WATCH FOR THE
SWEET POTATO BORER

Because of the increased acreage
of sweet potatoes in Louisiana this
year, there is serious danger that
the sweet potato weevil, or borer, will
become distributed over larger area
than it has heretofore occupied. This
insect feeds In the potatoes and rem
ders them unfit for human consump-
tion. The adult weevil is an odd
shaped, slender, hard-bodied, shiny
beetle, about onefourth inch long,
with conspicuous beak and legs. In
color it is partly metallic blue and
partly bright red. The footless lar
va, or grub, is white, with pale brown
head, and is about one-fifth inch long.
The Federal Bureau of Entomology
is making a special effort to prevent
the insects spread and to eradicate it
from sections where it is already
present. Thos. H. Jones, entomology
cal assistant, who is stationed at the
Experiment Station, Louisiana State
University, urges that potatoes con.
tanning the weevil be not shipped in.
to districts where the pest is moi
present. Infested potatoes found at
digging time should be destroyed by
burning or boiling. If boiled they
may be fed to stock. They should not
be left in the field or placed in stor
age with sound potatoes.

INFERIOR SEED MAY

WEED SEED THAT CAUSE PEH-
MANENT INJURY TO FARM.
SEED WILL Be TESTED FREE
There Is No Necessity For the Louis
lana Farmer To Plant Seed OF
Unknown Value.

One of the essential features OF
profitable crop production is the use
of good seed. The farmer OF Louis
lana has often suffered inadequate
returns and, no doubt in some in
stances complete crop failure OWNS
to the use of seed Of inferior grade.
Not only that, farm seed often cor
tain obnoxious weed seed which. IL
sown. will require time and money
TO eradicate. These resulting weeds
NAV in some cases effect permanent
injury to the farm.
There is no necessity for the LOUIS
lana farmer to plant seed of unknown
value. A seed testing laboratory is
maintained at the Experiment Sta
ton of the Louisiana State Univer'
sity for the purpose OF furnishing In
formation to farmers and seedsmen
as the quality Of commercial agricul
tural seeds. It enables the prospec
| tive buyer to obtain samples OF seed
| from the seedsmen or grower anC
have them tested before purchasing.
The seed laboratory is in charge o
an expert seed analyst and is vel
equipped for rapid and accurate tests
as to purity and termination. A pur
! ity test can be made and the repor
returned almost Immediately. A ger
mination test requires five days o.
longer, depending upon the kind o
cut seed tested.
To secure a sample, take three O
four tablespoonfuls of clover o
grass seed or ten or twelve table
spoonfuls of larger seeds. The sam
pie must represent accurately tn
bulk from which it is taken. To OF
tain representative sample, handful
of seed should be taken at random
from the top, middle and bottom G
the sack and, after thoroughly mixin
these handfuls, take the samples TO

Send the samples to the Seed Ii

No charge is made for the tests.

THE HOME CANNING MOVEMENT

The canned goods shipped into
Jacksonville last year, we under
stand, amounted in value to nearly
million dollars. Most if il came
from California. where the raising of
fruit has made the state rich. But
California does not depend, as Flori
da has done. on the marketing of
fresh fruit alone. Canning, preserv-
ing and drying has enabled her to
utilize much which Florida throws
away or has thrown away in the past
-wastes-and, as in the case of
many other things the utilization of
waste in by-products is steady
source of wealth
Florida has reformed in this regard.
Stirred up by many criticism and lat
er under the tutelage of government
agents. our people are learning to
save what they once allowed to rot
in their fields and are beginning to
perceive that the waste Of the gar
dens. fields and groves is quite an
addition to their incomes when saved

TELLING US HOW

There is nothing more irritating to
the people of small town. that the
air of superiority that people from
larger towns have towards them and
their village 1t is hard to say just
what prompts the city man to feel
greater than the villager, but he al
most invariably does, and what
makes it worse. shows it in his ac-
tions.
II is the weakness of city people
this belief of theirs that country peo-
pie are back numbers. The man
from city concern pays the country
/ business man a visit and shows plain
ly that he considers the little mer-
chant a very small potato; but if he
were wise enough to realize the truth
of their respective businesses, he
wOud know that the back-number
! merchant as he looks upon him, is
laying by each year more than the
+, city chap is drawing as a hired man
from company that could find a
thousand like him in a days time.

the home canning industry by the ne
cessity of saving for future use by the
growers or others of the surplus pro.
ducts of their labors in the city gar
dens now so much in vogue under
the federal government 1t should
not be forgotten by our amateur food
producers that for some uses the
dried products are rather superior to
the canned. They are more in de-
mand by the armies in the field, for
one thing, they will keep indefinitely
with reasonable care. and the same
abount of food costs far less fol-
transportation when freight has not
to be paid on the water that the veg

Just as Florida housewives have
asked in the past for California
canned gods they should in the fu
