work on the tuber.
In harvesting the tubers several
rules must be followed to- keep the
tubers from infestation:
I. The sacks should never be COW
cred with potato tops, as the larvae
leave these when they wilt and enter
the potatoes.
I 2. The sacks should be sewed as
soon as possible and hauled from the
field.
3. Potatoes should never be left in
the field or exposed to the moth over
night.
a. All Gull potatoes should be gath
cred up within two weeks and either
fed to stock at once or destroyed. IF
left nj the field they are a menace to
the neighbors and to the grower him.
self for the following crop.
After the potatoes are harvested
they should be marketed at once, un-
less the grower has storage facilities
and is willing to take~the trouble to
treat the potatoes.
The destruction of potato vines af-
ter harvest, while it kills all stages
of the insect within the vines, will
also kill the parasites which prey on
the moth. Destruction of the vines
would probably kill more of the para
sites than stages of the moth since
the tuber worm is liable to hide un-
der clods and rubbish, while most of
those parastized remain in or on the
plants.
Fumigation of Stored Potatoes.
Experiments indicate that carbon
disulphid used at the rate of pounds
to 1000 cubic feet of storage space
will kill the larvae and adults and
practically all the pupae and eggs
within 48 hours. The potatoes are
placed in gas-tight bins, which easily
may be made nearly air-tight by lin
ing temporary structures with tarred
paper and painting the seams. The
carbon disulphid should be placed on
the top of the sacks in shallow tin
pans. The gas that it generates is
heavier than air and sinks through
the mass of potatoes. AS carbon di-
sulphid vapor is explosive when mix
ed with air and brought in contact
with fire or sparks, or when heated
to a sufficiently high temperature,
great { re should be exercised to keep
any spark or fire such as lighted
cigar away from it's neighborhood. If
tubers are noticeably infested, the
fumigation should be repeated in a
week in summer or two weeks in
winter.
Wherever possible, potatoes should
be marketed as rapidly as possible,
and infested tubers should never be
stored unless they can be fumigated

1000 FARM LOAN -
ASSOCIATIONS FORMING

Washington. Sept. 20.-More than A.
600 farm loan associations are in the
process of organization in the United
States to borrow money under the fed
eral farm loan act according to a state
ment issued by the federal farm loan
board today. Twelve hundred Of these
organizations are already completely
organized and chartered and loans are
being made to the farmers who com
nose these associations at a remarkable
rate. The amount borrowed by each
association averages about $4,000 and
should all of the 1900 associations now
organizing, borrow at the same rate as
those already chartered over $l5OOOO-
600 will have been loaned by the twelve
federal land banks within a year.
Applications from chartered associa-
tions during August alone totaled near
ly $4,000 900 Nearly S2OOOOOOO OF
loans were approved by the federal land
hanks and the amount of loans actually
made during August Appropriated
nearly S4.OOOOOO. The total amount of
loans actually paid out to farmers up
10 september l is S771613S. This rep
resents approximately three months of
actual lending
The great difference between the
amount Of loans approved and the
amount of loans paid out is explained
bv the fact that after loans are ap
.proved farmers are required to provide
abstracts OF title and hundreds of farm
ers do not possess abstracts Of title
Approximately S25,0OO,OOO of loans
which have been approved by the banks
are awaiting abstracts to be supplied
. BY the farmers.
During the months when the fedora
land banks were being established an'
the machinery for their operation de
, yised tremendous volume of busi
ness accumulated. Hundreds Of farm
loan associations were organized AM
asked for loans before the banks wer
ready to operate. Consequently whel
the banks did open up they foun
