In some seasons the high­ est yields were obtained from rows not thinned or chopped but left with plants averaging 2 to 4 in­ ches apart. Closely spaced plants produce few vegetative branches, so that the lanes between the rows are left open and the ground exposed to direct sunlight during the summer. The heat of the sun in the open row lanes rapidly dries out the squares containing the boll­ weevil larvae and materially re- duces their number. The most thorough method of eradicating avian tuberculosis (tu­ berculosis of fowls) is to slaughter the entire flock when indications point to an extensive outbreak. Fowls in good flesh, showing no l lesions or slight ones, may be used for food. Badly diseased birds and all visceral organs should be de­ stroyed. The chicken houses, en­ closed runs, and all eating, drink- i ing, and other utensils should be | thoroughly cleaned and disinfected I with a strong solution of such ger­ micides as carbolic acid, cresol, or any of the recognized coal-tar pre- 1 parations or dips. Carbolic acid may be used in 5 per cent solution, compound cresol in 3 per cent sol­ I. ution, and formaldehyde in the proportion of 1 part of commercial formalin to 10 parts of water. Or­ dinary quicklime is a good, cheap disinfectant for poultry yards. Tabulations of cow-testing-asso- McCormic Deering Agency MOWERS RAKES SEPARATORS CULTIVATORS PLOWS (jeriuine I. H. C.
