Experiment Stations.
County Agents Fight
Crop Destroyers.

How the farmer fares in his
never-ending battle against in
sect pests, weather, disease,
erosion and the thousand and
one other hazards farm life is
heir to, will largely determine
how we'll he succeeds in meeting
Uncle Sans ever increasing
call for more production of
foods, dairy products, fibers and

Luckily, the farmer has his own
army, navy, marine corps, coast
guard, and air force to battle and
vanquish his enemies. Who COM
prise these armed forces? The agri-
cultural experiment stations and the
extension services of his state land
grant colleges.
The way these services help the
farmer to combat any production
troubles old or new that come his
way, is described by M. N Beeler,
in the current issue of Capper's
Farmer.
"The trouble which meets a man
at any dawn or in the dead of night
may be as old as Bangs disease
drought to America by Cortez in
1921 or Hessian fly introduced into
the colonies by German hirelings
during the Revolution), writes Mr..
Beeler. 1T may be as new as late
potato blight in the Red river val
ley, or the attack of European corn
borer in Illinois. Trouble may be as
persistent as bindweed, smut, codling
moth or boil weevil, as complicat-
ed as malnutrition originating in

hopper scourge, as mysterious as
baby pig disease, as commonplace
as labor shortage, as rare as foot

in the kitchen, as big as a COM
plete management and production

Assistance Is at Hand.
But whatever the difficulty, help
in most cases is no farther away
than the county extension agent, or
the land grant college, Mr.. Beeler
points out. Potentialities for trou-
BILE can be appreciated when such an
everyday animal as the hog is sub
ject to more than GO Affections. Poul-
try may succumb to any one or a
combination of 80. The Indiana ex-
pertinent station lists ID common
enemies of corn within that state
in the category of diseases. And an
Ohio report credits these same dis
eases with a $4,000, 0O0-bushel yield
reduction in a single year. This
damage is in addition to losses from
borers, chinch bugs, ear worms,
grasshoppers, aphids, root lice and
a host of other insects.
Continuing experimental projects
are reported by the Arkansas sta

Of cotton, such as wilt, boil weevil,
seed-destroying diseases, aphids,
leaf worms, boil worms, red spider,
flea hopper, root rot and just plain
soil poverty. Any sheepman, says
Mr.. Beeler, can count dozen profit

but there are at least SO miscellane-
Gus diseases and 40 internal para
sites besides foot rot, sore mouth,
scab, ticks, pregnancy and lung
diseases.
Furthermore, the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture year book for

and pests of cattle and explains
there are 10 or more species of bo-
vine infesting tapeworms and round
worms. Books have been written
about the ailments of horses and
