FARM LABOR

Through the action of the Federal Government what
promised to be famine in farm labor has apparently
been averted The work of the United States Employ
men Service of the Department of Labor is bringing
lief to conditions that until recently the cause Of
grave concern.
Scarcity of farm labor may still be felt in some sec
tons Where this is the the greatest publicity
should be given to the fact that the Employment Service
stands ready at all times to cooperate with the farmers
in re1uedying the trouble.
In any community suffering from scarcity of farm
labor application to your rural route carrier your
postmaster will bring blank form that, when properly
filled out and forwarded to Washington according to d
rections will put that community in direct touch with the
Employment Service The heads of this service wish the
country to- know that date the Service has been able to
supply labor meet all calls and hopes to be able to meet
al future calls. .
Farmers needing help and unable to it, should
not hesitate to call upon this department. which
area primarily for their relief The Government is urgent
ahat no land in the United States lies idle this
year it is possible to bring it under cultivation TO this
end farmers with the proper help would be enabled to in
crease their acreage of crops should avail themselves OF
The Employment Service and themselves to the ut
most to produce bumper crops.

Cultivate Enemies of Moths

Everything possible to introduce
and encourage parasites and natural
enemies of the gypsy moth and brown
tail moth is now being done by the
Bureau of Entomology of the United
States Department of Agriculture, in
cooperation with the State of Massa-
chusetts. Several natural enemies, oc-
Cured from Europe and japan since
1905, have become firmly established
in this country and are assisting in
bringing about the control of these
species. The most effective enemies
of the gypsy moth and brown-tail
moth are the Calosoma beetle, a tach-
ina-fiy, and minute four-winged was
like parasite. Two tiny parasites Of
the eggs of the gypsy moth also have
been colonized and are valuable addi-
tions to the natural enemies of this
insect. The records at the gipsy-moth
laboratory at Melrose Highlands,
Mass, indicate that all of the species
of insect parasites mentioned have
been gradually increasing in the field
and that the results of their work
are very noticeable in certain restrict
ed areas.

Breeds Best Suited to Conditions
Where to Buy and How
to Select

Hens of the medium-sized breeds
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode
Island Reds and Orpingtons-are best
suited to backyard conditions. Large
hens kept in close confinement are
| likely to get too fat to lay we'll. Small ,
nervous hens are apt TO develop such
vices as egg eating and feather eat
; ing The bad tendencies mentioned
do not prohibit the keeping of large
and small breeds in small back yards,
but makes it necessary for the keep
er to use extraordinary care to keep
them in good condition and productive.
White and light-colored varieties are
not desirable for small back yards, be-
cause their plumage soils too easily.
Where to Purchase Stock
As rule it is most satisfactory to
buy hens of a local poultry keeper or
dealer in live poultry. Desirable
small flocks are frequently offered by
people who are obliged by change of
work or Of residence to sell their poul-
try. Dealers in live poultry every
where sort ont from their general re-
! ccipts the hens that show good breed
, ing and quality to sell to backyard
poultry keepers. When satisfactory
stock can not be obtained locally, the
agricultural papers, or newspapers
that carry poulrry advertising should
! be consulted, and the hens bought
from the nearest breeder who can
supply what is wanted at a reasonable
prize.
Select Utility Hens
For the backyard flock kept to
produce eggs only, it is not necessary
to have hens o: extra good standard
quality. What breeders of standard
poultry call choice utility hens are us
good as any for egg production ard
cost but little more than ordinary mon
| grels. liens Cf this grade in the mcdi-
UNI sized breeds are usually IitIlu
under standard weights, and have sd
pcrficial faults, '.s unsoundness Of co.
OF, or irrcgularity of ~ .rkings or of
the shape of the comb, which in nc
way affect their laying capacity, but
make them unfit for exhibition and
undesirable for breeding purposes.
Note Condition of Birds
When buying hens in person par.
ticular attention should be given tt
the general condition-whethe thu
bird seems vigorous and lively, and tt
the appearance Of the comb and the
condition of the feet. Healthy hens
have bright red combs and bright eyes
A slight palencss of the comb is
simply an indication that the hen i.
not laying at the time; but a birt
whose comb has either a yellowish o.
a blush cast should be rejected, fol
these are symptoms of internal dis
orders. The skin and scales Of leg!
and toes should be smooth, and tn

