| An iron solution such as copperas dissolved in water also helps to prcI vent anemia when given directly to the pigs. It is sometimes painted on the sow’s udder or sprinkled on sod in the house so that the pigs can get it when nursing or eating. Feeding iron to the sow does not enable her

to give it off through the milk.

Mange or “elephant hide" is another condition that has been rather prevalent in some herds of hogs during the past winter. This skin dls case may considerably reduce the

profits from feeding hogs.

A good remedy tor mange is to spray or sprinkle the pigs with liquid lime sulphur and water. Mix about one half pint of liquid lime sulphur dif- with one gallon of water and then

Gene Akers Youth Of The Week Clifford Crosby, a young fanner of Franklin township was a very few years ago bringing considerable honor to himself and his 4-H Club by his outstanding achievements. On two occasions he was able to win highest honors in the county colt club and for several years was a prominent member of the livestock judging team. In competitive judging he won the state swine judging contest and at two or three different times placed near the top in general judging. At the 1938 Indiana State Fair he was a member of the second place team and was awarded a trip to the International Livestock Exposition as the high individual in the central

district.

Since completing his 4-H Club activities Clifford has graduated from an agricultural short course at Purdue University. At the present time he is actively engaged in assisting his father in the management and operation of a large farm near Roachdale.

Itroiler Production An economic study of the broiler industry in western Indiana completed recently by E. C. Young of Purdue University reveals some very interesting facts. According to Dr. Young, the production of poultry during the winter and early spring has grown rapidly in Indiana since about 1921. The development has been mostly in northern and particularly in northwestern Indiana. The growth is the result of certain economic and technical changes which have taken place during this period. The development has been concentrated at certain locations because of peculiar production and marketing advantages and in the early stages because of the leadership of some one farmer, group of farmers, feed dealers or hatcherymen. The following findings of this study should be helpful in understanding the basic relationship in-

The first meeting of the Floyd Center 4-H Club met March 13, 1940 at Center School House for an organization meeting. The meeting was called to order by the club leader, Miss Ella Pickett. She acted as chairman and Miss Madeline Burk, assistant club leader, acted as secretary until the meeting was organized. Before the organization, Miss Pickett explained and offered suggestions for organization. The meeting was called to order. The following officers were elected: President, Wilbur Heavin; first vice president, Marilyn Miller; second vice president, George Layton; third vice president. Bobbie Arnold; secre-tary-treasurer, Verda Kibbey; song and yell leaders, Frances Kersey and Joan Arnold; recreational leaders, Marion Jenkins and Harold Heavin; news reporter, Rose Shaw; program committee: G.

Junior Gentry. “Sunshine Cloverleaf” was voted on as the club name. The club voted for refreshments. The next meeting will be held Wednesday, April 24th, at the school house. This meeting will be an initiation of the 4-H members and the first regular meeting. The club will meet every two weeks at the school house. The meeting adjourned until April 24th. Enrollment: Canning club: Maxine Horner. Clothing club: Marilyn Miller. Frances Kersey, Verda Kibbey, Nellie Whitlock, Joyce Miller. Joan Arnold Rose Shaw, Deloris Homer, Betty Northern.

Grounds, June 3-6; the Putnam, Clay, and Sullivan 4-H Club camp in July; j the county 4-H Club exhibit; the ; county picnic; and the State Fair are other interesting features. 4-H Club work is an educational I movement thai provides farm boys j and girls with an opportunity for individual and social growth through the working out of individual enterprises related to the fami and home 1 interest. The following projects are offered in agriculture and home economics: Clothing, baking, canning, food preparation, room improvement, entomology, poultry, corn, potato, garden, dairy, pig, sheep beef and colt.

HORSE SENSE The brooder house should be moved each year to ground on which no poultry or poultry manure has been for one year. Good cows are a profitable mark-t for home grown grains. Purdue dairy specialists urge that you cull the poor producers and diseased and unsound cows and thus save feed and labor, as well as increase the net herd income. hs A bit of vanity, like arta-mc, s good for most farmers, but a large dose is fatal.

NITROGEN FOR APPLE TREES SHOULD BE APPLIED EARLY LAFAYETTE, Ind., Most apple orchard soils respond to application of nitrogen, and much research has been directed at finding the best time to apply this plant food, says Monroe McCown, extension horticulturist at Purdue University. Recent studies conducted by Drs. John R. Magness and L. P. Batjer of the Federal Bureau of Plant Industry show that best results come when a supply of ready-to-use nitrogen is built up in the tree earty in the spring, McCown explains. This can be done by adding nitrogen as soon as frost is out of the ground in the spring or by adding it just before harvest in the fall. The experiments indicate that 25-yea!-oil trees with average yields of 600 pounds of fruit required approximately 1 1-2 pounds of actual available nitrogen each year to keep them in good growing condition and produce the crop. Of this about 0.6 pounds is returned to the soil in fallen leaves and blossoms. (A pound of actual nitrogen is contained in about 6 pounds of .nitrate of soda or 5 pounds of sulphate of amonia). A general rule followed by frut growers is the application of onefourth pound of nitrate of soda or sulphate of amonia for each year in age of the tree. The heaviest demand for nitrogen comes in spring and early summer when the trees are setting and developing fruit, the specialist points out. However, the tree cannot be expected to get all the nitrogen it needs from the soil in this period of greatest need. Instead, it must draw upon reserves of .nitrogen stored in the tree, particularly in the roots. ■WnvrK'XnSS

volved in price determination. 1. That industrial prosperity as measured by factory pay rolls is a principal factor in explaining changes in chicken prices from year to year. 2. That after the influence of pay rolls has been accounted for there has been a downward trend in th' price of spring chickens. This downward trend is probably explained by the rapid development of the winter broiler industry with the consequent relative increase in supplies in the spring season. Probably part of the downward trend is associated with lower production costs. 3. That the price of heavy chickens has suffered less decline than the price of light chickens during the past few years. 4. That the maximum profit was obtained by producers who sold chickens weighing 2.75 pounds or more during the seasonally high period in May. 5. That the production of heavy chickens for the May market is in relatively favorable competitive position as compared to the production of light chickens. That this relative advantage is likely to continue for some time. 6. That the high price of all classes of broilers during the spring relative to prices during the remainder of the year may be expected to decline gradually as and if the commercial broiler industry continues to grow in importance.
