Poultrymen Face
Feed Problems
tcOntinued from PIrst PAreJ

Hens like soy bean hay for litter
and it will help in keeping up
fairly good egg production.
Proper envirOnmental conditions
are especially important when feed
is not too plentiful. These include
clean well-ventilated houses, plen-
ty of feed hoppers so that they
need not be overrun, ample water,
and freedom from internal and ex-
ternal parasites.
Best use of short supplies of
feed can be made by keeping only
healthy vigorous stock. Only those
pullets which have the character
istics of excellent layers should be
housed. and the rest should be sold
for meat.
Mr.. Miles also suggests that Del
aware flock owners may be able to
start or increase their own pro-
ductiOn of green feed and litter.
The chickens themselves will pro-
vide a plentiful supply of fertilizer
rich in nitrogen, and many flock
owners will have plenty of land
available for growing at least a
part of their supply of grain and all
their litter.
Plan this fall to place growing
pullets on a good range of ladinO
clover and grasses in 1914 in order
to reduce costs and supply vitamins
and minerals lacking in available
mashes.

Senator Buck Doubts
Alaskan Road Value
continue from r,rst Page,

highway construction. A stretch Oi
more than 300 miles of the high
way between Fort St. John and Fort
Nelson, was Travelled by autOmo-
bile.
Senator Buck said the most i'm
pressive thing about the highway
was the short time required for its
construction.
THE huge sum of money eXpend-
ed to build this road was regarded
as necessary at the time the plans
were made because the Japanese
were threatening to blockade the
Pacific Coast and cut off the only
supply route to Alaska" he said
"Since that time the military sit
uation has changed and now the
shipping between this country and
Alaska is no longer in danger" he
pointed out.
The greatest value of the high
way so far has been the supplying
of the airfields that dot it at in
tervals of every three or four hun
dred miles, he said.
AlleT lue wal L llllUh THESE air
fields will be of more importance
than the highway ITSELF
He said that many of the bridges
across rivers of the wilderness will
have to be rebuilt every year be-
cause of the thaws and that the up
keep of the highway would hardly
be justified if air and water traffic
is secure.
To-day. with the present mill
tary situation, the highway would
never have been authorized" he
declared.
Senator Buck described the high
way as between % and "a feet wide
with a gravel surface, The align
ment of the road is beautiful when
viewed from the air as it cuts its
way through marshes and woods
and winds around mountains and
lakes" he said
He said one of the men living
along the highway had told him
that about 800 motor vehicles had
passed over the highway on the
previous day.
The highway is expected to be
opened completely next January
when 30-mile stretch between
White Horse and Fairbanks is fin
ished.

Apply Control For
Peach Borer Now
Extension EntOmOIlgst Urges Use
OF ParadichIOrObenz

Delaware peach trees need not
suffer serious damage from the
peach borer every year, says Har-
vey L. Chada; extension entomolo-
gist for the Delaware Agricultural
Extension Service. Sometimes
young peach trees are. completely
girdled and die, and older trees
are so lowered in vitality that their
resistance to disease and other
insects is lowered.
Chada says the most satisfactory
control of the peach borer has been
obtained by using paradichloroben-
zene in the fall at the end of the
egg laying period Apply the
"PDB" crystals in a continuous
band about l or IL inches wide
around the tree and l or 11z inches
from the trunk, not allowing the
crystals to contact the trunk. Rates
of application vary with size or
age of the tree. For trees l to 3
years old, about 4 to Y ounce
should be used; for those 4 to
years old, y ounce; for trees
years and older, 1ounce. and for
unusually large trees, 11a ounces
or more.
After the chemical has been
placed around the tree, several
shovelfuls of soil should be packed
over it to prevent surface loss of
the gas. About four to six weeks
after the application has been
it has had time to do
its job-or early next spring, the
should be torn down and
the ground leveled so that the next .
generation of borers will not enter
the trees higher up on the trunk.
Now is the time to make these
applications, says Mr.. Chada. The
female moths lay eggs on trunks
and lower branches of the trees /
during the summer, and upon hat
ching the larvae drop or crawl to
ground level and bore directly into
the bark or enter cracks and begin
10 feed. Damage is caused by the
feeding of the borers on the grow
ing tissues, usually on the trunk
Just below the surface of the soil,
although the larger roots are some
times attacked. The fumes of the
PDB kill the borers, which are now
beginning to go into the trees. The
chemical is less effective after the
soil temperature drops below 60
iegrees F. because little of the
crystals change to a gas below this
