growing section of the United
States.
This area has been most for
tunate in being free from ex
treme cold Or heat; and, in the
memory of the oldest citlsen,
there has not been a complete
failure of any of the fruit crops
mentioned. This, perhaps, would
be accounted for by the fact that
this area is located in what is
known as the Thermal Belt.
The fruit growers of this area
during the past year have used

itemized as follows:
14 carloads of nitrate of soda,

QUESTION AND ANSWER
Question: I have some chick
ens about nine weeks old and sev
eral appear to have weak legs.
What causes this?
Answer: As only a fe* of the;
chicks are affected, it would ap-'
pear that the diet is well balanc
ed because a larger number
would show this condition if this
were not balanced. Apparently
thp birds affected are of low con
stitutional vigor and cannot uti
lize the feed offered. All affected
birds should be destroyed, but
should also be opened and exam
ined tor worms before final dis
position. To be sure about the
diet, this should be checked at
once to. that it la pi-oparly
