TO PRODUCE INFERTILE EGGS

Many merchants are now paying an
extra price for these eggs, according
TO Ross NJ. Sherwood Of the depart
ment Of poultry husbandry In the Kan.
sus State Agricultural college.
Two classes of merchants buy eggs
from the farmers. One pays a slight
increase In price for infertile eggs
and the other pays the same price for
both fertile and infertile eggs. The
swat-the-rooster movement made IT
possible for the farmer to market in
fertile eggs.
Formerly the farmer was not paid
for his trouble in producing infertile
eggs as the merchants did not know
the value of the infertiie eggs for mar
ket purposes, pointed out Mr.. Sher-
wood. Recently, however, it has been
brought to the attention of the mer-
chant, that he can afford to pay a
premium for infertile eggs because
they will keep much better. He win

ket with the assurance that they will

TRICKS HUN OFFICERS
British Courier Gets Help From
the Enemy.
Handle Confidential British Dispatches
but They Do Not
Know II.

London.-Two German officers re-
Gently handled more than dozen cases
Of confidential British dispatches. but
they did not know IL.
The story Is one of the many adven-
turOus Incidents which befall that Sc
Iect body of British public servants
who wear silver greyhound In their
buttonhole and are known as kings
messengers. May imagine that any
one who carries dispatches for the
British government Is kings messen-
ger. This is not correct. There are
only five men who hold commissions In
that service. The others are merely
admiralty cOuriers or war office cOur-
iers and have no right to the higher
title.
The particular messenger who out
witted the two German officers was
burdened with II bags of dispatches
for a British embassy, and he had to
change trains ut night at a station in
n neutral country. His heap of bag
gage was near the sleeping compart-
ment when his train drew near, but
there was no porter available. He had
only put five of the bags into the CON-
partment when the warning whistle
was sounded that the train was start
ing.
The messenger was in a dilemma.
He could not let the five bags go with
out him, nor could he leave the other
dozen on the platform. At that mo-
ment he caught sight Of two German
cavalry officers. 1t was risk to speak
to them, but in his best South German
dialect and with his face In shadow he
requested their help. They were less
naughty than the average German Of
ficer and each one lent hand.
The last bag was bundled aboard
with the train already In motion, and
the messenger waived his thanks, then
locked the door and collapsed on the
nearest seat.

MAKE WAR ON INSECTS
Campaign to Teach Every Farm
er and Keeper of Foods.
Reduction Of Only Per Cent Of Pres
ent Losses Would Result In Saving
Millions of Bushels Of Inn
portant Crops.

from the United States Department Of
Agriculture)
In an effort TO reduce the enormous
annual loss of food caused by attacks
of insects on growing crops, stored
food supplies, and live stock the bu-
reau of entomology of the United
States department of agriculture, in
cooperation with the extension serv-
ices of the states, is to begin a vigor-
Gus campaign to teach insect fighting.
Covering the country as effectively
as possible with emergency funds made
available in the food production bill
just enacted by congress the entomolo-
gists will deal with every pest of i'm
portant crops. Should the campaign
planned result In reduction of only
8 per cent of present losses from in
sects an amount aggregating millions
Of bushels 1t is estimated would be
saved. 1t is expected that an effective
campaign would result In even larger
saving.
Specialists will give demonstrations
to small groups Of farmers, fruit grow
ers and others in regions where their
services are most needed. Wherever
1t can be done persons in the community
where the demonstration Is being con-
Quoted will be asked to assist in pre-
pairing spray mixtures, emulsions, pol
soned bats, dips, washes and the like.
These persons, so far as practicable,
then will be requested to assist In the
application of these and other meas
ures In order that each community In
which demonstrations are given will
have one OF more persons acquainted
with methods of assembling and apply
ing insecticides and In the use Of other
remedial measures.
Specialists in rice insects will visit
rice fields. Men familiar with the in
sect pests of the orchard and vineyard
will be sent to those states where fruit
growing Is an important industry. In
the large trucking areas Of the country
and elsewhere specialists familiar with
the insects of truck crops will be de-
tailed. Men familiar with the insect
pests Of cereal and forage crops will
work in states where these crops are
Of most Importance, and will give spe-
cial attention to such important pests
as the Hessian fly, chinch bug and
joint worms.
In case of serious insect outbreaks
men will be available to concentrate
effort in the infested territory, to pre-
vent, If possible, further spread of the
pest. 1t is planned to give attention
also to demonstrating and disseminat-
ing information about methods for the
prevention of insect losses to stored
grains, -four and other products, in
mills, warehouses and granaries, and
for the reduction of losses to other
stored food products.
