New Wool Test Is Good
Gl1ide for Sheen Breeders

By the application of simple
method, coupled with the assistance
of dry-eleaning, establishments, sheep
breeders may determine, from a small
sample, the clean-wool yield and dens-
ity of the fieeces Of their sheep.
This is the Judgment Of DR.. John l..
Hardy Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, fiber technologiSt
of the bureau Of animal industry, who
has been seeking to develop rapid
and inexpensive test for the density
Of fleece and for clean wool yield.
The procedure consists in shearing,
with clippers, swath Of wool 1 inch
wide and inches long from the side
Of the sheep, weighing the sample,
dry-cleaning 1t by the ordinary dry
cleaning process. and weighing 1t
again. From the difference between
the two weights. the percentage of
yield of clean, dry wool can be COM
puted for the sample. This percent
age, when applied to the weight of
the fleece, shows approximately how
much clean wool the fleece will yield.
This information is Of practical value
in selecting breeding animals. The
wool sample is taken from a measured
area of skin and furnishes the basis
for calculating the weight of clean,
dry wool per square inch of skin sur
face as an expression of the density
of the fleece.

Farm Population Gaining

Estimates by the United States bu-
reau of agricultural economics indi-
cate that the farm population of the
country will be 100000 by the end
of this year. The net gain in farm
population in 1880 and 1881, plus the
gains that are believed probable last
year, will more than offset the de-
crease of approximately 100000 peo-
pie in the farm population from the
years 1920 to 1890. Farm population
reached its peak in 1910. when the fig
IRE given by the census bureau was
32,077, 900.

Grasshopper Area
Sees Less Trouble
Only One State Reports In
crease in Number of
Eggs in Ground.

The prospects for damage from
grasshoppers over the infested area as
whole are much less alarming than
they were year ago, according to
the results of the 1882 survey Of grass
hopper conditions reported by the bu-
reau of entomology of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Only North Dakota shows an increase
in the number Of eggs in the ground
over the number deposited in the fall
of 1881. If the weather this spring
and early summer happens to be ia
vorable for grasshopper growth, how
ever more than five and one-half mil
lion acres in eight western states may
need applications of poison bran to
save cereal and forage crops from
wholesale destruction by the hoppers.
Detailed surveys in cooperation
with state entomologists Of the areas
where the 1882 grasshoppers laid their
eggs show that big hatch may be
expected in six counties in Colorado.
10 in Idaho, IS in Minnesota, % in
Montana. AZ in Nebraska, so In North
Dakota, 4S in South Dakota, and four
in Wyoming. The number Of acres in
these states that may need poisoning
ranges from 10000. with an estimated
cost of $3.50 for material. in Colo
RADIO, to 3,0S4,736, with an estimated
cost of 1886, 450 for material, in North
Dakota.
Grasshoppers gained firm foot
hold in the hay and grain fields of the
West in 1880 and 1881. when the hot.
dry weather provided conditions ideal
for the hoppers and unfavorable for
the disease and parasites that serve
as a natural control of this pest. The
infestation expected in 1882 from the
millions of eggs laid in 1881 failed to
reach serious proportions over much
of the area threatened because the
weather early in the season was cold
and damp. Where the weather ia
vored grasshopper growth many farm
ers-assisted by states or counties
took advantage of the warnings broad
cast by entomologists and spread the
recommended poison bait over their
fields in time to destroy the young
hoppers.

When to Fertilize Grapes

Fertilizers, particularly heterogeneous
fertilizers, increased the yield, stimu-
lated wood growth, and improved the
quality of the fruit in 10-year test
with grapes made by Prof. F. e. Glad
win, horticulturist in charge of the
Vineyard laboratory maintained at
Fredonia, N. Y, by the state expert
ment station. Comparisons were made
of complete fertilizers and of various
combinations of nitrogen, potassium
and phosphorus. Wherever fertilizers
were used marked benefits were OBJ
served, although nitrogen proved the
most helpful of the three elements.

To Control Insect Spread

Simple changes in routine farm op-
erations to deprive insects Of food or
shelter at critical periods in their life
cycle offer valuable control method,
according to United States entomolo-
gists. Timely forecasts of the prob
able performance of many insects,
based on the results of chronological
studies. now make it easy to outmove
these pests by advancing or delaying
seeding or narrowing by thoroughly
cleaning up a threatened area or by
changing crop rotations.
