Mixture Kills Cutworms.

Cut worms are likely to give trou-
Bile on sod land. The moths prefer
&c lay eggs on grass, and for this rea-
son the larvae resulting from those
eggs are always more numerous on
at night. The gardener usually sees
the results of their work in the morn
ing when he finds his plants cut off
land that has been occupied by grass.
The worms do most of their feeding
near the ground.
According to J. r. Watson, entorn-
ologist to the University of Florida
Experiment Station, the best method
of eliminating cutworms is to poison
them. The Kansas Mixture has prov

worms come out. If the days are hot
and dry the bait should be renewed
every afternoon, but if they are
cloudy the bait will last several days
unless it is washed by rains.
If cutworms are suspected on
freshly plowed land it would be well
to poison them before the plants are
set. Cabbage, collards, or radishes
dipped in strong solution of some
arsenic compound will attract and
kill the worms before they have a
chance to eat the young plants.
If the plot of land is not large
enough to justify the foregoing rec
concentrations, the insects may be
collected by hand. They will usually
be found in the top inch or two of
soil near the freshly cut plant.

the markets readily and ships when
competing products are scarcely
planted. 1t must be conceded that the
earning power of land, under such
conditions, is to be rated high. The
farm lands of Florida can be depend
ed on to enable the owners to meet
readily any financial obligation they
might reasonably assume in the form
of mortgage loans. That is the test.
As in commerce and industry the de-
velopnent in productive agriculture
is dependent upon sufficient and eff
cient credit. This farm loan system
is intended to meet that need.

Five Counties Will Have Pig Club
Contests.

The pig club work is developing
rapidly and fifteen counties are rep
resented in the membership. Only
five of these counties, Marion, Hills
boro, fernando, Suwannee and Duval
are prepared to hold contests this
year, according to G. L. Harrington,
boys club agent for the University of
Florida Extension Division. The pig
club work is new in Florida, since it
was started only about year ago. 1t
Is probable that more members could
have been enrolled if just any kind
of pigs had been admitted. The aim
has been to encourage the production
of pure bred animals and to see that
each member had enough feed and
proper facilities for raising the pig.
Pigs will be given as prizes in most
of the corn clubs this wear and the
boys will thus work into the pig clubs
automatically. Five breeds are rep
resented among pig club members:
Berkshires, Poland Chinas, Duroc-
Jel seys, Hampshires and Tawporths.
AS a rule it is immaterial which
breed is raised since they have all
proved desirable under certain condi-
tons. An effort will be made, how
ever, to make the breed in each coun-
ty uniform as it is in Marion. The
advantages of one breed are obvious.
The standard by which the pigs
viii be judged in the contests this
year is as follows: The best hog
with respect to the purpose which it
is to serve will be scored at 40. The
greatest daily gain will receive Is
points; the cheapest production, %
points; the best record of feed, pro-
gress and care, 20 points.

fernando Pig Contests.

Claude Brown won the pig club
prize in fernando county. He exhib-
tied brood sow 200 days old that
weighed $40 pounds. That is more
than a pound of gain a day. The cost
of gain was about cents a pound.
The market value of the animal was
about cents pound. That is clear
profit of 5 cents. Just wait a mo-
ment. You could not buy that pig
for cents a pound. She is good
type purebred Duroc-Jersey brood
sow and her owner would scorn any
offer under $500. Of course the ulti-
mate purpose of pig raising is to sup
ply the market, but this boy intends
to establish herd before he tries to
supply the market. Twenty-four boys
reported in the pig club.
Thirty-seven boys completed the
corn club work. Louis Lee of Brooks
vile won the county prize with 1905
bushels. That is practically the same
weld with which William Fulton won
the first place in that county last
year. Louis Lees production cost was
81 cents bushel. The average yield
of the club was almost so busels and
the average cost was 33 cents BUSH

