Typical Growing in

of unprOductive orchards Some of these orchards were planted on very poor soil, and for the worst of these the only apparent alternative is that of abandonment. Other orchards do not produce well because the trees were planted too close together, and are now badly crowded For these 1t appears that the most effective rem edy would be that of removing the alternate trees, pruning those remain ing, and of improving the fertility of the soil. For orchards composed of seedling trees, or inferior varieties. top-wOrking is the solution.
 To Build Up Industry.
 In large outlying districts within the pecan range, yet beyond the limits of SucceSSful' culture of southern varie- ties, the question is to build up the Orcharding industry, and how to extend it's range. In regions to which the species is indigenous the first ques- tion is that of finding new varieties suitable for planting The native for est and field specimens should be eX- amined for trees bearing desirable nuts in sufficient quantity to be profitable. Scions from such trees should be used for top-working the inferior seedlings. Small wild seedlings can be worked over to desirable sorts by customary nursery methods. Some common mis- takes made in attempting to top-work trees are; Using those that are too old: cutting off branches that are toe Ior irty fn<, set, thus attempting to do too much in single season; top-working trees planted too close together, and top- working trees standing in out-of-the- way places where it will never be pos sible to give them good care.
 The development of the nut-cracking industry should help the pecan into a 12 months of the year, market, and give employment to labor during otherwise idle months.
 | The kernels of the pecan contain q large percentage of oil which is quite as sensitive to temperature changes as is butter. Tn order that the shelled meats, as well as the unshelled nuts, may be kept iii prime condition for the longest possible period, it is necessary that the, nuts be well dried before they are packed or barreled for shipment, and that the product be kept In a cool and .weHyentilated place during the winter months. As soon as warm weather begins these products should be placed in cold storage at tenn perature between 30 and 36 degrees. In the smelling of nuts there is con- siderable waste in the form of shells and broken meats. Growers. and han. Iydlers are trying to fad uses for these products, such as fertilizer, tanning 1 material and fuel.

MAKING BROWN ALFALFA HAY
Very Similar to siiase and Some Feed. CTS Think It Ia Superior to
 Green as Feed.

Ordinary fieid-tured alfalfa hay is a bright green color, but sometimes when moisture conditions are right, stack curing results in a brown or black hay that Is very similar to si. Iage. It has a pleasant odor, is very palatable to live stock, and some feed CTS think It is superior to green hay in feeding value. This kind of hay results from putting up the alfalfa when it is more or less green. Most of it is the result of accident rather than intent, as definite efforts to make it have generally resulted in failure and q great deal of loss. Certain con ditiOns, however, are essential in mak- ing brown hay. It should be put up in gOod-SiZed stacks, as 1t mOlds and chars to such an extent in small loose stacks that it Is not fit for feed.
 From. reports that have been col Iected from different alfalfa-grOwine areas, the United States Department of Agriculture concludes that good brown alfalfa hay is equal or some what superior in palatability to good tield-cured hay, but not superior to it in feeding value. The method of mak. ing would be important could it be de pended upon for saving hay In eli mates where there Is so much rain fall that 1t is difficult to cure the hay in the field. Because of danger from spontaneous combustion 1t Is not ad visable to try to make brown hay ir barns or mows.

POISON BATS WILL
 KILL OFF CUTW0RMS
White Arsenic or Paris Green
 WilI Prove Efficient.
Insects Are Especially Fond of To matoes, Cabbage, Lettuce and Other Vegetables = They
 Are Voracious Feeders.

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture-)
 Cutworms can readily be controlled by the use of poisoned bait, the United States Department of Agriculture has demonstrated. This is the way to prepare and apply the poison:
 To one bushel of dry bran add one pound of white arsenic or paris green and mix thoroughly into Q mash with four gallons of water, in which has been stirred one-half gal lon of sorghum or other cheap mo lasses. This amount will be suffi- cient to treat four or five acres of cultivated crops. After the mash has stood for several hours scatter it in Jumps of about the size of a marble over the fields where the injury is beginning to appear. Put 1t about the bases of the plants which have been set out. Apply the mash late in the day, so as to have the poison ; in place around the plants before ; night. when the cutworlns are active a Apply. a. second time If necessary
 Cutworms destroy hundreds . oi thousands, even millions of dollars worth, of crops every year, throughout the :. United States. They especially attack tomatoes, cabbage. lettuce. and other vegetables that have been started under glass and transplanted Gu worms sometimes appear in great numbers in the spring and early sum mer, and frequently do severe injur, before their ravages are noticed.
 Their method of attack is to cut off the young plants near the ground They are of large size and are .vo racious feeders, capable of destroying many plants in single night. Offer they cut down more than they car deFOur.

 Many important problems in grow ing and marketing oceans are confront ing the growers.
 Until recently the most experienced growers of oceans have considered the cowpea to be an excellent summer cover crop for use in their orchards, but, says the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, it has been found that this crop is a favorite host plant or crop for the southern green plant hug or "stink buzz which attacks the immature nuts and by perforating the soft shell with its proboscis, reaches and injures the tender kernel. With the subsequent growth and develop ment of the nuts there arise at the points of perforation definite areas of deadened tissue in the kernel, possess ing bitter or acrid taste. and con- mOnly designated as kernel spot'' Large quantities of the finest nuts were substitute soil-imprnving crop for growing in pecan orchards is there fore needed. Among the promising things are beggarweed. bush velvet bean and soy bean. So far as is known the beggarweed is not host plant for the bug and the bush velvet bean and the soy bean, are not supposed to be attacked by this insect Bush velvet beans are increasing in popularity as q cover crop in this section and may he the solution of the problem. As yet, ic in determining the suitability of these cover crops in pecan orchards and their efficiency m controlling the "stink bug" Orchardists wnO use either bush velvet beans CT soy beans as cover crops should carefully inspect their crops at the end of the season to de termine whether the percentage of nuts with kernel spot is satisfactorily reduced on the areas in which these crops are grown in comparison with the same variety where no. cover crops are used. These are important prob lems on which the growers themselves can assist in securing trustworthy in- formation.
 Plan to Destroy "stink Bu9."
 It has been suggested that the "stink bug" feeds only on seed pods. If this is true, crops, such as the velvet bean, which are late in maturing seed pods, could be grown for summer cover crop and turned under or cut up with disk harrows in early October before the pecan is ready to harvest. In this way the insect probably would be de- stroyed and the ground left In good condition for the nut harvest. Growers and experimenters are expecting to obtain valuable information on these crops during the coming season. =

WOOL AND MEAT FROM SHEEP
Animals Require Very Little Grain and Are Valuable In Destroying
 Noxious Plants.

AI average high grade sheep can pro\ce a fleece weighing from five fo eight pounds, and raise lamb weighing 80 pounds in year. If nee essary 1t can live without a single mouthful of grain, since forage crops and permanent pastures will carry the sheep the year round. Sheep have two important advantages over other classes of live stock. They require practically no grain and they destroy brush and bushes.
