ALABAMA EXPERT
GIVES ADVICE ON
ARMY WORM PEST

AUBURN, Ala.-A bulletin, issued
gist, Alabama agricultural expert
ment station, reports the activity of
the army worm and gives informa-
ton for combating the pest.
After a winter in which the low.
lands were submerged and follow
ing very late spring, due to cold,
rain and flood conditions, reports of
the first generation Of grass worms
were received between May RI and
June from four counties in Ala
bama, the bulletin says.
The second generation appeared in
much larger numbers than expected,
and was apparently very widespread,
occurring in Kentucky, North Caro-
lima and other states, besides being
reported from thirty counties of our
own state. These reports of worms
were received June 81 to July II.
A third generation appeared in
Alabama by July rs and is expected
to do it's greatest damage In the
three weeks following its appear
ance.
The grayish-colored moths or mil
lGrS are SSlOOIQ S6GH 0ACepL WHICH

moths lay the eggs and shortly after

ton of poison at this time is very
effective in controlling the pest.
The full grown worms are from
one and one-quarter to one and one
half inches long and marked with
dark green or blackisn stripe along
on the back is never quite as dark
in color as are the stripes on the
sides. On the front of the head
there is q distinct inverted white
"Y'' mark.
There is a new generation every
three or four weeks and not until
their natural enemies become more
numerous will the gras worms sub
side. We must be prepared to. fight
these worms If the corn and forage
crops are to be saved .,,n ,oo,,ou+
for small worms and act quickly in
applying poison. Every farmer in
the state should be on the alert and
examine his crops frequently. The
generation that is coming is not go
ing to confine itself to end 1ow v,fa1fs
especially should be closely watched
for the appearance of small cater
pillars.
Control Measures
On grasses or grass-like grains
other than corn, spray with arsenate
of lead, using one pound OF the
powdered form in fifty gallons of
water.
On young corn apply calcium
arsenate, blowing the dust into the
bud by means of a hand gun used
in poisoning cotton when controlling
the boil weevil and the cotton boil
worm.
Tests made by the Alabam aexper-
ment station in July 1920, show this
method to be very effective on young
corn. When using these guns for
busting corn, the terminal joint
with the fan-shaped nozzle should
be removed. If the corn is too large
for blowing the dust into the bud
without any extension on the hand
guns, then spray with arsenate of
lead, using two pounds of the pow
der and fifty gallons Of water. This
amount will treat one and one-half
acres of corn. In an emergency the
dust may be applied with a sack or
bag and the liquid with watering
pots, but less effectively than when
dust or spray is driven into the
buds with force.

Since the passage of the United
States warehouse act in 1916 the bu-
reau of markets, United States de-
partment Of agriculture, which is
charged with the administration of
this legislation, has received approx
imately 500 applications for licenses.
Half of these applications were re-
ceived within the past year.
The advantages that accrue from
the federal licensing and bonding of
warehouses storing agricultural prod
ucts such as cotton, grain, wool, to-
bacco, and flaxseed are just begin
ming to be fully appreciated, say spe-
cialists Of the bureau of markets. A
continuous educational campaign has
been conducted to accomplish this
result, and the bureau confidently
feels that a steadily increasing num-
Der of applications will be received.
Aids in Financing Crops
The chief purpose of the act, which
is not mandatory, is to establish a
form of warehouse receipt that will
be easily and widely negotiable as
delivery orders or as collateral for
loans, and therefore of definite as
sistance in financing crops. BY Ii
censing and bonding warehouses the
integrity of the receipt is assured as
evidence of the condition. quality,
quantity, and ownership of the prod
ucts stored. These receipts are ap-
proved as collateral for loans made
by the federal farm loan board; and
because of the high value of the pa
per, bankers generally are enabled
to rediscount their loans to greater
advantage, thereby securing cheaper

Big Saving Possible
In Insurance Paid by
Cotton Gin Operators

A reduction of 100000 in the
amount of. insurance annually paid
by cotton gin operators Of the south
is made possible by the adoption of
certain simple devices perfected by
the bureau of chemistry of the United
States department of agriculture, &C
cording to a recent announcement is
sued at Washington.
The bureau has worked out a meth
cd for grounding accumulated static
electricity, which has heretofore been
the cause of many fires, and the
step has proved so effective that the
insurance companies have reduced
their rate at protected gin STANDS Dy
twenty-five cents for each $500 OF IN
surance .,. J.,
The average gin in the south Is
insured for $4,000. The saving; there,

