Control Melon Aphid by
Application of Nicotine

(Prepared by the United States Depart
nent Of Agricultural
The melon aphid, which attacks wa
termelons, muskmelons, cucumberS and
like crops, is effectively controlled by
the application Of nicotine either as
spray or dust, says the United States
Department of Agriculture. This in
sect, frequently called the melon louise,
is very small, varies in color from
light green to dark green, and the
wingless forms are louselike in appear
ance.
The pest has more than 40 known
natural insect enemies, which in some
measure check its ravages, according
to Bulletin No. 1499-F, 'The Melon
Aphid and Its Control" When condi-
tons are favorable for Its develop
ment, however, artificial control be.
comes necessary.
The winged forms of the aphid de-
velop on other food plants and fly to
the melon and cucumber vines, where
they feed on the underside of the
leaves, which curl, wither and die
Since the insects are capable of caus-
ing wholesale destruction on short no.
tice, it is important that constant
lookout be kept for any sign of the
pest and control measures applied
promptly.
The bulletin contains general de-
scription of the melon aphid, the ma
ture of it's attack, distribution, food
plants, seasonal history, insect enc
mics, and methods of control. A copy
may be obtained free, as long as the
supply lasts, upon request to the Unit

Bichloride Is Safest
for Sweet Potato Dip

Growers will do well to continue
using mercuric chloride for the con-
troll of certain sweet potato diseases,
in the opinion of r. F. Poole, as
sociate plant pathologist at the New
Jersey agricultural experiment sta
tion. Experiments indicate that mum.
Der of new organic mercury COM
pounds now on the market must be
used with caution. These substances
control the diseases very we'll but
also poison the roots of the plants
and thereby reduce sprout develop
ment to considerable degree.
Until this bad effect of the new
compounds is overcome, growers will
get better results from the old mer-
curic chloride or, as it is sometimes
called, bichloride of mercury, dipping
method. In making the solution for
this, one )ounee Of the bichloride is
used in eight gallons of water. By
immersing the seed potatoes in this
for ten minutes, the grower can de-
stroy scurf, black rot, soft rot, and
stem rot organisms on the surface of
the potatoes.
No solution is effective, Doctor
Poole adds, unless healthy seed is
selected. The only function of the
seed treatment is to destroy organ
isms resting on the potatoes before
they begin to enter the skin and young
sprouts. Once they have entered, no
surface treatment can reach them

To Wage Poison War
on Cabbage Maggots
Corrosive Sublimate Guns
Useful for Purpose.

New tactics are to be used against
cabbage maggots this year by Del-Bay
Farms, Of Bridgeton, N. ]. Instead of
using the customary method of hoeing
around the young cabbage plants to-
remove maggOt eggs, the company
will poison the pest with corrosive
subimate.
With the new method, the young
cabbage plants are watched after they
are set in the field. When eggs of the
maggot fly are found, which under
ordinary conditions will be within
four or six days after the setting. the
Del-Bay Farms workmen will go into
action with their corrosive sublimate
guns. Instructions have been issued
to apply the solution on the plants for
space of about two inches above
the ground so that 1t will run down to
the roots. A second application will
be made ten days later.
The Del-Bay Farms company est.
mates that this treatment, including
materials and labor, will cost about
SIS an acre for each application,
which is considerably below the cost
of the old method.

in vegetable growing for the New Jer'
sey State College of Agriculture. as
serts that corrosive sublimate has also
been used for checking the ravages of
cabbage maggots on cauliflower and
radishes. The chemical can be ob-
tanned at any drug store. For cabbage
maggot control, 1t Is dissolved at the
rate of one ounce to eight or ten
gallons of water and about one-half
cupful of the solution applied to eacf

Agricultural Notes

Coccidiosis and bacillary white
diarrhea are chick diseases dreaded
by every poultryman.'
All the good things that can be said
about alfalfa apply in slightly less de-
gree to clover and other legumes.
AS long as the only reason you plant
tree or bush is to have something
worthwhile growing, it looks like good
sense to use sufficient care in the
planting of the tree or bush to insure
its growth.
A period of better prices in the beef
cattle industry is ahead because the
number of consumers is increasing
and because there is already a short
nge of young cattle. The high point
probably will come in 1881.
Moisture is all-important to a good
crop of fruit. Do not allow any of
it to escape. Keep the dust mulch on
the ground by running over it every
ten days or so with a spike-tooth' har-
VOW or some like implement.

Prevent Maggots From
Attacking Onion Sets

The best way to control the onion
maggot is to trap the adult flies which
lay the eggs. These flies like sweets.
About twenty small plates of a little
poisoned strip placed on an acre will
do much to control them. The plates
should be covered with wire screen
Of mesh small enough to prevent
bees from getting in. One-fourth-inch
mesh is the most satisfactory. This
screen will also prevent poultry and
birds from drinking the sirup.
The strip can be made by dissolving
one-fourth ounce of sodium arsenite in
a gallon of hot water, and then adding
pint Of molasses. The addition Of
a slice of onion makes the strip more
attractive to the flies.

NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT RI EVENTS
Flight of Chamberlin and
Levine to Germany
'Lindy" Comes Home.
By EDWARD W. PlcKARD

TRAvELING considerably farther
L than did Lindbergh, but in no
way dimming the glory of that young
mans achievement, Clarence d. Cham
berlin, pilot, and Charles A.-'Levine,
his financial hacker, flew in the Bell
anca monoplane, Columbia, from New
York to Eisleben. Germany, distance
of about 1905 miles. Their destination
was Berlin, but they wandered in a
fog and ran out of fuel and were COM
PEELED to land. at the old town where
Martin Luther was born and died.
They obtained a little gasoline there
and again started for the German
capital, but fog again hampered them
and they descended to swampy
meadow az the village of Klingen,
near Kottbus, breaking the propeller.
Repairs were made with the assist
ance of the Germans and next day the
two Americans flew to the Tempel-
hofer aviation field at Berlin.
Germany, especially Berlin, was
wild with joy over the arrival of the
Columbia, and the reception accorded
the aviators was no less enthusiastic
than that given Lindbergh in Paris.
President Won Hindenburg and every
one else all the way down the scale
showered attentions and honors on
them, and they were the guests of
Ambassador Schurman during their
stay. Won Hindenburg and President
Coolidge exchanged cable messages
of congratulation and good will, and
Berlin even renamed one of its streets
columbia" In this respect the little
town of Kottbus, however, had the
jump on the capital, for in its glee
over the landing of the plane there
it's officials named thoroughfare for
Chamberlin.
Levine's part in the exploit was a
complete surprise, even to his wife.
At the last minute he stepped aboard
the plane in his ordinary clothing and
away they went on the long fight.
Their earth. inductor compass did not
function we'll, and they made their
way across the Atlantic largely by
guess and by observing the drift of
icebergs. Toward the end of the fight
they ran into much rough weather and
fog. Chamberlin and Levine said they
intended to fly to various European
cities, including Vienna; but as soon
US the news of their safe arrival was
received their wives started across
TO join them, and this admittedly COM
plicated their plans. Whether or not
they will fly back to America is un-
decided. -

Saving Price Of

inch fence, he doesn't go 10 the ex-
pense of stretching a 4S-inch wire
along that line, even though hard
ware salesman tries to persuade The
question of mineral supplements for
swine rations, which has stirred up
considerable discussion among farm
ers, is a very similar problem and Is
almost as simple" says DIR. w. e.
Carroll, chief in swine husbandry at
the college of agriculture, University
Of Illinois.
"The two things most needed in the
way of mineral supplements for swine
Is little more straight thinking on
the part of the men who feed them,
and little less 'hocus pocus' on the
part of the statesmen. Some rations
need a mineral supplement while 9th
ers do not. In case the ration being
fed needs mineral supplement, it
Is not necessary to pay exOrbitant
prices for it.
Some Rations Need Protein.
IF ration already contains enough
mineral elements of the right kind,
nothing will be gained by adding more.
1t Is the problem of the 4-foot fence
when one feet high is ample. In
general, rations which contain liberal
amounts of skim milk, tankage, fish
meal or other protein supplements of

the necessary mineral elements, ex-
cept common salt, to meet the needs
Of any class of swine. On the other
hand, swine rations which are made
up entirely of materials from the plant
kingdom are likely to be deficient in
lime and may also lack phosphorus.
AS examples Of these rations may be
mentioned corn and soy beans, also
corn and soy bean oil meal.
"Even with these rations which are
known to be deficient in mineral, moth
ing apparently is to be gained, except
in special cases, by adding other ele-
ments than calcium, phosphorus, So
dunn and chlorine. That being the
case, the source of these elements,
their cost and the proportion in which
to. feed them are the questions need
ing attention.
Cheap Source of Calcium.
without going into detail, it may
be stated that cheap, yet satisfac-
tory, source of calcium is the ordi-
nary agricultural limestone of high
calcium grade. One of the best
sources of phosphorus is steamed bone
meal, while sodium and chlorine are
added as common salt. The proper
ton of these materials quite generally
recommended at the present time, is:
Two parts ground limestone, two parts
steamed bone meal and one part COM
mon salt. In case the feeding is being
done in goitrous area, the feeds and
water will be deficient in iodine. In
these areas one ounce of potassium or
sodium iodine should be added to
each 100 pounds of the mineral sup
plement.
"This simple mineral supplement
can be mixed on almost any farm at
cost not to exceed $1.25 to $1.75
a hundred pounds, based on average
retail prices of the ingredients. If
spent bone black can be bought for
less than steamed bone meal, it may
be substituted for the bone meal in
the formula. The Indiana station has
obtained good results from feeding a
mixture composed of ten parts wood
ashes, ten parts 16 per cent acid phos-
plate, and one part salt"
