Danger of invasion by undesirable

for an ever increasing share of traf

them from dayf to hours, and as

soon may build up a strong colony
that could become as costly as the
Hessian fly, the European com

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.

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

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

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.

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
siu - ® that what you shoot is
game, not your hunting part

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. But do your share to help KEEP
AMERICA GREEN.
