Use Banding Material
to Repel Gypsy Moth

Gypsy moth tree-banding material is
greasy and semi-viscid substance
with tarlike odor, which Is being
used by the bureau Of entomology In
its control work against the gypsy
moth In New England. This material
has been developed since 1915 to re-
place German product no longer
available, which was formerly used for
the same purpose.
Questions have arisen as to whether
the odor or the viscidity of the mate
rial was the chief element which halted
the caterpillars as they tried to get
into the trees. The exhalation or odor,
II was found on investigation, exercises
a restraining influence. but the viscous
or physical condition Is more impor-
tant as barrier factor in the band.
Studies made In connection with the
solution Of these questions, which have
a practical bearing on the development
Of an efficient barrier, are described In
a professional paper, United States De
partment Of Agriculture Bulletin 1142,
"The Barrier Factors in Gypsy Moth
Tree-Banding Material" by M. T.
Smulyan, specialist, bureau Of ento-
mology. 1t may be obtained upon ap-
plication to the United States Depart

Twelve Good Reasons
for Building a Silc

1. More feed can be stored In q
given space in form Of silage than in
form of fodder or hay.
2. A small loss of food material
when a crop is made into silage.
8. Corn silage Is better feed than
corn fodder.
4. An acre Of corn or kafir can be
placed into a silo at less cost than the
same area when husked and shredded.
8. Crops can be put In the silo dur
ing weather which could not be util-
lied for curing fodder or hay.
8. More stock can be kept on a
given area of land when silage Is the
basis of ration.
7. Less wasted in feeding silags
than fodder.
8. Silage is very palatable.
8. Silage, like other succulent feeds.
has beneficial effect upon the. diges-
tive organs.
10. Silage Is the cheapest and best
form In which a succulent feed can be
provided in the winter.
II. Silage can be used for supple
mentary pasture more cheaply than
can soiling crops, because 1t requires
less labor and cattle like silage better.
IL. Converting corn or kaflr crops
into silage clears the land and leaves
it ready for another crop.

Rosette Disease of
Wheat Is Compared
Difficult to Tell Accurately
Harm Caused by Each.


prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
The rosette disease of wheat, dis
covered In Illinois and Indiana In 1919,
affects wheat seedlings In somewhat
the same way as do the attacks by the
Hessian fly and certain other insect
pests. When the trouble Is caused by
insects, their presence or evidence of
their work serves definitely to show
the cause of the trouble. Wheat seed
lings attacked by rosette disease alone
show no evidence of the presence or
work of insects, 1t Is pointed out by
specialists Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture who have been
investigating these wheat maladles.
The first positive indications of the
rosette disease become evident early
in the spring after the growth Of the
healthy plants Is well started. Plants
affected by rosette remain dormant in
the spring after the healthy plants
commence their spring growth. Infest-
ed fields are spotted with irregular
patches Of dwarfed plants, the leaves
Of which are dark blue-green in color
and are rather broad and stiff. The
whole plant has bunchy, rosette ap-
pearance.
When both rosette disease and insect
Injuries, especially those by Hessian
fly, occur together In the spring, II
sometimes is difficult to determine ac-
curately the injuries caused by each.
AS the rosette disease Is not apparent
in the autumn and as 1t becomes evil
dent in the spring before the emer.
gence of the adult Hessian fly, there
Is very little chance to confuse the two
maladies during these periods. In the
late spring, however, there is possi-
bility of confusion, especially II plants
affected by rosette show, In addition,
the spring infestation Of the Hessian
fly. These matters are discussed In
Bulletin 1877, Symptoms Of Wheat
Rosette Compared With Those Pro-
duced by Certain Insects, just issued,
and may be secured upon request from

culture, Washington, ID. @.

Check Weed Injury by
Cleaning Grain Seed

A little effort exerted In cleaning
seed grain Is much more effective than
attempting to check weed dsmage to
the crops through control measures
after the weeds have had chance to
grow, suggests Matthew Fowlds, in
structor in agronomy at the South Da-
kota State college. The tanning mill
Is the best means Of separating the
weed seeds from the seed grain.
New weeds are often introduced by
being mixed In with other seed which
has been shipped In.

ticsd In addition to seed cleaning In Q

yearling trees will grow more surely

fault with large trees is slow starting.

to the Circuit Court of Appeals of the
United States. If that court confirms
the decision 1t becomes final. Most of
them never appeal.
Try Numerous Schemes.
The kinds OF fraud practiced are as
numerous as the individuals engaged,
and these are scattered from the new
est oil field at Smackover, Ark, back
through all the fields Of Louisiana,
Texas, Oklahoma and wherever else
the oil craze has gone. Most of them
are promoters from New York, Chica-
go and other large cities. They have
some competition from the natives of
the small towns In which they operate.
Now and then one of these novices de-
velops a more alluring line than the
veteran takers. Then there Is war. A
stockholders protective league or some
thing of the kind is organized, not for
the protection Of the stockholders at
all, but to cut the throat of the rival
promoter.
Every human emotion Is played upon
by the promoters, all the way from SUI
perstitlon to reverence. One of the
recently investigated concerns was put
ting out its advertising over the sigma
ture of a man who bears one of the
most honored names in America. He
was represented as being In complete
charge of its affairs. When the inspec-
tor of the commission interviewed him

dotage and poverty. "These are mighty
good men, he told the Inspector.
"They know that an old mans misfor-
tunes are not always of his own maxi
Ing, and so they pay me $50 month
Just for coming down every day and
signing my name to few papers"
Numerous as the fraudulent schemes
are, the commission believes that most
of them depend for their success on the
operation Of the Texas common law
trust. In many advertisements the Of
ficer appears as John Smith, Trustee"
rarely "William Brown, President" Un-
der this system the trustee is monarch
of his company. He makes the bylaws.
And stockholders do not vote.
Three persons-in the case of the
fraudulent concerns, usually man and
his wife and one other person-go to
the Office of the county clerk and file
declaration Of trust" That cOnsti-
tutes the underlying document for
all subsequent transactions. The share
holder may think he has all the stipula-
tions printed on his certificate, but
when the test comes he finds that he
must go to "the underlying document" !"
and this probably Is in Corsicana
county, Texas, while the shareholder Is
In Maine or Oregon.
Trustee Is Whole Works.
After the declaration of trust Is filed
almost anything appears to be possible.
"The trustee" said member of the
commission, "may issue S1,0O0,000 Of
stock, put 81 in the treasury and the
rest In his pocket. He may sell to his
new company the assets, including the
sucker list of any defunct company
he may have been connected with. He
may transfer funds from one company
to another. He may pay for practically
all of the stock with an acre Of land
100 miles from an oil field. 1t is his
stock and, when he sells 1t, the money
is his. He never expects to strike oil
but II, by some luck chance, he does
strike 1t, he usually can keep the oil.
"In this fraudulent kind Of company
the trustee makes sure that he is taken
