PLANT MORE VELVET BEANS


The most serious drawback to
the more extensive planting OF
velvet beans, especially in the Pc
ninsular part of the State, has
been the velvet bean caterpillar.
The moths fly up each summer
from the extreme southern part
of the state, each generation
reaching further north. With the
death Of the velvet beans, how
ever, all breeding stops, and the
moths die out in the course of six
or eight weeks. During winter
with an early killing frost which
which extends far down the PENN
sula, the race is driven to the ex-
treme southern tip of the state.
Such winter was that of 1918,
and as a result the caterpillars
were late in arriving last year.
But the first killing frost was late
the past winter and January and
February were free from severe
frosts. We may, Therefore, look
for marked increase in the num-
bers of caterpillars the coming
season, according to j, R. Watson,
entomologist at the Experiment
Station. This, however, should
not cause the growers to reduce
the planting, but to make prepare
ton to fight the pest.
The caterpillars easily succumD
to lead arsenate and the rapid de-
velopment of the busting method
of applying insecticides has given
us wide range Of useful ma
chimes and finer duSts, so that the
caterpillar need"fp longer pre-
vent the farmers from planting
this most valuable crop. Although
the caterpillar will hardly do ap-
preciable damage before August
or September, the fight against it
should begin at planting time. The
eerly maturing varieties often
largely escape the ravages of the
caterpillars, but it is not necessary
to sacrifice yields of beans or
vines by selecting small varieties
that make but little vines and few
pods. Although the moths lay
eggs on all varieties, they show a
considerable preference for the
Florida velvet bean over the China
bean even when they are the same
stage Of maturity. The Florida
velvet may therefore be used as a
trap crop whea he main planting
is to be of the China bean.
Plant some Florida velvet beans
, about the edges of the fields or in
, other easily accessible places
, where they can be readily busted.
These will collect considerably
, more than their share of caterpil-
lars. By this means the necessity
, of busting the whole field may Of
, ten be avoided. In planting a
large field, driveways should be
left every 100 feet. This will
make it much easier to drive
, through the field with a power
busting machine.
The busting machine and the
dust should be ordered soon. For
, the grower with small acreage
the hand busters will do, but the
large planter will want to pur-
chase power buster which can
DC mounted on wagon. The ma
terials are finely powdered lead
arsenatc and air-slacked or n.y.
. drafted lime. The cost of mater
ials and labor should not exceed
$50 per acre per application.
Ordinarily single application
will be sufficient.

Washington, Feb. II. - The aged and disabled of Gotham are now coming into their own. Old Father Knickerbocker will have to change his gait to keep up with the "Old Guys" who formerly tramped Broad way and Fifth Avenue hunting the job which was always just around the corner. The gray-haired half centenarians and the just able to get arounds' are receiving special at tention from the Handicap Section of the U. s. Employment Service.
 During the week ending February 1st in New York. 155 men whose ave rage age was 51 were placed into po- sitions of permanency, paying an ave rage wage of $22.61 per week. The lowest salary was $15.00 per week, and the highest $65.00.
 Victor T. J. Cannon, head of the Handicap Section reports that 331 persons were directly dependent upon | these 15S men. and the average length of unemployment per individ- ual was 39 working days. Two of the old men were past 70 years of age. MT. Cannon has appointed Miss Anna B. Roberts of New York city, state assistant, and has made tenta- 1 tive cooperating plans with some of the most prominent business and

MEMORIALS TO SOLDIERS.

One hundred tflirty-two health cen- ters in S4 different states have al- ready been established as q result of the Children's Year Campaign, which Is being conducted by the Children's Bureau of the U. s. Department of Labor. That such centers might be opened as memorials to our soldiers is the suggestion of the Federation of Parent-Teachers Associations of two New York counties. In discuss ing the plans for a memorial to the men of their section the Association resolved that, as the American sol diers fought for the rights of the weak and small, a fitting tribute would carry on their work for the helpless.
 The memorial proposed would take the form of a permanent building devoted to the welfare of children
