in this County as it is in Oregon. The
Oregon reports show that on quite q
variety Of soils it had beneficial ef-
feet. It is easy to see quite differ
ence in the hardness Of the alfalfa
and also in the yields in different sec
tons Of the County, and it is quite
possible that the application Of sui
phur may be Of value. One applica-
ton of hundred pounds per acre has
proven to last about three years with
increased yields. The cost Of the sui
phur in case it becomes practical to
use it in large quantities will be $50
per ton, which would make the cost
per acre very small.

GOVERNMENT EXPERTS URGE
SOWING OF RED CLOVER

Special Attention Should Be Paid Ia
the Purity of the Seed.
During January the question of pur-
chasing clover seed and planning the
acreage to be seeded next spring will
be under consideration. Clover seed
is high priced and scarce, and good
samples will command prices that
many farmers will be loathe to pay.
The United States Department of
Agriculture. however, urges the seed
ing of as large an acreage as posi-
BILE. The best information obtainable
shows that the foreign market is quite
as bare of clover seed as is our own.
The French and Italian supplies are
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1920-01-29

and the soluble or misci6le oils an
still standard and one or the other
must be relied upon to do the work.
The great numbers Of codling moths
1 this year indicate that . determined
fight will need to Be made II this pest
/ II to be held in check the coming sea-
son. The larvae are now alternating
in great numbers under the old bark
Of trunks and limbs, in old apple boxes
and in other rubbish. Wherever
wormy apples are being stored, there
are myriads Of the insects. Cellars
and storage houses are fruitful
sources Of infection for this pest.
These places should be cleaned and
fumigated early In the spring before
the moths have become adults and
flown back to the orchards. An in
nocent-looking old apple box or barrel
may, and frequently Is, the means Of
carrying the codling moth to new
sources Of infection. With the great
est care, however, there will be need
for thorough spraying Of the trees,
following the blossom period, with the
arsenical spray, good tools and good
work are necessary.
With all this, there IL yet another
factor without which the best Of work |
will be practically unavailing. This
is neighborhood cooperation. Unfor-
the orchardist no longer lives
unto himself. A nearby neglected or
chard will thwart the most conscien-
tious efforts and render q seasons
work Of but little use. We have law
that prohibits the sale Of wormy or
scale-infected fruit. This law was en-
acted not to punish the grower Of Gull
'ruit, but to induce him to grow only
good fruit. We also have q law that
provides for the cleaning up or des-
,ruction Of infested orchards. 1t GER
.ainly is to the interest Of all fruit
growers to have these provisions en-
orced.
With thorough work and coopera-
ion all along the line, we can avoid a
epetition Of this past seasons losses
rom Gull fruits.

sold out, and there appears to be no
surplus in Germany or in Russia. This
means that clover seed will be high
for at least two years to come if not
more, and those farmers who seeded
last spring or who seed in 1920 will
have a chance to sell their clover
seed crop at good figure. This is
time to look ahead, and for American
farmers to get the benefit of the high
prices, before Europe has been able to
get back to normal production and the
prices fall.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1920-01-29

farmers pay careful attention to the
quality of seed they buy. The rela-
ton between the purity and germina-
ton of sample of clover seed and its
value to the farmer has been so fire.
quently discussed that it is not ne
cessary to enter into details. A farm
er, paying a low price for poor lot
of seed, may really be paying more
for the good seed that will grow than
he would have in sample of higher
price. The only way to decide this is
to secure samples and quotations from
reliable firms, and have the seed an
alyzed by the State seed laboratory.