fection has been proven many times
in the past, and most recently in
Aroostook County, Me-, in 1917.
Among other places in the county,
this was shown conclusively at Aroos-
took Farm, where extensive expert
ments were conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture, in
cooperation with the Maine Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.
Late Spraying Increases Production
From 26 to 36 per cent
In one block where test plots spray
ed with standard Bordeaux mixture
were interspersed with untreated
check plots, the average yield on II
Of the former plots was at the rate
Of 1872 bushels per acre, while that
on an equal number Of untreated
plots was at the rate of 143.5 bushels
per acre. This was an increase of 37.7
bushels per acre, or more than 26 per
cent in favor of BORDEAUX mixture.
In another similar block the average
yield of five plots sprayed with Bor-
dcaux mixture was at the rate of
nearly 237 bushels per acre, while
that of the four untrcated check plots
in the same block was I74.3 bushels.
The gain here was G2.5 bushels per
acre, or about 36 per cent, due to
spraying. Six applications were made
or all the aforementioned sprayed
plots.
On these experimental plots, spray
ing ought to have been started 10 days
or two weeks sooner or by the end of
the first week in July. In spite of
this fact, the yields given above in
dictate quite plainly that spraying paid.
Moreover, many persons who saw the
plots during the latter part of the
season have testified to the striking
differences on sprayed and unsprayed
portions. On all the treated plots the
spraying was done with traction
sprayer which maintained good
working pressure of at least $50
pounds per square inch.
Early and Continued Applications

Sc per cent
Adjoining one Of the experimental
blocks was field where spraying
was begun earlier and eight or nine
applications were made. 1t was plant

yield on the portion o.. this field i'm
mcdiatcly adjoining one Of the un-
sprayed check plots was 267.3 bush
els per acre. Comparing this with
the averages Of the unspraycd check
! plots mentioned above, shows a gair
Of 1888 and 93 bushels per acre, re
or over SO and So per cent. In none
of the above figul es is any account
made of the extra loss resulting from
Tuber rot in storage in the crop pro
duced on the unsprayed plots.

SAVE YOUR
FERTILIZER BILL

All forms of plant food are scarce
and high priced, and all vase mate
rails on the farm that contain nitro
gen, phosphate and potash should be
saved, not wasted. The saving OF
these plant foods is far more impor-
tant now than when they were cheap.
Manure that has been carefully saw
ed is worth 81 or SIS, or more, ton.
With the proper care, one can mate
rally increase the production Of ma
nure. By care one can make good
wages during the winter season by
bedding well, not letting any Of the
manure go to waste.
What do We mean by going to
waste?" By pitching the manure out
in a pile where it may lose over halt
of its fertilizing value? When the
smoke, as we usually call it, escapes
from the manure pile, it is the equiv.
alent of money "going. up in smoke
If the stables are cleaned out, the
manure should go directly to the field
or in a manure pit with cover on it
Putting it directly on the field saves
handling the manure twice. By hay'
ing the field plowed in the fall and LEFT
rough, one can scatter the manure anI
get practically as good results as By
turning under the manure.
Never put off for next spring wha'
you can do this winter.

$3.50 a month. Almost any soldier
can pay even for the maximum
amount Of insurance. Where soldiers
or sailors do not themselves procure
and pay for the insurance their par
ents or guardian can do so. And /
appeal especially to the parents and
guardians of the men in the service
who have not or will not take out this
insurance themselves to act and act
now, before it is too late. Every per-
son should ascertain at once whether
his son has yet procured he insurance
and if not make application for him.
All communications should be address
sed to Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance, Washington, D. c."
Provision must be made for the fu-
ture. Our government has undertaken
in the most humane and scientific
manner ever known to look after and
take care of its heroic defenders. Even
where soldiers and sailors have no de-
pendents they should take the insur-
ance because it provides against inju-
ries which they may sustain that will
incapacitate them for the battle of
life.
l appeal with confidence to every
patriotic citizen to aid in bringing to
every defender of the nation from this
state the benefits of war insurance that
in the years of peace that we still
hope will soon be their portion, they
may have some compensation for loss
of limb or health. Respectfully,
TOM G. RYE, Governor.
