Control Insects
and Disorders
Annual Loss From Pests and
Diseases Amounts to
Immense Sum.

The annual loss of crops caused BY
insect pests and fungus diseases in
New York state exceeds the. amount
appropriated each year TO conduct
the states business. according TO a
bulletin on the control of insects and
plant diseases, reprinted at the New
York state college Of agriculture al
Ithaca, n. Y.
By careful spraying experiments
conducted by growers themselves. ii
is shown that the average annual
preyentable loss to potato growers in
this state from blights and insects is
nearly fifty bushels to the acre. This
represents a yearly loss Of more than
ten million dollars which might be
prevented by spending less than ten
dollars an acre for spraying.
Estimate of Losses.
A careful estimate of losses from
the loose smut Of oats in New York
shows that five per cent of the crop
is destroyed annually by this fungus
disease, a net loss Of more than a
million dollars in 1919 when the gov
eminent survey was made. The
losses from apple seab, eodling moth,
and San Jose scale, from peach yell
lows and fire blight. and from all the
other common insect pests and de-
structive plant diseases, If they could
be accurately calculated, weuld show
a grand total of appalling magnitude.
This tremendous annual tax on the
plant production OF the state might
be greatly reduced by the proper APP
plication of known methods Of con
troll.
The method OF control TO be en-
ployed for a given insect pest OF
fungus disease must be determined
by the nature and habits Of the en-
envy and by the character of the crop
attacked. Plants can seldom be cured
of disease as are men and animals !:
they must be protected from the at
tack. II sucking insects are TO be
controlled, something must be applied
that viii kill when il hits them; if
biting insects are TO be combated. the
fruit and foliage of the plants must
be sprayed or busted with a poison
that when eaten viii destroy the pest.
Prevent Diseases.
Many fungus diseases are prevent
ed by spraying the plants before the
disease appears, with mixture de-
structive to the fungus but harm
less 10 the plant. The poisons that
destroy fungi are seldom effective
against insects, and hence we have
fungicides and insecticides. Often
these can be combined in one mix
/ ture for insect and fungus pests of
certain crops as, for example, ar
senate Of lead and lime sulphur for
controlling cooling moth and apple
scab.

Best Planting Distance
for Many Fruit Plants

Many times fruit plants are planted
too close and growth is unsatisfactory,
states c. Woolsey. University of Ar
kansas college of agriculture extern
sion service. The common distances
recommended are as follows: Apples,
80 feet apart each way; peaches, 81
feet apart each way; cherries, 81 feet
apart each way; plums, q feet apart
each way; grapes, feet apart in a
row that is 10 feet from the last row
of tree fruits; blackberries, feet
apart in rows s feet apart; raspber-
ries, 3 feet apart in rows feet apart !;
strawberries, 215 to 81 feet apart in
rows 4 feet apart.

so much that I have used Fig Syrup
ever since for all his colds or little

Frequency of Milking
Cows Is Hard Problem

1t is very difficult TO establish a hard
and fast rule as TO when COW should
be MIXED out completely after calv-
ing and how often she should be
MIXED. Like many other things in
the care of an animal, great deal
depends upon the existing circum-
stances. Care is not merely a matter
of frequency of milking but also avoid
ing those conditions that would cause
period. The understanding of the
caretaker as TO the condition of his
animal is a very material factor.
