Centre Democrat. [volume] (Bellefonte, Pa.) 1848-1989, 1881-06-23

We are indebted to Secretary T.
j. Edge for copies of the twelfth
quarterly report of the State Board
of Agriculture. The Board is doing
much good work for the cause of ag-
ricuIture in the State, and we believe
it is appreciated by all our best farm
ers, The summer meeting of the
Board was held last week in William
sport, and the local papers speak of
it as one of great interest. One of
the most interesting features was the
address Of Prof. Jordan, of the State
College, upon "Thc Economical use
of Stock Foods" We have not
room now for even synposis of
Prof J.'s address, but shall cndeavor
to give it in full before the feeding
season arrives. The fall meeting of
the Board will be held at York.

TnE use OF artificial or CONNER
cjal fertilizers is rapidly growing
throughout our State, and their cost
has become n very important item in
the annual expense of many farmers.
The DEMOCRAT steadily and earnest
ly protests against the substitution
of these mineral fertilizers for good
farmyard manure. hy the average
farmer, but holds that in very many
instances this may be supplemented
by him with great advantage The
farmer who uses them 10 any CON
siderable extent. however, must cx-
crcjsc great care and circumspection
in making his purchases. or he will
certainly pay Tor more than he gets. "
The opportunity for fraud and adul-
teration in their composition Is too
great TO be carelessly thrown aside by
the average manufacturer, We believe
We are perfectly safe in saying that
of all the many brands on the mar
ket, more than onc.half are sold Mt
figures far above any possible return
tue purchaser can derive from their
use. The State Board of ArricuI.
ture is doing excellent service by an
alyzing samples OF such Of these al
legged "fertilizers" as are offered for
sale in the State, and publishing
their real values and selling prices,
side by side, for the benefit of farm
ers. We have before us table Just
issued by the Board giving the re-
suits of fifty.eight samples selected
in accordance with the act of June
IS, 1879. OF the ffty-eight brands
represented no less than forty-ono
may be claimed as fraudulent, as they
are sold at prices averaging very
much above even the theoretical value
accorded them by chemical analysis.
OF the fifty.eigbt brands reported, five
are represented as having been selec.
ted in Bellefontc, though all were
manufactured outside of this State,
and of these five but one is worth
more to the farmer than it's selling
price, and in this the theoretical mar.
gin of profit is but three dollars and
thirty-four cents per ton. Once
more We say use all possible care
and diligence in making, saving and
applying stable manure; and in pur.
chasing the alleged fertilizers of the
market, abe sure you're right, then

HAWK MOTH TRAPS

During the past few years wire traps
have been introduced which are hung
through the field, with flowers Of the
jamestown weed inserted as bait.
They are reported as being eifectual,
considerable numbers of moths being
sometimes captured In a single night.
An ingenious rennessesn has also con
ceived the idea of making imitation
jamestown weed flowers out Of porce.
lain. These are charged with poison
every evening and hung through the
field. Being cheap, large numbers can
be employed and they are said to do
their work very etfectually. 90 far as
we know, they have not been tried in
Pennsylvania. but they seem to us to
merit favorable consideration. In the
use of the above remedies or prevent.
ives there should be cooperation among
the tobacco growers of a district. II
such is not the case. no matter how fast
one farmer kills off the moths. plenty
more will come from abroad to take
their place.
No matter however concerted or de.

waged, plenty will escape every method

purpose, without parading it. His explanations
struck me as being almost invariably judicious,
