Bee Now Subject
to New Diseases
Circular Describes Isle of
Wight Disorder and Meth
DDS for It's Control.

AS a result of the freedom which
American beekeepers formerly en-
joyed regarding the Importation Of
bees. there are now three brood dis
eases. nosema disease, the so-called
paralysis. and perhaps other diseases,
all of which, so far as they are con-
tagious or infectious. were assured
ly brought to this country from
abroad, since the honeybee is not
native to America.
One Dangerous Disease.
There is still at least one dangerous
disease of adult bees which apparent
ly is not present In the United States.
although II is prevalent in most coun-
tries of Europe. particularly in Great
Britain, France, and Switzerland. This
is the Isle Of Wight disease. as II Is
commonly called. which Is caused by
parasitic mites which invade the
thoraxes of bees and feed on their
hosts. This results in interference
with the flight muscles of the bee,
ultimately causing death. The most
common symptom or severe attack
Of Isle of Wight disease in bee
colony Is the fact that many of the
bees are crawling about on the ground
unable to fly.
Methods for Control.
In new department circular, No
2S7, The Occurrence of Disease of
Adult Bees, ii. Z. F. Phillips, apicul-
turist. discusses the characteristics
and European distribution of Isle of
Wifht disease, methods for controlling
II abroad. and the measures taken In
this country to prevent its introduc-
tica. A copy of the regulations gov
er1ing the importation of adult honey
bees into the United States is included
In an appendix to the bulletin. Un-
der an act of congress of August 81,
1922, no adult honeybees may be im-
ported except for purposes of expert
mental or scientific study. Exception
Is made of countries in which the
secretary of agriculture shall have de-
termined that no diseases dangerous
to adult honeybees exist. The only
country at present coming under this
exception is the Dominion of Canada,
where preventive measures similar to
our own are taken against the intro
duction of bee diseases. especially the
Isle of Wight disease.

Barberry Hedge Spoiled
Minnesota Crop of Oats

Hundreds and hundreds of instances
can be cited to show that the common
barberry is the most important factor
In the spread of rust in northwest
states. In a government bulletin on
rust and barberry. DR.. e. c. Stakman
of University Farm relates the expert
ence Of farmer at Crystal Bay, Lake
Minnetonka. Mimi. who had bar
berry hedge Of 635 bushes. He had
tried to grow oats on his farm for 10
years, but each year the Black stem
rust destroyed almost all the grain.
Then one spring he destroyed the
hedge before the bushes had become
rusted. Ten days before the harvest
the field was examined thoroughly and
no stem rust could be found. The
yield and quality proved to be excel
lent. II was the first time in ten years
that a crop had been grown success
fully on that farm. Every Minnesota
land owner should begin. early In the
spring to destroy the barberry for the
protection Of grain crops.

Late Pruning of Grapes
Prevents Frost Injury

''Tt is better to delay pruning grape
vines until the buds show signs Of
starting to open. than to prune them
earlier" says V. r. Gardner, profess
sor of horticulture at the Missouri
College of Agriculture. "vines which
are pruned that hate may bleed some,
but II will not hurt them. The effect
of late pruning Is to delay the fruit
ing shoots of the coming season a
week or ten days and thus make them
safer from injury by frost.
"Since the fruit clusters of grapes
are borne on the new growth OF the
current season rather than on the old
wood, the grape ought to be so pruned
that just enough new shoots will grow
out to provide reasonable-sized crop.
''If too many buds are left there
will be too much new shoot growth"
Mr.. Gardner says. "The vines will be
weakened and the fruit crop will be
inferior. II the vine Is pruned too
severely. the new growth Is mainly
good growth with but few grape
clusters.
'For the average variety Of grape
grown In this section of the country,
In order to get so or IS clusters of
grapes to one vine, the vine should be
pruned so as to leave 25 to 80 good
strong buds, joints or eyes. as they
are variously called, on the growth Of
the preceding season. All the rest Of
the preceding seasons growth should
be pruned away.

Good Farming Helps in
Eradicating Many Pests

That good farming helps greatly In
fighting insects and diseases Is
shown by comparison Of farms
where the best methods are used and
those where they are not, says the
New York state college of agriculture
at Ithaca.
Some Of the things that are a part
of good farming the college lists as
rotation of crops. fall plowing. clean
ing up trash on fields and destroy
ing remnants Of crops, grubbing out
hedgerows, using good seed In we'll
prepared soils, and Intelligent use OF
proper fertilizers. Good farmers find
that land. as well as persons. kept
healthy are in better shape to resist
disease and insects.

Farmers Taking Better
Care of All Machinery

High wages have caused many
farmers to change their methods, and
they now take better care of their
farm machinery says Henry Keller.
Jr., professor of rural economics In
the New Jersey State College Of Agri-
culture.
Heretofore 1t was the practice Of
most farmers to leave their machinery
out all winter, rusting and unrepaired.
Then. when the rush of spring work
came. everything was delayed and in
confusion.
"Now progressive farmers find that
the idle period of fall and winter is a
good time to inspect and repair all
the tools and machinery used on the
farm. Such simple thing as greas-
ing the plowshare and jointer after
the last time the pillow Is used in the
summer or fall has been found to
avoid in the spring several hours Of
the slow, tedious plowing that would
be necessary II the pIow were rusty.
their time Of plowing a whole day.
thus saving them So at least.
"By spending little time each day
tinkering in the woodshed these farm
ers not only work up good appetite
but are able to make careful repairs
that will stand up when the test comes.
When necessary to send away for
spare parts, walt Of week or two
does not cause the concern that 1t
would in spring.
"To these provident farmers it'must
be fine feeling to walk out to the
shed when winter ends and know that
plows. harrows, harness. axes-all-
are ready for business"

weeks and starts about 7 o'clock in
the evening and continues until very
late. 1t sounds like a spark coil and
the vibrator is going very slowly.
Even slower than the tick of a
watch. 1t is irregular and does not
seem to be trying to send anything
although the sound is broken at in
tervals Of about five or ten seconds.
Sometimes the noise keeps up for so
or 40 minutes at one time without
any break except the breaks caused
by the faulty coil.
l have come to the conclusion
that this interference is not some one
trying to disturb, but some kind Of
mechanical device that has moth
ing to do with radio as far as pur-
pose is concerned but a lot as far as
the receiving sets around town are
] concerned. l would blame 1t on an arc
| light If it were not for the fact that
| it is heard by listeners separated
three or four miles apart. 1t is with
| out doubt the least affected by tun-
! ing of any noise l have ever had TO
| contend with. Turning a grid variom-
eter all the way of 1870 degree dial
has no more effect than bending the
| phone cord.
We would greatly appreciate some
other sufferers comments that might
lead to locating this apparently me-
chanical pest. No doubt it can be
| eliminated from our receiving sets If
only located.
Don't confuse this noise with a
| loose connection in your set. They
are very much the same. The way to
tell whether you are hearing some
n h tr,e
ing in through the antenna is to
throw off the aerial and ground
switch. If the noise ceases it is not
in the set If 1t continues, it Is in
your set and probably in the phone
| cord, detector socket, or somewhere
in the plate juice connections.
