Niswonger, exten sion horticulturist of State College, says '"Look Out for. Diseases and Insects. Rotonone dust containing .75 or one per cent rotonone -will de stroy many leaf insects such as bean beetle, cabbage worms, where applied in a dust form. It will also have an effect on plant lice and the Harlequin cabbage bug when the dust comes in contact with these pests. Poisoned Bordeaux dust which can be pur chased from your seed dealer will control'' the Striped . cucumber bug when dusted on the plants as soon as they appear above the ground and again in about ten days. This dust is good also for flea beetles feeding on tomato and pepper plants. Use Bordeaux mixture for control of the leaf spot disease of tomato, pepper, cucumber, and cantaloupes.

The Teas Company Sanitary Pigs Profit Owner a Dollar a Week " Time is not worth much to a hog, according to an old saying, but a difference of a few weeks in its mark et age is a matter of several dollars to its owner. One of the advantages of the swine sanitation system, which prevents infestation with internal parasites, is that the pigs thrive bet ter, make more rapid gains, and ma ture earlier than pigs' allowed to run in old hog lots. The sanitation system, developed by investigators of thj United Slates Bureau of Animal - Industry in co operation with producers in McLean County, Illinois, calls fir placing clean sows with their litter on pas tures that, since being planted, have not been used for pigs. Here they seldom pick up eggs of round worms or other internal parasites especially harmful to young pigs. The difference in the tim lequired to reach market weight, according to reports received by the bureau, is often as much as sik weeks aid the early pigs usually bring the better prices. As" an example, som.3 early pigs raised under sanitation were ready for market early in September before prices dropped. The top prices for 200-pound hogs at Chicago drop ped from $12.90 a hundred on Sep tember 15 down to $9.60 a hundred on November 1. That was a decline of $3.30 a hundred in six . weeks, a difference of over $6 or a dollar a week in favor of sanitation pigs. Another advantage of the plan is that it reduced the cost of production i J I N 'W ' n f M v- ta.w.frjc-jyiwMi.mj Mjmm ct.-awiMiittf )afr3i. .
