| i { i i PAGE TWO 'HORSE-RADISH DOES NOT REPEL ENEMIES 'Pungent Qualities of Plant Do Not Discourage Bugs. [Entomologists Report New Pest In Form of European Webworm Which Also Attacks and In- Jures Turnips and Cabbage. {(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Even the pungent and tear-starting qualities of horse-radish are not suf- ficlent to discourage insect enemies. In addition to two other specific and ‘two incidental pests preying upon this plant, entomologists of the United States Department of Agriculture re- port a third specific enemy, known as the European horse-radish webworm and described in a bulletin of that ‘title, Department Bulletin No. 966, gust issued. The caterpillar, which does the most destruction, is of medium size and is also known as the purple backed ‘web-worm, ‘as well as by its regular Horse-Radish Root Showing Value of Deep Digging for Straight Roots— ' This Applies to All Root Vegetables. name. While favoring horse-radish, it 4s ‘also known to attack turnip and cabbage, and after feeding on the lower surface of the leaves sometimes rwebs them together near the ground ‘When abundant, it attacks the stalks ‘even down to the roots. It was firsi ‘discovered in injurious numbers in Vir ginia, near the District of Columbia 4n 1919, and occasional attacks have ibeen ‘noted In Massachusetts, New !York, New Jersey, and Wisconsin. The moth of the species is rather a bright ocher yellow, with a wing spread of about 1 inch, peculiarly spotted. The .eggs are deposited in compact masses ‘containing from half a dozen to & ‘score. They are a little brighter green than the leaf, and each egg is ,surrounded by an irregular ring of \yellow spots. The webworm may be controlled by ‘arsenicals and by hand-picking on 'horse-radish, and more readily on ‘other crops by fall and spring plow- \Ing and frequent cultivation. 'TEST SEEDS BEFORE SOWING !0f Big Advantage to Farmer to De- ! termine Purity and Germination 4 of Various Grains. Ny Whether the seed is for sale or for ‘bis own use on the farm, the farmer ‘will find it to his advantage to test ihis seed, or have it tested, for purity and germination. In making a purity test, according to the United States ‘Department of Agriculture, it is cus- tomary to determine the percentage of pure seed, inert matter such as dirt, chaff, and broken seeds, and foreign seeds, including weed and other kinds. A sample is taken varying in weight from 1 to 100 grams or more (a tea- spoon for the clovers and small-seeded grasses, a tablespoon for the grasses, and a considerably larger amount for cereal grains), depending upon the size of the seed being examined. For the germination test usually two lots of 100 seeds each are placed on or between blotting paper, cantorr flan- nel, or such material, and kept in a room or chamber at a temperature of 60 degrees to 80 degrees F. for 3 to 28 days, depending upon the kind of seed being tested. Samples for purity and germination tests may be sent to the seed labora- tory of the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C, or to the nearest branch seed labor- atory of the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C, or to the nearest branch seed laboratory located at Lafayette, Ind.; Celumbia, Mo.; College Station, Tex.; Corvallis, Ore. and Berkeley, Calif, PPUSHING ROAD CONSTRUCTION Marked Improvement in Economic Conditions for Highway Build- ing in United States.

SUBSORIBE FOR THE PIONEER SAFE MILK SUPPLY INSURED Suggested That Two or More Small Towns Hire Inspector and Main- tain Laboratery. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agricultare.) Milk inspection is of prime. neces- #ty. In most of the larger cities labor- atories are maintained where bacteria sounts and chemical analyses are fre- | quently made on samples collected from retail delivery wagons, stores, nd restaurants. But the small cities and towns that cannot afford the ex- pense of a tester and laboratory find it hard to give proper supervision to | their milk supplies. The United States Department of Agriculture suggests that a practical Cleanliness Is Essential to the Produo- tion of Milk of Low Bacterial Count. way for such cities and towns to In- sure a safe milk supply is through the co-operation of two-or more adjacent towns in hiring a milk Inspector and maintaining a laboratory, The cost of supervising such a plan may be pro- rated among the different towns on the basis of population without the expense being burdensome to any one of them. State and federal authoritles are always willing to co-operate In work of this sort. This plan of town co-operation In milk and dairy inspection has been carrled out Indifferent parts of the country, probably the most conspicu- ous example being the group of towns in northern New Jersey known as “The Oranges.” In these towns the plan has been in use for a number of years with results that have been very satisfactory to all concerned.

To avold the common condition that Industrial plants encounter of having to do business on a “residential basis,” denled large-scale facilities in their |, vicinity on account of protests by resi- dence owners, Alameda, Calif.,, with other cltles, has established industrial zones {n which no new permits to build residences will be granted. A lead- ing municipal engineer is quoted as saying that the prohibition of resi- dences In Industrial zones is one of the most important protections to put in a zoning ordinance. This method is being relied on to develop Hoboken, N. J.,, as a great Industrial terminal. In New Jersey it has been found that the unzoned suburban town Is at a distinct disadvantage as compared with the community protected by a zoning ordinance, People are asking themselves why they should invest money in a home or lend money on a mortgage In an unprotected, unzoned locality. The zoned towns are actual- ly absorbing the better grade of de- velopment. The result has been that builders, sxchitects and real-estate owners in unzoned towns persistently urge thelr local councils to adopt zoning, so that they may have as good a selling proposition to offer, prospec- tive clients as their competitors in the zoned towns, Information concerning zoning prog- ress in states and citles of the United States has been made available by the division of bullding and housing of the Department of Commerce at Wash- ington, D. C. A selected bibliography of zoning is issued by the division and may be obtained on application, School Gardens Popular in Hawaii.
