bird d-houses had been erected. birds were plentiful. and the worms all though very numerous had done little serious injury. The corn showed no noticeable damage. This may have been due in part to the hundreds of heath hens on the reservation and in part to the number of small birds as well as to the intelligent use of non poisonous methods to check the pest. There was abundant evidence to be seen on all sides that the birds were Hooking to the defense of the fields The warden thought that he had lost part of his oat crop. but he made no other complaint.

inf1iction- Doubtless the number of
 the worms and the injury caused by them have been exaggerated, never
 the1ess great damage has been done
 in some localities in spite of all that
 could be done to check their ravages.
 A great quantity of poisoned bran was
 scattered about promiscu ousIy,t or sown in the trenches surrounding the
 fields, As a result, numerous army
 worms, many birds and some poultry
 were destroyed.
 Etornologists of the United States
 commended wholesale poisoning from
 time to time for cutworms and army
 worms. Others have followed them
 in this recomm endation and the news
 papers have published this means of
 defense far and wide. Nevertheless,
 this wholesale poisoning is unneces- sary in the case Of either army worms or cutworns as other rnethors may be used quite as effectively. Most state laws penaIize the aroadcasting of poi : soned baits. MT. F. Gilbert Pearson, Secreary of the National Association of Audubon Societies has already is- lsued a warning against the wholesale use Of poisoned bran and some of the newspapers have opposed it editorial Iy, but without avail.
 Nothing is more fully established than the fact that many birds from the domestic fowl down to the chip ping sparrow feed on the army worm While examining the recent invasion of these insects, found the following birds feeding quite constantly on them: the robin, b1uebird. catbird English sparrow, chipping sparrow, field sparrow, song sparrow, king bird, red-winged bIackbfrd bronze grackIe and cowbird. The brown thrasher, red-eyed towhee. flicker and several others were reported as feed : ing on the worms. These birds and
 the humble toad must have eaten
 great quantities, and in cases where birds were encouraged and where no
 poison was used, the results were
 plainly to be seen in the reduction of l the army worm pest.
 On my own farm at Wareham and l on some neighboring places where
 about 75 nesting boxes for birds were
 put up last spring, blue ebirds were seen feeding on the army worms early in
 May. Other birds followed suit. Nc injury from the army worm was no ticed during the season on my farm and very little on the others, but 20

POISON IVY.

Experiments in destroying poison ivy by means of chemicals have devel- #oped only limited field Of usefulness for this method. Applications of strong solutions of crude suIphuric acid or of crude carbo1ic acid have been found effective, but serious risks are encountered in handling these substances. In work undertaken by the Massa chusetts Experiment Station it was found that arsenate of soda could be used very sl1ccessfulIy to kill poison ivy on large trees over 6 to 10 Inches in diameter and on stone walls. buildings, etc. In open fields, how ever, this treatment proved expensive and injurious to other vegetation, rendering the 1aad useless for several years In these experiments two or three applications of arsenate of soda at the rate of 2 pounds to 10 gallons of water were generally sufficient. The preparation is poisonous and stock
 must be kept away from the poisoned plants. The cheapest and most eff fective method of eliminating poison ivy. seems to be the simple one of roofing up the plants and destroying them In large fields it may be nee. essary to blow and cultivate the land.
 The safest time for handling poi son ivy is in the fall, after the sap is out of the plants and after the plant has stopped towering. as the sap and pollen make the plant more likely to affect those who come in contact with it.. In any case, however, the following protective measures should be used by those atteInp pting to eradi- cate it. With the exercise of due care, the use of overa1ls and gaunt1eted gloves will enable most individuals tc deal with the plants with impunity. The further precaution of greasing the hands with lard, to be washed off with strongly alkaline soap on con- ! l1111 1Sia of a <3S 1nended. It may be possible to ern- pIoy some one to remove the plant who is not affected by it, since many individuals are practically immune from the effects of poison ivy In burning poison ivy care must be ta- ken to keep away from the smoke, as eases of serious injury to eyes, nose, and throat from the poison conveyed by this means have been reported
 The toxic properties of poison ivy are attributed to a nonvolatile oil which is found in all parts of the plant even after long drying. Minute amornts of this oil are capable oz causing extensive inflammation The oil is inso1uble in water but may be removed by alcohol or destroyed by a solution of sugar of lead and alco- hol AS a, preventive measure thor ough and repeated washing with warm water and strongly alkaline soap as soon as possible after contact with poison ivy is advisable, and it should be borne in mind that the poison may be transferred indirectly from cloth-

 Since ivy poisoning generally. sub sides within a few days the treat ment of mild cases is simple. There is, however. no one remedy that will cure all cases.

