Busting for Insects Is
Popular and Effective

busting insects has become so popu-
lar, and dust guns so easy to use
and effective, that dust is taking the
place of liquid sprays. For ordinary
garden use a coarse cloth sack tied
to the end of stout stick is very
effective buster for leaf eaters, but
for some of the sucking insects that
require contact poison like nicotine
a blower is best, for it will force the
dust up under the leaves as well. You
can get almost any kind of insecticide
now in the powder form. The best
time to use is very early in the MORN
ing before the dew dries off, or it will
be needful to sprinkle or spray the
foliage with water to make the dust
stick. There are combination dusts
that will serve for both eating and
sucking pests, andmost gardeners will,
be wise to use them and use them
freely.

wild Boy" Beyond
Reach of Science

The recent discoveries of children
supposed to have lived their lives
among animals, and who consequently
developed animal habits. add interest
to the "Peter the Wild Boy" exhibit
at Berkhampstead School museum, al
though there is no reason to suppose
Peter was a wolf-child.
Peter was found in 1925 in the
woods near Hamelin, in Hanover,
where he had subsisted on the bark
of trees, leaves, and berries for an
unknown period. When found he was
apparently about twelve years old.
A year later he was brought to
England, but even under skilled tut
tion he vas incapable of receiving any
instruction, and never developed the
faculty of speech.
He died in 1855, at Ayter's End
farm at North Cross, where he lived
since his arrival in England, and on a
brass plate in the church is sketch
of his head drawn from all engraving
by Observation-Disclosures Tit-Bits.

Silage More Palatable
Than Fodder for Cows

An acre of corn has much higher
feeding value when fed to dairy cows
as silage than it has when cured and
fed as fodder. The superior value of
silage over fodder is attributed largely
to the smaller waste in the handling,
curing, storing and feeding of silage
and to its greater palatability. Prin.
cipally because silage is much more
palatable than cord fodder, more OF
it is consumed, thus making more nu-
trients available for milk production.
These facts are borne out by an eX.
pertinent made by the Iowa Agricultu-
raj experiment station in which corn
silage was compared to corn fodder
in well-balanced rations fed to dairy
cows. BY giving corn silage feed
ing value of $3.50 ton, or 5000 for
an acre yield of eight tons, the rela.
tive value of corn fodder was found to
be $17.17 for production of 3.4 tons
per acre. However. as there is about
per cent greater additional loss re.
sulting from curing fodder than there
is from curing silage, the acre valua.
ton Of the fodder is reduced to $16.21.
An acre Of corn fodder In these trials,
therefore, was given but As per cent
the value Of any acre of silage for
feeding to dairy cows.

Handling Soy Beans for
Both Hav and for Seed

Soy beans should be cut for hay
soon after the seed pods have been
formed and before the seeds have
been fully developed, about the time
the lower leaves begin to turn yellow
and drop.
For seed soys should be allowed to
become fully matured before harvest
ing. At this time the leaves will have
largely dropped off. II they stand up
well it is more satisfactory to cut and
bind and shock them and let them
stand in the shocks until dry enough
to thresh. They may be cut with
mower and shocked until ready to
thresh, but more of the seed will shat.
ter and be lost and they will be
harder to thresh.
In making hay Of soys they should
be allowed to become we'll wilted in
the swath before raking and shocking,
but should not be allowed to become
dry enough to shatter off the leaves.
The shocks will shed water better If
put up when the hay is little green.

Lukewarm Water Should
Be Used to Wash Auto

No automobile owner should forget
that unusual care should be taken in
washing a new car during the first
few months of use.
The best varnish requires consider
able time to harden. Even Though
the car has been out of the factory
several months, the paint is soft, and
until it hardens, the varnish is easily
scratched. Only CASTLE soap or nom
alkali soaps should be used for the
removal, of grease. The CASTLE soap
can be obtained in powdered form,
and is not of the finest and purest
grade. Gasoline is out of the question
because 1t tends to cut and scar the
varnish.
Lukewarm water should be used.
Hot water will dull the finish, and
cold water will not serve well with
the soap. Accumulation of mud and
dust should be carried off by means
of six-inch stream of water from
the hose instead of being washed
with sponge. This point should be
watched carefully. 1t is very easy to
scratch the varnish with q sponge,
because of the grit collecting UNDER
meath it.
After a good rinsing, the varnish
should be dried by means of channels
skin. The chamois skin for this use
can be obtained in large sizes. To
keep the skin clean, wiring it out very
often in clear water. A long. straight.
sweeping movement of the channels
produces better results than rotary
motion

ton to the specific warnings they give.
Diamond-shaped signs warn of ac-

sees one ahead he always slows the

Square signs mark dangers near the
road but not part of it, such as
schools. They put good drivers on the
alert the instant they are sighted.
Octagonal and round signs always
require a full stop. The eight-edged
signs are posted in most instances at
intersections of arterial routes to
avoid collisions. Round signs of the
same import but in a class by them
selves, are used to mark railroad
crossings, all of which are always
dangerous.

