Advise Cleanup
Of Grasshoppers
Ample Supply of Poisoned Bait
Available In Townships or
At County Seat

While little has been said or done
relative to the grasshopper control
program for 1895 the County
Agents office at st. Cloud wishes
to send out reminder that even
though there is an ample supply
of green vegetation growing at
this time that a cleanup program
should be conducted to literally
rid the county Of grasshoppers this
year. 1t is we'll to keep in mind
that unfavorable weather taking
place from the time the eggs are
laid until the time that the eggs
are beginning to hatch has little
or no affect on the hatchability Of
the eggs. Wet, rainy weather dur
ing the Matching season, however,
causes a high mortality In the
number Of grasshoppers Matched.
With little or no Matching taking
place before June 1 it Is easy
enough to see that the weather has
little effect in reducing the num-
Der since in most years the tenn
perature from June 1 to July 1 is
plenty high and in most years
there is not too much moisture to
cause any great damage to the
growing hoppers.
AS stated before there Is plenty

Fred Ahrens Found
Banded Blue Bill
Bird Was Marked January 1, 1882,
At Avery Island, louisiana,
BY E. A. McIlhenny

Mr.. Fred Ahrens, farmer living
on Route Four, Sank Centre, some
time during April, found blue
bill drake in exhausted condition
near his farm. Upon closer exam
ination he found it to be brand
ed bird and Immediately sent the
band to the Bureau of Biology OF
the United States Department OF
Agriculture. This week he received
the following letter:

culture

Washington, D. c.
Mr.. Fred Ahrens
r. F. D. 4
Sank Centre, MINI.
Dear Mr.. Ahrens:
The Biological Survey is in re-
ceipt of your recent communica-
ton. The bird carrying band No
B 631473 was a Lesser Scaup band
ed IL 1882 at Avery Island, La. by
e. A. McIlhenny.
BY means Of these numbered me-
tai bands important Investigations
relative to the migrations and 9TH
er facts in the life histories of
North American birds are being
advanced. The bands are attached
to the birds by volunteer co-opera-
tors, both in the United States and
Canada, who serve without pay.
Success in the bird-banding work
is therefore dependent upon the re-
ports of persons in both countries
on such banded birds as come to
their attention.
Migratory waterfowl have been
banded in large numbers at more
than so stations scattered over the
continent and have been recovered
as far south as the northern part
of South America Small song birds
have been banded in still greater
numbers, and many interesting
facts concerning their movements
are being discovered. These data
are not only of scientific import
ance but also are Of much service
in the administration of this valu-
able wild-life resource. The Biolo-
gical Survey, accordingly, desires
to have report on every banded
bird that may be recovered, and it
is hoped that you will continue to
help in this work by reporting any
bands that come to your attention,
giving the number with series
designation, if any, as A, B., etc.),
date Of recovery, and the locality.
Thanking you for your interest
and cooperation, I am
Very truly yours,
w. C.. Henderson,
Acting Chief.

FREE CHART LISTS BEST
FRUITS FOR MINNESOTA

From a chart recently prepared
by the Minnesota State Horticul-
ture Society, fruit grower living
anywhere in Minnesota may find
out what varieties Of fruits are re-
commended for his locality.
From map dividing the state
into six fruit-growing districts,
anyone can readily see what dis
trict his locality is in. Then by
studying the lists of apples, plums,
pears, grapes, berries and other
fruits, it is easy to learn which
home and commercial varieties are
recommended or suggested for
trial.
The committee which compiled
this fruit planting chart included
DR.. w. G. Brierley and J. D. Win
ter Of the University Farm horti-
culture staff; T. M. Mccall, horti-
culturist of the Crookston station;
Fred Ulrich, Rochester, and Lloyd

parts Of the county to furnish
plenty Of feed so that hoppers will
be late in moving away from their
Matching territory. With conditions
such as we experienced in 1884
with little or no feed growing dur
ing the Matching period we found
the hoppers moving into new ter
ritory at very early stage in or
der to find feed. This year, how
ever, they will remain in their
Matching area for a relatively long
err time and this fact should be
used to advantage in spreading
poison bait. There is an ample sup
ply Of both mixed and unmixed
bait stored in the county at St.
Cloud and also in the townships to
take care Of the cleanup work in
1885 so that no work should be
necessary for 1886 and later years.
This bait will be distributed
through the County Agents office
in all townships where the grass
hopper control set-up has remain
ed intact from last year, or is set
UP anew to meet the requirements
of this year. Before the supply in
the county seat is tapped, however,
remaining supplies in the town
ships should be used up. The dis
tribution of this bait should be de-
layed until the bulk of the hoppers
have Matched. AS was stated before
that with vegetation growing as
rapidly as it is this year there will
be little tendency for the young
hoppers to move away from hatch
ing quarters for sometime. AS a
result of that the bulk of the hop
pers can be killed with one appli-
cation of poison whereas last year
a number Of applications had to be
made over the same territory.
Undoubtedly there will be no
distribution Of bait in 1886 and for
that reason every effort should be
made to bring about a satisfactory
cleanup this year.

Questions Pertaining To
Agriculture and Home
Problems Confronting Farmers and
Homemakers Answered by
University Farm

When Is the best time to plant
chives?
The best method of propagating
chives is to take up the old plants,
divide them, and replant the in
dividual divisions or plants. They
should give good results If planted
either in the fall or early spring.
Spring planting may give a some
what more uniform stand. Chives,
as a rule, grow well on any fertile
soil that is fairly well-drained.-A.
E. Hutchins, Division of Horticul-
ture.
Are sulfate of iron and copperas
the same thing?
These two names apply to the
same compound, which is known
chemically as ferrous sulfate and
which is a bluish-green crystal.
Another sulfate of iron is known
as ferric sulfate, but this is deep
reddish-brown in crystal form. The
copperas or ferrous sulfate Is the
form ordinarily used for technical
purposes.-R. A. Gortner, Division
Of Agricultural Biochemistry.
What trees should be used for a
windbreak on peat soil?
Much depends on how deep and
wet the peat is. On deep, wet peat
only few trees, such as lamar
ack, black spruce and white cedar
will grow. These, however, are
easily blown down. If the peat is
shallow and stays moderately
moist, throughout the growing sea-
son, almost any kind of tree should
do all right. would, suggest Am
erican elm or white birch as good
ones to try.-E. c. Cheyney, Div
ision Of Forestry.
Why is IL advised to sow vege-
BILE seeds In rows rather than to
broadcast them in beds?
There are several reasons for
this advice. Seed sown in rows can
be placed at uniform depth
which facilitates sprouting and i'm
proves the stand. Cultural opera
tons, such as thinning, cultivation,
and wedding, are made easier. In
the broadcast bed, practically all
wedding and cultivation must be
done by hand; when planted in
rows, much Of this work can be
done with hand hoes, wheel hoes,
or larger machinery. There is also
some tendency for greater loss Of
plants in the broadcast beds, owing
to more damping off.-A. e. Hut
chins, Division of Horticulture.

der that settled out of the well WA
ter on our farm. What Is this sub
stance?
This red powder is ordinary iron
rust, known chemically as iron OK
ide. When the water comes from
the well it is clear, because the
iron is in solution, but on contact
with the air the iron takes up OK
ygen, making iron oxide or iron
rust. You can get around the
trouble by building settling tank
where the water can stand until
most of the rust settles out. Add
ing a little lime water will hasten
the settling out of the iron. For
laundry purposes the iron can be
gotten rid of by adding little sal
soda, stirring thoroughly and then
drawing off the clear water. - r.
