PLANS TO CONTROL EROSION
Gulies Cause of Considerable Loss by
Washing Away Fertile Soil
Ways to Reclaim.

The gully Is one of the things that
keep rain from being an unmiXed bless
ing to the farmer. That it is an in
convenience and causes damage Is
obvious, but in Farmers Bulletin 1884,
"Gullies-How to Control and Reclaim
Them" by G. e. Ramser, just issued
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, it is shown that loss Is
produced in 10 different ways, and that
the most important is the washing
away Of fertile soil that can never be
returned.
After discussing the different types
of gulies and their causes, the bulle-
tin, which is illustrated with photo
graphs and drawings, goes on to de-
scribe in detail methods of controlling
erosion, such as blowing in and seed
Ing, planting trees, and building dams
Of various kinds. BY following the
suggestions and plans farmers should
be able to prevent further erosion in
most cases and to reclaim badly gull
lied land In some cases expensive
structures such as concrete walls are
needed, but usually inexpensive ma
terials-brush, straw and stones-are
recommended.

ment at Washington, d. c.

In California show that chlorine may
be used with good results If handled
properly. The chemical warfare serv-
ice used phOsgene on rats in Porto
Rico with promising results. Some Of
these war gases will be compared with
carbon bisulphide for the killing Of
woodchucks and other rodents in their
burrows.
EntOmologists of the department
have already worked in cooperation
with the War department in testing
various gases on insect pests Of grow
ing plants and those that infest stored
grain, but it has not yet been found
advisable to recommend anything to
take the place of hydrocyanic-acid gas
or carbon bisulphide.
The serious disadvantages Of many
Of these new gases is that they are
dangerous or very Irritating to men,

HOT FORMALDEHYDE is BEST
Potato Growers Interested in Method
Because It Saves Time and
Is Effective.

Many Minnesota potato growers are
interested in the hot fOrmaldehyde
method of treating potato seed be-
cause 1t saves time, is less poisonous
than corrosive sublimate, does not cor
rode metals, and is effective for both
scab and rhiZOctOnia.
The solution is made by mixing two
pints of 40 per cent formaldehyde to
so gallons of water. This is heated to
a temperature between 118 degrees f.
and 122 degrees f. The potatoes are
dipped in the solution for two minutes
and then dumped in pile and COW
cred with a canvas cover or sacks for
one hour. They can then be dried or
cut and planted Immediately. For
maldehyde, when used without heat
ing, will not control rhizoctonia and
requires one and half hours soaking
for best results in control of scab.

makers TO give good results in sorting
out male, female and infertile eggs.
In all cases they have been found to
be useless for the purpose, as two
persons could never get the same re-
suit with a lot Of eggs, and Matching
tess showed that one could do just
as well by closing his eyes and picking
ouS the eggs at random.
On account of the difference in the
color of the down of the sexes it is
often possible to select with consd-
cradle accuracy the hens and cOckerels
of the Barred Plymouth Rock as soon
as they are Matched, but in the case
Of most other breeds ana varieties this
selection cannot be made with any GER
tai1ty until some time later. Those
who know the breed well are able to
distinguish between the sexes of Leg
horns when they are three to four
weeks old. The sexes of the medium
weight breeds, with the exception CIV
en- above, have the same appearance
until the chicks are 10 or u weeks
old. The surface sex differences in
the Asiatic breeds are not as apparent
up Until the birds are three or four
months old.
There may be differences that will
make it possible to sort the sexes
earlier, but so far poultrymen have
found no reliable basis for selection.

