Banding the trunks and large limbs
of apple trees with strips of cloth has
been practiced extensively for the con-
troll of the codling moth. This method
consists of fastening band of cloth
around the trunk, from which the loose
bark has been removed. Usually Il band
made from burlap, folded TO three
thicknesses to s inches wide, is used
The codling moth larva, or worms,
crawl beneath the band to form their
cocoons and should be destroyed at in
tes.vals of ten days throughout the sea-

$4,000 Poultry Club"

What. is a $1,000 poultry club! Ten
girls and boys in Litchfeld 'ouhty,
Conn.,, have formed one, and it has for
it's aim the clearing of $1,000 in one
year on the poultry owned by the CID
members. The ten youths are members
of boys and girls clubs, supervised by
the United States department OF aSrl-
culture and the state agricultural col
lege. They own altogether $50 birds,
and they are determined to realize
their expectations. The members decld-
ed an extension school would be OF as
sistance in their work and, undeterred
by the fact that Junior extension
school, had never been conducted in
Connecticut before, asked for one from
the state college and got it. The, at
tendance throughout the course was ex-
cellent and the interest keen. Now the
81 900 club is busy putting into prac-
tice some Of the hints on making mon
ey with hens given them by the poultry

Horse Still 4 Going Concern.


Horses are hardly maintaining their
number on farms in this country, Ill
consequence of the auto truck, the auto
mobile and the needs of the war, ana
vet there are nearly as many III the
country now as year ago, ACCORDING
TO the bureau of crop estimates OF the
United States department OF agricul-
ture. Furthermore, there'are now one
third of a million more than at the be-
ginning of the war. 1t was expectee'
that war would stampede the horse
market in this country and would SEM
prices high enough to rob the farms OF
a large number of much needed WORK
animals, but there was no such shock
as was expected. From 1910 to 1915
horses on farms increased little each
year, usually over one per cent, ana
since 1915 the increase of four years
has apparently been over 100000. The
present total, according to the estimate,
is 21.534, 900 horses. The exports OF
horses during the war to December 81
1918, have been slightly more than
/ 100000: at the pre-war rate the
normal exports would have been about
100000. AS far as covered by domestic
exports, the war made an extra demand
on farmers for almost 100000 horses
To this must be added an extra de-
mand of the United States government
BY January II, 1919, the war depart
ment had shipped overseas nearly 3d.
O06 horses, and on November 2, 1913,
that department had in this country
nearly 10000 horses. The apparent
figures Of extra demand on the farmers
of the United States by this country
and the allies for horses on account OF
the war make a total Of about 1.lOO,-
600 horses in exports and in the SER

vice of the war department. The actual
number is greater by the normal ex-
ports, and hence about 100000 horses
are indicated as the horse contribution
of the farms to the war, not including
private purchases and the United
States government outside of the war
department.

Use Alsike Instead Of Red Clover.

Because of the shortage OF red clover
seed farmers are advised by the United
States department of agriculture to
substitute alsike for red clover III
their spring seeding operations. On the
basis of present market prices two
acres can be seeded with alsike for
what it would cost to seed one acre to
red clover. Farmers who purchase clio
yer seed should require the scotsman
to sell these seed under label, present
ing the termination, purity, date OF
termination test and, in some instan-
ces, the point of origin of the seed. a
special agreement between the secre-
tary of agriculture and the domestic
seed trade provides that seedsmen dis
tribute their seeds under label. Far
mers should see that merchants live up
to this agreement. The shortage OF req
clover seed, the department explains
results from more clover hay being
made than last year, decreased imports
of seed, the unfavOrable season last
wear and the breaking of clover sods
for wheat.
