Agricultural News

Mr.. David Fairchilds, agricultural
explorer for the office OF foreign seed
and plant introduction, wants to Sc
cure the names of boys and girls who
are interested in horticultural work.
He has some imported plants. seeds,
tubers and bulbs which he wants to
distribute free of charge TO some boys
and girls who are willing to plant
care for and keep records of the
plants that they receive.
A new garden vegetable. which has
been very successful both for human
and animal food. is the Chinese cab
bage. He has limited amount of
this seed which he will give to the
boys and girls who will keep records
and report to him. 1t is fine vege-
table for home use, and one of the
best foliage plants for hogs and
chickens. This is especially fine for
use in the small back yard where it
is necessary to grow green feed for
the chickens.
If you are interested let your coun-
ty agricultural agent know of it. Some
one in Fremont county should try out
this Chinese cabbage and the other
plants that Mr.. Fairchilds has.
"HoLLoW STEM" OF BEANS.
There has been one instance of the

the beans in this county and bean
patches should be watched for this
disease. 1t is a fungus trouble and

having been reported from the lower
Arkansas valley.

There is nothing to do for this trou-

CORN LOSES ITS ROOTS AND
DROP OVER.
About Canon City, especially on the
north side of the river. the corn has
been noticed to blow over and fall on
the ground after a wind or rain storm.
Upon examination the roots were
found to be eaten Off This trouble
was noticed last year also. II is the
work of the STRIPED corn root worm
that is causing this. The female
beetle is easily mistaken for the
striped cucumber beetle The beetle
lays its eggs about the roots of the
corn stalk, during the late summer or
early fall. The eggs remain over win
ter and hatch the following spring,
and if corn is planted on the same
ground the following year il is sure to
be attacked The little grubs on
hatching, burrow into the roots and
crown of the corn, causing the corn
to become stunted and they often
fall of their own weight, and are es
pecially prone to do so after a wind
or rain.

LONDON, June 1.-THE long herald