Spe- cialists of the department have found the following methods and formulas useful in many eases: At the out set, removal of the cause Of the 5rri- tation may be accomplished by cleans. ing the inflaned surface repaatefIy with alcohol, or with a saturated solu- ton of sugar of lead in alcohol, using a fresh bit Of lint or absorbent cotton each time, to avoid Spreading the ir- ritant. The sugar of lead solution cannot be used over extensive areas because of risk of lead poisoning Cow ering the inhamed parts with lint or moist with nuaewater or with a sat- urated solution of bfcarbonate Of so- de, will afford relief.

ing nodules on their roots, are
capable by using the nitrogen of
the atmosphere, of increasing
the nitrogen content of the soil.
This is a very important
point for arid sage brush land is
low in nitrogen. In addition to
this when plowed under these le-
gumes increase the vegetable
matter in the soil just the same
as do cereal crops. The legumes
used for green manure in this
county are red clover, hairy or
winter vetch and alfalfa.
Clover
Clover adds humus and nitro
gen to the soil and is easily
eradicated, but it is not a good
cover, crop for the localities in
Benton county compared with
Ivetch or alfalfa, for the follow
ing reasons: It requires con-
siderable more water than alfal-
ia and a great deal more than
vetch. It's roofing near the sur
face and requiring so much wat
er, necessitates keeping the sur
face soil too wet for the trees.
Orchards may be injured not
only temporarily, but perma-
nently in this way. Clover is
also easily crowded out by
grasses and other weeds. If it
is sown solid in peach orchards
and left for more than two years
in nearly every case the foliage
of the trees becomes yellowish
and the trees assume a sickly
appearance.
Furthermore, if clover is
worked into the soil by blowing
or discing, considerable expense
and work will have to be incur

sGREEN MANURE AND COVER
CROPS FOR BENTON COUNTY
County Agcultuast Lee Lampson Strongly Recommends Cover
Crops for Orchard-Vetch and Alfalfa are Better
Than Clover

The following discussion is
based upon a thorough farm-to-
farm study of the use of green
manure and cover crops in this
county. 1t represents the meth
dds worked out and the results
obtained by the most successful
and careful orchardists of the
county. The purpose of this ar
ticle is to get this information
into general use. The crops in
use at the present time may be
divided into two classes, viz
the cereal or small grain crop
and the legume.
The Cereal Crops
The cereals wheat, oats, bar
ley, rye, ETC., are not the best
crops to use as green manures in
orchards of this county. The
soil needs both humus and nj
trogen. These crops cannot
make use of the atmospheric nj
.trogen and when plowed under
or worked into the surface soil,
they add only vegetable matter
or humus, but no nitrogen. Cen
orally speaking they do not do
well on gravelly or sandy soil.
They also require the expense
and work Of reseeding each
year. While it is sometimes nee
essary to SOW rye in order to
keep sandy land from drifting,
the use Of this crop in this way
should only be considered as a
preparation for one of the more
permanent leguminous crops.
The Legumes
Leguminous crops when grow
ing under favorable conditions,
as they do here, that is, when
they have the nitrogen-gath-

nure and hay crop at the same
time, is to cut the first two crops
for feed then cut and disc the
next two into the ground. This
will add nitrogen and humus to
the soil rapidly and at the
same time furnish a good
supply of hay, thus saving con-
siderable expense where hay has
to be bought the year around.
The disadvantages of alfalfa
compared with vetch are that it
takes considerably more water,
and is harder to pillow up if it
should be desired to get rid of it.
This last is not an objection,
however, if it is done the right
way.

red each year in reseeding.
Hairy or Winter Vetch

Hairy or Winter Vetch
If the cover crop is planted
for a soil builder vetch is un-
questionably the best thing in
this county. It requires only a
comparatively small quantity of
water. It adds humus and nj
trogen to the soil in abundance.
By letting it stand until it is
ripe it will re-seed itself very
thick for the following year.
Where it is seeded thick the first
year, or after it begins to reseed
itself, it will practically shut the
weeds out. Where vetch is
heavy it will be necessary to cut
it up with very sharp disc in
order to pillow it under. If it is
desired to get rid of the stand of
'vetch, this discing and blowing
should be done in the spring be-
fore the seeds form. If it is de-
sired to continue the crop year
latter year, it should be left
standing until at least a part of
the seed is ripe before it is disc
ed and plowed under. Or if the
supply Of water is apt to be linn
tied, the vetch can be allowed to
stand through the entire season.
In this case, the mat of dry
vetch during the middle and lat
ter part of the summer will
shade the ground and greatly
lessen the amount Of water re-
quired for the trees at that sea-
son Of the year.
Vetch should be sown in the
latter part of the summer or
early fall. IF a thick stand is de-
sired the first year, twenty five
to thirty pounds per acre will be
necessary.
Alfalfa
If it is desired to raise some
hay and at the same time build
up the soil, alfalfa is better than
vetch, because it will add humus
and nitrogen to the soil and is
considerably better feed. The
alfalfa should not be taken from
among the trees for hay, how
ever, unless it is to be fed to live
stock and the manure returned
to the soil. One of the best ways
to handle alfalfa as a green ma
