FARMS

FOLKS
FARM AND FOLKS
CHANGE
‘Use Only Animal Ammoniates*
is the caption of an advertise
ment from an 1899 publication.
This ad was put in by leading
fertilizer firm that’s still in
business.
Now neither that firm nor any
other uses animal sources of
ammonia much for fertilizer.
Then It was all right to ad
vertise that way. But ih this
ever-changing world, the nitro
gen situation has changed too.
Now a more populous world calW
for the animal products that
animal ammoniates will produce,
the price on them goes up, and
they are just about out as fer
tilizer ingredients.
HDuring this time, science has
not been asleep. It never sleeps.
New kinds and sources of nitro
gen have been developed. And
now we have more of it as
less cost, and the bulk of the
"Animal Ammoniates’’ can go to
fill other growing needs. -
Change, change!^ How relent
less it is! What was wise on
yesterday becomes folly today.
In this country we have the
knack of making that change
faster than most parts of earth.
And therein lies the source of
our world leadership In things
agricultural as otherwise.
It is human nature to be bound
to the past. But we shake loose
from it rather readily in this
country and adopt the new sur
prising speed. This applies
specify to agriculture, as well
as industry.
We. have great plant breeders
and experiment stations develop
ing and finding out new and bet
ter things. The county agents
take these to the field and dem
onstrate them. Then soon they
become every man’s knowledge.
And American life becomes rich
er.
GOODING’S ROOSTER CAME
BACK
Did you ever hear the equal
of this one?
Our poultry specialist, P. H.
Gooding, tells me that his boys
had some bantams about two
years ago, a hen, a rooster, and
a batch of young ones. They
started missing the young ones
until they were all gone. They
And it was for a year and a half.
But to their utter consternation,
some weeks ago a bantam roost
er just like that one showed up
there in the yard again But,
thought they, it couldn’t be their
rooster that had gone all of these
months. The children Insisted
it was, caught It, and found it
was, for it still had the same
legband number that they had
put on their rooster two years
before when they carried it to
the fair.
It had been gone a year and
a half!
FOR YELLOW SPOTS
ON LAWNS
County Agent Bob Bailey of
Richland tells me he has found
an effective remedy for those
dead spots that come in lawn
grass, specially carpet and allied
grasses.
It is one tablespoonful of cop
peras in one gallon of water.
This solution Is simply sprinkled
rather heavily over the dying
spots of grass. He says - they
green up and come back in very
short time. He gets many calls
to see lawns thus affected In
Columbia and says this treat
ment has corrected it In every
case so far.
FOR BORERS IN PINES
And Bob comes up with this
one too.
Around Columbia are many
residential areas in the pines.
And when pine woods are steel
ed, borers frequently get in the
trees and cause trouble.
Bob tells me that they have
gotten good results and saved
a lot of trees from borers by
sparying the trunks with a solu
tion made by putting one pound
of 60 percent wettable BHC in
15 gallons of water. This is
sprayed on the trunks of affected
trees os high up as they can
make the spray reach.
You can tell when borers are
starting on your trees by the
gum that starts oozing out of lit
tle holes in the bark and tops
yellowing up.
just thought a cat or hawk was
Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Mills wfent seting them. After the chicks
was gone, they missed the hen.
So, the little rooster was left
alone. And in a few days he dis
appeared too.
Well, they felt that this was
the end of the bantam story.
BOYS ARE THAT WAY
Summer brought mostly joys
to us kids in the Stone Hills
of the Dutch Fork.
I think our creek topped the
list. My, how we fished It, swam
in its cooling waters, built rafts
and went on adventures there,
got our canes off its banks for
all maner of things dear to a
boy, and so on.
And summer brought nesting
birds and young animals of all
sorts .It brought berries, wild
plums, grapes, and nuts to the
woodlands that were all free to
the finder.
Summer also brought work in
the fields, long days of it. I
didn’t. like that at all, did just
as little as I could get by with
and if they didn’t watch close,
Zeke and I would be off to the
creek when we got to the far
end of the row.
Chills and fever got us down
a bit in summer. Then they
didn’t seem to know that mosqui
tos caused it, and no houses were
screened. They just thought
that chills and fever were a
part of childhood.
And then out In midsummer
came those trublesome “Dog
Days." Then they wouldn’t let
us go out In the dew nor In
swimming. Thought those things
would cause sores to come on us.
We didn’t mind staying out of
dew, but to stay out of the
creek during the hottest part of
the summer for about two weeks
was specially hard on us. But
we feared those telltale sores
that we thought would surely
come, and stayed out of the
water then.
