Keep Up Property Value

The average rate per year which
must be charged off for depreciation
Of house property has been found to
be TX per cent for frame and IL
per cent for brick. 1t was brought out
by many of the authorities consulted,
however, that this difference is almost
entirely eliminated If proper care is
taken Of the home. A stitch in time
saves many, and minor repairs here
and there will often prevent extensive
deterioration of the structure which
would occur if such repairs were neg
lected. The painting Of parts exposed
to the weather and the prompt renew
al of decaying sections are important
factors in the longevity Of the house.
In other words, keep its face clean and
it's heart in good condition.

These courses, however, are apparent

Ways to Control
Chinch Bug Pest
One of Most Destructive In
sects Attacking Grass
and Grain.

prepared by the United States Department
FFa of Agriculture.)
The abundance of chinch bugs, one
Of the most destructive native pests
attacking American grain and grass
crops, is determined by climatic con-
ditions, systems Of farming and the
presence of natural enemies, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The weather is the chief factor
in the increase OF the bugs to point
where they become seriously destruc-
tive to crops, according to Farmers
Bulletin 1857, 1.-THE Chinch Bug and
How to Fight It." just issued.
Doesn't Feed on Legumes.
The chinch bug fortunately does not
feed on any of the legumes. Other
crops immune from its attack are sun
flowers, rape, stock beets, buckwheat,
pumpkins, squashes and all of the So
called truck or garden crops except
sweet corn.
The most practical methods of con-
troll consist Of ~ burning the bugs
in their winter quarters, (2) avoiding
their attacks by growing crops on
which they do not feed, and (3) kill
ing them by the use Of barriers,
sprays and dusts at the time of the
small-grain harvest. Numerous other
methods of control have been tried at
various times, and, although some
bugs can be killed by most Of them,
the three just mentioned are the only
means that have proved really prac-
ticable and effective. Two of the most
are the so-called white fungous dis
ease and tiny wasplike egg parasite.
Because of uncertainty as to the dura-
ton Of the chinch-bug outbreak, how
ever, 1t is never safe to depend upon
natural agencies to prevent losses.
Reduce Grain Acreage.
Where chinch bugs become persist
emily abundant 1t is recommended
that the acreage of small grains, espe-
cially wheat, be reduced as much as
practicable and the land sown to re-
sistant or immune crops, particularly
legumes. Legumes, such as red and
sweet clovers, alfalfa, vetch, soy beans
and cowpeas, need not be grown by
themselves, but may well be planted
in small grains and corn where prac-
ticable.
A copy of the bulletin, containing
detailed information concerning the
chinch bug and it's control, may be
obtained free, while the supply lasts,
from the United States Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. G.

Animals Affected With
Tuberculosis Are Risky

The degree to which animals af-
fected with tuberculosis are dangerous
to the health of the other live stock
and of persons is a topic widely dis
cussed, especially in areas where
eradication work is being planned or
conducted.
In answer to recent inquiry the
bureau of animal industry, United
States Department of Agriculture, has
expressed the following opinion: Tu-
berculosis is regarded as dangerous in
any animal, in any location and to any
extent. The discharge of tubercle ba-
cilli from the mouth, nose or the ex-
cretory organs infects the barnyard
dust, which may settle in the milk A
and the transmission Of the disease
through milk by this means Is regard-V
ed as one of the most common causes
Of its spread. The danger is mate
rally greater when tuberculous infec-
ton occurs in the udder or as open
gland LESSONS, extensive internal or
pulmonary LESSONS or any other form
that may contaminate the milk, feed
or litter.
Briefly, all forms Of the disease are
potentially dangerous, the risk being
a question Of degree depending on the
nature and location of the LESSONS.
