A Worm Beat Us.

Though Oregon is certain to capture
many gold medals ON fresh fruit en-
tries, the Grand Sweepstakes on apples
has gotten away from us. just because
a measly little worm, probably not in
the apple when it started from the
Oregon orchard, showed up about n
quarter Of an inch in the calix end Of
a Newton Pippin when the jury cut it
open, Washington, that state made
famous by Seattle rather than apples,
captured the sweepstakes on Winesaps.
In other words, Okanogan, think Of it,
Okanogan county, had on display the
best fivebox exhibit at the big apple
show. Everything was sailing along
gloriously for the Oregon Fruit and
up to the time that dinky little worm
let put in his dastardly appearance,
Oregon apples had scored ninety-nine
points. Oregon apples looked better
than the best--they had the proper
color, the size was uniform, there was
no blemish apparent, the bulge was
exactly so, and the pack from all view
points was nothing less than champion

SERIOUS PEST.
Fink Corn Worm Appears High
Life" Destroys 1t.

That the small pink worm that
was such a serious pest to corn
in Mississippi last year has again
made its appearance In number
of counties in the state, is the
information now being received
by R. W. Harmed, of the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College.
TO rid their cribs of these in.
sects, and prevent damage to the
grain" said Mr.. Harmed, farm
ers can treat the infested corn
with carbon bisulphide.
According to the report now
coming in." he said. this pest
is beginning its attack fully a
month earlier than it did last
year. This insect ha S been
known to entomologists for many
years but was not thought to be
pest. In former years it was
known to feed only on stale corn,
rotton cotton bolls, and other
partially decayed vegetable mat
ter. About a year ago, however,
many farmers began finding
these worms in their corn. both
in the fields and in the cribs.
The fact that they are again
damaging corn would seem to in.
dicate that the worms have chang
ed their food habits and may pos
sibly become permanent pests of
corn.
"The College is anxious to learn
how generally these pink worms
are distributed over the state.
Reports have already been re-
ceiyed flom eight counties.
Farmers in all sections of the
state are urged to send samples
of any of their corn injured by
these worms to the Entomologist,
Agricultural College, Mississit pi.
The standard remedy for these
insects is carbon bisulphine or
high life," The College Ex-
pertinent Station will send a cir
cular regarding the use of this
substance to all who write for

Intensive Wheat Growing.

Seven years ago, says Pear
sons Weekly, a Russian farmer
discovered a method Of increas-
ing the yield of wheat in so start
ling a manner that no one be-
lieved he was telling the truth.
The Russian declared that it was
possible to get seventy pounds of
grain from one seed, and to make
an acre carry forty-fve tons.
That does sound like miracle,
and The Companion does not
vouch for it; but here is the
method, and if any farmer has
the patience to try it, he will Ger
tainly be surprised at the result.
Each grain is planted separate
ly in sunken bed about fifteen
inches deep and three and a half
feet1n width-feet, remember,
not inches.
AS soon as the grain sprouts,
the little blade is covered with a
thin layer of earth about an inch
and a half in depth. The result
is that you get three stalks in
stead of one. At the end of
three weeks the hoe comes into
use again. At the end of three
weeks the Zoe comes into use
again, and the three stalks being
covered with earth, turn into
nine stalks. This process on be-
ing repeated a third time results
in twenty-seven stalks, and the
Russian is question repeated it
ten times in all, so that at last
each grain produced SO, 049 stalks.
If the seed is first sown in the
ordinary fashion, and then trans
planted to the pit before men
toned. you get an even stronger
growth, so that, after only eight
coverings, more than los. 900
stalks have been produced from
a single grain. Youths Com
