BY PROF. =. A. sPRAGo,
Plant Breeder, Experiment Station,
Michioan Agricultural College.

Michigan Agricultural college,.
East Lansing, Mich.-There have
been developed by the experiment sta
ton of the Michigan Agricultural col
lege In recent years improved strains
Of wheat, oats, rye and barley which
by repeated tests have been proved to
be superior in yielding. power, and In
a number of other qualities, to any
any other strains of these crops grown
In the state. All of these varieties
have been built up, by careful selec-
ton, from a single seed. In the case
of Red Rock wheat, the first planting
from which this variety has grown,
was made in the fall Of 1908.
After a time enough seed was pro-
duced from this original experiment
TO enable the college TO distribute
this variety among number of Sc
lected farmers, by whom 1000 acres
of this superior wheat are expected to
be harvested this season.
All Of this should be saved to be
marketed for seed purposes, but If its
holders desire TO have the grain in
spected and certified to by the college
and the Michigan Crop Improvement
association, every care must be eXer-
cised to see that the wheat isn't mixed.
These precautions are necessary for
this reason: Red Rock wheat, it has
been demonstrated, will yield from five
to ten bushels per acre or superior

CABBAGE WORM AT LARGE
Be Checked by Powder
and Sprays.
BY DON 3. WHELAN,
Extension Specialist in Entomology,
Michigan Agricultural College.


East Lansing, Mich.-Farmers and
gardeners with crop Of cabbages COM
ing on may find the cabbage worm
among their unwelcome visitors ere
long if they haven't already discovered
him. The cabbage appears to have no
end of troubles. If it survives trans
planting, escapes the fiea-beetle and
root maggot, and reaches an advanced
state of growth, 1t is attacked by cab
bage worms.
We notice frequently that the cab
bages we have watched over so closely
during the spring and early summer
have holes eaten through the forming
much damage by being eaten. UpAn
closer examination number of small
green worms, varying in size, are
found. They are not readily seen ow-
ing to the fact that their color is so
nearly like that of the leaves upon
which they are feeding.
The adult of the cabbage worm is
the common white butterfly seen SO
frequently in the early spring. In the
spring these butterflies gather in large
numbers in moist places and lay their
eggs on some available plant, and the
larvae emerge in about week. The
whole life cycle requires about five
weeks, and there are about three gen.
erations a year. The last generation
spends the winter as pupae among the
old stalks and rubbish in the fields.
Cabbage worms can be controlled by
the use Of powdered arsenate of lead
busted on before the heads have
formed. Later, as the cabbages ma
ture, spray consisting Of half an
ounce Of pyrethrum. or Persian insect
powder, in gallon of water, will serve
to efficiently control the worms" and
will be harmless to man. One spray,
however, will not be sufficient under
ordinary conditions. The spray will
have to be repeated at intervals
throughout the summer.

MANY Prominent MEN

FORMER MAYOR FRANK v. EVANS,

NNE of the latest additions to the

ORCHARDS NEED CULTIVATION
Keeping Soil In Good Condition Helps
Fruit Crop.

East Lansing. Mich.-Orchards, ac-
cording to the department of horticul-
ture Of the Michigan Agricultural col
lege, should be cultivated thoroughly If
they are expected to do their best. Gull
tivation is necessary to keep the soil
in good mechanical condition, to fur
Their prevent the loss OF moisture by
evaporation, and to kill and keep down
weeds.
The orchard should be gone over
once in ten days or two weeks, and
after hard rains. Fruit demands
great deal Of moisture to develop prop
erly, and for this reason frequent shall
low cultivation should be given to
make the moisture readily available to
the tree.
The smoothing harrow is one Of the
best tools to use in the orchard for this
purpose.

A FIELD OF MICHIGAN WINTER
BARLEY IN EAST LANSING.

and rye yield crops from 80 to SO per

furnish a short cut to increased pro-
duction.
grain more than any other white wheat
grown In the state. If all this i'm
proved strain can be planted this fall
1t will bring about a big increase in
production next season, and more in
1910, without so much as the breaking
Of an additional acre of ground-a fac
tor highly important in the light of the
expense in men and money which at
tends increasing acreage.
In addition to the Red Rock wheat,
"pedigreed" varieties of oats, barley
and rye have also been distributed.
Years of tests of these grains, including
the wheat, have proved that they will
yield the following, In bushels per acre,
as compared with other strains:
RED ROCK WHEAT.
common wheat, average. 1871 blu.
Red Rock state average. ............37.0b blu.
OATS
Common variety, average. bu
Worthy oats. state ayerage.......6S.o blu.
Common variety, average...........15.0 bu.
Rosen rye, state erage............4O.0 bu.
The adoption Of these improved
strains by the farmers of Michigan
would, without question, bring about
an increase In production with less
cost and greater returns than is pos
sible by any other single means.
But the men who have these strains
In their possession now, and those who
may plant them later, must recognize
that IL these varieties are to be kept
pure, and their high yielding qualities
maintained, every possibility of their
mixing. with other varieties must be
absolutely guarded against.
Before planting, and later In harv-
esting and threshing, these points must
be borne in mind:
Make sure that the land is free from
grain that may mix.
That the drill Is properly cleaned.
That an alley separates each two
grains.
That the last straw is removed from
the binder before beginning to cut.
That the grain harvested is kept sep
arate from other grain In shocking or
moving.
That the machine Is clean before
threshing. (Thresh oats before a fall
grain, or set aside few sacks before
saving seed.)
That the sacks have been turned in
side out and shaken.
That the cracks Of bin are cleaned
out before storing.
That the weed seeds are famed out
before sowing or selling
