In less than fifteen years the annual crop has increased from 6,000 pelts to more than j 70,The pelting season starts in November and runs through the winter months. Last season’s pelts brought fox farmers $7,114,500. Foreig n Cotton acreage in Argentina this sea son is officially estimated at 909,000 acres compared with 707,000 acres in *934*35* Planting was completed early in December. Harvesting usually begins late in May. The Argentine government is encouraging cotton cultivation. The Argentine crop last season was 29s.400 bales 0^478 pounds each.

Free Seeds Ten thousand times “NO” to requests for free seeds says the U. S. Department of Agriculture. In a special release to the farm press the department says that for thirteen years it has been trying to convince 100,000,000 people that it has no free seeds or plants, yet again this spring, thousands upon thousands of re quests are pouring in from farms, su- burbs and penthouses.

'The hog census in (Jermany just completed reveals a substantial increase in the number of bred sows over a year ago. I his indicates heavier market sup plies of hogs during the second half of 1936. Drastic restrictions on imports will limit (terman purchases of American apples and pears during the 193S-36 season (November l to May 31). What ever fruit is allowed to enter (lermany this year, will probably sell at very high prices because of the scarcity of good apples and pears. Soy beatt s Because increases in soybean acreage in the future will be largely for corn- menial uses, the job of developing new varieties becomes more complex than in the past when plant breeders worked for varieties with high forage, says W. J. Morse, soy bean specialist in U. S. De partment of Agriculture. The job is more complex becauv the breeder is now concerned with oil, protein, amino acids, lecithin, iodine, minerals, texture, carbo- hvdrates, flavor, cooking quality and vitamins of the bean qualities demand ed in some or all commercial uses. About one-half of the beans harvested last year will he used in the manufacture of industrial and food products such as flour, soy sauce, diabetic and infant fixids, breakfast food, lard and butter substitutes, candies, roasted beans with a nutlike flavor, health drinks, paints, varnish, glue, plastics, printing inks, oil cloth, linoleum, rubber substitutes, gly cerin, insecticides and livestock feeds. IVages Duiing this winter farm hands have been getting the highest pay they have received in four years, according to the Bureau of Agricultural Kconomics of the Department of Agriculture. Day wages without board ranged from an average of 70 cents in South Carolina to $2.50 in Massachusetts and Califor nia with an average for all states of $1*37* • • • Prices Wool prices which were stimulated hv an unexpected pickup in trade late in December are expected to continue near the present level for the next few months. In January, buying declined somewhat but wool prices* continued to advance. Wool imports have not kept pace with the increased consumption during the past throe years with result of a marked reduction in the heavy stocks which had accumulated during 1929 to 1932. • • • Bovine T. B. A baffling outbreak of bovine tuber culosis in the government’s herd of dairy cattle at Beltsville. VId., was dis covered in a test made late in January. The outbreak involved 82 positive re actors and 11 “suspects” in the herd of 378 animals. All the cattle involved were cows, heifers and calves. No bulls of the 2S in the herd wore affected. 'Hie cause of the infection has baffled officials. For 18 years the herd has been in an accredited status. A regular test in October of 193 s disclosed one reac tor. The cattle of the herd are housed in eight different buildings. 1 he pos sible source,,of the infection is now the subject of a special investigation. Hog Cholera Crystal-violet vaccine tor the preven tion of hog cholera is announced by the ,U. S. Department of Agriculture as a promising addition to the products de veloped for the control of destructive animal diseases. Crystal-violet is a chem ical dye. one of many substances the bio chemists have used in their efforts to destroy the infective elements and at the same time preserve the protective ele ment. Tests have given about 99% sat isfactory protection against hog cholera. Housing A. farm building is no more durable than its roof. Up to date information to help a farmer choose right kinds ot roofing materials for different buildings appears in Farmers’ Bulletin 1751-F, Bureau of Agricultural Engineering, 0. S. Department of Agriculture. The ti tle is “Roof Coverings for Farm Build ings and Their Repair.” Farmers’ Bulletin 1749, Modernizing. Farmhouses, U. S. Department of Ag riculture, contains comprehensive infor mation on costs and details on remodel ing Jo meet a variety of needs.
