alfalfa HOPPER A MENACE.

Growers Advised to Control tho Pest
BY Clearing FieIds Of Rubbish.
Complaints have been received by
n United States department of agr1-
culture from the alfalfa growing Sec
lions Of southern Virginia of serious
injury to alfalfa by an insect depreda-
tor which girdles the stems of the
plants. These injuries have proved to
be h work of the three cornered al
falfa hopper. THIS is a small, yellow
1sh green insect, which obtains its
o o by sucking the sap Of the plants
attacked and therefore cannot be poi
soned with arsenical sprays. 1t pun
lures the stems Of the affected plant
in such a manner as to cause girdl1ng,
thus d~eprving It Of n%ourishn6znt and
causing it to become yellow and die Off
above the girdled area.
The adult insects pass the winter in
a more or less dormant condition un
der punches Of wild grass, dead leaves,
brush, weeds, etc., in the latitude Of
southern Virginia, but may remain ac-
tive most of the winter in the extreme
southern portion of the affected terri
tory. The eggs are deposited in the
stems of the plants behind leaf sheaths
and sometimes at the surface of the
soil during the first warm days of
spring in southern Virginia, but as ear
ly as February in Arizona and south
ern California.
The life cycle from egg to adult oc-
cup1es, roughly speaking, from fifty to
sixty days. Thus in the latitude of
southern Virginia there are probably
TWO annual broods, but in southern
Arizona and California as many as
our broods may occur. The territory
mainly affected by the insect may be
roughly indicated as all that portion
OF the country south of latitude IS de-
grees, although the insect occurs
throughout almost the entire country
excepting the Rocky Mountains and
cascade range plateaus. 1t feeds upon
many plants, chiefly those of the bean
FAMILY, but is mainly injurious to al
falfa, clover and cowpeas.
The chief means Of controlling the
three cornered alfalfa hopper is by de-
stroying its alternating places. Thus
all punches of rye and other wild
grasses, weeds, brush, rubbish, etc., in
or about affected fields, in fence cor
ners. along ditch banks, should be
burned or otherwise destroyed during
the FALL or winter months after the
insects have ceased feeding and have
become dormant. Pasturing affected
fields where practicable has been found
beneficial. Harvesting affected alfalfa
Immediately after egg laying has &C.
CURED will also probably prove some
what effective.

LATE FALL

The late. fall blowing of land
intended to be seeded to oats
. next spring is in most instances
an excellent practice. If the land
is naturally heavy the exposure
to winter freezing and thawing
will do much to ameliorate it,
but the principal advantage to
be gained is in having the land
ready for seeding just as early
In the spring as frost and mois-
ture conditions will permit.
Usually oats sown early succeed
much better than those sown
later. There is almost always q
brief period in early spring
when oats can be sown If the
land Is ready, but If the blowing
has yet to be done the opportu-
nifty passes before both the plow-
Ing and the seeding are accom-
plished. 1t frequently is several
weeks before another opportuni-
ty for seeding occurs. This Is
the chief argument for the fall
blowing Of oat land.

more of such meat the better, for the
combination of bone and meat is ex-
cellent for producing eggs.
where a good supply Of fresh bone
can be obtained regularly it Is very
useful, but it cannot be kept sweet for
such long periods as the beef scraps
and animal meat. Green cut bone
should be fed carefully and in a sweet
condition, otherwise bowel trouble may
result. One pound a day is sufficient
H.,r twenty hens, but not than
lalf a pound should be fed to that
number Of birds when first beginning
to use it.
From a half to three-fourths Of a
pound of animal meal or meat scraps
may be fed to twelve or fifteen hens a
day. Any form Of meat is likely to
loosen the bowels Of the hen when
first fed. The hens should be watched
carefully and not fed too much. Aft
er the fowls have become accustomed
to the animal meat or meat scraps they
may be kept constantly before them.
when properly fed milk makes an
excellent feed for poultry. In feeding
sour milk or buttermilk, however, the
feeder must exercise care not to give
too much, or bowel trouble will result.
Skimmilk Is an economical feed. In
skimming the most valuable food con-
st~ituents-the heterogeneous substances
are left In the skimmilk. Not only
does this skimmilk contain much nu-
tritive material, but it contains it in a
form which, as a rule. is easily d.
gested.
'Skimmilk may be advantageously
substituted in part for meat feeds. 1t
may also be used in mixing the soft
feed or it may be given to the fowls
to drink in addition to water"

Get Seed Before Hard Frost.

Get seed BEFORE nara Frost
BE sure to gather your seed for next
years crop Of kafir and cane before the
first hard frost If you wish to obtain
the best results from the seed" says
G. e. Thompson, field superintendent
Of substations in the Kansas AgricuL
tural college.
The seed grown on your w or your
neighbours farm will prove the best, as
1t is adapted to your soil and climate,
he says.
The best way to harvest a seed crop,
according to MI. Thompson, is to go
into the field with a sack and a knife,
selecting the heads from the stalk be-
fore the sorghum Is in the shock. BY
using this method the farmer has a
chance to get his seed from the stalks
having the most value as forage. The
injurious effects Of the drought and
frost can often be avoided by selecting
seed from the heads that mature first
and thus obtaining a strain Of early
maturing kaflr or cane.
The heads used for seed should be Of
uniform type and Of good size. Care
should be taken to avoid hybrid heads
which are big and thrifty, but late I'm
maturing. Comparatively dense heads
will give heavier yields when thrash
ed. The seed viii prove more satisfac-
tory II 1t is taken from plants that are
grown under average conditions.
Thrashing is best done I'm the spring.
The seed can be stored In sacks I'm a
dry place. a good plan is to tie the
sacks to the rafters Of the granary or
barn with wires.
