With Fool Proof Boiler EPT secret and special and persona! for you Is VRIGLEYS Ed J. Bern, irk Is Well Pleased With a Six-acre Field of Wheat J. Bernwick has obtained results from a six-acre field of wheat that has even surpassed his expectations. This rix-acre field was about October 5th and grew very well from the start. On January 1st he turned on to it ten head of stock which were pastured on the wheat until March 20th.

The cows that were pastured on this wheat had been receiving a small grain ration, but when they were turned on to the pasture the grain ration was reduced to one-half. But in spit of the reduction of the grain ration the cows about doubled in the amount of milk given. And the butter made from this milk had a fine rich golden yellow color. The flavor could not be surpassed. The calves running on this pasture made excellent gains.

Mr. Bernwick conservatively estimates the value of the pasture from January 1st to March 20th at $25. He is very enthusiastic over the crop, and if he can make his plans work out right he will plant more next year. The variety grown is Early Bart. The amount planted to the acre was 75 pounds.

Be SURE to get VRIGLEY5 Sealed Tight Kept Right The Flavor Lasts this month as to temperature in brooders is more apt to happen than last month, as often the days are warm and the operator foolishly takes a chance.

Dont take any chances. Be sure that the brooders are thoroughly watched as to temperature; it will prevent crowding and much loss. We wish once more to call the attention of those who write and speak of the poultry industry as a game. Dont do it. In no wise can it be called a game any more than hundreds of other businesses.

Let everybody help to overcome this error and lift poultry raising to a higher plane. Head lice on chicks is one of the drawbacks from now on. No let-up in fighting these pests should be allowed. There are many remedies on the market, but we find that a little lard about the of a pea rubbed thoroughly on the back of the head and neck is sufficient to rid the chick of fthese pests. This should be done after dark on a dry, warm night.

Previous to this the coop, hen or brooder should be thoroughly attended to. For your early laying pullets next fall dont take any chances. Always remember that the future to a large extent is the direct outcome of yesterday and today. One often hears the term, good luck or bad luck, in connection with hatchings or broodings, when, as a matter of fact, luck, good or bad, would be more properly termed good or bad management. If one is unlucky enough to forget to fill the lamp or close the door against cats or rats one may be unlucky enough to meet with losses.

Unfortunately, luck does play a part once in a while, both for good or bad. Careful, conscientious work is the real factor for success in most every case, however. The first requirement of young chicks is warmth, a temperature comfortable for them. Chicks hatch in a temperature of 102 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit. When brooded by hens they remain under the mothers nearly all the time for two or three days.

Chicks shipped in small boxes are kept warm by the heat of their bodies, so long as the boxes are not exposed to near-freezing temperatures, but this natural heat is not sufficient when they are given more lib erty. Young chicks should not be fed for from 24 to 36 hours after hatching, and will not suffer if given no feed until the -third day. The yolk of the egg, which is absorbed by the chick, furnishes all the nourishment required during this time. It is this provision of nature for the first sustenance of the chick that makes it possible to ship newly hatched chicks considerable distances. At the start it is advisable to feed five times a day, dividing the day into equal periods, and alternating a mash or soft feed, such as johnnycake, wjth a hard grain or scratch feed.

Unless the premises where chicks are kept and all appliances used are known to be absolutely free from lice and mites, and it is certain that chicks have never been exposed to them, it is a wise precaution to paint or spray the brooder with a mixture of four parts crude petroleum and one part kerosene, allowing it to dry thoroughly before using. Puffs of insect powder on the chicks when in the brooder, about once a week, will destroy any lice that may be on them. So many people write letters and fill out request cards for literature or information without giving their address, some not' even signing their own name, that I am requested to ask that all should be very particular in this matter. Give your name and address. In some sections of the country culling the youngsters can begin very shortly now.

It is as essential that this be done as culling the flock next summer. All chicks when broiler size that do not come up to the standard in vigor should be disposed of or eaten. They never have paid and never will. All cripples should be killed Immediately on being removed from nest or incubator. Do not allow sentiment or tender-heartedness to overrule good business ability or common sense.

Weaklings and runts will not pay any dividends. Do not invest too much time or feed on such. Reports show that back yard poultry keeping, which was taken up by many on patriotic motives, resulted in a very large majority of these people becoming so interested in the work that they are going to keep on as they find it interesting and instructive, and profitable from both a physical and a financial point of view. We thefefore urge all who can and so far have not adopted a back yard flock to do so. Please remember that 10 to 50 dozen eggs put down in water glass will come in mighty handy next fall and winter.

