Special Care Needed
When Transplanting
Plants to Be Used Should Be
Strong and StocJ^y.
Young plants grown from seed cut
tings or layei;s need special care in
their handling after the roots have
been made, warns A. J. Schoth; crop
specialist at the Kansas State Agri
cultural college.
In general, transplanting is more de
sirable, according to Schoth, in those
groups where the product of the indi-j
vidual plant Is of considerable value
or where there is a good premium on i
earliness.,
“It doesn’t pay to spend very much
time with beets or with onions,”
Schoth says, “as with egg plants or
cabbage because the latter is worttv
so much more per product
Plants with a large development of
fibrous roots and a compact root sys
tem as cabbage and tomatoes, suffer
less in transplanting- than those in
which the root system consists of long
fibers or a single tap root ao in case
of long beets.
“Plants must be so handled that they
will not suffer from lack of moisture
during or shortly following transplant
ing.
“Plants for transplanting should
be strong and stocky. Small, spindly
plants require a long time for develop
ment. Plants grown in the hot house
or hot beds should be ‘hardened off’
before transplanting Into the open.
This is done by curtailing the water
and lowering the temperature.
“Keep the plants from suffering from
lack of moisture by thorough water
ing a few hours before they are re
moved from the seed bed, by trans-
fllanting as soon as possible and by'
protecting the plants during . trans-1
planting. This can be done by sub-'
merging the roots in a bucket of wa-1
ter, by sprinkling the plants, by cov- j
erlng the plants with a damp cloth dr j
sack or by .^otecting the roots with ^
soil,” concluded Mr. Schoth. i

Selection of Dairy Cow |
Is of Much Importance
Discussing the selection of a dairy
cow in relation to pedigree, an ex*'
pert sa.vs that the most important
point 'to study was the production of
the dam. How much milk hadi she
given? What was her butterfat/per
centage? Length of lactation was in
herited, and should always be consid
ered when the only statement con
cerning the dam was that she gave
five gallons a day, or merely “the fuU
of two pails.” !
The only other animal in the pedi
gree that warranted close examina^'
tion in regard to productivity was th^|
dam of the sire of the heifer they j
were thinking of buying. Statistical j
analysis as well as the experiences of I
practical men seemed to Justify them I
in looking no farther, for these two— j
the dam on the one side and the!
paternal grand-dain on the other—re
flected the productivity of the remain
ing ancestors.
Milk yield, however, must always
be considered in relation to environ
ment.
I i
takes it, toa 1 luurdly see liow I
eould k^ liouse wit^ut Blade-
Draught. It has become a stand
by with tis, in keei^the child

Scott’s Emulsion
Anthracnose of Grapes
Becoming More Common
Grape anthracnose, or frequently
spoken of as bird’s-eye rot, is becom
ing more common. All green parts of j
the vines may be attacked but the dis
ease occurs most commonly on the
shoots or berries or grapes.
On the shoots small cankers are pro
duced, brown in color, rather depressed
in the center and raised at the border.
The spot 'enlarges and becomes longer j
in the direction of the main axis and
in the later stages the center becomes I
more depressed and turns grayish.
On the 1>erry or grape th«5 anthrac
nose has an appearance of a bird’s
eye, hence the name of bird’s-eye
spots or !bird’s-eye rot. The lesions
first appear as small, dark-brown
areas; later the color is grayish In
the center where the cuticle is rup
tured, but the border remains dark.
The spots Increase in size but instead
of elongating as they do on the canes
they remain somewhat circuiar. Be
tween the gray center and the dark
border is a well-defined band of bright
red, thus similar to a bird’s ey,e.
