WEDNESDAY. APRIL 10, 1939 Disease Control Is Needed for Rabbits Success Depends on Ability to Kill Parasites. (Prepared by the United States Department ot Agriculture.) Success in raising rabbits depends to u great extent on the ability to keep tlie animals free from parasites and bacterial diseases. A knowledge of the more serious ailments is ad vantageous says the United States Department of Agriculture, and may be had from a study of Fanners’ Bul letin No. 1565-F, •’Babbit Parasites and Diseases,” anew publication now ready for distribution to persons re questing it. Among the parasitic diseases giv en special attention in the bulletin are coccidiosis, ear mange or ear can ker, skin mange, and stomach worm diseases. These diseases cause weak ness, emaciation, wasting and death. Other parasitic affections, such as ir “They Stopped My Dandruff” t *T'VANDRUFF really had me worried.

Prevention and control measures are more practical than treatment, and ure usually matters of sanita tion. In the case of parasitic dis eases such measures must he based on a knowledge of the habits and life histories of the parasites involved and on their mode of transmission front one animal to another. The bul letin also discusses bacterial and oth er diseases, such as snuffles and pneu monia.

Growing of Asparagus Not Difficult Task The growing of asparagus is not difficult. Its chief requirement is plant food with water. Make a bed of any required size, forking in well rotted manure to make a deep, rich soil. Set one or two year-old roots IS inches apart in the row, with rows 2% feet apart, 100 roots for n bed 20 by 20 feet, in size. Set rows well down and fill in later, giving opportunity lightly to till the surface without disturbing crowns. Some prefer to sow seed, thinning out later, but the common method of establishing an asparagus bed is by the use of roots, one year old. The secret of a good asparagus bed, long exposed, is a soil kept rich and not to prolonged cutting in the summer. It Is so easily raised that few seem to think it worth while. Quick growing, large tips will not be cut from a starved bed, however. Sweet clover will grow almost any where if the annual rainfall is more than 17 inches and there is enough lime in the soil. But in spite of the fact that sweet clover is a hardy plant, it is not always easy to get a stand. ■ Three things especially im portant in getting a stand are lime, inoculation and a firm seed bed. It may not always be necessary to neu tralize an acid soil, but sweet clover commonly must have lime if it is to do well. Inoculation of the seed or soil is advisable where the crop is to be grown on land that has grown neither alfalfa nor sweet clover be fore. A firm seed bed is necessary. Man*' failures have been shown to be due to lack of rolling or compact ing the soil after plowing. THE ROCKDALE RElukli, luNYERS, GEORGIA Quality Is First in Home Gardens Good Seed Is Prime Requi site for Best Crop of Vegetables. Quality comes first, says Paul Work of the New York state college of agriculture at Ithaca, N. A’., speak ing of varieties of vegetables for home use and for the home garden. Good seed is a prime requisite, and to be sure of satisfaction, it usually is best to deal with n seed house that caters to commercial growers. Corn Is Mainstay. Sweet corn is the mainstay of many home gardens and often is the 'main reason for their existence, for it pays the highest dividends. Sweet corn loses 50 per cent of its sugar and hence its flavor and tenderness in 24 hours after it is picked. This is a mighty good reason for having it close at hand. Among the best va rieties are Early White Cob Corey, Golden Bantam, Early Sunshine, Golden Giant, Country Gentleman, Evergreen* and Whipple’s Yellow. For the same reasons, peas come next to corn in importance. Thomas Laxton and Gradus are the best vari eties for quality, Alaska is the earli est. The dwarf kinds such as Ameri can Wonder, Knos Excelsior, Little Marvel, and Laxtonian give more peas to the pod, and are more ten der. Telephone, Stratagem and Al derman are late, big-bodied pens. Among the beans, Stringless Green Pod which is round, early and ten der and Bountiful are to be recom mended. Most good beans have curved pods. Lima Beans Desirable. Lima beans are very desirable for the home garden, but their long grow ing season and the unfavorable ef fects of cold wet ground and bad weather make them difficult in New York state to raise. The better ones for central New York are the Burpee bush, the Fordhook bush, and the Henderson bush. Of the pole beans, Scotia, Kentucky, Wonder, Leviathan, Challenger and Green Shell are good. Canary Grass Valuable for Protein Content The following is taken from a write up of the work being done at the Waseca substation in Minnesota. It appeared in the Milking Shorthorn Journal: “Another interesting experiment is with fellaris grass, or canary grass. This grows in sloughs and wet places, yielding 10 tons to the acre of grass that has as high protein content. as alfalfa. It roots like quack grass, growing from the shoots as w-ll as from seed. If the experiment shows that the grass has everything claimed for it by farmers in the county that have grown it, there seems a consid erable future for canary grass. The prospect of a Minnesota farmer get ting his wet land caught with grass yielding ten tons to the acre of grass as nourishing as alfalfa, is even worse than getting his good land seeded with alfalfa, this is always having to be cut when he has other farm work to do.” Ohio Farmers Walk Many Miles in Doing Chores The Ohio farmers walk an average of 99 miles a month in doing their chores according to tests made by the rural economics department at Ohio State university. To make this test pedometers were worn by the farmers while doing chores. Of two farmers with exactly the same number ol horses and cows and approximately the same number of pigs, one farmer walked 135 miles a month and the other farmer 49 miles. The difference was caused by the relative conveni ence of the farmstead and facilities for watering and feeding the stock, The water pail proved to be excellent equipment for inducing the farmers to walk great distances.
