STRAWBERRY LEAF
ROLLER DESTROYS CROP

The strawberry growers of South.
east Missouri are having a great deal
of trouble with a small caterpillar
that rolls or ties the two halves OF
strawberry leaves together and eats
them from within. In many patches
they are completely destroying the
crop and in other patches the injury is
greatly reducing the yield.
This pest can be controlled, accord
ing to L. Haseman of the Missouri
College of Agriculture, by spray OF
two pounds of lead arsenate mixed
with fifty gallons of water. To be eff
fective it must be applied as soon as
the small worms begin to appear and
before the leaves are folded. The
best time to spray is just before the
plants bloom as this destroys the first
brood which does most of the damage
to the crop. Spraying after the leav-
es are folded or during the picking
season does little good.
If this first brood of worms was
not killed by the spray, it is impor-
tant to spray late in June or early in
July to kill the second brood, and
again late in August when third
brood will appear unless the pest has
been killed before that time.
The pest may also be controlled by
moving the patch about the middle of
July and raking the leaves and burn
ing them as soon as they are dry
enough. Old patches which are not
to be used another year should be
plowed as soon as possible to kill the
leaf rollers and break up their winter
quarters.

EXPERIMENT STATION
INSPECTED


"The State of Missouri has every
reason for pride and satisfaction in
her Agricultural Experiment Station y
said E. w. Allen of the United States
Department of Agriculture at a Com
mercial luncheon during his recent in
spection visit to the Missouri Agricul-
tural Station. at is engaged in a
work of very great usefulness to the
farming industry and through it's in
vestigation is discovering many inn
portant and far-reaching facts which
It is applying in the development of
farm practice. 1t is an Inspiration
20 come to the station and to exam
inc its work in a great variety of
lines. Your State has shown its APP
probation and confidence by the gen
erous appropriations to supplement
the federal funds. The station and
the farm industry deserve tbs sup
port given it and splendid return is
made for it.
ut is especially fitting that this
should be one of the leading stations
Of the country because the measure
for the national system Of expert
ment stations was introduced in Con-
gress and passed in that body through
the efforts of Missourian-Hon.W Will
liam H. Hatch formerly of Hannibal,
1t would be fitting if the public sta
tue erected to his memory could bear
the greatest title he has earned
Father Of the American Agricultural
Experiment Station System"

Experiment Stations it is one of the
duties of DR.. Allen to inspect the ex-
pertinent stations of the various states
each year or have them inspected by
his assistants. The Hatch and Adams
funds appropriated by Congress for
the use of these stations are for GER
tain definite purposes and the ac-
counts must show that they have been
so spent before the United States
Treasury is authorized to pay them.
In addition to this personal inspec-
ton a written report Of the work done
is submitted by Director r. B. Num-
ford. After receiving the last Mis-
souri, report, DR.. Allen wrote Direc-
tor Mumford, at is one of the very
best reports we have received this
year.
ut is of special interest to the sta
ton as well as to us that this report
shall contain specific information re-
garding the chief lines Of work and
the most notable achievements of the
station during the year. These re-
quirements for what / consider a sat
isfactory annual report are fully met
by the report which you recently sub
mitted.
with regard to the work Of your
station as a whole | may say that the
Missouri Station stands, with a few
others, in the front rank of the sta
tons of the country. 1t would be a
mere matter Of personal opinion to
draw any finer distinctions"
In the annual report based by DR..
Allen upon the personal inspection
which he and his assistants make up
on the written reports which they Sc
cure, DR.. Allen says, "The Missouri
Station is conducting creditable
amount of high grade work and some
I'of its Investigations are conspicuous
ly thorough and original"

In addition this 1-2 of each plot will

There is some hog cholera in the

was prevalent shall not be duplicated

Owing to pressure of other du-
ties, did not submit report of the
Farm Bureau work for April, there
fore l shall endeavor to cover the
work of both April and May in this
report. Personally, l feel chat the
work accomplished during the past two
months has not been equaled in any
other two months since took up the
work in this county. The work for
the past two months has been very
diversified, touching upon so many
different things. 1t has also been COM
prehensive, so much of it having been
right to the point, being as it has
been actual accomplishment.
At the outset, I shall enumerate
some of the statistics of office detail
work. During April and May / have
made so farm visits. We have writ
ten 1877 letters. We have received
17S. We have had 160 Office callers,
and have had 154 telephone calls.
have attended 28 meetings, at which
the average attendance has been %.
The automobile mileage for the last
two months has been larger than any
other two months since being in the
county, and has aggregated total
Of 1890 miles.
The phenomenal increase in the
acreage of soybeans of 1915 over 1914
cannot be duplicated on a percentage
basis, but nevertheless there will be
large increase in the soybean acre
age over that Of last year. AS near
as | can estimate from the meager
information which I have at hand,
there will be at least 1900 acres of
soybeans planted this year. We have
mailed to the Department at Wash
ington, D. c., go applications for soy
bean incubation. We have ordered
through this Office between 200 and
$50 bushels of soybeans from other
counties in addition to the large

also be omitted from the formula by
degrees at the rate of a tablespoonful
month. One of the best indications
that the food is not suitable is the fail
ure on the part Of the baby to gain
weight.
Lime water is also used in milk
formulate. 1t may generally be added
to advantage when the baby shows
tendency to spit up the food, or if its
movements are too frequent and
green in color. 1t is usually added in
the proportion Of one-ffth of the
cream and SKINNED milk. The lime
water should replace an equal amount
Of boiled water, the milk remaining
the same.
