April" 22.?Indications a e that this will be one of the best se.sons for heavy apple production in siver.tl years and growers are urged to sp ay the fruit thoroughly at the right time to save this crop and prod ee a high qua'ity of fruit. C. H. Brannon extension entomologist at State College is spending is time this spring with the fruit rr w rs of the state and finds that if th. apple crop is protected by s- . y.ng this year the growers should : ' money. Especially is it important to spray for control of the codif" moth or apple worm. Last year he stat-. s. very few of the worms were ki'led by sprays. The moth emerged all during the year instead ofat two definite periods and more \ nts enterid winter quarters than usual. These worms will son emerge as m.:ths. will lay eggs, producing worms which eat into the apples and ?? i i l auar u niicuuuuo uauia^c. "The codling moth larvae or worms , psas the winter in cocoons beneath the b?rk of apple trees, under the trash and in cracks in the ground. The arvae transform to pupae just befor blooming time. This stage lasts abo t one month when the moth emerges and begins to deposit eggs on th leaves. The young worms bore i into the blossom end of the apple and eat teh core. They feed in the apple about one month and leave the fruit crawling down the trunk to begin the life cycle all over again. "To control the moth growers must use arsenate of lead poison applied at the rate of 1 1-2 pounds of arseuuto to CO o~ll . ... . .. - | pounds of lime with each pound of lead to the spray. The most important time for the codling moth spray is when seven-eighths of the blossom petals have fallen. This is very important." FARM WORK ANIMALS DESERVE MORE ATTENTION Raleigh. X. C\. Apri' 22.?The cost of kjpping one farm animal for one year on the farm amounts to $139.28 according to tests made by the North Carolina Expeirment station. Half the value of the State's cotton crop is needed to maintain the work animals on farms. I tis important, therefore, that farmers find how to decrease the cost of maintenance or increase the efficiency of the work animas. * ;? -> * * * * * * * + + I. f Building ??

S. Curtis of the animal husbandry department at State College states that the spply of work stock is not meeting the needs and the condition is becoming moe acute each . ear. To increase the efficiency of those animals now on the farms every farm should have a pasture_ or paddock where the animals may run at nights, on Sundays and during idle se-sons. Exercise and recreation are hus afforded. More home grown roughages are needed which will decrease the cost of maintenance. From one-half to two-thirds of the cost of 'hipped hay is in freight charges. "Retter rations for our work animals "re also needed," says Prof. Curtis. "A good suggested grain ration can be made of 9 parts corn and one -part of cottonseed meal, or five parts of corn and five parts of oats, or seven parts of corn, two parts of| oats and one part of cottonseed meal.! These rations fed at the rate of 1 1-2 pounds of the grain to each 100 lbs. of live weight during the heavy work period will be suitable. "Our animals also need regular attention. The best plan is to feed three time daily and give water and salt regu'arlv. It is detrimental to the animals to allow them to stand in box stalls over heated manure beds day after day. The animals should also be well groomed which will aid 1 nhealth and vigor. The harness needs to be well fitted, and the feet looked after more regularly." LABOR-SAVING IN THE HOME I din't like to scrub, so I have varnished every floor in my house except the kitchen, and that is covered with linniejiTti r t>n over these varnished surfaces twice a weetrV.cu SirSKSS mop. This cleans, dusts and polishes I at the same time. The linoleum is [cleaned in the same way unless it is unusually dirty, when it is wiped up with water to which mild soap has been added. This saves me a lot of back-breaking work, as well as rougher od hands?and temper. I have no suction cleaner, so when my rugs need cleaning 1 take them t and turn them face down on the grass, sweeping the back briskly with 1 stiff broom. Then I turn them over | rd sweep the faces. This does not | oa:- them out as beating does, and 'th grass catches the dust so it does nnt fly about. A tea wagon saves many steps? even a homemade one.

On mine I keep acount of sales and orders for eggs, vegetabes. etc., when hens are set, dates of club meetings, birthdays, appointments, and other sepclal dates I wish to remember. ?Mrs. V. H.

All the feed and care she gets must be charged against the litter. | If the litter is large strong and vigoro is, they will be obtained at a relatively low cost, no matter how much feed and attention have been given the sow, but if the itter is small, weak and runty, they will not be worth what they have cost, no matter how little feed and care have sow be kept' six'Thoffhnr'to-'iJ/W'a litter of pigs. It cannot be made a profitable operation unless the sow is properly fed and cared for. Some feed nothing but corn to the brood sow during the winter; in fact, many of the brood sows in the South have to pick up most of their feed in the mue and cattle lots around the barns. When corn or other whole trains are fed cattle and mules pigs should follow to pick up the waste grains, but brood sows should not get their feed in that way. Yes, brood ++**++ < > 11 J. R. Sams.

COOPIATIVES ARE SAFER lECAllSE HAVE LEARNED Nowt us follow through with our compaion of our political self-govmme and of economic self-government. ere In America we have a republici form of government. It Is not sf-government but it offers the niachery for self-government when the pipe choose to use it. In like fashio a cooperative marketing associate is not self-government but It offei the machinery for self- governmei if our farmers will use it. II is all ue enough that machines and bossesnay sometimes get control it our cooerative marketing democracj as theydo in our political democracy But theremedy is not to go back tc autocray or foreign rule. We den hear it said that this oi that coDerative marketing associa tion hs made mistakes. No doub every ooperative marketing assocla tion ha. But in a democracy like our how skiuld we treat mistakes? One method of treatment I regan as its.lf a supreme mistake. This 1 the pdicy which insists that the mi! take nust be minimised, whitewashe or ev? gorified into a virtue; tha "oyalty to the association and t | the officials who have made the mil takes should cause every member t rally to them and defend them again! all attacks. And while we have found defect tn ?etnai practice there are fa to which we can turn?the old systei of surrendering the marketing of whi we produce to speculators and mi dlemen, concerned only with fatte! ing on our labors. Certainly no hoi lies by that road. Above its door written. "Abandon hope all ye wl enter here." There is no other ho) for American agriculture.?Careni Poe, in The Progressive Farmer.
