Poison Bait for Slugs.

The garden slug. Shiny, slow-moving
and repulsive creature that attacks all
manner of garden and ornamental plants,
is readily controlled by the use of a poi
son bait, says A. l.. Lovett, specialist in
insect crop pests at the Oregon Agricul-
tural College. To be most effective the
material should be placed in small heaps
about the infested area early in the even
ing. Tie treatment should be repeated
about every five days to take care Of the
newly Matched slugs.
The most effective bait Is finely
chopped leaves Of some green succulent
feed, such as lettuce, kale, wild mustard
or clover, with the addition of arsenic
and some s%weetening agent. The follow
ing formula is good for small amounts:
Green succulent leaves Chopped fine
Ivy, one quart; Paris green or white
arsenic, one tablespoonful; sugar one
tablespoonful.
Bran may be used instead Of the leaves,
but water must be added sufficient to
make the mixture moist, not sloppy.
Slugs may also be trapped under boards
or pieces Of burlap placed about the field.
The traps should be visited in the early
morning, when the slugs may be removed
and destroyed.

Advantages and Ills
of HOgging Off Corn
BY G. r. SAMSON,
Swine Specialist, 0. A. c

SWINE specialist, u. A. u.
IN considering the possibilities Of hog
1 ging off corn, a sufficient amount of
thought has not been given to the finish
ing process. Hogging off corn is a COM
promise between pasturing and lot feed
ing; hence the features which are incident
to pasture are present to this sort Of
feeding, both the advantages and the dis
advantages.
The advantages, of course, are the facts
that the pigs harvest the feed themselves
and that they C a good deal of sue
culence at a comparatively cheap price;
moreover, they secure a good deal Of nu-
TRENT at a low cost. The disadvantages
are that they consume a considerable
amount Of crude fiber or coarse material
which takes up space in their stomachs
and which cannot, therefore, be occupied
by better feed. Consequently the high
finish is not secured by subjecting the
pigs which have hogged off a crop to a
period of finishing during which time
they can be fed but little pasture or
roughage and should have a maximum of
a balanced ration of pretty concentrated
material.
The length Of time which will be re-
QulTeu IOT LlulSnIlE Will ucpcuu upDu tuc
size of the pigs and upon the weight
they have ed before hogging
off the crop. The eye Of the feeder Is
the only guide in this case. The pigs
must be smooth and plump when finished
and a sufficient amount Of time and a
sufficient quantity of feed must be used
to secure this result, be it two weeks or
longer. Ordinarily the finishing process
cannot be completed in much short of two
weeks and 1t may take a considerably
longer time.
Since the pigs have been practically on
full feed during the hogging off Of the
crop they may be easily put onto a self
feeder for their finishing process. The
ration at this time may we'll consist Of a
ration of grain balanced with tankage or
skim milk, according to what is available.
II tankage is used, 5 per cent will be a
sufficient quantity. or II skim milk Is
used, two pounds of skim milk to each
pound of grain consumed will just about
produce the balance. AS to the kind of
grain which is best suited for the finish
ing process, this will depend upon what
is cheapest In the locality, since the rela-
tive values Of corn, wheat and barley for
fattening pigs are not very different.
Whichever feed will produce the greatest
amount of grain for each dollar expended
on each acre of land may be considered
the best feed to raise for the feeding Of
the pigs.

Early Spray Recommended for
Currant and GO0seberry Worm

THERE are two insect pests which at
i tack the currant and gooseberry. One
occurs as q small white maggot inside
the developing fruit, causing 1t, to ripen
prematurely and drop to the ground. The
pest is known as the currant maggot or
the gooseberry fruit fly. The other pest
Is a velvety green worm which feeds ON
the leaves stripping the foliage from the
bushes about the time the fruit is ma
turing. This pest is known as the native
currant worm.
Sprays are not generally effective in
controlling the currant maggot. Stir the
soil thoroughly to some depth about the
bushes in the Fall and again in late
March.
For the green currant worm spray the
bushes with q lead arsenate solution u.s.
ing one ounce Of lead a~rsenate to three
gallons of water. This spray to do the
most good must be applied just after the
fruit is set on the bushes. II one does
not apply this early spray, the worms may
be killed when the fruit is large by q
spray Of white hellebore powder one ounce
in three gallons of water. This material
is non-poisonOus and does not discolor the
fruit. The early spray Is to be recon-
mended, however.

favorable notice at the Panama-Pacific
Exposition. His onions, cantaloupes, po-

Mr.. Sherman has been a faithful attend
ant at Oregon Agricultural College short
courses until he is familiar not only with
the processes Of scientific production but
also with the principles Of selection and
arrangement of displays. He began gar
dening about nine years ago with a capital
Of $40, and within five years had paid for
his 10 acres that had been brought into
production. Although out Of health when
he began he Is rugged now and has sup

Potato Seed Treatment Is
Cheap Insurance for Crop

81 IN TAXING up the mater OF Seeu treat
i ment for disease control, several
questions present themselves for consid-
eration," according to F. D. Bailey, re-
search assistant in plant pathology, Ore
gon Agricultural College. This being the
time when many growers are especially
interested the following recommendations
are submitted in answer to queries that
are constantly recurring:
Diseases that can be controlled entire
ly or largely by proper treating and in
spectlon of seed at cutting are, common
scab, rhizoctonia, blackleg and the two
fungus willis. This, of course, with the
understanding that the soil to be used has
not produced crops with any of these dis
eases in recent years and has had no other
chance to become disease.
"Tubers that are bruised, cracked or
discolored, or show a brown ring when
the stem Is cut across should be sorted
out and discarded from the seed. In case
scab is the principal trouble for which
seed Is to be treated, it will be quite sat
isfactory to use the formaldehyde treat
ment:
One pint formalin in 80 gallons water,
soaking seed with sacks or crates for two
hours, and then drying seed thoroughly.
This should preferably be done immedi-
ately before planting; however, If it Is
desirable to start sprouts before planting
1t will be necessary to give the treatment
somewhat earlier. Care should be taken
not to reinfect the tubers by placing them
back in the same storage place unless it,
too, is disinfected. In any case, at the
present state of experimental evidences it
is advisable to treat before cutting.
"a substance that is more satisfactory
than formalin in that it is effective
against rhizOctonia as well as scab is mer-
curic chloride Corrosive sublimate). This
poisonous substance may be secured in
the form Of white crystals from the large
drug companies, the smaller stores gener-
ally carrying it only in tablet form. This
should be used in / to 1000 dilution or
about four ounces in 80 gallons of water
where the crystals are used. If the tab
lets are used the directions should be fol-
lowed.
"In making this up for use the amount
to be used should be carefully weighed
out and dissolved In a small quantity Of
hot water. This must be done in a clean
wooden or porcelain container and after
diluting it must be handled in the same
way, since it reacts with metals. The treat
ment from this point is the same as with
formaldehyde, except that tubers should
be soaked one and one-half hours. It
should also be borne In mind that this
substance is poisonous so should be kept
away from small children or stock.
Either solution may be used several
times (not to exceed four). The formal
dehyde loses strength on standing and the
mercuric chloride gradually deteriorates
when it becomes dirty. A gas treatment
with formalin may be used where large
quantities Of potatoes are to be treated
but requires special precautions, details OF
which will be furnished parties interested
on application to the department of plant
pathology at Oregon Agricultural Col
lege."
