They also sell "press brush," or tip ends of spruce and balsam which are clipped off and baled for manufacturers of Christmas greens and decorations. Some men have sold fern-picking rights on their land, the buyers using them as decorations. There is always a market tor tree seeds. Acorns,, walnuts, butternuts, black walnuts, and cones from spruce, pine, or balsam may be gathered and sold in the fall. Bean poles and pea brush are always in demand, and poles and stakes for proping up heavy branches of apple trees often find a sale. Much of this material can be gathered, while making thinnings in the woodlot. Fence posts and rails are always useful on the farm, and taking them from the woodlot means quite a savjing over a period of time. Novelties made from gray or white birch, twig baskets filled with white pine sprays and cones, red berries, and dried grasses also add to the income. Decorative buttons made from walnuts or butternuts can generally be sold to novelty shops. Maple syrup and sap need only be mentioned. Everyone knows the value of a good sugar bush. Cattle bedding made from trash wood by cones treated chemically to produce colored flames in the ^replace, and white birch for fancy fireplace wood are some of the other forest byproducts. A little scouting around for a market will often lead to new uses for old forest products, and every new outlet means more money fr6m the farm woodlot. Spruce and Fir Among * ~ Best Windbreak Trees Norway spruce and Douglas fir are the most satisfactory trees to use as windbreak plantings, according to J. E. Davis, extension forester, College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. A good windbreak is easy to have, its success depending upon location, soil preparation, choice of trees, spacing, protection and care. A windbreak will be effective on the leeward for a distance eight times its height. Since the trees average 40 feet in height, it is best not to have the buildings nearer than 50 feet nor farther than 320 feet from the trees. If closer than 50 feet, snow drifts may form on buildings, and dead-air pockets may cause excessive heat in summer. . The windbreak affords best protection if built in the form of an Inverted "L" on the west and north of the farmstead. Plowed preferably in the fall, the land may be fitted in the spring. At least 4-year old transplanted trees are recommended and even larger trees will assure more success. Silage for Young Cattle Silage in large amounts can be used to feed thin common-to-medium yearlings or older cattle which are to be marketed this spring, according to E. T: Robbins, live stock extension specialist, College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. Silage with or without dry roughage is combined with three or four pounds of cottonseed meal or soybean oil meal for each head each •ay by some experienced finishers of butcher cattle. Corn is added during about the last two months, and the cattle are sold when about two-thirds fat. , Agricultural Notes Records show that the corn borer eft moving farther southward. • • • i California's 1936 potato crop*esr eeeded last year's by 500,000 bushels. * • • Once a part of a huge swamp region, Putnam county, Ohio, is now 'an important agricultural area. • • * More than '900 varieties of cabbage are now grown in the United States. e • • The proportion of grain-fed catUe in the 1937 slaughter supply probably will be smaller than for 1936. ~ 0 0 0 One broken tile may ma^e a whole line of drainage worthless. • • • Former 4-H club members comprise 34 per cent of home economics students and 39 per cent of all agricultural students in courses at Ohio State university. • • • Too many high producing cows have "off years"; it pays in added amounts of milk and fat produced ^during a lifetime if special elfort is made to have such cows dry at least eight weeks before calving.

Hearings have started before Subcommittee Number 2 of the House Judiciary Committee on a bill \fMth'lKas been introduced to establish a public defender for indigent persons accused of crime in the District of Columbia Courts. The Supplied by the New York State CoBtn mi" Agriculture.--WNU Service. ' . Do newly-laid eggs from the same hen or from different hens vary in and does this quality vary yoar? Thes$ under too University of tt The University of the South, Se- Wanee, Tenn., was established at 4 tnaeting of educators atop Locdfe tut mountain on July 4, 1875. \ p8&ltfy _ solve the past year. During a ten-day period in the middle of each month, for one year, all of the eggs from a flock of 70 single-comb white Leghorns were examined and the egg qualities recorded. The measures of quality used were firm albumen, the proportion of outer thin albumen and the yolk as to height, width, and color. No seasonal change in yolk color was apparent; but the yolk color may be affected by feed. The individual records of the eggs of representative birds showed that after April there is a lowering of yolk quality in eggs from both pullets and hens. Also there was a marked increase in the amount of outer thin, water-white, albumen which continued until July when it began to decrease. This character varied less than the others. The change in the firm albumen was similar to the changes in outer thin albumen and yolk. The scientists say that eggs show a decided change in quality beginning in March or April, and this change toward lower quality continues into the summer. The poultrymen say these results agree with common knowledge, especially of cold storage dealers, who pay a premium for spring eggs, or "April eggs," as they are known to stand up better in storage.. and daughter, Louise, of Davis Lake|measure would authorize an approwere callers at McHenry last Wednes-!pnatlon «f '20'0P0 a ye*r for such an day. j agency, the public defender receiving Mr. and Mrs. George Cook of Chi-|a salary of 'J-500 «nd an assistant cago spent Sunday at the home of | recm'mg' » salary of $4,000.

It is expected that considerable opposition will be found ori the part of representatives of southern states as these states in particular are very desirous of retaining the privileges of longer working week and lower hourly wage. Small Laying Flocks May Be Fed by Hopper Farm flock owners who find it inconvenient to feed laying h e n s at regular hours each day should find the results of an experiment on hopper feeding conducted by the Michigan State college of interest and value, says J. C. Taylor, associate extension poultryman at the New Jersey college of agriculture, Rutgers university. Two pens of Leghorns and two pens of Rhode Island Reds were fed corn and oats and a laying mash containing 20 per cent crude protein in hoppers during the experiment, Taylor reports. The feed was available to the birds at all times. In addition, approximately two pounds of wheat were fed daily in the litter to keep the litter from j>acking. Satisfactory egg production was obtained by the hopper feeding of corn and oats and 20 per cent protein mash and no difference in mortality was found when compared with flocks fed according to the usual method. ; The use of artificial lights increases the success of the hopper feeding. This method may solve the feeding problems of the general farmer who cannot practice the recommended regularity of feeding laying birds. * < Balanced Egg Mash Ration Soybean oil meal, costing approx+ imately one-third less than meat scrap, may successfully replace part of the meat scrap in a balanced egg mash ration, says H. H. Alp, extension poultryman, college of agriculture, University of Illinois. A possible protein combination to be used with 400 pounds o( mash might be made up of meat scrap 50 pounds, soybean oil meal 50 pounds, steamed bone meal 10^ pounds, ground limestone 5 pounds, -and salt 5 pounds. For Poultrymen Scales on the legs of poultry are caused by a mite which burrows under tha scales and eats: into tit# flesh. ' *" • - • • Buffing the dirt off slightly-soiled eggs leaves them in much better condition than washing. • • • Fowl-pox has been reported from nearly all the countries. The disease not only attacks chickens but may also attack pigeons, turkeys, geese, and quail. • • • An egg is a highly perishable product and should be handled accordingly -- it must be protected; from high temperatures if the quality is to be maintained* • • • Oftentimes birds once vaccinate remain permanently immune. Sometimes they do not. No general rule can be formulated. • • • • A temperature of 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit is best for hens in batteries.
