WORMS ON CURRANT
AND GOOSEBERRY BUSHES

Numerous inquiries are being re-
ceived by the Missouri College of Ag-
riculture from those who anticipate
injury from the small green and back
spotted worms which eat the leaves of
currant and gooseberry bushes. Soon
after the leaves appear on currants
and gooseberries this pest may be ex-
pected to begin it's work.
The pest is known as the imported
currant worm or sawfy, says L. Hase--
man of the University of Missouri
College Of Agriculture. 1t is a wasp
like insect though the feeding stage
closely resembles real caterpillar.
1t passes the winter in a cocoon in the
rubbish under or near the bushes. Ear
" spring cleanup work in the gar
den will get rid of most of the over
wintering stages. The small dark
colored wasp-like adult places her eggs
within the tissues of the leaves by
means of a small sharp drill, which
corresponds to the sting of bees and
wasps. These eggs soon hatch and the
small worms usually feed unobserved
for several days down in the center Of
the bushes. Examine the bushes care
fully for the early work of these
small worms and when found, apply
poison spray or dust for killing them.
Hellebore, brown vegetable poison,
was formerly used for this pest. 1t
soon loses its strength on being ex-
posed and as a consequence it is diff
ficult to get the material fresh enough
to give results. Arsenate of lead is
now most commonly used for this
pest. When the leaves are moist with
dew equal parts of powdered arsenate
of lead and -four or air-slacked lime
may be lightly busted over the bush
/! es. If paste arsenate' of lead is at
hand rather than the powder form
use tablespoonful of the paste to a
gallon of water and spray it on lightly
| If a sprayer is not available use 9
handful Of straw or grass or a small
broom for whipping" it on lightly
The poison should be put on when the
fruit is still small. 1t is always wei
to thoroughly wash the fruit from
treated bushes.

STORING BARNARD MANURE

The principal sources of loss in
plant food from manure are through
teaching, fermentation and scattering,
and if manure is to be stored, all prac-
teal precautions should be taken to
keep down loss from any of these
agencies. An important point to con-
slider in storing manure is the cost OF
handling. Handling manure increas-
es the expense and at the same time
lowers the value of the manure since
the forking over of compacted manure
exposes it to the air and gives the ma
terial better chance to ferment and
decay. For these reasons it is best to
leave manure undisturbed where pro-
duced, so far as possible, until it can
be hauled to the field, says F. l.. Du-
ley of the University of Missouri Col
lcge of Agriculture.
Where animals are confined in stalls
or covered feeding yards the manure
may be allowed to accumulate for sew
eral months and be hauled out only
once or twice year, with a compare.
lively small loss of plant food. Ii
plenty of bedding is used it will alb
sorb the liquid manure and the tramp
| ling of the animals will keep TINS
compact and moist so as to prevent
much of the aerobic fermentation and
consequent loss of nitrogen. Ii ma
nure is left in the stall or feed yard
where it will be kept moist and thor
oughly tramped, so as to exclude the
air, there is no better method Of stor-
ing. Since there is no teaching under
these conditions there will be prac-
tically no loss of phosphorus or pot
ash. The covered feed yard is ex-
tensively used in some parts OF the
country and deserves more attention
in Missouri. -
This method of handling manure is
advisable mainly where well bedded
stalls are provided for horses, and in
cattle sheds or mule barns where the
animals run loose and the trampling is
very thorough.

accumulations begin to separate in the
blood and are then expelled through
the eliminative organs.
In place of the impurities, the ar

INSECTS AND DISEASES
IN THE GARDEN

Insects which attack vegetables may
be divided into two groups-those
which eat or chew the leaves or fruit,
and those which suck the plant juices.
Biting insects may be poisoned by
spraying the plants with poisonous So
lutions or by busting them with poison
powders. Potato beetles, flea beetles,
cabbage worms, striped cucumber
beetles and similar biting insects may
be heidi ncheck by spraying the
plants with arsenate of lead paste at
the rate of two pounds to fifty gal
lonso water. The spray sticks bet
ter. especially on smooth plants like
cabbage, if little soap or molasses is
dissolved in the spray. The arsenate
of lead may be obtained as dry pow
der, mixed in a quantity of flour or
air-slacked lime and busted on the
plants.
Sucking insects like plant lice may
be held in check by spraying with
soap suds, kerosene emulsion or to-
bacco decoction. Most insects are al
so repealed to a greater or less degree
by the presence of fine dust, which
tendst close their breathing pores.
For that reason, it is best to keep
the surface soil well titled to maintain
a dry, surface dust mulch. Wood ash
es, air-slacked lime, insect powder or
tobacco dust sprinkled on and about
the plants also help to keep down in
sects.
Most fungous diseases such as eel
cry rust and potato blight, may be
held in check by spraying with bor-
deaux mixture; four pounds copper
sulphate, four pounds lime, fifty gal
Ions water.
Where both insects and fungi are
present, it is well to add two pounds
of arsenate of lead paste to the fifty
gallons of bordeaux mixture. This
combination spray list be recommend
ed especially for potatoes to contro
the potato beetle and potato blight

FIFTY HONOR COWS IN MARCH

"The Missouri Honor Cows are still
going forward on high speed with all

was thought that we We're going to

ty-five," said Chas. W. Turner, super:
intendent Of official testing. SIN
March our hopes were doubled for
during the month so cows in the herds
of II breeds produced over three
pounds Of fat during the two days I'M
der test by representatives of the
Dairy Department of the University
of Missouri"
Raleigh's Eminent Buttercup, Jer-
sey owned by Longview Farm, heads
the list with the fine production OF
1873 pounds of milk and 5.254 pounds
of fat. Raleigh's Rosabel from the
same herd comes second with S7.e
pounds of milk and 4.745 pounds OF
fat. Bisson's Fancy Zula Sd, Jer-
sey owned by Robt, Busch of Eureka
comes third with Ola pounds of milk
and 4.729 pounds of fat. Betty Mer-
cedes Ormsby, a Holstein owned by
Glenn Davis of Columbia, stands
fourth with 1925 pounds of milk anc
t.672 pounds of fat. Nancy Bort De.
Kol Paul, owned by C. E. Driver, Ores
cent, is the second high Holstein COW
with 1888 pounds of milk and 4.40s
pounds of fat. Included in the fifty
honor cows are twelve which produced
over four pounds of fat and one which
produced over pounds. Next yea
our goal is set for 80 cows in a four
pound honor roll.
Missouri is wonderful dairy coun
