PINK BOIL WORM rs NEAR,
ING MISSISSIPPI

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 26,
An announcement of tremendous
Importance to Mississippi agri-
culture was made today by State
Entomologist R w. Harmed, who
said that the much dreaded pink
boil worm has been officially
found in Cameron parish, La.
This. pest is recognized by agri-
cultural experts as ranking with
the present widely spread boil
weevil as a menace to cotton pro-
duction. Prof Harmed frankly
regards it's approach to Miss
issippi as a most discouraging
piece of news, for if it gains
strong foothold in this state, the
cotton growers problem will be
enormously complicated.
Mr.. Harmed urges every one
who handles cottonseed' to look
carefully for any seed that have
been. followed out by worms, or
for any seed showing indication
of worms. Concerted action by
all interested forces is absolutely
essential in making q successful
stand against this new and for
midable enemy, he says.

give few impressions of this
section of our country through
the medium of the Democrat.
We are something over 5000
miles from our old home IN Miss
and were we picked up and plac-
ed here overnight we would find
SO many things SO similar to things
there we would have to oren our
eyes and look around good to rec
ognize the change, especially is
this true as to climate. While it
rains here quite a bit this sea-
son Of the year there has been
but one rainy day since we have
been here. 1t has been crisp and
frosty with mercury down to the
freezing point but once or twice
during the month of Feb. The
people here tell you the rainy
days are the more pleasant and |
hear them every day wishing Tor
rain. The rains here are what
we call drizzles down South. you
can plow your furrows up and
down the hills here as steep as a
housetop with the assurance the
soil will not wash away. When
we lett the South it was raining
every day and the impressions
left of the mud down there will
be long time slipping from our
memory. The roads are all paved
here, hard and smooth with no
mud to be seen. We never had
it brought to us SO forciblyb ybefore
what. rains and water mean to a
country as We did on our trip o
yer here. We passed over thou
sands ofmiles of level open coun
try that -enly needed the touch-ei
water to make it blossom like the
rose. In many sections the
streams from the hills had been
damned, the prairies given the
touch of water and as result the
haystacks, the alfalfa fields, the
wheat stacks aud the beautiful
cottage homes were thick in eve
ry direction. We could not help
but compare with conditions
down in Miss, where hundreds OF
thousands of dollars were being
spent to rid the land of water
while in these sections millions
were being spent to conserve
every drop of the precious fluid.
Our country seems to be little
out of joint when it comes to the
distribution of its moisture. We
found this condition from west
ern Kansas until we crossed the
Cascade mountains, distance OF
some thousand miles or more.
When your train breaks through
the Cascades a new vista unfolds
itself to you. Green forests-of fir,
pine and cedar cover the hillsides

cent of the merchaDtable timber

One of County Agricultural Agent H.
G. Avery's principal projects for this
coming year in Jerome county will be
the working out of an extensive weed
program. This will include the fenc-
ing of ditch banks and stocking the
enclosures with sheep-an economical
as we'll as profitable method of de-
stroying weeds.
Cooperation In the production of q
standard product facilitates market
ing. This has been demonstrated in
two sections this year with alfalfa.
The growers of common alfalfa in
the West Point district, Gooding
county, realized 16 cents pound, sew
eral cents above market price, on two
carload lots. Only pure seed filled the
order. The Grimm alfalfa growers of

ton OF true-to- type, genuine Grimm

ONLY PURE SEEDS
GAN FIND MARKET
UNIVERSITY AGRONOMIST TELLS
NEED OF PREVENTING SEED
ADULTERATION.

