Latest Developments in
Cucumber Pest Control

The latest development in the con-
troll of the cucumber beetle consists
of buster equipped with length
of tubing and metal cone foot or
more in diameter. The cone, or hood,
is placed on the ground over the plant
and the dust applied. The beetles
have no chance for getaway.
Another refinement is for four
tubes inside the cone which carry the
dust close to the ground so as to
reach the under side of the plant.
Holes at the top of the cone provide
an upward draft and assist In giving
excellent application. The material
used is nicotine dust containing high
percentage Of nicotine.
OF course, the old way is still effec-
tive, namely. repelling the beetles by
busting with 1 Id. of calcium arsenate
and Is lbs. of gypsum. or with / Id.
of calcium arsenate, 5 lbs. of wheat
flour, and 10 lbs. of lime The new
method, however, gives that added
natisfaction that comes from killing
the pest outright

A well-kept lawn is worth the time
1t takes.
Guard rails in the pig pen keep the
sow from MASKING her young.
Most cream separators will do much
better job of Swimming the milk when
they are warm.
The pocket gopher pays no atten-
ton to property lines. Get your
neighbors to eradicate them, too.
A great many vegetables respond
to lime; in fact, many will not grow
well in soil that is at all acid. This
is particularly true of asparagus.
spinach, celery. beets, onions, and
lettuce.
Keeping the shoulders and collar
clean and providing well-fitted collars
will help prevent sore shoulders on
work horses. A loose collar constant
ly rubbing back and forth over the
shoulders soon brings on sore.
Throughout the period Of brooding
1t is essential that the chicks be
supplied with green feed, that the
brooder house be well ventilated, and
that sharp lookout be kept to guard
lice and mites.
Studies Of farm income indicate that
from one-third to one-half of the farm
er's net returns are In the form Of
products produced on the farm and
used by the farmer and his family.
These products are never taken to
market. They consist of meat. live
stock products, garden truck. fruit,
cereals, and vegetables and fuel.

Most Successful Method
for Controlling Weeds

Now is the time to destroy the
weeds. Do not wait until they have
taken the field, but get out the har-
row and kill them before they get
the root started. Every weed that Is
permitted to get start takes some
of the essential food elements that
might be used in producing healthy,
strong stalks of wheat or corn.
1t is pretty well established that
the man who delays his fight against
weeds until about all of them get
inch or more in height is decreasing
the yield of his crop.
The more successful method of con-
trolling the weed crop is to not de-
lay until all the weed seed are germi-
mated but get busy and fight them as
soon as they break through the
ground A man who follows the prac-
tice of never ceasing his warfare
against the weeds never has to buy
corn for his hogs and horses.

Many Dollars May Be Saved
to the Growers.

''By proper attention to disease con-
troll through spraying, many thousands
of dollars may be saved by the potato
growers" says the plant pathologist
at the New Jersey College Of Agricul-
ture.
"The use Of high-grade fertilizer,
planting vigorous seed, and thorough
cultivation are not the only steps nee
essary TO insure the production of
profitable potato crop. No matter how
much plant food is available in the
soil, 1t cannot be utilized by plant
that has most of its leaves destroyed
by fungus pests. The leaf is the fac
tory In which the starch is manufac-
tured and If not protected from dis
eases 1t cannot be expected to give
maximum returns.
Results obtained at the expert
ment station the past five years show
conclusively that where the potato
crop is properly sprayed, increased
tests conducted with the Irish Cobbler
variety since 1919 show an average in
crease of 42.6 bushels per acre from
spraying with homemade bordeaux
mixture. In tests conducted this year
on the farm of J. III. HANDLE at Elmer,
Irish Cobbler potatoes sprayed seven
times with homemade bordeaux mix
ture gave 30 bushels more per acre
than did unsprayed potatoes. On the
i. B. Van Derveer farm at Freehold,
