frequently Is done. The usual custom,
however, is TO store the hay loose in
the barns.
Harvesting for Seed.
In harvesting soy beans for seed me-
chanIcal pickers are used quite exten-
sively. These pickers are Of different
makes. but all have the same general
principle. They run astride the rows
and knock out the beans, leaving the
stems, leaves, and bulls on the land.
The machine Is drawn by two mules
and operated by two men. One man
drives and another throws out the ex-
cess trash that accumuates In the
back of the machine. The picker will
hold from 4 to 8 bushels of beans.
When It is full, the beans are emptied
and handled In different ways. In one
common method the beans are run
through half-inch mesh sieve to re-
move the coarse trash and then are
Sucked. One or two men handle the
sieve. These men may be the same who
operated the machine or they may be
extra men. After this the beans are
cleaned with tanning mill.
~, Time for Harvesting.
Harvesting with a picker begins
seine time after the leaves Of the plant
have fallen. The time to begin is when
the first pods pop open and throw out
the beans. AS the picker works best
only when the beans are dry. the ma
chine is not started in the morning I'M
til the dew is of, which Is usually
from 8 to III o'clock. When the days
work Is once started. II Is customary
to continue work until nightfall with
out stopping for dinner. In the soy
bean district picking usually, begins
| about the last of October and lasts
through approximately 10 days OF
good picking weather. If 1t rains, the
maturing of the beans is checked and
| picking Is resumed when the weather
again becomes dry. A machine will
| pick from 3 to 6 acres per day.
Waste In Picking.
The waste OF beans In picking usu
ally varies from one-twerftieth to one
fourth, and, as a rule, averages about
one-eighth. II the plants are blowr
down or have long branches so the ma
chine cannot handle them we'll the
waste may be more than this. or II the
beans are left On the vines too late, sc
that many Of them pop out, the vast
age may be higher. Varieties of beans
that begin ffuiting some distance from
the ground can be harvested with the
least wnste by picker. and this II
one advantage Of the mammoth yellow
soy bean. Hogs are usually turned In
to clean IN the waste beans, so that Ia
fact there Is a very little loss.

INTERCEPT and
DESTROY FLIES
Half of Insect Pests Could Have
Been Kept Out Of Country
by Quarantine.
FRUIT FLIES ARE BEAUTIFUL
immense Losses Caused Annually to
Fruits and Vegetables Of United
States Could Be Prevented
Precautions Being Taken.

More than half of the insect pests
that annually cause immense losses
in fruits and vegetables of the United
States could have been kept out of
this country by thorough quarantine
against them. according to officials of
the United States department of agri-
culture. To guard against more in
furious insects being brought In from
other countries is the object of the
federal plant quarantine act of 1917
which, with the development of knowl-
edge of insects throughout the world.
has resulted in the bars being put up
wherever the pests are likely to enter.
Among the insects of other lands
that have not yet become established
In this country are the serious pests
known popularity as fruit flies. They
resemble ordinary house flies but are
far more beautiful, inasmuch as their
wings are prettily spotted and band
ed and their bodies are usually more
brightly colored. They are like house
flies also in that they lay small, white,
eggs that hatch into whitlsh maggots.
However the maggots do not develop
in refuse or decaying matter as do
those of the house fly. but they feed
upon the living tissues of fruits, nuts
and vegetables. Eggs are laid just
under the skin of the host plant or
fruit and these hatch into the mag
COTS which burrow in all directions
through the pulp. AS the maggots
tunnel about they cause decays to
develop and these rotting areas often
produce greater injury than the mag.
COTS themselves.
Where Danger Lies.
Increasing imports from the coun-
tries where fruit flies now abound, ex-
tension Of trade to remote corners
of the earth, increasing density of
population In the warmer portions OF
this country, are making greater each
year the danger that fruit flies may
become firmly established in the Unit
ed States.
To intercept and destroy fruit flies
as well rs other pests, the federal
horticultural board of the department
of agriculture, charged with the en-
forcement Of the plant quarantine act
prohibits the entry of all horticultural
products likely to carry insect. pests
unless they have been rendered free
from danger as pest carriers, either
by federal inspection or by treatment
by approved methods under federal su.
pervision.
The department also has estab-
lished in the Hawaiian islands a sys
tenn of inspection that is heartily sup
ported by fruit growers and transpor
tation companies, whereby all plantn'
tions and packing houses from which
fruit is shipped ore kept from beconl
ing sources Of fruit-fiy dissemination
