Short Wave Radio Owners
Chicago---Owners of short wave
radio sets who have heard amusing
thinge going on in the ether during
the early hours of the morning are to
have much of their enjoyment cur-
tailed as airline officials have instruct-
ed their pilots to confine their broad-
casting to routine matters During the
atill night lonely air mall pilots flying
high above an almost Invisible earth
have no company but the microphones
of their two way radio telephone sets
and they have been wont to drift into
song or carry on conversations with
other pilots dying miles away

Error in Marketing
Brood Sow Too Soon
Point Often Overlooked by
Pork Producers
Cood breeding and good feeding go
band la hand SMne like ail classes
(Jr live stock should be selected on
the basis of their performance from
the standpoint of prolificacy vigor
quality and yield of carcass Prolifi-
cacy and the ability to utilize feed
economically are matters of heredity
Pork producers should ke advantage
of this fact Feeding and carcass
tests will enable the producer more
accurately to select breeding stock
The hog producers ot the country
are suffering a great loss due to the
practice of using brood sows for only
one or two Utters and then market-
ing them Under this system the
number of sows is proportionally
greater than would be the case if the
brood sows were kept their full !ifs
of usefulness which is frequently five
or six years It would be profitable
to the producers to keep the sows
which have proved good mothers just
as long as they continue to farrow
and successfully raise large litters
of desirable type that are economical
feeders Two litters a year not only
reduces the cost of production of friar-
ket hogs but It gives the producer
two chances at the market during the
year Instead of one—Ereeder's Gazette
Operation of Seeding
Without a Nurse Crop
The cultural practices which have
proven most satisfactory In seeding
without a nurse crop are as follows
The land is disked or cultivated aft-
er harvest or early in the spring be-
fore the main grain crop is seeded
This cultivation conserves the mois-
ture In the land and is an Insurance
that all the wild oats and other weed
seeds which fell on the ground will be
germ inat ed and not plowed down as
viable seeds The land is plowed aft-
er spring seeding Is completed at
which time wild oats and other spring
germinated weeds will have made suf-
ficient growth to Insure that they will
be killed by plowing The land Is then
worked down into a fine seed bed and
kept well worked and harrowed until
the latter part of June If sufficient
moisture is available and tillage is giv-
en every ten days a number of suc-
cessive weed crops will be germinated
and destroyed before the grass or dow-
er Is seeded
Phosphate Aids Crops
Phosphate increased beet yields
nearly four tons an acre for Stew
art Thompson Lawrence county
South Dakota Mr Thompson had
his soil analyzed It was rIch In
lime and potash and had sufficient
nitrogen but It was low In phosphate
Ile decided to try superphosphate on
sugar beets On a field of 0$3 acres
12 rows of phospbated beets were al-
ternated with 12 rows that had no
fertilizer Ile got seven tons an
acre froin plots that had no fertilizer
and nearly eleven tons an acre where
he applied phosphate
The contract price of beets was $7
a ton so the phosphate Increased re-
turns nearly $2S an acre
Wheat was put on this field the
following year That on the fertilized
Str!ps matured four to flve flays
earlier and made 3215 bushels an
acre The rest of the field made 22
bushels Last year the fed was In

How Clover "Bonus"

Change of Farm Rotations
Method of Bringing
About Results
W'
Corn and wheat are not the so-called
"highproliti' crops they once were
and consequently this is a good time
to change farm rotations permanently
to take advantage Of the "bonus" of-
fered 13' a cloler crop says L B Mil-
ler assoeitite la soil experiment fields
at the College of Agriculture tniver-
sity of Illinois

Miller fSild
'notation studies over a long period
of years here fit Urbana show an av-
erage yield of 34 bushels of corn an
acre under a corn and oats rotation
and a Eil-busliel corn yield with a ro-
tation of corn oats and red clover On
similar unfertilized hind Two farms
of the sante size operated under these
systems would produce the Mine 1111111
ber of bushels of corn a farm how-
ever the farm growing the corn and
oats rotation would Mae half of Its
land In corn while the farm growing
the corn oats and red clover rotation
would have only one-third of Its land
In corn Similarly the change In ro-
tation Increased the oats yield from
817 bushels to 44 bushels an acre
"Thus the farm growing one-third
of its acreao In clover would pro-
duce as touch corn and almost as
much oats as the other farm and in
addition would have the clover as a
'bonus' to be used for feed and for
soil improvemeint
"Census reports for 1930 show that
In ten typical corn-belt countries of
central Illinois more than 55 per cent
of the crop land was in corn and only
131 per cent In legumes including
tame bay and soy beans Parts of
many farms in northern and central
Illinois will grow red clover without
hinting Most of the brown silt loam
soils require only a little limestone
or phosphate to make them good clov-
er producers"
Light Oat Seed Will
Produce Normal Crop
Despite the fact that Inuch of the
1931 oat crop is of poorer quality than
usual its use for seed will be satis-
factory provided it is properly cleaned
and graded the !Jutted States Depart-
ment of Agriculture says
In many sections of the corn belt
and of the northwestern states much
of the oat crop ripened prematurely
because of drought As a consequence
these oats are of lighter weight per
bushel than usual and may not ap-
roer to be satisfactory for seed pur-
poses However if this seed Is thor-
oughly ftnned and graded It should
produce a satisfactory crop
In the eastern 'corn belt section the
color and weight of much of the cer-
tified seed distributed for sowing this
spring is not as good as that of last
year but this seed will be entirely
satisfactory and will produce a crop
of good quality provided weather con-
ditions are favorable As in the case
of any other seed oats the light chaf-
fy kernels of these standard and Ina-
proved varieties should be removed
by fanning The department advises
fdrmers to treat their seed oats for
smut prevention
Figuring Silage Price
it is impossible to move
sia):e it is frequently necessary for