prepared by tho United States Department
of Agrtculture.)
Deadly gases that were developed
for war purposes are now being tried
out by the United States Department
Of Agriculture as means for destroy
ing noxious birds, animals, and insects.
Some Of them promise to be useful
when applied under proper conditions,
particularly those that are heavier
than air and can be used on burrowlng
rodents, and possibly subterranean In
sects and pests In stored products.
Kill Destructive Birds.
The most recent proposal Is to use
gas to kill destructive birds that con-
gregate in marshes. In the coming
fall the biological survey, in co-opera-
ton with the chemical warfare serv-
Ice, Is planning to make trial Of the
method on blackbirds in the Imperial
valley Of California. In that region
these birds are said to do at least $780,
600 worth Of damage 10 the milo crop
each year. Because Of their feeding
habits it Is impossible to destroy these
birds with poisoned bats, bat, as they
roost on the reeds in the marshes, 1t
Is thought that they can be killed by a
gas cloud at night when the wind Is
favorable. The blackbirds are migra-
tory and return to the same places
year after year. 1t is thought that a
big killing in a certain locality will
probably free it of the pests for many
years. A few other birds in the black
bird-infested marshes will be killed at
the Same time, but the department be-
lieves that these local birds will soon
reach their normal numbers again.
Try Gas on Rodents.
Arrangements also are being made
by the biological survey with the chem
ical warfare service for investigating
the possibility of using poison gases
on such burrowing rodents as rats,
prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and
woodchucks. Tests on pocket gophers
and ground squirrels by these two CO.

GREAT IMPORTANCE OF OATS
Used in Ration of Growing Chick 1t
Does Much to Build Up Strong
Frame and Muscle.

The importance Of oats in the poul-
try ration cannot well be overloOke ed.
1t forms the backbone in many rations.
1t is chiefly important in the growing
ration for young chicks for 1t will
grow frame and muscle more eco
nomically than any other grain. Steel
cut oats, rolled oats, or growing mash
es having ground oats or oatmeal as
a base are exceptionally economical
feeds for growing stock. Fed in con-
nection with buttermilk, 1t makes the
best growing ration now known. OF
course, grain mixture should be fed

Of copperas (sulphate of iron), made
by dssolving two pounds Of copperas

to make growth. You can also kill
this weed by shaking qulckllme in wa
ter and sprinkling the water and lime
over the plants, repeating as often as

HESSIAN FLY HARMS
WINTER WHEAT CROP
Infestation Regarded as Worst
in Many Years.
Where Parasite Is Present In Large
Numbers Crop Should Be Plowed
Under, as It Will Not Amount
to Anything.

A prevalence Of Hesslan fly Is re-
ported in winter wheat sections and,
judging from samples received from
many areas, the infestation Is the
worst for several years.
Favorable climatic conditions, cou-
pied with an absence of a parasite
that ordinarily destroys the larvae of
the Hessian fly and too early planting
Of the wheat last fall, is the cause
of the outbreak. Where wheat was
sown early 1t needs to be carefully
examined for traces of the fly.
Signs of the infestation may be de-
tected by examining the wheat field.

Hessan Fly and Wheat-lnsert Shows
Adult Female, Greatly Enlarged.

If 1t has stunted plants upon which
small brown seedlike bodies are at
tached to the stalks, the fly is prob
ably present in the pupal or FLAX
seed stage. These brown seedlike
bodies can be found below the surface
of the ground between the leaf sheath
and the stem of the plant. Within a
few weeks small gnatlike flies hatch
out, laying a second crop of eggs which
result in the spring brood of flies.
The Hessian fly has four stages in
its life. The egg, the maggot, the
pupal and the fly. 1t is the maggot, a
white, tlaky worm, about one-ffth Of
an inch long, that does the damage.
If the plant survives the first attack
there Is chance Of considerable dam
age resulting from the second crop,
which eat the stems and cause the
grain to lodge and lessons the grain
production.
Wheat that Is badly infested with
the Hessian fly ought to be plowed I'M
der, as 1t will not amount to anything
as crop and will only serve as a
Matching ground for further CROPS
Often some parts of the yield only are
affected and the farmer may use his
judgment as to turning under only a
part of the field.
Where volunteer seedlings of last
years crop are detected containing
Hessian fly they should be plowed I'M
der at once. Il there are any suspi-
cious signs of the presence of the fly
in the fields the entomologists urge
that samples be sent to the state en-
tomologist for examination.
