AIRING. fattening Of stoc

" AIRTTNG, fattening Of stock and
hog raising are rapidly becoming
l. the chief industries of the FL
Paso valley. These industries are grow
ing IT such rate that the building OF
a modern creamery and packing plant
is but a matter Of a short time. in the
opinion of Sam B. Gillett, who owns
one OF the model farms of the valley
The proved success of the silo in the
valley viii be one of the principal fac
tors in making Of the valley stock
fattening center, Mr.. Gillett believes.
He is one Of the pioneers in silo build
ing in this section and has recently
completed two large cement silOs on his
ranch, located Il miles up the valley,
mile west Of CanutillO. These silos are
% feet high and Il feet across and have
a capacity Of 100 tons. The silos cost
about $3.50 each Feterita is used ex-
clusively in these silos. Mr.. Gillett says
the following canes are all excellent for
silos, their rating as material for en-
silage being in the order given: Indian
corn, kaffir corn. feterita and sugar
cane. All Of these can be grown sue
cessfully in the valley and form excel
lent combinations for feed
Peanuts for Hogs
Mr.. Gillett also believes that there is
q great field in the valley for the grow
ing Of peanuts for hog feed The soil is
adaptable to this culture and the feed
has been found an excellent one for
feed has been extensively tried in Ar
kansas and has proved very successful.
There is a herd Of DOrac Jersey hogs
on the Giuett ranch maintained for
breeding purposes They have been pur-
chased from various agricultural col
leges and from selected herds in west
Texas and Colorado Mr.. Gillett finds
that alfalfa, supplemented with little
grain, forms an aideal feed upon which

ROSE INSECTS

State College Bulletin Tells
How Insects May Be
Successfully Fought.

State College. y. NJ, June 25.-In pa
per on rose insects and diseases OF
roses. D. E Merrill, Of the State college,
says:
Rose scale 'diaspis rosae.' is one
OF the scale insects. The scale with
which it is covered is pure white and
very conspicuous. being nearly one
eighth Of an inch in diameter. Probably
the safest remedy for this insect on
roses in this region, where they do not
really become dormant, is the whale oil
soad solution Dissolve two pounds OF
the soap in one gallon Of water and
spray the plants. In the leaf this is
usually used at about one pound to four
gallons of water. The application may
have to be repeated. The nicotine sOlu-
tons are also used for this. BLACK Leaf
40" is a GOOD one It is good 10 kill
the young scales in summer with no
danger to the foliage. Its use should
be repeated every four or five days IN
til the scales are killed
LeafhOppers Are Troublesome.
'Leafhoppers are small, greenish
sucking insects that live on the under
side Of the leaves They suck the juice
out of the leaf through their little
beaks and such punctures viii show
yellow on the upper side of the leaves.
Little can be done for the adults. as
they hop about too lively But
the young, or numph, are Wingless
and they may be sprayed with the nicO-
tine solution very effectively.
gia rosea. one Of the sawflies OF the
order Hymenoptera. The slugs feed vo-
raciOusly on the leaves Of the rose.
They are tender when young and can
be killed by the use Of the nicotine So

get nearly grown they are more resist
ant and then d stomach poison is the
better for them. Lead arsenate is the
best and the powder is TO be preferred.
Use 1 IL pounds Of the powder to SO

day they are sold and a new COW is pur-
chased.
At this time of year there is always
an abundance of sweet milk In the val
ley. but during the winter the demand
far exceeds the supply At all times
hundreds of carloads of butter and eggs
are shipped TO FL PasO to supply the
demand, shipment being made from
points as far distant as Kansas City.
Mr.. Gillett believes that for a long time
TO come valley farmers viii find ready
market at good prices in FL PasO for all
of the dairy products they can produce
During the summer months the excess
sweet milk makes an excellent feed for
hogs
Chickens and turkeys are also a prof
liable adjunct Of the valley. ranch The
demand is always large and good grade
poultry demands good prices.
Cow and Hog always Pay.
The COW and the hog pays its way at
all times, Mr.. Gillett says and the ratio
Of profit is about three to one in put
ting alfalfa into stock compared to SELL
ing it Besides this there is always
market for the former while the market
for alfalfa is uncertain and subject to
rapid variations and often long periods
Of depression, as was the case for most
Of last season. Again the loss in plac-
ing alfalfa or other cane in a silO, to
be fed TO stock, is from to 10 percent,
while the waste and shrinkage in feed
ing dry is as high as 45 percent
Aid From Banks
Mr.. Gillett believes that the valley
farmer would, without exception, well
come assistance from the banks in Sc
curing high grade dairy stock. The Rio
Grande Valley Bank & Trust company
has already taken up this proposition,
delay having been caused by the cattle
quarantine. With each of the valley
farms supporting a few dairy COWS and
with a modern creamery established in
FL Paso, Mr.. Gillett believes that the FL
Paso valley will become the most pros
porous valley in the entire southwest
