HOW ABOUT RuckwHEAT?


 In the sections where it can be grown buckwheat holds out more than usual promise this year. There are sure to be many acres here and there which, because of weather or labor shortage, will be implanted when it is too late to put in oats or corn. These fields will just suit the buck wheat. Early preparation of the soil and a little available plant food to start growth will practically insure a good crop of buckwheat If the field is inclined to be weedy, all the more reason for buckwheat. The buckwheat grows so fast that it soons takes the heart out of the hardest ragweed.
 Buckwheat has long been the scape- goat of the cereal gains. Just be- cause it is enterprising enough to try to grow on any old soil it has the rep utation of being poor farm and poor tanners special crop. That doesn't mean, however. that it will not do exceptionally well with good treat ment. Successful growers of buck wheat-the men who average S5 to 40 bushels per acre-know that well pre- pared land and little available plantfood, such as is supplied by 200 or 300 pounds of a fertilizer carrying ? per cent. of ammonia and 10 or F per cent. of phospheric acid, are necessary factors to produce this good yield. They also know what would happen to the yield if they nracticed the plan followed by some of the "buckwheat farmers" growing buckwheat year after year on the same land. not even taking the trouble of blowing and -seeding-for buck wheat is so lgood-natured that ii will re-seed itself-and almost never contributing anything in the way of manure or fertilizer toward the grow ing of that crop.

FoRTlFY WITH SILAGE
Against Winter and High Priced Feed
 Says Government Specialists.

Don't forget your silo," is advice to the beef-cattle farmer by special ists Of the United States Department of Agriculture
 In every case, the specialists say, a sufficient acreage to provide crops to fill the silo should be provided by beefcattle farmers. This will assure that the silo investment will yield it's proper annual return and prevent losses coming from giving the cattle more expensive feeds. The cheapness with which cattle can be fitted for market or carried through the winter with silage insures that well filled silos will be a paying investment.
 It is good farm practice, the spec ialists say, to put more acreage to si- lage crops than it is estimated under ordinary conditions will be necessary to fill the silo. Dry weather or a hailstorm at the crucial stage of growth may cause a marked decrease in the tonnage yield. For the South few extra acres should be planted to sorghum to meet this probable shortage.

HIGH CROP YIELDS MEAN HIGH
 LABOR RETURNS.

Almost every farmer agrees that he could raise more corn or oats or hay. or potatoes on given acre of land if he set out to do so, and generally concludes his remarks by saying that to do so would cost him more than the increase would bring on the mar ket. In order to throw some light on this subject, Professor Frank App of the New Jersey Experiment Station collected data on 192 farms in Mon mouth County, New Jersey. The av- craze crop. yield of the county was rated at 100 per cent. The income of the farm was compared with the av- craze acre yield. The results are H. Illuminating. On farms where the yield was 15 per cent. or less than the average, the farmer worked for noth- ing and paid for the privilege in addi- ton, and the lower the yield the greater was the net loss on the farm. On the other hand, the net gain increased steadily with the gain in acre pro- duction,. even after all. expense. of growing the crop were deducted. The

EXAMINE YOUR REEHivEs. Unless Provision Is Made for Surplus
 Honey Losses Will Occur.

Bee keepers of this region should examine their swarns and hives at once or they may have to send in a hurry call for information, just as a Massachusetts beekeeper did last week He was anxious to know why his bees. had swarmed at such an early date, swhen all his previous sex periences had been that no .swarming was to be expected until a month later.
 An, investigation showed that one. of : his swarms had been so busy during the early spring that they had stored up more than 50 pounds ot honey already and were sWarrning jus from lack of room to store any more While it is not uncommon for bees tt swarm as early as this. and for the same reason, the. small production of honey last year and the weak con- I ditions of many swarms after hard winter, made it improbable this year. Why this one swarm should have come through so strong and stored so much honey in so short time is not l apparent. as one of his other sWarms was killed outright by the cold weather in the winter and the big swarm had exactly the same treat ment, through the winter. The con- ditions have been good for storing a large amount of honey thus far this spring and every bee keeper should make sure that his swarn1s have l plenty of room to take care of any honey stored during the height of the season.
 When the hive from which the swarming bees came had been opened the super was found to be filled to | the limit with honey of the finest | quality, made from the early spring flowers. It was decided to have two colonies Instead of one, so with the assistance of the bee expert the owner put on a fresh super after re- moving the one which was filled, and cut out the queen cells which were in
 the broodl frame. This swarm will build itself up through the summer.
 The bees had swarmed on small pine tree and inspection of the cluster failed to reveal the queen bee. It was then late in the afternoon and the bees were so quiet that very little wetting down with a whisk
 broom made them so tractable that
 the men were able to poke them about freely Being unable to find the queen
 they simply brought a new hive over and shook the greater part of the
 swarm into it. Within five minutes
 every bee in the cluster and all ir IHe dlr had gone Into the nlVe, snow
 ing conclusively that the queen bee was within.
 After a few minutes to allow then
 to quiet down the hive was taken over
 to it's permanent position. There i: no doubt that this swarm will star
 out fresh and produce a large amount
 of honey through the remainder of the season.
 The lesson from the experience is that every bee keeper should inspect his hives and if the super is nearly
 full he should add another. Swarm ing may be prevented in almost ever!
 case, provided care is taken to givt them plenty of room. The instinct tC
 store honey is the greatest thing il the life of the bee and if there is nc
 place to continue storing in the hiv, the bees will surely swarm and go tt 3 new quarters.

SPRAY YOUR GARDEN CROPS
Injury From Insect Pests Must Be
 Carefully Guarded Against.

