Extension entomologists of the Penn- sylvania State College recommend plowing a deep furrow across the in- fested field in front of the advancing army and placing in this hydrated lime, gas tar, or waste motor oil. Improve Potatoes a — > Roguing is a valuable practice in the growing of disease-free. seed potatoes. Leaf roll can be most easily” detected and rogued out when the plants are about a foot high. Mosaic shows up to best adv antage at mid-season. Giant hill ican’ be recognized and ro- gued out Wwhén the vines mature in the fall. | Sow Cover Crops The sowing of cover crops in corn and truck Crops helps substantially to increase the ‘organic matter content of the soil, conserve plant food; and pre- vent erosion of the soil. Legumes are preferred, with sweet clover a satis- factory crop Where the soil. will grow it well. Prune Dead Flowers Now is the time to remove all dead flower clusters on lilacs, azaleas, rho- dodendron, and similar plant mater- ials. Very little other pruning : will have to be done. Better blooms will result next year if the dead blossoms - are removed now. Mulch the Garden Mulches of strawy manure, leaves, lawn clippings and sometimes paper are used in the home garden to con- serve moisture and keep down the weeds. Strawy manure is especially valuable for celery, cucumbers, and tomatoes. | Can Good Vegetables b Only fresh, young vegetables in prime condition should be used for canning.

Regular Shoe Repairing Fo To Meet Your Purse JOE’S MODERN QUICK Shoe Repairing Van Campen’s Building Shavertown, Penna. [Eennunnnmummun(E) : ~ Many farm’ animals die every sum- mer in Pennsylvania from eating poi- sonous plants, according to Dr. E. -M. Gress, State botanist. This is espec- ially’ true during the months of July, August and early September when the pasture is likely to become ' parched and scant, he explained. Among the pldnts which cause the most injury are wild black cherry, common black, locust, water hemlock, white snake-root and bracken fern. Wild black cherry is not poisonous if eaten when the leaves are fresh, but often limb§ are broken from the trees and in a few hours the leaves become wilted when a deadly poison known as prussic acid is formed. If cattle eat these wilted leaves, serious results us- wally follow. Common black Yotudt may not cause much trouble, for. ordinarily not - a great amount is eaten. More injury has been reported of horses which ihave been tied to locust trees eating the bark with fatal results; Water hemlock is one of.the worst poisonous weeds in the State. It is a known fact that many cattle and other stock are lost each year from eating this plant. It comes in’ bloom about July 1 and continues through the -greater part of the summer. It is most poisonous in the young, juicy state. This plant grows in meadows and swamps. - White snake-root does not hesin to bloom until about August, however, it will cause trouble ‘if eaten before it blooms, It is a woodland plant. In northern Pennsylvania, many farmers have trouble every year. In this section of the State the bracken fern is especially abundant. While there is difference of opinion as to the poisonous character of the bracken fern, it has been quite definitely prov- n by experiment that it is poison- ous, the botanist said. : Retreat Farms In Ton Litter Contest Recently, Theodore J. Sampson, manager’ of the Central Poor District Farms, had eight litters of Duroc Jer- sey pigs entered in the Pennsylvania Ton Litter Contest. When a litter 1s entered in the Ton Litter Club, the owner attempts to grow a ton of live ‘pork:within a 180- day period of ‘the farrowing time. The litters that were entered con- sisted of nine and ten pigs each on the average. Should the Retreat Farm secure eight ton litters, this year, it no doubt would be a Pennsylvania State Record, for the greatest number of ton litters. Mr. Sampson states the pig de- partment, under the capable manage- lment of Lyman Merry, has been un- usually successful this past year, hav- ing raised an average of over eight pigs per litter.

