COOPERATIVE WORK WITH
MISSOURI FARMERS,

The Missouri Experiment Station II
making cooperative experiments with
the farmers In 1o5 of the ia counties
periments are conducted for the pur-
pose Of determining the best methods
Of soil tillage, varieties Of farm crops,
methods of fruit production. profitable
dairy farms and the organization and
administration Of farm enterprises
In 1911, there were 366 men in los
counties cooperating with the central
Experiment Station at Columbia in ex-
periments to determine the best meth
DDS of farming. III carrying on this
work, 5000 packages Of seed and more
than 10000 pounds OF fertilizer were
used
These cooperative experiments have
already demonstrated that alfalfa can
be succ essfully grown in every county
of the state.
The Horticulture Investigations in
eight different districts have shown
that by proper fertilization Of orchards
and timely spraying, the profits from
orcharding in Missouri may be greatly
increased.
The dairy farm co-operators on
seven farms in. southwest Missouri
have, under the direction of the Dairy
Department. increased their profits in
some cases more than 20 per cent.
The assistance given to farmers by
the Department of Farm Management
in the organization and administration
have accomplished in some cases ex-
traordinary results in increasing
yields Some Of the owners Of farms
cooperating In this work have made
the following statements in reference
TO the value Of this work on their In
dividual farms:
j. "The yield has been increased at
least four fold; corn from 10 to 40
bushels per acre"
2 "The financial side Of my farm
ing has been helped from three to five
hundred dollars"
8. 1.-THE financial side has been
helped $1,000 this year.
4. 1.-THE returns from my farm this
year have been at least $500 more
than they were before"

An IMPORTANT elm INSECT
Another Destructive Insect Pest Has Found It's Way Into
the Trees Of This Country from Europe
ally remaining distinct.
BY z. H. HILLMAN.

ally remaining distinct,
The preceding description applies
to the female only. The male insect
assumes very different form. As the
males do not take food. they may be
found at any point on the bark, usu-
ally, however, In more or less pro-
tecting spots. On nearing maturity.
the males secrete minute pocket
like case, or cocoon, within which they
cast their larval skin, and acquire a
single pair Of wings. They then
emerge from the cocoon, and mating
with the females. disappear The emp
ty cocoons remain attached to the
bark. They occur singly. but usually
In clusters, each a minute white object
less than a twelfth of an inch long.
Where the plates Of cork are ,numer-
Gus on the branches of the cork elm,
the female lice become fixed to the
narrow strips Of living bark between
the plates Of cork, while the male CO.
coons may be found in the narrow
crevices In the cork,
The young lice. as they appear at
this season, can be seen with the I'M
aided eye only on close examination.
Under a strong lens, cluster Of them
presents dull grayish appearance.
Individually they are somewhat oval
in shape, and are covered with minute
whitish spines. Most Of them are
quiet In their place Of Information. but
on being disturbed many will leave
their positions moving sluggishly.
The destruction Of this insect should
not be attended with the difficulty
that has characterize efforts In this
direction against the San Jose and
other scale insects. The latter are
protected by roof-like scale which
protects the tender parts Of the body
and enables the insects to very eff
fectually resist the remedies ordinar-
lily employed. In the case Of the elm
insect the body remains exposed and
thus is more likely to yield to the &C
ton of corrosive washes.

CONSIDERABLE PROFIT IN ''BABY BEEF"

ture 80 early as well-bred cattle and
only the latter should be chosen for
the production Of "baby beef"
The best plan for securing early
maturity Is to have the calves come
In the fall. They may then be fed on
skimmilk and grain until the pastures
are green in the spring. When they
should be turned to pasture with
daily grain ration. When the pasture
gets short In the fall the calves may
be taken up and forced on hay and
grain to the age Of Is or II months.
