OF BIG IMPORTANCE
TO DESTROY DROPS

Experiments conducted at the fed.

Importance of the prompt destruction
Of all small infested peaches when
they fall, says q. II. Rawl. associate
extension horticultural at Clemson
college.
Almost ali Of the small peaches that
are punctured by the curculio fall to
the ground within few weeks after
the calyces or "shucks' have been
pushed of and these drops are badly

1t is the picking up and destruction
Of the drops" that prevents q heavy

small infested peaches should be picked
up and buried at least "A inches deep
Dig trench in which they may be
dumped and then cover them with "a
inches Of soil and pack firmly. 1t is
usually necessary to make two or three
gatherings. Special care should be
taken to see that all the very small

they are almost always infested, the
larger ones being less likely to contain
worms. M
In one Of these experiments IN

Bees Quite Valuable to
Many Growers of Fruit

Commercial beekeepers of today
move their bees many times each year
to keep them busy making honey after
the honey flow slows down in one To-
cation. To move colony Of bees
care must be taken to give them plenty
Of air, as the Earring and excitement
cause them to create great amount
Of heat This excess heat will melt
the combs and honey. BY removing
the lid of the beehive and mailing a
screen on top of the hive in place of
the lid the bee man will give this
heat chance to escape. The bees
should be moved on cool night if pos
sible.
In some fruit districts the fruit
growers pay the beekeepers 80 cents
a colony and move them besides to
their orchards, to pollinate the fruit
bloom. There are many fruit and ber-
~ yields that would be raised at a
loss If 1t were not for the bees pol
linating the flowers.

Many Enemies of Field
Mice Found on ANY Farm

In making plans for the permanent
control Of field mice, a protective SEN
timent should be fostered toward
such of their natural enemies as are
not injurious to the interests OF man,
for mice form an important item of
the diet Of many of our predatory
birds, mammals. and larger snakes
Whenever there is an abnormal In
crease In the number Of mice, their
enemies usually tend to increase cor
respondingly and thus exercise nat.
ural control over them. ~
The birds which most commonly
feed upon field mice are owls, hawks,
shrikes. cranes, herons. ibises, gulls,
crows, magpies and road-runners.
Among their mammal enemies, which
are for the most part economically
beneficial to the interests of man, may
be mentioned foxes, badgers, rae.
coons, opossums, skunks, mink, mar.

Tent Caterpillar Quite
Difficult to Eradicate

Tent caterpillars breed on wild
cherry and these trees are seldom cut
and burned as they should be. The
best fruit campaign any township
could start would be an organized
hunt for every wild cherry bush or
tree. If these can be destroyed the
caterpillar will be put out Of bust
ness. Searching or burning is the
time-honored process. Before the
modern gasoline torch was invented
we took a long pole, wound rags at
one end. poured on kerosene, set 1t
ablaze and held it up against the nest.
That is effective, but dangerous to
use near buildings. We do not be-
lieve the scorching is as damaging as
the insects are, remarks the Rural
New Yorker. The best way to kill
these insects, aside from scorching or
hand picking, is to spray the trees
with solution Of arsenic in water at
about the strength used in fighting
the codling worm. We use 8 pounds
of the arsenic paste to 80 gallons Of
water. In most seasons the usual
spraying for the. worm will kill most
of the caterpillars. The seasons
blooming has been delayed, while the
insects are about on time, SO that
they may do considerable damage be-
fore the time for the ordinary spray.
1t is very easy to overlook the In
sects. as they are inconspicuous at
first.

Care for Injured Tree

Trees slightly damaged by field mice
will usually soon recover If the in
jured parts are completely covered
by mounding up soil around the bases
or If paint is used to prevent the
wounds from drying out. When the
injury is severe, bridge grating
should be resorted to. Following the
severe mouse epidemic of 1920 IL
Massachusetts, specialists Of the
State Agriculture college successfully
directed the work Of bridge grating
1900 trees. valued at 10000.

Soy Beans Superior
for Fattening Pigs
Crop Makes Good Hogging
Combination With Corn.

