GAS SUCCEEDS
AS WEAPON FOR
ORCHARD PEST

The results of what is known as
the ara-dichlorobenezene treatmen1
for the eradication of the peach tree
borer lead experts Of the United
States department of agriculture to
believe that practical means has
chards of this disastrously destruc-
tive pest. Previously the only effec-
tive method of fighting the borer was
by removing the soil around the
base of the. tree and digging the
grubs out of their galleries with
have done s6,O00,000 damage a year
and that 100000 a year has been
spent in fighting them.
The northumberland method
was first used extensively by or
chardists in 1919. It consists in
eide on the soil around the base
of the infected tree and covering with
earth to hold the gas. The sub
stance is highly volatile and forms
gas when the soil is between "a de-
grees and 80 degrees F. This gas
sinks down through the soil. 1t is
highly effective against the borer;
and pound of the insecticide, cost
ing not more than rs cents, is suffi-
Gent for or 10 trees The labor
is scarcely one-third of that formerly
great.
This year the para -dichlorobenzene
process has been used extensively in
the Georgia peach belt, some locali-
ties buying as high as $4,000 pounds
and large individual growers as high
as tons each. Growers declare
that 1t is one of the greatest accomp-
Hshments in the history of the de-
partment, comparable to the self
boiled lime-sulphur treatment for
the control of brown rot and scab
of the peach.

Profitable Tips
On Curinu Meat

Cleanliness is the most impor-
tant factor in butchering and cur
ing meats, says the United States
department of agriculture, in
Farmers Bulletin, 913. Meat be-
comes tainted very easily.
Save all pieces of meat for sau-
sage. There are many ways of
converting it into palatable prod
uct.
All waste fat, trimmings, and
skin should be rendered and the
product used to make soap.
Bones sould be crushed or
ground for chicken food.
Never put meat in cure before
the animal heat is out of 1t.
Always pack meat skin-side-
down when in the curing process,
except the top layer in a brine
cure. which should be turned
flesh
Keep close watch on the brine,
and If 1t becomes ''ropy" change
it.
Do not forget to turn or change
meat several times during the
curing process.
The fat of dry-cured meat
sometimes becomes yellow, but
that does not make it unwhol-
some.
1t takes more time to smoke
dry-cured than brine-cured pork.
Slow smoking Is much better
than rapid smoking. the heat is
not so great and there is less
chance Of causing the meat to
drip.

Joint Distribution
Works Successfully
For These Dairymen

With the assistance of the dairy
division of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, the dairymen Of
Dubois, Pa, are conducting CO.
operative l--distributing, plant
with decided success. AS the own
ers are primarily producers and un-
familiar with the business of milk
the dairy division keeps
in touch with the work being done,
and advises the stockholders in re-
gard to the management of the
business. Similar assistance is CIV
en- to other organizations. whether
comparatively or privately owned,
whenever requested.
The price which the farmers get
for their product is determined by
dividing the net receipts from sale
of milk, after deduction for operat-
among the farmers in proportion to
the amount and quality of milk
they have respectively brought to
the plant. Starting in July, 1917,
with a business of only 500 quarts
they are now handling over 1000
quarts daily, and have been paying
remarkably good prices to the mem
bers. The enhanced profits were not
the result of high charges to con-
sumers. but of economies brought
about by cooperation, such as re-
ducing the number Of delivery waG-
ollS. Lie COOpeEdIlOn OIL producers
in one concern has also enabled
them better to handle the problems
of surplus and shortage of milk.
The supply has been kept adequate
to- the demand: and at the same
time the quality has been more uni
formly satisfactory than formerly.
Since last February the price al
lowed for any particular milk has
been based on it's butter-fat content.
All milk is expected to have at least
3.25 per cent of fat, and for this
milk the minimum price is paid.
For every one-tenth of 1 per cent of
fat above the 1925 there Is an ad-
ditional allowance of 4 cents per
hundred rh

Nut-Bearing Trees
Cost No More to Plant
Than Other Varieties

Nuts form the only vegetable prod
uct raised in this country which in
the raw condition furnishes a COM
plete and fairly ell-balanced ration
for human beings.
In many parts of the country ell
derby persons, past their period of
activity, are now deriving an income
sufficient to pay taxes, insurance,
and general upkeep of the home
property from crops of nuts de-
rived from trees which they planted
during their younger days while
their neighbors were planting shade
trees.
There are very few farms or city
lots in the entire country which
could not preftably be planted to
some kind of Nut-producing trees.
The income may not always be i'm
portant, but whatever it is will be
clear gain. 1t costs no more TO plant
a nut-bearing tree than 1t does one
that produces nothing but shade. Nut
trees are commonly regarded as be-
Ing slow in coming into bearing. The
black walnut and hickory are popu-
larly regarded as being Of too slow
a growth to develop into useful shade
trees during the average lifetime of
man.
AS a matter of fact, on the con-
trary, walnuts of certain superior va
rieties now being propagated are so
precocious as not infrequently to
bear nuts while still in the nursery.
In a number of instances from a
peck to a half bushel of nuts have
Eeen borne by trees ten and twelve
years old. No exact figures as to
yields of hickories are available, but
some of the varieties are bearing
at from twelve to fifteen years old.

now being largely wiped out of ex-
istence by the bark disease intro
duced from Asia about 1900, efforts
are being made by the United States

