Tha heavy rains Of last week
END washed a good many gardens
into the creek-as the saving goes:
The injury to plants and the loss Oh
fertilizer Is to be regretted. How
ever, the packing of the soil by the
deluge makes early cultivation most
important If the plants remaining
are to survive and produce. Ine
soil around root crops Will need 10
be cultivated fairly deeply: around
the shallow-rooted crops the cui-
tivation should be shallow.
It Is time to start busting beans
to control the Mexican bean beetle.
Whether a dust or spray is used
depends upon the personal pref
erence Of the gardener. but which,
ever il is. be sure the material
coats the undersides of the leaves,
for that is where the beetle lives.
Early applications are preferred, for
# We are successful In controlling
the first beetles to emerge We are
likely to have fewer to fight during
the remainder OF the season. Use
rotenone or cryolite to control the
Mexican bean beetle. Lead arsenate
burns the bean foliage; DDT is not
effective.
II a gardener wishes to grow
parsnips he might try the English
systenl-punch holes in the ground
with crowbar. working it back
and forth until the hole is about 8
inches in diameter. Fill the hole
with compost and place three or
four seeds on top OF the frmly
packed material Cover with a
quarter to half inch of finely pull
verized compost. When the seeds
have sprouted and are growing well,
remove all but one.
Iris borers are leaving telltale
signs as they eat their way down
into the heart Of the leaves. This
is evident by the chewed-up. wa
terry appearing edges OF the leaves,
Where this Is evident grasp the
leaves between the thumb and
forefnger and pull up, squeezing the
leaves firmly enough to crush the
worm.

Chrysanthemums not already

one fourth to stimulate branching
This job normally should be done

Hornless Swiss Cattle Lauded
Virsinian Is Breeding Dairy Animals
With Valued New Characteristics

In addition to the high milk pro-
duction, the Swiss calves are heavy
boned and will weigh near 100
pounds few days after birth. This
means that the calves sold for veal
bring In more money than calves
Of other dairy breeds. Most calves
sold from dairy herds are sold for
veal.
Salvage Value Is High.
When cows are culled, too, the
salvage value for Brown Swiss is
higher than for other, lighter breeds
It think the records show that
about three out of every five heifers
turn into good milk producers" Mr.
Strickler said. This means that
the average dairyman will have to
sell two of every five prospective
mixers.
The heavier cows naturally will
bring the better prices on the beet
market. AS long as the Swiss are
good mixers. that extra weight is
just better protection. You know
you are going to get the maximum
salvage value
To show you what he means about
the Brown Swiss, Mr.. Strickler will
tell the story about the COW that
was owned by q family in Swift
zerland.
"She went along for Is years, pro-
ducing a calf each year and milk
for the family. Each spring she
pulled the plow and each fall she
was hitched to the wagon to help
harvest the crops.
Finally, after Is years, she was
carted of to the slaughter house
Her carcass dressed out SO well that
she was sold for baby beef
That's shows why you can't beat
the Brown Swiss

5 Billions in Grass

Agriculturists recently declared
the American grass crop last year
was worth more than 5000, ,0O0. 900.
The total was arrived at by at
tributing to grass IS per cent Of the
value Of beef, 80 per cent of the
value of sheep and so per cent OF
the value of dairy products.
While In the past, it was stated,
farmers have given comparatively
little consideration to grass, it now
