der side of the potato leaves. In a
few days these eggs hatch into soft
shell beetles or slugs as they are some
times called In the soft shell, or slug
form the potato beetle has an enor-
nous appetite and colony of them
will soon strip the foliage from a hill
of potatoes.
Hand picking is perhaps the best
method of getting rid of the hard
shell beetles. They may be killed by
either crushing them or dropping them
into boiling water. The slugs or soft
shell beetles cannot be gathered to so
good advantage, but they may be pois-
Oned by sprinkling the plants, while
the dew is upon them, with mixture
consisting of a heaping teaspoonful of
paris green to a pint of air-Slaked lime
or land plaster. The easiest method
Of applying the mixture is to place 1t
in a cheese cloth or thin burlap bag
and dust the plants by shaking the bag
directly over them. 1t is not necessary
to apply the poison to all the plants
but only where the bugs have made
their appearance. The plants should
be inspected every day or two to see
that the bugs are not getting a start.
Flea Beetles Eat Holes.
Flea beetles are small insects that
eat round holes similar to shot holes
In the leaves of beans, tomatoes, and
a number of other garden crops. They
can be poisoned with the mixture of
paris green and lime referred to for
potato beetles, or they can driven
away by busting the plants with fine
road dust, air-slacked lime, or with
very dry, pOwdery, sifted coal ashes.
Plant lice are more difficult to con-
troll, as they do not eat the leaves,
but stick their beaks into the leaves
and suck the juices They are rather
difficult to control, as they are found
mainly on the under side of the leaves.
One remedy is to spray with some
form of tobacco extract or nicotine
sulphate, using about one teaspoonful
In o gallon Of water In which there
has previously been dissolved a one
ncii cube of laundry soap. The mix
-ure should be thoroughly stirred and |
applied underneath the leaves espe- |
,ially, using some form Of sprayer or
atomizer that will create a fine mist. |

Within six years Louisiana has
taken first place among the states as
regards value of strawberry produc-
ton. The 1921 season was the best
ever known in the industry, 1,400 car
loads of Louisiana berries being mar
keted in "A cities in the United States
and Canada. In Chicago the 24pint
crates brought as much as $3.50 each,
and during practically the entire mar
keting season Louisiana strawberries
sold at a higher price than any other
ber.i les on the market, due to the
high quality of the product.
With such record of achievement,
much interest centers in the opening
of the 1922 marketing season. AS
heretofore field station of the United
States Department of Agriculture will
be maintained in the Hammond dis
trict during the season to keep pro-
ducers and shippers informed daily of
strawberry marketing conditions in the
principal consuming markets, prevail
ing prices, carlot shipments from com
peting areas, and other marketing data
essential in the scientific marketing
of agricultural products, and granted
favorable conditions the 1922 season
should surpass even the 1921 record.
Nationwide Distribution.

Is OF national Importance. The crop

/ ton, d. G. The bulletin also contains
valuable suggestions to growers as to
methods which are probably followed
where the crop is most successful.
The story of the tomato is that Of a
delicacy which has lived down bad
name ard come into its own after
years Of effort. OF American origin, il
attracted unfavorable attention first
about 1900, and for a long time was
branded as poisonous and cOnsequent
ly avoided. Later, designated as the
love apple it found favor with a few
lovers Of delicacies and with growers.
By 1887 the total pack of canned to-
matoeS in the United States was about
100000 cases of "a one-quart cans
each. Now the commercial pack, ex-
elusive Of soups, purees, ketchup, and
pulp exceeds 100000 cases of "a
No. 3 cans. These figures do not in
clude the millions Of cans put up by
housewives for home consumption or
the fresh tomatoes which grace Amer
lean tables during the growing season.
Chief among the states where to-
matoes are raised for canning are, In
order named: Maryland. Indiana, Mis-
souri,, Delaware, New Jersey, New
York, Utah, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and
West Virginia. The acreage planted in
tomatoes for canning purposes only
in 1920 was 244,745. The yield from
that acreage was 1,OO3,35S tons.
The bulletin follows the methods
used from the seed to the can,
describes methods of planting, soils
best adapted for the vegetables
growth, tells how the crop may best
be harvested, and sums up the chief
for good results as fol-
lows:
Successful tomato growing depends
ON good farm practices, good seed,
good plants, proper fertilizer, careful
planting, clean cultivation, and dis
ease control through spraying and
through the use of disease-resistant |
varieties. Growers who pay attention
to these factors produce crops which
give them satisfactory returns"

FEED CROPS ARE CONVENIENT
May Not Bring in Much Money, But
They Take Care Of Animals
Which Can Be Sold.

Feed crops may not bring much cash
but they are very convenient to take
care of the animals. The animals may
be converted into cash or the prod
ucts from animals such as milk, cream,
etc. 1t is not an easy matter to pro-
duce too much feed. 1t is hoped that
the money generally paid out for feed
will be kept at home this year.

Hogs Before Killing.
Hogs intended for slaughter should
not be kept on full feed up to the
time of killing. 1t is better to hold
. them entirely without feed for 1S to
"a hours prior to that time, but they
should have all the fresh drinking wa
ter they want. 1t is essential to have
the proper equipment for rapid and
skillful work at killing time Such
equipment includes straight sticking
knife, cutting knife, a 14-inch steel
to keep the knives sharp, hog hook
for holding the animals a bell-shaped
stick scraper a gambrel for holding
the hog to facilitate cleaning and cut
ting the meat, and meat saw. II

loads also went to four cities in Can
ada. Chicago is the principal market
for the fruit, Detroit, Boston, Pitts
burgh and New York ranking next in
the order given. Heat, cold and
distance-marketing obstacles that
seemed insurmountable a few years
ago-have, been overcome by the grow
ers and shippers, and with continued
careful selection, grading, packing and
shipping, marketing experts say that
the industry will enjoy increasing
prosperity.
During the early years of the straw
berry industry in Louisiana several va
rieties of berries were grown, and Chi
cago was the main market outlet. To
day the Klondike variety is grown ex-
have wider distribution than the
Strawberries from any other section
of the country. The quality of the
fruit is dependable, and there is every
where a demand for the berries. When
picked the berries are carried to pack
ing sheds, where practically each one
is handled separately. Both the "a
pint HallOck crate and the 24-pint
ventilated crate have been used in
packing the fruit, although during the
past few seasons there has been a con-
siderable decrease in the use of Hal
locks crates, which are known locally
as coffin crates. Practically all grow
ers are now using ventilated crates, as
berries shipped in such containers ar
rive at market in sound condition and
usually command premium over the
price paid for berries in nOn-ventilated
crates.
Trains of Strawberries.
Fully 80 per cent of the marketed
crop is shipped by express, the rail
road company providing two or three
express fruit trains daily. These trains
run on a schedule of 40 miles an hour,
which puts the fruit on the Chicago |
market before daylight the second
Less than carload ship |

The claim that too much manure

true. 1t may if it is very dry sea-

EUGENE. Ore, Sept 25.-The eff

patrol, in Oregon this year is high,
according to state forest officials
who have accompanied the aviators
over different sections of the wood
cd areas of the western part Of
Oregon.
The planes are making their head
quarters at the Eugene municipal
aviation field and have no regular
routes to cover as they had last year
and the year before, but go on
fights whenever any particular FIRE
is to be observed. The observers
make notes on the exact location of
the blaze, it's tsxent, and whether or
not it is burning green timber and
report is made to the land forces,
thus enabling them to better COM
bat the fires.
Eight planes are stationed in
Eugene and each day three or four
them leave the local base for
different portions of the western
part of the state. returning each
evening No subbases are being
maintained this year
