CUTWORMSHARD ON CORN CROP L I Cutworms Among The t Hardest Insects On ' Corn Crop i Os all the insects that may at- t tack tile corn crop at some stage ( in its development the cutworms , are among the most important. ( Some questions that arise in the , mind of every grower as corn , planting time approaches are: (1) What are the chances that fields to be planted will have cutworms in sufficient abundance to cause serious loss; and (2), if the worms are abundant, how can the probable damage be reduced to a minii mum? According to L. L. Huber, Associate Entomologist at the Ohio Ex- 1 periment Station, little or no loss may be expected when corn follows j some legume, such as alfalfa or • [t lover. Cutworms are grass insects. 1 1 it is for this reason that corn is • | often seriously injured when it ‘ follows timothy, bluegrass, wheat, ' or oats, or some combination of the grasses and legumes. When corn must follow a grass 1 | crop, as is often the case, the grow- ’ l er may well afford to exercise a certain degree of caution. At plant- 1 i ing time a careful examination of ’ I the top soil may give some idea a„ ' iio whether any worms are present. 1 I After the corn begins to come i through the ground and for sever- 1 ■ a! days there-after the field should 1 , lie observed for injured plant, if 1 serious losses are indicated, poisoned bran mash should be applied j immediately. The mash is made as follows: • Thoroughly mix together 5 pounds of bran 1-4 pound of Paris green, in a separate container mix togeth er two lemons ground fine, 1 pint of cheap syrup, and 3 quarts of,' water. Combine the two mixtures' and scatter broadcast in the early evening over 1 acre of the crop to be protected.

SHOW TO GIVE EXPLANATIONS OF 4-H WORK; t ' I Elaborate Entertainment < Will Be Presented Here June 2 One of the most complete and elaborate 4-H club entertainment | units ever developed will be made ; available to the people of this j county on Tuesday, June 2. County ( Agent Archbold announced today. The show consists of two and a < half hours of talking pictures, the | feature of which is the dramatized , all-talking version of the famous ( novel, “Under the 4-H Flag." The program will include in addition , to the feature picture a 4-H news- • reel, an educational short called < 'Hidden Values" and a cartoon j tomedy. ; The show will be held at the De- < jatur high school gymnasium and < vill start at 7 o'clock in the even- i ng. 1 Admission will be free and there 1 will he no collection of any kind 1 taken at the show, Mr. Archbold ’ declared. Its purpose is to stimul- ' ite interest in the aims and aspirations of the 4-H movement and to give its members, their families ' and friends and all others interest- ■ ed in agriculture a real treat in the ’ way of high grade entertainment. 1 This county's 4-H organization 1 will have an opportunity to par ' ticipate in an attendance contest 1 whose awards amount to $2,000, 1 Mr. Archbold said. The award of prizes will be made on the basis 1 of the proportion of the county’s rural population that attends the ' showing. All counties in the coun- 1 try in which tlie picture will be ' shown will participate in the contest and the county winning first prize will get a check for $1,000; which is to be devoted to 4-H activities. — o * ♦ ' I Latest News Os 4-H Activities

Tells Os Trip To Purdue University 4-H Club Roundup

(Editor's note: This story was written by Beatrice Mathys, one of of the members of the Adams county 4-H clubs. Last week she made a trip to Purdue University with a number of other outstanding - club members. The following account of her trip was written by Miss Mathys.) The Eighteenth annual 4-H Club Round-Up which was held May 6, 7, 8 at Purdue, was one of the most interesting 4-H activities 1 have ever attended Three girls and six boys represented our county at the Round-Up and were chaperoned by Mrs. Helen E. Mann and Mr. Merwin Miller. * On our arrival at Lafayette Wednesday moru 1 n g we registered. That afternoon we saw the Demonstration contest which was held tn the Home Economics Building and later attended the tea and open house at the Women's Resid-1 ence Hall. All out-of-town fresh-1 men girls who can, must live in I this hall, and at the present tlnie| over seven hundred arc living.' there. The Residence Hall is one of the newest and most beautiful buildings on the campus. It has been in use only the last two years. We attended open house Wednesday evening and visited the Schools of Engineering, Science and Pharmacy. The school of Pharmacy was the most interesting to me. Here we saw the action of different drugs and narcotics upon miccLTrbgs. fish, and worms. They demonstrated the making of pills, which were flavored with sassa- ■ fras and peppermint. Thursday morning wc visited, the Soldiers’ Home and the battle ground. Here we saw a large memorial in memory of the soldiers who lost their lives there, and one of the cannons used in the battle. Music Program That aftrnoon wc visited the! er, secretary; Miriam Hoffman, 'song and yell leader; andTfarjorie . Dilling, news reporter. The club decided to meet every two weeks with the leader. Miss Leona Peck. The next meeting will be held May 23. The following members were. present: Norms Werling, Erna , Bultemeier, Eldora Scheuler, Aneta Stolp, Dorothy Werling, Har-, riot Miller. Miriam Hoffman, and Marjorie Dilling. The Kirkland 4-H Club girls met last Tuesday with their leader, Mrs. Win. Griffiths. The following offi-

