san jose Under Control.

San Jose scale. though under con.
troll, is now doing damage in about
IL widely scattered districts in Kan
sas. It will develop, once 1t gets a
start, wherever fruit trees are grown.
The scales are carried from state to
state. principally by infested nursery
stock, buds or scions. and locally by
small animals and birds. Some trees.
such as peach and pear, are Of no
value after one or two years infesta-
ton with San Jose. Though this pest
is under control in Kansas, new In
festations are discovered occasionally.
Careful spraying and close inspection
are necessary to prevent its spreading.
In some sections Of the state the scale
has been eradicated by spraying.

In Kansas the corn ear-worm de-
stroys annually from five to ten per
cent of the entire corn crop, which
means q money loss Of from four to
eight million dollars. Aside from this
injury, 1t also causes considerable loss
to garden crops such as sweet corn,
Speas, and tomatoes. It Is an enemy
OF alfalfa and some years destroys a
considerable part of the last crop.
While 1t is impossible to eradicate
the corn ear-worm, 1t is possible and
practicable to reduce the great loss
of from four to eight million dollars
to a 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 1909, 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 is,
May /, May Is, June /, June is, and
July /. In each plot three rows each
OF Boone County White, Kansas Sun
flower, and Hildreth were planted.
The results Of the three years work
have shown a large increase in the
yields and decrease in the corn ear
worm injury in the plot planted May
j. The following table shows the re-
suits for the work In 1912:
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1913-05-08

bushels an acre. in the new land, on
ly per cent of the yield was unsal-
able while on the old land, 16 per
cent was salable.
Experiments almost without excep-
tion 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 los 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
230 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 II other

y N THE observations and expert
ments conducted by the hortt
cultural department OF the Agri'
cultural Experiment Station, at a
number OF places in the Kaw Valley
in 1911 and 1912, a very considerable
amount OF data has been obtained
which demonstrates that there are
many variable factors in the success
OF the potato crop. In the matter OF
soils, the previous history has much to
do with the success. In 1911 the aver
age for land that had been previously
in potatoes was 40 bushels of salable
potatoes while on the land not previ'
ously in potatoes the average was SO.
In one field of upland in corn In
1909, sweet potatoes in 1910, yielded
10S bushels an acre. Land In corn In
1909, onions in 1910 yielded so bushels
an acre while land in potatoes in 1909
and 1910 yielded an average OF 60

be greatly reduced by fall blowing.
Wherever corn land is fall plowed the
burrows of the corn ear-worm are
broken up and the pupae are either
crushed or perish from exposure to
the winter weather. Actual counts
have shown that ninety.nine out Of
every one hundred 'pupae are de-
stroyed by fall blowing. Thus by com
blning the fall blowing and early plant
ing, 1t is possible for the farmer to
reduce the corn ear-worm injury twen-
ty-iive to fifty per cent and at the
same time to increase his yield from
twelve to thirty bushels. In combat.

insect, cooperation means greater re-
suits. The more farmers in a com.
