New Strain oi Com Withstands Drouth Guatemala Crossbreed Also Resists Root Rot Possibility of producing corn that would withstand root rot and other diseases as well as prolonged dry spells appealed to Earl E. May and Iowa State college officials. Knowing that Guatemala had been producing com for more than 2,000 years in an isolated region, which had resulted in a highly inbred strain which could withstand dry spells as well as certain diseases and pests, Iowa research workers collected Jim Moore, KMA, and Enrique galas inspecting Guatemala corn field. 1,200 varieties of com from Central America. New Guatemala-U.S. crossbred com has been tested at Ames, Iowa. The new corn outyielded three com monly used U.S. hybrids as much as 25 bushels to the acre. While the Midwest varieties withered and died during hot weather, the Guatemala- U.S. crossbreed remain in full ears. College officials believe that early results give promise of a new strain that will withstand long dry and hot spells in any part of the United States. James Moore, K.M.A. station, reports that work in Guatemala has proven entirely successful and he believes that the-new com soon will be grown on many farms in the United States. Organic Matter Will Aid Work of Soil Bacteria A single ounce of soil contains 50 million living bacteria, according to R. C. Thomas of the Ohio agricul tural experiment station. These bacteria can help or harm the crops, depending on the kind of bacteria. The good kind rot the or ganic matter, release plant nutrients and help build soil structure. The harmful kind cause plant diseases. The good kind can be aided and the harmful kind eliminated by add ing organic matter to the soil. To get this organic matter, according to Middle West Soil Improvement committee, return all possible ani mal manures to the soil; put back all crop residues and grow deep- rooted legumes regularly in the ro tation and feed them generously with fertilizer carrying phosphate and potash. Early Growth Stressed In Raising Baby Pigs While the average weight of eight- week-old pigs is probably less than 30 pounds, a lot of pigs weigh 40 pounds or more at this age. On the contrary, many weigh as low as 20 pounds. These variations in wean ing weights have a marked effect on the growth-rate of pigs up to the time they are baconers. The bigger pigs at eight weeks old are the first to reach 200 pounds liveweight. Hog Self-Feeder A portable hog feeder is a piece of labor saving equipment which has a place on every farm where hogs are being raised. The ca pacity of this feeder is 55 bushels, bnt it may be made of any size desired. If it is kept well painted it will remain water tight. Culling Pays Dividends To Poultry Producers Regular culling pays dividends, but many poultry farmers are unable to carry out the procedure because of pressure of other duties. How ever, as the moulting season ap proaches. it will be seen that a per centage of the flock commences to moult earlier than others, and it is these early moulters that should be segregated and sent off to market al JUrst opportunity. Three Diseases Take High Toll of Turkeys Heaviest Loss Occurs During Growing Period Nearly a third of all turkeys hatched are lost during the growing period. This statement Is based on findings of Utah Agricultural col lege survey. Of considerable Importance to a control program Is the fact that the three diseases known to be the greatest killers of poults—paraty phoid infection, pullorum disease and infectious sinusitis, which may be transmitted through the «gg from parent to the offspring—cause 51 per cent of the brooder loss. If a grower starts with a healthy, vigorous poult, the job of keeping the bird healthy is relatively simple. Thus the first problem for a pros- Birth of poult at Timmerman farm, Jefferson county, N. V. Photo shows baby turkey off to a good start. pective turkey producer Is to buy poults from hatcheries that have a reputation for producing healthy poults. As it may be impossible for a single grower to know the poult source, cooperative effort may be helpful in investigating the breeder and hatcher. Proper housing and proper use of brooding Equipment are essential to health of the poults. Baslz of sanitary procedures is to prevent healthy individuals from coming in contact with the infectious agents of disease. All weak-looking poults should be kept separate from the healthy fowls and strict sanitary practices must be maintained during the brooding period. Early Spraying Advised For Black Cherry Aphid Spray* applied before the buds break, say insect specialists, are more consistent in controlling the black cherry aphid than sprays made after the buds are open. Feeding of the black cherry aphid, If present In large numbers, affects the size and flavor of the fruit. Also, a secretion known as “honeydew" produces a sticky and unattractive appearance of the fruit, especially If it is to be sold as fresh fruit. De velopment of a sooty fungus in the honeydew may contribute further to the unsightly appearance of the cherries. Sweet cherries are more commonly infested than sour cher- THE NEWBERRY SUN PROSPERITY Mrs. S. A. Quattlebaum was hostess to the UIDC Chapter Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Chas.

That long neglected group of trees that stands on the back “forty” and which once was eyed with a resent ful attitude because it occupied land that could far better be devoted to grazing, now becomes a definite and valuable asset. It is one that can be quickly con verted into cash. To the owner has come the realization that the farm will produce something more than grain, root crops, pasture or dairy products. Trees also are a crop, and a paying crop, even on the poorer types of soil where intensive agricul ture is an impossibility. and two children, Mary Sue and Bob of Camden; and Mrs. W. D.
