GOOD QUALITIES OF

Abate Nuisance.

The crow Is best known by the I'M
favorable reputation 1t has acquired In
: the corn field, the poultry yard and
through its attacks on other crops be-
sides corn. 1t, however, carries on a
warfare against certain insect enemies
of the farmer. Indiscriminate killing
Is not warranted, and even In areas
where the crow Is doing harm prevent
I've measures will often put a stop to
the nuisance and allow the bird to con-
tinue what good work 1t may be do
Ing on insects. Among the preventive
measures suggested by the United
States Department OF Agriculture are
]. The use Of coal tar and other de-
torrents on seed grain.
2. Scattering grain over fields where
the crop Is just sprouting.
3. Stretching Irvine about and across
fields from poles stationed at intervals.
network Of such strands is often ef-
fective In protecting poultry yards.
4. The use Of frightening devices
and the hanging up Of the dead bodies
OF crows In conspicuous places.
In places where more drastic meas
ures are necessary the killing of even
few crows will intimldate others and
these will usually shun the area for
some time. Such procedures include
l. The use OF poison (strychnine) In
places where this is permitted by law.
Corn and hens eggs are the most ef-
fective bats.
2 Trapping by means of steel traps,
carefully concealed and baited with
heps' eggs.
5. Destroying nests-a measure that
will most frequently put stop to the
poultry-raiding activities of a pair OF
crows which have their nest nearby.
4. ShoOting-the hunter being aided
by the use of crow call, and. where
possible, also by mounted owl placed
conspicuously on pole Several night

with shotguns will frequently remove

LARGE VALUE OF DAT STRAW
Superior to Timothy Hay for Feeding
Dairy Cows Because Of Larger
Amount OF Protein.

According to average analyses, IW
pounds of oat hay will contain the
following digestible nutrients; Az
pounds of protein, 1871 pounds of car
bohydrates, and 1T pounds Of fat; OF
total Of 46.4 pounds of digestibls
nutrients. This hay will be superior
to timothy for feeding dairy cows be
cause it contains over one-third more
protein. This will hold particularly
true where protein feeds are high IL
price and difficult to secure. Ord
narily carbohydrate feeds, such as corr
and barley. are relatively cheaper IL
price than protein feeds, such u
gluten and Oil meal, which are neces
sary to supplement rations Of corr
silage and timothy hay.
Glover and alfalfa hay are superior
to oat hay. but mixed timothy anf
clover is practically the same in feed
Ing value as oat hay.
To obtain the best quality Of hay
the oats should be cut when in the
flower or when the grain is In the
early milk stage. If left until later
stage, the stems and leaves become
somewhat more indigestible and are
less palatable. Also the protein con-
tent Is somewhat less where the grain
Is allowed to practically reach matur-
ity.

SUCCESS WITH SUDAN GRASS
Crop Can Be Grown In Nearly All
Sections Of Country-it 10 lmpor.
tant ~ Catch Crop.

Sudan grass is being successfully
grown In nearly all parts of the Unit
ed States. 1t does not serve well eth
er as a money crop" or a soil i'm
proven, hence 1t may never find per-
manent place in regular crop rota-
items. 1t has, nevertheless, a very I'm
portant place in the farmers second
line Of defense as a catch crop which
can be planted to give satisfactory re-
turns when conditions have brought
failure to other hay crops.
Sudan grass Is replacing millet as
the premier catch crop In many locali-
ties because OF Its ability to produce
a fair yield and a high quality Of
hay under conditions OF low rainfall.
Its rather short growing season. and
Its ability to thrive on wide range
of soil types. Large yields of Sudan
grass are obtained only on good soils
but the grass fails completely only
on cold, poorly drained land.

They have multiplied SO that today

than $1O00,OO0 day. Their havoc

Of the more important ones that are
native to the United States Like
many other baneful things, insect pests
and diseases have followed the course
Of civilization. They are carried In
many ways from one country to an
other, and 1t Is the work Of the De-,
partment Of Agriculture to guard the
United States against their entry and
to prevent their spread once they
they make their appearance here.
While many of the pests have come
FROM European countries, Asia has
contributed its share OF them. Prom

activities Is the San Jose scale, which

Some idea OF the burden which this
Insect puts upon the orchardists Of
the United States can be had when it
Is realized that the expenditures for
apparatus and spraying amount to APP
proximately $10,O0O0O0 annually. In
addition to this are the losses that the
insect causes In spite OF this control
treatment, and they are very large.
especially In small orchards and house

commonly practiced. This insect
