-Milk and egg production as of April 1 was the highest on record in Indiana. •Crop reporters were milking 70.1 percent of the milk cow s in their herds. Production per cow in herds was 15.0 pounds, the highest on record. Production of milk in March was estimated at 285 million pounds or 21 m.llion pounds more than last year. In spite of gjod pasture an average of 6.4 pounds of grains were ( ted per cow this year and 6.2 j pounds last year. Reporters with less than <j,j layers had 111 birds per farm or 10 percent less than last year. Production of eggs per 100 layers April 1 was 65.9 which is the highest rate any month on record. Usually the April rate is lower than in May. March production of eggs was 242 million this year and 247 million last year. Production January to March inclusive was 548 million eggs this year and 620 million eggs last year. Wages paid for hired l^bor arc reported about 10 percent higher than last year's record rate.

Six essentials for clean milk:

Fertilization is next in importance. The furrow should be five o.- six inches deep and libe.ally fertilized. A handful of commercial fertilizer, scattered evenly every four or five feet in the bottom of the furrow, mixed with the soil, should supplement the general garden fertilization. The seed is dropped every 12 inches and covered with a few inches of soil. The rows for the home garden may be as close as 24 inches and up to 30 inches. After growth has the rows well marked, the first cultivation should be close and deep, throw-

feed, keep them clean, and house them in a comfortable, well ven-

tilated barn.

The milkers and handlers of milk must realize that they have in their care food that is easily changed by contamination. They should take every precaution to prevent it from being an inferior

product.

Milk from diseased cows may contain disease-producing organisms and should not be used for human food. Have a qualified veterinarian test the herd for tuberculosis as least once each jear. Reactors to this test and ctrong reactors to the blood test for abortion should be taken Irom the herd as soon as poss-

ible.

If cows are to produce to their greatest capacity, they must have plenty of pure fresh water, stagnant pools may be soutcei ?f disease for cattle. Drain them cr keep the cattle away from them Clean the watering troughs regularly. Flies in the milk room will contaminate both the utensils and the milk. Screens on the dairy rooms, the use of traps, fly catchers, and fly sprays will keep the number of flies to a minimum. All breeding places should be destroyed or treated to that they do not attract flies. i pilled milk, manure, and some Of the feed that is given to the cows will draw files. Small top pails help to keep milk ckan. From 30 to 70 per cent of the dirt end bacteria that would fall into open pails is kept cut by partially covered pails. Several types of pails are on the market. There are the important points to look for: The seams should be smooth and the fewer the better; no open seams, and no rough places in the soldering of the joints. Rough soldering or any other place that will hold dirt and milk solids make the pail hard to clean and sterilize. Every utensil that comes in contact with milk must be clean end sterile if clean milk is to be produced. All efforts to produce clean milk arc useless If utensils s re not thoroughly washed and

edible green size, should keep the family supplied with onion.? for the entire year. The mature Lulbs should be stored where it

is cool and dry.

When onion seed is sown at the rate of 50 to 75 seeds pe r foot of row, small sets w;ll form during the season and may bo set out early in the spring. Set onions will mature earlier and also furnish a source of seed for next year’s seed onion.

When the leaves of p< Latoes, egg plant, tomatoes, corn, beets and other garden crops become riddled with little shot holes, its a sure sign tae flea beetles have arrived, says County Agent. D J. Holmes. These little pests arc snail but mighty. They often completely kill egg plants and newly set tomatoes in addition to seriously damaging other crops. There are several species, most of what are not much larg r than a pin head. The species which feed on potatoes and egg plant are black in color while those attacking other com. mon vegetables are frequently marked with yellow. Flea beetles are active inserts and readily jump when disturbed. The best control for flea beetles Is a dust containing a fluorine compound such as cryolite or barium fluosilicate as its active ingredient. These materials art readily available on the market under different trade names They are also excellent *for t-.e control of other chewing insects A Bordeaux-arsenical spray Is also recommended. Free leaflets on how to make and use Bordeaux are available at the County Agricultural Agent's office.

“Too early” or “too late” has been the desparing cry of many home gardeners discussing rains and their effect on the potato crop. Yet, in spite of weather conditions and insect pests, some gardeners have come through with good yields from early or late maturing crops. One of the first essentials to successful production, remarks County Agricultural Agent D, J.
