A farm is understocked when pasture, ‘'stover, straw, etc., low ‘grade products, are not all-utilized in feeding stock, and a loss in feed as well as a slackening of productive labor -occurs in winter. All forms of the live stock industry are carried on primarily on cheap feed and by means of cheap labor. If a farm is overstocked it follows' that most of the labor is being utilized on products’ that in general are produced on a very low margin of profit: On the other hand if most of the time is spent in crop productions, there is a waste of many low grade products produced on every farm.. such ' as poorer grades of hay, corn stalks, straw, etc, and the farmer is more- over not likely to be kept busy the whole year. Most of the hens are produced on farms with flocks of less than a hun- dred which means that they can pick up a large part of their living on the farm. Most of the dairy products of the country are produced by. herds of six to ten cows using primarily unsalable products for feed. Beef stock is main- tained till the finishing period on pasture or range, cheap feed. Hogs, even in the corn belt, are beinz pro- duced more commonly than before on pasture, good. grain being. utilized only to fatten. Sheep in the ecast are usually grown in small flocks as scavengers. Colts are raised where horses are busy only a part of the year. The work on all these products is very largely done with home labor, women, children, and the farmer him- self, after nearly a full day’s work in the field. This vast amount of stock kept in small flocks or herds, on low grade products and handled with cheap labor controls in a great measure the price.t (We have only to note the sudden drop in the potato market and the reason for it to realize that the small producers will control the price.) This means then that the man who is overstockeq must feed high priced feeds and use high priced labor and compete directly with-the small pro- ducer using only cheaper feeds and cheaper labor. It means also that the man who is understocked fails to utilize unsalable products which means a direct loss. What shall we do to remedy eithert condition? On most general farms it will re- quire one cow or her equivalent for each 5 or 6 acres of crops to use up the low grade or waste & products, straw, stover, swale hay, -soft corn, etec. With that number of stock many of our Connecticut farms would have very few cows. We are primarily a and dairy state. Because of the antage of good ‘markets our' farms nyight profitably be more heavily stocked, even to the expense of one cow or equivalent to each 2 acres of crops. What then of the other stock? So far as hogs are -concerned, the feed used by them is rarely fed to ather stock. Practically every farmer a aste sufficient “to grow on two hogs, and home grown ho: far cheaper than “grocer hos little other feed than that-picked up is necessary for a farm flock of hens, except in winter. A rcolt can be raised once in a while provideq it comes when work for the mare is least. But on a farm stocked to capacity with dairy cows. for every seven sheep added one dairy cow must he subtracted. On those farms less heavily stccked, sheep may be added to advantage, and a few few sheep kept when a large flock could be kept at a probable loss. The high prices ool and lambs may offset this for few years, and make larger flocks safe to say that beef and sheep usually as profitable as dairy are cows on poorer land and distant from a railroad. “One of the most of farming the east is da combined with hay and other crops. It is safer and usually profitable pays AGRICULTURAL ‘INTERESTS ng | cash better for typical dairy farms in Con- necticut to keep only stock enough to use up the hiv and silage in a poor ¥ Other . 4 irs there wii: ®e some todse E A ~-Only when Jock pays exceptionally well is it adv.sable to increase them above this point and then pure breds may well be introduced. ~ Only by study,- in detail, of each farm business can definite sugzestions be made.

