Pyrethrum Flowers Form
Basis of Insecticides

Uncle Sam is preparing to "roll his
own" insect powders. In other words,
the Department of Agriculture is con-
Quoting field experiments to determine
whether or not pyrethrum flowers,
which, when ground. form the basis
of many insecticides, can be grown
successfully on commercial scale in
the United States.
The plant is closely related to the
common oxeye daisy and has been
produced commercially in California,
but the supply now comes largely
from Dalmatia and Japan.
1t. costs from $1.000,000 to $3,OOO,-
600 annually, and the department
wants to know what can be done to-
ward keeping the money at home.

under present conditions" Mr..
Slocum declared, ''the market man
must base his operations on such linn
tied information as is now available
and on his own opportunities, often
decidedly limited, to form an opinion
MS to probable production. The pro-
ducer, likewise, must adjust his pro-
ductions program on decidedly in
adequate basis on which to judge of
the probable size of the poultry and
egg crops which will be available dur
ing the ensuing season. The indus
try needs a much clearer picture OF
current conditions and of the probable
trends of the immediate and the more
remote future to enable it to regulate
production most intelligently and to
market the poultry and egg crops to
the best advantage
vaius of Product.
The poultry industry, according to,
Mr.. Slocum, accounted last year for
16 per cent of the total value of live
stock and its products, but because
the industry is widespread and be-
cause of the relative invisibility of
the crop, accurate ana complete pOul-
try crop information IS particularly
difficult to obtain. A Department of
Agriculture committee has been CIV
ing careful consideration to the prob
lem of developing more adequate
.asis statistics for this industry, the
collection, tabulation and release of
which, the committee believes, may be
performed most logically by the state
and federal government.
Collection of Statistics.
A tentative program formulated by
this committee includes the collection
of statistics ON producing stocks on
hand. hatchings. young stock on
farms, and receipts at country con-
centration points, great deal Of 9th
err important data can be derived.
Ito undertake the collection of
these basic statistics" Mr.. STocum
said- lit would be necessary for the
department to expanG considerably
the reports which it now receives,
probably to reclassify ITS list of vol
untary reporters and to extend their
number considerably. and very likely
to- employ some paid observers. 1t
would alst be necessary to employ q
competent statistician with adequate
assistants who could devote their en-
tire time to work for the poultry in
iustry. The wholehearted support
and cooperation of the trade would
be required"

Defines Radical Vets
BY radical vets I refer to those
individuals who are unwilling to ac-
cept the constitution of the United
States and the mandates of congress
and who advocate ignoring and null
lifying the prohibition law. They
have their adequate remedy in
changing the constitution in the
regular way; by repeating the 18th
amendment.
BY radical drys. I refer to those
well meaning but ill advised people
who are criticizing the efforts of
public officials who are honestly
trying to carry out the laws of
congress. Constructive criticism is
always helpful but faultfinding by
overzealous advocates of prohibition
is very harmful to the cause of tenn
perance."
