He claims to have counted five hundred caterpillars brought by a pair of birds to feed their young in one day, while another pair brought an equal number of miscellaneous in- sects within ¢ two-hour period. It is a pleasure to note that this investi- gator contented himself with just watching. Tle bird books are full of statistics regarding the number of various insect, pests discovered by cut- ting open birds and taking an inven- tory of their insides. This always im- pressed us as rather a scurvy. way of treating our feathered friends and benefactors, but we had supposed it was more or bss needful, if we were to have essentizl information. If the same results can be obtained by ob- servation, why slaughter the birds? —Boston Traiscript. —Subscribe for the “Watchman.” | State Ranks High in Maple Products. Pennsylvania is one of the leading States in the production of maple su- gar and syrup. In 1926 a total of 223,000 pounds of sugar and 251,000 gallons of syrup were produced, giv- ing the State the rank of fifth, accord- ing to the Bureau of Statistics, Penn- sylvania Department of Agriculture. It is especially noteworthy that dur- ing the past season the quality of the products produced in Pennsylvania surpassed that of Vermont, long fa- mous for its maple industry, by five points. > The number of trees tapped in the State has decreased 135,000 since 1923, due to the influence of labor con- ditions and the demand for lumber. However, the yield of the maple pro- duct per-tree has remained unusually high, being 3.2 pounds of sugar in 1925, a figure which has been exceeded only by Connecticut’s high record of 3.5 pounds in 1923. The 1926 season was one of the best for maple sugar and syrup pro- duction in years. While opening about four weeks later than usual, it lasted an average of 3.8 weeks. The sap was unusually sweet, and the cool, cloudy weather contributed to its keeping qualities. Ten per cent. of the product was made into sugar, and the average price per pound was 30 cents, while the average price of the syrup to the producer was $2.10 per gallon. The 1926 season was extremely favorable for the industry. Reports from the leading maple sugar and syrup States indicate a production which was the second largest in quan- tity since 1920. Maine, New Hamp- shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin report a pro- duction of 34,776,000 pounds in terms of sugar, an increase of approximate- ly 24.5 per cent over the 1925 produc- tion. It is reported that a greater per cent. of the crop was made into syrup this year than in previous years, this being true of all the States except New York, where the percentage of sugar increased. Another develop- ment of the season is the fact that New York supplanted Vermont as the ranking State in the production of maple products. Production in Ver- mont has been decreasing and that of New York increasing during the past three years, so that in 1926 New York produced 750,000 pounds more maple sugar than Vermont.—From the Wy- oming Democrat. Newspaper Men Hold Outing at State College. The annual summer outing for Pennsylvania newspaper editors and publishers was held at State College on Monday and Tuesday under the auspices of the Pennsylvania News- paper Publishers’ Association and the Pennsylvania State College. More than 150 people attended the conven- tion and enjoyed the many attractions offered at the college. Business methods for both daily and weekly publications were discussed at. the sessions of publishers. There was a luncheon meeting of Associat- ed Press representatives, addressed by Edward McKernon, superintendent of the eastern division. Speakers at the banquet Monday night included Eric E. Hopwood: editor of. the. Cleveland, Ohio, Plain Dealer; Dr. C. W. Stod- dart, of the Pennsylvania State Col- lege adminstration committee, and R. W. Kellogg, director of the Empire State school of Printing, conducted by the New York Publishers’ Association at Ithaca. A tour of the college campus, golf, trout fishing and side trips furnished entertainment during the outing. State Educational Institutions Open For Summer Months. Instead of gathering dust during the summer, class rooms and labora- tories in Pennsylvania’s State educa- tional institutions are being put to use each year wth special Summer Sessions. Pennsylvania high school teachers who do not hold a college degree have but one more year to obtain it, and summer schools this year and in 1927 will see these candidates earnestly striving for their goal. The session at the Pennsylvania State College will open on Tuesday, July 6. The educational features ar- ranged by Director W. G. Chambers for this year are said to surpass any- thing of the kind ever offered at Penn State. Some of the courses are draw- ing students from all parts of the United States, especially in the In- stitutions of French, English and Music Education. Rural education is to be stressed also.

