BEET NEMATODES
SPREAD BY DIRT,
Refuse From Dumps Apparently
Is Most Common Means of
Spreading Parasites.
CROP ROTATION IS FAVORED
When Pests Are Found In Locality, Ac
tion Should Bo Taken by Whole
Community to Prevent Spread
Some Good Rules.
(Prspartd by the United-Stats Department
of Agriculture.)
Dirt from the beet dumps apparent
ly Is tbo most common moans of
spreading the sugar-beet nematode and
should bo tho first to recelvo attention
In planning control measures, accord
ing to Farmers' Bulletin 1248, Tho
Sugar Beet Nematode In the Western
States, prepared by Gerald Thorne and
L. A. Glddtngs and now ready for dis
tribution by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Prevent Scattering Soil.
Since tho removul of dirt from tho
dumps seems to be the only practical
Method of disposing of the thousands
of tons of soil annually screened from
the beets, says tho bulletin, precau
tions must bo taken to prevent scat
tering the soil containing nematodes.
Wagon boxes should bo tight enough
to prevent soil Jarring out along the
roads and In the fields. Dump dirt
should bo disposed of In holes,
Bwnmps, or waste corners where thoro
Is the least danger of Its being scat
tered. The practice of growing beets year
after year on the same field gives tho
nematodes an excellent opportunity of
becoming established If they are onco
Introduced. A definite system of crop
rotation Is said to be advisable with
not more than two years of beets In
succession. The fertility of the soil
will thus be maintained, and much of
the danger from Insect pests and plant
diseases will be avoided at the samo
time.
Make It Community Affair.
When nematodes are found in n
locality, action snould Immediately be

Types of Sugar Beets Found In

taken to prevent their spread, the bul
letin advises. This should bo made a
community affair, and tho following
measures are being adopted by somo of
tho farm bureaus:
The sugar company operating In tho
district is requested to refuse con
tracts for beets grown on soil that
Is known to be Infested with tho sugar
beet nematodes.
When Infested soil happens to bo
plnnted tho owner and tho sugar com
pany are to make arrangements for
handling the beets from tho Infested
areas separately and not nllow tho in
fested beets to go through the dumps
while other beets nro being handled.
The practice of throwing dump dirt
nlong public highways should bo pro
hibited, by law If necessary.

FRESHENING TIME IMPORTANT
Has Considerable to Do With Amount
of Profit Cow Returns Fall
Is Favored.
The time of the year that a cow
freshens has considerable to do with
the profit she returns. An analysis of
tho figures obtained from many cow
testing associations shows thnt In most
sections the cows thnt freshen dur
ing the fall and early winter produce
tho most milk nnd butter fut, and
bring In tho greatest profit over cost
of feed.
BUY ONLY BEST DAIRY COWS
Selection of Most Profitable Produc
ers at Start Determines Suc
cess of Herd.
The profit to be made from a dnlry
herd depends largely upon tho sanc
tion of good dnlry cows to start with.
It requires from CO to 75 per cent of
the feed o cow is capable of consum
ing to maintain her body, It la there
fore much cheaper to produce, say, 30
gallons of milk with ten cows than
with 15 cows.
!last-minute hints
FOR CHICK SUCCESS
Let Hen Remain on Nest for 24
Hours After Hatching.
Use Good Insect Powder or Sodium
Fluorld Two Days Befbre Little
Fellows Aro Due to Arrive
Use Grease Carefully.
(Tripared bjr tha United Stales Department
f Asrloultura.)
When tho hen Is hatching sho should
not be disturbed except to remove tin
shells, unless sho becomes unensy and
steps on or picks the chicks. In such
cases the chicks should be removed ni
soon as dry. Place them In a basket
or box lined with flannel or somo othef
soft material and cover tho top, keep
lug tho bnsket or box In n warm place
until the eggs left under the hen nro
hatched.
Hens should be fed as soon ns pos
sible after the eggs nre hatched, at
Preparing a Coop for Hen and Chicks.
feeding tends to keep them quiet; oth
erwise, many hens will leave the nest,
In most cases It Is best that the hen rc-
main on the nest and brood the chicks
for at least 24 hours after the hatch
ing is over. Hens will successfully
brood ten to fifteen chicks early In
the breeding season and eighteen to
twenty-flvo In warm weather, depend
ing upon tho size of tho hen, so that
often two broods of chicks which
hatch at the same time can be put to
gether and raised under one hen.
Powder the hen with a good Insect
powder or with sodium fluorld two
days before the chicks uro due to
hatch. If lice appear on the chicks,
or If they nre troubled with "head
lice," a very llttlo grease, such ns
lard or vaseline, may be applied with
the fingers on the head, neck, under
the wings, nnd around tho vent. Great
care should be token, however, not to
get too much grenso on tbo chicks, as
It will stop their growth and In somo
cases prove fatal, say poultry experts
of tho United States Department of
Agriculture.
"Too punch" or mark each chick be
fore transferring to the brood coop, so
that tho age can bo readily deter
mined after mnturlty.
EGG PRODUCTION INCREASED
Animal Feed of Some iKInd, High In
Protein, Is Essential for
Laying Flock.
Meat scrap or some other animal
feed high In protein Is tho one essen
tial constituent of the mash which can
not well bo omitted. The United States
Department of Agriculture found that
n pen of pullets, on free range, which
did not get meat scrap or any other
animal-protein feod laid only 00 egga
each In a year, compnrod with yields
of from 125 to 150 eggs from pens fed
rations containing meat scrnp. Tho
egga from tho pen where no meat
scrnp was fed cost 2.2 cents more a
dozen for feed than when the meat
scrap was Included In the ration. Fish
meal or fish scrap can be used to re
place the moat scrap and compares
favorably with a good grndo of meat
scrap containing tho samo per cent of
protein.
Skim milk or buttermilk, either
sweet or sour, is excellent for replac
ing part or all of the mcnt scrap.
The milk may bo used In mixing the
mash If a moist mnsb Is fed, or It can
be kept before the fowls ns a drink.
If clabbered und fed thick or like
cheese, hens will cat enough of It to
replnce all of the meat scrap needed.
A little bone meal makes an excellent
addition to the mash or It can be used
to replace a part of the meat scrnp.
Green cut bone, If fresh nnd sweet,
will also take the place of ment scrap
If fed at the rate of one-third to one
half ounce dally per ben.
MUST PRODUCE FEEDER HOGS
Test to Be Made of Economically
Raising Animals In South to

The possibility of economically pro
ducing feeder hogs In tho South for
supplying the corn belt with the extra
hogs needed for consuming the corn
crop will bo Investigated by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
In co-oporatlou with Home of the South

More Quality for Less Money
There never wns a time when Goodyear Tires went
to good as now.
They are bigger, heavier and stronger today than
any earlier Goodyears ever were.
Yet Goodyear prices are lower now than ever.
Not even in those remembered days before the war
did Goodyear Tires sell at such low prices as today.
Look at the figures listed below.
They represent an average decrease of more than
C0 from Goodyear prices of 1910.
When you can get these better Goodyears at such
prices, there is no question of the tire value at your
command.
Your Goodyear Service Station Dealer will tell you
that never in his experience as a tire dealer has he
known the equal of this value. See him today.
