From the standpoint of their food
plants. injurious insects may be
grouped roughly into two classes:
First, those which are choice feeders
and ordinarily attack only a single
crop, or crops of a single class, al
though when they are extremely
abundant they may resort to other
crops or weeds. Examples are the
asparagus beetles and asparagus
miner and the large tomato worms,
which confine their feeding to plants
of a single family. Second, those
known as general feeders-insects
which are not particular as to their
food plants. Some of these devOur

The widespread interest in the use
of purebred sires as means of inn
proving live stock is evident from the
number of counties where the work
has already gone forward. Livestock

ton, in the islands of Guamsand Porto

Pan-American Conference Important

John Barrett, former director
general of the Pan-American union,
and before that service, United
States minister to Argentina, Panama
and Colombia. say that the Latin
Americans think that 1t would have
been an act of courtesy by the United
States if it had invited at least one
or two of the larger American repub-
lies to share in the Washington limi-
tation of arms conference, and he re-
marks that only their respect for and
confidence in President Harding and
Secretary Hughes have kept the Latin
American newspapers from Mexico and
Cuba south to Argentina and Chile
from protesting about this matter of
the nOn-inclusion of Latin America.
And then Mr. Barrett adds: 1.-THE
holding of the fifth Pan-American con-
ference may make up for this possibly
unavoidable situation. Let us so hope

Live Stock Improvement Campaigns
Effective in Increasing Dairy
Production.

The average dairy cow in this coun-
try produces annually about 1000
pounds of milk and 160 pounds Of but
ter fat. According to 10000 yearly in
dividual COW records just tabulated by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, the average cow-testing as
ISOLATION COW produces $3.50 pounds of
milk and 246 pounds of butter fat

plenty Of room for climbing, and such
commendable live stock Improvement
campaigns as the Better Siresa1Bet-

creasing the efficiency and production
of American dairy stock.

SOY BEAN IN CROP ROTATION

either an entire season or part of a
season following some grain crop. The
cash value of theSseed is sufficient to
encourage growing the beans as one Of
the main crops. When the whole sea-

ready for harvest. They feed rhleny
on roots and attack especially pO-
tatOes, corn. and strawberries, but
they are general feeders. White grubS,
or grub worms" ares the larvae or
young of the brown May or June
beetles, with which most persons are
familiar. The beetles occur in the
North as late as August. while in the
South they appear in April or earlier.
Control.--Deep blowing is the most
effective remedy for white grubs.
Cross blowing and deep disking are
sometimes necessary, and the ground
should be disturbed often and kept
clean of weeds So that the grubs can
be eliminated.
Rotation Of crops, avoiding the
planting of potatoes, beels, sweet corn,
and other crops on land which has
been for some time in the same crops
or in Strawberries, grasses, or weeds
is advisable. Fertilizers. especially
kainit, as heavy top-dressing are Of
benefit. Gas lime is valuable. Hogs,
if allowed the run of the newly plowed
garden or when the crop is off, will
eat large numbers of grubs. Domestic
fowls will pick up grubs on newly

WireWorms.
WirewOrms, like white grubs. are
common pests i'll the garden and are
also general feeders. They are the
offspring of swapping beetles, or
'snap-bugs," and are of long oval
form.
Their tastes are similar to those
of the white grubs They attack and
often do great injury to potatoes and
other plants bearing tubers, as well
as to carrots, beets, sweet potatoes,
and onions.
control.-The remedies advised for
white grubs apply also to wfreworms,
with due care in selecting land for
planting and in fall blowing and crop
rotation. Wireworms, however, are
much more difficult to control than
white grubs.
Blister Beetles.
Blister beetles are common farm
pests and are very destructive to
vegetables, especially beans, peas. pO-
tatoes. and beets. They travel in the
same manner as army worms and are
sometimes called ''army beetles" for
this reason. They are hungry feeders
and travel frequently in lines, eating
everything in their path, chewing up
apparently more than they need for
food. They are slender in form, some
what soft bodied, and colOred various
ly. Some species are perfectly black,
some are yellow with black stripes,
others are of the same color with
several light stripes, some are gray,
and others are gray spotted with black.
Blister beetles are particularly abund-
ant in the Southwest, but occur prac-
tically everywhere. Different species
appear at different times, usually after
the plants have made about one-third
growth, and they continue until late
in the season.

day. Cow testing also showed the diff

cows. Some of the cows made two
and One-half times as much as other
individuals do.
1T was through the testers sug-
gestion that we started in with pure
bred cattle in earnest, and some day
we are going to have good pure-bred
herd. Another thing the testing
showed us is that we had sold regis
tered bull to be slaughtered which had
five daughters that averaged over 49,
300 pounds of milk and 525 pounds of
butter fat. A lesson like this one will
be remembered long time.
Putting it in few words, our asso-
citation work helped us to feed, care
for, and improve our cattle and study

Assistant Secretary of War Benedict
Crowell, president of the Aero Club
Of America and one of the inc0rpora-

plans to put its first line in operation
between New York and Chicago with
two giant rigid airships inflated with
helium gas.
The ships now being built for the
Chicago-New York line are being fab
ricated in Germany, and will each have
100000 cubic feet capacity, providing
accommodations for 100 passengers and
80 tons of mail and express matter.
The purpose of the corporation is
to extend airship routes all over the

Tomatoes, sweet potatoes. and other
truck plants, particularly when started
under glass. are likely to be injured
by cutwOrms when transplanted.
These appear in great numbers in
the spring and early summer, and
the injury is often complete before
the gardener notices it. The chief in
