You will be doing them Good aiue of Liming in Improvement of Soil joints to U&serve in Raising Baby Chicks The old adage blood will tell is a true one in regard to baby chicks, according to J. W. Lumb, Kansas state agricultural veterinarian. A dangerous chicken disease, bacillary white diarrhea, is transmitted through the egg of the mother hen to her offspring, according to Lumb, and while the infected hens show no visible symptoms of the disease the germ is present and affects the young. As a rule the noninfected hen will produce 30 more eggs annually than will an Infected hen. While the eggs of the former have a higher percentage of hatchahility and the per cent of livable clucks from the noninfected Ihens is four times as large as the number of chicks from diseased hens. Cardinal points to observe in either hatching, buying or raising baby chicksCare : 1. Procure eggs or chicks from tested flocks or flocks known to be free from disease. 2. IV) not hatch eggs from tested d and flocks in the same incubator. o. Disinfect incubators, brooders and houses. 4. liaise chicks on ground not used for that purpose the previous year. o. Follow a carefully worked-ou- t system of brooding and feeding and thus njaintain all the natural resistance of the chicks to disease. noa-teste- : Rotation Is Advisable in Producing Tomatoes In the production of tomatoes crop 4 rotation is advisable regardless of soil type or locality. By this means losses caused by insects and diseases are materially reduced. In an ideal rotation tomatoes will not follow tomatoes nor will there be included potatoes, pep pers. or egg plant, because of the danger that the latter crops may transmit diseases affecting the tomato. In tomatoes should be grown In a rotation covering at least four years and including one cultivated crop in addition to the tomatoes and one or more crops. gen-ern- l. soil-buildi- Productivity Greatly Increased by Application. - louse course before wgrru weather.

The best way to inand in - , Under j Ear -- crease the amount of organic matter in the soil is to apply manure or turn under green crops, such as crimson clover, cowpeas. soy beans, red clover, and hairy vetch. On some land the turning under of a good growth of crimson clover has doubled the yield of the succeeding crop. Lime is frequently used to correct acidity, a condition widely found in the eastern part of the United States, and detrimental to the growth of certain crops. Another result accomplished hv liming is an improvement in the physical condition of t he soil. Soils of a compact nature are rendered more permeable. in consequence of which they ecome more retentive of moisture, bss likely to wash, and more friable. Sandy soils also are benefited, being made more retentive of moisture. Application of lime is particularly beneficial in the case of leguminous crops, such as clover and alfalfa. Liming may also increase the availability of other minerals, such as potash, by rendering them more soluble. Detailed information relative to liming soils may be obtained from state agricultural colleges or the I nited States Dyrrtment of Upper and under slit under half crop in left. 1 The tomato fruitworm. also known as the bollworm (not boll weevil) of cotton and the corn earworm, causes heavy losses of early tomatoes in the Southern states by eating into the fruit and destroying its market value, says the United States Department of Agriculture. A large amount of damage can be prevented by either spraying or dusting the tomato fruits with an arsenical. If a spray is desirable, use two pounds of lead arsenate to fifty gallons of water or bordeaux mixture. The dust should be used at the rate of one pound of lead arsenate to five pounds of hydrated lime or one pound of purls green to twenty pounds of hydrated lime. Calcium arsenate can he used at the rate of one pound to five pounds of hydrated lime. The first spraying or dusting should he applied when the earliest tomato fruits are beginning to form or when the first worm damage Is noticed and the arsenical applications should be repeated at weekly intervals for about seven weeks. All sprayed fruit should be thoroughly wiped before It Is or consumed. mar-kete- d right ribs. on HYRUM RASMUSSEN Vernal, Utah ribs. Crop off right, right and underslope in left.
