GREEN MANURING AIDS SOIL
Really One Of Oldest Methods-
Crops for This Purpose Were
Used by Ancients.

Green manuring-plowing under
green crops-as a means OF soil I'M
provement, although it. has been en-
phasized in recent years, can hardly
be called a new. discovery, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. 1t is really one of the Oldest
methods. Crops for this purpose were
used by the ancients, the Romans US
ing lupines, which were sown in Sep
TENDER and turned under in May for
the benefit Of the following crop.
In Germany the use Of lupines be-
gan in the middle Of the Nineteenth
century and has proved an important
factor in retaining the sandy lands
of parts, OF Prussia. In England
legumes and other plants are COM
monty used; in India and Japan the
farmers gather green plants Of many
kinds, sometimes even cutting twigs
from the trees and carrying them to
the rice fields.
In the United States the use Of
special green-manure crops is much
more general in the South than in the
North. Under irrigation they play IN
. important part in orchard culture In
the West, but not under dry-turming
conditions. A>r' 49,.

probably represent IS per cent. II the
number Of pigs saved per litter is as
low, as this spring. however, the pros
pectiye increase in number Of pigs
next fall will be materially reduced.
The average number of pigs saved per
litter, as reported for this spring, is
5.66 pigs. compared with 81 pigs last
spring and SO pigs last fall.
Smaller increases In East and South.
The survey In Pennsylvania, New
York and Maryland shows an increase
of only per, cent in the number OF
filters for the. first half OF the year,
while the total number Of pigs saved
shows decrease Of 8 per cent from
a year ago The number Of sows bred

of % per cent oyer. the number Of sows
which narrowed last fall. A total in
crease of Hsper cent lin the number Of

.vided the intentions Of farmers to pro-
duce fall pigs are carried out.
In the Southern states, lncludlns
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, an
increase of i per cent in the number
Of spring litters is reported, but the
total number of pigs saved, is-> the
same as last, year ON account of the
smaller number Of pigs saved per lit
ter. These Southern, states show an
increase of - per cent in the number
Of sows intended to be bred for fall
narrowing over, last year, with total
prospective increase of II per cent in
the number Of filters for the year.
The survey IS based upon about
100000 schedules received from farm
ers in. the Corn Belt states, which
produce about 20 fper cent Of the pigs
in the United States, and from
farmers in the eastern and southern
states. The schedules were distributed
by rural mail carriers to IS farmers

Der Of pigs to be- produced in the

A net increase Of las per cent in

The survey shows gross increase

The department points out that
stocks Of pork products other than
lard in storage May are 33 per cent
ess than the five-year average and 2G
per cent less than year ago. Lard
stocks May 1 were 16 per cent less
than the five-year average and 81 per

Of other meats are correspondingly
low.
: 1t is also pointed out that the sur

average weight of hogs marketed has
varied as much as 81 per cent, or

PREVENT OUTBREAKS
OF INJURIOUS PEST.
Control. Webworms in Corn by
Cultural Methods.
After Crop Is Once Planted and Field
Is Found to Be Infested There
Is No Practicable Way Of.
Getting Rid Of Them.

:(PrepaYed by the United States Department
OF Agriculture)
Outbreaks of webworms in corn in
the Middle Eastern states can be pre-
vented only by cultural methods, ac-
cording to the bureau Of entomology
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture. Unlike most Of our de-
structive pests, the various species
of webworms are all natives of. Amer
lea and have not been introduced
from foreign lands. -. -..
Summer or very early fall blowing
should be- practiced. Flowing in late
October or November has little effect
because the worms are already In
their winter webs under the surface
of the ground. Land that has been
in sod or pasture, or lain fallOw and
grown up to weeds and grass should
be plowed in July or August, II 1t IS
intended to. plant it to corn the fol-
lowing spring. IT, ~
Grasslands of all kinds-meadOws
pastures, or lawns-furnish the nor
NAL food Of sod webWorms, but they
also gnaw young corn plants below
the surface and deform them so as
to prevent the production Of grain.
After the corn is once planted and
the field is found to be infested there
is no practicable method Of getting
rid of the worms; the only thing that
can be done is to produce conditions
that will permit the corn to grow in
spite Of them.
Disking in the spring, the application
of fertilizer, and the sowing Of sound
seed are the chief preventive meas
lures that will have any effect. Nei-
Their poisoning nor trapping has met
with any success.
