Years ago the average farmer used an almanac as a text book and guide, preparing the soil and planting in ac- cordance with certain signs of the Zodlac, said Mr. Koiner. Formerly it was believed that planting seed during the sign of Taurus, the bull, or Leo, the lion, would result in strong plants and a large crop. The cruei “treatment” for “hollow horn” and “hollow tail,” imaginary ail- ments of cattle, was poipted to as an- other example of superstitious practice which has disappeared. The “treat- ment” consisted in boring a hole in the horn, splitting the tail and pouring a salt and vinegar into the | animal’s ear. One of the most important phases of work of the State Department of Agri- &ulture is the distribution of informa- jon.
