This same thing occurs in the case of those who have Tose cold because the trees and grasses to whose pollens they are sensitive bloom earlier in the South than in the North. Indoor Plants. It is also not widely known that some of the plants frequently grown indoors in the cold months may cause the allergic reaction found in those who have hay fever or rose cold. Such plants sometimes cause another type of allergic reaction, hives, with its red wheals and intense itching.The primrose is a plant to which many are sensitive. It is possible to successfully immunize many of the sufferers from these distressing diseases by injecting under their skins gradually increasing doses of the pollen or pollens to which they are sensitive. To obtain the best results, this treatment must be carried on over a long period so that, when the plants to which they are sensitive, pollenate, the patients will be able to tolerate large doses of the pollens under the skin. Before the treatment starts, the patients must be tested to determine the pollens to which they are sensitive. Then these pollens must be mixed in proper proportions to fit each individual's particular sensitivities. It is now almost too late for the sufferers from rose cold to be greatly benefited in 1942.

By PARKER ANDERSON . (Extension Forester, VummU ^ 1 ' University Farm.) *" The farm woodlot needs "culliftg" at this. time of the year just as much as does the flock of laying hens. If the woodlot is to produce well in the future, loafer and robber trees should get the axe. Trees culled out this winter will more than pay for the trouble and labor in fuel, fence posts and lumber logs. Woodlots will gain from this practice, he says, because the remaining trees can grow faster and straighter. It is & good idea to have an eye out for trees that will give cash returns in the future. Productive trees should have the best in soil fertility, water and sunlight. Large trees that "overtop" and steal sunlight from promising young growth are among those recommended by Anderson for culling. To avoid too extensive cutting here are some suggestions: Leave enough trees to cover the forest floor, but thin out dense thickets of young trees so the straightest and healthiest ones will have growing room. Keep your eyes on the tops--tree tops should be fairly close but with some room for growth. Raise More Food, Farm Youth Urged Farm boy& and girls are being encouraged to increase supplies of foods needed by this country through projects on pigs, calves, and chickens, according to word received from the U. S. department of agriculture. Both the Farm Credit and Farm Security administrations are prepared to make loans to members of 4-H clubs and other rural youth groups--as well as to unaffiliated youngsters with responsible sponsors-- to make more such work possible than in the past. FSA will make loans to children of its borrowers where funds are otherwise unavailable, and FCA will make loans through local production credit associations. The State Extension services in co-operation with state agricultural colleges, will help to launch many of the projects, it is announced. Many 4-H clubs and other rural youth groups have raised various foods as part of their work in the past. Last year, for instance, 4-H members grew 237,000 home gardens, 177-,000 raised poultry, 150,000 raised pigs, and 74,000 had dairy cattle. The aim now is to increase the number of farm boys and girls growing foods deemed most vital to America. Their contributions of milk, eggs, pork, and vegetables will not only add to needed supplies in the country but will make possible in many instances an improved diet for themselves and families, it is pointed out.

According to George P. McCarthy, poultry husbandman of Texas A. and M. college, a grower may actually gas his turkey poults or baby chicks With a sooty brooder stove and bad ventilation. Deaths from this cause might be attributed to other reasons. Investigators bj the Denver branch of the pathological laboratory of the U.S.D.A. into the high percentage of loss among baby turkeys delivered in good condition from hatcheries to poultry men showed no external symptoms of carbon monokide poisoning, even when it was suspected. Chemical tests, however, were conclusive and physical examinations confirmed the positive cases by revealing the abnormally pink lungs which result from this type of poisoning. McCarthy recommends that turkey growers provide food ventilation in tiieir brooder houses without exposing the young birds tu J.i. Uui&ter^d of drafts. Before plying baby chicks in brooder houses it is important to clean coal, wood and oil burning brooder stoves in order to remove all soot which might clog the burners and help form the dangerous gas. Farm Machinery Despite actual or threatened shortagee of raw materials, last year was a year of record output of farm equipnvlnt, says the department of commerce. The monthly output of farm equipment continued ateadily at the rate of $65,000,000 from April through September. Sales of farm equipment show an increase of -S5 per cent over a year ago, accounted for entirely in the domestic market, since exports of farm equipt ment were the aame.