Ask the woman who knows. Vw "mm tiini A Free Seed Laboratory We wish to call the attention of our farmers to the establishment of a seed laboratory at College Station, Texas. It is the purpose of this laboratory to make purity and germination tests of agricultural planting seed for parties who forward samples to the laboratory from the states of Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, Texas and New Mexico. It is hoped that the farmers may avpil themselves of the service rendered here free of charge. You may take the matter up direct with the College Station, or through your county agent, who has been asked to co-operate and assist the farmers in any way possible to make use of this laboratory.

Samples submitted should be a fair average representative of the bulk or A good representative sample may be secured bv taking seed from different parts of the bulk and mixing thoroughly before drawing the sample to be sent. One pint of seed will be sufficient in all cases; for grasses and smaller seed, one-half pint will be sufficient. Label the sample, giving the napie and address of sender, the name of the seed, whether purity or germination test is desired, or both, and in case more than one sample is sent some distinguishing mark designating them. Mail samples in bags or other mail containers that will not break and spill the seed. Address all samples to Seed Laboratory, College Station, Texas.

Any samples you send will have immediate attention.

Pine St liU Potato Growers Peter Jensen of San Simon, Arizona, a place directly west from Dem-ing and about six miles over the New Mexico-Arizona line, has brought to the county agents office a sample of Netted Jem or Idaho Russet seed potatoes. Mr. Jensen grew about 20 carloads of these potatoes last year at an altitude of 3700 feet. He claims that his seed is acclimated to this region and thinks that they will do well under Luna county conditions where sandy soil may be had. In growing potatoes, Mr.

Jensen practices the following cultural methods: First, wet the ground thoroughly and as soon as the ground can be worked plant the potatoes and drag the ground flat and smooth with a plank drag. Then every ten days harrow with a spike tooth harrow until the potatoes are about six inches high. After the potatoes begin setting more water may be applied, and from that time they should be kept moist and the ground loose. Ordinarily, Mr. Jensen says, potatoes do not need more than three irrigations, but last year, owing to the great drouth, he irrigated five times.

The potato mentioned above is a late pc4ato and does best if it is planted from May 20th to June 15th. Any who are interested in this potato may see the sample at the county agents office. The price is very reasonable in 10-sack lots. Poultry HiHts for April, 1919 1 With the coming of April, local leaders, community committeemen and others who talk on poultry should be careful now as to the proper advice. Early hatchings should be dropped as a leading essential, though in many places hatching should be still carried on.

Each must govern himself regarding this according to 1 location. I Now that hatching is over in many sections, and will be over very shortly everywhere, the real important factor is feeding and care of the youngsters. The department of agriculture at Washington issues a circular on i First Care of Baby Chicks, G-30, i which is very helpful. We would sug-i gest that everyone get a copy either through Washington or the state college. So many people become interested in poultry each year that it is necessary that we repeat ourselves very often in giving advice.

April is one of the best months to grow chickens in a major portion of the United States, and whenever possible the chicks should have plenty of liberty to run around.

ill Will Fight Against Water Diversion Roswell, N. M. Diversion of water out of the Hondo drainage basin in southeastern New Mexico will be made an issue by the people who depend upon irrigation water. This was decided at a mass meeting of the people of Lincoln and Chaves counties held in Roswell, and the Home Protective league of Ruidoso, Hondo and Pecos Valley was formed. E.

A. Ca-hoon is the president, John W. Poe is vice president. Each meipber is signing the following pledge: I hereby agree to enter into covenant with other residents of the Pecos Slope to resist by every legitimate means any further diversion of water out of the Hondo drainage system. To this end I pledge myself for a period of four years to support no candidate for the state legislature, for governor or for congress who will not pledge himself to oppose any such diversion.

It is estimated, that 3000 voters will sign that pledge. Business men as well as stockmen and farmers are signing this pledge. It is the result of the fight of the Rook Island railway to obtain the north fork of the Ruidoso for their pipe line already taking two streams from the basin. During the war they obtained a permit from the government urging it as a war necessity. After the armistice was signed, the people sent S.

M. Johnson to Washington, proved that the emergency had passed and that the farms producing $15,000,000 worth of agricultural products yearly w'ould suffer permanent injury. The permit was revoked. The fight was then carried to the New Mexico legislature. The water users attempted to get a bill through preventing the diversion of any stream which had a bearing on an artesian area.

The rail road put up a strong fight, and it was as the result of this that the new league was formed. The people are determined to fight to the last ditch to save the water on which property values in the entire basin depend. Prices of paper stocks cohtinue to advance.
