Uncle Jitti Says ? Specialists of the State College Extension Service have found that contour cultivation not only con serves valuable soil, but by saving water it also increases the chances of a full yield of crops per acre. Timely Farm Questions Answered at State College QUESTION: Does the feeding of a moist mash aid in egg pro duction? ANSWER: There is little to be gained by feeding moist mash con tinuously through the year, but it has an important place in feeding laying hens during the summer months. It will stimulate produc tion in laying hens from June un til October by increasing the con sumption of animal protein and producing an appetizing effect on the birds when egg production is subnormal. The best time to feed the mash is about two o'clock each day. Three pounds of the regular laying mash moistened with hot water or milk for each 100 birds will give excellent re sults. QUESTION: When should I se lect tobacco plants for next year's seed? ANSWER: Select the seed plants before the tobacco is top ped. Select the plants that are typical of the variety planted with the leaves well spaced on the stalk. Bag the selected plants in 14 pound paper bags just before the first bloom opens to prevent cross-pollination. Prune the bran ches of the seed pod to three or four in order to give room for development under the bag and apply the bud worm bait to the seed pods before bagging. One plant will produce about oue-lialf ounce of seed aud, for best results, the plants should again be selec ted alter the tobacco is matured. QUESTION: How soon after shearing should sheep be dipped? ANSWER: The sheep should be dipped from ten days to two weeks after shearing when all cuts made at shearing have healed. Usually one dipping is sufficient, but if any ticks, lice or mite^ are pres ent, the dipping should be repeat ed ten days later to destroy any parasites that may have hatched from eggs since the first dipping. The treatment should be made in the morning of a warm sunny day so that the fleece will get thor oughly dry before night. Any standarcMlip mixture will give good results if directions are fol lowed.
