YEARLING HENS I ARE VALUABLE _____ I Now Is Time To Do Culling Os Poultry Flock For Profits A flock of properly selected yearling hens la more valuable for breeding purposes than an equally good flock of pullets, points out C. K. Rhode of the Missouri College of Agriculture. This Is true because yearling heus retained lor thia pur goaa have demonstrated their worth as profitable Individuals, while with the moat careful selection this wUI not necesaarily be true of a high percentage of pullew selected tor breeding purpoaea. Reaiaunce to disease la an inherited characteristic to a very marked degree Mena that have given one or more years of profitable production and maintained their health and vigot, undoubtedly may be classified as possessing a high - degree of resistance to disease. It I is logical to expect that a good i many of these birds will transmit thia characteristic of disease resistance to their offspring I The best yearling hen. when properly selected, will lay approximately the same numbei of eggs in the second year of production as the average pullet raised tor replacement purposes The best pullets may lay more eggs, but the average production of an entire pullet flock may not exceed that of a carefully selected flock of year-old hens In addition, the hens will lay | larget eggs, which are not diaeouoV ed hi price, as ia true with the smaller pullet eggs ia the fall months when the egg prices are highest It costs much less to carry yearling hens tor a 4o or 30-day molting period than It doH to raise a pullet replacement. To the extent that profitable hens are marketed, producers tall to us- their investment tn laying stock to the best advantage. Hens that start molting during the summer months, however should be culled from the flock They return to production slowly, and frequently do not resume lay tng as soon as those birds which molt the latter part of September or later.

WHEAT PROGRAM HOLDS UP U.S. PRICES White world whrst prices have been driven down by lhe presence ' of the largest world wheat supply in history, prices In the fnited States I hsve remained relatively high Drmestic prices are being strenghtened by a prospective f. 8. crop very little above annual domestic disappearance by the fact that a large proportion nt wheat being placed un-1 der loan, and by the announcement of the continuance of the export aid program. Prices at Liverpool have dropped to the lowest level In modern times, and In June IMS. averaged .1* cents lower than In June 193 N Meanwhile, the price of No 1 Hard Whiter wheat at Kansas City, for example, averaged only six cents lower than a year earlier, comment A.

GRAIN MARKETS SOAR TO LIMIT News Os (lerman-Poliish Conflict Starting Brings Rise Chicago. Sept. I.— <U.PJ —News that the Uerman-Polisb conflict had started shot wheat prices Up the ; prescribed limit of & cents a ' bushel tn all North American gram markets today. All grains soared on the war news. Corn opened I % to 4 cents , higher at Chicago, oats were up i 1 cent to cents, and rye ad- ' vanced the 5-cent limit. Traders rushed to buy wheat al the opening in frenxled trading. | September wheat atarted as much as 7 cents a bushel higher as the permissible limit sutomatically Is extended to s cents during the present month. The I cent gain in corn represented the maximum limit allowed for that grain. Winnipeg. Minneapolis. Kansas City and Duluth wheat markets shot up the bc-ent limit as traders fought for the buying side. Corn, oats and rye were all sharply higher. The opening roar dn Chicago's famous wheat pit came from the biggest hull market since the start <if the World War in 1914.

CURING OF BEAN HAY EXPLAINED Beans Should Be In Pod Before Crop Is Cut For Hay To obtain lhe highest yield of hay. the farmer should let his soyIteau crop stand until the beans hi the pods art- plump and nearly or quite full else, but not until the 'leaves begin to fall, advises J. B. Park of the Agronomy Department 'of the Ohio Agricultural Expertment Htation This stage of growth also glvea the highest percentage of protein in the hay and the highest yield of protein per acre, says Dr Park To understand why these statements are true. It ia necessary to consider the leaves and stems separately from lhe p<Mls and seeds The protein content of soybean leaves and stems declines steadily about M.S per cent in late Septemfrom 17 per cent In early August to liter. Th-- total weight of leaves and stems Is highest about the last of f August. On the other hand, th--seeds, which begin developing In I early August. Increases rapidly un- ; til late September. Being very rich i In protein and Urge in amouul. I the seeds more than offset the loss . |<*C protein from the leaves, so that the percentages of protein In the •hay. aa well as the total yield of

Hard to Cure Offaettlng lhe advantage of yield | at thia late atage la the difficulty ( of curing lhe hay The large woody i sterna of soybeans cure slowly un- | der all -circumstances compared , wltb alfalfa and clover. In addition the large green oe«da. which may comprise up to 40 per cent of soy- | bean hay, cure with exceaalve slowness Furthermore, the short days and cool nights of fail are unfav- | orable to curing hay, aud conditions grow worse daily. t'sually It Is belter to cut the crop when hay-curlug conditions • laro more favorable. Soybeans make good hay at any atage. aud long exposure to weathering lowers the | quality of bay. Il seems desirable, i therefore to cut soybeans tor hay I tn late August or by September 1 in northern Ohio aud by SeptemI bet & to IQ in southern Ohio, regardless of the stage of development.

EXPLAINS COVER ? CROPS ON FARM: , c Many Crops, As W ell As I Weeds, Used To Pre- ( pare Fields ' The term "cover crop", explains ‘ Dr. J. H. Gourley, Chief of the Horticulture Department of the Ohio Experiment Station, waa first twafl by Dr. Bailey In 1893 to describe a crop that is grown in orchards for the purpose ‘ of protecting the laud during late . summer and winter and for plowing into the land instead of harv- * eating. This concept has been ex- 1 tended to include both summer and | 'winter crops* and lhe system has ' given an impetus to orchard culti- ‘ vatton. The beat practice today always includes a cover crop if lhe land is to be cultivated. Many crops have been used for * this purpose, including the nstur- 1 al weed growth that ofIOHN In lhe J orchard during tale summer. The J location, site, aud soil determine to aome extent the bent crop to ( the hay wilt In the swath aud then put It into small windrows with a I 1 side-delivery rahe. If these wind- I , rows art turned ones or twice, the ' hay will cure nearly as rapidly as it would In the swath and the win- < drown are much leas damaged by < weathering.
