COUNTY AGENT’S REPORT
Some barley in Lancaster
County is yielding 65 bushels
per acre, Harry S. Sloat, asso-
ciate county agricultural agent
advised Lancaster Faming last
evening. Some yields are lower
as much as 50 per cent
due to lodging Recent rams
were a big help to tomatoes,
potatoes and corn, but slowed
up combining, knocking down
much wheat
“We have received a lot of
requests,” Mr. Sloat told, “about
slugs mining out pear and cher
ry trees. We advise use of DDT
in solution of two table
spoons per gallon of water for
small sprayers, or two pounds
per 100 gallons of water for
larger outfits. Do not spray
cherries until the fruit has been
picked,” he warned
I Mr Sloat urged that farmers
must be aware of the new Fed
eral law that went into effect
July 1, wherein tolerances on
foreign matter in grains shipped
to terminal points has been cut
in half. Insect ridden gram,
gram containing animal or bird
excrement, must not total
more than one part per pint per
sample.
Now is'a good time to clean
granaries of corn, sweep them
and clean them, then before use,
spray a five per cent household
solution of DDT and" permit to
dry before more gram is added,
his office advises.
