To undertake to obtain the recognition

which he worked almost for two
years. Maj Jeffrey is the man who

Arsenate of Soda.

Experiment stations have tried to
devise less costly substitutes for Paris
green and lead arsenate. Arsenate of
soda is the most practicable one for
potatoes thus far suggested. 1t is per-
fectly and readily dissolved in water
and on this account can be more even
~ distributed in the spray than ma
terials such as Paris green and arsen-
ate of lead that do not dissolve but are
held in mechanical suspension. 1t 6as
the serious disadvantage that if used
by itself it will burn the foliage. 1t is
perfectly safe to use upon potatoes
when used with Bordeaux mixture
Commercial preparations of arsenate
of soda are on the market under
trade names. The following from the
Maine Station shows how to prepare
and use this insecticde. 1t should be
used only on potatoes and in exact ac-
cord with the directions.
Arsenate of soda stock solution, is
prepared as follows: Place two pounds
of white arsenic and eight pounds of
sal soda i'll two gallons of water Boil
until dissolved, add water to make up
to original volume. Store in well
stoppered bottles or jugs with poison
label On them. This is much cheap
er poison than Paris green to use with
Bordeaux and it remains in suspen-
sion better, but it is not safe to use It
alone with lime. White arsenic costs
less per pound than Paris green and
will go twice as far in that two gal
Ions of arsenate of soda stock solution
Will do as much execution as four
pounds of Paris green. For use apply
in fine spray with Bordeaux mixture
Use one quart of arsenate of soda
stock solution to each so gallons of
Bordeaux mixture.

formaldehyde to thirty gallons OF
water-for two hours. Old potato
fields are almost certain to contain
the organism, and fields that have
been previously planted to potatoes
are much more likely to be infested
than ground on which rotation has
been. practiced. The average yield on
new soils for treated potatoes, has
been 223 bushels marketable potatoes,
"A per cent sound. New land not
treated, IT'S bushels, 65 per cent
sound. Old land treated, 1876 bushels,
II per cent sound, not treated SO bush
els, 46 per cent sound. In this ex-
animation for soundness. even the
slightest affection which did not injure
the potato materially for market at
that time was regarded as an unsound-
ness. Little differentce has been
noted in the success OF treatment with
corrosive sublimate and formaldehyde
solution. The corrosive sublimate is
much more poisonous and the for
maldehyde is rather more easily pre-
pared. The cost with formaldehyde
has averaged $1.15 per acre and cor
rosive sublimate dollar per acre.

ly per cent of the yield was unsal-
able while on the old land, Is per
cent was salable.
Experiments almost without excep-
ton force the conclusion that fall
blowing may be depended upon for an
increase in yield. The average re-
suits from five fields at different
points between Topeka and Muncie
show that the average of the fall
plowed land in 1911 was 10S bushels
while the average Of land plowed in
the spring was but 70 bushels. In the
same localities and soils in 1912, the
average of the fall plowed land was
290 bushels while the average of the
spring plowed was 173 bushels.
The general average is in favor of
northern grown seed. The principal
advantage of the northern grown seed
over the home grown seems to lie in
the fact that Kansas summers are
not conducive to the best maturity Of
the potato seed. Seed dug early and
stored so as to keep it firm and sound,
has compared closely with the north
ern grown seed but as a rule the home
grown seed sprouts more readily and
seed that is sprouted is weakened in
consequence as the second sprouts are
not so vigorous as the first. Sprouted
seed should rarely be planted if other

In Kansas the corn ear-worm de-
stroys annually from five to ten per
cent of the entire corn crop, which
means a money loss of from four to
eight million dollars. Aside from this
injury, it also causes considerable loss
to garden crops such as sweet corn,
peas, and tomatoes. 1t is an enemy
of alfalfa and some years destroys a
considerable part of the last crop.
While it is impossible to eradicate
the corn ear-worm, it is possible and
practicable to reduce the great loss
of from four to eight million dollars
to sum fully fifty per cent less. In
a series Of experiments carried on by
the department of entomology of the
Kansas State Agricultural College
during the years of 1903, 1910, and
1912, it has been found that the time
of planting corn has much to do with
the amount of injury. In these ex-
periments six plots of corn were plant
ed on the following dates: April 10,
May /, May 10, June l, June 10, and
July 1. In each plot three rows each
of Boone County White, Kansas Sun
flower, and Hildreth were planted

have shown a large increase in the
