Growth OF Extension Work.

An increase since che beginning
of the present calendar year from
approximately $500 to 15,455 in the
number of women in the South en-
rolled in home demonstration work,
carried ON under the auspices of the
department and State agricultural
colleges, is shown in figures for en-
rollment, June 80, 1916, just an
nounced by the Office of Extension
Work South. In the same period,
the number of girls enrolled in the
canning, poultry, and other agri-
cultural clubs carried on under the
supervision of the same office in
creased from approximately 42,50O
to 47,749.
The extension work among girls
and women was being carried on at
the end of the fiscal year in 420
counties in all of the Is Southern
States, through 42O county agents
and SO specialists. In addition,
North Carolina had 200 subagents
and Alabama 16 assistant county
agents, who devoted their time to
the extension activities. The larg-
est enrollmnt of the girl demenstra-
tors was in the canning clubs, which
had 32,965 members. IN the
poultry clubs 1925 girls are learn

STAMP OUT THE FLY

"Three things are necessary in wag.
ing q successful warfare against the
Hessian Fly. viz: thorough prepare
tion Of the soil, SO as to form the
best possible conditions for germina-
ton; heavy fertilization. If the soil
is not already in sood condition. 60
as to insure quick and rapid growth
and late sowing SO as to compel the
flies to go elsewhere to deposit their
eggs"
This extract from Bulletin 1914 OF
the Indiana Experiment Station con
tains in q nutshell the main condi
tions to be handled In the control OF
the pest. The Illinois Circular lac al
so makes q good point when it de
clares: "a vigorous wheat plant is
much better able to react against an
attack Of the Ay. especially by stool
ing freely or throwing out an abund
ance OF new shoots from the root
Whatever tends, consequently, to give
vigor to the plant reduces proportion
ally the percentage Of loss"
This leads to the conclusion that o
fertilizer containing at least Q per cen,
ammonia and at least 10 per cent
available phosphoric acid may be the
salvation Of the crop. and the expert
ence of many users bear this out

Bankers Aid Cattle Industry.

The part that banks can play in
promoting the local cattle industry
is illustrated by the action taken by
a group of southern bankers. A
few farmers in Gibson County, Tenn,
started movement looking toward
Investigation of crops by raising
less cotton and increasing the NUM-
Der and quality of cattle. The
movement was encouraged by the
beef-cattle extension agents of the
State college and the United States
Department of Agriculture. All the
banks in the county grew interested,
and as soon as the group was ready
to bring in car OF pure-bred cattle
the bankers agreed to lend up to
$4,000 to defray the coss.
|, Sixty-fve head, including bulls,
bred heifers, and cows with calves
at foot, were delivered in the county
all in good condition, at an average
cost of $3.50 per head, exclusive of
the calves. These were distributed
TO individual farmers, not more than
three head going to any farm. The
owners then either paid for the
cattle or gave longtime notes at re-
duced interest to the banks. One
bank acted as agent in the transac-
ton for all the banks IN the county
The bankers figured that by help
ing the farmers to buy large unm-
Der of .pure-bred cattle they not only
would get interest on safe loans but
would foster an industry the benefits
of which would be accumulative and
permanent in the locality. This is
borne out by frequent experiments
which have established that even a
few good bulls introduced in a
county soon have a marked influence
on the size and quality of all local
cattle.

How the Name Was Given

The common name. "Hessian

upon this insect by Americans,
