During seasons of heavy grasshop per Infestation, orchard and nursery trees are sure to suffer where the grasshoppers are permitted to migrate from adjoining pastures, meadows o other crcjps. There are three common species of grasshoppers which do this damage, J the red-legged, differential and twotlived. Where Injury occurs Young Hoppers Feeding. tt Is usually soon after hay harvest. The foliage Is often completely de voured and serious injury may result where the hungry grasshoppers at tempt to appease their appetites fur ther by gnawing the bark from the twigs and even the trunks of small trees. Where grasshoppers are abundant on crops near the orchard or nursery one should take precautions to prevent trouble; Poison bran bait sown broad cast In infested meadows and other crops when the hoppers are yet small will rid the community of the pest. Poison bran bait Is prepared by mix ing dry 50 pounds of bran and two pounds of white arsenic or paris green and moistening this with about eight gallons of water with which are mixed four quarts of cheap sorghum and the juice and chopped-up rinds of six lem ons. Sow this at daybreak so the hop pers will get it for breakfast yet moist and attractive. Where this j precaution is not taken and the hop ' pers are feeding on the foliage spray i the trees heavily with aft arsenate of lead solution. PRUNE NEWLY PLANTED TREE As Many of Feeding Roots Have Been Left in Ground, Tops Must Be Cut to Balance. The pruning of trees should begin when ! they are planted. . When kthe trees are dug from the nursery row many of the feeding roots are left In the ground, and it is necessary to re move some of the top of the trees in order to establish more nearly a bal ance between the tops and the roots. This pruning should be given Immedi ately after the tree has been set. - The following points should be kept in mind when performing this operar tlon: Three or four branches should be left In addition to the central leader. The. lowest of these branches should be on .the southwest side to prevent sun scald ; the branches should be four or five Inches apart and on different sides of the trunk in order to avoid crotches; the branches that are left should be cut off eight or ten Inches from the trunk and the leader shortened back two-thirds. All other branches should be removed close up to the trunk. TAKE CARE OF PEACH TREE As Soon as Fruit . Has Been Gathered RemoVe All Dead Twigs and Diseased Branches. As soon as the fruit has been har vested, all diseased fruit and dead twigs should be removed from peach trees immediately. All weak limbs on, the tree that shots- any sign of bark beetle injury should also be removed. If these dead twigs and limbs are al lowed to remain on the tree through out J the summer, the bark beetle will gradually spread over the entire tree, and destroy it. Since the fruit buds for next year's crop are formed during late summer, It is very evident that If a good crop of fruit is to be had next season the proper care should be taken of this year's growth. I Keeping Bordeaux Mixture. If Bordeaux mixtures cannot be used on the day prepared, dissolve a heaping tablespoonful of sugar in a little water for each 50 gallons and stir it In . thoroughly. This will make It remain good much longer than It would do otherwise. J Coddling Moth. Apple and pear growers will find It necessary to , spray for the coddling moth during the summer months. The' number f of applications "will depend upon the seriousness of the infestation. FARM I LIVE STOCK .. 4 PLOW UP BARN LOTS YEARLY Turning Over Soil Helps o Get Rid of Pests and Forage Makes it Profitable Job. (Prepared by the "United States Department ; .. of Agriculture.) , , . Hog raisers may accomplish two de sirable results by plowing up the barn lots at least once a year, says the United States Department of Agricul ture. In the first place, hogs need good succulent pasture as much of the time as possible, and in the second place they need -protection against in ternal parasites, such as roundworms the eggs of which remain in the soil. Turning over the soil in the lots helps to get rid of the pests and the crop of forage makes it a profitable opera tion." ; In addition to providing cheap protein feed, pasture crops aid as a laxative and require the ho.gs to take a certain amount of exercise, which is necessary to breeding animals and growing pigs. f Rye is probably the best crop to use for fall, winter and spring pas ture for hogs. Throughout the corn belt It may be sown from August 20 to about October 1, depending on the latitude. In warmer climates the crop may be put in at various times tip to as late as December. By put--ting In successive plantings from two to four weeks apart it is possible to have fresh pasture all the time. Seed ing for pasture should be much Hogs Need Good Succulent Pasture. heavier tiian for a grain crop, from three to. four bushels , per acre on a good soil. Pasturing can probably begin six weeks after seeding, and may continue, if the rye is not cov ered with snow, until the following ; April. - WORMS CAUSE SERIOUS LOSS Farmers Should Exercise Special " Care Against Stomach Infection v for Rest of Summer. "All farmers who Iiave sheep should exercise special caro regarding stomach worm infection for the re mainder of the., summer," says A. E. Darlow, assistant professor of , animal husbandry at Oklahoma A. and M. college. : "All spring lambs grown for the market should be rushed and put on the market at the first possible date. Stomach worms ,in . connection with short pastures cause serious financial losses, especially with lambs. "Wherever possible the sheep should have a change of pasture and where flockmasters are prepared to furnish a change of good pasture danger from stomach worms is small." ,. , -4 Aside from changing , pasture. . and rushing lambs the best method , of overcoming the stomach .worm Is drenching, Darlow says.r Oklahoma station bulletin 37 by Z E. ,Guber let gives directions, for preparing , and administering this drenc.h. ) ' VITAMINES IN YELLOW CORN . -Experiments Conducted at Wisconsin University Show vhite Variety Is Inferior. Feeding experiments at the Univers ity of Wisconsin indicate that white corn and skim milk when fed to pigs In drylot, is decidedly inferior to yel low corn and skim' milk. Two pens ted on these two rations were cared for in other respects alike. None 'of the lot fed white corn did well; those fed yellow corn produced, fairly good re turns. Over half the pigs given the white corn were seriously affected and two or three died before the test was completed. This experiment is in further proof of previous tests both at Wisconsin and elsewhere, indicating that in yel low corn there is a much larger per centage of. vitamines. If these can be supplied through green crops, white corn, according to the experi ments Is satisfactory. trlnS 0r sheep 'ia ver7 Pleasant work for the man who likes them and who cares to study their peculiar and ofttimes amusing habits.
