Peach Tree YellOWS
On the Increase

Peach tree yellows is most seri-
GUS peach disease because there is
no cure for it. AS soon as the dis
ease is discovered in an orchard, re
move and burn all infected trees at
once. Do not wait for the crop to
mature because peaches matured OH
diseased trees are not fit for food
Also remove all neglected trees along
the road and fence rows. Only by
concerted action by every owner, and
by acting promptly, can the disease
be eradicated from a community OF
kept from rapid advance.

To give a fair result several such
counts of hundred hills should be
made in several different parts of the
field, and an average struck for all
of them The percentage of misses,
weak plants, mixtures, and diseased
plants that will be found in an appar-
emily splendid field is often surprising.
After simple test of this kind many
potato growers will realize very
clearly that considerable part OF
their crop will be worthless or nearly
so, and since this dead loss, which
, cuts so deep into the profits, is due
in a large measure to poor seed, they
will see the necessity of getting the
best seed available for another year

First, we should have good idea as
to the breadth on the average of ones
sheets and table cloths, not forgetting
that it is wise to have a machine wide
enough to carry two table napkins al
once. This saves time, saves the
over impression of the felt in one spot
and also uses up the whole length OF
heat along the roll.
In large households, where the work
is usually heavy, often taking more
than one day; machine about As
inches or Sc inches is used for two

be padded, the heavier the better, tc
take care of heavily embroidered mi

The Onion Thrip

white blight" white blast" or

microscopic insect called onion thrips.
Although the insect is SO small that
a hand lens must be. used to see it
still it causes an estimated annual
damage to the onion of s2,250,0ee and
to other crops of approximately So
100000, or total of over five millions

States to little insect that can be
successfully controlled by using SAINT
tary measures about the farm and
garden, supplemented by the use OF
tobacco extract.

Perennial Gardens
Popular

More than $4,000 girls in the II
Southern States planted winter gar
dens last year and 4949 more hac
perennial or permanent gardens, ac
cording to reports compiled by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. The winter garden bridges the
gap in the seasons, enabling the
Southern family to have green vege
tables the year round, while many in
direct benefits result from the per
ennial garden in addition to its dt
rect uses. The perennial gardens gen
orally contain some fruit or nut trees
grape vines, berries, or other small
fruits selected according to climatic
conditions.
The ome-demonstration agents,
who are supervised by the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the State colleges, encourage the girls,
who are doing advanced work in the
garden clubs, to establish permanent
gardens, because they realize that
such gardens serve as memorials to
club girls who go away to high school
or college and also serve to draw the
girls back to the farmsteads. A pc
rennial garden also provides a means
to earn money and enables many girls
at school to pay at least part of their
own expenses.
Paintings in these perennial gar
dens are generally begun not later
than spring of the second year of CLUB
work, so that by the time a club men,
Der reaches her third or fourth years
work her garden is in good bearing.

Take a good look at the potato crop
Many field of potatoes which appears
fine and vigorous from the road or
from the top rail of the fence shows
UP surprising defects when one gets
down in among the rows and examines
individual plants.
The Bureau of Plant Industry of the
Pennsylvania Department of Agricu,-
ture recommends the following tests
as an effective and simple means of
finding out just how the field stacks
up as a perfect stand. Count off one
100 hills in row, and then go back
over these hills and count up, first,
the misses; then the small, weak,
backward plants, which will never
amount to anything from the point
of view of yield; then the mixtures.

Early Gathering
for Better Vegetables

Vegetables to be at their best,
should be gathered before they have
grown to full size. They should net
be planted in too great quantity at
one time, to be of the best quality.
If one quick planting is made, great
percentage of vegetables will be
ready at one time, entailing of neces-
sity, a certain amount of waste.

Brown Rot Causes
Greatest Fruit Loses

The most effective measure for con
trolling brown rot on peach, plum and
cherry is to remove all rotten fruits
and burn them or bury them so deep
the pillow will never turn them up. By
following this method one can reduce
next years loss from rot.

control. write to the Bureau of Plant
Industry, Pennsylvania Department OF

Cost Factors
In Milk Production

What does it cost to keep a COW for
a year or to produce 100 pounds OF
market milk? To answer this ques-
ton in terms of labor, feed and other
cost factors the Dairy Division of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture has been collecting for several
years facts and figures from various
sections of the country. The results
for northwestern Indiana, typical OF
many farms supplying the Chicago
market, are not available in bulletin
form. In collecting the information
the department worked in cooperation
with Purdue University.
To give permanent value to the fig.
ures, the investigators determined the
cost of milk production chiefly in
terms of feed, labor, and other i'm
portant factors. Thus by applying
current values to any of the items a
dairyman, or anyone else interested.
may compare his present costs with
those published by the department
Practical farms owned or handled by
resident farmers were used in the in
vestigation.
Among the outstanding results are
the following:
The unit requirements for keeping
a COW one year were: Concentrates,
102 tons; dry roughage, 1854 tons;
hauling and grinding concentrates,
s1.53; bedding, 0.36 tons; pasture, 1.3e
acres; human labor, 1915 hours; horse
labor, 1872 hours; overhead and other
costs, $27.11. Credits other than milk.
Manure, 6.S tons; calves, 0.07 of one
calf
Feed and pasture comprised SIG per
cent of the total cost of production;
labor, 1875 per cent; overhead and
other cost, 22.9 per cent. The tota!
cost was offset 223 per cent by calves
and manure. A different percentage
relationship would exist, however, il
present prices for the various items
were used
The extent to which cows OF high
production save labor was shown
clearly by comparative figures for the
25 herds studied. The owner OF one
herd of COWS averaging 5000 pounds
of milk annually had to feed and milk
only cows to obtain the same guam
tity OF milk as that given by II aver
age COWS or other herds.
The results mentioned, together
with other details, are given more fully
in the new publication department