More good new* for the fanner* in this territory i» seen in the recently released government figure* on the procMsing of soybean*. This industry has expanded so rapidly that more soy beans were crushed the first six months of the current season than were processed during the entire 12 month* of the 1934-35 period. Thi* information is highly encouraging to the growers of soy bean* a* some concern wa* expressed last summer that the increased soy bean acreage would produce a crop too large tn be absorbed but the reverse ha* proven true. Processing ■ plants operating in the Indiana and Ohio area bought more than half #f their beans in Illinois. Thi* gives cve{y indication that Indiana and Ohio can thresh twice the quantity of beans in 1936 that they did in 1935 and still find a ready market for them. i The first six month* of the current season saw 13,040,700 bushels of soy beans processed as compared with only 9,091,000 bushels for the entire twelve months of the previous season. At (hi* rate over 26,000,000 bushels will be crushed this year. Soy bean oilmeal produced in 1934-35 was 221,750 tons while the first six month* this season resulted in 314.000 tons but the surprising fact is the slock of meal on hand March 31, 1936 was

Horticulture Building and green houses. Smith Hall, and the Agricultural Building. Later in the day a very interesting program was I given by H. Irwin Metzger, who gave an organ prelude. We also enjoyed music by the Purdue Glee Club at Eliza Fowler Hall. Thursday evening we visited the airport. The university has several open planes and one ten passenger transport plane. Students were trying to fly a glider while we were there, but they had some trouble with their cable, so we didn't see it go up. Later that evening we went to the Livestock Judging Pavilion where we heard a program by the University's Military Band, and saw the Purdue Livestock Revue given by the Purdue Animal Husbandry and Dairy clubs. Friday we attended the programs in Eliza Fowler Hall and saw the Health Contest winners receive | their ribbons and medals. 4-H Club Banquet Friday evening the Girl's 4-H [Club banquet was held at the Union Building. Professor Mary L. Matthew, dean of the School of Home Economics, gave an interesting talk and suggested four additional "H's” — Habits, Helpfulness, Happiness, and Handicraft. At this banquet medals were given to the demonstration and judging contest winners. After the banquet another program was given at Eliza Fowler Hall, it was made up by members of the 4-H Club. They presented European and American folk dances. j We left for home after the Fowler Hall program Friday uight and were a tired group when we arrived. I J have appreciated this trip to the 4-H Round-Up very much and wish to thank all who made it possible i for me. BEATRICE MATHYS leers were elected; President, Mary Margaret Henschen: vice-president, Nadine Barger; secretary-treasur-er, Della Bieberich; song leader.

(U.R) — A grandfather clock which lias been in the family of Oliver Farwell, Lake Linden, Mich., for 143 yews, still keeps accurate time.

447 tons less than a year ago despits the increased production. This shows a vastly increasing demand for the meal and consequently for the beans which means when the usual amount of seed beans is used there will be no carry-over. These figures show the rapidly increasing demand for soy beans with the resulting opportunity to fanners to reap added profits from this new important cash crop. Inoculated soy beans pull nitrogen from the air into the soil and are considered an easy crop to grow. They seem to flourish equally well under conditions of drought or excessive moisture and are exceptionally immune to insect peats. The crop can be bandied with very little labor and the adverse weather of last Fall and Winter demonstrated that no other crop could be left in the fields and still ho harvested as late as April. Much of the abandoned wheat acreage is being planted to soy beans which can be sown successfully until late in June. With these factors in favor and non< -. hl the soy bean it is easy to understand the growing popularity of this cro,” which can he planted as n emergeney hay or forage crop f < j n the other hays develop satisfactorily can be threshed I and sold for cash.

