FEED DAIRY COWS
CULL SWEET POTATOES
Unmarketable sweet potatoes
may be fed to dairy cattlg with
excellent results, says R. H. Ruff-
ner, head of the animal husban
dry department at State College.
Both the tubers and the vines
make a good, palatable feed
which will produce milk and
butter of high quality.
But livestock men can afford
to feed only cull potatoes or
those which cannot be marketed
for human consumption at a
fairly good price, Ruffner points
out.
Sweet potatoes about one-fourth
the total feed value of an equal
weight of corn. Consequently,
dairymen cannot afford to allow
more than one-fourth the price of
corn for the sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes may be fed
cov/s in place of corn silage.
Since there are 25 pounds of di
gestible nutrients in 100 pounds
of potatoes, while an equal weight
of silage contains only 17 pounds,
the cows will not need as much
potato feed as silage.
When sweet potatoes are fed,
the cows should also get eight
to ten pounds of legume hay to
balance the ration, as potatoes
consist mostly of starch and
sugar.
From 25 to 30 pounds of po
tatoes a day may be fed the
average cow, but it, is advisable
to feed only five to ten pounds
a day to start. The quantity may
be increased gradually as the
cows learn to eat the roots.
BEES NEED CAREFUL
ATTENTION IN FALL
The value of next year’s honey
crop is largely dependent upon
the care and management given
the bee colonies this fall.
If the colonies are carried
through the fall and winter in
good shape, they will be ready for
heavy production in the spring,
says F. B. Meacham, entomolO'
gist at State college.
Give all colonies a thorough
examination in Septeihber, he
urges beekeepers, and pay care
ful attention to the condition of
the queen, amount of honey,
number of bees, and space for
brood rearing and nectar storage.
Young queens are best, since
they produce a large amount of
brood in August, September and
part of October. Bees produced
at this time are the ones which
survive the winter.
’Three-banded or leather color
ed Italian queens, which can be
purchased for 50 cents each from
reliable breeders, are most de
sirable, Meacham states. Replace
all queens over a year old, or
black and failing queens.
A colony which does not con
tain the equivalent of two or
two or three Hoffman frames full
of brood on September 1 is hard
ly worth wintering by Itself,
Often such colonies are not able
to survive the winter.
Weak colonies can be united
with strong ones by placing them
together with a sheet of new^-
papef between. By the time the
bees eat holes through the paper
they will have become acquainted
with one another and .will not
fight.
* Golden rod, aster or Iron
weed, and heartease or smart-
weed In many sections of the
state will yield a, few pounds of
honey In the fall, Thiq- may be

Unfortunately, we ht're in Amer

is exactly the opposite. It is an

REXUSTRAlioiN .... of aliens
There is no nation except ours
in the world that permits foreign
ers to enter and move about free
ly without identification cards and
registration with the police or
municipal authorities.
These other nations protect the
liberties of-their own people a-
gainst infringement by foreigners
who don’t understand or are not
inclined to conform to their laws
and customs, by keeping the clos
est tab on everybody who is not
a citizen. In most countries a
landlord is subject to severe pen
alty if he rents an apartment or
a hotel room to an alien without
first inspecting the foreigner’s
passport and other papers and im
mediately reporting the visitor to
the police.
I have a strong feeling that the
United States *would have much
less of a crime problem if we
kept the same kind of tab on
every stranger within our gates.

RELIEF goes astray

the United States who are draw

state or Federal sources. Some of
them, to be sure, have taken out
their first papers. One case I
heard of recently is that of. a
man and wife who have never
earned a cent since they came to
America. She was a widow ^with
five children, he is a widower
with six children, and their joint
progeny has added another half-
dozen or so to the population of
America. The man has been sup
ported by charity almost from
the time of his entrance into this
country.
By any sensible test of qualifi