It is more important this year than ever before that the garden crops in Connecticut be protected from injury by insect pests. A successful garden means that after your plants come up, many of them must be sprayed to ure- vent injury from insects. Such spray ings most satisfactory if done at the proper time.
 You can get the jump on all leaf eating insects by spraying with Lead Arsenate just before they appear, us ing four level teaspoonfuls (paste) or two level teaspoonfuls (powder) of Arsenate- of Lead to one gallon of water By spraying before the leaf eating pests appear, you insure your crops against damage by this class of insects.
 In addition to the leaf-eating in sects, we also have another class of insects, those which suck the juices from plants, and these must be at tackled by a different kind of spray. The sucking insect cannot be fought until. they are actually at work, when spray consisting of nicotine sulphate and water is used. This spray. to be effective, must hit each individual bug. A good example of this class of pests is the aphis which was so prev alent on potatoes throughout the State last year.
 Your spraying campaign should re- ceive careful thought and be planned ahead. Obtain the materials you will need and a good practical pump or l aton5-zer sprayer. By having the materials and pump on hand and l studying the various types of insects which are apt to attack the crops you are growing, it is comparatively easy to forstall most of the injury caused 1 by eating insects. The secret of suc- cessfully fighting insects in the home garden is to be prepared ahead of time. and to know what you are spray
 ing for.

fully vegetables are canned and there fore you can plan for the maximum amount.
 As to fruits, it is possible to can them without sugar, sugar being doubtful commodity at the present time. They may not be as palatable, but if it is a choice between waste and conservation or of a slightly in ferior product and no product, the patriotic housewife will can the fruit whether she has sugar or not. Straw berries may be mashed and canned without sugar by increasing the time of sterilization and are delicious for shortcake.
 The present voluntary ration" of sugar is three-qUarters of a pound per week per person. Some house. wives are pooling" the weeks supply, putting the total allotted amount of sugar for the household in some re- ceptable and taking all sugar used for the family during the entire week from this amount. We recommend this plan as it insures keeping absolutely with
 in the amount, and we are urging housewives to save as much as poss1-
 ble from this amount for canning. By using a certificate issued by the state food administrator it is possible lo secure SnldIl duuIllolldl Suppiy of sugar if the purchaser certifies that it is to be used for canning and pre- serving purposes only.
 Take account of your jars. See that | the jar is sound, that the covers fit | closely and in the case of wire clamps make the adjustments. You will save time by so doing this now rather than at the time of canning. If you have
 not a sufficient number of jars for the
 proposed canning, we would advise
 placing your order at once for there 1 is likely to be a shortage of jars later due to lack of transportation facilities l As you know rubbers should never be used a second time. It is risk
 which you cannot affard to take These also should be ordered carly

SWAT THE MALE BIRD.
Attention Can We'll Be Given To Eqq
 Production.

Every poultryman interested in maximum production at minimum cost should market all mature male birds by June l. The time has arrived when the male bird is no longer useful. Ex- cept in a very few instances where special matings are made, this sea- sons breeding work is done It costs as much or more to feed and care for a male bird for a year as it does laying hen. As you cull the stacker hen, eull the male bird Keep no in dividual that does not produce a value greater than the cost of feed and care. There are some males worthy of being kept over for another years breeding work, but they are the exception. If the breeding work has been carefully planned, there should be young males growing up that will be equal or su- perior to the old ones.
 The male bird does a still greater ahrm than eating his head off during g the summer, fall and winter. If all lowed to run with the hens. he will fertilize the market eggs during the warm months when we get nearly half of the seasons production. A few hours under broody hen, in warm room, or in a store window and in cubation starts. Then the tempera- ture changes. the germ dies and the eggs spoil. This loss is much greater even in our by markets than is commonly supposed, It is worth while to produce infertile eggs.
 The male bird is in no way neces sary for egg production; in fact, his presence in flock of hens may slight ly decrease production. Egg pro- duction frequently drops slightly when males are placed with the hens, for breeding purposes. The average male bird has no license to live, except during his season of usefulness.
 Swat the male bird, fatten your own pocketbook, and increase the Nations food supply. June first is the time limit.-Roy E. Jones, Ex- tension Poultryman, Connecticut Agri- cultural College.

By p. G. HOLDEN

Mississippi recently held a jollifi- cation to celebrate the glad tidings that her soil was at last free of cattle tick and that the quarantine had been lifted from the last county in the state. In the F years war, 379 312 square miles of territory in the south ern states have been reclaimed for healthy stock. and the campaign to reclaim the rest IS now going forward with a rush. Opposition to the fed eral program has almost ceased, and the South is looking forward to the day when she will be the chief stock raising belt of the United States
 Heaven grant that day comes quick ly, There is need of it.
 Twelve years ago, FPS 562 square miles of the United States were in fested by the fever carrying tick. This meant that over an area. three and one-half times as great as France, cattle raising was under a handicap which made real success impossible. This region included some of the finest natural cattle country in the land, for the pest entered Texas across the Rio Grande and spread north and east till il covered most of the old South, where mild climate and good pastur- age seem to invite the multiplication or herds.
 From that time to this, the United States Department of Agriculture has waged a stF~y fight against this scourge. It's weapons were poison and starvation; it poisoned the ticks by dipping the infected herds. and starved them by keeping stock out of infected pastures. But this required the cordial and intelligent co-opera : tion of the farmers, and for a long time that cooperation was hard tc secure. Indeed, there was active op- position in many cases; only a few years ago dipping vats were blown UT by dynamite in one of the rura counties of Mississippi.
 This great achievement, which ex- tended free-tick territory clear to the
