> $ r*r rv r*K*\ Feeding Shrubs After Flowering Helps Growth Feeding shrubs immediately following their flowering period is becoming a common practice, according to Associate County Agent Harry S. Sloate. For small shrubs a half a handful of a com plete fertilizer such as 5-10-5 or 5-10-10 or a similar analysis can be placed on the surface of the soil and lightly raked in. Be sure to water copiously aft er the plant food has been appli ed. Larger plants can be given larger proportions of plant feed. Once the plant is firmly and fully established and in a good grow ing condition, it may not need fertilizer. 49 Cents Per Shot Each 24cc syrinee Each 6cc shot contains contains PROCAINE PENICILLIN 2,000,000 units DIHYDROSTREPTOMY CIN 1.000 me.

Since all mosquitoes, must have water in which to breed, Associate County Agent Harry S. Sloate says itis logical toprevent stand ing water as one of the best meth ods of controlling these insects.. Water that is allowed to stand ten to twelve days during the summer may afford an excellent breeding place for mosquitoes. Open dis carded tin cans at both ends and destroy glass containers to pre vent water standing in them. Do not allow old tires, troughs, bar rels; buckets and similar contain ers to hold standing water. Drain water holes and depressions, and either fill or treat them to pre vent mosquitoes from breeding. A light film of oil placed on water will kill most kinds of mosquitoes wrigglers. Repeat treatments dur ing the summer at about seven to ten days intervals 500,000 unit' it Poultry ‘Golden Plow’ Is Emblem Of Supremacy PEEBLES, Ohio National plowing champions from some 15 countries will compete for the coveted “Golden Plow” trophy at the 1957 World’s Conservation. Exposition and sth Annual World’s Plowing Contests at Pee bles, Ohio, September 17, 18, 19 and 20. The “Golden Plow” tro phy is the emblem of world su premacy in the art and craft of plowmanship. When the World Plowing Or ganization was formed in 1953, serious consideration was given to the exact nature of the trophy which would symbolize the basic plow. In order to observe strict impartiality toward the'farm ma chinery industry throughout the world, the 18th Century Norfolk Plow a walking plow mounted on two wheels was chosen as the model for the golden minia ture replica mounted on the tro phy. The Norfolk plow was pattern ed from the light weight plow de veloped by the Dutch early in the 17th Century with which two horses and one man could plow an acre a day. Earlier English plows were clumsy tools pulled by ten or twelve oxen Three men werei needed one to lead, one to goad the beasts and one to strug gle with the plow handles. The distance from the head ox to the plow was 45 feet In order to plow close to hedgerows, it was neces sary to form “S” shaped furrows. The “Golden Plow” trophy is the highest award presented throughout the world in recogni tion of good workmanship with the plow. The trophy is 24 inches long and remains in the posses sion of the World Champion Plow man for a year Each winner re ceives a miniature replica to keep permanently as a memento of his achievement. The inscription of the “Golden Plow” trophy reads “Pax Arva Colat”, means, “Let Peace Culti vate the Fields.” Mechanization Cuts lowa Pheasant Numbers A recent report from lowa State College says that increased farm mechanization is reducing the pheasant population in that state. A study there on a 1,500 acre area shows that mechanization has reduced the nesting success of pheasants in hayfields from 20 per cent to seven per cent. It also revealeu that fall pheasant numbers dropped from about 210 Birds per section of land in 1940 to only-100 in 1954.
