STCRE IN WELL BUILT HOUSE An Abandoned Tenant Houao Can Very O.ten Be Utillaod For Thie Pu-pose. Improper methods of harvesting and storing sweet potatoes are ro epon.-dbla for largo losses which greatly decrease the value of tar crop, according to A. F. Kidder, pro feasor of agronomy, Louisiana State University. Louisiana's sweet pota to crop for this year i3 estimated to be 5,000,000 bushels, and growers i would do well to take precautions against undue losses through careless , handling. ' Some of the things to be observed ' axe aa follows: i 1. Potatoes should be thoroughly mature before being harvested. 1 I. They should be handled careful If to prevent bruises, as such places Cause rot very quickly. 3. Injured potatoes should not be Stored with sound ones g The potatoes should be sub j degrees Fahrenheit as soon as they Ere put away, and the moisture coû tant reduced to 10 per cent or less. 5. "Potatoes should be stored in a well built house, where the temper ature can be kept uniform. This will »are a large per cent of all good sound potatoes, while the old bank method u»ually cause« a loss of 23 to 50 per cent. Old tenant houses ran often be utilized for that purpose. Jscted to a temperature of 85 to 95 ! ' ' ! ! , ! j ! j DISPOSE OF THE UNPROFITABLE HEN Culling Should Be Done Frequently and Thoroughly. i - After hen» reach a certain age, de pending upon the way they have been handled, they can no longer pro duce eggs profitably. Tho»e which are forced for heavy egg production by the liberal use of stimulants will Teach this stage quicker than the oth ers. Whenever this stage is reached The hens should be marketed as soon as possible. A pretty safe rule to follow with the average flocks which have not boea treated with stimulants Is as follows: Dispose of hens of the light, activé breeds, such aa Leghorns and of . . . . Anconas, as soon as they have passed f through their third laying season; ! and dispose of all the medium weight breeds, such as Plymouth Rocks, , Rhode Island Reds, Wyandottes and Drplgntonaa. soon as they have paw- , ed through two laying seasons. At the same time, discard all younger hens which have baggy abdomens, which have a tendency to stay over lap or which lack health or vigor in any way. The culling should be done fre (uently and thoroughly. It rarerly | pays to hold an old or a weak bird for a better market. The quicker , they are sold the better. The average , fiock should be thoroughly culled at j Jeeat once a month. Such practice pill not materially reduce the output pf the flock, but, on the other hand, will greatly Increase the profits by fcduolng the required amount of hlgh nrlced feed and labor.—A. F.

SEED WILL BE TESTED FREE There le No Necessity For the Louie iana Farmer To Plant Seed of Unknown Value. One of Hie essential feature» ef piofitable crop production is the use 0 : good so«d. The farmer of Louis iana has often suffered inadequate returns and. no doubt. In soin» In stances complete crop failure owing to the use of seed of Inferior grade. Not only t lia t. farm seed often con tain obnoxious weed seed which, if sown, will require time and money to eradicate. These resulting we< d3 may in some cases effect a permanent Injury to the farm. j There is no necessity for the Louis iana farmer to plant seed of unknown value. A seed testing laboratoiy is maintained at tho Experiment Sta tion of the Louisiana State Univer sity for the purpose of furnishing in formation to farmers end seedsmen as the quality of commercial agricul tural seeds. It enables the prospeo tlve buyer to obtain samples of seed from the seedsmen or grower and have them tested before purchasing. ! The seed laboratory Is in chaige of en expert seed analyst and is well ' equipped for rapid and aecuntf» testa as to purity end germination. A pur ity test can be made and the report returned almost Immediately. A ger mination test requires five days or longer, depending upon the kind of ' ?ut seed tested. ! To secure a sample, take throe or four tables pocnfula of clover or ! grass seed or ten or twelve table (spoonfuls of larger seeds The sam ple must represent accurately the , bulk from which it is taken. To ob ! tain a representative sample, handfuls j of seed should be taken at random from the top, middle and bottom of ! the sack and, after thoroughly mixing j these handfuls, take the sample« for testing. Send the samples to the Seed La- boratory, Experiment Station, Louis- i tana State University, Baton Rouce. - No charge Is made for the testa.

LICE ON GREENS Turnips, mustard and radishes i grown in Louisiana during the fall j months are often severely injured by • a small, light green, soft-bodied, I lucking Insect—an aphid, or plant ! louse—-that is found principally on ' the underside of the leaves.

EVERYONE MUST CO-OPERATE j Louisiana le the Only ttals Uetng the Twenty-ens Day Dipping Periode. 0ome of the qweetlone Meet fre quently asked os tick eredtoetion are .answered below by Dr. W. H. Dalryrn pie, of the Department < f Veterinary Science, Louisiana Statf University: Why 1s It necessary to dip cattle every 14 da/e during the season to get rid of the tlcks7 Answer. During the warm season of the year, the average time requir ed by the. tick to develop, from thv small larval, or seed tick, after at tfoiling to cr.ttlo. until the large fe male tick mature* and drops to the ground to lay her egg. Is about U days. But while 22 days may be the average, many ticks mature earlier than that time. Consequently It has been found that the 21-day dipping periods do not catch the earlier-ma turing ticks, which drop off and keep on m u .k'og more ticks, thereby delay ing the final results. On the other hand, by dipping cattle every 14 days, all of tlv- ticks that become atfciched to them In the Intervals are killed, because none of them mature and drop off before 14 dayc. How has this Information bean ob tained? Answer. It has been observed by thoge engaged in the work of tick eradication that, towards tho end of th# season, under tho "1-day method, there are always e nu nber of cattle, or herds, Btill remain!; r Hek-lnfssted. While with 14 day dipping tkere t av be none, or only very fsw, with tloka on them. Then the dipping periods are besed upen the tint# required for the ticks to develop on tho cattle and fall sdf? Answer. Preolaely so. The adop tion of the 14slay periods L to de stroy all of the ticks that have be come attached to the cattle In th# In tervals between dippings, without any ef them having dropped off. Hew long, relatively, will it take te clean s parish, or section, ef ticks we der the 14-day and 21-day dipping pe riods? Answer. With the full co-opera tion of everyone lntereeted, the ticks luay be cleaned up tn one season ue* der the 14-day periods; while under the tl day periods It may take two or three or more seasons, as has been the case in a number ef parishes. Do ticks have any effect en naUk production? 9ry »„ ; catt|e7 ThPy prevent develop n<*nt. because a great deal of the : ^ fepd and t1lat should be user] to nourish the arimnl. ! ; ( production? Answer. Federal experts have test ed this qti*etlon, and they report that cattle which hare been freed o? ticks have given on increased milk pro duction of from 18 to 48 per cent, de pending on how grossly they had pre viously been Infest**!. If we should strike an average of 26 per cent, it would mean that the dairyman who oonttnued to feed ticks on 11a cows was throwing away an equivalent of one bucketful of mi'.k out of every four which his cows would produce under tick-freedom. What effect do t.ie tlcka have. If the development of bs«f ! ' Is appropriated by the ticks, and benefit of the feed is, therefore, lost to the animal.
