freedom from financial worry on the
backs of big producers.
1t is impossible for the average dai-
ry cow of the United States even to
approach the remarkable production
record of Duchess Skylark Ormsby,
who produced in year 1,2O5.t9
pounds of butterfat, equivalent to
three-fourths of a ton of butter. But
II is possible for dairymen. the coun-
try over. to double the present pro-
duction of their herds. To increase
the production of the average dairy
COW from 160 to 800 pounds of but
terfat a year would not be difficult,
according to dairy experts. and would
increase net profits out OF proportion
to production costs.
This should be the aim of every
progressive dairy farmer. He should
eliminate the low producers from his
herd and feed the remainder accord
ing to known production. He should
improve the foundation stock with the
idea Of making the daughters yield as
much more milk than their dams as
possible. This practice in few gen
erations would greatly increase pro-
duction, decrease the cost Of feed and
add much to the profit and pleasures
of dairy farming.

rearing of brood at appropriate times.
These factors must not be lacking at
the right times, and il any one is omit
ted it may prevent the bees from gath
ering the crop of the following season.
These three factors do not apply equal
ly throughout the period of relative
inactivity, but as certainly as anyone
of them is decreased. Just SO certainly
will next years crop be reduced.
In practicing cellar wintering 1t is
unnecessary to leave SO much honey
with the bees during the time that they
are in the cellar, and 1t Is not neces-
sary during that period to leave room
for the rearing of brood. During the
coldest part of the winter the bees
need especially protection from cold
and wind, although enough good stores
must be in the hive to keep them
through that period in good condition.
Probably a large part of the failure
of beekeepers in practicing cellar win
teripg comes from the fact that be-
fore and after the bees are in the cell
lar the important factors of stores and
breeding room have not been adequate
ly supplied. Before the bees are put
into the cellar they must have room
for breeding and stores in abundance,
and after they are taken out these two
factors must be present in greatly in
creased abundance.
Necessity Of Strong Colonies.
As in the case of wintering outdoors,
II is wasteful to attempt to winter
weak colonies. 1t Is difficult to set
standards of colony strength at this
season, but it is unwise to attempt
to winter colonies that are not strong
enough to have brood sufficient to fill
three or four Langstroth frames two
months before the first killing frost.
II the colonies in the apiary are not of
the proper strength. 1t Is wise to unite
until the proper strength is reached.
1t is of the greatest Importance that
every colony have good queen in or
der that brood rearing may continue
In the fall and may then again proceed
rapidly in the spring. Usually 1t is
best to requiem at least every two
wears, but If good wintering is prac-
ticed the colonies will come out of win
ter quarters so strong and will build
up SO rapidly in the spring that the
queens will soon wear out, making it
safer to requiem every year. To get
the best results from requeening, all
Young queens should be introduced so
that they begin to lay about two
months before the first killing frost.

DOESN'T STIMULATE GROWTH
Admonition Frequently Heard From
Authorities Is Not to Feed Pigs
Too Much Corn.

Do not feed pigs too much corn
while they are young. This is an ad-
monition we frequently hear from au-
thorities on pig raising. Here is the
reason why: Corn is fat-producing
feed and does not stimulate growth.
What is needed is protein feed; that
is, one which ranks high in protein.

The danger from the pink bollworm
had long been recognized, and regula-
tions We're made by the government
requiring the fumigation of all cotton
from foreign countries before 1t could
be landed in the United States. Ev-
cry possible precautionary measure
was taken, but there came one thing
against which even the government
could not guard. The great storm
that ravaged the Gulf country in 1915
washed ashore around Trinity Bay.
and possibly elsewhere on the Texas
coast, great quantities of cotton lint
and cotton seed.
Nobody gave any special thought to
the matter at the moment, but when
the next year the pink bollworm ap-
peared all around the bay. it became
apparent that some of the washed-up
cotton must have come across the
Gulf from the Laguna district of Mex
leo. where the pest had gained a foot
ing some time earlier. That may not
have been the only source of infesta-
ton. but 1t was the one that gave the
greater part of the trouble.
An oil mill at Hearne had received
some seed from Mexico in 1916. and
the bollworm appeared in a few fields
in the immediate neighborhood of the
mill. The infestation nt this point
was entirely eliminated in short order.
however. by uprooting and burning all
growing cotton, collecting and burning
all scattered parts. the prompt milling
and destruction of the seed. and the
shipment to Europe of the harvested
lint.
A mill at Beaumont, too, had re-
ceived seed from Mexico and had vio-
lated its agreement to use 1t only for
milling. 1t developed that some of
this seed was sold to planters through
out radius of 20 or 30 miles from
the mill. Each sale was traced and
the surrounding district included in
the cleanup operations.
But it was the washed-up cotton in
festation at Trinity Bay that developed
the really alarming situation. involving
more than 5000 acres of cotton sur
rounding the bay, and 1t was there
that the really big operations were
undertaken.
A large force of experts and labor
ers-nOt less than 500 negroes-with
the voluntary assistance of any num-
ber of farmers and members of their
families, was assembled, camps were
established, and the cleanup was be
gun on a thoroughly systematized plan
that involved every inch of surface,
to make sure that no lurking place was
left for larva to winter. All the
cotton grown in this area was taken
to Galveston under supervision and
shipped to foreign countries. All seed
was milled under the direction of gov
ernment agents. The work ended
with the whole area as clean MS the
top of a table.
The result. naturally, was awaited
with much anxiety. In the spring of
1918 the entire area was watched. The
planting of cotton was prohibited. of
course. and every stalk of volunteer
cotton was pulled up and destroyed af-

