FALL IS TIME TO KILL LICE ON POULTRY flocks Should Get At-j' tention Before Cold : Weather Poultry flocks should be treated for lice and mites this fall be-1 fore cold weather, in order to insure freedom from these pests dur- 1 ing the winter months, according to G. E. llehker, extension entolmologist of Purdue University, who gave timely control recommendations: “For killing poultry lice two methods are standard,” he said. “One is the sodium fluoride treatment of birds and the other the nicotine sulphate treatment of roosts. To use the sodium fluoride \is a dip. immerse the birds up to yes -and nostrils for 20 tO| v.' in a’solution of one •. . oowdei in six gal- . ;<> insure penetra- • old the wings raffle the ■r- h nd.” | , hould be I ng to allow dry before r. “sodium substituted . gard to the ament of 3 simple and Br’o - a use d’ thin line ..ore roost- : ; .. v of an ounce feet of perch.” ug of poultry mites, Leh.nd, “The common red mite .„s in the poultry house and may be controlled by spraying the interior with a mixture of one part of kerosene in four parts of used crahk case oil, or perhaps better equal parts of kerosene and carbolineum or anthracene oil. This is not true, however, of the feather or depluming mite which live on the birds and must be controlled by dipping in a mixture of (wo ounces of flowers of sulphur in a gallon of water to which an ounce of soap has been added. For control of scaly leg mites still another treatment is necessary. Dip the infested legs in pure kerosene taking care not to wet the skin or feathers. Crude petroleum is also very effective for this purpose.” Purdue extension bulletin. No. 218, which is obtainable from County Agricultural Agents, or by writing to Purdue Agricultural Experiment Station at Lafayette, gives further details.

HOME DEMONSTRATION EXHIBIT WAS POPULAR AT STATE FAIR

By META E. MARTIN Clothing Speciialist, Purdue Univ. Judging from the interest of Indiana State Fair visitors in the Purdue University home economics exhibit entitled “Clothes Moths and. Adequate Storage Space as a’ Means of Saving Family Dollars in Clothes Care,” the actual damage from clothes moth devastation last year in the state far exceed-> ed the quarter of a million dollars estimated previous to the opening of the Fair. Many folks were rightfully convinced that moth control could be accomplished only through constant, vigilant methods of cleaning and freeing clothes and house from soil and dust, and that woolen goods or furs not in constant use should be carefully laid away in sealed or otherwise air tight packages enclosed in which there is a quantity of either naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene either in flakes or balls. „ Many women have adopted the clever i Jea demonstrated that of using the empty lard can, not. only for the storage of the wool I

State Husking ! Contest To Be | Deluxe Affair Festival to Open October Twenty-Eighth and Continue One Week Washington, Ind., Oct. 14 — With the most elaborate modern facilities arranged, the Indiana corn husking contest on the Graham farms near here October 291 promises to be a de luxe affair. Veteran farmers, insured to, hardships of the last century, . i probably will be amazed when they see the 16 husker contestants using 16 new rubber-tired wagons pulled by 16 new rubber-tired tractors. They also will be a bit ,j surprised to watch the contest- , ants working in rows a mile long ( in which no turning will be necessary. It will be the first time in any < I national or state contest in which such long rows have been available and that will mean better records, according to agricultural authorities. Thousands of persons from all parts of the state will gather in the 200-acre field where the contest will be held. The corn is of the hybrid variety, is standing well and should’ yield more than 65 bushels to the acre, the experts say. Two farnlers will act as gleaners ■for each of-the 16 wagons and the i I county agricultural agents from 16 southern Indiana counties will be referees. With radio stars and other talent, an entertainment program | will be held throughout the day.

JAP BEETLE CONTROLPLAN IS UNDERWAY Ft. Wayne, So. Bend, Indianapolis Are Key Cities Continuing the campaign against ' the Japanese Beetle in Indiana, representatives of the Indiana Department of Conservation xnd the U. S. Department of Agriculture will begin treatment Oct. 12 of areas in South Bend, Indianapolis s and Fort Wayne where beetles were found during the past summer. ] Approximately fifty-one acres 1 in South Bend and forty .two < acres in Fort Wayne will be spray- < ed with arsenate of lead in an es- i fort to control the Japanese 1 Beetle, an insect pest which is I considered a serious menace to lawns, shrubbery, gardens and ] golf courses in sections of the country where it has gotten a ] foothold. A sufficient number of beetles were trapped by the cooperating departments in the two Indiana cities to warrant treating methods, thirty-seven beetles having been found in South Bend and seventeen in Fort Wayne. Areas in Indianapolis, in the vicinity of which beetles were eaught in 1936, were treated last spring and as a result fewer beetles were trapped during the late spring and summer months. Areas in which beetles were found during the trapping search will be treated this fall. The arsenate of lead is applied to the soil end

BEE COLONIES FACE SHORTAGE OF FOOD Beekeepers tnroughout Indiana were warned today to see that their colonies were artificially fed if the beese do not have sufficient honey in the hive to sustain themselves through the winter months. Prediction that more colonies l would perish from starvation this winter than usual, due to shortage of food, was contained in a re-1 port to Virgil M. Simmons, com-' missioner of the Department of I Conservation, by James E. Starjjkey, chief apiary inspector. Bees 1 washed into the ground, killing the beetle grubs, a treatment which has been found effective in experiments.

For consumers, its demonstrations and exhibits have been designed to show now to buy, prepare, and serve the dressed product. Well known radio stars will appear on the entertainment program twice daily.

in many sections of the state did not store any surplus honey due to conditions prevailing during the season when flowers and other honey producing plants were in bloom. Continued warm weather may enable bees in some’ parts of the state to build up their food supply from asters and other late blooming flowers.

(German FannerS| iWork For State: — firops Confiscated Under Nazi Agriculture Plan Berlin, Oct. 14. (IPS) “Despite censorships which hide many of the facts, reports leaking out here offer an object lesson to nations which plan to tell their farmers what to plant, how much] to plant, and what to do with their crops. Nazi Germany started regimenting agriculture, along with every I thing else, when Hitler rose to power. 'Fhe government has gone] so far as to direct state police to' supervise the actual harvesting, | transporting and storing of crops. ] The minister of agriculture has; just issued an order requisitioning | all wheat and rye crops for the, state. The farmers were permitted to keep only enough for their own family use and for seed. And they are harvesting their crops under the watchful eyes of state police. For fear some farmers might i try to hold out more than their share, the courts announced that' fines ranging upward to 106,000 marks would be levied rgn.nst violators of the decree, with penitentiary sentences added H‘ the violations were especially obnoxious. This order was described as a “decree for safe-guardng the bread supply.” The Ggnnan crop of wheat and rye is estimated this year to be 15 i per cent under last year. The leaison, of course, was that some government official at planting | I time could not foresee unfavorj able weather conditions. So now ' tne Nazi government has been forced to contract to buy I 1 _> million tons oi foreign grain. Thus German farmers now may plhnt and till and reap, but they may not keep the product of their labor. They work for the strje. Range Plants Are Numerour The United States Forest Service finds over 800 grasses, herbs, and browse plants of value to ranchers and farmers on the grazing ranges of the West. Ninetyeight of those plants '"hre true grasses. The foresters estimate that altogether there are more than 10,00 flowering species on the ranges. National forest range management aims at quality, and quantity, and continuity of forage yield. Marihuana From Mexico Marihuana, believed to have been brought here from Mexico, grows from four to 12 feet tall and has elongated and jagged-edged leaves o 2 dark green. Cigarettes are made from the dried blossoms of the seeding, female plant.
