When the tire whistle bpws everyone wants to'kn*>w where the fire is. and after finding out a great many people rush there. Ths i'4 a ifatural curiosity and harms no one. The harm is done unintentionally after the crowd arrives ait- the) scene of the fire. Some people wish to help and others wanting to get a) closet view’, also g<> into the house on-build-ing which is on tire.

P. Doyle of the Purdue University Veterinary Department and Leon Todd, extension poultryman of Purdue as an aid to poultrymen in.brooding chicks this spring. A characteristic drowsiness or sleepiness, ruffled feathers-and a loss of appetite .will usually be the first symptom, the Purdue man stated. It the digestive tract of an affected bird is examined, evidence of coccidiosis may be found in the two blind intestines or c'aeea or in other portions of rhe intestine. These caeca will usually be filled with a bloody or cheesy mi’e.-'l which may range from yellow to purple in-color. In the other portions of the intestine there may be gfaj- or red specks. When it is possible to detect the firftt few birds which become infected they can be removed and the house thoroughly cleaned before the disease spreads through the flock. The sick birds should be killed and burned. The litter and all drt sticking to the floor should be removed at once, and if possible for the birds to be confined to .a small pen) outdoors, the house may be scrubbed with hot lye water. It is also a good practice to scrub the feed hoppers and w.itei fountains at the same time. When a < le;m area of ground is available the house may be moved away from the place where the trouble started. The litter should then be cleaned from '.he house every other day until the disease has disappeared. It was pointed out by the Purdue man that coccidiosis germs will live in the ground or in the brooder house from one year to another. The trouble may also be brought into the flock on the feet of the attendant or visitors, dogs or other animals and wild birds may bring it to the range. Second hand feed sacks may be responsible for introducing the disease. The hens may have a chronic form of this disease which can be spread to the chicks when the two ages of birds range together. Each year this disease takes a large number of chicks, and causes many more to be stunted in growth. This simple cleaning process has been used with success by poultrymen throughout Indiana, and has the decided advantage or requiring no additional Cash outlay. ’ BANKERS STUDY CHAIN BANKING The Economic Policy Commission o! the American Bankers -Association has been specifically Instructed by the general convention of ’he association to study and report on chain and group oanking developments, and also on tije proposal ot the Comptroller oi the Currency tor an extension ot branch banking in -the national banking system, to permit those banks to conduct branches in the trade areaa suirounuing their locations K.

USE EARLY CORN FOR FEEDING TillS FALI Early or short season varieties of corn may be used by the fanner who is short of corn for late summer or i early fall feeding operations without much sacrifice in yield. In corn ) variety tests conducted by Purdue ! University for the past three years iin the northern two-fifths of the State in Tippecanoe, Larorte, Randolph and DeKalb countaes, medium early varieties such as M . A. C. Yellow Dent have compand in yield I quite favorably with Heid YellowDent. The tests further show that the extremely early vs rieties from the northwestern states were small in growth as w’ell as low in yield and had little place in Indiana except for late planting in tne northern counties. 7 M. A. C. Yellow Den . introduced from Michigan and developed by the Agricultural college ms tures about one week earlier than Woodburn* and hree weeks earlier than Reid Yellow Dent. It produces a small earn and stall and is not desirable for the main crop except in the two northern tiers of counties. Planted at the regular corn planting date} in the northern half of the statp the crop should be ready for hogging off some [time in August, a distinct advantage to the man with a small corn carryover, or be ready fijr cribbing in about 110 days. Incidentally, few vaieties of even the earliest maturity can be ready for cribbilng in less than o-ie hundred days, and) such varieties are much lower in yielding abilitySome of the early Minnesota varieties and Northwestern Dent planted about May 15th avera jed 32 bushels tn Tippecanoe county while later varieties like M. A. C., ■ Golden Glow and Woodburn Yellow Dent averaged 55 bushels and requir id only one to two weeks longer to go to maturity. Since much seed of M A. C. is available in Indiana, it car be extensively used in the northern third of the state where a medium early variety is desired. It does n<lt make much stover, however, and the farmer looking for a variety to make considerable growth shoLld select one like W oodburn. This] variety is one f the newer ones being used extenftively now in the central part of the state as a mid-season variety or as an early variety in Southern Indiana. It is also better adapted to clay soils or soils of low fertility than Reid Yellow Dent or other similar varieties. Farmers in the areas indicated can use thjs variety to advantage in order to obtain earlier feed than from local- full s jason varieties. Sources of seed of number of varieties are available at the Purdue Experiment Station at Lafayette. „ . —o- — — SPRAY APPLES WIEN PETALS FALL TO CONTROL WORMS The wide awake fruit grower knows that when nine tenths of the petals-of apple blossoms have fallen it is time to apply the calyx spray, of lead arsenate and lime sulphur, w hich is probably t ie most important spray for codling moth control. The calyx spray soon tc be applied is for the control of curt ulio, cankerworm and scat, as well as codling moth, according to G. E. Marshall, entomologist at the Purdie University Agricultural Experiment Station. He states that it is important to apply this spray at the right time in order that a good supply of lead arsenate may be force 1 into the salyx cup before it closes. Such a thorough, spray will usually prevent the entry of codling moth lltrvae through the calyx the remainder of the season.

SEED CORN TESTED. Eighty seven corn growers tried their skill in selecting seed corn by eye tests during the recent agricultural conference at Purdue University. One man in this group placed 85 per cent of the ears correctly. The next best selection was 82 per cent correct and from there the guesses ranged downward to 46 per cent correct. The average was 70 per cent of the seed ears properly placed. On Friday morning the ragdoll tests of these ears were read. This test showed clearly those ears, that were strong and vigorous and those that were defective in some way. What does this contest mean to the corn growers of Indiana? The aver- ' age placing of the seed corn by this eye test was 70' per cent correct. This means that about 30 per cent of the corn planted ought never to have been used. Such- seecLJs weak and will result in barren stalks, minature or ; nubbin ears and missing hills. It means also that some good corn that would produce well is going \o be thrown away because of some ap- [ parent fault that really will not affect the vigor of the plants. The eye testers are losing at both ends: they ; throw out some good and include j much bad corn. There is another even more seri- [ ous aspect to this'' problem that some mefn may not have considered. This weak corn that is included is certain to cross on the strong plants. This crossing will continue to pagate Che weakness in the corn and can only result in lower yields and poorer quality. There are too many farmers in In j diana who are sure that they can pick their .'seed corn by the eye. It I is probably true that they can pick out the dead corn but a surprisingly i large number of people stated that ) dead ears were good in this contest. But the ears that fooled them all were those that were weak, diseased; or partially dead and it is just this kind of corn that is. causing most of the trouble in the field. This-contest has shown as never i before that good seed corn cannot ) be. selected by an eye test. It has j further clinched the proof that- the Yyig doll is one of the best means of i grading the seed corn into the most | vigorous and healthy ‘seed. The slogan of Indiana corn growers should, be “Test every ear of seed corn and use none but those showing 100 per cent strong germination.” —' -Or—- I “Hope” deferred maketh the heartsick.” That’s in the Bible, and it is also a decision handed down by the United States Circuit Court of Appeaois, telling Judge Clark of New Jersey that he was mistaken. The ; prohibition, amendment was adopted ; legally. It stands, and is the law of the land. —_—o — BRILLHART SUED C. B.
