Fighting The Flea Beetle.

At this season of the year, toma
toes, potatoes, egg plants and Other
crops suffer material damage from
the attacks of small black beetle
which eats many pin holes in the
leaves. Because of their ability tc
jump long distances they are called
flea" beetles. They are particular
ly injurious to the tender foliage OF
young plants and control measures
should be adopted before serious
damage is done.
Spray with Bordeaux Mixture
4-4-50 plus q pounds of Arsenate of
Lime or Lead. Arsenate of Zinc is
also used. Cover the foliage thoroly
with this spray.
One pound of powdered Arsenate
of Lead or Lime or Arsenate of Zinc
mixed with 25 pounds of air slaked
lime and busted on the plants early
in the morning when the dew is on

SPECIALISTS To Aid Beginners.

The sheep extension specialists APP
pointed by the Department of Agri-
culture and now at work in Is States
are giving special assistance to pro-
spectivc sheep raisers in aiding them
procuring satisfactory stock and in
providing necessary equipment to in
sure successful outcome of the new
ventures. In this way people who
are unable to retain for breeding pur-
poses the full number Of the female
increase of their nocks, are arranging
through the extension specialists and
local county agents to have their sur,
plus stock 60 into the hands of other
persons who are looking for stock
This has been an important factor il
conserving breeding stock whicl
might otherwise have gone to tn,
mar ket for immediate slaughter.

Conserving Meat Products.

In recent speech by DR., R. l.,
Wilbur on the conservation OF meat
the following statements were made!
Careful analysis of the figures in
regard to hogs indicates that we were
five to seven million hogs short at
the period when the conservation
program was started with the Amer
lean people. The average expost OF
hog products per month was roughly
So, 100000 pounds before the Euro
pean war. In the last half of the
year 1917, because of the decrease IN
the number of hogs in the country,
it fell below the somewhat increased
level due to war demands. In March
1918, we were exporting 800, ,OOo,OO
pounds per month and can see our
way clear, with the present saving
and production. to- go forward at this
rate for an indefinite period. We
have now in storage 100, ,OOO,OOO
pounds of pork products which pro-
vide an ample reserve for steady
flow to meet the Allied demands as
well as the demands of this country.
This represents wholly the voluntary
conservation of the country, as 1t
does not reflect the present increase
in the hog population.
Before the war, we were export
ing two to three million pounds OF
beef monthly. After the European
War began, there was an increase OF
%, ,OOO,00 pounds per month. Now,
we are exporting l3O, ,OOO,O 900 pounds
of beef per month and with the con-
tinuation. of conservation and pro-
duction, there is no reason TOR aHtlc-
ipating other than continuation OF
this vital program

Urges Saving Canned Goods.

The United States Food Admins
tration urges housekeepers to use as
much of the fresh growing vegetables
as possible for food and thus save the
canned foods which will be needed
SO badly later on. BY using the
home or nearby grown vegetables and
fruits, these products are saved from
waste and the strain on the trans
portation lines relieved. In addition
to this, you are urged to can or de-
hydrate sufficient vegetables and fruits
70 serve your requirements during
the coming winter. If you are not
familiar with the best means of can
ming and dehydrating, thoroughly
tested recipes may be obtained at the
office of the Food Administration.
The situation is sufficiently critical
to require the most careful observanc ce
of these requests and every patrioti ic
American family will unquestionably
respond to the call of the Govern
ment at this time.

The Meat Program.
Food Administrator Does Not
Wish To Say "Meatless Days

Wish TO Say "Meatless Days
We need for shipment to our army and
our allies about 5000, 900 pounds OF
meat and meat products per week, while
we used to ship them before the war less
than Is, 900, 900 pounds. Even with these
large shipments, the allies have found IL u
necessary to reduce consumption OF all
kinds of meat and poultry to an average
of about II pounds per person, While our
consumption is about 81 pounds.
At this time of the year there is a
normal decrease in the number OF AMI
mails coming to market. 1t is probable
that the number coming to market will
farther decrease, bun the actual amount
of such decrease cannot, at the present
time, be determined.
The Food Administration is anxious, II
possible, to avoid the necessity OF rees-
tablishing meatless days and meals, and,
therefore, urges US to practice a rigid
economy in our consumption of all kinds
of meat and poultry, and especially beef,
in the hope that general voluntary action
of this kind will obviate any necessity
for the re-establishment of meatless days
and meals.
Particular attention is called to the de-
STABILITY of increasing the consumption
of milk during the summer months, using
it as a substitute for meat.
