Insects Prove Useful

The popular idea that nearly all in

some parts of the world insects have

threatened to crowd out useful plants.
Entomologists of the Hawaiian Su-

ports state that this plan Of control

prickly pear cactus, plant which has
spread over the country at an alarm
ing rate. A few years ago 1t was said
that 100000 acres of land in Aus
tralia were overgrown by this cactus,
and the rate of increase was about
100000 acres year. After other
methods of control had failed the plan
of importing insect enemies was adopt
ed, and it is proving successful, &C.

Goosefoot Weed Weakens
Disease of Sugar Beets

A weed which is good as well as bad
has come to the attention Of the Unit

It Is the nettle-leaved goosefoot.
To all outward appearances. this
weed in a sugar-beet field concentrates
all effort on robbing the crop of its

weed, the wild chickweed, may restore

Substitute for
Stable Manure
Specialist Is Developing Syn
thetic Compost for
Mushrooms. NJ

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture. )-WNU Service.
With the horse population steadily
decreasing, mushroom growers of the
country have been looking to the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture for satisfactory substitute for
stable manure, the standard medium
for growing this crop. To meet this
need DR.. Edmund B. Lambert, mush-
room specialist Of the department, Is
developing a synthetic compost which
has given promising results. In gen.
eral way the procedure used in making
this compost is based on the process
for making artificial manure that was
developed and patented by English
scientists in 1922.
Synthetic Compost Tested.
The artificial compost was first test
ed in 1928, and three crops Of mush-
rooms have been harvested from it.
The mushrooms grown on the syn
thetic material were normal in every
way and fair yields were obtained,
but as vet they do not compare favor
ably with yields obtained by CONNER
cial growers. The experiments are be-
ing continued, however, and the prod
uct is being steadily improved.
Wheat straw, cut into short pieces,
forms the base for the synthetic COM
post. Different sources Of nitrogen,
such as dried blood, cyanamids, and
urea, were added in varying amounts,
as we'll as various mineral foods, to
determine the ratios that produce the
best crop. The material is handled
in the same way as ordinary compost,
and no change is made in the usual
cultural practices.
Industry Is Growing.
The mushroom industry In this coun-
try has made a remarkable growth
within the last 20 years, according to
Doctor Lambert. This has resulted,
he says, from the development Of
pedigreed spawn, or propagating ma
terial, and the use Of special houses
instead of caves for growing the crop.
The use Of pure culture spawn is
big factor in the control Of insect
pests and diseases, and the grower can
control temperature and moisture con-

Farmers Safeguard. 1881
CrOnS hV Testing Seed

To protect themselves from unscrup-
ulous distribution of farm seeds, farm
ers in many sections of Wisconsin may
call into action state law which pro-
hibits the sale of such stocks without
purity and termination tests.
While it is expected that much of
the Wisconsin grown alfalfa seed will
meet all legal requirements. frugal
growers will not run any chances next
spring by planting seed which has
failed to meet these standards.
A. L. Stone, Wisconsin state seed
Inspector, is preparing to meet a live
ly call for the services of the state
seed laboratory in testing this, and
other, seed sold under the state law.
