certain conclusions were adopted
that would apply to all of the work
under way. The meeting was held
in Chattanooga, Tenn., and as a result
of all the reports made at that
conference, Prof. Hostetler has releaselj
two important oondluslons.
He says, "Soybeans grazed with a
supplementary ration of 1.6. to 2.5
percent of shelled corn and with
minerals self-fed to pigs starting at
weights ranging from -25 to 85
pounds and making gains of approximately
40 to 75 pounds in the feeding
period of 8 to 10 weeks, produce,
usually carcasses of satisfactory degree
of firmness when a subsequent
gain in weight of 125 or morfe has
| been made by the pigs on corn with
1 tankage."
The second conclusion was that
! soybean fed as a supplement to corn
| in dry lot, in the ratio of one pound
of soybeans to three pounds of shelled
corn, to pigs ranging up to 130
j pounds in starting weights, will not
produce firm carcasses in the usual
case, when the hogs are killed after
a gain of about 100 pounds or more
has been made on this soybean
corn ration.

were healthy, vigorous, well dressed

to learn and were Interested in the

recreation activities that the extension
leaders had to offer."
Mr. Harrill stated tht all the visitors
had a lively couriosity. They
were attracted by the looms in the

in the power plants and workshops.
The tour of the City of

JEW BUNGALOWS TO HOUSE 75
Three Indian war canoes, just arived
from Old Town, Maine, were
aunched last week In the second
>asin near the camp of the Piedmont
Council Boy Scouts of America. This
vas made the occasion of much reoicing,
the boys having waited
atiently for several weeks to lay
iyes on the graceful lines of these
ipeedy craft. Each canoe will carry
en boys safely with an Eagle Scout

he light boats have made many
iwift trips through the first and
lecond basins propelled by sturdy
irms.
These war canoes ane not the only
ittractions that have been added to
he camp since its creation last year,
through the activities of Scout Exicutive
Schiele and his assistant Scout
ilaster Harmon, a corps of meuntain
aborers have, under their direction,
ransformed the temporary camp of
ast summer into what is coifeeded to
le the model camp of Region 5,
vhich .takes in North and South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
The camp site, comprising about
welve acres of land is located at
he head of an arm of the second
>a8in. There are five acres of level
and in the tract and seven acres
>f woodland throughout hill and valey.
The level part has been set
iside as an athletic field for base
(all, tennis, track events and other
ecreatlonal exercises. The larger
(lot, up-hill and down-dale, borders
he lake, affording a splendid bathng
beach and harbor for the war

Around the athletic field and
creened by a fine growth of trees

echnically as ai patrol hut, has builtn

Potato Spraying to
Increase the Yield
Many Dollars May Be Saved
to the Growers.
"By proper attention to disease control
through spraying, many thousands
of dollars may be saved by the potato
growers," says the plant pathologist
at the New Jersey College of Agriculture.
"The use of high-grade fertilizer,
planting vigorous seed, and thorough
cultivation are not the only steps necessary
to Insure the production of a
profitable potato crop. No matter how
much plant food Is avallnble In the
soil, It cannot be utilized by a plant
that has most of Its leaves destroyed
by fungus pests. The leaf Is the fae?

tnred and if not protected from diseases
It cannot be expected to give
maximum returns.
"Results obtained at the experiment
station the past five years show
conclusively thut where the potato
crop is properly sprayed, increased
yields will result A number of spray
tests conducted with the Irish Cobbler
variety since 1019 show an average Increase
of 42.6 bushels per acre from
spraying with home-made bordeaux
mixture. In tests conducted this year
on the farm of J. H. Kandle at Elmer,
Irish Cobbler potatoes sprayed seven
| times with home-made bordeaux mixture
gave 30 bushels more per acre
i than did unspraycd potatoes. On the
j L B. Van Derveer farm at Freehold,
! spraying Irish Cobblers and Green
Mountains gave Increased yields
amounting to 30 and fVO bushels per
I acre, respectively. In the light oi
these results It Is questionable If the
potato grower can afford to omit
spraying as one of the necessury steps
In potato growing."
New Whitewash Formula
Gives Durable Product
Whitewash acts as a germicide by
: covering and cleansing the wall and
j celling si/rfaces, and for this reason
j is excellent in the poultry house, dairy
harn, hog house, and other outbuildings.
A new formula developed within
recent years gives a product
which closely approaches j paint In
durability. ?
The ^old-fashioned whitewash Is
made of quicklime and water mixed
In the proportions of one pound of
lime to one gallon of water. Tills has
ttte disadvantage of being not very
durable and of rubbing dlf' badly on
.
the clothing of workers.
The New Jersey College of Agriculture
advises that whitewash may be
made durable, hard, glossy, and practically
waterproof by the addition of
salt, alum and sulphate of zinc. Such
a mixture Is good for both Interior
and exterior use. To make It, 1
bushel (62 lbs.) of quicklime ia
slacked In 12 gallons of hot water.
Then another solution Is made up of
the following: 1 pound of sulphate of
zinc, 1 pound of alum, 2 pounds of
salt, dissolved in 2 gallons of boiling
water. These two solutions are then
mixed together and 2 gallons of
skimmed milk are added.
Keep the mixture thoroughly stirred
while applying.
Most Successful Method
for. Controlling Weeds
Now Is the time to destroy the
weeds. Do not wait until they have
taken the field, but get out the har|
row and kill them before they get
the root started. Rvery weed that la
permitted to get a start takes some
of the essential food elementjL-that
might be used In producing healthy,
strong stalks of wheat or corn.
It Is pretty well established that
the man who delays his fight against
weeds until about all of them get
Inch or more In height Is decreasing
the yield of his crop.
The more successful method of controlling
the weed crop Is to not delay
until all the weed seed are germl- ,
nated but get busy and tight them as
soon as they break through the
ground. A man who follows the practice
of never ceasing his warfare
against the weeds never has to buy
corn for his hogs and horses.
Eggs From Pekin Ducks
Used Most for Hatching
Dticks may be re<l on tne rations ,
recommended for chickens, but better I - ? , '
results are usually secured by feeding 1
more green and vegetable feeds and a,
larger proportion of mash. Kggs from
Pekln ducks are used largely for
batching, and the profit Is secured In
producing green ducklings; therefore
these ducks are fed a maintenance ration
after they stop laying in the summer
until about December 1, when a
laying ration Is given and the amount
of mash increased.
Runner ducks have been introduced
as producers of commercial eggs, so
they should be fed laying rations
throughout the year If kept for egg
production.
