Farm Bookkeeping

An increase of nearly fifty per cent in She production of each worker in any industry in one years time would be a startling result of the adoption of efficiency methods. A dairyman in western Connecticut has accomplished such an increase as the result of the adoption of simple accounting meth cd designed to give daily report Of the production of each of his workers his cows.
 As q consequence of changes in the makeup and the management of his herd, resulting from his knowledge of the facts revealed by the accounts, he sold $2o2 worth of butter from each COW in the year ending April 1, 1920, instead of the s131 worth of butter per COW sold the previous year.
 A minor part of this increase was due, it is true, to slight advance in the price of butter, but most of it re- suited from improved business meth ods. In the face of increased costs due to higher prices of labor and sup plies, the dairyman was able to in- crease his net earnings by several hundred dollars by the intelligent use of accounting

In order to reduce the consumption of sugar and thus force down the price, Mrs. James J. Grace, State Chairman, Woman's Committee, De partment of Justice, urges the women to use the following instructions, pre- pared by Miss Laura Clifford, Home Demonstration Agent. Hartford Coun- ty Farm Bureau, for canning fruit without sugar.
 There are a number of reasons why it seems especially necessary for housekeepers to can and to store this summer.-the high price of canned goods, the scarcity of labor, and the high price of sugar We realize more than ever before, the need of fruit and vegetables in the diet, especially the diet of children Through canning, a greater variety of vegetables and fruits are possible during the winter months than would otherwise be pos sible. All fruits contain sugar, some more than others When we eat fruit, either raw or canned. we fur nish ourselves with part of the sugar which Is needed by the body.
 Sherwood P Snyder says: Some women seem to think that in order to have fruit keep, the addition of sugar is absolutely necessary. This Is a very erroneous belief. The sugar added has nothing to do with the keeping qualities of canned fruit un. less boiled down to the consistency oi preserves. Fruits may be canned just as successfully without sugar as witt sugar. and about the only difference | that sugar must be added when th' fruit is opened. instead of having add cd it when the fruit was canned.
 Some people prefer the flavor o1 fruit if the sugar is added to 1t when canned. but other people are just as partial to the flavor of fruit that has been canned without sugar and then sweetened when the cans are opened. The flavor resembles more nearly that of fresh fruit if the sugar is added to t when the can is opened and then al owed tn stand for four or five hours

Spray Potatoes

Everybody remembers the diseased crop of potatoes that was produced last fall Many hardly got their seed back.
 There were. however, some that made decided success. The County Agent knows of l5.000 bushel crop grown last year that was one of the best ever grown on the farm, while all about this farm were crops that routed badly.
 None can tell positively whether there will be late blight epidemic m the potato crop this fall or not, as was the case last fall; but it would be good crop insurance, as was the case on the farm where 1 ., 900 bushels of A No. 1 potatoes were raised last year, to spray with Bordeaux as they did on that farm-a 5-5-50 solution.

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL AND
 FARM BUREAU NEWS

When canning fruit for pie filling there is an added advantage in can ming it without sugar. If the sugar is added when the fruit is canned and can spells not only the fruit, but the sugar is also lost; hence It is the part of economy to can all fruits that are likely to be used for pie filling without sugar" Other sweetening besides sugar can be used for pies.
 Use the time table prepared by the U. s. Department of Agriculture for the sterilization of both fruits and vegetables These bulletins can be procured at your County Farm Bu- reau.
 The Woman's Committee. Depart ment Of Justice, is also urging one half curtailment of candy, soft drinks, chewing gum, etc, for the purpose of reducing demand for sugar and thus reducing the price.

Some Common Crop Pests.

The following article is intended
for control measures for the red
spider, cotton aphis and army worm.
Taking up the red spider first, which
appears in spots turning the cotton
reddish brown color, can. be easily
recognized by the web and the small
red spider-like insect. Start control
measures when they first appear by
pulling and burning the badly infest-
ed stalks and spraying with "black
leaf 40" After they have covered a
field it is hardly advisable to try to
control them other than confine them
to that one field which can be done
by not allowing any carrier to 60
from an infested field to non-infest-
ed field such as plow hands or other
person passing through the field. The
size of the area to be sprayed can be
determined by looking on the under
side of the foliage and locating the
insects.
The cotton aphis is a small green
louse commonly seen on cotton in the
early spring. They attack late cotton
generally causing a honey dew to be
deposited On the foliage. They can
be controlled with the ''black leaf 40'
spray. In making up this spray use
one pound of soap to fifty gallons of
water in order to get good mixture.
The army worm is the most import
ant pest Of the three. 1t is dark
brown worm with light stripes on its
sides running lengthwise. They are
chewing insects attacking crab grass
prefeGa bly,. but any grass is liable
to be attacked, in many cases eating
it up in three Or four days and dis
appearing by burrowing into the
ground where they change into the
moth that lays the eggs. This insect
can be destroyed by spraying with
arsenate OF lead, two lbs. to so gal
Ions of water On infested areas
where there is no crop to be harvest
ed use pounds of Paris green to
so gallons of water. All stock should
be kept off until rain washes the
p..son off. For detail information
government bulletins should be OBJ
tanned on the pest
