PROTECT YOURSELF IN BUYING
CRIMSON GLOVER SEED.
c. P. SMITH,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Last year several farmers made the
mistake of buying seed of crimson
clover that was not properly tagged
as to Misunderstanding the gerlnin-
alton test entirely, or without the date
when the test was made. Were you
one of them? Every lot of a bushel or
more Go pounds after October 1sD
should be labeled to show as much
information as: Termination 80 per
cent, tested June, 1916"
One lot of seed sampled last sum
mer by the seed inspector was tagged
So per cent -germination-no date
given. The sample was secured Au-
gust u and our test of a month later,
about as soon as the lot could have
been planted in the field and there
judged, showed a termination value OF
1924 per cent; a December test later,
241a per cent.
The prospect for crimson (scarlet)
clover seed for 1915 is very poor: linn
tied supplies and CORRESPONDENCE high
prices, some low purities and especi.
any IOW SClLllLdIAOil IL YOU M 1 > L
have crimson clover seed regardless
of cost and quality do not risk buying
seed that is offered you without the
termination as shown by a RECENT
test. April, May, or June, 1916.
If the termination is given as so per
cent, SOW twice as thick as you usu,
ally do; if rs per cent, SOW fully four
times as thick as with good seed.
If you desire a more recent or con
frmatiye test, send fair sample di.
rect to the State Seed Laboratory, Col,
lege Park. While the complete labora.
tory test takes four days, the second
day or first count is commonly suffi.
cient to judge the general germinative
value of the stock. When requested,
the report will be based upon this first
count. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE
PLANTING.

Seed Potato Growers
Fora Important Organization
With Other Business Men To
Promote A New Industry.

On Friday, April 14th, there was or
gained at Frostburg, Maryland, The
Western Maryland Seed Potato Grow
ers' Association. The object of the
organization is to promote the grow
ing and marketing of seed potatoes
grown under such conditions of alti
tude and climate as make the seed as
well suited TO the requirements OF
Maryland and Virginia potato growers
as is seed grown in Maine, Michigan
or other higher attitudes.
The final organization of this asso-
citation, which will be incorporated I'M
der the laws of Maryland, represents
the elimination of the efforts of a
number of banks and business men of
Allegheny county, aided by Mr.. John
McGill, Jr, county agent for ALE
gheny county, and Professors Temple
and Bomberger, of the State College
Of Agriculture.
The bankers and business men fl
nanced the project by procuring a car
load of the best Maine seed potatoes
lOI Ills u IDullOu dllOLlS IllC ldl MEL VI
Allegheny and Garrett counties. Mr..
McGill and Professor Temple super
intended the growing Of last years
crop, which is to serve as seed for
this years planting. Professor Bonn
berger prepared the plans for the in
corporation and management of the
organization Of the growers. In the
final steps of the organization valuable
service was rendered by Mr.. c. e. Bias
sett and o. B. Jessness, of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
On Friday the 18th instant, about
thirty seed potato growers of Western
Maryland met and adopted a constitu-
ton and bylaws, elected officers and
directors and outlined the work for the
current season.
This organization represents the de-
yelopment of a new business for Mary
land. Heretofore Maryland potato
growers have depended upon northern
grown potatoes for seed. II has been
demonstrated by the Experiment sta
ton that seed grown at the high alti-
tudes prevailing in the mountain
region OF Western Maryland are fully
equal to northern grown seed. 1t re-
manned for the farmers Of that region
to undertake the growing of seed I'M
der proper regulations for guarantee
ing a standard product free from dis
ease in order to establish the business
upon sound commercial basis. The
organization effected will do this; and,
as the business expands, the potato
growers Of Maryland will not be com
PEELED to send outside the State for
standard seed, In time the seed po-
tato industry OF Western Maryland
should assume large proportions and
hundreds of thousands should be saved
to the potato growers Of the State,
Already the farmers Of Garrett county
are preparing to follow the example Of
their Allegheny county neighbors. The
organization formed contemplates the
utilization of all the seed potato grow
ers of Western Maryland with the as
ISOLATION formed at Frostburg.

Gardens.-Keep up a succession OF
garden crops. Continue to plant beans,
tomatoes and sweet corn. Tomatoes
should be staked and pruned. The
shoots appearing in the axis of the
leaves should be removed as rapidly
as they appear All garden crops
should be cultivated often and shallow.
Horse cultivation is best If this is
not practicable, wheel hoes should be
secured. A small outlay in good gar
den tools saves time and labor.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1917-01-04

Pastures.-Pastures should be care
fully looked after. Keep them free of
bushes, briars and weeds. If the water
supply in the pasture runs low, see
that all animals are properly provided
for. Every permanent pasture should
have ample shade for the live stock
If there is not sufficient number Of
threes, temporary sheds should be
made.
Farm Animals.-Guard carefully the
health of the hogs and poultry. If hog
cholera breaks out in the community
get in touch with the College Of Agri
culture at College Park, Md, and pre-
pare to inoculate against the disease
Prompt action is necessary IN such
cases.

period is in March
About the only trees that are de-
foliated by the canker worm are the
white elm and the apple tree IN
some cases it will attack the red elm,
honey locust and the maple but the
leaf of the white elm is its principal
food.

the trees are banded and the other

BAND THE TREES
Do 1t Now to Preserve the Beautiful
EIms

Band the trees now and keep the
sticky stuff on them fresh
This was the injunction of Prof. s.
J. Hunter of the state university. to
the citizens of Topeka, who heard him
at the Chamber of Commerce today
noon.
The worm which does the dana ge
to the foliage of the American or white
elm Is the canker worm. otherwise the
common measuring worm.
The female beetle crawls up the
trunk of the elm and deposits from
100 to 400 eggs. If II succeeds in getting
up the tree The female, which is
wingiess, is climbing the trees today. It
will be active in any temperature
above 40 degrees I have seen the
beetle come up out OF the snow: il is
a hardy animal The people of Abi-
lene, Lawrence and other cities are
banding their trees now and the peo-
pie OF Topeka should do the same.
In one night from 100 to 500
beetles or moths will accumulate upon
tangIefoot- The male has wings. The
females will crawl over the dead
bodies of their relations, so it is neces-
sary to scrape off the dead insects
before applying anew the tang1efoot
It may be necessary to apply the
sticky substance as many as ten times
