Capt. H. e. Parks several days ago
discovered that about One-third OF Il
field of oats on his farm OF about
thirty acres had been totally destroy
ed by some insect. Or examination
he discovered some suspicious looking
insects in the oats. and sent several
of them to the Agricultural Expert
ment Station at Raleigh for exami-
nation. y few days later he received
a letter from Mr.. r. l.. Smith, en-
.tOmOlogist, who says that the insects.
instead of being destructive TO the
oats feed on the lice which are doing
the evil work. Mr.. Smith continues.
The insects IN the plants are the
young of lady bird beetles which feed
on plant lice. These beetles are very
beneficial, and their presence is al
most certain evidence that the plants
are infested with lice. / could not
find any live lice, but see indications
of their having been present.

SOME GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

Be very careful about giving the
brood mare heavy loads at this sea
son, but they must have enough gen
tie exercise to keep them in good
form.
Now doth the little louise get in his
work on the chickens. Keep going
the w~hitewash brush, the powder ear
and the kerosene sprayer.
The farm well often sends up from
its cool depths the rankest kind of
typhoid germs. See that no foul wa
ter drains into it from the surface or
seeps trough from ~outhOuses.
Spread a large sheet under the plum
tree and Jar Mr.. Curculio off his
perch. He turns out over n brood
a year and any fruit that shows his
sting should. be burned.
A good time. to transfer the bees
from old~-fashioned wooden hives into
new ones is when the blossoms are
plentiful.
The poultry water vessels should be
given more attention than ever.
Remember! Do not feed newly
Matched hie too soon. They will
die from indigestion if you do.
Do you know chicks often die from
regular chills? Well, they do. Keep
them dry and warm on damp, chilly
days.
Now the calves are coming along,
and to start them right means a good
animal, While neglect ear a poor

stall. Give him a small but secure

FORMING A DAIRY HERD
Much Care Should BE Exercised i'm the
Selection Of the Parent Stock

Those about to embark upon a
stock--breeding enterprise should see
that before q single animal is bought
the farm is provided with suitable
buildings Tor the purpose, and in the
next place procure the services of an
experienced and thoroughly skilled
Stockman. and every successful
breeder of farm anima!s viii indorse
the wisdom n soundness OF this ad-
vice.
Beginners hou1d not be tempted TO
BUY on show yard rather than herd
book qualifications. The aspirant who
Is most likely to realize his desires is
the man who makes uD his mind as
TO the particular strain or type of ami
NAL he is to produce, and, having done
THIS. feSolute'y carries out his ideas in
practice. Consequently he should not
allow himself to be tempted on any
account to buy animals not exactly of
the pedigree or class likely to improve
his herd merely because that animal
has achieved notable triumphs in the
show yard.
In the case OF bulls the need for
such exacting discrimination is espe-
clally necessary. us MANY q herd has

AS to the selection of bulls. especial

CULTIVATION OF CORN
some Good ADVICE From the Agricul-
tuPial DenartmpDt

n Farmers Cooperative Demon
stration work, under the auspices Of
the L. S. Department of Agriculture, is
giving our farmers some good advice
IN regard to the early cultivation of
crops. The information obtained from
It's literature and through its men in
regard to corn growing is about as
follows:
Corn is one of the crops that re-
Qulres a great deal of moisture. Every
stalk of average size will need three
hundred pounds of water to make q
good yield. This amount scarcely ever
tails during the growing season, hence
we must keep in the soil the winter
rains for the use of the corn at any
time that it may need it. 1t is a we'll
known fact that a corn crop is ruined
by a drought. But if the land was
broken early and deeply SO that it
caught the winter ain and then if BY
proper cultivation the moisture is kept
IN the soil a good corn crop can be
made in spite of a drought. One of the
main Objecl; of cultivation from now
on. therefore, will be to cultivate shall
low and frequently to conserve the
moisture which is lost mainly by eyap-
Grating into the air. If the soil is
kept loose on top evaporation is
checked. Hence a Weeder or other
light harrow or cultivatOr should be
run over the soil every week or ten
lays until the corn is too large. This
loose dirt on top acts like a blanket
would on a wet horse. It keeps the
winds from carrying it off. Moisture is
always found under a plank or other
covering on the ground. The loose
soil on top in the field acts in the
same way in retaining moisture.
After the first or second cultivation.
and after the cor is six to eight
inches high, all blowing should be
shallow. A turn pillow, q long scooter
(gOpher) or other deep running i'm
plements, is not the best thing to culti-
Fate corn with after the roots get out
into the soil. Any deep blowing after
this breaks the roots. thus cutting off
the W Of the corr to get food and
water. This early and frequent Gull
tiVation also keeps down the weeds
and grass. 1t is usually the grass that
comes up with the corn that gives the
most trouble and that has to be gotten
out by expensive hand hoeing. The
best time to kill these before they an
pear o surface, that is just when
they are s%prouting. This is always
lust after a ram. Stirring the soil
dislodges them n kills them.
This work must oe done Just as
soon after a rain as the soil is dry
enough to allow it. After the grass
is an inch high and after the soil has
crusted the Weeder or harrow will not
do much good. Many farmers make
slgnal failures on this point by wait
ing two or three days too long after a
ram and often unit! they see a coat
of young grass. The farmer must
watch conditions and get there in time
or his work, is largely lost. Such i'm
PIGMENTS should be used as will not re-
Qulre more than one or two trins per
row. This is economy,-one of the
Things not often given much attention
on the farm. The important thing.
then, is never to let a crust form on
