Trap Chinch Bugs
There is a severe outbreak of chinch
bugs in some sections of the state.
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. To get a good product out
of the can it is necessary to put the
same kind in the ican.

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.

Local Welfare,
J For a good many months we've been
talking about recovery. “At first, that’
talk principally represented optimism.
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.

June, with

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

Silver — Recently touched 3874 cents

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

the blackest marks of depression have

Hutchison Urges
With Use Of Lime-
Sulphur
Growers can substantially reduce
brown rot infection of fruit by spray-
ing their peaches with self-boiled lime-
sulphur about one month before they
ripen, declares County Agent J. 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.