fernando county to the short course

Sodium Cyanide Solution Rids Seed
beds of Ants


Small seeds such as lettuce FREE
quently fail to give good termination
when there is apparently no reason
for it. If the seeds are alive and if
there is plenty of moisture and
warmth they should give good
stand. When these conditions are
fulfilled and termination is poor it
is probable that ants are causing the
trouble. They are fond of small
seeds and will carry practically the
whole planting to their nests if they
are left unmolested.
J. r. Watson, entomologist to the
University of Florida Experiment
Station, suggests that the nests be
treated with a solution OF sodium cya-
hide. One ounce of he poison to a
quart of water viii make solution
strong enough. Punch hole IN the
main entrance Of the nest from six
inches to foot desa.S Pour about an
ounce of the solution into the hole
and close it Immediately by tramping
the soil. The solution will evaporate
and the fumes liberated will kill the
ants. If all the ants are not killed the
survivors will probably start another
nest nearby. This can be given the
same treatment.
The cyanide solution is extremely
poisonous and should be guarded
strictly. If any is left after the ant
nests have been treated it should be
covered tightly and placed where no
person will get it through mistake.
Carbon bisulfide is sometimes used
for killing the ants but it is not SO
effective as the sodium cyanide.

WELD. COST OF PRODUCTION

Most of the peanut oil beng manu-
featured in the United States at the
present time is sold in competition
with and at the same price as crude
cottonseed oil. Because of the pres
ent high price of cottonseed oil it is
possible to make peanut oil and sell
it at the price of The former. If,
however, the price of cottonseed oil
returns to the level of the past five
years and the cost of producing pea
nut oil remains at the current level,
peanut oil could not compete with it
at the lower price.
Price Needed
A bushel of good farmers stock
Spanish peanuts will yield about 1 1-8
to / Ia gallons of oil, and this would
have to sell for 60 cents gallon to
make a profit when 70 cents a bushel
is paid for peanuts. Farmers will not
grow peanuts for market unless they
feel reasonably sure that they will
receive at least 20 cents per bushel,
and at this price oil mills would have
to put high-grade oil on the mar
ket to make a profit under conditions
when the competing product, cotton
seed oil, sells at a lower level than
at present. In other words, oil mills
could not afford to pay 70 cents per
bushel for peanuts to make an oil
which would sell for 40 to 45 cents a
gallon, which price, in. recent years
under more normal market condition.
is considered high for cottonseed oil.
Figure on the Future.
Before going into the production OF
peanuts for oil purposes, farmers
shotld take into consideration the alb
normal conditions prevailing at the
present time (1916). Owners of oil
mills are Offering a price for peanuts
that would justify farmers in grow

is quite low, as good peanut hay has
practically the same feeding value as

Experiments have shown that one

will yield about 600 pounds of dirt,
hulls and trash, 600 pounds $50 gall

of cake. The value of this oil will de-
pend on its quality and upon the price
of other oils. On the basis of 80
gallons of oil per ton of farmers
stock Spanish peanuts, this oil would
have to sell for an average price of
go to IS cents gallon in order to
justify paying 70 cents per bushel for

Many of the mills now manufac-
turing peanut oil are securing only
so to IS gallons of oil from ton of
Spanish peanuts. The low yield Of
oil is to be accounted for by the low
| grade of nuts used by not Smelling
the nuts before expressing the oil and
by the high percentage of oil left in
the cake. With a yield of 65 gallons
| of oil, at the same price of 60 cents
! per gallon, the return per ton for oil
and meal would be S50.25. There
would be a difference between the
cost and sale price of $3.50, which
would not cover the cost of manufac-
ture and distribution. As a matter
of fact, peanuts crushed without sell
ing return 1900 to 1850 pounds of
meal, instead of $50 pounds as from
the shelled nuts. 1t should be noted
moreover, that meal made from I'M
shelled nuts is much lower IN protein

The yield of this field was sixty
bushels of nuts and one ton of hay

bushel and the hay for $12 ton,
making gross return of $72 an acre.

Yields of rs to 100 bushels to the
acre are not uncommon, and there are
records of even higher yields.
The cost of growing an acre of
peanuts varies considerably, depend
ing upon the quantity of fertilizer
used and the yield secured. The aver
age cost is about $40 to SIS for a
yield of 40 bushels per acre. The cost
of production up to the harvest time
