FARM BUILDING PLANS

added 10 the list within a few weeks.
Copies Of the plans are on file in
the office of County Agent J. 5.

completed they will be sent TO sup
plement the county agents files.
In order that the greatest service
possible may be rendered TO the far

Early maturing varieties. chiefly

the Wisconsin experiment station.
This is the third year of selection
there for some varieties, and the
results promise the successful pro-
duction i'm that state of seed of hemp

which was maintained by dealers
and consumers until after the close

WORKING ON NEW
SOURCES Of FIBER
FOR BINDER TWINE
Philippines and Porto Rico
Being Encouraged to
Produce Hemp.

That there are possibilities OF the
United States becoming to consld-
cradle degree independent of Yucca
tan for its suTp'y OF binder-twine
material is shown by developments
made by the United States depart
nent OF agriculture in recent years
ln the production OF sisaI and hene-
quen tn some OF the insular possess
sions and the production OF hemp
fiber in the United States. Manila
nakuey has been grown in the Phil
ippines many years and sisal has
been introduced into those islands
since the American occupation.
Work carried or by the depart
ment in cooperation with the Phil
ippine bureau OF agriculture during
the past year resulted in the intro
duction into the Philippines Of the
first really efficient machines for
cleaning these fibers Two ma

equipped and in operation and "A
third complete outfit has been for
warded Plantations for supplying
leaves for the machines are being
planted on a large scale and better
methods OF planting. cultivating
and harvesting are being practiced.
The cultivation OF fiber plants i'm
the Philippines has been confined
chiefly 10 areas near the coast
where the leaves could be soaked
ia the sea water TO soften the pulp
and facilitate cleaning the fiber by
hand Cantala. or Manila maguey,
was produced more extensively be-
cause the plants were more easily
obtained and this fiber was more
easily cleaned by hand More than
1000 tons Of this hand-cleaned fl
Der were exported from the Philip
pines during the calendar year 1917.
Its value for use in binder Irvine is
greatly impaired because the salt
from the sea water in which the
leaves are soaked attracts crickets
and grasshoppers. which destroy the
bands while the bundles of grain are
standing in the field

10 is found that sisal is not only

WHEN 17-YEAR LOCUST
COMES AND SYSTEM FOR
DETERMINATION OF PEST

The year 1919 is likely to be one
OF the worst locust years on rec
ord. But entomologists of the
United States department of agri-
culture see nothing alarming in the
prospect.
The periodical cicada, the real
name of the insect commonly called
locust" will appear this year in the
following states: Alabama, District
of Columbia, Delaware, Georgia, ILL
nois. Indiana. Iowa. Kentucky.
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,
New Jersey. New York. North Caro-
lima, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Car
Dina, Tennessee, Vermont Virginia.
West Virginia and Wisconsin.
The injury done by the periodical
cicada consists almost wholly in
chiseling grooves in the branches of
trees for depositing eggs. This in
jury always appears to be greater
nan it actually is Popular alarm
is usually out of proportion To gen.
eral damage.
Young fruit trees are sometimes
killed by the cicada. The precau-
tionary measures are: Defer put
ting out young fruit trees till next
year: postpone budding operations;
do no pruning this winter or spring
When the insects begin coming
/ out. hand pick them from young
fruit trees or spray them with py-
rethrum powder, kerosene emul-
sions or a solution of carbolic acid
or acetic acid.
Later. when the insects are ready
to begin laying, spray young fruit
trees with whitewash.
