Diseases Sarvlva Shorter Trips Danger of invasion by undesirable alien insects grows apace in every agricultural country of the world as air transport, which is accounting for an ever increasing share of traf fic, cuts the time of travel between them from dayf to hours, and as airplanes take over a larger share of traffic. Pests that might not withstand a long sea voyage may survive the Even toys from Mexico have been known to be carriers of in sects, costing large agricultural losses. shorter air ride In good shape. Reaching new lands where condi tions favor their development they soon may build up a strong colony that could become as costly as the Hessian fly, the European com borer, the Japanese beetle, the cod ling moth or the cotton boll weevil. The department of agriculture is charged with this country’s defenses against the entry of dangerous for eign insects and plant diseases. Even toys have been found to be carriers. Farmers must be sure that all mail and express from foreign coun tries have been inspected and passed free of any insects or diseases be fore being permitted on their land. Jura Stallions Prove Good Farm Workers While the Swiss Jura horse, long recognized as the national breed in that country, has not been generally recognized in America, interest has Three Jura fillies typify the Swiss national breed. been centered in the breed in recent years because of the fact that the stallions are suitable for all types of farm work. The breed has shown proper tem perament, strength and resistance to disease, and while light in weight has proven an excellent draft horse. It is exceptionally strong, tame and docile. Sexing of Baby Chicks Proves Difficult Task Chick sexing is difficult to learn, and in order to become proficient it is necessary to receive expert in struction and to have considerable practice and experience with thou sands of chickens. Reliable authorities have stated that a student must sex at least 250,- 000 cockerels before the rfiale genital eminence can be accurately recog nized. The expert sexer appears to be endowed with a natural ability to recognize and classify the various types of genital eminence to be found in chickens, but accuracy is obtained only by regular practice, investigation of errors and a liking for the job. Fertilizer Won't Solve Entire Farm Problem Many farmers are inclined to use fertilizer as a crutch by attempting to make it substitute for good soil management. Vital as fertilizer is, it cannot do the entire job. It must be backed up by other practices that add or ganic matter, build soil structure and boost crop yields. New Insecticides Are Non-Pqisonous to Bees One serious cause of bee poison ing has been that bees have taken dusts containing arsenic and have stored this poison in combination with pollen in the hives. Arsenic remains permanently poisonous but newer insecticidal dusts and sprays, such at DDT, DN and D.D.D., are less dangerous to beneficial insects as the toxic effects will break down gradually. Simple Dehydrator Saves Garden Grope Homemade Apparatus Serves Many Purposes A homemade dehydrator heating unit, which also may be used as a room heater in the home or brooder house, is an economical device and a labor-saver on the farm. Successful drying depends upon re moval of enough moisture from the fruit or vegetables to prevent spoil age. This must be done at a tem perature that does not seriously affect the texture, color and flavor of the vegetable or fruit. Best results are obtained when fruits and vegetables are dried in n dehydrator, like one shown, rather than in the sun. In hot, dry locali ties, however, sun-dried fruits have excellent color, flavor and good nu tritive value. Sun-dried vegetable* usually are noticeably inferior to Good type of homemade dehy drator heating unit, which also may be used as a room heater. dehydrated vegetables in most re spects, but when properly dried they are fairly satisfactory. If gas-filled tungsten-filament lamps are used, care should be taken to prevent liquids dripping onto the bullps, as that is likely to crack them. If carbon-filament lamps are used, as shown in the picture, water dripping on them will not crack the bulbs. Minerals Will Improve Quality of Egg Shells Improvement in shell texture of eggs can be made in many cases by providing the foods that supply the mineral properties contained in the shell itself. The shell of the egg contains about 90 per cent cal cium carbonate and foodstuffs con taining the minerals and vitamins necessary for shell production should help % to increase the supply and bring about some improvement in shell quality. Shell-grit or oyster shell-grit pro vides calcium carbonate, but with out vitamin D the hen may not be able to convert sufficient quantities to meet the demands for bone and egg-shell formation. Nests For Turkeys l a crock for eorrring Crowding of turkeys in nests will be largely eliminated if enough space and enough nests are pro vided. Accepted size of an in dividual turkey nest is 18 inches wide by 24 inches high by 28 inches deep. Quite often eggs are broken and these broken eggs soil others. It is wise to have turkey nests both inside the breeder house and out- of doors during periods of rapidly changing weather conditions. Photo shows Utah type of turkey nest. Swine Diarrhea Curbed With Proper Nutrition Proper nutrition plays an impor tant role in control of swme diarrhea and scours, a source of considerable loss to most pork producers, accdrd- ing to Wise Burroughs’ of the Ohio station. Nursing pigs are suscepti ble to the disease, feeder pigs get epteritis and even older animals sometimes scour. Deficiencies in any one of five different B-vitamins may cause diar rhea, Burroughs warns. ’• Sallflower Crop Thrives Without Heavy Rainfall Sallflower poses no serious ques tion of competition with flax in humid areas where flax prospers. It seems to thrive in areas of less rainfall, where normal precipitation Is only 12 to IS inches annually and where flax generally does not yield so well. Normally, too, under "dry-land” conditions, sallflower does as well as wheat or better. It is resistant to most diseases and insects. MUIa® - By Tod Kesting One of the best ideas for helping curb the rising toll of hunting accidents that we have heard comes from Outdoor writer George X. Sand. Oh, he agrees with those who say that better training of youngsters in handling firearms, strictei' hunting laws and greater safe ty programs are needed. But that is not enough. With added thousands of hunters going a- field each season, many • more deaths and maimings can be expected—unless we act quick ly to stop it now. If we knew how gun mishaps occurred, we could study how they might# have been prevent ed and then do something to prevent future accidents. Sand suggests that if each state kept a complete and accurate file of all hunting accidents, we would have a foundation for building a nation-wide accident-preven tion program. How many states keep such a record? Results of a survey are discouraging. Almost one; half of the states fail to keep even such a simple record as the number of fatal and serious nonfatal hunting accidents oc- curing within their borders. Over 25 per cent of the states keep no record at all! Those states which have made an extra effort to reduce hunt ing hazards and which keep data on all accidents, have some of the best safety records in the country. If all states compiled accident information, and exchanged it freely in a national safety pro gram, the number of hunting accidents could be greatly re duced. It is, of course, indisputable that hunting safety is a state problem. Nevertheless, st ate safety committees by analyzing the causes of gun mishaps and coordinating their efforts should be able to bring considerable improvement to the national hunting accident picture. But the individual hunter must do his part by taking greater precaution than ever. Remember that carelessless is the greatest killer of all. (Fop example, in Colorado 90 per cent of the accidents were caused by careless handling of weapons in or near automo biles—not in the field.)

Be sure with A good sportsman obeys the law of the woods. He breaks his match before tossing it away douses his camp fire to the last spark— smokes only where his woods lore tells him- it is safe. Because of his caution and good sports- niniship, the woods stay green for hunters and their game. Sportsmen need matches in the woods, but every flame should remind them of the danger that lurks in uncontrolled fire. One match can fire the mightiest forest. One forest fire can burn the wood needed to make millions of tons or paper—billions of feet of lumber. One fire can tuni a sportsman’s paradise into a lifeless, gameless wilderness that will take years to restore. Use the forests as the sportsman’s play ground.
