TECHNICIAN SCHOOLS TO BE HELD MAY 2-12

Two artificial breeding schools are being held each year to meet the demand for trained technicians in the employ of the artificial breeding associations in Indiana, according to V. C. Freeman, associate dean of the school of agriculture, Purdue University. During the past year, 14 new associations were organized, bringing the number of associations in operation in Indiana to 47. Approximately 9,000 dairymen are now using the service, Dean Freeman reports.

Announcement is made of the next school to be held May 2-12 at the University under the sponsorship of the School of Agriculture. The course is open to persons 21 years of age or older. The Purdue dairy department advises that those who attend the school have a background in the dairy fiield and in addition, should desire the management of an artificial breeding association. The course, designed to meet the needs of the technician. will include such training as insemination techniques, bacteriology and physiology in their relation to insemination, principles of heredity, record keeping, problems of organization, promotion and development. Frank DeLaCroix, extension

dairyman in charge of the course, says that most technicians in Indiana are hired on the “per cow” basis, and receive from $3.75 to $4.50 per first service. A good technician can handle up to 2,000 COWS per year.

A registration fee of $lO will be charged for the school. Students will be responsible for their room and board. .

Further information and application blanks may be obtained from the office of the county agricultural agent. Application blanks should be sent to Frank DeLaCroix of the dairy extension department, Purdue University.

ECONOMICAL MIXTURES SAVE LEGUME COSTS

Farmers can save on seeding cost by making the proper choice of legumes and grasses to be used in mixtures for hay, pasture or soil improvement. At current prices, alfalfa and red clover will cost about twice as much to seed an acre at the recommended rates as Ladino clover. Purdue University extension agronomists say that for this reason, Ladino clover should be included in all alfalfa mixtures for hay or pasture seedings. Use onehalf pound of Ladino seed per acre in pasture mixtures and onefourth pound in hay mixtures, along with at least eight pounds of alfalfa per acre. M. O. Pence, extension agronomist, said it is usually advisable to seed grass in alfalfa mixtures, using three to four pounds of timo-

thy when intended for one or two yeafs and four to six pounds of smooth brome for seedings intended for longer than two years. An excellent economical rotation pasture for hogs, sheep and dairy cattle would be three-fourths to one pound of Ladino clover and three to four pounds of timothy per acre, particularly on mnondrouthy soils. Alfalfa is deeper rooted and more drouth resistant than Ladino and hence furnishes more pasture in prolonged dry periods. Where alfalfa is not adapted, the Ladino clover pasture could be supplemented in the dry months by the use of Sudan grass seeded in late May or early June.

EARLY HATCHED CHICKS ARE MOST PROFITABLE

With prospects for more chicks to be raised during 1949, it becomes increasingly important for the poultry raiser to start his chicks early if he is to realize the greatest profits, according to information received from Joe Sicer,. Purdue University extension poultryman. Broods hatched during February and March should be ready for good egg production by early fall when egg prices are high. Late hatched chicks seldom produce many eggs before the price starts down. This break in egg prices can usually be expected by the last half of November, Mr. Sicer states.

Coakerels from early hatched chicks will be ready for market while broiler prices are still good. They do not have to compete with the large volume of farm raised surplus cockerels that come on the market by mid-summer. Mr. Guthrie, County Agent, adds that starting chicks . .early enables the farmers to get the job out of the way before the rush of other farm work arrives. ;

It is also easier to train early hatched chicks to the brooder stove, and usually less trouble is experienced from coccidiosis in farm raised chicks during the cool
