KEEP OUT PINK B0LLW0RM
Measures Adopted to Prevent impor-
tation Of Cotton Pest-FumIga-
tlon Probably Required.

The rules and regulations in regard
to the importation of foreign cotton
lint, which were discussed at a con-
ference in Washington, have now been
promulgated by the secretary OF agri-
culture. The regulations are substan-
TALLY those which were submitted for
the consideration of representative
cotton merchants and manufacturers
at the conference. The date when
they become effective, however, has
been changed from June 1, 1915, to July
/. 1915, and the regulation requiring
fumigation at the port of entry has
been omitted for the present.
The purpose Of these regulations is
to prevent the entry into the United
States Of the pink bollworm. which.
in those countries where it has gained
foothold, has proved to be one of
the most destructive Of cotton pests.
II is frequently found in the cotton
seed, and as some seed Is almost In
considered safe to permit unrestricted
importations of the latter. The new
regulations provide for the entry or
foreign cotton under permit, limit the
sale and delivery of such imported
cotton to mills which have obtained
license for its use, and require these
mills to adopt certain measures In or
der to obtain their licenses.
Fumigation Of cotton at the port Of
entry will probably be required. The
regulations on this subject, however.
have been omitted until the results Of
the extensive experiments now under
way to ascertain the effect Of fumiga-
ton are known.
In order to determine both the eff
cheney of the treatment as a means Of
killing the pink bollworm larvae as
well as the effect of the treatment up
on the lint itself, a committee Of cot
ton merchants and cotton manfactur-
ers have agreed to supply the depart
ment Of agriculture with some sixty
bales of Egyptian and other foreign
cottons. These will be fumigated in
Washington. and after fumigation the
bales will be submitted to various
mills for spinning and milling tests, in
comparison with cotton of a similar
grade which has not been fumigated.
The bureau Of plant industry, the bu-
reau Of chemistry, and the bureau of |
standards will also make a careful ex-
animation Of the fumigated cotton.
The fumigation is to be accomplished
by means Of hydrocyanic-acid gas in a
complete vacuum. Appara-
tus is now available for fumigating go

FARMER SHOULD KEEP BOOKS
Not Necessary to Keep Careful and
Exhaustive Record, but Some Kind
Of Accounting 10 Urgent.

Did you ever know a business mar
who ran a business without keeping
books? You probably never did, but
II Is certain that you know several
yes, scores of farmers who keep alb
solutely no kind of records, writes
Grady Thompson Of Oklahoma IN Farm
Progress. Farming is business in the
truest sense, and farmers should by
all means keep records of their crops
and expenses.
Much has been written on the keep
Ing Of farm accounts and how to keep
farm accounts, but after reading the
articles the average farmer will NOT
take the time and trouble to follow
the instructions. The methods advo.
Gated by many writer's are entirely too
complex and require too much time.
The method which any man living on
the farm will use is one that requires
but little time and one that Is simple.
No person after o day Of work cares
10 spend an hour or 30 In book work,
and unless the method used Is such
that only few minutes day Is need.
ed to keep accounts the person will
put It OF. and consequently part of
the record is forgotten or never done.
1t Is not necessary to keep such
careful and exhaustive record, but It
10 necessary that some form of &C
counting be used; the simpler the bet
ter. Every farmer should make an
inventory Of his farm. including live
stock. farm implements. and every
thing Of value on his farm. In short,
the inventory Is q statement of the
value OF the farm In dollars and cents.
Unless an inventory Ia kept no person
engaged In the farming business could
tell whether the farm has made money.
Many people object to farm accounts
on the basis that there are too many
estimates taken. Estimates must be
made In any line Of business, and
farming on the whole is not different
from any other business.
After making an inventory, an ex-
pense account should be kept showing
only the money expended and re-
ceived. This simple record will show
at the end Of the year how money has
been expended and what things have
brought in money. II farmer wishes
to keep any record of certain crops
they should be simple. Probably It
would not be advisable to keep a rec
ord Of each crop. but it might be a
good plan to keep record of one of
two crops each year, In addition to
keeping an expense account and in
ventory.
Some people might ask: What
good is all this work to bring me?
