Campbell was buying pota- toes for shipment. This was an error, FARM NOTES. —PFarmers who adopt rotation sys- tem, are the ones who are meeting with the greatest success. —In ordering seeds, whether field or garden, be sure the seed is true to name. Also demand the germinating: percentage of the seed before you buy. Reliable dealers give this information. —If you have a hotbed a number of perennial flowers can be started now so that they will bloom next season. Some of those that can be seeded now are columbine, Shasta daisy, larkspur and single hollyhocks. —Are the brood sows getting plen- ty of exercise and not too much fat- tening feed? Remember that little Save ali of yours by careful attention. before and at farrowing time. -—Take care of your leather equip- ment at all times, but especially dur- ing the wet weather of spring months. Frequent washing and oiling should make a harness of the proper weight and grade last 15 to 20 years. —Do not delay ordering lime for the spring crops. If you wait until the last minute no one can deliver it. on time. Experiments at The Penn- sylvania State College show that me- dium applications of any form of lime once in each rotation are more eco- nomical than heavier applications at longer intervals. —Prospects for the sheep industry in 1925 appear favorable. The world wool outlook and the prospective meat situation in this country promise prices for 1925 at least on a par with those of 1924. There does not appear to be any immediate danger of over- production, as the increase in the num- ber of sheep has as yet been only slight. —Many people are wondering what to do with the ash pile this spring. If the garden soil is heavy it can be made lighter ‘and more porous by spreading the ashes over the garden and turning them under, say vegeta- ble gardening specialists of The Penn- sylvania State College. Coal ashes have very little if any fertilizing val- 36, the beneficial effect is chiefly phys- ical. —There are as many horses and mules of working age on farms as will be needed for the coming season, and er than they were a year ago. A de- cided decrease in colt production dur- points to a future shortage of good work stock. This shortage is likely to be’ acute during the time that colts foaled this ‘year and next, or even young horses purchased now are still in active service. —The outlook of the poultry indus- try during 1925 from the standpoint of market egg prices ‘is favorable while from the standpoint of market poultry prices it is not so encourag- ing. It seems probable that higher egg prices will prevail during the sea- son of flush production this year than last. With an abnormally large car- ry over of dressed poultry in storage it seems probable that lower prices on market poultry may prevail for at least the first half of the year. —Forty-seven Counties to See For- estry Plantings.—Right along with the reforestration movement of the nation comes the Penn State forestry extension service with 114 demonstra- tions scheduled in 47 Keystone coun- ties this year. This is 64 more dem- onstrations than were held in 1924 and 16 new counties are involved. At least ninety-five per cent. of the forestry demonstrations staged in the State this year will be of the perma- nent type. They will run for a per- iod of years near highways where the plots may be observed easily by trav- demonstrations can be started be- tween March 24 and May 15. The purpose of the forestry demon- strations as explained by C. R. Ander- son and F. T. Murphey, forestry ex- tension = specialists of Pennsylvania State College, is to promote the use planting. They hold many meetings at the scene of the demonstrations where the “how, why, when and what” of forest planting is explained. In some of the counties the county agents grams for agricultural improvement. —*“Old Dobbin” is still the cheapest form of farm field power yet invented and it will be some time before our farms can be economically worked without him, J.

Hundreds of horses are being im- ported annually for replacement pur- poses, he ‘said, while breeding opera- tions within the State remain at a low ebb. Neglect of horse stock is apparent all over the State, and breeding stock, for the most part, is very inferior. Mares are aged and good stallions are very scarce, Vial declared. For a constructive horse program for Pennsylvania, the horse specialist urged use of the stallion project, the filly club, and the gelding club in ex- tension work. He emphasized the need of care in choosing stallions of high quality for use in breeding work. The great rank and file of mares are not of a type aad size for breeding stock, he said. “Too often horses are regarded as a necessary evil on the farms,” Vial declared. “The result is that, con- sciously or not, the caliber of our horse stock has slipped back until it is worse than we realize. Our old Sorsenians Pride has been dulled and ! eadened seriously.’ SF To assist in reviving this essential | fif2 y g r Sh St element where horses are needed on i €d c S oe Or’ € the farm, the Ton Gelding Club has | &5 been organized, preferably with the |[Q boys of high school age.

On Monday G. B. Fry sold twenty-one head to G. W. Koch which averaged 166 pounds per hog. Pretty good for late summer pigs.
