To Offset the serious losses In the
citrus fruit industry occurring through

anges, grapefruit and lemons usually
allowed to go to waste, the bureau Of
chemistry Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has investi-
gated methods for getting by-products
that will return a profit to the grower.
Some of these products require a pre-
liminary expense for equipment. but
It has been demonstrated that the in
vestment can soon be made profitable.
Grapefruit juice, which is increasing
in popularity, can be easily made IL

MAKING BROWN alfalfa HAY
Very Similar to siIaoe and Some Feed.
+, !" ers Think 1t IL Superior to
Green as Feed.

Ordinary field-cured alfalfa hay is q
bright green color, but sometimes
when moisture conditions are right,
stack curing results in brown or
black hay that is very similar to 81
lage. 1t has pleasant odor, is very
palatable to live stock, and some feed
ers 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 great deal of loss. Certain con-
ditiOns, however, are essential in MAX
ing brown hay, 1t should be put up in
good-sized stacks, as it molds and
chars to such an extent in small loose
stacks that It Is not fit for feed.
:, From reports that have been col.
lected from different alfalfa-growing
areas, the United States Department
of Agriculture concludes that good
brown alfalfa hay is equal or some
what superior in palatability to good
field-cured hay, but not superior to it
in feeding value. The method of max
ing would be important could it be de-
pended upon for saving hay in eli
mates where there is so much rain
fall that it is difficult to cure the hay
in the field. Because Of danger from
spontaneous combustion it is not adj
;;visable to try to make brown hay in
barns or mOws. ;-.

POISON BATS Will
KILL OFF CUTW0RMS
White Arsenic or Paris Green
Will Prove Efficient.
Insects Are Especially Fond Of To-
matoes, Cabbage, Lettuce and
Other Vegetables They
Are Voracious z eeders.

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 the5poison:
To one bushel of dry bran add one
pound of white arsenic or paris
green and mix thoroughly into
mash with four gallons of water, in
which has been stirred One-half gal
Ion of sorghum or other cheap mo-
lasses. This amount will be sufti-
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 marble
over the fields where the injury is
beginning to. appear. Put it 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 cutworms are active.
Apply second time if necessary.
CutwOrms destroy hundreds OF
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.
Cutworms sometimes appear in great
numbers in the spring and early sum-
mer, and frequently; do severe injury
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 aisingle night Often
they cut down more than. they can

however, lacking. But there Is no
doubt of the theoretical claims Of the
Frenchman Louis Pierre Mouillard,
who died a quarter of a century ago
in poverty at Cairo, In two volumes
he set out the principles that should
guide man In seeking conquest Of the
air. To seek to fly by initiating the
beating Of birds wing was not feas-
ible. Men should initiate such birds
as fly with steady wings and avail
themselves Of the currents Of the air."
Ten years after Mouillard was dead
with his dreams of an actual machine
unfulfilled) the Wright brothers began
the development of his ideas.
