nN "electric THE POST, FRIDAY, APRIL 28. 1950 “FARM TOPICS -a8 Grow Clean Plants—Many de- structive vegetable diseases may be avoided by growing seedlings in soil free from disease-causing organisms. A. H. Bauer, exten- sion pathologist of the Pennsylvania State College, says one way is to use clean soil and the other way is to treat the soil with formal- dehyde *two weeks before using it. Provide More Space— Since young chicks occupy more space and eat more feed as they grow, many poultrymen supply at least three sizes of feeding equipment, reports F. H. Leuschner, extension poultry specialist of the Pennsyl- vania State College. They ‘start with a 24-inch feeder for 40 to 60 day-old chicks. Test Old Gamden Seed—Vege- table seed left over from last year can be used this spring if it has been properly stored. However, J. O. Dutt, extension vegetable spec- ialist of the Pennsylvania State College, urges gardeners to run a germination test, either sowing seeds in a flat or between moist blotting paper in a tray or plate. Drain Wet Spots—Wet spots in a field are a nuisance. Through tile drainage they can be dried up so that all the field can be plowed at the same time, reminds C. G. Burress, Penn State exten- sion agricultural engineer, and labor will be saved. Plant Asparagus—If you are planning to plant asparagus this spring, use either the Mary Wash- ington or Martha Washington variety. Penn State extension vegetable specialists recommend using 1-year-old plants and plant- ing early about 8 inches deep. Set Ornamentals—Spring is a good time to set out ornamental shrubs, says A. O. Rasmussen, Penn State extension ornamental horticulturist. = Ask your county agent about suitable varieties for your location. New Insect Killer—Many vege- table gardeners will use a new in- secticide for the first time this year. It is methoxychlor, a close relative of DDT, but far less poison- ous. J. O, Pepper, extension en- tomologist of the Pennsylvania State College, explains that the new insecticide does not injure foliage or stunt growth of plants. Protect Machinery—If you pro- tect your machinery, you may be protecting your life. Penn State extension agricultural engineers say that many accidents are caused each year by machinery that has not been kept in good condition. All machinery and even hand tools should be thoroughly lubricated and make-shift repairs avoided. Save the Lambs—The average farmer produces to market age about 85 lambs from every 100 ewes. W. B. Connell, extension livestock specialist of the Pennsyl- vania State College, reports that well-managed flocks have 115 lambs from 100 ewes. Through better care farmers can save more lambs and increase their profits. Beautify Grounds— Throughout the country the ‘Plant America” program is gaining momentum, ac- cording to A. O. Rasmussen, Penn State extension ornamental horti- cultrist. He believes that every person can aid in this program to improve the landscape. Test the Water— If you are thinking of buying a water soft- ener, take the suggestion of C. G. Burress, Penn State extension agri- cultural engineer, and have the water tested before you buy a soft- ener. Some dealers take a sample and send it to the manufacturer for analysis. Provide Power—When a storm or some other cause cuts off the power, fortunate is the dairyman who has provided a source of emergency power to do the milking, reminds Ivan Parkin, Penn State extension dairy special- ist. ~ Injured In Spokane Harry Covert of Spokane, Wash- ington, shoulder injuries Saturday night, April 17 when he fainted and lost control of his car two blocks from his home. Damage to his 1947 Chev- rolet amounted to $400.00. He is a former resident of Dallas and Leh- _ man. received severe head and First Foal of Season Arrives At Mountain Evergreen Stables Early Monday morning a beau- tiful little stud colt was foaled at Mountain Evergreen Stables, West Dallas, owned by Mr. and Mrs. William Stoeckert. He is a nicely formed, well made little fel- low with a beautiful head and neck, nice straight legs and large strong bones, everything to be de- sired in a colt. The sire of the colt is Beau King, the twenty-six year old five gaited, fine harness stallion also belonging to Mountain Evergreen Stables. In- cidentally, he was just recently ex- amined by the veterinarian for 1950 stallion license and found to be sound and perfect in every way, which is quite a record for his age. In his younger days he was suc- cessfully shown at Kentucky State Fair and Madison Square Garden and as late as two years ago took second in his class at Troy, Pa. show. The dam of the colt is Noble Champayne by the great stallion Noble Kalarama who is nineteen years of age and still commands a fee for service of $200.00. The February, 1950 issue of Na- tional ‘Horseman said ‘at the age of nineteen he is as full of flesh, look and spirit as many stallions ten years his junior.” They also say ‘what word could be used to describe his ability to sire show horses with beauty, nerve, marrow and precise gait? What word could be used both for the stallion and his innumerable get than the word —Triumphant. He was grand cham- pion Fine Harness Horse of Ken- tucky State Fair and the only horse to beat Vanity who was proclaimed unbeatable.” In the National Horseman Sire Rating he had thirty-nine offspring listed with a total of 61030 points, making him third on the stallion list for 1948. And with twenty-five offspring listed with a total of 32910 points he was fourth on the stallion list for 1949. Although Stoeckerts bought the dam for a brood mare only, they showed her a few times and she was always in the ribbons, being second at the last Irem Temple Horse Show and already in foal at the time. With such ancestors the little fel- low just fodled has wonderful prospects of being a top show stallion. Visitors are always welcome at Mountain Evergreen Stables. Pike’s Creek 0. H.
