Chinch Bug Campaign Is
Necessary to Save Crops

Chinch bugs. like other insects, as
every farmer knows. do not do the
same amount OF damage every year.
Rather they appear periodically In
large numbers The reason for this Is
not difficult to understand. After the
chinch bugs have Increased In num-
bers for a period of years. parasites
that live on them also become more
numerous. Thus by the time the latter
have become very numerous the para
sites also become so numerous that
they almost completely kill OF the
chinch bugs and then we see little
more of them for several years. or un-
Ill they have had time to recuperate
When the chinch bugs have been de.
stroyed, the parasites have nothing on
which to live and they die of, which.
in turn, again gives bugs full sway for
period Of years. unless man steps In
and destroys them. According to all
indications, unless farmers put ON a
chinch bug campaign this winter the
crops-small grains as well as corn
will be seriously injured next year. The
individual farmer can do very little
toward chinch bug determination. Eff
fective work can be done only through
the cooperation of the farmers in
whole communities.

Ice Supply Is Necessary
for High Quality Milk

In the production and marketing Of
high-quallty milk and cream a supply
OF ice on the farm is almost a neces-
slty says the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture. Proper cooling
and cold storage is said to be the great
est single factor influencing the bac-
terial content of milk from the time II
leaves the COW until II reaches the
consumer.
The department says that farmers
should. If possible, put up at least IL
tons of ice in the North and two tons
in the South, for every COW In the milk
ing herd. This will provide for cooling
the milk. allow for melting, and pro-
vide little surplus for household use.
In winter, when work Is not pressing
on the farm. little time spent In an
ticipation of the Ice harvest will pay
good returns During this season old
ice houses may be repaired and all the
necessary equipment for harvesting Ice
provided.

Government, as Usual

1t was Plutarch who wanted 10

makes it clear and calm" and Milton
coming down the greasy planks of
time a few centuries later found that
nature hung in heaven. and filled
their lamps with everlasting OIL to
give due light 10 the misled and lone
~ traveller Oil was once used in
place OF soap. and it cleaned, instead
OF smeared those who used it, 1t was
likewise symbol OF joy, and only
modern intriguers have found it nee
essary to lie about it, But some hor-
rible creature seeking swift and awful
punishment OF an enemy suggested
boiling them in oil. No one ever an

teapot after filling il with oil Wash
ington has never experienced such
scandal. The Capitol has almost
floated in oil, but the sea of politics
is unlike the ocean because oil does
not clear and calm" its troubled SUR
face.
Out OF the hectic flush of this whole
miserable affair, the facts show that
a comparatively few men have been
dishonesty involved. Only a few
Others have been indiscreet, or stupid.
Only a few others have been captured
by the rewards of profitable employ
ment by men like Doheny, who seems
TO have taken advantage of mems
lowly financial estates. He has given
them better jobs that have brought
them into endless trouble. Honesty
ought not to be a political question
at all, and stripped OF its immense
political significance the investigators

FROM WASHINGTON
BY j. E. Jones


OF the oil scandal have been dong an
excellent piece OF work. They have
demonstrated that while individuals
may be weak, and that while some are
faithless, that most OF our trusted pub
lie servants are honest and true to
their trust The dome has blown off
the political teapot and its smelly
steam has offended the nostrils of all
right thinking people. But through
it all we have Government, as usual

Drying up American Shipping
A resolution has been introduced in
Congress to investigate the Shipping
Board" Facts concerning American
shipping have been laid bare for three
or four years. The Shipping Board
has been profuse with every detail of
information affecting its operations.
In the face of existing investigations
the proposal that the Shipping Board
be put on the carpet will create about
as much enthusiasm as an alley cat
conversing with the midnight moon.
Everyone who has studied the subject
at all knows that the Government was
overloaded with wartime ships which
could not be adapted to peace-time
shipping. The boats that could be
economically operated were sent TO
sea. and attempts TO sell the wooden
ships and the unwicldy warcraft were
unsuccessful. The boats have become
"wastages of war" and most OF them
are rotting away because there were
no bidders for them. With the better
ships the government has set out to
build up a passenger and freight bust
ness. But every form of operation has
proved Improbable because we are
pioneers in the game, and foreign ma
up against us. On account of our
seamen's laws our wage rates are far
greater than foreign wage rates. Eng
land and other Europeans have us
tied up with treaties that prevent
American ships from monopolizing
American ports and American bust
ness. In consequence OF these handi-
caps our ships are operated at a ire
mendous loss. Congress grudgingly

