A farm boy of Spokane county, Wash., belonging to a junior agricul­ tural extension club, was u ton-Utter contest winner of 1024, according to reports to the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture, Ho not only pro­ duced 3,035 pounds of pork from one litter of pigs In sis; months, but kept a careful record of bow he did It, In­ cluding the kind and amount of feeds used and nil expense Involved. His records show that his pigs made an average dally gain of 1.4 pounds each each from date of birth until sold. This gain eost.a lltfle less than 8 1-8 cents per pound, not Including ulfalfn pas­ ture to which the pigs always bad free access. The boy sold lilfi prize win­ ners to a packing house for $11,10 per 100 pounds, receiving 25 cents per 100 pounds because of the excellent finish of Ids hogs. . This young stockman, Fred Gray, be­ gun In the swine business about two years ago by joining a pig clbb which the Junior agricultural extension agent of the county organized, buying a pig. as other pig club members do, to feed and manage In demonstrating the economic value of the best methods in swine husbandry. His purchase was a DurOc sow of excellent type;.. He built a warm, movable hog house, pro­ vided plenty of clean water and pas­ ture, and carefully practiced good san­ itation methods In addition to efficient feeding. He.was able to raise eight pigs, from the first Utter. , With the second litter he won the contest. Early Spring Best Time to Apply Oil Sprays Many fruit growers are Interested in the use of oil sprays for the control of Sun Jose scale. Miscible, oil may be purchased from commercial manufac­ turers, while mineral oil emulsion,i may be prepared at home. Oil sprays are more effective than lime-sulphur, for the control of Sun Jose scale, but they apparently have less fungicidal value, and there Is more danger of In­ jury to the trees resulting'from oil ap­ plications, says Drt F. H, Lnthrop, - chief of the entomology division nt GTemson college, who adds, that the- most Important use of oil sprays is the occasional application for the thorough clean-up of San Jose scale. For regu­ lar use, season after season, the old reliable lhne-sulphur Is safer. Oil sprays' for San Jose scale should lu> applied during the dormant season, bu t. , prolonged periods of cold weather should he avoided. A very satisfactory time for making applications of- oil. sprays Is In tile early spring just its the buds are swelling., Garden Insect Pests The Insect pests are two In variety, those that eat the foliage and stems and blossoms and'those that suck tlm Juices of the plant. The former in­ clude the potato hug and cabbpge worm. The latter-are confined largely to plant lice. For the eaters, arsenical poisons are the proper treatment, Plant lice, which now appear, in all shades from pale green to black, with the exception of blue ones—and they may appear—yield to a ,spray of nico­ tine or tobacco. Planting Strawberries . Strawberries should be grown on rather fertile, soil, preferably on soil that has been manured the winter be­ fore. The best time to plnnt the standard variety Is In early spring; al­ though lute fall planting is no less, successful. The Everbearing variety seems to succeed rather better when planted In the fall, according to W. R. Martin, Jr., extension horticulturist of- the Kansas State Agricultural college. see I C. N.

GIlRtSN «:<Mor or «msAi*TH’* T A&T March durifig m usual spring" L epidemic of colds, Doctors.Ved- der and Sawyer of t h e . Medical corps of the United states army an­ nounced that they had worked out a method of ireatlng colds by Inhaling chlorine gas. Colds are nasty, bother­ some, expensive and dangerous nui­ sances. Anything which will prevent or shorten them would he ft great ben­ efit to all of.'us. A number of prominent people, In­ cluding the President, were given* the trentmeht. Many of those Treated found their colds relieved. Associated Press dispatches Sent out all over the country appeared, in news items In thousands of papers, bo - that a great deul of general interest was aroused In this new treatment. * a Naturally doctors, hospitals and health departments began to try chlo­ rine gas on pntlents for the relief or cure of different diseases of the nose, throat and lungs. Tills is the way our knowledge of the treatment of diseases grows. Some doctor gets unusually good results from some new method of tre; tmont, He announces his re-' suits, other doctors and institutions take It up nnd try It out. It Is not until the hew method lias been care­ fully tested by many men, In different parts of the country, on large numbers of patients and the m u lls all collect­ ed and carefully tabulated anil studied* that ahy positive statement can be made regarding Its value. Among others, the health commis­ sioner of New York established two clinics for giving this treatment.' The result of two months’ work lius just been announced In the Health Bulletin of New York city* According to this report, out of over fhe hundred persons treated, 33 pa­ tients m* 0.5 per emit were cured. Fifty-three per cent Improved during the treatment. How much was due to the gas and now much to natural re­ covery In not stated. 'The treatment was of no benefit In whooping- cough. In asthma ami hay fever, the chlorine seemed to make the imliofils worse. No other report of tlie results In n largo number of cases fins yet been made. So that nt present \ve must un't.for further reports before ’coming to any- conclusions ns to the value of this treatment.
