prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Trees and shrubs about the home
and farmstead not only increase the
value Of the property but make con-
ditiOns pleasanter and more healthful.
A limited amount Of planting may be
done, therefore, for comfort alone ir-
respective OF other return. Where a
considerable plantation is contem-
plated, however, it Is essential to
know what material may be grown
economically and the uses to which it
may be put.
On the average farm In the plains
region the first effort in planting is
to provide a small grove plantation
which will protect the buildings from
severe winds and furnish shade for
greater comfort Of both man and ami
mails. Sometimes when such wind
break has been established the owner
tries to make 1t furnish a supply Of
material for use on the farm. This
is mistake. for IL a belt OF trees Is
planted primarily as protection
against the wind the pruning and re-
moval Of much large material may
lessen or even destroy It's protective
value.
Value Of Plantation.
The value of a plantation, other
than windbreak, on the farm lies
In It's ability to furnish fuel, posts
and q limited amount Of lumber and
repair material. Within very few
years after planting the plantation
will need to be pruned and the prun-
ing will furnish considerable fuel, de-
pending upon the size Of the plot, If
good care is given the trees they will
develop rapidly and some thinning
will have to be done to prevent harm
full crowding. The material thus re-
moved will contribute materially to
the upkeep Of the farm by furnishing
posts and stakes. When the p1anta-
ton is still older more valuable ma
terial may be harvested. Small tim
bers for building construction, poles
for implements, also tool handles,
neckyokes, eveners, whifletrees and, in
favorable situations, limited amount
Of lumber is provided at home as
needed.
Throughout the plains region there
is a marked scarcity Of timber which
will produce even q fair grade OF lum-
Der and this fact should be taken
into account when species are select
ed for planting. When large planta-

INCREASE SUPPLY OF
CHICKENS AND EGGS

prepared by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.)
Every commercial breeder, ev-
cry farmer, every backyard
poultry raiser, is urged to keep
these aims steadily in view:
1. Keep better poultry. Stand
ard-bred poultry improves the
quality and increases production.
2. Select healthy, vigorous
breeders to produce strong
chicks
8. Hatch early to produce fall
and winter layers.
4. Preserve eggs when cheap
for home use.
5. Produce infertile eggs, ex-
cept for Matching.
6. Gull the focks to eliminate
improbable producers.
z. Keep a small backyard
flock to supply the family table.
8. Grow as much poultry feed
as possible.
8. Eat more poultry and eggs
to conserve the meat supply.

Community action in combating the
cabbage worm is desirable wherever
cabbage and related crops are grown
extensively. Agreements should be
entered by the truckers Of the commu.
nifty for each to spray throughout the
season and to carefully clean the fields
OF the bulk Of the old stalks as soon as
the crop is harvested. A few stalks
should be left at regular intervals as
traps on which the last generation Of

Such stalks should be poisoned freely
with arsenicals so that the worms Of
the last generation will not develop.

The common cabbage worm, the most
destructive enemy of cabbage and re-
lated crops In the United States, be-
Gins its depredations as soon as the
young plants are set out in the spring
and continues its work throughout the
summer. Control measures, to be eff
fective, should begin as soon as the in
sect makes its appearance.
Although the insect caused the total
destruction Of cabbage, caulilower,
and other crops In large areas in the
years Immediately after its first APP
pearance in this country in the sixties,
control measures have now been per-
fected to such degree and adopted
to such an extent that losses need
not be great. Spraying with solu-
ton Of two pounds of powdered arsen-
ate Of lead, four pounds of arsenate
Of lead in the paste form, or one pound
of paris green to so gallons of water
should be begun as soon as the plants
are set out and should be repeated as
often as examination of the plants
shows it to be necessary.
The common cabbage worm" is the
larva of white butterfly having black
tipped wings. The butterflies appear
on werm spring days, and continue
about gardens and fields until after
several severe fall frosts. In the Gulf
region they are present throughout the
season. Eggs are laid on cabbage and
related plants where they hatch in from
four to eight days.
The caterpillar is velvety green,
about the color of the cabbage foliage.
1t eats voraciously and grows rapidly,
becoming full grown in from ten to
fourteen days after Matching. Three
generations occur each season in the
northeast and probably six in the ex-
IRENE South. The first generation usu-
ally develops on wild plants.
Hand picking may be practiced sue
cessfully in small gardens. Where
sprays are employed they should be

ton Is established care should be
taken to put out such trees as will
give the maximum amount Of body
material and to arrange them so as to
derive the greatest benefit.
Secure Best Results.
In windbreak planting the best re.
suits usually are secured when the
shortest trees are placed on the side
facing the wind, SO that slipping face
is presented and the air currents are
detected upward. These short trees
should have low-branching habits and
dense foliage. In order that they may
offer as much hindrance to the pas
sage Of air currents close to the
ground as is possible. The Russian
olive Is probably the best for this.
Not infrequently. when complaints are
made Of the reputed ineffectiyeness
Of windbreaks it develops upon exami-
nation that the planter has either
used unsuitable species and given
them poor care or has failed to estab-