prepared By the United States Department
OF Asricuiturc.)
That the United States Department
OF Agriculture and the various states
are not alone in carrying on a cam.
paign for better live stock Is shown by
results collected by the bureau OF ami
NAL industry. The ministry OF agricul-
ture for England and Wales las been
working for nine years on Live
Stock scheme" which Is a combination
OF the Better Slres-Better Stock
campaign, cooperative bull associa-
lions, cow-testing associations and reg
lister Of merit of the United States.
British farmers are heinz shown the
advantages OF using pure bred slres
and the ministry OF agriculture also is
giving them financial assistance 10
enable them 10 use the improved meth
DDS Of stock raising.
The scheme" Is now operating in
practically every county OF England
and Wales. The latest report shows
S3l societies and one individual using
IA bulls; and % societies and 45i in
dividuals using $50 hoars. This Is an
Increase OF lO5 societies and 100 bulls
over the previous years enrolment.
One large dealer in Yorkshire says
that he believes that cattle values in
his district have increased fully $500
per head as a result Of the work done
by the British government. The same
plan is being applied to the improve
ment OF sheep and light horses.
Reports from countries In Europe,
South America. Asia and Afrlca. where
various methods for improving live
stock are being used. also show a gen.
eral activity in this field. The work
is prompted. 1t Is believed. by a grow
ing recognition of the economic value
Of well-bred live stock.

Ways to Increase
Fruit Production
Pruning Demands First At
tention and Must Be Done
Before Buds Open.

This is the time of the year for
orchardists TO be doing necessary
things IN the orchard to increase fruit
production FOR next year or these.
pruning the trees Is one thing demand
Ing first attention. II. H. Payne. ex-
tension horticulturist for the North
Carolina State college and department
Of agriculture gives some simple sug-
gestiOns FOR pruning the apple trees.
He states first that this pruning must
be done after the leaves fan and be-
fore the buds open in the spring. Dur
ing this dormant season the tree Is
bare and Il is easier for the operator
to see just what he Is doing.
Mr.. Payne's suggestions about how
TO prune are as follows:
''The primary object OF pruning is
for fruit production, therefore the
proper amount of wood must be pro-
duced. After the tree has reached
bearing age. no attempt should be
made TO shape It as the period Of
training the tree Is the first four years
after It is planted. Heavy pruning
should never be practiced during the
period of fruit production. The prac-
tice will throw the tree out of the
production of fruit into the production
Of wood. which is very undesirable.
in pruning apples. all dead and dis
eased limbs should be removed, cross
ing branches should be removed or
headed In, closely parallel branches
should be taken out. rangy branches
should be cut back, and the new
growth that is not needed should be
removed.
''The ends OF the branches should
not be stubbed back as this causes an
excess Of laterals on the branch In the
vicinity Of the wound. and less sun
light Will be admitted. Where a whole
branch Is to be removed II should be
If the branch is growing too long and
II must be headed back. the end should
be taken out back to a lateral.
Moderate dormant pruning Is rec
commended as II gives the proper bal
ance between the carbohydrates, nj
trates and moisture which are essen
tlal TO maximum fruit production. All
fruitlng wood should be conserved as
fruit production is the main object
now. Pruning wounds should not be
painted or treated in any way as they
heal more quickly II left untreated.
Stubs should never be left as this will
often result In loss Of the tree by de-
cay"
