To Control Insect Pests

‘ -__ For the eating insects. spray with Paris green, arsenate of lead, helleb- ore or some patent poisonous prepar- ation. The latter will probably be found most convenient as it is usually necessary only to add water and stir. Parisgreen is usually ap- plied at the rate of one ounce dis- solved in ten gallons of water. Adding a couple of ounces of freshly slack- ened lime will make this mixture stick and will prevent burning of the foliage. One scant ounce of arsenate of lead thoroughly stirred in a. gallon of water makes another good poison, or bad if we look at it from the bug's standpoint. Hellebore rapidly weak- ens when exposed to the air so it will be necessary to get a fresh supply of this poison every year. Apply at the rate of one ounce to a gallon of warm water, or it may be dusted on dry when the foliage is damp. A special dish is usually prepared for those en- emies of all soft growing plants-the cut worms. These grabs are about three-quarters of an inchlong, grey in color and plump in diameter. If your freshly set but petunia, zinnia, tomato or any other plant withers you will usually find a. cut-worm busy where the stem leaves the earth. Mix one quart of bran with one teas- poon of paris green. add one table- spoon of molasses and enough water to moisten the bran. Spread this enticing mixture round the plants and as the cut worm will leave the watery juice or the plant for the poison, results are usually satisfact- ory to the gardener. Thorough cul- tivation will also check the ravages of the cutworm, and, in small gardens or where particularly valuable plants are used. a paper collar sunk half an inch in the earth around each plant will be effective. For sucking pests, chief of which are the aphids or plant lice, spray ~ whale oil soap, four ounces of soap to a gallon and a half of wat- er; nicotine sulphate, or "Black Leaf 40" or any other repellent ad- vised by seedsmen. Cold water from‘ a fine nozzle under high pressure. will sometimes wash off the pests.

CANADIAN HOLSTEINS

The Secretary of the Canadian Holstein registrations reports that the membership of his ty now num- bers approximately 4,000. The number of Holsteins registered in Canada in i928, was 22,000. The number quali- field in the R. O. P. for i927 was l,- 119.

SIT 0R. SET

One of the commonest errors in daily conversation is the misuse of the word set when sit is meant. A rough rule ‘to right the wrong’ is to remem- ber that something must be set: you set a trap, you set bread, you set sail. but when you rest, say on a chair you sit. The farmer sets the hen and it sits.

Another error is the substitution of the word lay for lie. This is due part- ly to the dislike t0 use the word lie as it not parliamentary, and partly duc to confusion of tenses. In time still present we lie down when‘ we rest; but we may lay something down is in the command, "lay that book down." “He is laying down" is wrong.

These remarks may appear "high- brow" to the person who thinks that as long as one understands the thought the manner of its presen- tation is of no moment; but thestu- dent reflects that such inaccuracies reduced the language of Rome, the Latin, first to a number of dia- lects; and afterwards to the langu- ages known as Italian, French, Span- ish and Portuguese.

By keeping our ."wel1 of English undefiled" we are helping to realize the time when the whole earth shall again be one tongue and one langu- age.

SPIAYING TIME

There are numbers of good orch- ards in. our province, and we could well do without imported apples, if the fruit we grow were properly at- tended to. The locally grown apples are in most cases badly scabbed, and not very attractive in consequence. A good spraying-one oniy—in the spring, has a wonderful effect, and if the grower is in s. pout-ion to give the number prescribed by the spray calendar, his apples would successful- ly compels with those from other provinces. Orchards, to produce the best fruit, rnusi. be pruned, fertilized, and sprayed, andthe two latter may be attended to now. '

CULLING OUT SHEEP

When the lambing season is over, says an authority, it is well to look over the flock and mark out the ewes that are not up to the standard, that they may be disposed off later on. Lambs from the best ewes should also be marked and retained for breeding future stock. Sheep fann- ers have learned the importance of high quality rams: now they must learn to do away with scrub ewes. Such a ewe may produce an inferior fleece, she may not feed her lamb well, on account of poor or scanty milk, or a bad udder; or she may be off type. Even if of good conforma- tion, but suffering from one of these other effects, she is better culled out of the flock.

DON'T fail to test jars with new rubbers before sterilizing.

DON'T use old rubbers. -It is cheaper to buy new rubbers thauto lose your vegetables.

Maine Potato A l. Statistics _

AUGUSTA, Me. June 13F"Th° De- partment of Agriculture has misused figures showing that time was shipp- ed out of the i988 Maine potato -croP a total of 1,768,287 bushels of certified seed. Slnpments were made to 23 states. the District y: columbia "and Porto Rico. Considering the decreased acreage in the southern states the ratio of output was maintained al- though shipmenis were not so heavy as in the previous season. ‘

Erlon L. Newdiclr, Chief of the Di- vision of Plant industry of the State Department of Ag. , comment- ing on the situation said: "At the end of a disastrous season financially. the seed growers are not enthusiast: about having potatoes certified by th state department. i

"The reason for this is that the southern buyer has not been willing to pay a premium for the extra work which the Maine grower. has been forced to do in order to srow a high grade product that would pass in- spection.

"The Department of Agriculture E has maintained for several years an inspection service and will continue mi do so, but will not carry on an in- l tensive campaign to interest the i growers as it has in many seasons. It‘ is hard to create an interest when: the financial gain is extremely doubtful. '

“The table stock grower during the lost five years has made more money ' handling his crop for a period of nine months than has the seed grow- , er who sold his potatoes out of the field or contracted for delivery tht following spring. It is true that ther are some good seed customers but un fortunately price has been the decid-

ing factor rather than the quality of ~, the stock. The total number of cars: required to move this amount of cer- ' tified seed. was 2570. , -

“Complaints were very few comq pared with the shipments. Investiga- tion consisting in most cases of re-' if spectio l on the other end showed that a drop in the market was the cause of most of these. A few cars showed too many bruises and some black scurf.

"Maine potato men have

made

better seed potatoes but have not received the price that they should. The approval by the Ropubllcan cau- cus in Washington of an increased tariff on potatoes may help some- what. The duty has been b0 cent; per 100 pounds and the caucus re- commendation is 75 cents."
