KINGH 77 7 Raministrator. . = P s S b i A S SHORT COURSE ABANDONED. ; The administration of Connecticut Agricultural college at Storrs has de- cided not to hold +“he annual short winter course in agriculture this year. Crowded conditions at the state school are responsible for the decision. The short winter course was imsti- tutlé‘:ii fl‘gmie ¥ u‘: to 'meolt.._a de- mal r instrus n in: agriculture-on ‘the part of tumwa.n'd young men and women from the farms whe could not afford the time or expense of a regular course. ‘The course congisted of eight. weeks' work and was usu: held " in January or February. For the first time, all dormitory ac- commodations of the college arc crowded. So great was the request for entrance to the college courses this fall, nearly 50 applicationg had to be refused. Every available room on the was pressed . into service, in addition to several private homes in the vicinity which were recently pur- chased by the college. Not only are dormitory accommeda- tions at the state school at a premium this year but classrooms are labora- tories are overcrowded. Applications received last fall for entrafice to the college courses were about 75 per cent. greater than in previous years. The inerease is attributed largely to the advertising which the eollege received in its war activities. The college will seek te compensate to some extent for failure to give the short course at Storrs by a series of extension schools to be held over the state this winter, PLAN FOR ICE HARVEST. With the memory of last season’s short ice crop, it is probable that ear- lier attention will be given to the ice harvest this winter. Farmers who har- vest their own ice are generally mak- ing plans to avoid a shortage next summer. The United States department of agriculture gives information ot vawe relative to storage capaeity required for ice. A cubic foot of ice weighs about 57 pounds, and from 40 to 50 cubie feet of space should be allowed or each ton of ice. A foot of space hould be left between the ice and the surrounding walls for insulation unless the house is well insulated. Further insulation should be allowed above and below the ice, In some localities of low tempera- tures ice is frozen in metal cans or in fibre containers. By far the greater part of the ice crop, however, is taken from natural lakes, ponds or clear water streams. NO DECLINE IN FARMING. Refutation of the oft-repeated asser- tion that acre-yields of farm crops in the United States are on the decline as a result of waning soil fortility is en in the recent report of the ited States secretary of agriculture. Secretary Houston points out that improved methods of farming and bet- ter machinery have, in fact, resulted in 4 slizhtly slow but sure improve- ment of acre-yields. This fact, /he ys, is nowhere more clearly marked than in the New England and north Atlantic states. Mr. Houston says: The results of agricultural opera- tions d 3 the war furnish guaranty y of the present farm pop- ulation of the country, with the area now fn farms and in the existing state of agricultural science and pracitce. to meet the nation’s necessities for the near future if the requisite incentives hed. But there are reasons result of improved processes and bet- ter practices in all sections, there has heen an upward tendency in the acre- vields. As a mattervof faet, the view secems more frequently to be expressed that in this respect American agricul- ture has deteriorated. The facts di prove this, and in no part of the uni m strikingly than in the-older r ns, such as the New England and h Atlantfe states. Crop vields ner aere In the United States show an upward tendency dur- in~ the peried for which we have.re- iable comparahble statistics. The a eraze rate of increase for the nast vears has been about one-half of one per cent. a year. This gain is not readily ohserved from one vear to sn- other ewine to the wide yvearly fluntn- ations in vield. But when averages for a series of yields are ohtained the ef- fect of the seasonal variations iz la Iv meutralized and the general trend s clear. HELP ON CENSUS BLANKS, The county agricultural agents in Connecticut have been supplied with sample schedules of the 1920 census dealing with agricultural information, Farmers who are at a loss to under- stand the intricate mazes of the cen- sus bianks may get assistance without charge from the county agents. No previous census, it is said, has ever been so complete in its survey of the country’s agriculture.- Both -in point of farm production and farm purchases, the schedules call for de- tailed information that should make the census of value in working out problems in the nation's agricultural economices. ‘It is also pointed out that the labor involved in making out the census re- ports will be of value to farmers in making their income tax returns. Auy person who still contends that a eol- lege education is without practical value to a farmer sheuld wrestle for a time with the census blanks and the income tax reports. Each nuts the farmer to a test of mental gymnastics that makes even tWe best educated’ feel that a course in higher mathematics is essential to success in farming. LONGER HOURS FOR HENS. Artificial lighting, when properly done, is not forcing, but rather allow- ing normal production. 3 Lighting is really a feeding problem, the lights simply allowing the hens to eat longer. Lights from § o’clock a. m. until day- light each morning have given excel- lent results, providing enough extra food is given during the shortest days for normal production. Lights from 4 o'clock a. m. to dav- light and up to 9 o'clock p. m. at night have given abnormal production dur- ing December and January, with a moult and drop In production later. :Vhich resulted in a loss due to light- ng. A gasoline lantern or barn lantern will do the work perfectly well. Hens need water as soon as they come off the roosts. If electric lights and a time clock are a vart of the equinment, heater water fountains must also be used in freezing weather. Hens resnond to lights quicker than puilets, huf lizhts should not be used an hreeding stock unless during the hreeding season.—¥From Poultry Calen- Inr. Connecticut Agriculutral College, Storrs. FACTORIES ON THE FARM. Now that prohibition has brought a tremendous increase in the manufac- ture of cider and grape juice, it is in- teresting to know at just what point the farmer who runs a cider mill on the side ceases to be a farmer and be- comes a manufacturer, The agricultural division of - the forteenth census draws a rather fine line betweén farm and factory opera- tions. It is going to require hard thinking ,on the part of enumerators to make the distinetion in a -great' many instances. On this score .the census directions offer the following G ¥ | \ distinctions between farm and fae- tory: 3 = The manufactute of butter, cheese, dried fruits, cider, vinegar, grape julee or other products may be carried on in buildings or plants qperated eitherl f in the census of agriculture, | (1) in connection with farms or (2) as independent manufacturing enter- prises. In the latter case such build~ ings and plants are to be regarded as factories to be covered by the census of manufacturers and not to be in- cluded But unless it is cleap that such baild- ings or plants are operated as a man- ufacturing enterprise independent of the farm, you should include the vajue of such buildings. with. that of the farm buildings with that of the farm buildings and the value- of ‘such ma- £ v frrther optimism. -As has been re- | Ary out the tops faster than the roots peatedly pointed out, we gtill have a|can také up moisture.