Abell, Connecti- cut- Agricultural College. PLANNING FOR GREATER PRO- DUCTION. Some Important Things To Think About. Just how many farmers are plan- ning their work. They realize that the big part which they have to do in carrying on the war to a successful end is to managé the farm for the greatest amount of production possi ble. Farmers in general are more than doing their share to accomplish this end, even though it affects their plans materially. With production the big end and aim, and all energies di- rected to its accomplishment, farming has reached a phase where the non- essentials are suspended until such time as other and mofe important work has been done. Recoznizing this ~ responsibilit; many farmers are carrying on onl such work as is absolutely essentia for production. Some of the things which_may be classed as non-es- sentials at the present time are cle: ingg and draining land, painting, putting up new buildings, and build- ing new fences. Just how much work of this nature will be necessary must be left to the judgment of the in- dividual farmer. Eliminating = such work may bring discouraging sights to the farmer at this time, but will greatly reduce th= amount of labor re- quired for non-productive work. Some farmers will grow a greater acreage of crops thfs year than can be harvested by the regular working iforce. The surplus acreage will be harvested direct by the live stock, principally swine, for which it is raised. The amount of farm labor | that can be climinated by this means makes possible a considerable in- crease in business, and bigger business of course gives opportunity for in- creased urofits. Such crops as 3 and corn may be s_manner throughout the growing season, with increased profitsprofits. but with no labor and no loss-of fertility of soil. Naturdlly a larger area in crops means an increase in the amount of live stock, and this live stock should be of a high grade. It is poor effi- ciency to raise feed for animals unless they are above the average. Feeding high' priceqd products to a poor quality of live stock creates a market for the product that brings returns below the market price. These are important things to think about. They may not seem important in. individual cases, but if every far- mer in this state acted upon these sug- gestions, the result would be sign cant. for there are more than 25,000 r farmers in Connecticut. — B, A McDonald, Connecticut Agricultural College. SPRAYING AS A PREVENTIVE. A Matter of Protection Which Needs Attention, Do you carr: fon your house, | fire starts same principle applies plants against damage by chewing in- sects and fungi. Protection should precede, not follow, the attack. Lock the barn before, not after, the horse has been stolen. Don't wait until your property has beery injured in order to get a ‘“clear case” punishing the offender. Protect the plants first so that they will not be injured. Then the attenmpt to injure will bring its own punishment. Most plants are protecteq leaf-eating insects by spraying them with lead arsenate, 3 ils. paste (or 1% lbs. powder) in 50 galions of water. In the small garden it will be found more convenient to use an ounce of the poison (or % oz dry) to a gallon. a fire insurance policy e, or do you wait until a before taking out one?

We should spray from ev- ery side so that every leaf and twig may get thoroughly coated with the solution. The standard mate- rials are lime-sulphur, arsenate of lead, and nicotine sulphate or to- bacco solution. All these can be purchased ready to mix, except the self-boiled lime-sul- phur used in spraying peaches. When to Spray Apples. First spraying, just as buds swell.

Solution—same as in second spraying. If these three sprayings are thoroughly.done, almost perfect apples can be grown in most sections, but it is better to give two more sprayings, using the same solution. The fourth spraying should be given two weeks after the third, and the fifth, during the lasthalf of July or first of August. For Pears, Plums and Cherries. Practically the same calendar and mixtures used on the apples are satis- factory for pears, plums and cherries. It is a good plan, while spraying the apples, to go over the pears, plums and cherries. Spraying Peaches. For peaches, the first spraying can be given the same as for apples. Give the second spraying just after the shucks fall, but use self-boiled lime-sulphur instead of the commercial article and add arsenate of lead and nicotine, the same as with other fruit. Your experiment station or county agent will tell you how to prepare self-boiled lime-sulphur. Two more sprayings should be given peaches at intervals of about one month. Care should-be taken not to spray any. fruit when it. is in full bloom. - 75 Dust spraying has been discussed but -as yet machinery for -dusting trees is only_in_the experimental stage. ., .. . 3 i met with elsewhere.

