Important That Pest C3 C!:::vcrcd Before Crcps IIcvo C;:.i Seriously Dam:J. Grass cr Grain Should Be Carefully Inspected to Detect Presence cf Caterpillars Poisoned Baits May Bo Used. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Watchfulness is the key to success in cases of invasion by army worms, which are young of certain moths or millers that fly only at night. The eggs from which the array worms hatch, are laid commonly on grasses or grasslike grains and the tiny caterpillars, upon hatching, feed for several days near the ground, hidden by overhanging' grasses or grains and thus may escape notice until nearly full grown, hy which time they have become widely distributed over the infested fields. Upon the discovery of the pest in Its younger stages depends very largely the possibility of stamping out infestations before serious injury to crops has occurred. Meadows therefore should he examined frequently, particularly those planted to timothy, bluegrass, wheat, and especially millet, to discover the young worms. If the infested spot be small, the gra.s or grain can be mowed off and straw scattered over the spot and burned, thus destroying the worms. If the caterpillars have become distributed over a considerable area, this can be marked off by rfcikes and the crop sprayed heavily with a solution of paris green at the rate of one pound to GO gallons of water, or of arsenate of lead at the rate of two pounds of the paste or one pound of the powder to T0 gallons of water. Poisoned Baits for the Army Worm. Poisoned baits have long been used as a means of destroying the numerous species of cutworms and also the army worm. An efficient bait of this kind may be prepared and used as follows : To o0 pounds of wheat bratx and one pound of paris green or twA pounds of powdered arsenate of lea " add the juice of one-half dozen o anges or lemons. Then bring th. vv , i . ' " - v -y r - -' - i Stages and work of the true army worm (Cirphis unipuncta) and some of its Insect enemies; a, parent cr moth; b, full-grown larva; c, eggs; d, pupa in soil; e, parasitic fly, Winthemia quadripustulata, laying its eggs on an army worm; f, a ground beetle, Calosoma calidum, preying upon an army worm, and, at right, Calosoma larva emerging from burrow; g, a digger wasp, Sphex sp., carrying an army worm ts its burrow; h, Enicospilus purgatus, a wasplike parasite of the army worm. mass to a stiff ilouuh by adding lowgrade nolasses or sirup, preferably molasses, and scatter the mixture broadcast in small, pieces throughout the infested Held. In case the- worms are not discovered until they have begun to travel in a mass, usually they can be destroyed by furrowing or ditching completely around the infested area. Summary of Control Measures for the Army Worm. 1. Watch fields of growing grass and grain carefully, especially the meadows, during the spring and early summer months, to discover the army worms before they become full grown and spread over the entire farm. When the worms are discovered at work, do not lose a minute, but attack them vigorously by means of the measures outlined in' foregoing paragraphs. 2. Foison them by spraying erc-s not intended for forage with csa pound of paris green to CO gallons cf water, or with two pounds of pondered arsenate of i to r " V .s of w r.tcr.

C,3 Looked After Defers Loaso Soil Seitfss.

