Il number Of years, but Il was not pos
sible TO introduce it extensively be-
cause Of scarcity Of seed. In the re-
giOn where il was most valuable ii has
not been feasible to raise purple vetch
in large quantities because of climatic
conditions. In the North, on the
other hand, the seed can be grown sue
cessfully, but there the purple vetch
is not in as great favor for forage
as common vetch, which is harder and
has become established in popularity.
To make bridge between the two
geographically distant localities has
heen the work of number of years
on the part of the department experts.
Ii was first necessary to demonstrate
the value of purple vetch in the
South, and afterwards TO induce north
ern farmers TO substitute il TO some
extent for their customary crops. This
latter was difficult, because purple
vetch was not quoted in the market
and also because, where sale was eff
fected, farmers We're tempted TO sell
their entire stock, reserving no seed
TO maintain or extend the acreage.
The assistance Of u large California
fruit growers association was enlisted,
and last year 500 acres were grown
under guarantee, large portion OF
the yield being kept for seed. This
year northwestern California and Ore
gon farmers will receive 14la cents
pound for purple vetch seed, which
should give them from $50 TO 5000
per acre in addition to the straw. From
now on ii is expected sufficient seed
will be available for all needs.

VALUE OF UNDRAWN POULTRY

decomposition but it should be re-
menlbered also that the viscera decom-
pose more rapidly than other parts Of
the body, and IL left they may faint
or infect the rest of the bird.
I'm elaborate experiments with
drawn, partly drawn, and undrawn
poultry. conducted by the United
States Department Of Agriculture, 1t
was found that undrawn birds spoil
least quickly, and partly drawn ones
less quickly than the fully drawn ones

BUILDS WEEvIL-PR00F CRIB
Southern Farmer Demonstrates How
Log Building Can Be Made Secure
Against Insects.

The county agent of Taylor county,
Fla, reports that one farmer In his
community has worked out a way by
which log corn crib can be made
practically air-tight to guard The corn
against weevils. This farmer put
three or four inches Of dirt on the
floor and covered il with another floor.
The walls were covered with rough
lumber, and the cracks outside were
filed with clay. The door facings
were padded with cloth and the door
made of two layers of cypress lumber,
with piece of paper roofing between.
This arrangement cost about $40, IN
addition to the farmers labor Others
in this neighborhood are building

II Left Undisturbed Bugs of Va

PESTS HAVE BIG APPETITES

Plant Lice and other Sucking Par

Start Fight Early.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Gardeners are warned by specialists
of the United States Department of
Agriculture to prepare to combat the
little enemies of the garden" In
sects of various kinds are making their
appearance in vast numbers in gar
dens i'm all parts of the country, and If
left undlsturbed will defeat the gar
dener's best efforts and lay waste the
vegetable crops. This is the open sea-
which limit the number which may be
killed. The department specialists
urge the use Of the spray pump and
busting bag for the frequent appica-
ton of poisons i'm order to destroy
the pests before they destroy the gar
den. Early efforts in fighting insects
are most effective.
Little Bugs With Big Appetites.
In most localities the Colorado or
"hard-shell'' potato beetles are indus
triousy depositing clusters of small
yellowish eggs on the underside of the
potato leaves. In a few days these
hatch into little red, soft-shelled slugs
or 'soft-shells," as they are often
called, that have most wonderful ap-
petities. and unless poisons are ap-
piled they will soon strip the potato
plants of their leaves.
Perhaps there is no class of garden
insects the method of attack Of which
is so insidious as that of the plant
lice or aphids.
AT first very few lice may be found
hidden on the under side of the leaves
of melons, peas, cabbage, and other
vegetables. A little later the leaves be-
gin to curl up and to lose their color,
and an examination will show that
the lice" which the ants carried out
have became grandmothers, and the
under side of the leaves will be lit
orally alive with them, feasting on the
juices of the plants. At this stage
something must be done quickly, for
within few days there will be
another generation or brood at work.
Arsenate of lead and paris green

blood suckers, and it is necessary TO
use contact poisons. A preparation

The most common OF these contact
poisons is nicotine sulphate-a tobac-

from factories. This is a poison and,

without iniuring the plants, must be
used exactly according to the direc-
lions given on the container. United
States Department of Agriculture
Farmers Bulletin S56, on the control
of garden diseases and insects, has
the following Ia say regarding the use
of nicotine sulphate:
"For small garden plats one tea

which a one-inch cube of hard soap
should be added and thoroughly mixed
If larger quantity is desired, use one
fluid ounce to eight gallons of water
with the addition of one-half pound Of
soap. Full directions are given on the
covers of packages, and instructions
accompany them.
Effective Application Of Spray.
I'm the use of nicotine sulphate the
effective application of the spray Is Of
the utmost importance, since il is pri
marily upon this that the success or
failure OF the treatment depends. If
the liquid has stood for any length OF
time IL should he agitated thoroughly

must receive thorough coat of the
spray or they will not be killed. and
Immediate inspection after spraying
