Mexican Bean Beetle Menace.
The presence of the Mexican bean
beetle in III counties in six Southern
states indicates that this pest is one
Of major Importance. Everything
points to the fact that the beetle is
more prolific and destructive in the
new environment than in the West
and Southwest, and it appears that
the application Of arsenicals to bean
plants in the Southeastern states is
more hazardous than in the West and
Southwest. The probability is that the
Mexican bean beetle will be able to
extend it's range over a very large
part of the United States. Careful
studies have been made of the pos
sibilities of natural control.
The process of controlling the boil
weevil by dry calcium-arsenate dust
has been further developed. Much
valuable information was obtained
through experimental work under the
direction of the Delta laboratory as
to the notifications of the poisoning
system necessary in different regions.
The most important recent addi-
ton to tobacco hornworm control has
been the perfecting of a unidentified
shaftless type of buster for the ap-
plication of insecticides to the tobac-
co plant. Since the work was begun
more than 200 acres have been busted
with the experimental model. in one

results than could have been OBJ

Cooperative Work Against Beetles.
Extensive control operations against
the Western pine beetle have been
undertaken in southern Oregon and
northern California in cooperation
with the Interior department and
private owners represented by the
Klamath Forest Protective associa-
ton. Continued and increasing depre-
dations by the Western pine beetle
on more than 100000 acres of ma
tional forest, Indian reservation and
privately owned lands in this district
led to a survey and congressional
appropriation of $4,000 for control
work, of which $50, SO has been
expended.

PAINT ALL BUILDINGS EARLY
Minnesota Specialist Advises to "Get
the Jump" on Pests Detrimental
to Good Job.

Do your painting early, is the advice
of FL. B. White of the engineering d.
vision, University farm, and thus "get
the jump" on dirt, flies and other in
sects that are detrimental to first
class job of painting later on.
1.-THE idea that paint is used only
for appearance" says Mr.. White, sis
common in many localities. Paint inn
proves the appearance Of buildings and
implements, but it is even more i'm
portant that it be used to prevent de-
terioration. Scarcity Of lumber and its
relatively high price make it clear that
the life Of the buildings should be given
more attention than when material and
labor were less expensive.
"a farmer can often do his own
painting. If rapid depreciation is to
be prevented, it is essential that a
building be given coat Of paint every
three years, or two coats about every
five years"

The annual loss to the apple crop

ages is conservatively placed at from
10 to 20 per cent of the crop value,
or at least $18,000,000, according to
the United States Department of Ag-

loss of the trees themselves from such
insects as apple tree borers and scale
insects, and the considerable amount
expended for spraying apparatus, in

pest before it becomes widely dis
tributed throughout the United
States.
Major outbreaks of the so-called
green bug, which is a most destruc-
tive wheat pest, are dependent ex-
cIusively on the presence of volun-
teer grain, it has been found, and the
remedy is obviously for farmers to
prevent volunteer grain from spring
ing up to furnish breeding places for
the green bug.
Although only one-half of the ap-
preparation of $4,000 was used for
grasshopper control work, saving of
crops in North Dakota and Wyoming
amounting to over 100000 was effect
ed. A heavy outbreak occurred in the
summer of 1922 in Montana and Wyo-
ming, and field laboratory was es-
tablished at Billings, Mont, in April,
1922, to aid farmers and extension
workers in combating the pest.
Progress With Other Insect Pests.
The results of recent Hessian fly
surveys show the insect to be causing
very little damage, owing to the work
Of state and federal chronological
workers during the previous year.
Investigations of insects attacking
meat, particularly the ham skipper
and larder beetles, have resulted in
much valuable information. An in
vestigation of insects attacking dried
fruit is under way. Special attention
has been given to the biology of
clothes moths as affecting the brush
and fabric industries.

REMOVAL or slLAGE DOORS
Flavors May Be Eradicated by Aera-
ton of Milk While 1t is WARM
Feed After Milking.

Silage odors are absorbed largely
through the body of the COW rather
than from the air, according to tests
made by the United States Department
of Agriculture. However, these doors
may be practically or entirely removed
by the aeration of the milk while it is
still warm. Rather heavy feeds Of
silage may be given to cows one hour
after milking without any undesirable
favors or odors passing into the milk.
When green alfalfa was fed in relative
~ large quantities one hour before
milking marked fiavors and odors were
noticed in the milk, but when as much
as 30 pounds per COW was fed after
milking there was no effect on the
milk from the next milking.

Work against the japanese beetle,

and more than 5000 beetles were re
moved from within the tips of the

Continued work in the suppression
Of the plum curculio, brown-rot and
scab of peaches in Georgia has re-

been found useful under certain con-

peach borer in the Santa Clara val
ley, California. The San Jose scale
is again becoming troublesome in GER
tain parts of the country, and has
been especially injurious in apple or
chards in the Ozarks. Special atten-
ton has been given to control of this
insect in bearing orchards at the Ben

Shortage of funds curtailed the

SUCCESS IN TURKEY RAISING
One of the Most Important Steps Is

Look for Vigor.

One of the most important steps to-
ward success in turkey raising is the
proper selection Of breeding stock.
Unhatchable eggs, weak poults, and
small, scrubby turkeys are largely the
result Of carelessness in the selection
Of the parent stock. In selecting tur-
keys for breeding purposes, strength
and vigor are the first points to be
considered. To indicate this the body
should be deep and wide, the back
broad, and the breast round and full.
