Not | 'Conirol Webworms in Corn by i Cultural Methods. 'After Crop s Once Planted and Field Is Found to Be Infested There Is No Practicable Way of. Getting Rid of Them. ‘(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Outbreaks of webworms in corn. in |. the Middle Eastern states can be pre- ‘vented only by cultural methods, ac- cording to the bureau of entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture. Unlike most of our de- structive pests, the: various species of webworms are all natives of Amer jea and have not been introduced frqm- foreign lands. ' Summer or very early fall plowing 'shonld be-practiced. Plowing in late October or November has little effect ‘because the worms are already in ‘their winter webs under the surface ‘of the ground. Land that has been in sod or pasture, or lain fallow and ‘grown up to weeds and grass should be plowed. in July or August, if it is intended to, plant -it to corn the fol- Towing spring. Grasslands of all kinds—meadows, pastures, or lawns—furnish the nor- mal food of sod webworms, but they also gnaw young corn planis below the surface and deform them so as to prevent the production of grain. ‘After the corn is once planted and the field is found to be infested there is no practicable method of getting rid of the worms; the only thing that can be done is to produce conditions ‘that will permit the corn to grow in spite of them. o Disking in the spring, the application of fertilizer, and the sowing of sound ‘zeed are' the chief preventive meas- wres that will have any effect. Nei- jther poisoning nor trapping has met ‘with any sutcess. 'KEEP WEEDS OUT OF GARDEN ;with Few Pieces of Flat lron and an Old Wheel an Efficient Tool Can Be Made. { From a few pieces of flat iron, such las old buggy tires; and a wheel that . lcan be taken from an old ‘wheelbarrow jor truck, it is possible to make an ef- ificient weeder for keeping the home lgarden free from weeds. % : The device i§ constructed, as indi- ‘cated by the drawing, a_bla mobile has tion of gasoline instant use. is maintained ata Petroleum and Independence SAYS the Chicago Tribune, “The auto- people to take care of themselves— America’s streets and roads. are filled with motor cars because—the American- in his own car feels the independence of going where he pleases and when he pleases.” The effective use of automotive power de- pends upon an adequate supply and efficient distribution of gasoline and other petroleum products. The users .of.automobiles and motor trucks of the Middle West would find themselves seriously handicapped were it not for the practically universal distribu-, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). This distribution system is continually growing, expanding, and penetrating new corners of the 10 states served by the Company. The number of automobiles in the United States increased 13%. during the first six months of 1922 over 1921. in the states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) during the past two years was over 36%. fair idea of the rate of increase of distribu~ tion facilities required of this Company. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) ex- pands in proportion to the increasing needs of the people it serves. It maintains 3973 bulk stations, so located as to.assure rapid distribution of gasoline and oils, The num- ber of these stations is promptly increased as the need for them arises. It maintains 1605 service stations, situated with a view to the convenience of the motoring public. It maintains throughout the 7167 tank wagons, which serve the farmer at regular intervals, enabling him to keep his truck, tractor, or motor car ready for This efficient service of pstroleum products ness under all conditions and is the domi- nant factor in assuring the independence of the motorist of the Middle West.

L. Meller, Fargo, N. D., in Popular Mechanles Magazine, GREEN MANURING AIDS SOIL Really One of Oldest Methods— Crops-for This Purpose Were: Used by Ancients. Green manuring—plowing under .green crops—as a means ‘of soil im- provement, although it’ has: been em- phasized in recent years, can hardly be called a new discovery, says the United States Department ‘of - Agricul- ture. It is really one-of the oldest methods. Crops for this.purpose were used by the ancients, the Romans us- ing lupines, which were sown in Sep- “tember and turned under in May for the benefit of the following crop. In Germany the use of lupines be- gan in the middle of the Nineteenth :century and has proved an important ifactor in reclaiming the sandy lands of parts.:of Prussia.. In England legumes and other plants are com- monly used; in India and Japan the ‘farmers gather green plants of many ;kinds, sometimes’ even cutting twigs rom the trees and carrying them to ;the rice fields. In the TUnited States the use of ‘special green-manure crops is mnch !more general in the South than in the {North. Under irrigation they play ¢n j.important part in orchard culture in 'ithe West, but not under dry-farming - conditions.

A net increase of 14.5 per cent in he number of young pigs produced shown in a special plg survey just tompleted by the United States De- partmept of Agriculture. This in- trease may -overcome the present shortage of meat stocks, the depart- ment. states. i The survey shows a gross increase of 228 per cent in the number of spring litters this year as compared with the number of litters born last spring, but the average number of pigs saved per lMtter is 7 per cent less than last spring. The April 1 brood sow report of the department indieat- ®d a net increase of 15.6 per cent in pig production this spring over last .vear. AN | The department points out that stocks of .pork products other than lard in storage May 1 are 33 per cent ‘ess than the five-year average and 26 per cent less than a year ago.

