Timely Farm Questions
Question: What fertilizer should
I use in my young orchard?
Answer: Applications of barnyard
manure, poultry house sweepings
or a 5-7-5 commercial mixture
will keep up he fertility on most
soils, hut wher the trees show a weak
growth, additional side applications
of nitrate of soda or other ready
available nitrate fertilizer should be
made. For apple trees, the ate of
applications should be one-half pound
for the first year and an increase of
one-half pound for each succeeding
year. Peach, pear, plum, and cherry
trees require a quarter pound of soda
with an increase of the same amount
each year. Two pounds of the 5-7-5
mixture should be applied to the
apple and one pound to the other
fruits the first year with increases
each year of like amounts.

5 The Cher
Plan Better Feed
For Dairy Cows
A good New Year's resolution for
dairy farmers is recommended by
John A. Arey, extension dairy specialist
at State College:
"Let's begin the year right by resolving
to give our dairy cows good
care and plenty of good feed all
through the year."
Uncomfortable cows fed on rations
that are deficient in quality and
quantity cannot produce all the good,
rich milk they should, he emphasized.
"We don't expect efficient service
from work stock housed in uncomfortable
quarters and fed barely a 'maintenance
ration,' " he said. Why expect
moqe of a dairy cow which has
a more difficult function to perform
and is less able to stand adverse
weather than animals carrying more
flesh?
"Let us resolve further that during
the year our cows will receive an adequate
amount of a good grain mix.
ture properly balanced with the
roughage in their diet."
If the supply of roughage for this
winter is short resolve that this shall
not happen again. Arey urged. Figure
out how much roughage will be
needed next winter, then plant enough
legumes and silage crops to supply
the herd.
There should be at least two tons
of hay and four tons of silage for
each mature cow in the barn.
Non-leguminous crops such as coqn
stover, grass hays, and the like may
be used to supplement the legumes,
Arey pointed out, but should not be
used as a complete substitute for
them.
Since high production is an inherit
ed characteristic, all dairy farmers
should resolve to use only good production
bred bulls, and to test both
dams and daughters to determine the
ability of the bull to transmit high
producing capacity to his daughters.
Although holdup men hound his
hands and feet with ropes to the
steering gear of Iiis truck after they
had robbed him. E. C. Green of
Muncle. Ind.. managed to drive
to a farm a few* mites away for assistance.
without ill results, but eventually the
turkeys will come down with blackhead.
Most chickens have small,
round worms in which the germ causing
blackhead in turkeys live before
affecting the turkeys and all chickens
are therefore dangerous to turkeys.
For this reason turkeys should be
kept entirely separate from the chickens
at all times and not even allowed
to range on ground where chickens
have been.
i I
Question: Should ewes be fed a,
grain ration before lambing:?
Answer: Under ordinary condi-1
lions it will not be necessary to feed
ewes any grain except in bad weather
as there is usually sufficient temporary
and permanent pastures available
in this State. When the weather is
severe and no grazing is available
each ewe should receive about two
pounds of good legume hay each day.
In addition to the hay the ewe should
receive a small ration of grain for
three to four weeks before lambing.
A mixture of one-half pound of corn
and oats, or com alone for each ewe
a day will ibe satisfactory provided
legume hay is fed. Otherwise, the
arrjain ration should contain from 30
to 35 percent of cottonseed meal or
linseed oil meal.

Farm Inventory Shows
Annual Progress Made
An annual inventory of farm pro.
perty and equipment together with a
statement of liabilities, will show the
farmer whei^e he stands, said Dr. G.
W. Forster, agricultural economist
at State College.
The difference between the assets
and liabilities represents the equity
or net worth of the farmstead, he
explained.
Inventories taken the first of each
year will also show the progress made
from year to year as the farm is
built up and improved, and will show
the depreciation of buildings and
equipment. Dr. Forster added.
Often a faijner neglects his property
and equipment because he does not
realize how fast they are deteriorating.
Annual inventories will help focus
his attention on the depreciation resulting
from neglect. Dr. Forster
pointed out. and will thus serve as
a stimulus to taking better care of
his property.
In case of losses by fire, a carefully
prepared inxentory will reveal
the value of the assets destroyed.
Such a record will be an aid in obtaining
the proper, adjustment from the
insurance company, when the losses
i Carotins
ire covered by insurance. c
An inventory already prepared is v
in aid in securing credit, Dr. Forster
vent on, as most bankers and other
:redit agencies require a statement IV
>f assets and liabilities and of the ^
let gain or loss per year. j,
Moreover, he stated an inventory
s the starting point or basis for keepng
farm accounts .and all good farm- ^
?rs keep accounts of their business. n
