All early crops of tho Fcdorul ex
periment station at Fairbanks, Alas
ka, matured last year, notwithstand
ing a frost-freo period of only 95
days, according to reports to tho
United States Department of Agri
culture. A barley hybrid, produced
by the station, matured In' 80 days
from seed. Seed of this hybrid will
bo distributed to farmers in Alaska
as rapidly as it can bo produced
and it is expected to replace all old
er barleys. It has stiff straw, a
, long, beardless head, and hull-less
grain, yields well, does not lodge
roadlly, and seems well adapted to
northern latitudes.
After 15 years of inbreeding and
cross-breeding experiments with
guinea pigs, in which more than
34,000 animals wore used, the United
States Department of Agriculture la
continuing tho Investigations with
poultry and swine, maKlng use of
ninny facts developed in the tests
with the smaller animals. Six pens
of "White Leghorns have been set
aside for tho purpose, and it is
planned to breed continuously within
each pen, using ono male bird each
year. A similar test will bo carried
on with flvo pairs of Poland Chinas
and four pairs of Tamworth hogs.
This experiment will make possible
a later comparison of crossing with
in a breed and between two breeds
with inbreeding.
Tho plan for eradicating tubercu
loses in cattle from entlro areas, such
as counties, Is daily growing in pop
ularity according to reports coming
to tho United StatC3 Department of
Agriculture. Tho idea has taken hold
in Michigan and is spreading rapid
ly. Already five counties have been
freed of the plague, and reports
from tho Inspector in charge for tho
Government show that tho boards of
supervisors havo appropriated money
and made provision for cooperating
with Stato and Federal forces. When
ono country joins the ranks for
eradication its ' action stimulates
others to follow. Tho prospect for
ultimately ridding tlio country of tho
disease nevor looked so promising as
at present, say those in chargo.
Ono of tho ways In which tho Uni
ted States Department of Agricul
ture gives a dollnrs-and-conts re
turn to tho public Is exemplified by
a recont problem presented to tho
Weathor Bureau. This bureau Is fre
quently called upon to glvo Informa
tion on cllmato in various localities,
especially when a porson is" consid
ering establishing a homo or an in
dustry In an unfamiliar region.
A director of motion-picture ac
tivities recently considered building
a studio in a northern city in tho
East. Ho wanted to know whether
ho could bo suro of good light thoro
50 per tent of tho tlmo. Tho weath
or man supplied convincing figures
as to tho amount of light to bo ex
ported during tho daylight hours
during dlfforent months of tho year.

Tho cloao season on wood ducks,
which has been in effect since 1918
under the provisions of tho mlgrn
I tory bird treaty act, will contlnuo
during the hunting season this fall,
according to the .Bureau of Biological
Survey of tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. These birds
I may not bo killed ' any whero in he
; United States. Tho wood duck, or
summer duck as it is commonly
known In many localities, is one of
I tho most beautiful of native game
b)lrds, and b)r cod's practically
(throughout tho United States. Form
I erly It was threatened with extlnc-
: tion, but under tho protection afford
ed by tho migratory bird treaty act
during tho past fow years its num
bers aro now beginning to show an
increase. Elder ducks and swans are
nlso protected throughout tho year.
An unusual feature of tho clothing
I work in Kansas, carried on by ex
I tension workers during tho past
. year, as reported to the United States
j Department of Agriculture, was tho
j sending of sets of clothing kits to
j tho girls' clubs in tho various conn
I tics.
Each kit contained a sample patch,
a sample darn, an Iron holder, two
aprons, a sewing bag, a laundry bag,
a night-gown, an underskirt, a prin
cess slip, a combination suit, n
smock, a dresser scarf, a child's
dress, rompers, charts showing ap
propriate school dresses, and hooks
of samples illustrating appropriate
materials to select for the different
articles. The kits wore sent to tho
county extension agents, who in
turn woro responsible for getting
them to tho clubs. Except for four
clubs In three counties which re
ceived no kits, every club in tho
Sta'to had an opportunity to examlno
these articles, to obtain patterns for
,tho garments that appealed to them,
and to gain better ideas on appro
priate clothing for homo and school
uso.
A record height for the "Washlng

tho balloon sont up by tho Weathor
Bureau of the United States Depart

with its observations of upper air

burst nt 22,590 meters, a height of
about 13. miles, after being watched
123 minutes.

