TO AID RASPBERRY GROWERS
Specialists to Make Thorough lnvestI- oatIon of Diseases In Middle 4
 West Region. fi

Raspberry growers, particularly in the lake region of the middle West, have encountered difficulties resulting from diseases not thoroughly under stood that have seemed to threaten the existence of the industry, unless effective methods of control could be worked out. The United States de- partment of agriculture has been in-. vesttgating the situation for some time past and is about to begin more inten- sIve studies. Specialists will spend practically the entire season In the field, thoroughly Investigating the dis ease to determine the causes and habits of growth and to devise control measures by spraying and otherwise.

How to Establish Contacts
 as in Parcel-Post Marketing

One of the most important re- quirements in parcel-post marketing is the bringing of the producer and the consumer into business contact, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. This may be attained by personal ac- quaintance, through the acquaint- ance of third person, by adver- tising in an appropriately selected paper, by personal canvass, and through the post office in the city or town in which customer is sought.
 Once a satisfactory parcel-post business is established with or through an acquaintance, other customers are likely to be secured through the first one. Advertising frequently may bring the producer into touch with prospective pur- chaser. Some papers run a special parcel-post advertising department or section and brief but we'll worded advertisement often will bring results.
 Another method is for the produ- cer to make personal canvass in residence section of the town or city selected. Good, representative

Grading Adds to Farmers Profits

Grading Adds to Farmers Profits
 When a farmer orders a box of bolts of a certain make and size he does not expect to find thin layer of the bolts specified on the top of the box and assorted bolts under heath. In the world of commerce a manufacturer who pursued such practices would soon be bankrupt.
 The same principle applies to the sale of farm products, say special ists of the Bureau of Markets, Uni ted States Department of Agricul- ture. Before sending produce to market the farmer should sort it as to quality and size. The Bureau of Markets from time to time has rec commended grade specifications for various products, and, wherever these recommendations have been followed, satisfaction and increased monetary returns have generally resulted. For instance, it is estima- ted that in 1919 the potato growers in Virginia increased their profit a half million dollars by grading their produce. Similar results are being obtained in other States.

Rules for Use of Pressure
 Cooker in Cannino Q

Rules for Use of Pressure
 Cooker in Canning in Glass
 To secure the best results in the operation of steam-pressure canners in canning in glass jars, the follow ing precautions should be observed, say canning specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture.
 Place each jar in hot water or in the canner as soon as packed.
 Have the water come to the plat form, but not above it; add hot wat CT occasionally to prevent it's boiling dry before the lid is clamped down.
 Have the canner absolutely steam tight.
 When the canner has been filled, fasten down the lid evenly and moderately tight; then tighten fully.
 Allow the petcock to remain open until live steam escapes from it.; then close completely.
 Force the pressure to the requir- ed point before counting time.
 Maintain a uniform pressure dur ing tho sterilizing period. This may be done by turning down gas or oil flame or moving canner away from the hottest part of the stove.
 Allow the canner to cool unc;, the steam gauge registers zero before opening he petcock.
 Remove lid Ct canGer varT seen after steam gauge registers zero.
 Remove the jars from the canner and tighten the lids as soon as the canner is opened!
 Liquid will be lost from jars dur ing the sterilizing period if steam leaks at the joint and around the fittings; if the pressure is allowed to ,fuctuate, as by running up to IF pounds, down to pounds, and back :. to 10 pounds; if steam is allowed to blow from the petcock during or at the close of the processing period; if vacuum forms in the canner; or if the wire bales on the glass-top jars are so loose that they will not go in with snap.

KEEP OFF HARMFUL RABBITS
Trunks Painted With Mixture of Coal Tar and creosote oil Win Dis
 courage Rodents.

Where rabbits are likely to gnaw young fruit trees, paint the trunks with mixture of coal tar and creo- sote oil. Use two-thirds to three, fourths heavy coal tar and balance of creosote oil, or enough to thin 1t to the. consistency of thick paint. These materials can be bought at paint stores. A paint brush with 5tiff brfs- ties which are pretty we'll worn down is best to apply the tar. It is said that rabbits will not gnaw trees which have been painted with this mixture It is the best paint to use on pruning cuts or wounds.

grackles, cowbirds, and starlings)
 and when local regulations do not
 forbid, the use of shotguns is the
 most effective in bringing relief.
 Shells carrying No. 6 or No. 8 shot
 and loaded with black powder in
 order to make a loud report will
 give the best results. Firing may
 be done with perfect safety even in
 thickly settled sections, if directed
 upward toward the tree tops. In
 large roosts, where the bird popula-
 tion may be as great as 30,000, the
 work of four or five men will be re-
 quired. Shooting should begin when
 the first birds appear early in the
 evening, as then they may be easily frightened. Later on when darkness arrives the use of guns avails but little, as the birds will then move
 only a few yards at time. Shoot ing should be kept up on successive evenings until the birds move on.
 In the case of large roosts it may take five or six evenings to accom- plish the desired result. Even after the birds have moved on vigilance is required lest they attempt to re- establish the roost, either in the same tree or in a new abode. If they establish themselves where they will again be objectionable, the pro- cess must be repeated until the roost is moved to a locality where it will not be a nuisance. '.
 When such. protected species as robins and martins are concerned or when roosts are formed in locali- ties where the use of firearms is prohibited, Roman candles may be used. Relief has been obtained even by installing electric lights or bells in trees where the birds roost. Shows Labor Various Crops Require
 The approximate amount of labor required to raise some of the more important crops has been determined by recent farm studies conducted by the Office of Farm Management, United States Department of Agri- culture. The results show that it requires the work of one man and one horse for a 10-hour day to cut, cure, and harvest an acre of hay. Oats, wheat, barley, rye, buckwheat, and millet consume more labor; under normal conditions these grains require the labor of a man for 2 days and for the horse 3 days. Corn for the silo in the Central States consumes days of man labor and 5.5 of horse work. Tobacco in Ken | lucky uses 35 days of man labor l against 8 days for the farm horse, but onions, as determined through 1 studies in Ohio,- sold in punches, top the list of vegetables in the | amount of man labor they require. 1 Onions use 149 days of man work, but only 10 of horse work. Beets | and carrots, also sold in punches, | come next, with 82 man-days to each acre and 8 days horse labor.
 It is interesting to note that a horse, in the Eastern States, re- quires 12 ten-hour days per year from his master to care for him, and he contributes only three-quarters of one day to his own upkeep---haul- ng feed, etc. Dairy cows need 18 lays from the man and from his horse each year.
 These figures are given in Far ner's Bulletin 1139, to aid the far ner in an analysis of his business. They will be useful in assisting the farm operator to estimate his labor needs for the next season.