Control Disease
of Cucumbers
Eliminate Agencies by
Which Destructive Ali
ment Is Wintered.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The most effective means OF con-
trolling the mosaic disease of cucum-
bers, according to the United States
Department Of Agriculture, consists in
the elimination Of the agencies by
which this destructive disease is car
ried over the winter.
The cause of the disease is un-
known, but diseased plants contain a
form of infection which may be trans
mitted to healthy plants by such in
sects as the melon aphis and the
striped cucumber beetle. The disease
does not live in the soil and is not
carried in the seed of the cultivated
cucurbits, but is known to live from
year to year in certain wild plants,
some of which occur in most of the
ucumber-growing sections.
Wild Plants Garry Disease.
The known wild plants which carry
the disease are the wild cucumber,
milkweed, pokeweed, two species of
wild ground cherry, and catnip. The
disease is carried over winter in the
roots of these plants, except in the
case of the wild cucumber which car
ries the infection in the seed. Insects
feeding on these infected wild plants
and on the cucumbers in the field
spread the mosaic disease. In num-
Der of fields where the average mosaic
infection had been approximately 40
per cent, eradication Of the wild host
plants in and near the fields reduced
it to per cent.
Before planting, the field itself and
oil land within IS yards should be
carefully inspected and all wild host
plants, whether healthy or diseased,
should be pulled out. If the cucumber
field can be surrounded by other Gull
tivated crops, the work of eradication
will be simplified and insects are like
ly to be less prevalent.
Plants Are Dwarfed.
Mosaic cucumber plants are
dwarfed, the younger leaves are
notified with green and yellow, and
the fruits are notified and misshapen /;
the darker areas forming warty pro-
jections on the surface. When such
plants appear early in the sason they
should be removed Immediately to pre-
vent further spread Of the infection
by insects. 1t is also advisable to use
insecticides to reduce the number Of
insects. Where several fields are ad-
jacent to one another it is essential
that all growers cooperate in remov-
ing the wild host plants about their
fields.

The bugaboo of descending steep

To stop the car while descending

Fresh Straw Is Liable
to Stunt Plant Growth

Fresh straw plowed under some
times stunts the growth of the fol-
lowing crop, according to soil special
lists of the New Jersey agricultural
experiment station. The straw acts
as medium for certain kinds of bac-
terra which multiply rapidly and
which feed on the nitrogen that
would ordinarily go to the crop. This
explanation is borne out by the fact
that when nitrogen is added with the
straw, the harmful effects are pre-
vented.
In very sandy soils, injury appears
before shortage of nitrogen can make
itself felt Apparently, the straw also
introduces poisons which affect the
tender seedlings.
The soil specialists of the station
are now endeavoring to find methods
Of treating the straw so that both

Determine Hay Grade
by Time of Cutting
Some Common Hays Are AL
vowed to Stand Too Long.

Late cutting and improper curing
are the most common cause of low
grades and low prices of hay, says
Prof. L. A. Dalton Of the department
of agronomy at the New York State
College of Agriculture at Ithaca. The
usual difference between No. 2 and
No. hay is that No. was allowed to
become over-ripe or was cured in such
a way that it lost its color and aroma.
The time when the common hays
should be cut are as follows, accord
ing to Professor Dalton:
Timothy should be cut when 1t is
in full bloom. If allowed to stand
longer the leaves and stems turn
brown. If allowed to stand too long
many of the leaves turn brown and
fall and the stems become woody.
Mixtures of clover and timothy
should be cut when the clover has
reached full bloom. Red clover usu.
ally blooms ten days to two weeks
earlier than timothy, but if the cutting
is delayed until the timothy is in
bloom the clover will be over-ripe.
Alfalfa should be cut when one
tenth to one-ffth of the crop is in
full bloom. If allowed to stand longer
the plants that Powered first lose
many leaves and become hard and
woody.
Hay should be raked into windows
while it is still sappy so that its
moisture will evaporate without the
excessive loss of green color. which
occurs when all the hay is exposed to
the sunlight in the swath.
