ISSUANCE OF CROP REPORTS
United States Figures TeIesraphed to

Given to Papers.

prepared by United States Department
of Agriculture
Each field agent of the bureau of
crop estimates, United States depart
ment of agriculture, now publishes a
crop report from his own territory.
Immediately upon the issuance of a
crop report In Washington the United
States figures are telegraphed to each
agent, together with figures for his
particular territory. The agent at
once issues mimeograph report with
comments on crop and weather condi-
tons in his state, copies of which are
furnished to the press and to crop re-
porters and published in full in many
dailies In some of the states agents
now are issuing reports on a county
basis. The service is winning warm
appreciation.
For this service in securing quickly
reliable reports along special lines de-
cided improvements have been made in
the organization of this bureau. Field
agents of demonstrated ability have
been employed; their offices supplied
with clerks. telephones and other time
saving equipment; and every field
agent has a Monograph and an adj
dressing machine. The field man now
is able promptly to make both general
and restricted special Investigations.

WET LANDS ARE PRODUCTIVE
Most Fertile When Soil Moisture Is
Properly ControIled-Drainage
Is Recommended.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrculture)
Wet areas in cultivated farm lands
usually are the most fertile when the
soil moisture is properly controlled, be.
cause generally they are depressiors
in which more % less of the richest
soil from surrounding fields has sen
washed. Farm drainage transfers
these unproductive places into highly
productive land. thus increasing his
profitable area and the acre yield,
while removing obstacles that increa Sc
the time and effort required for farm
operations.
Recognizing the Importance of this
possible conservation of man power,
the drainage division OF the bureau OF
public roads recently has given first
consideration TO projects looking to the
Improvement of lands already under
some degree of cultivation or needing
only drainage TO prepare them for the

Since separate skirts for spring have
blossomed out in airy fabrics-organ-
die, georgette and light creepy silks
there is but one character of blouse to
wear with them. Al: the signposts of
the highways leading springward point
to dainty apparel of beautiful texture
and fiowerlike coloring. Severity, even
in tailored-made things is to be tenn
pered by the sheerness and colorful-
ness of fabrics. Restrictions on raw
materials are removed and the reac-
ton from wartime's plain and quiet
dressing, has set in.
There is a great variety of new
styles in blouses and in the materials
of which they are made. In cottons
there are examples in batiste, dimity

cotton waist just now there seem to be
two of georgette crepe-such is the
high regard in which women hold this
beautiful fabric. Plated frills, fine
tucks, filet and other laces sparingly
used are the chief items of ornamental

continue long. There are some ex-
amples in the new models that fasten
in the back. The slipover styles are

Flowing Infested Fields
Where it is not practical to pillow in
tested fields, such us ground in clover
or alfalfa, they should be thoroughly
disked in the fall or winter and har-
rowed early in March of the following
year. In Indiana clover and alfalfa
fields are among the best breeding
places for grasshOppers.
The poisoned bait recommended con-
sists of bran or sawdust made tasty
and attractive by the addition of mo-
lasses and fruit and treated With an
arSenical poison. The following for
mula is recommended:
Bran (half-and-half bran and hard
wood sawdust, or sawdust alOne), %
pounds paris green or crude arseniouS
oxide, one pound, or white arsenic, 1 II
pounds; molasses (cheap feeding
grade), two quarts; lemons, bananas
or oranges, six fruits, or one ounce of
cheap lemon extract; water, about two
TO four gallons.
The poison should be thoroughly
mixed with the bran. The water, mo-
lasses and finely chopped fruit or eX
tract are then mixed and added. The
mixture should be wet so that 1t molds
in the hands, but is not "sOppy." The
bait should be scattered broadcast at
the rate of seven to ten pounds TO the
acre, applications being made in the
early morning.
In clover or alfalfa i.2t,CA material
and labor can be saved by first cutting
around the field until there remains
small central uncut area where the
grasshOppers will have gathered and
may be quickly and cheaply destroyed
by the poisoned bait If the grasshop-
pers are feeding in corn or young trees,
more water, or, better. more molasses
and water, should be added and the
mixture thrown forcefully so that the
particles will adhere to the crops to be-
protected.
