Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH, UTAH ' Increase Moisture by Summer Fallow V M Winter Wheat Is an Ideal ; Crop to Follow With; MM J (By A. i ? , I cialist, , Clapp, Extension Crops Spe- Kansas State , College.) Agricultural v Summer fallow In whriat production acts as a moisture storing measure for the following wheat crop. Winter wheat is an ideal crop to ' follow fallow, for fallowing the ground stores the moisture deeply In the soil, and the winter wheat roots have the ability to feed at least six feet deep, which is almost the possible depth of moisture storage with one year of fallow. Summer fallow not; only stores moisture but gives an opportunity for the wheat- farmer to turn under the accumulation of straw and thoroughly decay it before the next crop is planted ; an essential practice for malntaiuing soil humus and fertility. A year of fallow will give time for some insoluble plant foods to change their form, become soluble and available to the plant This is probably the principal reason for the holdover effect of fallow that is indicated so clearly in experimental work at At the Hays experiment station. this station wheat on early fall listing the third year after fallow has averaged 23.9 bushels, which is 3.7 bushels more than early fall listing with ' continuous wheat. the, good eyesight which is essential when a fast ball is coming toward the man at the bat It is not only the sturdy arms of Helen Wills, but it is also her steady eye that make her queen of the tennis court Bill Tllden,. Jack Dempsey, Bobby Jones and the other topnotch-erin the field of sport owe their reputations and success largely to the fact that they are blessed with healthy eyes as well gq strong bodies. Good eyesight is also important to the thousands of sport fans who go to watch their favorites perform. . One cannot truly eqjoy any athletic game, whether in playing or watching, unless one has clear vision. ; Without such good eyesight that a strategic situation may be seen accu rately and understood at a moments glance, one cannot acquire skill in any sport Most professional athletes realize this, and therefore, take every precaution to keep their eyes In good condition. Sometimes it is necessary for the athlete to wear glasses, but this does not mean that his days of usefulness on the field are past. It is interesting to note that a few of the best known ball players in the major leagues find it necessary to wear glasses. Lee Meadows, an out-- . Standing pitcher in the National league for several years, wore glasses in the pitchers box. Another pitcher who wears them is Vic Sorrell of the Detroit Tigers, who is one of this years sensations. Others are Toporcher and MacFayden. Glasses are worn on the baseball field also by Chick Hafey, outfielder of the SL Louis Cardinals, and by Mark Koenig, shortstop of the Detroit team in the American league, who is rather well known in New York city where he was shortstop for the Yankees for several years. Hafey and Koenig are the first fielders in baseball to wear glasses while playing. Glasses are worn in other sports also. In tennis,' for Instance, Watson Washburn, who was for several years a member of the United States Davis cup team, has worn glasses on the tennis court for a long time. And in golf, Willie McFarlane, former national open champion and now a professional in Westchester county. New York, usually wears glasses while : playing. In colleges and high school throughout the Uhited States, athletic directors are specially careful about the eyesight of members of the various school teams. Incidentally, boys and girls of high school age seem to be most susceptible to accidents that involve eye injuries. Perhaps this is so because they are very active at that age. The National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, in a survey of eye accidents, found a strange variety of hazards in athletics, in the home, and especially In Industry. .There was a record of a painful injury when, in wrestling, bne boys finger found its way Into one of his opponents eyes. Also, there was the incident of one basketball player who apparently confused the eyes of another player with the basket at which he was supposed to be aiming. One university student was so Confident of his own abilities that he took off his mask while fencing and had one eye put out by his opponent's foil. In many sports there are chances of injuring the eyes with a ball golf ball, tennis ball, baseball, handball, basketball, football and others.' But in golf, aside from the danger of being struck by the ball inquisitive persons occasionally suffer eye injuries ih cutting open discarded golf balls. The knife may' slip and strike the eyfe! or the rubber may cause the ball to rebound and hit the eye. In any event, this curiosity as to the contents of ar golf ball has a certain element, of danger. s - - , Anemia Among Suckling Pigs Can Be Prevented CAREFULLY CLEAN ...DAIRY UTENSILS c A , Vital in Production of, All Sanitary Milk. The careful cleaning of utensils Is vital. In the production of sanitary milk. Vessels should first be rinsed with lukewarm water or ordinary well or cistern water to remove the milk, then washed with moderately hot water, containing a small quantity of an alkali cleaning solution, after which they should be scalded In hot water and Inverted to dry. They should not' be dried by wiping with a cloth since that will cause contamination. Wiping is riot necessary when scalding water is used, as the heated vessels will dry of their own accord. While many dairymen depend upon the kitchen stove lor heating water, a more dependable plan is to have a e coal oil or gasoline stove or on which fits a copper stove laundry or tin boiler. Ample water can thus be quickly and economically heated. For larger dairies a small vertical steam boiler may be used. Such a boiler has the advantage of providing live steam by which the utensils may be more quickly and effectively sterilized. Milking should be done with dry hands. A pail of clean water and a " clean towel should be placed convenient to the milkers and they should wash and wipe their hands frer quently. Bacteria are minute, plants, so small as to be visible only under a powerful microscope. Twenty-fbacive thousand averaged-sizeteria placed end to end, would measure only an inch in length. A singl drop of sour milk contains as many as forty millions of them. Under favorable conditions, one of these germs divides into two every half hour. Milk is an Ideal medium for their growth. The bacteria commonly found In milk grow best at temperatures between 80 and 98 degrees Fahrenheit two-hol- Last year the Wisconsin experiment station told us that lack of iron and copper in the sows milk caused anemia in suckling pigs, and that feeding these two minerals In suitable compounds to the pigs would prevent the disease. In the preliminary Investigations iron and copper were fed once daily, says the Prairie Farmer. We are now told that feeding a pig 150 milligrams of iron (ferric sulphate) and 25 milligrams of copper (copper sulphate) once a week will prevent the disease. Druggists can make these solutions and tell you how much to feed to give each pig the above quantities of the required minerals. At the Illinois station it has been found that applying a solution containing iron and copper to the teats of Buttermilk Excellent the sow once or twice daily will preFeed for Dairy Calves vent the disease.