TREE SURGERY
DESERVES MORE
REAL ATTENTION

At present tree-repair work has not
from tree owners that it deserves.
This may be due at times to unfa-
vorable experiences with dishonest
or ignorant tree surgeons. at other
times to the reluctance of the own
ers to spend much money in preserv-
ing their trees, or from their 1gnor-
ance of the benefits that may result
when tree-repair work Is properly
done.
Reliable tree surgeons are doing
much in practical way to educate
the public as to the benefits Of tree
repair work. A few states have laws
regulating tree-repair work on COM
mercial basis.
The United States department of
agriculture invites correspondence
concerning methods of tree-repair
work and is prepared to advise for
or against any particular method so
far as experience and the results
OF experiments permit. Farmers
bulletin 117S on tree surgery will
be sent free on application.
Tree owners are urged to remem-
Der that the necessity for tree-rpair
may be reduced materially by promt-
ly attending to fresh injuries Of to-
day.
Most persons can, at least with
very little preliminary practice on the
simpler types of work, undertake
ordinary tree surgery provided they
are familiar with the use of gouge
and mallet, a saw and "a paint brush.
A steady head and ability to climb
will be necessary for work in the
top of the tree.

a healthy one unless there is some
very special reason for trying to
preserve the tree.
Two axioms Of tree-repair work
that should be borne in mind con-
stantly are: that prompt treatment
of freshly made wounds Is the sur
est and most economical method of
preventing disease and decay in the
future, and that all wounds made in
tree surgery should be cleaned, steril-
liked and protected from infection

|''FertiHzi1g the Air.
Brings Great Returns
In Raising Vegetables

Experiments conducted by German,
chemists have indicated that much
success may be expected from a
newly-developed method of "fertiliz-
ing the air" in order to provide
growing plants. Plant Psychologists
have mainly devoted their efforts
to applying fertilizers to the soil,
says the Salt Lake Tribune.
That plants, through their leaves,
feed upon the carbonic acid of the
taken up out of the soil, has long
been known. The new method aims
to augment this process. Starting
with the known fact that the carbonic
acid contained in the air is slight
the average is said to be only .03
that considerable addition of that
gas to the atmosphere should in
crease the growth in plants. They
made experiments in that direction,
which are described by DR.. F. Riedel
in "Stahl und Eisen," the organ or
the German iron industry.
The chemists at one of the large
German iron plants in the Essen dis
trict made tests with a gas from
the blast furnaces purified of sui
phur and duly diluted with air. Be-
ginning in 1917, they used this purt-
lieu ScL uoA1C cdCld III greenhouses
where it was distributed through
perforated Ipipes.
The results are described as re-
markable. Even after only a few
days the plants treated with gas
showed a more vigorous growth than
They began to blossom earlier, and
their general development was much
greater. The yield of tomatoes was
! increased ITS per cent and cucum-
bers 70 per cent.
AT the same time experiments also
were made in the open air on square
plots around which punctured tubes
were laid. Here an increase Of $50
per cent in yield of spinach was
reached, 40 per cent in potatoes, 1874
per cent in lupines and 100 per cent
in barley.
Encouraged by these results, the
chemists repeated the experiments
in 1918 on a much larger scale, US
| ing a plot of 10000 square meters.
This time they got an increase of
100 per cent with tomatoes and in
one case as high as 800 per cent
with potatoes.
According to the author of the arti-
Gle dealing with the subject, other
experiments proved that this fertili-
zation of the air SIS far more eff
fective than that of the SOIL" even
though the latter be on a liberal
SSeAA~'
an increase of IS per cent, but soil
and air fertilizing together gave an
increase of 80 per cent. The chem
lists do not regard the use of car
| bontc acid gas as a substitute for
7 soil fertilization, but as an addition
to it-both are necessary.
DR.. Riedel believes that the discov-
cry will lead to very important re-
suits, and thinks it. should make
every agricultural region adjacent to
furnaces an enormous food producer
He points out that a battery of fur
naces producing 1000 tons of pig
iron day consumes LOO tons of
coke; also that the carbonic acid gas
contained in the fumes from that
coke produce 1000 tons of vegetable
fully utilized; and even if so low
portion as 10 per cent of 1t could
be regularly converted into crop
products this would be an end we'll
worth striving for.-Louisville Cour-

There are Of course many machines
on the market which will grind or
chop up all sorts of coarse fodder
into condition which permits of it's
being readily mixed with concen-
trates. An endless variety of feed
stunts may be made in the manner
indicated and many of them, if
properly prepared and fed with skill

course, no reason why you should

tory homemade ration of this char

know of any more practical or desir-
able method of procedure under the
therefore, than the following:
You must either by some effort
on your part determine the percent
age yield of, grain and roughage on
each acre of land and then figure this
out on the basis of bushels of grain
per acre and pounds of forage or
slower as the case may be Or else you
can harvest the crops separately, and
handle as indicated below. The aver
age horse or mule weighing 1000
pounds should receive, when doing
hard work, approximately twelve to
fifteen pounds of hay per day. Cat
tie will eat somewhat more roughage
because they are Illuminating animals.
Hogs cannot handle roughage with
advantage at all. Sheep will use it
in about the same proportion as
cattle. This makes it difficult to
suggest any one ration, therefore,
that will suit all classes of live
stock Most of the concerns to which
you refer make different grades, or
combina tons, of foods for different
classes of live stock for obvious rea-
sons. The food stuffs they sell are
generally no better than that which
the farmer can prepare for himself.
I have always held that the farmer
who purchases any considerable
quantity of hay or grain could not
expect to maintain himself in pros
porous condition. These are crops
which our soil and climatic condi-
lions should enable us to produce
in a measure commensurate with our
needs. We may have to purchase
some concentrates from other states
at times or exchange part of those
we produce for those raised else
where, but from an economic point
Of view, there are limits by which
transactions of this kind must be

prosperous as we wish 1t to be.