They are easily de- stroyed by spraying or dusting with any arsenical poison (arsenate of lime one ounce to two gallons of water,} or pyrethrum powder may be dusted on the plants. It is difficult to get the spray to stick to the smooth glos- sy foliage of any of the cabbage fam- ily, but the spray may be greatly im- proved by adding one-half ounce of soap to each two gallons of the ar- senical spray. Dusting early in the morning or after a rain with pyreth- rum powder or any of the arsenical poisons is very satisfactory. A useful homemade duster is made by placing the dust material in a cheesecloth bag or sack or one made from any other thin, strong material, and then by go- ing over the plants using a stick to beat the dust from the bag a very satisfactory job can be done. —Woodchuck control was an impor- tant part of the work of the biologi- cal survey of the United States De- partment of Agriculture during the past year. Originally confined chief- ly to rough, stony land, where they did relatively little damage, wood- chucks have invaded areas devoted to orchards and grain and root crops and have established themselves along levees, hedgerows, and other favor- able retreats. By girdling orchard trees and feeding upon the products of the farm, these rodents have be- come a pest of considerable impor- tance. In the banks of levees their burrows frequently make costly breaks in time of high water and flood adjacent farms and destroy crops. They are responsible also for serious washouts in roads at bridge abutments and along culverts. Practical methods of fumigating woodchucks burrows with carbon bi- sulfide or calcium cyanide have been worked out. In Indiana, Illinois, New York and Maryland 329 demonstra- tions were attended by approximate- ly 5,000 landowners. In 24 counties in Indiana 92 demonstrations were at- tended by more than 2,000 farmers, and as a result 20,000 pounds of cal- cium cyanide were used in poisoning campaigns against the pests. In the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast States woodchucks consume con- siderable quantities of forage about mountain meadows, and locally invade orchards, alfalfa, and other farm truck and garden crops. The use of poison- ing methods demonstrated by the field representatives of the biological sur- vey has put a stop to much of the damage. —There is no feed better than milk for the brood sow during the two months or six weeks before farrow- ing. The size and strength of the pigs will be determined by the kind of feed the sow gets during this per- iod and she should have some pro- tein feed from animal sources. Skim milk, buttermilk, fish meal or tank- age furnish such nutriments. “In the absence of milk, either the fish meal or tankage-may be used,” says Prof. W. W. Shay, swine exten- sion specialist at the North Carolina State college. “Experiments con- ducted by Earl Hostertler of the ex- periment station staff show that the difference in feeding value is small. It is mostly a question of cost. The same is true of skim milk or butter- milk unless there is too much rinse water in the buttermilk. “However, unless milk can be bought at about 38 cents per hundred pounds, it would be profitable to buy the fish meal or tankage; otherwise, the feeder would be giving the milk producer a share in the profits from the feeding. On the other hand, when the milk producer sells his milk for hog feed at 38 cents per 100 pounds, he is letting it go for 44 cents less than hogs would pay him for the same price. This is based on the corn at $1 per bushel and the price of fish meal or tankage at $70 per ton. “Here we have a situation where skim milk or buttermilk is worth 82 cents per 100 pounds to the producer and only 38 cents per 100 to the hog feeder and that much only when the ratio and high level of corn and ho prices obtain, and he feeds the mil in the proportion of three pounds of milk to one pound of corn.” Mr. Shay states that the man who buys milk must also consider the greater weight and poor keeping qual- ities of this product as compared to fish meal and tankage. —Pork producers go to considerable expense in carrying sows and gilts that fail to return their owners a pro- fit, according to records gathered by the farm organization and manage- ment ‘department of the college of ag- | riculture, University of Illinois, fyom 25 McLean and Woodford county farms. The records from these farms for one year show that only 85 per cent. of the sows and gilts which wzre bred weaned litters. The 25 farms from which the rec- ords were obtained averaged ngarly 19 sows and gilts a farm, or 470 in all. Of this number, 16, or 3.4 per cent, died between the time of breed- ing and the time the litters were weaned. Twenty-eight sows and gilts or 6 per cent. of the total number on the 25 farms, proved to be barren or aborted. Between farrowing and weaning time, 26 of the sows and gilts, or 5.5 per cent. of them, lost their pigs from various causes, leav- ing 400, or nearly 85 per cent. which produced pigs for the feed lot. “While a 100 per cent. pig crop can hardly be expected, the overhead cost of carrying unproductive breeding stock may be greatly reduced,” R. C. Ross of the farm organization and management department pointed out. “The early removal of nonbreeders from the herd and the practice of feeding them out for an early market reduces feed cost and takes advantage of a market which is usually favor- able. The greatest saving, however, may be made by reducing losses after farrowing and thus securing profit- able litters from a larger proportion of the sow bred.” as ———— i meme———— ——The Watchman prints all the news fit to read. ca Dairymen Notice A special sale of Mayer's Dairy Feed—a Ready- Mixed Ration, 22% protein $40.00 per Ton Delivery Charge $2.00 per Load Frank M.
