migrants to enter the country unlaw-

from the island within the last three
months, according to Byron H. Uhl,

at the island. Several hospital attend

SCIENTISTS HELPING
BURBERRY INDUSTRY
New Jersey Grower Obtains
Most Luscious Berries.
Instance of What Is Being Done Com
merciaIIy by Men Who Utilize In
formation Given Out by De-
partment of Agriculture.

Luscious blueberries-many of which
are three-fourths Of an inch In diam
eter-that sell for $40 a bushel! Such
is the product secured by New Jer-
sey grower, whose principal business
has been growing cranberries but who
more recently took up the cultivation
Of blueberries. At present he has 20
acres which he planted, in part, with
carefully selected wild blueberry stock
and, in part, with hyhrids furnished
by the bureau of plant industry Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Not only are the berries on
this tract Of very high quality but the
yield is prolific, the older plants pro-
ducing at the rate Of nearly 100 BUSH
els to the acre. The plantation is stu
ated at Witesbog, near Browns Mills.
The success Of this grower Is but
one instance Of what is being done
commercially by men who are utiliz-
ing the information supplied by the
department Of agriculture scientists
The latter have made study of blue
berry culture for several years, and
are able to furnish data regarding the
best varieties and the most suitable
soils. Of particular significance Is the
fact that blueberries thrive best on
peat and sand soils, so acid as to be
considered worthless for ordinary ag-
riculture. Thus through BURBERRY cul-
ture it is possible to utilize many tracts
which have been regarded as especial
ly hard and unpromising.

SUMMER SPRAY AIDS APPLES
From an Investment Of 60 Cents
on Each Tree.

A profit of $1O.75 from an invest
ment of 80 cents is the sum made by
the Iowa farmers who co-operated with
the Iowa experiment station and their
county agents in the summer spraying
demonstrations. In each of II Or
chards in 10 counties representing
every section of the state, there were
10 trees sprayed.
A yield of Z bushels was received
from the sprayed trees while the I'M
sprayed trees from the same orchards
yielded only 2% bushels each. The
sprayed apples brought from 50 to So
h ..bushel and the unsprayed ones
bDRought only 81. The trees were
sprayed four times during the year at
a cost of 60 cents apiece for material,
labor, and depreciation on the spray
outfits.

stock. Year in and year out it is a
source of great annoyance, especially
to horses and cattle, and is an all-too-
common and persistent pest.
The adult stable fly resembles the
house fly, but is slightly broader and
feeds principally on the blood Of ami
mails, which it draws with it's long,
piercing mouth parts. 1t breeds in ac-
cumulations of various kinds Of veg
etable matter and also in manure, es-
pecially when the latter is mixed with
straw. When straw stacks become wet
soon after thrashing the flies breed in
the decaying straw, and 1t is this set
of conditions which produces the Sc
we're outbreaks.
Spraying Not Satisfactory.
Spraying animals with repellents is
not very satisfactory, but the numbers
Of stable flies can be kept down by
caring properly for stable refuse and
by stacking or otherwise disposing of
straw. The United States department
Of agriculture. Washington, D. c., has
prepared a bulletin "The Stable Fly"
which will be sent on request. 1t
gives complete instructions for the
control or prevention Of this pest.
