SPRAY FOR ALFALFA WEEvIL


The county agent leader in Utah
reporting TO the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture says the spray de-
veloped by the office of cereal and for
age insect investigations, bureau Of en-
tomology. In the department has In
creased the production of the sprayed
over the unsprayed alfalfa fields by an
average of one-half ton to the acre.
This spray Is made Of two to two and
one-half pounds of lead arsenate or
calcium arsenate to 100 gallons of wa
ter. 1t Is applied In a fine mist with a
power sprnyer at the rate of 80 to 100
gallons to the acre. The state leader
says 3 35i farms were included in the
demonstration, which covered 10.113
acres. 1t is estimated the saving eff
fected by this form of alfalfa control
amounted to s69,967.

Energetic measures against the

Missouri but 10 corn Us well are
urged by the bureau Of entomology,
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, I'm view Of reports of an impend-

Widespread and severe infestatiOns
Of the pest are reported I'm the whole
central Mississippi valley region,
starting In northern Texas and ex-
tending In a 'northeasterly direction
over Oklahoma. Kansas and Missouri,
touching Nebraska, and extending
across Illinois and Indiana into Mich

Generally Distributed Through State.
The chinch bugs latest advices say,
have had mild winter and are gem
orally distributed throughout the
Missouri wheat and rye fields, breed
Ing In considerable numbers In the
St. Louis neighborhood early in May.
The farmers, 1t is said. have been
watching the pest more closely than
usual this spring, but all of them do
not know yet that there is danger that
their corn may be damaged worse
than normal last year. Wheat is
likely to ripen one or two weeks
earlier this year, and the rains have
delayed the planting Of corn.
The bugs are certain to migrate
when the wheat ripens and the corn
will be so backward that damage by
the bugs is likely to be very severe.
1t is well to expect the bugs to begin
migrating to corn as soon as the wheat
butts begin to harden into maturity
ten days before the heads are ripe.
Any barrier work or creosote repellant
line work should begin as the bugs
VIII migrate in Increasing numbers as
the wheat stalk ripens upward. The

TOWN HAS PUREBREDs ONLY
ohio Township Is 100 Per Gent on
Right Side-No Grade or Scrub
Sires to Be Found.

The township of Jackson, in Hardin
county, Ohio. is entirely free from
grade and scrub slres. In notifying
the United States Department of Agrl-
culture of this fact, Prof. John w.
Wuichet of the Ohio agricultural cx-
tension service. adds, "This is the first
township which has come to our atten-
ton that we feel satisfied is 100 per
cent on the right side. No sire was
considered purebred unless it could be
proved that its sire and dam were
registered"
The survey of slres included the
principal classes Of live stock, except
poultry. and was made for advance
credit by student In the college of
agriculture. The survey showed that
the township included 1855 farms, on
which we're 81 purebred boars. %
purebred rams, purebred beef bulls,
3 purebred dairy bulls, and purebred
stations. No grade or scrub sires Of
any kind were found in the township.

rlers, therefore, must be maintained
from the time of migration until pos
sibly two or three weeks have elapsed.
Sow Trap Crop.
It will be found of much value 10
sow two drill widths of mlllet between
corn and the nearby fields of wheat
and rye. The more quickly this is
done the better, so as to make as good
growth as possible of this trap crop
before the bugs attack 1t. When the
bugs have migrated into the trap
crop 1t should be plowed seven OF
more inches deep. Care must be
taken to pillow deeply and well. then
to pack the ground with a drag OF
harrow or roller. Little time or work
is required to make this strip and the
cost is small. 1t has hitherto been
found very profitable.
