University Farm nutritionists are offering a simple method of keeping that color in the food. Precooking any green vegetable at a low temperature, just below the simmering point, will "set’’ or hold the color. Previously, canning directions advised precooking at the boiling temperature, but I for the sake of color and freshness says Miss Inez M. Homart, Minne-

Graashoppers Always Hungry DESTROY GRASSHOPPERS with i/ ■ POISQbJED ' A fl Z << hatch in ’ from laidin'X Vground the previous fall or late summer Although the great grasshopper plagues of North America occur in Western Canada and in the United States west of the Mississippi River, they are annual pests of importance in some parts of Indiana, and 1937 will perhaps witness one of the worst grasshopper outbreaks in years, according to entomologists at Purdue University. The infestations will be scattered throughout the state with greatest concentrations along the western side of the state and to a lesser degree in northern counties. The accompanying illustration shows some of the characteristics of common grasshoppers: eggs are laid in the soil of clover, grassy and weedy fields in the fall; the young hatch the last of May or early June and feed on green vegetation, especially clover and alfalfa; later the hoppers migrate to corn and other crops and when abundant may eat the fruits of trees and gnaw the bark of woody plants. The most effective control, under all conditions, is broadcasting of poison bran bait. When this poison bait is broadcasted, there is no danger to birds or other domestic or wild life.

sota University Farm extension | nutritionist, precooking at a temperature of only about 170 degrees Fahrenheit is better. For spinach and .other greens precooking only until the leaves wilt, and then packing immediate-' ly in jars and cans is best. As for green beans, best come trom precooking until the beans bend without breaking. Young tender garden peas require about S minutes of the low temperature' precook. When making use of the precooked. the hot-pack method of canning is referred to, states Miss Hobart, for this method is looked. upon as the safest and best canning vegetables. In this process, the vegetables are cooked a short time in a saucepan with water and then are packed hot into hot containers. Precobkfn g aldo does these three things: first, it drives the air out of the Vegetables; second, it wilts or shrinks the vegetables sp that they pack, well; third, it gives the vegetab-j. les a high temperature at the start; of the processing necessary to ere-' ate a good vacuum in the contain-' «

ARMY WORMS ! COUNTY THREAT Corn Fields, Vegetation Are Endangered By Insects I ■ - •O. E. Lehker, entomologist of Purdue University, states that If the weather'Toniiitid!*; are right, we may have an outbreak of army worms in Adams County. The army worm infestation started in , Posey County a few weeks ago and they have been reported as far north as Benton County and as far east as Shelby County. The army worm hatches out in timothy fields and when they have exhaust ten the feed supply, they begin marching. Key are voracious feeders and strip the corn fields as ; they move or any other vegetation •Hit they come in contact with. It is found that they are con- ■ trolled by using a bran bait poison i and if they are baited while still I in the timothy fields, their damage can be held to a minimum and j can be controlled very cheaply. County Agent Archbold suggests that farmers be on the lookout in their timothy fields for the next week or two for army worms and if found, he would appreciate a re-' I port. The following is a formula for preparing bran bait and is enough to bait two acres tor either army worms, grass hoppers, or cut .worms. It should be spread late I in the afternoon for the control j of army worms and cut worms and ! early in the morning for the conj trol of grasshoppers. i Bran 25 pounds ' Paris green 1 pound j Cheap, strong molasses — 2 qts. ' Water 3 gallons The poison and bran are thoroughly mixed; the molasses is diluted with the water, and then the poisoned bran is dampened with the diluted mc-lasses to form a damp wash which will break into small particles when broadcasted. o Trade In a Good Town —Decatur.

LEGUMES MAY BE GOOD HAY CROPS Care Required In Preparing Legumes For Hay Shortage of hay crops in 1937 will induce many farmers with good stands of sweet clover to cut this legume for hay, although it is not generally regarded as a satisfactory hay crop. Inexperienced growers usually delay cutting until the plants are blossoming, and the resulting hay is woody and leafless. Early June cutting just before blossoming is necessary to produce hay or even fair quality. Low cutting is likely to kill the stand, for, unlike alfalfa, all recovery growth.' "inust come from buds and green shoots along the stubble. Growers should cut high enough to leave live branches below the cutter bar or no second growth will develop for pasture, teed or soil improvement. Stubble on dense tall growing sweet clover may have to be tefi or mflre inches high. Curing is another problem, as the large succulent plants cure slowly, and if not properly cured, moldy sweet clover may result Such hay may spoil in the mow. and in any case sweet clover hay fed with no other roughage may cause the blood of farm animals to lose Its clotting power, and death may result. Spring sown sweet clover cut for hay in the late fall is much more satisfactory except for the difficulty of curing it in the late fall. It is much like alfalfa in quality. Fall cutting however, reduces the growth of the following spring, and if cut during September, or early October, serious damage to the stand may result. -o * • Test Your Knowledge | Can you answer seven of these ten questions 1 Turn to page I Four for the answers. 1.

You find the farm RUT when you have picked the one you want and it comes to financing it, let the Federal Land Bank help you. The bank opens the door to farm ownership by providing loans through this association up to 75% of the normal agricultural value of the farm. First and second mortgage loans are made at interest rates of 4 and 5 per cent a year. If your cash investment in the farm is enough so that a loan equal to as much as 75% of the appraised normal value will supply the balance of the purchase price, the man who sells the farm is paid cash in fulL The Adams County National Farm Loan Association of Decatur, Ind. 133 South Second Street E.
