Loss by Smut.

Recently in walking through some
Illinois wheat fields the writer was
struck by the number of smutty heads
that were found In another field
nearby the smutty heads were appar-
emily few. and the writer remarked
on the fact A farmer said that he
was deceived by the lack of manifes-
tation of the smut, but that it was
there all the same. Then he pointed
out a large number of stalks that had
attained only half height, as the smut
had killed the head and the grain
had stopped growing. 1t was SO COW
cred by the leaf that the smut did
not show till it was looked for. Then.
too, a good many heads had had the
smut whipped OF by the wind and did
not show black to the casual glance:
but when examined they were seen to
be destitute of wheat grains. A care
fu1 observer estimated that the loss
from smut in that field would be at
least per cent. The injury could
have been prevented by the expendi-
ture of very small sum of money I'm
treating the seed at time of sowing.

The Cooling Moth.

ne OOoiin9 MOtn.
The codling moth is without doubt
the most important insect enemy with
which apple growers in the United
states have to contend. The pest
does not at the present time appear
TO have reached all the apple growing
regions of the United States, notably
some parts of the northwest regions
OF the country, including Oregon and
Washington. Yet how soon it will be-
come destructive pest there no one
can tell. The insect is easy to dis
tribute, as everyone that has pur-
chased apples can well understand.
Tor the worm travels incognito in the
fru1t itself. The part of the apple
with the worm in it is thrown out on
the ground and in due time the moth
emerges. This is doubtless the way
In which the pest has been spread
Or course no man in making a ship
ment OF apples has taken a second
thought OF this matter. When fruit
Is shipped long distances in boxes
and barrels the worms have frequent
ly emerged from the fruit and spun
cocoons in the corners of the boxes
and the moths have come out before
the apples were disposed Of When
the boxes were opened the moths, of
course, went out and sought the near
est apple trees. Where there are
large commission houses the larvae
crawl out of the apples and often get
into cracks and under boards and spin
tfelr cocoons, and thence the moths
emerge to become the means of in
Testing the orchards in that vicinity
When the spreading of this pest is so
easily. accomplished, it is a wonder
that any part OF the country remains
where the codling moth is not
Had our people at first well under
stood the Importance of this pest and
the method it uses in spreading from
locality to locality it would have been
comparatively easy to have prevent
ed its spread altogether, for then only
perfectly sound apples could have
been shipped to new localities. But
with this, as with most of the other
pests that have made trouble, we our
selves imported it and carried it about
with us, never thinking about the pos
sible results. Now it must be fought
and at great expense year by year in
a million orchards. Our improvidence
is costing us dearly. The spraying of
the trees with arsenica1 poisons at the
time the codling moths are laying
their eggs is the only remedy that is
very effective.

Drainage and Land Erosion

The question of land erosion is a
large one in some parts of the coun-
try, especially in the south, where the
soil is not covered by very firm
sod and where the rain often comes
in great downpours. A study OF the
matter seems to show that the erosion
begins in the spots that have been
kept soft by some little spring that
is oozing out of the soil. The remedy
appears to be to run drains slantingly
down the hill to catch all the water
that falls and carry it away under
ground rather than leaving it. to catch
the rills and aid them in furrowing
out the soil. Drain tile was used In
the experiments last year. The drains
were SO arranged that the storm
water would be scattered rather than
concentrated. The results of one sea-
sons experience give hopes for the
best; for in the fields so treated last
year no washing of the soil occurred

Saving Irrigation Water.

The application of water to soil for
irrigation purposes is a matter that is
but poorly understood. The building
OF great reservoirs and the digging of
expensive canals and the application
to the work of the science of the prac-
tical civil engineer have been all ele-
ments of cost in the past. At the
present time good many other meth
DDS of applying waterare being tried.
One of these is sprinkling. This
method saves the cost of irrigation
bitches, but as practical method
has not yet been fully worked out
Perhaps the matter has not yet been
handled on a large enough scale.
However, there has certainly been a
good deal of water wasted in the past.
if recent investigations say anything.
Last year in California trials were
made irrigating in bitches one foot
deep and irrigating by help of bitches
three inches deep. To the surprise of
the investigators it was found that in
irrigating in bitches three inches deep
at least one-third more water was re-
Quired- AS the three-inch bitches are
quite generally used in some sections,
it is evident that in such cases Is per
cent of the water has been thrown
away.

Soil Surveys.


IL is now developing that we should
nave practical soil survey of every
state In the union, for every state in
the union is engaged in the production
o. cereals, fruits and vegetables, as
We'll as of grasses. The surveys in
most OF the states have been of the
geological order 1t was necessary
tnat these surveys should be first
made; for they are very valuable in
indicating the composition of soil, and
the outlines of the various formations
are indicative of areas that will give
largely the same results when put
under the plow. The practical sur
vey is however what we want. This
KIND of survey is being made in nli-
no1s, where, in addition to the geo.
logical survey, test is being made of
the ability of the soils to produce GER
tain crops. The state of Illinois has
appropriated large sum of money
for the carrying on of this work, but
1T is safe to say that the money is
coming back to the state several
times over. The examinations of the
soil in the southern part of the state
are bound to work a revolution in the
farming of all that section. The dis
covery of the acid condition of the
SOIL and the ease by which it may
De cured is worth many millions of
dollars to Illinois farmers and to the
men that will yet invest their money
In those lands. 1t is also almost GER
tain that as a result of this work
there will be steady shifting of the
population toward the southern part
OF the state, where the winters are
mild and the climate good. The same
kind of practical soil survey should
exist in every state. 1t takes money
to carry on work of this kind; and
II the other states do not take hold
OF the matter in earnest they will
find their own interests being injured
by the growing Importance of Illinois
agriculture. The work that is being
done in Illinois is not an index of
what may be the condition in other
states, and the state legislature that
hopes to profit enough by the work in
Illinois to make it unnecessary for it
to appropriate money will find that it
has failed to make a paying invest
ment.

How Air Affects Cream.

A French savant claims to have
found out that air affects cream very
detrimentally on account of the oxy-
gen in it. Perfectly pure air he would
have us believe so affects the upper
layers of cream that has stood for any
time that to get the best results in the
matter of flavor these layers must be
skinned of and not used in the max
ing of butter. This is drawing the line
very close, and we are not sure that
he is right In fact our scientists have
looked into these matters very care
fully and are of the opinion that per-
fectly pure air does not affect cream
detrimenta1ly. There is, however.