Cattle lice live onymany cows the year around, but.indrease greatly in winter months. They increase in num- bers as the oily skin secretions de- crease when the weather gets colder. Cattle lice are most numerous on the -{ head, neeck, withers and thighs. The earlier the treatment for cattle lice begins, the easier and mgre effec-’ tive ‘the control measures. aw lin- seed oil is a cheap and ‘effective con- trol. The oil may be applied with a brush at the time of grooming. The application should be repeated either twelve or thirteen days later as it will get the lice before they get again into the egg stage. To keep the cows free, repeat each month after the second treatment. After applying any control measure do not allow the cows to go into the direct sunlight, for at least twelve hours. Do not exercige the stock after the application and do not apply vig- orously os the skin of the cow is very sensitive to injury.—G. H., Lamson, Professor of Entomology, Connecticut Agricultural College, Storrs, FALL IS THE BEST TIME TO PLANT FRUIT TREES Fruit trees planted in the fall have a better chance for successful growth than those planted in the late spring, according to Prof. F. N. Fagan of the horticultural department of the Penn- sylvania State college. This is not true, however, of trees planted in early spring as soon as the frost is out of the soil. In most years fall planting is suc- cessful. The trees pecome established in the soil. The roots become embed- ded and supply moisture so the trees are ready for immediate growin the following spring, although they will not grow to.any extent during the winter, he disadvantages of fall planting that the soil may freeze too deep and prevent..the poorly established roots taking up enough moisture to supply ithe top, and that the trees face injury from. rabbits and.mice. The former condition is apt to prevail if there are long periods of low tempera- ture accompanied by high winds that perature rarely continues low enough 10 cause deep freezing, fall planting can be done to good advantage. as the levigth of the planting: period is much longer in the fall than in the spring. he soil is not frozen when the trees re set out they can be planted as late 15 the last of November or early De- cember, Well matured trees are essen- ial for fall plapting, and they should 10t be removed from the nursery until they have become’' dormant. FATTEN LAMBS FOR MARKET. Sheep breeders who have not mar- keted their surplus lambs or cull ewes would find it profitable to fatten them before marketing. “These sheep or lambs should not be sent to market thin or half fat. The ‘market is aiready overcrowded with unfinished lamb or mutton and there is always a-strong demand for prime lamb and mutton. The future consumption of lamb and mutton will depend largely on the suality of the meat supplied to the consumer, says' R. E. Begg of the ex- tension service of. Connecticut Agri- cultural colleze at Storrs. The breeder has this largely under hjs control by not marketing 'his surplus stock until it is finished and ready for market. It will pay any farmer to commence it once to give a little extra feed to the wether lambs, cull ewes lambs and old ewes. They should be separated from the rest of the flock and given the r\;lndot a small yard adjoining an open shed. The roughage may consist of elover, alfalfa or mixed hay, preferably the clover or alfalfa. If roets or silage afre available they will ma%rially lessen the amount of concentrates fed and thus reduce the cost of fattening. Silage may be fed up to one or two pounds per day, roots two to four pounds per. day. A gogd concentrate ration is corn two parts, oats one nart and wheat bran one part. If legume hay is used, more corn may be fed in the concentrate- ration. . The bran is very useful because of ifs laxative ef- fect and will help keen.the lambs from zoing off feed.. Start the concentrate ration with about one:quarter nound| ver day, gradually inereasing up to on an done-half poinds per day on ful feeding lambs should have salt larly twice a day, morning and ing. Regularity in feeding {8 very important. Do not feed more than they will elean up at a meal as sheep will go hungry before they will eat soiled food. The best lambs may- be ready for the Christmas season trade, but there will he a steadv demand through the win- ter for well finished Jambs. The lamb may be shorn before slaughter. i Ly Bu- en- GET RID OF SCRUB SIRE; RAISE BETTER LIVESTOCK By P. G. HOLDEXN., The scrub must go! The highest tpye of citizenship, the best homes, the best folks are found Wwhere_the livestock has.been the most used and the most improved. The higher the tpye of citizenship, the fewer scrub animals. Go where you may, we well always find that when people get through robing