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.

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. $: A appiness go | PT. STORE I ? r" Murphy, N.

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 ?o ^ W hen his car was tagged for a (legal parking.