All foliage | thus poisoned is protected for the re- mainder of the season, but new leaves will grow and the spraying must be repeated in order to protect them. What has been said about spraying with arsenical poisons the protection of the plant applies equally well to j the fungicides like Bordeaux mixture {and lime-sulphur. If the latter have Ino chance to gain a foothold but if 'Lhe pests entrench themselves it may be difficult to dislodge them and much damage may result. ‘With most sucking insects, however, it is different. To some extent the coating of lime-sulphur on the bark re- pels the young San Jose scales and prevents their becoming established upon it, but with most young sucking insects, like aphids ang leaf bugs, the invaders are affected only by a spray which hits them. Tt may kill by i suffocating them (i. e., closing their | breathing pores), or a direct cor- rosive action on their body tissues. Kerosene emuision, nicotine solution and lime-sulphur mixture are ex- amples of these contact insecticides, | which in general are not applied until the plant has become attacked so that the bugs can actually be hit by the spray. In these days no one should at- tempt to cultivate piants without preparing to fight pests. Spray pumps and materials should be purchased in advance and stored where they can be had when needed. The kind of spray outfit needed depends upon the kind and extent of work to be done, and varies from the small hand atomizer to the large and powerful gasoline engine and pump. In the small home gar- den the compressed sprayer, Wwith tank holding about 3% gallons, is fairly satisfactory. In larger gardens and small commercial fields a small barrel and pump mounted on wheels is to be recommended while in large plantations a power outfit may be the most gconomical, in the saving of la- bor and in getting the work done at the right time. There are many sources from which jinformation about such things may be obtained. Write to your County Agent the Connecticut Agricultural College, vour Agricultural experiment Station or to the U. S. Department of griculture. Most of these agencies have bulletins of information to give vyou. The Agricultural Station at NewHaven has recently published a Spray Calendar which will be of help to you. Ask for it. If you fail to diagnose the case, send specimens to the Station for examination. In these times of high prices and labor shortage, use the simplest meth- ods and devices and labor-saving ma- chinery so far as possible, but don't neglect your crops. Get busy. The bugs have no patriotism and labor famines and high prices mean nothing to them. They will get your food if you don't protect it—W. F. Britton, State Entomologist. GREEN FOODS FOR POULTRY. The. cost of feeding a back vyard flock of poultry can be reduced ma- terially by. the growing of green foods to take the place of high-priced grain. Poultry men throughout the country are hard hit by the high prices and the small flock, owner has the same problems to. solve, only in a less degree. There is no probability that grain will be any lower next winter as the war demands will take every available surplus’ for human consumption. It will be a patriotic duty as well as an economic necessity to use substitutes for the high-priced grains just as far as possible in feeding poultry the com- ing year, whether the flock is large or small. ‘It will be possible to reduce the srain bill by 20 per cent. if a proper supply of grass food is avail- akye.

Up to a short time ago they looked on the green food as a relish to keeo the hens in good condition more than as a staple| food for them. The pressure of wWar grain prices has forced them to sub- | stitute the green foods and the hens keep right on laying at about the same raté.

Rape is another good sum- food for hens. but it takes a little more room and is no better food for them. The hens relish either and do well on them. SOME WHEAT WINTER KILLED. The severe winter has injured some fields of winter wheat. It is always a question as to what js the best thing to do in such cases. By this time on can decide how great the injury has been. If half the plants are alive, it will pay to save the crop. Roll if possible. This will settle the soil ang help the crop. If more than half dead, it will prob- ably pay to disk and seed oats. Spring wheat cannot be seeded in to patch the winter. wheat. The two do not ripen at the same time. Where the wheat is intended for poultry, a poor stand may be some- times saved by sowing early oats or early barley in the partly killed wheat. The wheat will ripen a few days earlier but no great loss will resuit. This practice, however, is questionable and not definitely recommended.— Connecticut Agricultural College, Agronomy Department. GO AFTER THE WEEDS EARLY. The best way, to get ahead of the weeds’ is to attack them on the first cultivations with - good cultivators. They must be equipped with good, ceeee. $3.69 to $7.98 sharp shovels and fenders so that one can get up close to the corn and cul- tivate fairly deep without disturbing or covering young plants. If close cultivation is practiced care- fully for the first two- times there will be little danger of touching the corn roots as there will not be much root development near the surface between: the rows: until the corn has reached a_height of eight or ten inches. I always found ‘the best plan to get ahead of the weeds was. toStart cross- wise in the checked corn 'as soon after the first cultivation as possible. Weeds are much, . easier :to , combat when just coming thréugh the' ground. The first cultivations:are the’ones that count fn-this “battle. *° If the corn is harrowed a few days after planting with 4 spike-toothed harrow having the teeth set back at an angle of about forty-five de; one cultivation will be saved and many weeds destroyed.

The first part of this month, please, The raspberry and the blackberry patch now need little attention except to keep the aisles cultivated and the rows free from weeds. Pick off all the blossoms from newly- set strawberry beds; thus you send all the plants’ strength back into. themselyes—into growth. It is unwise to let plants fruit the first summer, except fall-bearing -varieties. Spray the Bordeaux-arsenate of lead mixture ‘on' the grape-vines soon after the blossoms idrop, and thus get ahead of fungous troubles, and also the grape-berry. moth - that: causes wormy grapes.—Farm Jpurnal.
