Prompt, quick, careful handling of Lite early potato crop is the keynote of the marketing problem,-according to the United States Department of Agri culture, The market season for any early potato district lasts only a few weeks and Into that short time must be condensed the net results of the season's work and planning. Farmers’ bulletin 1310, Just published, tells how the crop Is sold in the leading early potato sections; the location, shipping points, and relative Importance OfTlie heavy early-shipping districts are shown; kind and source of Information which the grower should use are de- scrilicd; and the grower told how to make the most of them in marketing his crop. 1 Factor* to Study. Study Is better than guess work, says the bulletin. There are a number of factors to consider and the grower should keep In touch with crop news, shipment reports, and market quota tions. Study at the best official re ports until experience makes ft pos sible to alxe up their practical mean ing almost at a glance, la a practical and profitable part of the work of marketing Before the time of planting the grower who studies raadltloM will be able to figure with a certain degree of oeewrary (ho pUnhide market vfflua- (taw for early new putatoaa.

In severe cases, death is sudden, due to paralysis of the nerve centers in the brain controlling the respiration and circulation. In the less severe cases there may be marked excitement, the animal becoming uncontrollable; or the opposite condition may be present, the dnlmal appearing sleepy and de pressed. As the condition occurs in the open, and usually while the animal Is at hard work, the first step is to get the animal In a cool, shady spot out of doors.-* If there Is excitement, all precau tions should be taken to prevent the animal Injuring itself. Then cold water, or better still, le* should be applied to the bead. Ii Ice Is not available It is well to turn the garden hose on the animal’s head. The cold water tends to relieve the congested condition of the brain, and the colder the better. The water should not h« applied all over the body, but only to the head.