Answers to Enquiries

Dear Mrs Thomas:
Last year about this time you gave
us recipe for corn, okra and toma-
toes. I made the mixture and it
was fine; I lost the paper and am
writing to ask you to send it to me,
or to put it in The Journal. L feel
sure there are others who would ap-
preciate it,. Thanking you for your
many helpful suggestions, l am,
MRS. S. G.
Corn, Okra and Tomatoes-Chip
the okra in thin pieces and boil.
Peel the tomatoes and cook. When
both are tender, mix two quarts of
okra and three of tomatoes, then add
two quarts of young, tender corn,
cut from the cob, as you need it,
and tablespoonful of salt, cook f1f-
teen minutes, mix with the others
and put in quart jars. Put on the
cours, you blanch and cold dip the
corn on the cob. This is the Annie
Dennis way and there is none bet
ter, but here is corn, okra and toma-
toes No. 2: Blanch the corn ON the
cob five minutes, cold dip quickly
cut the corn from the cob and always
cut from tip to the larger end. Put
water then in cold. cut with sharp
knife; scald the tomatoes and cold
dip, remove the skin and core. Cut
into medium-sized pieces, then mix
thoroughly, two quarts tomatoes, one
of corn, one of okra. Put the mix
ture in hot jars; add a level tea
spoonful of salt to each quart jar.
Remember that the corn swells, so
allow an inch. Put on rubbers and
caps, sterilize one hour. tighten the
caps and invert in cool place I'M
til the next day, then loosen tops,
but do not take them off. Let boil
one hour and your soup mixture
should keep perfectly.
Mrs. S. S. P. wants vinegar re-
cipe. This is for apple vinegar: Mash
we'll two or three bushels of apples.
Put them in a barrel and fill with
water, adding a quart of cane syrup
or molasses to 2 IL gallons of
water; cover with a coarse cloth and
put in a warm place. Back of the
stove is a good place, if convenient to
have there. Good vinegar can be
made of the Feelings and cores if
they are put in a jar and the water
is sweetened, 1t will make in few
months, but will not keep pickle till
eighteen months or two years old. If
you can get a little mother" or
dregs, from a vinegar barrel it will
make quicker.
To Keep Apple Cider Sweet: Keep
the cider for twelve hours, then put
in a porcelain or aluminium kettle
and add one teacup of sugar to each
gallon of cider; boil five minutes,
skimming all the time. Put in jugs

ghum and sugar cane, spray with
arsenate of lead solution as recon-
mended for corn. 1t is advisable
to add two or three pounds of freshly
slaked lime or hydrated lime to the
arsenate of lead solution to guard
against burning. Our preliminary ex-
periments show that under some
conditions, busting with calcium
arsenate burns the foliage of velvet
beans, cowpeas, sorghum, sugar cane
and alfalfa, although safe on soy
beans and sweet potatoes.
After the worms become full
grown they enter the ground in order
to change to the next stage which
is the pupa, therefore, light Guilt
walton where this is possible should
be practiced during at least ten days
following the disappearance of the
worms. This destroys a large per
cenetage of the pupal staged.
Should the worms become very
numerous and begin to march,"
first prevent them from getting into
other fields and then poison the crop
where the worms occur. When the
soil has a dust mulch, blowing a
deep furrow in front of the advance
ing worms is a very effective bar
rier.
Caution: Don't pasture stock with

MARY MEREDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

I am coming to you for some ad-
vice. Is it proper for a boy to take
hold Of a girls arm when they are
walking together? If it is not, what
would you say to him to make him
let your arm alone and what to say
to a boy when he says he loves you?
l am fifteen years old and do not
care anything about the boys, only
to pass off the time. Do you think
I am right?
If you will answer this through
the next Journal I will be ever so
much obliged. Friend of yours for

years ago for the lady to take
the gentleman's arm when stroll

seem to exist any more. Only
when crossing the street, does
it is done as a protection.
When boy tells you he loves

compliment, At the same time

to grasp your arm, say to him
you prefer walking without his

Even If You have to be little

reduced interest charges for the
growers. 1t is also a fact that in
insuring cotton stored in federally
licensed warehouses reductions of
from 10 to 25 per cent have been
granted by rate-making agencies.
Thus the insurance underwriters give
tangible recognition to the creation
of better moral class of risk and
to the value of government super

A particular advantage to the pro-

Use Green Tomatoes
For Makinu Marmalade

To those who are fond of the
piquant flavor of green tomatoes in
marmalade, given out by the depart
ment Of agriculture, will be well
come:
GREEN TOMATO MARMALADE.
2 pounds green tomatoes.
IL cups syrup.
One half lemon and I orange, or
one-quarter cup sugar.
2 IL lemons 60 ounces).
Wash and trim tomatoes, cut into
slices medium thick. Cut lemon and
careful to pick out all seeds Add
syrup and sugar. A small amount of
salt (one-eighth to one-fourth tea
spoon) is often considered advan-
tageous; here, as always, it renders
the sweet taste of sugar less cloying.
Boiling orange peel for a few min
utes in sailed water prevents its har-
dening later, when cooked in strip.
Heat slowly, stirring until well vel
mixed, then simmer gently until the
lade has the consistency of thick,
heavy jam. This will require three
to four hours. There should be
dening later, when cooked in syrup.
If a caramel flavor is liked. the
heat may be slightly increased at
the very last so that the jam darkens
at the bottom next the kettle; but
great care must be taken not to
overdo this effect as the jam is
easily scorched.
A somewhat different effect may
be obtained by chopping the rind of
lemon and orange. At the end of the
long cooking process these bits of
chopped rind seem much like chopped
nuts.
Orange flavor in preserves does
not last indefinitely, apart from the
tang of the rind. Consequently this
marmalade is best when only few
