TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED AT STATE COLLEGE Question: How much whole milk should be fed a young calf? Answer: The amount to feed for the first week will vary from six to ten pounds daily, depending upon the size and vigor of the calf. A safe rule to follow is to feed one pound of whole milk for each ten pounds of live weight of the calf. During the second week, the daily allowance can be increased from one to two pounds if the calf's appetite is good and if the animal shows no signs of indigestion. After this the whole milk should be gradually changed to skim milk at the rate of about one pound a day until all whole milk has been substi tuted with skim milk. Question: Is it safe to put ferti lizer in rows when planting gar den crops? Answer: Recent experiments with fertilizer placement for row crops indicate that it is best to put the fertilizer in narrow bands on each side of the seed. This helps to avoid too great a con centration of fertilizer salts near the roots of the plants, especially during the seedling stage. The same results, however, may be ob tained by placing the fertilizer in the rows, if the application is made a week or ten days before planting and the fertilizer is mixed thoroughly with the soil. Broadcast applications are desir able when the rows are spaced close enough to require hand cul tivation. Question: Is there any sure -way of preventing mite infestation of the hen house? Answer: There is no method of poultry management that will guarantee against the appearance of mites in the house. The best method is to observe strict sani tation and check at least once a week for the mites. If they are found, remove litter and nesting material from the house. Detach the perch poles and scrape away all dried droppings. The interior of the house and the perch poles should then be sprayed with some exterminating remedy such as a combination of equal parts of spent motor oil and kerosene; commercial carbolineum, or coal tar dip. The spray should be driven into all cracks and crev ices in the house. The treatment should be repeated if the mites reappear. SENIOR CLASS IS TO PRESENT PLAY APR. 16 Always popular is the play that chronicles the triumph of an un bounded- faith in human nature. And that is the theme of the play "Up the Hill to Paradise," which the Senior class of the local school will present at the school auditorium Friday evening, April 16, at 8 o'clock. There is kind ly Miss Abbie Field, too "trustin," her sharper sister, Hester, de clares. So touching Is her faith in human nature that one of her summer boarders, the case hard ened, Herbert Sax, flinches and refuses to take her mortgage money for his phoney stock com pany. The play abounds in ap pealing roles, Including a comic, elderly suitor, a wise-cracking city lad, a sweet, old mother and a laughable darkey cook. The list of characters will be published in The Tribune next week. CARD OF SHANKS The family of the late H. M.