SEVERE WINTER WEATHER EFFECT Severe Cold Causes Abandonment Os Indiana Wheat Acreage Lafayette, Ind., May 15—Effects of the severe weather of last winter on Indiana's wheat crop was revealed here today with the statements by M. M. Justin, head of the department of statistics of the Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station and the U. S. Department of Agriculture, that 11 per cent of the acreage sown to wheat last fall had been abandoned and that which remained showed a condition of 69 per ent of normal. This is one point below last month and 12 points below the ten year average. Hessian fly damage also has been heavy in some areas. A yield of 14 bushels per acre producing 24,038,000 bushels is the present forecast which may be I compared to last year's figure' of 38,458,000 bushels and the five| year average of 26,279,000. The acreage seeded last fall was 1,929,000, somewhat larger than usual, but only 1,717,000 is left for harvest this year, Justin's figures indicate. The acreage seeded to rye last fall was 211,000 but only 127,000 acres, or 60 per cent remained for harvest. Tliis acreage is 78,000 less than was harvsted last year. Condition of the crop on May 1 was reported as 78 per cent normal a gainst 87 a year ago. A yield of 11.5 bushels per acre is anticipat-1 ed, producing 1,460,000 bushels. 1 Stocks of hay on farms were reported to be 28 per cent of last year's crop which meant 445,000 [ ; tons. A year ago this estimate was 1 for only 217,000 tons, and the five year average was 326,000 tons. Condition of tame hay was reported on May 1 as 76 per cent of normal, the same as a year ago, but three points below the ten year average. April weather which was colder and drier than usual have meadows a slow and late start. The poor April weather also was reflected in the pasture, condition which was reported as 70 per cent of normal or eight points below ' last year an dseven points below the nine year average. The average number of baby chicks and young chickens on farms, reported ‘ below ■ a, month ago, has jumped io an av-1 erage of 149 per farm, against an I average of 146 a year ago. RULES LISTED FOR CONTEST I Recommendation* In Cloverleaf Content Arc Announced Additional recommendations in the Cloverleaf herd improvement contest were announced today by Roy 1 ■ who lias charge of the program. The 10 dairymen making the best records will be named on a county roll of honor and be given medals at the conclusion of the year. Previously yearly herd records, healthy herd programs and quality improvement were discussed on the farm Today Mr. Price gave recommendations for the yearly home grown feed budget and a breeding progrum. Home Grown Feed (See Purdue Bulletin, No. 171, Legumes in Dairy Ration) For each cow in the herd, dairymen should produce annually,— 2 tons of. legume hay, or I ton legume hay unci 3 tons silage 20 bushels corn 20 bushel oats b bushel soy beans 180 days productive pasture. The following program is suggested for each cow and half as much for each heifer over 12 monthw of age: April—2 acres Blue Grass or 1 acre rye, or wheat. May -2 acres Blue Grass or 1 acre oats, or sweet clover. June—2 acres Blue Grass or 1 apro sweet clover, or alialfa. July 2 acres Blue Grass plus 14 acre sweet clover, alfalfa or Sudan Gra< or 1 acre Sudan Grass, sweet clover. August I acre Sudan Grass or Alfalfa. September—l acre Sudan Grass*, 1 acre Alfalfa or 2 acres Springsown sweet clover. October —2 acres Blue Grass or 1 acre rye, spring-sown sweet clov-

er. or old alfalfa fields. November —2 acres Blue Grass, or 1 acre rye or wheat. *N. B. Do not pasture Sudan Grass after frost. Breeding Program 1. Herd must be bred to a regist j ered dairy sire. Recommend use of a meritorious sire ffl daughters,' each with records of 300 pounds 01 butterfat or more) or the sou of such a sire from a dam with a 400. pound buttenat record. 2. Every bull of breeding age should be kept separate from fe- 1 males. The use of a bull pen is strongly recommended. 3. Service and calving dates must be kept for each cow in herd. 4. Herd replacements must be made from herd as far as possibTb. 1 o 4-H CLUBS HERE ’ ARE ORGANIZED — i 4-H Clubs In Adams County Are Organized For Summer The 4-H clubs have been organiz- 1 ed for the summer activities in Adams county.
