HOME OF THE WATERMELON
Monticello, in Florida, Rightly Claims
to Be Worlds Greatest Market
for the Seed.

jefferson county, Florida, Of which
Monticello is the county seat, is the
home of the watermelon seed indus
try of the United States,' declares the
Monticello News. ut could be said
that this is the home of the industry
for the world, for this county grows
more watermelons for seed purposes
than any other section, and more wa
termelons are grown in North Amer
lea than anywhere else"
The News gives some figures on the
proposition and no doubt a good many
people would he surprised to know
that of the ten thousand acres utilized
in the United States for growing wa
termelons for seed. Jefferson county,
Florida, has more than eight thousand
acres busy toward that end 1t is the
only place in the world where an or
der for n carload of watermelon seed
can be filled-and such orders are
often filed and the cars go out of
Monticello.

mass to stiff dough by adding low
grade molasses or strip, preferably
molasses, and scatter the mixture
broadcast in small pieces throughout
the infested field.
In case the worms are not discov-
cred until they have begun to travel
in mass, usually they can be destroy
ed by furrOwing or ditching complete
ly around the infested area.
Summary of Control Measures for the
Army Worm.
1. Watch fields of growing grass
and grain carefully, especially the
meadows, during the spring and early
summer months, to discover the army
worms before they become full grown
and spread over the entire farm.
When the worms are discovered at
work, do not lose a minute, but attack
them vigorously by means of the meas
ures outlined in foregoing paragraphs.
2. Poison them by spraying crops
not intended for forage with one
pound of paris green to so gallons of
water, or with two pounds of pow
dered arsenate of lead to 80 gallons
of water. In case the paris green is,
used on tender plants, like corn, add
two pounds of freshly-slaked lime to
30 gallons Of the mixture. This is to
prevent burning the tender plants.
Where spraying is not practicable,
the use of the pOisoned-bran bait al
ready mentioned is strongly recon-
mended.
3. In case the worms are crawling
in a body, surround them with a fur
row or ditch and crush them with q
log drag as they fall into it.

soil is moved down the side slopes by
cultivation. As a result. the terraces
are more liable to break and much
more maintenance work Is required
than where the rows are run parallel
to the terraces.
All terraces that are cultivated
should be plowed at least once a year.
and the soil should be thrown to the
center. In this way the height of the
terrace is kept up and the base may
lie broadened each year
Steep land that washes badly be
tween the terraces should not be cul-
tivated. The terraces should first be
well built and the entire field seeded
to grass and used for pasture or
meadow.
When it is found necessary to cross
a farm road in terracing a field, the
building Of the terraces should be con-
tinued across without regard to the
road. Where the terraces are as much
az 20 feet broad, no provision need be
made for passing traffic across them,
but they should be carefully main
tanned 10 prevent possible breaks.
Where the terraces are not more than
ten feet broad, considerable inconveni-
ence to traffic and injury 10 the ter
races generally results where no pro-
vision for crossing is made. Some
times the water is carried under the
roadway by culvert, but the principal
objections to this are that the capac-
ity of the waterway is greatly reduced
and the free flow of the water through
the culvert is often INSTRUCTED by
stalks or other trash washed from the
field. A wooden bridge spanning the
channel, so as not to reduce very much
the cross-sectiOnal area of the water
way, makes a more desirable and sat
isfactory crossing.

A Catfish Story.

An old colOred man at Jefferson City
caught a twO-pOund catfish and was so
well satisfied with his skill as a fisher
man that he lay down and took a nap,
with the fish beside him. Another
moke came along soon after, picked up
the fish and left a half-pound one in
its place. When the colOred man woke
up, the first thing his eyes sought was
the fish, and it took him several sec
onds to realize what had happened
Then, turning the fish over and scru-
tinizing it very closely, he exclaimed:

prepared by the United States Depart

Terraces require considerable care
and attention, especially during the
first year, before the loose soil has had
time to become settled thoroughly.
All apparently weak places should be
visited after every heavy rain, and
any breaks should be repaired immedi-
ately with shovel. 1t is best not to
cultivate the terraces the first year,
but to seed them to some kind of cover
crop.
1t is advisable to run the crop rows
parallel to the terraces, one row be-
ing planted on top of the terrace. The
cultivation of the top row tends to
keep the top of the terrace at the
proper height. Where the rows are

PREVENT INJURY
BY ARMY WORMS
Important That Pest Be DiscoV-
cred Before Crops Have Been
Seriously Damaged.
EXAMINE MEADOWS CLOSELY
Grass or Grain Should Be Carefully
Inspected to Detect Presence of
CaterpiIars-Poisoned Bats
May Be Used.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Watchfulness is the key to success
in cases of invasion by army worms,
which are young of certain moths or
millers that fly only at night. The
eggs from which the army worms
hatch are laid commonly on grasses
or grasslike grains and the tiny cater
pillars, upon Matching, feed for several
days near the ground, hidden by over
hanging grasses or grains and thus
may escape notice until nearly full
grown, by which time they have be-
come widely distributed over the in
tested fields.
Upon the discovery of the pest in its
younger stages depends very largely
the possibility of stamping out infes-
tations before serious injury to crops
has occurred. Meadows therefore
should be examined frequently, partic-
ularly those planted TO timothy blue
grass, wheat, and especially millet, to
discover the young worms.
If the infested spot be small, the grass
or grain can be moved off and straw
scattered over the spot and burned,
thus destroying the worms. If the
caterpillars have become distributed
over a considerable area, this can be
marked off by stakes and the crop
sprayed heavily with a solution Of
paris green at the rate of one pound
to 30 gallons of water, or of arsenate
Of lead at the rate of two pounds
of the paste or one pound of the pow
der TO so gallons of water.
Poisoned Bats for the Army Worm.
Poisoned bats have long been used
as a means of destroying the numer-
Gus species of cutworms and also the
army worm. An efficient bait of this
kind may be prepared and used as fol-
