Farm Notes

TOBACCO BEDS: There was
serious shortage of tobacco splants last
Spring due to ravaging flee beetles
tobacco bed fly). A great many beds
were examined for attacks by the beet
les and quite all showed evidence of
the beetles Nearly all beds were cot
toned, very poorly; SO poorly that one
could stand at the edge and throw a
SLOUGH hat into the beds without inter-
fering with the cotton. In such cases
beetles had almost unobstructed ac-
cess to the young plants. The prim
ary object of the cotton is to keep out
injurious insects. OF course the cotton
reserves some moisture aud heat The
temperature under ,cottoned bed
should be about degrees warmer than
in an open bed. Pine brush will re-
serve more moisture than cotton, but
by no means will brush resist beetles.
Secure some good boards, in. by 10
or IL H. by 10 or 20 feet. Place them

about Il on 2 inches; draw the cotton
and tack same On upper edge with
strips like laths, thus make the edges
and corners as tight .as the cotton
mesh and you will have no trouble
with the beetles.
II you have neglected to do this and
the beetles have appeared there are
quite q number of repeilent dusts that
may be used. The Agent used one appli-
cation of dust mixture Qnsecto) thru d
knap sack dust machine on t attacked
beds last spring and In every case the
farmers reported very satisfactory re
suits. BEWARE Of the Beetles next
Spring.
