Various commercial compounds have been widely and extravagantly advertised for general farm use as seed corn disinfectants. The effectiveness of many of these compounds in con trolling certain seedborne diseases has been demonstrated in some of the more humid areas of the corn belt. Very little is known of the distribu tion of these diseases and the ex tent to which they effect the germin ation and productiveness of seed corn in the drier or semi-arid sec tions. Tests to determine the effects of seed corn treatments have been un der way at the Nebraska Experiment Station at Lincoln for several years The results of these tests for the years 1924, 1925 and 192! were published as Nebraska Experiment Station Bulletin 218. That no bene fits have resulted from the treatment of corn selected on the farm, is shown by the following paragraph taken from the summary of this bulletin: The organic mercury compound' Dapnlnm, ?emesan, and Bayer Dust, applied to ordinary seedcorn. had no significant effect upon the germina tion, field stand, rate of seedling growth, crop vigor, per cent of smut, barreness, lodging, yield per acre, or quality of product. The securing of equal field stands is direct evidence that the damage from worms was not reduced." These conclusions have been sub stantiated by further results obtain ed in 1927 and 1928 which have been published in the Journal of Agricultural Research Vol. 40, No. 2. 1930. To test the application of these results to conditions further west in the state, a series of tests were con ducted at the North Platte Substation in 1929. Nine treatments, consisting of the three compounds used in the tests at Lincoln, four additional com- IvllUS.U.U.U flowers of sulfur, and water. were applied to uiutorm lots of buo- ueu up ami saKeu aim an uenieu un; a rear room 01 1 lie naiiK. ine roi; the officers that could open the vault jan organization of the lady devotees and safe and accordingly this offlei ii bridge, on Monday evening tender was force:! to open the safe and the P(i a very delightful surprise to Mrs. robbers secured the loot and made J John Livingston, one of their mem their getaway.

Advised Against (inmm Alfalfa. Grimm, Cossack, and other vari jagated varieties of alfalfa are very I susceptible to wilt, and it is extreme j ly inadvisable to plant these alfal . fas in the irrigated or sub-irrigated ! sections of the state, Dr. G. L. Pel tier and H. M. Tysdal announced in ; Nebraska Research Bui. 52. Grimm iseed. obtained from five states, was ! tested last summer and found to be : very susceptible. In other words, I Grimm is susceptible to wilt irrie , speetive of its origin. This is no j doubt true of the other susceptible j varieties. Further, under no con dition should alfalfa seed of south ern origin be purchased, because not I only are all southern grown alfalfas I non-hardy, but also very susceptible I to wilt. All common northern grown alfalfa seed, so far tested, has also been found susceptible to wilt. How ever, seed from a number of old fields in Nebraska have been found to be Urges Nebraskans to Eat Eggs. Present low price; of eggs leads agricultural college extension poul tryraen to advertise again a circular prepared three years ago on "Egg Keceipes for 366 Days of Health." The best thing to do with the pre sent surplus of eggs is to eat them, and encourage everyone else to do likewise. The particular circular mentioned was prepared during a Leap Year and urges 366 days of health. "The best we can do in 1931 will be one day short." but 365 days will be worth working on again. Sealed sunshine, vitamins, min erals, and fats are all contained in easily digestible form in ordinary eggs, selling at eight to 15 cents a dozen right now. Quality of the product on the market in this state is probahly above the average for this season of the year and Nebras ka people are urged to double or even triple their consumption of eggs. The circular will give any housewife, no matter how much she knows about cooking eggs, a few new ideas and recepes. Circulars are available at the Farm Bureau Office for the asking. somewhat resistant to wilt, and for the present is the best source of seed for planting. Therefore, the authors of the bul letin strongly advise the growers of alfalfa on bottom land who are in the market for alfalfa seed this spring to consult their county agents and find out from them if a locally grown seed is available, and especial ly from old fields.

Sodium fluoride as a powder or dip will rid chickens of body lice, cre osote oil and kerosene will kill mites in the cracks or the chicken house, and crude oil or kerosene will kill the mite that causes scaly legs of chickens. Hens should not be dipped in a sodium fluoride bath in cool weather. The powder can be "pinch ed" into the feathers on the back, below the vent, on the head and neck and beneath each wing. Cleaning up all the litter, manure, and dust in the house is the first step in ridding the premises of mites. Painting or spraying the walls, floors, and ceiling with coal tar creosote will kill the mites where they hide. 1 The creosote may be applied pure or diluted with kerosene, one part creo sote to three or four parts of kero sene. Scaley legB are caused by another kind of mite which can be killed by dipping the legs in kerosene at ten day intervals. Care should be taken that the kerosene does not reach the flesh of the bird. Another treatment for body lice is nicotine sulphate, more commonly known as "black leaf 40." Puncture a small hole in the cork and make a continuous small stream on each roost. It may also be used by paint ing the roosts very lightly with tt. This should be done in the evening just before the birds go to roost. The gas liberated rises up through the feathers and kills the lice. This method saves catching each hen. Contagious Catarrh (Rcup) This disease is very common throughout the county this year. The contagion is generally brought into the poultry yard by infected birds. Sometimes they are birds which are purchased from other Hocks in which the disease exists; sometimes they are birds of the hom? flock which have been on exhibition and were exposed to sick fowls; and sometimes they are wild birds or pigeons which fly from one poultry yard to another. The saliva and the discharge which escapes from the nostrils carry the contagion and soon contaminate the drinking water and feeding troughs, so that all the fowls are exposed to infection. The symptoms first seen are very similar to those of an or dinary cold, but there is at first more fever, dullness, and prostration. The discharge from the nasal openings is at first than and watery, but in two or three days it becomes thick and has an offensive odor. The in fiamation which begins in the nasal passages, soon extends to the eyes and to the spaces immediately below the eyeballs, causing the formation of swellings which may reach the size of a hickory nut. The obstruc tion of the windpipe and of the smal ler air tubes causes loud breathing sounds and difficult respiration. In the severe and advanced cases the birds sit in a somnolent or semi-con scious condition, unable to see or eat; their strength is rapidly ex hausted, and many of them die with in four to ten days. Some of the af fected individuals recover, but others remain weak and have a chronic form of the disease for months, durinj which time they continue to dissem inate the contagion. Medical treatment may ne very successful if properly applied. The sick birds should be removed from the flock and put in a warm. dry. well-ventilated room which is free 1 mm drafts. The affected mucous membranes of the nostrils and mouth should be treated by applying anti septic solutions. The best method is to use a good spraying apparatus. but lacking this, a small syringe, an oil can, or even a medicine dropper can be mde to answer the purpose. or the bird's head may be plunged into a basin or bowl of the solution and held there a few seconds, hut not long enough to cause suffocation The antiseptics most suitable for such treatment are: Goric acid, 1 ounce, water, 1 quart; or preman ganate of potash 1 dram, water, 1 pint; or peroxid of hydrogen 1 ounce. water 3 ounces; where the inflam mation has progressed to the eye, ex cellent results have followed the use of argyrol. One or two drops of a 15 solution are introduced between the eyelids daily for a period of sev eral days. Before applying these solutions it is well to wash the eyes and mouth with warm water, containing 1 tea spoon of common salt to a quart, us ing a pledget of absorbent cotton and rubbing gently, while at the same time pressing and massaging about the nostrils and under the eyes to loosen the accumulated secretion. If there is a swelling under the eye, it should be carefully opened with a sharp, clean knife, all the secretion removed, and the cavity washed with one of the above-mentioned solu tions. D. D.