Then some actual signs! of recovery began to appear. The indexes took on a more cheerful tone. Now there's no longer any question about it. Recov- ery is here. There’s hardly an indus- try that isn’t feeling new blood in its veins these days. A recent New York Times’ survey It is based on six of the most trustworthy barometers— automobile production, steel mill ac- tivity, - lumber production, electric power output, freight car loadings and cotton forwardings. On March 18 the combined index stood at 60.0 On July 1 it had reached 97.3 — a gain of bet- ter than 50 per cent. Here are some reports, mostly based on Department of Commerce findings: Commodity Prices — There has been a continued upward movement. Employment — Improvement marked and widespread. During June more than 500,000 persons found work in manufacturing and 16 non-manufac- turing industries, irrespective of agri- culture, railroads and other fields. Finance — Until very recently stock prices moved constantly up. The re- cession that followed is of no particu- lar importance; it is principally the re- sult of profit-taking in a speculators’ market, Construction — In the first half of June contracts represented the high- est activity since fall. Most pronoun- ced gain was in nonresidential con- struction. Transportation — Railroad carload- ing are much better than last year at this time, and Improvement has been sustained. Automobiles — It is customary for a seasonal decline to appear in June. This year there was an.increase in- stead. In May passenger cars output was 56 per cent above the monthly average for the year. wor Chemieal Industries — Customarily experience a seasonal drop in June; this year the drop has not occurred, and prices have risen. Foodstuffs — Activity greater. Pay- rolls in all groups, with the excep-- tion of flour milling; higher. Whole- sale food prices advancing. + Lumber — Continued improvement of the last few months during May and early June. Western pine out- put regently touched the comparative- ly high level of 35.7 per cent of cap- acity. Steel — There has been. continued contraseasonal improvement. In the latter part of June activity reached 50 per cent of capacity, the-highest in two years, and has advanced since. A year ago rate was about 16 per cent of capacity. ~ Textiles -Production sharply. in May and June, with increased continued into consequent gains in both rising: : Paper — Sharing in the géneral in- dustrial gain. In June, for the first time since February, 1930, shipments of newsprint exceeded those of the corresponding month of the Preceding year. Wool — Rising prices accompany in- creased output. Prospective wool clip is affected by bad weather in Aus- tralia and Western United States. Silk — Deliveries increasing first mal. Silver — Recently touched 3874 cents highest price since May, 1930. One of the most important factors in the presént trend, is the way sea- sonal influence are being overridden. A hundred industries are showing im- provement at a time when a summer decline almost invariably occurs. Another excellent sign is the contin- ued decline in the number of business failures — a field in which some of the blackest marks of depression have been registered the past few yars. since of the year, now. close to nor- Watch for our full-page adver- tisement next week.

D. Hutchison. . This spray also helps to hold the infection of. peach scab in check. Dusting peaches from 2 ‘to 7 days (before picking also has been found to increase their resistance to brown rot, which in many cases is the limiting factor in keeping peaches. It is sug- gested that peach growers spray as soon as possible such varieties as Carmen, Champion, Rochester, and other varieties that will start to rip- en before August 15. Later varieties, such as Elberta, should be sprayed ap- proximately four weeks before the fruit starts to ripen. boiled lime-sulphur 8-8-50 is decom- mended and growers should cover the fruit and leaves with a fine mist spray, since large drops of the solution will spot the peaches. Tests conducted’ last year showed that the application of spray doubled the number of peaches remaining free from brown rot after 10 days. The ap- plication of a dust before picking also reduced loss from the disease. Dust- ing is not recommended for all or- chards, since on certain varieties which ar somewhat resistant and in orchards where only Small amounts of brown rot occur the application prob- ably will be unprofitable. However, where the disease is severe and the grower desires to prevent damage to his stored peaches, it will often pay to apply a 90-19 sulphur dust or a pure sulphur dust to varie- ties especially susceptible to brown rot, such as Champion, Carmen and Rochester. Mr. Hutchison suggests that the dust be applied tq. dry foliage when the temperature is hislow 90 de- grees Fahrenheit. rr er rere CENTERMORELAND M. E.
