HARM APPLES
Many 0rchardiSts Who Fail to
Guard Against Pests.
In Many Cases There Is No Excuse
for inferior Fruit Except Neglect
OF Persons TO Garry Out Plans
Of Spraying.
(By e. p. TAYLoR.)

There are comparatively few or
chardists at the present time who
doubt the value of spraying apples
for the curculio and the codling
moth. On the other hand, there are
many who are. in reality. not protect
ing their orchards from these two car
dinal apple pests as much as is posi-
BILE or, indeed, practicable.
It is unnecessary to go into de-
tail in explaining all the reasons why
fruit, stung from the codling moth
or stung and deformed by the curculio,
is permitted. Suffice to say that in
many cases there is no reasonable ex-
cuse, except the failure of persons to
carry out plans of spraying which are
already well known to be effective.
There is a strong tendency, how
ever, noted recently among many
fruit growers to do more careful and
intelligent spraying so that higher
percentage Of first.class apples may
be produced. A few years OF par
tial fruit failures from adverse and
uncomfortable weather conditions
makes 1t even more necessary that in
the other years we save our crops

SELECTING GOOD DAIRY cow
Professor Hacker Makes Interesting
Statement Before Eastern conven-
tion-some Good Records.

Here Is q statement made by Prof.
T. l. Hacker at an eastern con-
vention that win bear re-reading: Il
am going to tell you how to know
a good COW. It's a simple matter.
One or two signs tell a good COW,
as well as twenty. In a poor cow
the thigh runs down straight, so
there is no place between the thigh
and the udder on one side and the tail
on the other. There should be plenty
Of daylight bstween the udder and
the tail. One of the best ways to tell
what kind Of COW you have Is by
her temperament. A good dairy type
has sharp spine. strongly developed
nervous system and sharp hip bones.
A good COW has large wedge shaped
stomach, for she must have large
and powerful digestive system to use
up her food quickly, and make the
best returns for It. Some Of the ami
mails the first year made but little
over 200 pounds per COW, while 9TH
ers gave over sss pounds. We have
kept this record every year and the
last year our cows averaged 500
pounds per COW. and ct cost Of only
az cents per pound Of butter for feed.
One COW gave Us sig pounds during
the year. These were not r'cked.

Cooling Moth on Apple.

from destruction by insects-an ac-
compiishment quite within our power.
Among the many insects damaging
the apple crop there are two which
stand out prominently as the most
destructive. These are the curculio,
the old offender commonly known as
the plum curculio. and the well.
known codling moth. The damage
done to apples alone in the state of
Missouri by these two insects In a
year when an average crop is borne
runs into millions Of dollars.
In controlling these and other in
sects, apple growers should apply
their arsenical sprays at times when
they will be of the greatest possible
service. There is limit to the num-
Der of sprays which can be profitably
applied, especially since in many cases
1t is also necessary to give separate
spraying fungicides at times when
an insecticide ia required, or vice
versa.
Spraying Is the chief method Of
control of curculio and codling moth
in apple orchards, but there are a
number OF other natural or artificial
checks against both insects which de-
serve mention.
Banding Of the trees to capture the
descending worms of codling moths
as they search for place for pupa-
ton was q practice even before
spraying for codling moth was begun.
Il has been shown that they will
sometimes capture as high as 40 per
cent Of the worms upon the tree, but
1t cannot be considered practical OPP
Grafton when such far better results
can be accomplished by spraying.
When bands are used they must be
looked after every ten days and the
worms destroyed. to prevent the
moth from maturing and making its
escape. II this is not done they viii
only offer safer hiding places and do
more harm than good. They are
sometimes useful In trapping the nrst
emerging worms in the summer In or
der to forecast the date Of appear
ance OF second generation worms.
Cultivation Of orchards is one of the
best Of procedures for curculio de-
struction. It keeps the orchard free
from many Of the desirable hiberna-
ton places for the adult and II un-
questionably destroys high per cent
of the insects In the ground.
There are many useful natural In
sect parasites and other enemies Of
both curculio and cooling moth which
attack them in practically all their
stages and assist very materially in
preventing the damage from them be-
ing far greater than 1t is.

STORE SEED CORN PROPERLY
Three Things to Remember-pry
Place, Fairly Low Temperature
and Well Ventilated Room.
(By H. C. HAcKLEMAN. Missouri Col
lege OF Agriculture)

(By H. C. HAcKLEMAN. Missouri Col
lege OF Agriculture)
In storing seed corn three things
should be kept in mind, according to
J. G. Hackleman of the Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture. They are Cd
dry room or building, (2) fairly low.
even temperature without hard
freezes, and go well ventilated room
from which moisture from the sweat
ing grain may easily escape. Seed
corn may be injured If stored above
sweating grain from which it receives
moisture.
These essentials are most perfectly
secured by proper storage in an at
tic, as careful tests have shown that
better results were obtained from such
storage than from any other Cellars
In which there are furnaces are ex-
cellent; others are likely to be too
damp. II 1t is impossible to use any
of the house in this way, suitable
places can probably be found in tool
sheds or other farm buildings.
A frame of two by tours may be
built from two to six feet square and
strongly braced. II chicken netting is
then stretched over both the sides in
such a way that the holes match, the
ears may be thrust through and stored
very cheaply. They may be swung
from the roof In strings, held by baling
wire or binding twine, or may be
stuck on nails driven into an upright
four by four post from which the cor
ners have been trimmed so as to
make room for eight rows OF nails
instead of only four. Mice may be
kept from this seed corn tree by nall
ing tin around the bottom Just above
the base or by inserting hook in the
top by means of which the tree with
its load may be hung with wire from
the roof.
A study of your own conditions will
perhaps show you better methods than
any of these which will meet the re
quirements Of good storage.
