Packers' Profits Large or Small Packers' profits look big when the Federal Trade Commission reports that four of them earned $i40 ,000,000 during the three war years. Packers' profits look small When it is explained that this profit was earned on total sales of over four and a half, billion dollars or only about three cents on each dollar of sales. This is the relation between profits and sales: Profits Sales f " 17 3 If no packer profits had been earned, you could have bought your meat at only a fraction of a cent per pound cheaper?

(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Trees and shrubs about the home and farmstead not only Increase the value of the property but make con ditions pleasanter and more healthful. A limited amount of planting may be done, therefore, for comfort alone ir respective of other return. Where a considerable plantation is contem plated, however, it Is essential to know what material may be grown economically and the uses to which it may be put. On the average farm in the plains region the first effort in planting Is to provide a small grove plantation which will protect the buildings from severe winds and furnish shade for greater comfort of both man and ani mals. Sometimes when such a wind break has been established the owner tries to make it furnish a supply of material for use on the farm. This is a mistake, for If a belt of trees is planted primarily as a protection against the wind the pruning and re moval of much large material may lessen or even destroy its protective value. Value of Plantation. The value of a plantation, other than a windbreak, on the farm lies in its ability to furnish fuel, posts and a limited amount of lumber and repair material. Within a very few years after planting the plantation will need to be pruned and the prun ing will furnish considerable fuel, de pending upon the size of 'the plot. If good, care is given the trees they will develop rapjdly and some thinning will have to be done to prevent harm ful crowding. The material thus re moved will contribute materially to the upkeep of the farm by furnishing posts and stakes. When the planta tion Is still older more valuable ma terial may be harvested. Small tim bers for building construction, poles for Implements, also tool handles, neckyokes, eveners, whiffletrees and, in favorable situations, a limited amount of lumber is provided at home as needed. Throughout the plains region there is a marked scarcity of timber which will produce even a fair grade of lum ber and this fact should be taken Into account when species are select ed for planting. When a large planta- CABBAGE WORM MOST DESTRUCTIVE ENEMY Spraying Is Effective Remedy in Combating This Pest. Community Action Is Desirable Wher ever Related Crops Are Grown Extensively Leave Few Pols oned Stalks for Traps. (From the United States Department of Agriculture.) The common cabbage worm, the most destructive enemy of cabbage and re lated crops In the United States, be gins its depredations as soon as the young plants are set out in the spring and continues its work throughout the summer. Control measures, to be ef fective, should begin as soon as the in sect makes its appearance. Although the insect caused the total destruction of cabbage, cauliflower, and other crops in large areas In the years immediately after its first ap pearance in this country in the sixties, control measures have now been per fected to such a degree and adopted to such an extent that losses need not be great. Spraying with a solu tion of two pounds of powdered arsen ate of lead, four pounds of arsenate of leed in the paste form, or one pound of parls green to 50 gallons of water should be begun as soon as the plants are set out and should be repeated as often as examination of the plants shows it to be necessary. "" The common cabbage "worm" is the larva of a white butterfly having black tipped wings. The butterflies appear on warm spring days, and continue about gardens and fields until after several severe fall frosts. In the Gulf region the are present throughout the season. Kggs are laid on cabbage and related plants where they hatch in from four to eight days. The cqterpillar Is velvety green, about thel color of the cabbage foliage. It eats voraciously and grows rapidly, becoming full grown Id from ten to fourteen days after hatching. Three generations occur each season in the northeast and probably six in the ex treme South. The first generation usu ully develops on wild plants. Hand picking may be practiced suc cessfully In small gardens. Where siirajrs are employed they should be tion is established care should be taken to put out such trees as will give the maximum amount of body material and to arrange them so as to derive the greatest benefit. Secure Best Results. In windbreak planting the-best re sults usually are secured when the shortest trees are placed on the side facing the wind, so that a sloping face Is presented and the air currents are deflected upward. These, short trees should-have low-branching habits and dense foliage, in order that they may offer as much hindrance to the pas sage of air currents close to the ground as is possible. The Russian olive is probably the best for this. Not infrequently, when complaints are made of the reputed ineffectiveness of windbreaks it develops upon exami nation that the planter has either used unsuitable species and given them poor care or has failed to estab lish belts of sufficient width. Species for Northern Region. The northern half of the plains re gion, which includes the eastern por tion of Montana, Wyoming and Colo rado and the western portions of the Dakotas and Nebraska, is character ized by lower temperatures, heavier precipitation, and a shorter growing season than the southern half. The species recommended for It are: Hack berry, honey locust, white elm, cotton wood, narrow-leaf cottonwood, white poplar, white willow, diamond willow, Russian olive, buffalo berry, Siberian pea tree, Jack pine, western yellow pine. Species for Southern Region. All the species recommended for the northern portion of the plains re glojj may be planted In the southern portion, which Includes southeastern Colorado, western Kansas and Okla homa and northern Texas, and on ac count of the more moderate tempera tures it is possible to extend the list. The following additional species are recommended: Box elder, green ash, black locust, red cedar, Chinese arbor vltae. Specific information on, these spe cies Is published In Farmers' Bulletin No. 888, a copy of which can be ob tained by applying to the United States department of agriculture, Wwhlngton, D. C. applied in a fine mist, since coarser ap plications tend to gather in drops on the leaves and run off. Community action In combating the cabbage worm is desirable wherever cabbage and related crops, are grown extensively. Agreements should be entered by the truckers of the commu nity for each to spray throughout the season and to carefully clean the fields of the bulk of the old stalks as soon as the crop is harvested. A few stalks should be left at regular Intervals as traps on which the last generation of female butterflies will deposit eggs. Such stalks should be poisoned freely with arsenicals so that the worms of the last generation will not develop. INCREASE SUPPLY OF CHICKENS AND EGGS (Prepared by the United States De partment of Agriculture.) Every commercial breeder, ev ery farmer, every back-yard poultry raiser, is urged to keep these aims steadily in view: 1. Keep better poultry. Standard-bred poultry improves tho quality and Increases production. 2. Select healthy, vigorous breeders to produce strong chicks. 3. Hatch early to produce fall and winter layers. 4. Preserve eggs when cheap for home use. 5. Produce Infertile eggs, ex cept for hatching. 6. Cull the flocks to eliminate unprofitable producers. 7. Keep a small back-yard flock to supply the family table. 8. Grow as much poultry feed as possible. 9. Eat more poultry and eggs to conserve the meat supply. Preserve Eggs for Winter. It is the duty of every farmer not only to preserve eggs for his own use, bui to urge his friends living in towu to preserve eggs for next fall and win ter use. Hens in Confinement. Hens like freedom, but good feed and care reconcile them to confine ment. Mature, rugged birds often lay more eggs in close confinement thin when at liberty Listen to me !
