Hereford Steers Made Daily Gain Of

A number Of experiment stations

AS an average of experiments by
four different stations. Hereford steers
made an average daily gain at the
age Of two years and eight months of

experiments, at an age of two years

of 1.5S pounds, and Galloway steers in

Almost Always Sown In Mixture With

The field pea is commonly grown
in Pennsylvania and New York for
hay, and the larger part of the crop
In the southern states is also used in
this manner. When grown for hay
the field pea is almost always sown
in a mixture with oats or some other
small grain. These mixtures with
grain will stand up much better, caus-
ing less trouble in the harvest, and
the presence of oats or barley in the
crop also causes it to cure more
quickly. The yield from mixture
OF oats and peas is usually larger
than that from timothy. The field
pea works into rotation very nicely,
because of the fact that when har-
vested for hay it is removed from the
field early in the year, thus allowing

HARM DONE BY PLUM BORERs
Observations Show That insect Pre-
fers Trees That Are in a Some
what Weakened Condition.

Observations made by an entomol.
ogist Of the department of agricul-
ture Of the American plum borer, show
that this insect prefers trees that are
in a somewhat weakened condition,
such as those partially girdled by the
disease commonly known as collar
blight or mechanically injured by
frost. Without injury of some sort
to its host plant the borer rarely sue
ceeds in establishing itself, and en-
tirely healthy trees are in little danger
from it's attacks.
Where q tree has suffered injurv
the work of this borer may, in many
cases, considerably shorten its life.
Beginning at some scar, wound, or
Crevice, where bark scale offers par
tfal protection, the larva works its
way back into the living tissues, in
broad, shallow, irregular galleries just
beneath the bark. 1t has been found
feeding upon plum, peach, cherry,
Chinese plum, Kieffer pear, mountain
ash, persimmons, apple. and Russian
mulberry.
The insect is known to occur in 21
different states as far separated as
the District of Columbia, Arizona, and
Washington. AS result of the obser-
vations made by the entomologist, the
conclusion is drawn that this borer
win never probably become a pest of
more than ordinary Importance, except
In occasional isolated cases.
When the ordinary precaution of cut.
ting away the dead bark and planting
the wounded areas is followed, this
may be regarded as sufficient for the
control of the borer. Where the borer
has established itself already, the cut
ting out method is the only one that
can be followed.
