Kill All Garden Pests
Before They Get Start

AS crop insurance for Missouri gar
dens in 1927, Leonard Haseman, en-
tomologist at the Missouri College of
Agriculture, urges every gardener to
clean up all trash at the first oppor-
tunity.
After burning the trash to destroy
all alternating insects, pillow the
ground just as soon as the frost is
out sufficiently to permit it. This
will expose many more insects that
live under ground. A later freeze is
likely to kill them and will also i'm
prove the condition of the soil.
Very early in the spring, also, the
war can be carried into the camp of
the garden mole. In the earliest of
his spring runs, while food is scarce,
raisins or scraps of meat treated with
strychnine will prevent lot Of later
damage to lawn and garden.
All such early measures which re-
duce the numbers of insects and larg-
er pests in advance of warm weather
will prove very effective in prevent
ing large increases in their numbers
and reducing the difficulties of the
busy gardening season..

Agricultural Notes

Don't be fooled by old corn. Test it.
European Larch grows well on dry
upland and it produces good posts and
poles.
Nearly five million acres of land in
New York produce hay and nearly
four million acres produce maple strip
and maple sugar.
Efficient power on the farm only
comes when the producer of the power
is in the best possible shape-be it
horses, tractor, truck or electricity.
Now York's quota of forest trees to
plant this year is thirty million. Last
year twenty million were planted and
the year before the total was ten mil
lion.
Correct packing by the shipper and
careful handling by the transporta-
ton company can prevent all damage
to eggs in transit except that caused
by accidents.

Seed-C Corn Maggot Also
Pest of Seed Potatoes

Studies Of the seen-corn maggot,
which is also a pest of seed potatoes,
lead the bureau of entomology to con-
clude that maggot attack normally fol-
lows seed-potato injury or decay. 1t
has been found that the eggs of the
adult fly are not as rule deposited
on freshly cut pieces of seed potato
even though these are left exposed in
the field for several hours. The
young maggots do not feed on healthy
pieces of potato seed, but if decay is
present the maggots enter these spots
and develop without difficulty. Plant
Ing methods which tend to preserve
the seed and prevent rotting or burn
ing throughout the termination period
will lessen injury by this insect.

The departments estimates are
based on reports from about 60 active
egg and poultry associations. These
associations are located in p states.
Their business is believed to comprise
most of the egg marketing done CO.
operatively in the country. A few as
sociations failed to report the volume
of their business to the department,
but these are small concerns whose
figures presumably would not greatly
affect the total.
One of the California associations
handled 782,07O cases of eggs last
year. This was the largest quantity
handled for any one cooperative con.

died more than 100000 cases each.

In connection with it's egg marketing
studies, the department has made an
attempt to find out what amount of
poultry is handled comparatively in
the United States. There is less in
formation available about poultry mar
keting than about egg marketing.
However, the department says a total
of 12,32S,O57 pounds of live poultry
was handled last year by 81 cooper
alive associations. Sixteen associa-
tons handling dressed poultry report
ed the marketing Of 4,090,510 pounds
in 1925.
Leading states in the cooperative
