the other fertilizer in the loamy soil.

looked in canning is to see that the
cans are thoroughly clean. Simply
washing them in soap suds, rinsing
them and then when they are to be

not enough. Cans that have been
well washed should be put into pan

as well as cans, and brought to the
boiling point and boiled for few
minutes, then when used, carefully
handled, not to put the fingers inside
the cans or top. These may seem
fussy directions, but'to insure success
in keeping fruit the most scrupulous
care must be observed. The ruboers
themselves should be dipped quickly
into the hot water just before they are
put on to insure against any foreign
matter getting into the fruit.

BITTER ROT IN ORCHARDS
To Be Controlled, Must Be Fought
 With Bordeaux Mixture.

Bitter rot this year is proving seri4 ous in some orchards. It is the one disease of apples which must be fought hard from it's first appearance in the orchard if it is to be controlled at all. Even if there is only a tree or two showing the disease, steps should be taken at once to spray and to clean out the diseased fruit. It may be worth while to strip the affected tress entirely and take the fruit to the eYaporator rather than take any chance on leaving a small infee- tion to later become a rotten spot and help to spread the trouble.
 Bordeaux Mixture Spray.
 The spray mixture used for bitter rot is bordeaux mixture at a strength of 10-10-100. It's application to the fruit and twigs and limbs of the trees simply prevents the spread of the disease by preventing the growth oi germinating spores.
 Spraying will not pay where the bitter rot is not first removed from the trees, and if there is so much rot in the orchard that it cannot be re moved without taking all the fruit that portion of the orchard woul; best be stripped Lee Hewett fPlant Pathologist, Arkansas College o Agriculture, Fayetteville.

Pofsoned Bait.

Poisoned bait can be made as fol lows: Mix one hundred pounds of wheat bran with two to three pounds Of Paris green, and after the poison has been uniformly worked into the bran, work the matter into a thick dough with three to four gallons of molasses, to which has preyously been added the juice of six lemons or or anges. This material will then be ready to apply.
 Alfalfa fields which are infested should be immediately cut where this practice can be resorted to without injury to the plants. After the hay has been removed, one may apply poisoned bait, or else the worms may be killed by taking a number of folds of chicken wire, weighing this down with Q section harrow and dragging it over the infested field.
 Where fields are threatened by mi grating worms they should be sur rounded by deep furrow. Worms which fall into this furrow can be killed by dragging log back and forth as long as the migrating is talk ing pIace.-George J. Baker, Professor of Entomology, Arkansas College of Agriculture.

 VISIT THIS STATE:
Farmers Should Be Prepared to Meet Invasion by This Pest With Pois- oned Bait of Arsenate Of Lead.

Those of us who have had trouble in 1912 with the grass worm will take warning in the fact that this insect is busy this year in Texas and is very likely to work it's way northward The rayages of this insect are largely to be ayerted through intensive oulti- vation and the Use Of arsenate of lead and poisoned bait.
 The full grown grass worm or fall army worm, as it is often called, is about one and a half inches long. t is Of pale yeiIoWish brown or black color, being mottled and streaEod with yellow. On each side of the at- domen there is a broad waving band of yellow, mottIed more or less with reddish. On it's head there is 8 vel low inverted "Y. g
 Feeds on Corn and Sorghum.
 The grass worm is essentially a grass pest, feeding upon our various wild grasses and upon our tame grasses, including corn, sorghum, Johnson grass, Sudan grass, millets, etc. It is also very fond of alfalfa, and will feed upon cotton when grasses are not readily available.
 Particular care must be taken to keep the late corn and cane we'll cul- tivated It might be said in this con nection that many fields of corn were lost in 1912 on account of poor culti- yation. The worms will feed upon crab grass which is allowed to grow up in a field, and will later turn their attention to the main crop. Aside from this, the importance Of cuitiva- tion will become apparent when it is known that the worms enter the ground for the purpose Of transform ing to the pup@ stage. By cultivat- ing, fifty to ninety per cent of the worms in the ground can be killed thus preventing a heavy emergence O. moths which would otherwise deposit eggs for 6 larger generation.
 Use Arseaate of Lead.
 Where the worms have made their appearance in a corn field it is ad- visaBle to dust with arsenate of lead at the rate of three to five pounds per acre, the latter being mixed first with two or three times it's weight of cheap four The material is applied in the same way that cotton is dusted for the army worm.
 Where corn is to be used as fodder. dusting with arsenate of lead wo.sd be attended with danger. In such a.a event a poison bait can be scattered broadcast on the ground where the worms are at work. This might be applied at the rate of seven pounds per acre.
