Goosebe1ry Worthy More
Attention Than Given

The gooseberry is worthy of more
attention than is usually given it. If
q person plants gooseberry bushes
with the expectation of growing good
crops without further care it is best
not to plant at all, since they will be
only barren breeding places for the
rurrant worm and will not bear fruit.
II well cared for they will bear heavy
crops of berries that will usually find
a ready market at good prices.
The currant worm appears pretty
soon after the leaves put out in the
spring, and If they are not looked af-
ter the worm will soon strip the
bushes of their foliage and destroy the
crop Of berries entirely. When the
worms first appear the bushes should
be sprayed with bordeaux mixture in
which little paris green, arsenate Of
lead or some other insect poison is
mixed. The worms are not hard to
poison and one or two sprayings will
settle the worm question without in
Jury to the fruit. The spray will also
prevent mildew on gooseberry bushes.

Parsnips Planted Early
Will Give Best Results

1t is best to plant parsnip seeds
early to give them plenty of time to
fully mature. If the seeds are planted
late there is smaller percentage of
termination, the plants are weaker and
do not develop as readily as the plants
from seed sown quite early.
Prepare the soil as early as the
weather will permit, and SOW the seeds
In rows wide enough to permit culti-
walton, for the weeds must be kept out
II the parsnips are expected to grow
Use plenty Of seed, as they seldom
all grow, and should they be too thick
they can be thinned to the proper dis
lance apart in the rows.

Spraying for Fruit Rot
Indicates Good Results

Spraying strawberries for the con-
troll of leaf-spot diseases has frequent.
ly been recommended, and few grow
ers in widely separated localities have
sprayed regularly for fruit rot and
have reported an apparent reduction
in losses. The first systematic expert
ments, however, for the control Of
fruit rots by spraying were made by
the United States Department of Ag-
'riculture last year, and although the
results Of this one seasons work must
be regarded as inconclusive, some fa.
vorable results seem to be indicated.
Various sprays were used, and no
one seemed to show a marked sIpe.
riority over another, indicating that no
really satisfactory spray schedule has
yet been worked out. The investfga-
tors feel. however, that the results
justify the conclusion that spraying
with bordeaux mixture, and in some
cases busting, reduced the losses from
rot which developed after the fruit
was picked sufficiently to more than
justify the expense of the treatment.
Strawberries are grown in this coun.
try under a great variety of condi-
lions, and spray schedules must neces-
sarily be varied accordingly. The re-
suit of the first seasons work seems,
however, to indicate that in the region
of Beebe, Ark, where this work was
done, strawberry rots may be reduced
by spraying. 1t is accordingly planned
to extend these spraying tests.

White Pine Blister
Is Quite Injurious
Currant and Gooseberry
Bushes Hosts of Disease.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
White pine was once our most inn
portant timber crop, holding top place
in lumber production from 1920 20
1895. 1t is now down to fifth place,
and unless owners Of this timber take
precautions the rayages of the white
pine blister rust will drag it down to
position of still less importance. This
disease is now attacking white pines
in all the important regions where it
grows in this country-in New Eng
land, the Lake states and in the Pa
cific Northwest There are eight ma
tive white pines in the United States,
inclu hing the eastern white pine, west
ern white pine, sugar pine, timber
pine, whitebark pine, Mexican white
pine, fox-tail pine, and the bristle-
cone pine. The Himalayan white
pine and the stone or cembrian pine
have been introduced from Europe and
are to be found to some extent in
parks and cemeteries. All of these
pines, the native and introduced vari-
cites, are susceptible to the blister
rust.
Since currant and gooseberry
bushes are the intermediate hosts of
this disease Of the white pine, the way
to protect the pines is to destroy all
Of the bushes in the pine timber or
near 1t. This is the only practical
method. The spores of the rust cam
not be transferred directly from one
pine tree to another and produce the
disease. They must first find a live
gOoseberry or currant leaf to grow on,
and the spores formed there will in-
feet the pines. The United States De-
pertinent of Agriculture is carrying on
campaigns for the uprooting Of the
currant and gooseberry bushes in
white pine regions. Last year the cost
of this work averaged Is cents an
acre, but the department says that it
would pay even if the cost should
mount up to Sc an acre.

Number of Breeding Sows
on Farms Has Decreased

The number Of breeding sows on
farms on April Is estimated by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture to have been II, Isl 900, or S9.2 per
cent Of the number on farms at the
same time last year. The decline is
greatest in the corn belt Breeding
sows in Kansas were 50 per cent of the
number Of the preceding year on April
/; Missouri So per cent; Indiana 8S
per cent, and in each of the states of
Ohio, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska, SS
per cent. Increase in the, number Of
breeding sows on farms in North Da-
kota was 10 per cent, and smaller in
creases in five states of the Far West.
Along the Atlantic seaboard and in
the southern states, declines were less
than in the corn belt and less than the
average for the United States.

A FEELING OF SECURITY
WHEN YOU USE
SWAMP-ROOT

You naturally feel secure when you

It is not a stimulant and il taken in
teaspoonful doses.
It is not recommended for everything.
It is natures great helper in relieving
ind overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with

'Windbreaks Give
Farm Protection
Tend to Prevent Soil From
Drying Out and From
Injury by the Wind.

prepared BY the United States Department
Of Agrieulture.)
Windbreaks are, in more ways than
one, a farm asset and every farm
should have its windbreak. They tend
to prevent the soil from drying out
quickly and they protect grain and
orchards from mechanical injury by
the wind. A belt of trees by the farm
buildings protects them from extreme
winter cold and summer heat, and
makes the farm pleasanter place In
which to live. The windbreaks may
also be a source of wood supply for
use on the farm or for sale.
Effect of Windbreak.
The effect of a windbreak may not
always be beneficial to crop nearby,
depending upon the crop. Whether
the total effect of windbreak is good
or bad, however, depends upon whether
the benefits derived from its influence
ON wind movement, temperature and
evaporation are greater or less than
the injury resulting from the sapping
and shading Of the ground nearby. To
determine the total effect, crop meas
nrements have been made by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and
Minnesota. Average rather than excep-
tional conditions were measured, the
object being to discover the effect Of
those influences which are continuous
and affect every annual crop grown.
Measurements made in fields of
small grain indicate that the crop gain
In the protected zone is sufficient to
offset fully the effects of shading and
sapping. In wheat field protected by
dense windbreak the gain amounted
to about ten bushels per acre where
the protection was complete, and grad
ually grew less as the distance from
the windbreak increased. The total
gain was about equal to the amount Of
grain which could have been grown on
the shaded ground near the trees.
Corn Crop Is Helped.
The corn crops showed more con-
sistent and marked benefits from pro-
lection than any others. Height meas
nrements on one field showed the
plants to be Az feet high in the first
Is rows next to the windbreak, while
beyond this protected zone the height
was 21a feet. The field showed pro-
duction of SO bushels per acre in the
protected zone and only 81 bushels in
The exposed part.
With ordinary field crops the farm
er may count on benefit from Wind
oreak protection which will make the
loss Of the area occupied by the trees
Negligible. Under Middle Western con-
1itions windbreak whose width does
not exceed two or three times its
height will more than pay for itself
regardless of the timber which may be
produced.
