The herd of beef cattle owned by
the University of Missouri and con-
sisting of 70 head of COWS, steers and
bulls over six months of age of the
Aberdeen Angus, Hereford and Short
horn breeds, is the second Tubercu-
losis-Free Accredited Herd in the
State of Missouri. This herd passed
the final test which placed it upon
the accredited herd list on February
Is, 1920.
The accredited herd plan, as con
Quoted by the Federal government
looks toward the eradication of tu-
b~erculosis among cattle in the Unit
ed States. Upon satisfactory com
pletion of the test required by the
accredited herd plan, a certificate
known as a Tuberculosis-F Accred-
tied Herd certificate, is issued bearing
the signature of National Secretary
Of Agriculture, Chief, Bureau of An
imal Industry, Missouri State Vet
erinarian, and the inspector in charge
Of the work in this state.
This plan has made considerable
progress in many states and there
are a good many other herds in Mis-
souri, which should, within the next
year, be placed on the accredited list.

Don't Let Insects DevOur The
Garden Crops.

AS food prices have increased so
have the values of garden products
increased. Every year insect pests
destroy enough garden products TO
feed a large army. X. C. Sullivan of
the University of Missouri College
of Agriculture says that this loss
can be p~revnted if the proper precau-
tions are taken.
A great many garden pests such as
the squash bug, the calico bug, tar
nish plant bug, striped cucumber bee
tie, twelve spotted cucumber beetle,
several species of flea beetle and many
others pass the winter as adults hid
den away in the rubbish along the
fence, under old cabbage leaves and
similar places. There the first thing
to do in starting the garden in the
early spring is to clean up and burn
all the accumulated rubbish in and
near the garden. Garden insects mul-
tiple very rapidly and by destroying
n insect now it may mean the pre-
v~ention of hundreds later on. The
cabbage worms winter in a little
chrysalis or case attached to deaC
cabbage leaves so by burning the
rubbish great numbers Of this raven.
GUS pest are also destroyed.
Another large group of garden
pests pass the winter as larva o.
pupa in the soil. In this group may
be included the white grubs or MAJ
beetles, cut worms, tobacco or toma
matoe worm, wireworms and web
worms. For this group it is best t,
pillow or spade the garden in the fal
so as to expose them to the weather
however, if the soil is turned in tn,
early spring many Of them will b,
unable to withstand the cold nights
chickens running in the garden at tn,
time of blowing OF spading will max
use of uncovered grubs to great ad
vantage.
1t is also wise to lay in a suppl,
of spraying materials in the earl,
spring and to see that the hand o
knapsack sprayer is in good work
ing order. Just as soon as the pc
tatoes push thru the ground SON
arsenate of lead or paris green wi
be needed for the Colorado potat
beetle and a little later the cabbag
worms and cucumber beetles wi
need a dose Of poison. For suckin
insects like the squash bug and tn
little plant lice, some nicotine su'
phate or kerosene emulsion will b
needed. Many insects have the hat
it of appearing very suddenly so tn
garden should be carefully watche
and just as soon as the insects begi
to feed, the remedy should be az
piled. A short delay may result i
the loss or heavy damage of the crcl

plants. Garden peas may be planted
between the hills of Irish potatoes or
sweet potatoes, and string beans may
be planted between the rows. Squash
es, pumpkins, summer squashes, mel
ons and other plants of the gourd
family may be planted with cor or
tomatoes. Early cabbage may be set
between late, wide-row crops like
corn or tomatoes. Careful observa-
ton enables the gardener to deter
mine what plants do well together
and how to get the most out of lin
tied space by companion cropping.
1t should be born in mind that max
imum Development of plants under
crowded conditions requires rich soil.
The richer, deeper and mellower the
soil, the more intensively may COM
panion cropping and ~crowding in mar
row rows be employed with profit.
Where abundant space is available
and where the soil has not yet been
brought to intensive gardening con-
dition it may be better to plant nearly
all vegetables in rows far enough a.
part to permit horse cultivation. The
smaller vegetables, however, cannot
be given by horse power quite the
tillage they need. In addition they
require hand work. The aim should
be to ameliorate the soil as rapidly
as possible and work toward the in
tensive, hand method. Once a sat
isfactory soil condition is obtained,
a man with a wheel hoe can cult
vate a row of onions about as quick
ly and easily as he can with a horse
drawn implement and do better work.

An Accurate Corn Planter Is
One of Your Best Friends

There is q big difference
between the yield Of crops
planted with an inaccurate plana
ter and one that's accurate. You
use the same amount of seed
but the difference in the crop
often amounts to as much as
FIVE, six or seven-yes, and
more bushels per acre.
Here is a point we want you
to think over: If a planter
misses only fifteen kernels in every
100 hills, there is a loss of ave bushels
per ere in the yield.

Companion Crops In The Garden
In small gardens space and labor
may be economical by planting to-
gether, on the same area, such veg
etables as are mutually adapted, ac-
cording to horticulturists at the Uni
versity of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture. In a least a few cases mix
ed species are mutually helpful. On
ions, lettuce, carrots and small, weak
seedlings often find difficulty in push
ing above ground. This is particu-
larry true in heavy soils that have not
had time to become mellow by re-
peated deep working and the incor-
poration of organic matter. A few
radish seeds may be mixed with
seeds Of these sorts. The radish
seeds sprout promptly, the seedlings
break the crust and allow their weak
err companion plants to come up read
". The radishes soon mark the
row, SO that early tillage may be
given before the other plants are up.
Pole beans may be planted in the
same hill with sweet corn, tomatoes
that are to be staked or with sunflow-
ers. The beans climb on the corn,
%sunilowe1s or the tomato stakes. In
addition bush (strine) beans may be
planted between he rowa of these
