PLANS OF WORK FOR
CONTROL OF BEETLE
Quarantine Against Insect viii
Be RigidIy Enforced.
Poisoning With Sodium cyanld In Wa.
ter Will Be Practiced on Soils Bad
ly Infested With Larvae or
Grubs--Nets to Be Used.

AT a recent conference of officials or
the United States department Of agri-
culture and the New Jersey depart
ment of agriculture, held at Rivert0n,
plans Of work for the control and sup
preston of the japanese beetle were
thoroughly gone into. Provision has
been made thoroughly to inspect ana
certify products found free from the
insect, including greenhouse and
nursery stocks, fruits, vegetables and
farm crops. While the quarantine
will be rigidly enforced, it is believed
that no serious interruption will result
to the movement of most farm and
other products from the infested ter
ritory. In control Of the beetle, sew
eral methods of attack will be f0l-
lowed. Poisoning with sodium cyand
in water of such soils as are badly IN
tested with the larvae or grubs will be
practiced. Several million beetles, It
is believed, can be captured by sweep
ing infested plants with nets A band
of vegetation from one-half to one
mile wide surrounding the infested
area will be kept thoroughly poisoned
with insecticides sprayed or busted on
the plants. To prevent accidental
carriage of the beetles on automobiles
and other vehicles and on pedestrians,
the roadways have been cleared, by
grubbing and burning of food plants
of the beetle. The weed food plants
will be kept down by the use of large
quantities of weed-killing chemicals.
Attention is being given to the intro
duction of parasites of the beetle from
Japan. An agent of the bureau OF
entomology is already in Japan, en-
gagged upon the work.
The officials connected with this
project believe that the operations OF
1920 win pretty definitely Indicate
what can be expected from large-scale
operations in suppression of the beetle.

TIMOTHY IS LOW IN PROTEIN
One of the Poorest Live Stock Feeds
Farmer Can Grow-Cannot Be
Compared With Alfalfa.

More timothy hay is grown in the
United States than all other hays com.
bined and yet timothy is one of the
poorest livestock feeds thar the farm
er can raise. Its value for feeding
purposes cannot he compared with
clover or alfalfa. 1t is low in protein,
the nutrient upon which farmers and
more especially dairymen must to a
large extent rely for the best returns
from their herds; it is not very pala-
table to live stock, except, perhaps,
to horses, and it has an undesirable
constituting effect upon all classes OF
animals. Furthermore, it yields less
than clover or alfalfa, and it is fer
tillty destroyer instead Of soil build
err. All things considered, it has very
little to commend II,

SAVE OLD FARM MACHINERY
Carefully Inspect Discarded lmple-
ments and Lay Apart Useful
Gears, Braces, Etc.

Farm machinery, when discarded,
should be carefully gone over with
view of saving the parts which have
not been worn and which may be
available for future use on other ma
chimes, or for other purposes. There
are always many braces, gear wheels,
bolts and nuts that can be used again.
When the machine is discarded in
stead of hauling it to an obscure place
to rust away, why not take It apart
and place the disable pieces or parts
in the machine shed, or work shop7
1t takes only little time to take the
machinery apart before it becomes

PROTECT TREES FROM SWINE
DAMAGE Can Be Reduced by Providing
Rubbing Posts for Hogs Infected
With Lice.

Very young trees can be protected
from damage by hogs by providing rub

from lice. The animals will not
rub against the trees so as to in
lure them If they are free from YER

help in this case.
