PREPAREDNESS AND

PREPAREDNESS AND
PEST CONTROL
This will undoubtedly be a season
of heavy planting of staple crops. AS
a preparedness measure it should also
be one of special effort to protect our
crops against the attacks of insect
and rodent pests. Statistics gathered
some years ago showed something
like a ten per cent annual reduction
of the agricultural output of the Unit
ed States due to insect pests alone.
1t costs as much to prepare the soil
and put the crop in and about the
same to harvest the crop that has been
damaged as the full crop, so that the
loss really comes out of the net re.
turns.
A large part of the damage can be
prevented and ten per cent, or ever
five per cent, of the agricultural out.

seem certain to do.
1t is, impossible to tell in advance
just what the important insect pests
of the season will be. No two years
are alike. Two years ago the army

of fall wheat in Montana, and much

to this end.
The officials elected are high.class
men and are among the foremost clti

of the candidates were leading and