Stocks of other meats are correspondingly low, ' 1t is alse pointed out that the sur- vey covers numbers of hogs and not weight. The rccords show that the laverage weight of hogs marketed has ‘varied as much as 384 per cent. or from 193 to 262 pounds, during the, past five years. . Many produeers have found it profitable to market their hogs early at light weight before the usual run of heavy hogs later, the de- partment says. 3 It farmers carry out their expressed Intentions with respect to breeding for fall farrowings the total number of sows expected to farrow for the year, including’ spring and fall farrowings, will ‘be 28 per cent-larger than lust year. The survey indicates a prospective {ncrease of 49 per cent in the fall far- rowings in these states over last year.

If the number of pigs saved per litter is as low- as this spring, however, the pros- pective increase in -pumber of pigs next fa)l -will.-be' materlally reduced. The averagé number of pigs saved per litter, as reported for this spring, is 5.66 pigs, compared with 6.1 pigs last spring and 5.9 pigs last fall. Smaller Increases in: East and South. The” survey In Pennsylvania, New York and Maryland shows an Increase of only 5 per cent in the number of litters for the, first half of the year, while the total number of pigs saved shows . decrease of 3 per cent from a year ago. The numiber of sows bred for fall farrowing shows an increase of 23 per cent over,the number, of sows which farrowed last fall. A ‘total in- crease of T4:pér cent'in the numbern of litters for the’year 1§ Indicated pro- vided the intentions of farmers to pro- duce ‘fall pigs are carried out. In the Soythern states, including Georgia, ‘Alabfma and Mississipp!, an increase of 5-per cent in the number of spring litters is reported, but the total' number -of .pigs .saved is.the same as last year on account of the smaller’ nuniber of ‘pigs saved per Tit- ter. .These Southern states slow an increase of 27 per/cent in the number of sows- intended to be bred for fall farrowing .over-dst yedri with a total prospective.increase of 11 per cent in the number of litters for the year. The suevedi is . based .upon -about 200,000 schedulées xecelved. from farm- ers in.the Corn: Belt states, which produce about 70 perxcent of the plus in the United States, and from farmers 'in- the eastern and. southern states. The schedules were distributed by rural ‘mail carriers to 15 farmers on each rural mafl-delivery route. It is planned to make & ‘Elmilar survey in" about six montbs which. will. be used a8 a check on' ihie department’s estimate, and -also indicate the num- ber of pigs to be. produced in the spring of 1928 The. figures in_ the present survey are given below.

COVERS WHEN DRIED Liable to More or Less Damage Through Moisture. Heavy Pieces Should Be Stretched Over Beam or Large Horizontal Pole—Will Last Much Longer if Waterproofed. (Prepared by the United States Departi of Agriculture.) s Canvas and duck wagon and crop covers and canvas bags are liable to damage through moisture, causing subsequent mildew or rotting unless they are dried before being stored, says the bureau of chemistry of the United States Department of Agricul-’ ture. Capvus which has become wet or even damp should be dried as soon a8 possible by being spread over a wagon or hung over a fence or lurge pole until it is thoroughly dry. If the weather is wet, it may be hung under a shed or in, the.barn. No can- vas bags, ete, should be- folded or stored while damp. i Folding of a heavy canvas, especial- Iy if it has been stiffened by a water- proofing treatment or by being wet or frozen, may weaken .or crack the 2934 fabric, causing it to leak. For this reason, heavy canvag when not in use should hang over a beam or large horizontal polg, or should be suspend- ed against the Inside of a barn or shed rather than folded. Canvas and duck will give better service and last longer if waterproofed. The United States Department of Agriculture, in Farmers’ Bulletin 1157, gives tull di- regtions for \ug‘e%ro ofing and mildew- proofing *cotton”-duck.” The bulletin may be had frée on application. PRODUCING CERTIFIED SEED Many Potato Growers Will Be Dis- appointed . Because of Raise In Requirements. Probably -as a result of the better price received”last year for certified seed stock, Maine potato growerg this year have listed more than 3,300 acres for inspection. of representatives of | the State Department of Agriculture. Many of these growers will be disap- | pointed, liowever, because they have started with stock of no particular | merit. Over a series of years an average of 47 per cent of the entrles | passed the seed-certification require- ments, but this year the percentage will probably be lower. The mosaic standard has been ralsed. This year a fleld having as much as 5 per cent of mosafe disease is dizqualified for producing certified seed. - The - best stock grown now. is-that from strains imported from the Canadian -provinces within' the:last few years.
