Well, if you are a dairyman, or a farmer who keeps dairy cows, John A. Arey, Extension specialist of State College, sug gests several jobs you can do in January to more economically and satisfactorily manage your cow or herd. He recommends that cut-over land be shrubbed off preparatory ? % | Merry Christmas And A Happy | I New Year I t $ % + i * * t * We didn’t sell all the gas and oil that was used in this * $ county last year but we are certainly thankful for each $ * purchase that was made at our station. * * To each and every one we render our sincere thanks + % and at this season of the year we want to wish you all * $ a Happy Yuletide Season and many joys during the % * New Year, 1940 * !

G to seeding it to permit pasture the latter part of February. “It is much easier to develop a good sod on this kind of land, which is fertile and full of organic mat ter, than on depleted soils,” the specialist stated. Other jobs for January listed by Arey are: Build and repair fences and dairy buildings. Build a sefety bull pen. Start the new year right by placing your herd in a Dairy Herd Improvement Association. It is the surest way to learn whether your cows are “earning their keeps” and whet her you are providing them with correct amounts and kind of feed. Also as a suggestion for every winter month, the Extension dairyman said that the cow stall should be bedded liberally with cut ctover, wheat straw, or oat straw. “Bedding not only pro vides comfort for the cow, but it also holds the valuable manure which is largely lost when the amount of bedding is insufficient, or the kind used is not absorb ent. “Cut stover is the best type of cow stall bedding, with oat straw next best, and wheat straw third,” Arey said. “Pine needles and shavings are of the least value.” FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED Question: What is the best ma terial for treating cottonseed to control damping-off? Answer: The two percent ethyl mercury chloride is very good. This chemical is sold under the trade name of 2 percent Ceresan and can be procured at any seed, hardware, or drug store. When used at the rate of three ounces to the bushel of seed it gives ef fective control of the disease. Re seuts from 251 farm tests made within the past few years show that seed treated with Ceresan produced enough extra lint .to practically pay the fertilizer costs Extension Folder No. 39 gives full directions for the use of this material and a copy may be had free upon application to the Ag ricultural Editor at State College. Question: Should I select eggs of some definite weight for hatch ing purposes? Answer: Best results are al ways obtained from eggs that weigh 24 ounces to the dozen, but in addition to the weight , hatch ing eggs should be clean, fresh, well-informed, of good shell tex ture, and icf a color conforming to the requirements of the bread. Eggs that are round, small, short, thin shelled, or those that have ridges around tthem should be set aside for some consumption and not used for hatching. At this time cf the year, eggs for hatch ing should be collected two or three times a day to prevent chilling. Question: How much tobacco seed is required for planting a ] seed toed? , j Answer: One ounce of seed j should be used to each 300 square yards of bed. A more prac tical measure is to use one tab- • *s"‘ i fespoonful of recleaned seed to each 100 square yards. Mix the seed thoroughly with cottonseed meal, dry sand, ashes, lor fertil izer before sowing. For an even stand, half of the seed should be sown in one direction and .the remaining half across the bed at right angles to the first showing. o In the two years since the first soil conservation district was QUICK RELIEF FROM Symptoms of Distress Arising from STOMACH ULCERS DUE TO EXCESS ACID Fre« Book Tolls of HomoTiwatment that Most Help or KWW Cost You Nothing Over one million bottle* of the WILLARD TREATMENT have been aotd for relief of symptoms of distress arising from Stomach and Duodenal Wears due to beam Add Pm Digestion, tour or Upset Stomach, Oitlnm.
