prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture
A method OF rendering negligible the
heavy damage that would otherwise be
inflicted by the sweet-potato weevil
has been found by the United
States Department of Agriculture. A
review of the work done in Florida
and Georgia is contained in depart
ment circular 201, bureau of entO-
mology. United States Department of
Agriculture. Measures successful in
the eradication of the pest in that Sec
ton are outlined briefly as follows:
The old field should be thoroughly
cleaned over at harvest, the vines be-
ing fed TO stock or burned. and the
field hogged over.
The potatoes should be banked as
far away as possible from the old
field and from the site selected for the
next years potato field.
All potatoes on the farm should be
disposed Of early.
No potato or plants from the old
crop should be used on the farm and
no draw-bed should be planted.
Old potato banks should be cleaned
as soon as empty.
Only draws from sources known to
be free from the weevil should be used.
The Georgia-Florida location was Sc
lected for the test because the situa-
ton there was serious, the section in

PREPARATION OF

Losses Because of Use of
improper Methods.
VITAL INFORMATION LACKING

Prepared BY the United States Department
of Agricultural
What TO do with low-grade hay has
long been vexing problem 10 the hay
trade. Losses running into the thous-
ands of dollars annually have been suf-
fered by producers because of the diff
aculty encountered in disposing of hay
that is improperly prepared for mar
ket, or is of mixture that causes 1t
TO be regarded as Of a low grade.
In Department Bulletin 971, Mar
keting Hay at Country Points, recent
ly issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, the failure to
remedy this situation is ascribed to
two chief reasons: The producer and
the dealers do not yet agree as to what
constitutes quality in hay, and many
producers lack vital market informa-
ton regarding the preparation of hay
for terminal and consuming markets.
Color Counts Most.

dealers can often tell from the color
whether hay was cut early. medium,
or late, and in their opinion the best
hay is the early cut hay and the
poorest that which was cut late.
The average hay grower. however,
in some sections at least, does not
agree with the terminal market theory
Of quality as indicated by color. Many
producers prefer medium or late cut
hay, especially for horses, because it
is easier TO cure and not as "washy"
as early cut hay.

there is sometimes a difference Of sew

reasons for the demand for certain
sizes and weights are numerous and

However. as in many other kinds Of
trading, ii pays the seller to aim TO
meet the desires of the buyer.
Undesirable Mixtures Cause Loss.

and asked to be shown a gold bag.
When the bag was produced the
two girls. both of whom were pretty
and stylishly dressed. asked the
shop assistant to weigh the bag.
The young man retired to the back
of the shop. and the girls calmly
put their hands through the par
tition separating the window from
the shop and scooped up two trays
full of diamond rings valued at
s95,e00.
Smile Sweetly and Leave.
When the young man came back
he noticed nothing, as the partition
had been closed after the theft. The
girls calmly asked the weight OF
the bag. and. being told, declared
II was too expensive.
They smiled sweetly and walked
out. They have not been seen