ter careful examination. At the END
of the season the reports of all the
investigators showed that absolutely
no evidence of the presence of the
bollwOrm could be found.
But the success of the campaign will
not be regarded as absolutely certain
until two other summers have passed.
In the meantime the quarantine will
be vigorously enforced.
Prior to the discovery of the actual
presence of the pink bollworm in Tex
as the state. taking precautions
against its presence not far away in
Mexico, had enacted legislation giving
authority to establish zone free from
cotton culture on the border of Texas
adjacent to Mexico. Since that time.
quarantine and cotton-free zones have
been declared In three areas.
The normal planting of cotton In the
largest of these areas is about $4,000
acres and the inability to plant has.
of course, entailed hardship on the
planters. Indlviduals-137 to be ex-
act-disregarded the law and planted
some cotton, total of a few hundred
acres. Legal action was taken against
them and they have since signed an
agreement to bear all the cost of clean
ing up their farms, under the super
vision of government inspectors, and
to leave the disposal of the cotton
grown absolutely in the hands of the
authorities.
1t is interesting to note that n con-
siderable number of these so-called
outlaw cotton fields were discovered
by aerial observation. Much of the
country In the infested areas is heav-
lily tImbered. Roads are neither plen-
tiful nor good In many places. and 1t
was possible for an outlaw planter to
tuck away few acres of cotton in
some nook of the woods beyond prob
ability of discovery by ordinary means.
This gave the inspectors of the fed
eral horticultural board the idea Of
using airplane observers to spy out the
hidden fields. The scheme worked ad-
mirably, the first flight alone reveal
ing no less than seven outlaw cotton
fields which had escaped discovery by
all other means.
While n feeling of reasonable safety
Is justifable as to the elimination Of
the bollwOrm from Texas, the danger
of new infestation remains so long
as the bollworm exists in Mexico. and.
therefore, extreme vigilance will not
be relaxed. All railway cars and 9th
er vehicles coming across the line are
inspected, cleaned. and fumigated
The disinfection of cars and freight
with gas from generators placed with
in the cars has been discarded as CIV
ing no security against insects that
might be resting on the exterior of
cars. Dlsinfection houses have been
erected into which cars are run and
disinfected both internally and exter-
nally.
The question is now raised: Has
the recent Gulf Of Mexico hurricane
brought the pest agaIn to the Texas
shore? The storm ravaged the Gulf
shore from Brownsville beyond to
Key West. II the storm Of 1915
brought the pest to the American
shore from Mexico, why should not the
same conditions now obtain?

and as requiring no patience worth

But that is exactly what the United
States department of agriculture. with
the help of the state authorities of
Texas did in the campaign for the
elimination of the pink bollwOrm of
cotton. 1t was done so successfully
that not single egg, larva, or moth
of the pink bollworm appeared in 191S,
result that appears to justify the
characterization of the job rs the big
gest successful chronological expert
1nent of its kind in history.
When 1t was first found that the
pink bollworm of cotton had gained
n footing upon the soil of the United
States. the CONSERVATION that resulted
was hardly less than it would have
been u the discovery had been made
that German gunboats were coming up
the Mississippi river. But the con-
sternatiOn was among agricultural
scientists. The general public did not
know the desperate danger. The scien-
fists knew, however, that, unless
checked. the little bollworm meant an
annual loss of not less than $5O.OOO.-
600, II, indeed. 1t did not threaten the
existence of the cotton industry, and
their alarm was not materially less
ened because the infested area was
limited to small AREAS around Trinity
Bay. Beaumont, and Hearne. Texas.
For the pink bollworm spreads. not
by Yards or acres, but by hundreds of
miles at leap. The chief agent of
dissemination being man with his rail-
road trains. the distance from Texas

practically every ttongrowing coun-

aIl enemies of cotton, often reducing
the yield of lint by 30 per cent and
sometimes by more than so per cent,
and greatly lessenng the quantity of
oil produced from the seed. In the
Hawaiian Islands the cotton industry
has been practically abandoned be-
cause of II and wherever 1t has gone
the indrstry has suffered terribly.
That is why the department of agri-
culture, when the worm appeared In
Texas, thought 1t worth while to un-
