsdale, of the Missouri College of Agriculture. Whether or not tbe circulation of blood In the two fetuses is joined or separate determines whether tbe female will be normal or a non-lnreeder. Advisability of raising the female when twinned with a male rests on the chance of tbe I two circulations not being joined. As a general rule, except In cases where there is definite evidence that there is no arterial connection between the navel cords of twins wheu one is a male and the other a lemab-. it la best to con- . aider the female as a nun-breeder, art iM worth raising, except possHriy tn tbe case of an excep- ' tionally valuable animal. Detailed examinations of tbe development of the ovaries and uterus of the female twin have shown distinct abnormalities when the circulations joined, but when there was no connection with the blood j vessels of the male fetus, the genital organs of the female fetus were entirely normal. The observations I Uncle Jim Says I " » .aBBL , awl I “It's funny how much a man learns about running his own farm when he studies and worries over national farm problems."

EARLV CUTTING MAKES BEST HAT Soy Brans Should Bo Cut Before Loaves Fall For Quality <By—J. R. Pauling. Missouri College of Agriculture ! To make the best hay. soybeans should be cut before the leaves begin to fall and when the pods have developed on the upper branches or top of the main stem, but before I the seed has tilled. Thia means that soybeans planted at the normal time will usually reach the haymaking stage about tbe middle of August However, more tonnage can be obtained by cutting later, but the feeding value will be rduced by loss of leaves and development of i hard, woody stems. This delay will also make hay curing more difficult and hasardous because of the westher conditions at that time of year. Late cutting also has the disadvantage of hindering the planting of small grains on the soybean land for fall pasture and erosion control To save tbe leaves and green color. the most successful soybean bay producers after having cut early, allow the crop to remain in the swath only long enough to rake easily. Some three-fourths of tbe ■ curing is done in tbe windrow aud completed in small shocks Excessive loss of leaves Is the danger of allowing the crop to cure too fully in the windrow before shocking. Soybeans can be harvested for hay with a binder, but damaged hay is more likely to result. Harvesting with a binder is safest where i the growth is relatively light, the bundles tied loosely and only about three bundles are placed in tbe shock. Even so. bay handled ' tn this manner is more subject to i weather damage than when mowed. — —- ——o SCWSE , Poisoned bran bait is an effectI Ive control for grasshoppers aud cutworms. For the cut worms It is | applied at night, but for grass- | hoppers, it should be broadcasted early in tbe morning. Dusters are effective for apply- * ing insecticides in the home garI den. However, they should be so constructed as to direct the dust i to tbe undersides of the leaves. Protein is one of the most important and costly constituents in la feed. The state toad tag on the teed bag shows the protein guar- ! antae of the feed manufacturer, exi Purdue I'niversity specialc that the abnoimaiity of the female fetus in opposite-sexed twins Is due to the tact 'hat the male organs at a very early stage In embryonic life prodace a hormone or secretion that causes development of the ovaries of tbe female io be retarded with resultant abnormality aud incapability to breed.

CORN BORER TO CAUSE DAMAGES Purdue Fights To Stop Spread From Adams, Allen Counties Lafayette. Ind.. July 21 — A bulletin entitled “Protect Indiana From the European Corn Borer." which deals with tbe present status of the European corn borer in Indiana and recommendations for its control, has been issued by the Agricultural Extension Department of Purdue I'niversity. Because of ideal weather conditions for the borer, the bulletin says. ’' Indian* farmers experienced for the first time in the summer of 1938. commercial damage to their corn crop by tbe corn borer, although tbe corn borer made Us first appearance in the state In 1926. Infestation In Allen aud Adists. The average serving of icecream contains only 300 calories. Ice-cream is really a food aud tbe idea that It i* fattening ha* no real basis. Trucks carrying market-bound hogs should not be overloaded Crowded trucks in summer result In heavy death losses aud excessive shrinkage. Drowned bens will seldom be found in the horse lank if a separate water supply (or th* chicken* is provided. Further information on auy of these toph-s may bo obtained by writing to the Purdue I'niversity Department of Agricultural Extension. Lafayette, Ind.

from old lots. Symptoms-loss of weight, diarrhoea, weakness. At . first signa, call a veterinarian. Hemorrhagic flepticsmi*. or swine , plague—Very diSlcult to distinguish i from bog cholera, and frequently ono disease is complicated with the other. Symptoms similar to cboi i era, including fever, loss of *pp* tils, and weakness. Prompt voter laary treatment la urgent, and bogs should be put Into clean quarter.

! with good ventilation. and given a > careful diet. Influents, er Swine Flu—Very contagious. Pigs run high temper ' atures, are weak, show eye inflam matioa, frequently breathe with dlf [ Acuity. Keep bogs la warm, dry 1 quarters, out of draughts. Give ' plenty of water, but reduce rations Virulent Erysipelas—Symptoms. ' like cholera. Include fever, lack of ■ appetite, sometimes penial prostra tion. Immediate diagnosis by a . veterinarian la tmponant. Great , care should be used in handling I hogs, because the disease caa be f I transmitted to man.

| am* county became so heavy that ; serious losses occurred in both i field aud sweet corn.” Previous to 1937-38 the summer* from 1926-36 | had been too dry for a notable burl>er increase. Counties adjacent to Adame and I Allen, in additlo* to most of the 11 northeastern Indiana counties, saw considerable damage done to their crops by the corn borer. Tbe bulletin reported that practically all ol northern Indiana was infested with the borer, while only a few 1 - southern Indiana counties are aa yet effected. Control Measure* Control measures for the borer suggested by the bulletin include: plowing under of stalks aud stubble aud other remnants of old crops so that uo debris remains on ! the surface: the raking and burning of stalks; tbe burning of stored or stacked fodder; the cleaning up of barn and teed lota; aud the cleaning up of sources of infestation as corn cobs, and other place* that edrn stalks may be used. All this c leaning up should take place before June, as this is wheu the > borers emerge aa moths, lay eggs on the new corn crop, which hatch out soon afterward*. Other recommendations mafic for the control of the insect were, delaytug the plantiug of corn, aasurhig good stand* of corn by fertilising, cutting the com as early a* possible this fall and using varieties, of corn resistant to the com bon*. Further information regarding the com borer in Indiana may be Obtained by seelug your county agricultural agent and asking for extension bulletin number 241. or writing to the director of agriculture extension work at Puitlne University, West Lafayette.
