possible, but not probable. The
grub usually moves down in the
soil during winter, and only a
severe deep freeze would af-
feet them. l don't think last
winters temperatures were low
enough to kill the grubs which
lay deep in the soil.
This is the time of year when
people begin seeing the prey
ing mantids. Actually, these in
sects have been around since
early May but they have been so
small as to be unnoticed. Now
they are large enough to attract
attention. Many people feel that
mantids do a fabulous Job Of
controlling other insect pests.
Actually, they play a minor role
in this way. Smaller, less con-
spicuous insects such as
tachinid flies, braconid wasps,
spiders and others do a much
more effective job than the man
tids. One Of the favorite meals
Of a mantid is our friend, the
honey bee so, you see, the
mantid "isn't all he's cracked
up to be-. There is a popular
belief that its against the law
to collect or kill a preying man
It'd. This is not true. You may
add them to an insect collection
at any time without breaking any
laws.

faster rate. The hot dry weather
reduces the action Of predators

I have had a severe infesta-

Colds are literally crawling with
two spotted spider mites. In
fact, thousands of the mites have
piled up on top Of each other
on my marigolds so that there
are little balls Of them to be
seen on the tips of leaves. When
you consider the size Of an in
dividual mite, you know how
many there must be to form a
conspicuous ball at the tip Of a
leaf.
To control mites on food
plants, use Kelthane or tedion.
On ornamental plants use Kel-
thane, tedion, or ovex. In all
cases, follow directions on the
label. People often use mala-
thion for mite control, but it
is not a good material for mites.
In fact, I've seen some apple
trees where use of malathion
was responsible for a mite out
break.
The japanese beetle also
seems to have been affected by
the hot dry weather. In this
case, the weather has favored
US, not the Japanese beetle. Ap-
parently the soil became so dry
and grass land had turned as
brown that the grubs Of the
japanese beetle were unable to
complete development. Regard
less Of what happened, we are
all pleased that there are SO
few japanese beetles this year.
Perhaps there also has been
some effect from the milky dis

in New Castle County. Som G
people feel that the cold winter
destroyed many Of the Japanese

Speaking OF Insects

Delaware's hot, dry, summer
seems to have affected several
species of insects quite a bit.
Such weather usually is as
sociated with mite-outbreaks. In
nv weekly Extension trip

fields of lima beans where mites
had nearly ruined the crop.
Their feeding activity turns
leaves and pods of lima beans
to rusty red, and causes many

SubsOil Moisture
In SafflOwer Area
Reported Excellent

Subsoil moisture in the over
all safflower growing area is
the best it has been since Pac-
ific Vegetable Oil came into
Eastern Montana and the West
ern Dakotas. This makes the
prospects for safflower pro-
auction in 1868 the brightest
ever. Safflower with its deep
tap root will utilize this mois-
ture better than other small
grains.

comes of increasing Importance

Plenty of acres are still avail
able. There isn't any govern
ment restrictions and safflower

Werted acres.

will restore the color if the
suede becomes dis-colored.
Hang suede garments on
padded hangers in a cool clos
ct. Don't cover with a plastic
bag, since heat and lack Of
circulation will dry out the
leather and make it hard and
brittle.
The garment can be pressed
at home with a warm dry iron
if heavy brown paper is used
between the iron and the
leather.
If you get caught in the rain,
let the suede dry naturally at

Will A Hog Enterprise Paw?

Have you ever considered a
hos enterprise as an alterna-
tive to selling barley as a cash
crop? 1t has been estimated
that if the market price for
hogs is $1,000 per cwt, the val
ue of your barley would be
SLIT per bushel fed based on
the following data:
l. Overhead charge per hog
is equal to $500 per cwt of
hog produced.
2. 900 pounds of barley re-
quired to produce a 200 pound
hog.
In times of high barley
prices the value of the hog in
the farm economy is often not
appreciated, but when prices
decline, this class of livestock
shows a lot of promise.
The average farmer who
makes hog raising a part of
his regular program over a
period of years will find this
enterprise profitable. The in
dividual who attempts to run
pigs on the in and out viii
likely to be in when he should
he out and out when he should
be in and thus experience some
disappointing results.
However good the hog raising
picture may look, it must be
kept in mind that success in
hog raising depends upon the
use of the right breeding stock
together with good feeding and
management methods.
Artificial dissemination School
An artificial dissemination
school will be held at Montana
State College, March 1929, for

There will be a registration

agencies and plan the ACP
practices that will be most
adaptable for Richland County.
The County Committee, after
reviewing past years programs
and needs, apportion the allo-
cation accordingly.
S24, 707.16 were paid on TIT
farms for diverting barley,
S43,472.45 for corn and 1884,
584.72 for wheat. This removed
25, 763.6 acres from production
in Richland County in 1862.
Farmers will again have the
chance to sign up to divert
acreages from these crops, be-
ginning February l to March
%. Price support will be
available if the producer stays
within his allotment. An adj
ditional .18 per bushel will be
made on wheat acres planted
plus a diversion payment of
500 of the county support for
those who fill out their inten-
ton to participate. This Feed
Grain Program and the Wheat
Sterilization Program have
helped accomplish some results
that have been the aim of the
Agriculture Department for
years, that is, the reduction of
the wheat and grain surplus
in the US.
The Conservation Program
has aided in these results also.
38,469.2 acres in Richland
County have been reserved in
the Soil Bank for at least 5
years with the payment
amounting to S349, 581.78. This
year, 10 contracts will be ter
minating but the County Of
flee has been advised of a pro-
gram whereby these farmers
may continue the diversion of
this land in 1868.

cation Program are worked
closely together. The latter
program is the diversion of
wheat acres under allotment to

part OF the farmers, the County
and Community Committee
men and the office personnel.
Enough there is much to be
oeSlred in the accomplishments,
we feel that the people of
hlchland County can look with
pride at the many activities
Which have taken place in this
area that have helped build bet
ter conservation practices, bet
ter permanent structures that
conserve the natural resources
and a better understanding of
the purposes of the additional
activities of the agricultural
program. Portions of this pro-
gram was made available by
Congress under the Agricultur-
al Act of 1861 and the Food
and Agriculture Act of 1862.
Both of these laws provided
programs that encouraged the
diversion of reproduction of
wheat, barley and corn to con-
serving uses.
The entire ALLEGATION of
SIP, 9O5.00 was used IN ACP
and Richland County has bene-
fitted by the addition of 81
wells, 9 dams, 80 acres of
leveling, permanent grass
planting by IA farmers, besides
numerous other conserving
practices. And though there
were more applicants for diff
ferent practices in 1852, they
could not be helped because
of lack of funds It is suggested
that applicants come early IN
the first part of the signup
period so the County Commit
tice can have a chance to uti-
lie these funds to the best ad-

Care of Suede Clothing
Suede clothing is increasing
in popularity, and to get the
most from your money, suede
must be given proper care.
If care is taken, the gar
ments shouldn't need to be
cleaned more than once a year.
Protect it by wearing a scarf
to keep the collar clean. Brush
or sponge the leather with a
specially treated sponge after
each wearing to keep the nap
soft and to clean minor spots.
Leather garments, such as
suede, should be cleaned by
cleaners who specialize in hand
ling feathers.
When using a brush or sponge
on suede, use a circular motion.