the silage does not have a regular

has been found that a ton of siltige con-

Season's Breeders
--
Each fall the large number of pullet
eggs that grade out as peewees with a
resulting cut In price are a source of
much annoyance to many flock owners
About the only immediate action a
poultryman can take to try to improve
this condition Is to feed well of a ra-
tion that is designed to maintain flesh
as well as produce eggs
In other words undersized birds are
usually though not always the chief
offenders The feeding of a wet th811
lug mash in addition to the regular
laying ration may therefore be of con-
siderable benefit Such a mash may
be one composed of equal parts of yet-
low cornmeal and ground rolled oats
moistened with milk until It Is crumbly
It should be fed once a day at the
rate of two pounds per 100 birds
However steps can be taken that
will result in more permanent Improve-
ment In the future The pullets that
lay the largest eggs right from the
start should be banded and their nun-
her noted so that a little over a year
from now they can be selected for the
breeding pen This means trapnesting
as this Is the only way In which this
Information can be obtained
If trapnest records as to egg weight
are available on pirds from which the
coining season's breeders are to be
selected the use of such birds that lay
large eggs—say eggs that weigh from
24 to 20 ounces to the dozen—will go a
long way towards eliminating the diffi-
culty in the future with small eggs In a
flock with consequent low prices for
them—Successful Farming
Early Birds Best
From a net profit standpoint it would
seem best to batch chicks this year
early rather than late In the seasom
states Paul G Riley commercial poul-
tryman In most years the price for
broilers is better from the early-
hatched birds than from the later-
batched chicks A difference of two
or three cents In the original cost of
the chick may be made up many times
In the better price to be had from the
finished birds The pullets from early-
hatched chicks ore the ones that pro-
duce eggs when eggs are high In price
Poultry profits for the good poultry-
man are always good In the la3t four
months of the year because they have
layers at work helping cash In on the
good egg prices---Prairie Partner

Good Flock Management
Brings Poultry Profits
The Ilse of drugs In poultry flocks
Is limited The drugs that are used
nre confined to the control of round
worms Most diseases have to be con-
trolled by other means advises Dr E
L Brunett of the New York state
college of veterinary medicine
When there are more deaths In the 9
poultry flock than there should be
poultrymen are advised to consult the
local veterinarian or the state poultry-disease
laboratory After the cause
has been determined drugs can he
used with more confidence until then
they are too much of a gamble En-
tit the chicken raiser finds that drugs
are valuable agents It is best to con-
centrate upon preventive measures
and good flock management with ap-
proved feeding practices
Increased Production
Increasing the number of high-producing
hens as well as increasing the
egg production per bird has been no-
compllehed in an eight-year breeding
for production trial at the poultry
Plant at North Dakota agricultural
college
For the year 10231921 seven pul-
lets completed the season with an
average production of 111 eggs For
the year 1930-1931 nil pullets completed
the period with an average producthin
of 220 eggs This Is an increase of
082 per cent over the record of 1923--
1924 and with nearly eight times as
Ill any hirdS The trial was conducted'
with Rhode Island Iteds—Dakot a

Poultry Hints
It Is just as Important that hens be
given sufficient water as It is to feed
them properly An egg Is two-think
water and It must come from some
place
The fanner who maintained his
flock last year found his poultry a
rood source of ready cash Income and
a profitable crop when other prices
and costs of raising poultry were con
sidered
S
It is difficult to keep a brooder house
dry wbon it is crowded Moist litter
helps Spread disease
e
It takes approximately one-third a tlf
much feed to raise a pullet to laying
lige AS that bIrd will consume during
her first year
