TERM INSECTS MOST
FORMIDABLE RIVALS
One of Most Injurious Pests Is
the Fly WeeviI.
It Is Primarily Plague of Wheat and
Corn and Is Particularly Harmful
in Southern States-Ruins
Entire Crops.

fpren,red nv the United States Department
of Agricultural
The insects are our most 1orlnlu-
able rivals in the struggle for exist
ence.
Economic entomology does not deal
alone with insects which attack fruits
and growing crops. 1t must deal with
insects that affect grains and foods Ill
storage, that damage our clothing, that
kill our domestic animals and, too,
that carry disease to man himself, that
eat I'D our wooden buildings, and that
honeycomb our books and implements.
We must fight them all along the
line.
One of these insect enemies against
which the bureau Of entomology has
been directing a fight Is the an
goumois grain moth, popularity known
In this country as the fly weevil. 1t
is primarily pest Of wheat and corn
In this country, but affects all cereal
grains. 1t is particularly Injurious in
the Southern states, and does little
harm north of central New Jersey, ex-
cept to cereals in storage.
II Is second to the rice, or black,
weevil IN its capacity to damage
grain. Often entire crops Of corn and
wheat are ruined. Wheat loses
through moth attack about 50 per cent
of weight. Corn loses from II to "a
per cent. Bread made from affected
grain is worthless. The moth also eats
barley, oats, buckwheat, sorghum,
milo, rice, beans, chickpeas and cow
peas.
This is mentioned as an example Of
avOidabe insect pests which the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture not only teaches but assists farm
ers to avoid.
In the case Of the angumois moth,
which works damage to stored grain
in regions where its propagation
among growing crops IS prevented by
the short seasons, the department Is
urging farmers TO fight the pest sys-
tematicaly by such measures as early
threshing, proper storage, and 1uml-
CATION. 1t teaches them to take adj
vantage of the weakness Of the insect
by fighting its further spread.
IT is only by constant and intelli-
gent effort that mankind can over
come the ravageS of insects of every
kind which attack almost every sub
stance on which he depends for his
livelihood and comfort. In this effort,
the public should take advantage Of
the services rendered by experts Of
The bureau Of entomology and by 9TH
pr experts of the department.

ERADICATION OF CORN SMUT
Fresh Manure Should Not Be Applied
and Rotation Of Crops Should
Be Practiced.

There are things to be done and
things not to be done to combat sue
cessfully the smut Of corn which has
damaged the big crop Of this year in
various parts Of the Northwest.
Fresh manure should not be put on
corn ground; rotation OF crops
should be practiced. Spores germnate
best and multiply in fresh manure,
says E. c. Stakman, plant disease spe-
cialist of the University farm, St.
Paul. Some other crop than corn
should be planted on land growing
Smutted corn this year.
Corn smut Is not poisonous, says
Doctor Stakman; on the contrary, in
its early stages it is edible for hu-
man beings. 1t may occur on any part
Of the corn plant above ground. 1t
has been found that corn smut spores
are killed In the silo.

SIL0S NEED GOOD ATTENTION
Hoops Should Be frightened Occasion
ally, Guy Wires Made Taut
and Roof Repaired.

Silos, to give the best service, need
attention every year, says the United
States Department Of Agriculture
Stave silos need the hoops frightened
occasionally, and the guy wires should
be looked over and made taut. The
roof should not be allowed to become
leaky, and any defective places ir
the sides should be repaired. 1t is
advisable also to look well to the
foundation.
Before the silo Is filed the first
time it should he painted on the In.
side with raw coal tar thinned with
gasoline. Every two or three years
a fresh coat of this paint should be
put on. If practicable, coat Of paint
on the outside TO harmonize with the
surrounding buildings will make the
place more attractive.

paid. The problem is to get more from
the soil without greater expense.
One way is to deepen the soil, let
ting in air and moisture and permit
nature to make this sub-soil or under
soil fertile. The roots Of plants can
not penetrate deep enough under the
present conditions on many farms to
get enough plant food and sufficient
moisture to yield normal crop. What
is the remedy? Plow deeper.
Deeper blowing should be done in
the fall. Many soils should be sub
soiled, others should be plOwed deeper
with, ordinary breaking plows. What
ever the method, the soil must be
made deeper. Plow deeper.

Once upon a time every farm FAM
lily had it's flock of turkeys, which sup
piled plenty of birds for the home
table and some for the tables Of those
who lived in the towns. Turkey rails
ing in recent years, however, has de-
creased. one Of the main reasons for
this decline being that as the popula-
ton of the country increased farming
became more intensive and the area
suitable for turkey raising was re-
duced. ! Turkeys require plenty Of
range in order to thrive.
Many farmers, however, still con-
slider turkeys profitable side line on
the farm, and about the first Of Oc-
tober begin to consider how to put
more flesh on their turkey flock.
Feeding Turkey Flock.
During the summer and early fall
turkeys can find an abundance of
feed on the average farm. Grasshop-
pers and other insects, weeds and
grass seeds, green vegetation, berries
and grain picked up in the fields all
90 to make up the turkeys daily ra-
tion. When this natural feed is plen-
tiful, very little need be added until
fattening time except for the purpose
of bringing the turkeys every night
to roost and to keep them from stray
Ing from home. For this purpose one
feed Of grain every night just before
roosting time Is sufficient.
Fattening for Market. o..
In fattening turkeys for the market
an excellent plan is to begin about Oc-
tober to feed night and morning
feeding only so much at a time that
the birds 90 away little hungry, and
gradually increasing the quantity un-
til they are given all they will clean
Cheraw chronicle. [volume] (Cheraw, S.C.) 1896-2005, 1921-10-20

up three times day during the week
before marketing. BY the latter feed
ing is meant that they are fed until
they leave the food and walk away.
Some turkey ralsers feed wheat anf
oats during the first of the fattening
season, gradually changing to corn as
the weather becomes cooler. The ma
jority, however, begin feeding heavily
on corn about November l; and, since
turkeys are not accustomed to such
heavy feeding, scours often result, es-
pecially If new corn Is used. New
corn can be fed safely if the turkeys
are gradually accustomed to 1t by
feeding lightly at first and more heav-
lily afterward.
Lose Flesh When Penned.
Confining turkeys during the fatten-
ing season to prevent their using SO
much energy in ranging has been tried
to some extent, but with very little
success, say poultry specialists of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. Those confined to pen eat
heartily for two or three days, but
after this they lose their appetite
and begin to lose flesh rapidly. On
allowing them free range again, they
pick up rapidly and are soon eating
as heartily as ever. The better meth
cd is to allow them free range, as 1t
keeps them in good. healthy condition,
and they are always eager to be fed.
Nuts of various kinds are natural
fattening feed picked up by the tur-
keys on the range. OF these beech
nuts, chestnuts, pecans, and ecorns are
those most commonly found by them.
Many turkey growers in Texas depend
solely upon acorns for fattening their
turkeys, and when the mast is plenti-
full the birds are marketed in fairly
good condition.
