PESTS DOING
FARM DAMAGE
Cool Spring Delays Them
But They Are Out in
Force Now
BY HITLER KIREGHBAUM
United Press Staff Correspondent

>h'hSe '>SS SNAsh
WASHINGTON. June Is. -
(UP)-The insect armies that an.
nually do millions of dollars worth
of farm damage are on the march
again after slower start than
usual because of a backward, cool
spring.
Department of agriculture Of
ficials revealed last night that a
survey of all sections of the
country showed that graSshoppcrS,
Mormon crickets, chinch bugs and
fruit aphidS now are trying to
make up for the lost time. En-
perts in controlling these pests
are prepared for one of the great
est battles of recent years.
GraSshOpperS are Matching now
in the great plains and upper Mis-
siSSippi valley. The department of
agriculture is cooperating with %
states in the spreading of tons of
hopper bait over thousands of
acres. During the anti-grasShop-
per. campaign in the past three
years, approximately 10000 tons
of hopper bait have been. scat
tered over 26,000,000 acres Of
crop, pasture and range land.
The bait is scattered so thinly
that even if livestock, sheep or
horses come in contact with it
they will not be poisoned. By
carefully spreading the poisoned
bait, it is possible to kill the pests
without injuring domestic ami
mails.
Directions drafted by agricul-
tural research workers, who have
! established just what lethal dose
would be, call for half a pound
of arsenic mixed with the 20
pounds of wet bait to be spread
over one acre.
Mormon crickctS arc far more
numerous in the northwestern
states than last year, the survey
showed. Montana and Wyoming
reported that thcs cinScctS are
four TO five times as numerous as
in 1886 in certain localities. Nor
mon crickcts last year land their
eggs in crop lands as well as IN
waste lands which usually are
their egg-laying hauntS.
This gives the Mormon crickctS
an advantage because ordinarily
the young have to migrate to the
cultivated fields from the waste
land. 1T also makes it more diff
cult for those who seek to curb
their activities; weeds can be cut
down and burned while crops can
not.
More boil weevils than in any
time in the past four years were
reported from sections of South
Carolina while the delta region OF
Mississippi and Louisiana as well
as Georgia are exceptionally free
from this insect pest this year.
Chinch bugs are out in many
South Carolina and Mississippi
fields although they have been
slow to leave their winter quar-
tcrs in the east central states.
! May beetles in the south Atlantic
states and in Kentucky have left
many trees bare of foliage.
Generally, the fruit aphids are
less troublesome than usual, the
departments survey showed. The
pea aphid, however, is attacking
alfalfa in Virginia, Kansas, Utah
and the Pacific northwest and
peas in Virginia, Delaware, Mary
land, Ohio and Utah.
Many worms that feed on
crops are out in great number
and already have done much dam
age.

BUILD UP ORCHARDS SOIL
WITH LEGUMES, is ADVISED
Study Shows One Orchard
Loses 80 Per Cent of
Soil by Erosion
BY II. r. NISWoNGER
-Extension Hortieulturist North
.s-. Carolina State College

Many of the apple and peach
orchards OF North Carolina have
been set on sloping land subject
to erosion and have been cultivat-
ed year after year without turn
ing under cover crops. This is
especially true in some of our
peach orchards located on the
heavier types of soil. 1t has been
observed that when this kind of
cultivation has been followed. the
organic matter of the soil has
been destroyed faster than il can
be replaced and the water hold
ing capacity of the soil has been
retarded. Heavy dOwnpOurS of
rain during the spring months,
even IN late summer, result in a
run-Off of surface water. Tracks
made by the wheels of the spray
ing machinery open up new courS-
eS for the water run-off.
A study of a twenty-yCar-old
orchard which had received clean
cultivation on a one To five per
cent slope, showed that the nor
NAL surface of the soil of six
inches or more was found i'm only
twenty per cent of the orchard.
This indicated that approximately
so per cent of the orchard had
suffered soil erosion in some de-
gree, while in about fOrty-fve per
cent of the orchard, the surface
soil had been practically destroy
ed.
IL we are to build mp the hui
mus content of our fruit soils and
maintain them in the most eco
nomical way, yet, at the same
time, keep the fruit trees in a
vigorous condition and maintain
normal production, how should We
proceed?
HOW 1T IS DONE?
Let us see how it is being done
in one of our Piedmont peach or
chardS and in one or more of
our mountain apple orchards.
You may picture this peach or
chard in two parts. One part is
now three years old; the other,
eight To ten years old. The or
chard land is a gravelly loan type
of soil. The land on which the
young orchard of three years of
age is growing was first seeded to
rye and then followed by lespe-
deza. An area of three feet around
each peach tree was cultivated
and fortified with stable manure
supplemented with a nitrogen fer
tilizer. The second year after
planting, the leSpedeza was disked

referred to just now is grow ing
permanent cover crop OF leSpc-
dcza, which is diSked under in
late winter followed by reSecding
and the growth cut once during
late summer. with the cutting left
on the ground. A complete fertili-
Ter containing a high per cent Of
phosphoric acid is broadcast over
the lcSpcdeza to increase its
growth. The area under the
branches of the trees is hand cul-
tivated with each tree receiving
an annual application of nitrogen
fertilizers.
Another orchard, located on
steep rolling land, is receiving a
standardization method of soil
management. This land is rather
devoid of organic matter and sub
iect to serious soil erosion. This
sod-cultivarion method consists of
sowing one middle of the tree
rows to lespedeza and the other
middle to soybeans. The soybeanS
are turned under, followed by the
sowing of lcspcdeza in the spring
The next year the procedure is
reversed. In other words, every
other middle in every other year
has a crop of soybeans turned
under while the remaining mlddleS
are in permanent cover crop OF
leSpedeza. The trees received IN
dividual hand cultivation and an
annual application of nitrogen
fertilizers.
1t is evident that constant TIL
lage of the clean cultivation prac-
tees in orchard management are
changing. 1t will become more
evident as the fruit grower be-
comes conscious of soil erosion
and sees the value of the prln-
ciples outlined in the agricultural
conservation program. Constant
tillage. so often practiced in the
past, has resulted in depleted
soils, the humus has been burn
ed out" the soil structure de-
stroyed and as the trees become
less vigorous and poorly nourish-
ed, the yields drop.