High-yielding soy beans of such seed
varieties as Manchu have an assured
place In fall finishing Of fattenIng pigs,
In the light Of recent tests at Iowa
State college, The leafy varieties,
such as are used for hay or silage, are
not as well adapted to hog forage as
such crops as alfalfa, clover or rape,
these tests indicate. Common farm
practice, particularly In hogging down
corn, would support this view.
Soy beans make q strong combination
with corn for hogging down If min
eral mixture, such as wood ashes Cor
limestone), acid phosphate Cor bone
meal) and salt, Is used. In the Iowa
tests the pigs, Weighing about 40
pounds at the start, averaged In gain
Las pounds daily till they went to
market, when fed corn, tankage and
minerals (all self-fed) on pasture Of
Manchu soy beans; and they ate only
845 pounds for each 100 pounds gain
In weight The mineral mixture was
made from 10 pounds spent bone black,
40 pounds limestone and 20 pounds
salt.
Soy beans for forage did not prove
as efficient as rape for pigs In these
Iowa tests. Soy bean hay varieties
made poor economical showing. Soy
beans do not have as long growing
season, are not as palatable and are
more easily killed by frost as COM
pared with clover, alfalfa or Dwarf Es-
sex rape. These last-named forages
fit in best for spring and midsummer
hog pasture, while good seed va
riety Of soy beans fills the need for
fall finishing, balancing up the corn
economically when minerals are fed in
addition.

Cultivation Is
Very Important
Feeding Roots Of Plants
Must Be Given Chance to
Penetrate Soil.

All the fertilizer In the world with
out proper cultivation won't make a
good garden. If gardener expects
to have garden without cultiyating
early and often, he will be disapIolnt-
ed. He might as well give up at the
start. Cultivation not only acts as a
fertilizer, but saves fertilizer. 1t also
saves water bills In dry weather.
The first object of cultivation Is to
secure tilth--that Is fine powdery
condition of the soil SO that when
turned over 1t will fall apart easily
and not separate into big, soggy Jumps
that need to be hammered to be
broken. It is apparent that the small
feeding roots of plants can penetrate
and secure their food much more read
lily In well-tilled, friable soil than in
heavy, lumpy, soggy one.
Cultivate Every Week.
The garden should be gone over and
cultivated once week. BY this Is
meant not only the destruction OF
weeds but the stirring Of the soil about
the plants. Cultivation should be done
after rain, as soon as the soil has
dried out enough so as not to be
muddy and stick to the tools. This
would result only in lumpy condi-
ton. Cultivation just before water
ing In dry times will also tend to make
the soil lumpy. Cultivate after water
ing to keep the moisture in the ground.
There Is right time to cultivate and
1t will pay gardener to study the
soil until he recognizes the condition
which will permit fine cultivation as
soon after a rain or after watering
as possible.
Cultivation helps to retain moisture
In the soil by establishing thin cover
ing Of thinly divided soil often called
a dust mulch This does not evaporate
moisture as rapidly as closely packed
surface nor does It act as sponge
to draw up moisture from below as
rapidly as does firm and unstirred
soil. Drawn to the surface by capil-
larry attraction the sun and winds soon
take moisture away.
Cultivate more frequently in dry
than wet weather. An inch or two in
depth is sufficient. 1t will let air into
the soil to keepNit sweet and keep the
moisture from escaping.
Morning Best Time.
The best time for cultivating Is ear
ly in the morning to conserve such
moisture as has descended during the
night and prepare for the sun and
winds during the day.
The common hoe. and the rake are
excellent tools for this purpose in
small gardens, but to make good job
of it in gardens of any size, wheel
hoe should be brought into action.
You can go over the garden in hurry
and 1t can be cultivated twice or more
times In the time it would take to go
over 1t once with hoe besides saving
the WEAKNESS and backache that fol-
low swinging hoe for any length Of
time.

Silo Is Cheap and Best
Means of Providing Feed

The silo is the best and cheapest
means of providing succulent feed not
only for winter, but as a supplement
to short pastures during the long, dry
summer months, according to the Mis-
souri, College Of Agriculture, which
states in a recent bulletin:
1t is the cheapest farm building
that can be erected.
It will house feed at lower cost per
pound than hay or roughage can be
protected from the weather by barn
or hay NOV.
1t Increases the producing capacity
of the farm at least 10 per cent and
will often increase its stock-carrying
capacity 25 per cent.
It Is the cheapest and most effective
method of soiling.
It is the cheapest place to store
the corn crop, and, in fact, one Of the
silo's greatest advantages is the pos
sibillty It affords If utilizing oil Of
the corn crop. An acre of corn can
be placed in the silo at a cost not
exceeding that Of shocking, husking,
grinding and shredding and will pre-
serve more nutrients and will produce
more milk per acre than any other
system of handling the crop.
1t saves third of the value of the
corn crop that is otherwise largely
wasted.
It supplies feed at less labor and
there Is less waste Of fodder by cows.