| Boise, Ida.-Idaho seed growers
face the necessity of producing pure
bred seed if they wish to find a
market, according to statements by
G. B. Allison, assistant field agrono-
mist of the university extension divis-
ion, who says that, though the market
has been open to poor seed in the
past, only these men are receiving any
returns this season who are Offering
products that are free from the seeds
of noxious weeds. Programs of Mini
dOka, Twin Falls, Jerome and Bing-
ham county farm bureaus for fighting
weeds, together with mention OF the
the prevalence of weeds in Boise val
ley, are contained in Mr.. Ahlson's
statement, which is as follows:
Heretofore the farmers of Idaho
have not been placed in a position to
realize the Importance of pure seed,
with particular reference to small
seeds such as clovers and alfalfa. The
producers of clean seed have not been
rewarded for the work necessary to
keep their fields free from foul weeds.
Why? Because during the last few
seasons the demand and the competi-
tive bidding brought a high price for
the fOulest of foul seed lots. Under
these conditions there was no incen-
tive to produce clean seed for other
IcdSOAS tAdu pcISOudl pT1uc.
How is the seed business this year?
Only the men who have succeeded in
producing nothing but seed that is
dOdder-free, buckhorn free, and free
rom other noxious weeds are able to
eceive any returns this season.
What is to be done? Who is to
blame? The dealer and farmer are
equally to blanche dealer, because
he has paid the farmer exOroi.ant
prices for seed that iss not fit to plant,
and the farmer because he hes not In
sisted on pure, sta1e-tested seed, but
has taken the chance of purchasing
seed from neighbors who have not Sc
cured a test and consequently could
not give assurance that seed was free
from noxious weeds. Before planting,
a half pint sample should be sent To
the state seed laboratory, Boise, or
branch laboratory, Moscow, Idaho, for |
analysis. Such analysis will reveal
whether the seed is free from dodder,
which is the most noAious and diff
cult weed seed to find in Il lot Of al
falfa or clover.
The movement has been toward the
of clean seed Idaho used
to be the dumping ground for all foul

seed and as result this state has
nearly every variety that is detri.
mental to the seed industry. Last
year, grades were established on
clover and alfalfa Other states also
are fast refusing to become dumping
grounds for poor seed, and conse-
quently only seed free from nuxious
weeds is finding a market.
Inspection of samples submitted to
Miss Jessie G. Ayres, seed analysis
state seed laboratory, Boise, reprcent-
ing As carloads of clover and alfalfa
seed from Boise valley showed That
only 1.5 carloads were do lder free.
In other words, 66 per cent Of the
farmers had seed that the lealers ie-
fused to consider buying at this time.
No noteworthy results can be OBJ
obtained until all will make concert
ed effort in waging war on our seed
enemies. One farmer may purchase
state-tested seed, plant it on carefully
prepared soil and then fall heir TO a
flood Of noxious weed seed, because
his neighbor failed to clean the ditch
banks and irrigation canals. Such re-
suits are discouraging. Farmers
should petition the county commits
sioners to establish weed districts.
The determination of weeds is as es-
sential to profitable farming as the
exterminaton of jack rabbits and To-
dents. The weed question is becom-
ing serious problem, as any clover
or alfalfa grower can tell you this
year. IT this condition is allowed to
continue, Idaho will no longer top the
list in production of bright cOlOred
and high quality seed.
Weed districts were established by
the county commissioners in two
COUNTIES this year. The establishing
of district makes it compulsory for
the farmer within the designated
area to destroy the weeds. Ditch
banks were fenced and stocked with
sheep and as a consequence no seeds
matured on these enclosures to be
through the various
bitches and canals. Grover Burnett,
county agricultural agent, held weed
excursions during the growing season,
thus acquainting the farmer with the
many common and nOxiOus weeds.
Prof R. X. Bennett, of the university, |
and Miss Jessie G. Ayres, state seed
analyst, spent couple of weeks in
the fields Identifying weeds and ex-
planning methods of eradication to
farmers who attended the excursions
and were interested in producing bet |
ter crops.
Excursions were also held in Twin
Falls county with credable results.
This county took first and second in
alfalfa seed and first in red clover
seed at the International Hay and
Grain Show at Chicago, Nov. q to
Dec a. Only seed free from weeds
could receive such rating. The re-
suits obtained by establishing weed
districts have been very commendable.
The campaign should and will be
far more extensive this coming year.

Before the war prices already pre-

Prices are lower now than they were
10 years ago. And this does not take
into account that tire mileage, witk
Miller company for instance, has more
than dubbed, and that this cost-per-
mile basis Is the only real way to de-
termine mileage. II mileage were
taken into account, actual cost per
mile Is less than half as much as 10
years ago
with uncertain costs OF labor and
materials, it/is by no means certain
that present price levels can be
long stabilized Within the past
year there has been only one general
price change recorded. Another factor
necessarily affecting tire prices, both
directly and indirectly, is the railroad
rate increase.
Later every one Of the 10 million
castings prematurely junked must be
replaced with a new tire. With tire
production cut down temporarily, due
to present conditions, the motorist will
do well to buy against a possible short
age. He will certainly not get them
cheaper and II may be an advance.