the soil and begin to develop a permanent, home-making agricul- ture, then we will find livestock. But breeds of livestock cannot be im- proved without the constant use of good sires. Because the sire is mated to a large number of females, the selec- tion of the sire is of great im- portance. A good sire is one that possesses, to a marked degres, the type we want in the offspring and the pre- jpotency to fix that type. The sire: of greatest value is not the one that sires a few exceptional ani#ls. It is the one whose off- spring are above.the average. _The sire should he pure bred. hut not a pure bred with a yellow streak,’ A sire y haye a fancy pedigree, yet BIVE dereh individual, poorly It Keeps the Mastery in Speed, Power and Endurance Through Exclusive Control of the Super - Six Motor How completely Hudson’s supremacy is acknowledged. hairbreadths. by conclusive margins, Its records are not held by They overshadow all others ' They bespeak the mastery of a type. That is clear to all. Consider that Hudson’s leadership is not divided. It is not merely the fleetest of cars. It holds all the worth while power and accel- eration records, too. But chiefly it is famous for endurance. No other car has ever shown such endurance proofs. Look at the records. Even more important, observe how 80,000 Super-Sixes now in service, confirm all the fine qualities Hudson has proved in scores of tests. Hudson’s Finest Qualities Are Exclusive The Hudson is a triumph of type. Al it has done is due to the exclusive Super-Six motor, which minimizes vibration and in- creases motor power by 72%, without added weight or size. That principle accounts for Hudson's un- equalled endurance. It accounts, too, for its great advantages of speed, hill-climbing and power over any other type. And unless Hudson consents no other maker can use the principle of the Super-Six motor. It is the only supreme feature ever controlled by a single maker. , THE BARRETT-HUDSON CO. 324 MAIN STREET, NORWICH, CONN. Demonstration at any time ERNEST WHITE, Manager % Hudson Records Are A Triumph of Type Such records as the double transcontinen- tal run of 7,000 miles in 10 days and 21 hours would have been impossible without it. . Again its endurance was revealed in speedway racing. For time after time Hud- - son special racers, embodying the Sueer—Six principle defeated swifter racing machines, some of which cost upwards of $40,000, simply because the Hudsons kept running, when the terrific pace forced others to the repair pits. It is noteworthy that Hudson records have stood for almost five years. In other . fields five years have seen practically all records topple. The Hudson retains supre- macy, because it has the exclusive right to the Super-Six motor. it is the Most Wanted Fine Car Its sales prove that. Ever since its famous tests proved Hudson the greatest endurance and speed car, it has been the largest selling fine car in the world. Now The demand has always of supply. In some seasons more than 80,- been in excess thousands have waited months for delivery of certain models. That condition is we have every reason to believe, will be repeated this year, Therefore, if you'intend to get a Hudson, you will save disappointment by ordering ai%eld of the desired date of delivery.

STORRS HENS GAIN IN LAST WEEK’'S LAYING The hens in the laying contest at Storrs laid a total of 1461 eggs, or a vield of 21 per cent.; this is a gain of 28 eggs as compared Wwith the pre- vious week’s production and within two eggs Of the ¢xact number produc- &d in the fourth week. The leadinzg pen of Rhode Island Reds entered by VIVIAN cannot improve ‘Pincrest - Orchards Mass., were in first place with a pro- duction of 48 eggs. Another Massa- chusetts pen of Leghorns entered by Glenhope Farm from Pittsfield, were second best for the week with a yield of 43 eggs. Merrythought Farm’'s Leghorns from Columbia. Conn., fol- lowed them with 40 eggs for the week. The Buff Wyandottes owned by H. P. Cloyes of East Hartford, Conn, were next in line with 38 eggs to their credit. E. A. Ballard's Leg- horns from Chestnut Hill, Pa., were fifth with 34 eggs. During the current contest a rather important change has been made in the grain ration. Instead of includ- ing variey and oats in the scratch grain the management is using a mixture which consists of equal parts by weight of cracked corn and wheat. ‘This is not perhaps the very cheapest ration that one ‘can use, but it should be remembered in considering poor quality feads that a hen has to eat more coarse iced containing a lot of fibre than they do of a clean wholesome grain, all of which is available for her use. In other words a low price feed is not necessarily the most economicai ra- tion to use. The grain mixture men- lbefure the war and is MARTIN .
