PRESERVING SOIL MOISTURE
ter to Escape From Soil Should
Be Discouraged.

The practice that prevails in some
irrigation localities Of letting the nat
ural moisture escape from the soil,
with the idea that more water can be
applied when II is needed, is most per-
nicious and should be discouraged, say
specialists of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. If the moist
ure that gets into the ground in the
form OF precipitation or as irrigation
water is retained by the soil 1t will en-
able the soil organisms to act upon the
plant foods, rendering them available
for plant growth. There is feeling
Of safety in having an unlimited sup
ply of water for irrigation purposes,
but IL should be remembered that irri-
cation costs money and labor; precipi-
tation Is natures gift.

BUSTING IS MOST EFFECTIVE
Saves Much Time and Permits Much
Greater Rapidly Of Operation
Also Is Cheaper.

Is busting more effective than
spraying in controlling fruit diseases
and pests? This is much mooted
point among orchardlsts everywhere,
but, according to figures presented by
III. III. Whetzel of Cornell university,
busting appears to have slight edge
over the liquid method.
Not only is busting a little cheaper,
but il also saves much time and per-
mits much greater rapidity of ofera-
ton. The results obtained from the
use Of dust appear to at least equal
those following the use of spray, and
in many cases TO excel them.
One Of the most promising busting
mixtures was finely ground dehydrated
copper-sulphate mixed with hydrated
lime Another successful mixture was
eight pounds dehydrated copper sui
phate. four pounds arsenate of lime
and SO pounds hydrated lime.
In figuring cost of materials, there
is very little difference between dust
ing and spraying, but when the time
saved in busting is figured, the latter
method must be counted as much
cheaper.

TO DESTROY CURRANT WORMS
Insects Are Readily Eradicated by
Use of Arsenic in Liquid or
Dust Form.

The imported currant worm when

yellowish at the ends. Young larvae
are covered with black spots, and
the head is black. These worms at

appearing on the plants shortly after
the leaves are out In the spring and
feeding at first in colonies, but later
scattering over the plants Currant
worms are voraciOus feeders, and
quickly strip the plants of foliage ;
hence, treatment should be given
promptly upon their discovery. An
other brood of larvae appears in the
early summer, and some seasons
there may be a partial third brood.
These insects are destroyed readily
with an arsenlcal (such as arsenate
of lead paste at the rate of two
pounds, or in powder form at one
pound, to fifty gallons of water),
sprayed or busted over the plants.
Effort should be made to destroy the
first brood and prevent later injury.
In treating the second brood when
the fruit is ripening, powdered helle-
bore should be used, diluted five TO
ten times with flour or air slaked
lime. or as a spray, one ounce TO one
gallon of water.

PERSONAL VISIT TO MARKET
Grower Enabled to Acquaint Himself

Many times a personal visit to the

TURKEYS SPREAD

prepared by the United States Depart

Turkeys are probably the natural
hosts of the gapeworm-a serious pest
!. among young chickens-and are an
important factor in their spread. This
has been demonstrated by zoologist
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture as the result Of expert
ments and other Investigations carried
on at Washington, ID. c., and on farms
in several localities in Maryland.
Many Turkeys Harbor Gapeworms.
During three winter seasons begin
ming i'm December 1916, a total Of 635
chickens and go turkeys were ex-
amined in the Washington city market.
No gapeworms were found in the
chickens, but 22.5 per cent of the
turkeys were found 10 he infested.
From l 10 worms were found in each
of the infested turkeys. A report of
these investigations has been published
by the department In Department
Bulletin 939, 1.-THE Turkey as an I'm
worms"
In view of the complete absence of
gapeworms from large series of
adult chickens and their common oc-
curTence In a similar series of adult
turkeys, 1t would appear the bulletin
says, that adult chickens are poorly
adapted as hosts OF gapewOrms. That
turkeys above 3 years Of age may
harbor gapeworms is established by
the fact that turkey which was kept
at the departments experiment sta
ton at Bethesda, Md, for three years
after II was brought there was found
after its death TO be infested with
a pair Of worms.
In the perpetuation of gapeworms
from year TO year on infested poultry
farms the two chief factors, according
to the bulletin, appear to be turkeys