Weathor Bureau releases n balloon
filled with hydrogen gas twlco daily,
at 8 a. m. and at 3 p. m., from tho
roof o tho "Weather Bureau Building,
Iprovldod there is no rain. Tho ob
ject Is to get tho direction and voloc
lty of wind movements nt various
clovations as far as tho balloon can
bo observed. Theso balloons aro
small, about 2V6 foot In dlnnietor
when Inflated, and mndo of tho finest
quality uncolored rubber. Tho
watching is dono through a theodo
lite, and tho timo Is kept ,by a clock
which soundB an alarm every minute.
Tho distance tho balloon travels Is
calculated from known computations
of how high a balloon of given
weight will rlso per minute.
The information obtained is use
ful to those Interested In flying, nnd
when recorded on charts showing
conditions at various elofatlons for
each of tho 15 stations of tho Weath
er Bureau scattered over tho United
States which make those particular
observations it is nn nid in tho daily
task of weather forecasting. An un
usual point in connection with this
rocord height reached on August 17
was tho fact that, although tho gen
eral drift of winds in tho Washing
ton district Is from west to east, tho
prevailing winds on thl3 day were
from tile east nnd northeast.
Ebchlblts of Improved, If vo stock and
, poultry at county and, State fairs
this year promise to bo unusually In
teresting! accordjnp to information
1 received by the United States De
partment of Agriculture from man
sources. In prnctically all parts of
the country excellent live-stock ex
hibits nro to be attractive features
of fairs. The attention which breed
ers nnd farmers have been giving to
good live stock, combined with good
feed nnd care, havo resulted In some
exceptionally well-bred and woll
fltted nnlmals.
In encouraging farmers to tako ad
vantage of tho opportunities which
fairs "and livo-stock exhibits givo for
observing improved live stock and
poultry tho Department of . Agricul-
( turo places omphasls on the follow
ing points: Livo-stock dlsplnys af
ford an opportunity to study breeds
and types nnd to boo a large number
of good nnlmals. In tho qaso of meat
animals tho size, conformation, and
1 uniformity are worthy of special
study In vlow of Increasing tendency
to ralso purebred nnd high grndo
stock ns market animals ns well ns
for breeding,
FarmcrB attending livo-stock dis
plays 6btaln useful information by
meeting othors who aro interested In
superior breeding ntd feeding meth
ods. Besides tho ideas oXGnangcd
and information gnincd, new enthus
iasm for tho work is a common re
sult. Animals and poultry may bo
purchased nt 'most fairs, though ns
a rulo It is moro satisfactory for a
farmer to purchase animals nt tho
homo of tho breeder than to buy
fitted animals ut fairs. Animals that
have been propnrcd for exhibition
usually nro priced higher than unfit
ted ones of similar quality and
1 breeding,

GKOUNI) GRAIN NEEDED AS PART
RATION FOR LAYING
HENS
A mash composed of ground gratim
or their byproducts nnd somo form
of animal protein is an essential part
of a ration for both growing clilck
ons and laying lions. Tho reason is
that blrdB putting on growth, or pro
ducing oggs can not assintllnto
enough nutriment from wholo or
cracked grains to supply tho maxi
mum need. When tho grain is
ground, Bays tho United States De
partment of Agriculture, llttlo work
la required of tho gizzard, and nnch
moro of tho feed can bo used In m-icing
llosh or oggs.
Tho scratch grain part of tho n
tlon, howovor, is needed to give tho
gizzard somolhlng to do in order to
keep tho birds In hoalth, Fo lay
ing lions tho scratch grnln. frown in
tho litter provides nn Incontlvo to
noedod oxcrclso.
It was onco thought that tho
mash should bo fod wot to produco
tho best results, hut experiments
havo proved that ) aylte of )thV
Blightly bettor palrtablllt "f tho
wot food, tlio cinvonri ol feeding
it dry overbalances any slight gain
In production. Feeding It dry Is uow
tho usual method. Digestibility ia
not Increased by wotting.
Tho principal objection to tho wot
mash Is (hat it requires too much la
bor. It must bo moistened, thou car
ried to the hens onco a day, and tho
troughs must bo elennod aftor each
feeding. Cloanllness is absolutely
essential, becauao IndlgoBtion and
diarrhea will rosult from foodlug in
dirty troughs. On tho othor liand,
tho dry ninsh hoppor may bo filled
onco n week or oven loss frequently,
and needs no further attention. Hons
do not ovoreat of dry mash an thoy
Hometlmes do of wot feed,
