EQUIPMENT BIG FACTOR.

Besides the saving in farm labor
due to the use of large-sized teams
and equipment, there is the gain,
sometimes very great, due to being
enabled to cover more acres per day,
both in the preparation of the soil
for planting and in the harvesting of
the crops. The difference of a few
days during unfavorable weather is
often the deciding factor between a
good crop and poor crop. The form
err does not need to be told that the
seasons for many farm operations are
exceedingly short, particularly in the
Northern States, and that the sue
cessful farmer is the one who is pre-
pared to make the best possible use Of
the time when it is ripe. The max
imum use of teams and of labor is a
big factor in attaining this end.

MORE FORAGE CROPS NEEDED

Increase of forage crop produc-
tion can be accomplished by increas.
ing the average yield of alfalfa and
other perennial crops and larger use
of summer annual crops. This adj
vice is being sent by specialists of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture to farmers in the region af-
fected.
The most desirable annual crops
are Sudan grass and sorghum, the sor-
ghum is one of the best varieties for
silage or green feed. 1t yields heavi-
ly and is Of good quality. Sudan
grass will produce a much larger
amount of good forage under irriga-
tion than any other grass, and as 1t
is an annual it is especially service
able for quick production. On irri-
gated land Sudan grass can be sown
as late as July Is, but for heavy pro-
production planting should be made
about April 1. AS Sudan grass seed
is not always readily obtainable farm
ers should make sure at once of the
amount they will need.
The normal average yield of alfalfa
in the Southwest is considered far
below what it should be. Yields
from to tons an acre are possible.
The surest and quickest way of in
creasing the average yield of alfalfa
is to see that the stands are thickened
and maintained. Bare places in fields
should be put in condition and re-
seeded, the best time for this being
February or early March. Reseeding
for the purpose of thickening thin
stands should be done when the al
falfa plants are making but little
growth, which means in the fall or
early winter.
The worlds call for food this year
makes the forage situation of unusual
In past year large
of grain have been cut for
hay, but this plan will be largely
abandoned this year so that more
mature grain can be produced.

| other Government supplies and that
which remains will be distributed
among the mills for civilian needs.
| Major Gen. Goethal advises all wool
centers that the 1918 clip should not
be disposed of during the next thirty
| days in order that the Government
may have time to determine its ex-
act needs for the coming year. Re-
ports from Washington indicate that
the Government will arrange to re-
ceive the 1918 clip on the basis of the
price mentioned, but urges the pro-
ducers not to dispose of their wool
until more definite information is
made available.
1t would seem advisable for Ken
lucky wool producers to pack and
store their seasons clip in the best
possible way for at least few weeks
until the Government has issued more
definite information. Care should
be taken bp producers to so pack their
wool that the quality will not be in
jured either by staining or mildew.
In packing wool away either store it
in wool sacks or in a clean dry bin.
The Department of Animal Hus-
bandry of the College of Agriculture,
Lexington, will be glad to offer fur
ther suggestions on storage and the
Department of Markets will be pleas
ed to give futher information regard
ing the marketing problem at the
earliest date at which it receives fur
ther definite information from Wash
ingtOn.

LOOK OUT FOR LOCUSTs.

Brood TX of the periodical cicada,
commonly known as the 17-year To-
Gust, is expected to appear in May
and June of This year, along the line
of the Allegheny Mountains in West
Virginia, Virginia. and North Caro-
lima. In the main, this brood covers
a rather compact territory, extending
from the southern part of West Vir-
ginia, across Virginia into the north
ern part of North Carolina. There
are a few reports of occurrences of
this brood in Ohio, northern West
Virginia, and Virginia, but these out
lying colonies are of little importance.
The 17-year locust covers in it's
range nearly all of the United States
from the Missippi Valley eastward.
The curious features of its regular
periodic appearances and its long sub
terranean life gives it perhaps the
greatest popular interest which at
taches to any insect on this continent,
ana leadS 10 many inquiries Wltn
every temperance of any important
brood. There are two races of Ii is
insect: % The 17-year race, which
occurs in II different broods over the
northern and central United States.
and CD the 12-year race, which &C
ours in different broods throughout
the Southern States form Texas east
ward. When any of these broods are
characterized by great swarms they
naturally cause fears for the safety of
trees. The actual damage, however,
is slight and is accomplished by the
female cicada when she cuts the bark
of the tree in the deposition of her
eggs

Brood Y Due i'm 1910.

While the expected brood is not
an important one and does not cover
very much territory, it is interesting
as the forerunner of the largest of
all broods of the cicada, namely,
Brood X, which will appear in May
and June, 1919, and which, in a gen.
eral way, surrounds the area occu-
pied by the brood of this year and in
vades nearly score of States,
Damage Done and Partial Remedies.
Within the territory covered by
this brood the amount of damage
probably will be small and will be
limited for the most part to young
orchards. The damage to forested
areas is negligible.
Ordinary repellent substances, such
as kerosine emulsion or carbolic-acid
solutions, seem to have very little eff
feet in preventing the opposition of
these insects. Some recent expert
ments, however, indicates that trees
thoroughly sprayed with Bordeaux
mixture or lime wash are likely to
be avoided by the cicada, especially
IL there are other trees or woods in
the neighborhood on which they can
oviposit.
The most reliable means Of protect
ing nurseries and young orchards is
by collecting the insects in bags or
umbrellas from the trees in early
morning or late evening, when they
are somewhat torpid. Such collec-
tions should be undertaken at the
first appearance of the cicada and re-
peated each day.
Vigorous young trees often recover
in three or four years from the effects
of loss Of or injury to, consider
able percentage of their branches.
However, it is difficult to overcome
the unsymmetrical appearance which
will commonly result from the indis-
eliminating pruning often necessary
as a result of the female insects
work.
Treatment of Affected Limbs.
The worst affected branches should
be removed. The less injured limbs
may be coated on the wounded parts
with grating wax or moderately hard
soap. These protective coverings
should be renewed at least once a
year, preferably in the spring, until
the wounds are entirely healed over.
1t may be expedient, in the case of a
badly wounded recently budded or
grated tree, to cut it back nearly to |
the bud or graft, so that an entirely |
new top may be made.
In the case of older trees the main
object of treatment is to secure the |
rapid healing of the wounds and pre-
vent their being used as points of |
secondary infection by other insects.
The worst injured limbs is such trees
should also be cut out, so that all
the vigor of the plant may be directed
TO the remaining wood. The healing
process may be accelerated by
through cultivation and the use of
fertilizers ON the land about the trees
attacked.