:es Should Be Inspected Imi 1' '.iy After Each Rain and !'f i Repaired Sow Some Kind cf Cover Crops. (Frer-ared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Terraces require considerable care find attention, especially during the first year, before the loose soil has had time to become settled thoroughly. All apparently weak places should be risited after every heavy rain, and any breaks should be repaired Immediately with a shovel. It Is best not to cultivate the terraces the first year, but to seed them to some kind of cover crop. It is advisable to run the crop rows parallel to the terraces, one row be ing planted on top of the terrace. The cultivation of the top row tends to keep the top of the terrace at the proper height. Where the rows are run across the terraces, as is done commonly on moderate slopes, the top 5 . t View of Lower Side of Bench Terrace Embankment Showing Growth cf Weeds and Grass on Embankment soil Is moved down the side slopes by cultivati: n. As a result, the terraces are more liable to break, and much more maintenance work is required than where the rows are run parallel to the terraces. xll terraces that are cultivated should be plowed at least once a year, and the soil should be thrown to the center. In this way the height of the terrace Is kept up and the base may be broadened each year. Steep land that washes badly be tween the terraces should not be cultivated. The terraces should first be well built and the entire field seeded to grass and used for pasture or meadow. When it is found necessary to cross a farm road in terracing a field, the building of the terraces should be continued across without regard to the road. Where the terraces are as much an 20 feet broad, no provision need be made for passing traffic across them, but they should be carefully maintained to prevent possible breaks. Where the terraces are not -more than ten feet broad, considerable Inconvenience to traffic and injury to the terraces generally results where no provision for crossing is made. Sometimes the water is carried under the roadway by a culvert, but the principal objections to this are that the capacity of the waterway is greatly reduced and the free flow of the water through the culvert is often obstructed by stalks or other trash washed from the field. A wooden bridge spanning, the channel, so as not to reduce very much the cross-sectional area of the waterway, makes a more desirable and satisfactory crossing. FOB HOME GARDENERS (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Home gardeners will find that all of the most common insects and diseases attacking vegetables are. catalogued in the United States Department of Agriculture's Farmers Bulletin SoG, which will be sent free on request of the department. This bulletin tells how to detect the pretence of destructive injects and diseases and how to prevent Ik t Is r-s , t r :- i " r r p e - ? and fight them.

i MILK STRAINING IMPORTANT Utensils and Strainer Cloths Should Be Thoroughly Washed and Then Sterilized. (Prepared by the United States Department o Agriculture.) Strainer cloths containing So.OOO.OOO bacteria per square inch have been found in use on dairy farms. Tiie average strainer cloth, of which about CO square Inches is in contact with the milk, is likely to contain fully a billion bacteria if it is not washed and sterilized after each milking. If the cloth Is folded, the number of bacteria is likely to be still greater. Milk produced under conditionwhere utensils were not sterile was found to contain more than CGO.000 bacteria per cubic centimeter. When all utensils were sterilized,, the average bacterial count was only about 31,000 per cubic centimeter or less than one-twentieth as many. Bacteria in milk ore not necessarily injurious to health, but they reduce Its keeping quality. Certain kinds of bacteria, if too numerous, al ;o affect its palatability. For the production of clean milk the department of agriculture urges strict sanitation in every dairy operation. Utensils and strainer cloths should be thoroughly washed with warm water and washing powder, then rinsed in clean water and sterilized by boiling or steaming for five minutes. After sterilization, the utensils, including pails, cans, strainers, and strainer cloths, should be 1 Cleanliness Is Essential to the Production of Milk of Low Bacterial Count. hung in a ciean place where they will be protected from files and dust. Milk as it leaves the udder of healthy cows is clean and pure and may be kept so by following the methods outlined. CANS BETTER THAN BUCKETS Much More Convenient for Handling Milk and Cream in Transferring to the Hou-e. Milk and cream from even a fewcows can be much more conveniently handled in regular milk cans than in the shallow pans and wide-mouthed buckets commonly used. Cans are convenient for collecting the milk at the barn and transferring It to the house. These cans may be bought in various sdzes. For handling cream and shim milk where separators are u---1. or even where cream is sot to sour for butter making, the "shotgun e-an," is very convenient. Jt can be easily cohered and set in water and is convenient to handle. SYSTEM OF CROP ROTATION Successful Dairymen Will Have Ono Market cr Csh Crcp Oesides Profit From Dairy. The most successful dairymen have a system of crop rotation that enables them to have one market or cash crop, besides the profit of the dairy. The increased fertility that is brought on to the farm from the use of concentrated feed stuffs more than offsets the amount of fertility removed by the sale of the dairy products. Another factor is th;it the same help required to properly conduct a .dairy can find time outside cf the routine dairy work to care for a profitable market or cash crop. Tank for Dairy Herd. When figuring on a tank for the dairy herd, allow for about 1C0 pound.?, cr 20 gallons, for each' cow daily. Making a Kicking Cow. Most, times it is the calf that Is handled roughly that makes the kicking cow.
