_ Building-up for the Spring atta » Spring Att the Front is a good deal like putting the body in condition for an invasion | of the germs of grip, pneumonia or “Spring fever” here at Be At this time of the year most people suffer from a condition often called Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn out, before the day is hair thru. They may have frequent headaches and sometimes “pimply” or pale skin and white lips. The reason for this is that during the wintertime, shut up with- in doors, eating too much meat and too little green vegetables, one heaps fuel into the system which is not burned | up and the clinkers remain to poison | the systemn—a clogging up of the circu- lation—with inactive liver and kidneys.

This meant in many | cases the deprivation of cities of coal | which could not secure wood and has { caused much hardship and suffering. | Co-operative action on the part of com- munities and towns during the past winter has been eminently successful | in many places in the eastern United | States, bringing much wood’ into use and at prices ranging mostly from $5 to $8 per cord for stove wood deliver- ed, thereby eliminating “profiteering” of amounts ranging up to as high as | $8 to $12 per cord. Much can be done this spring in the Middle and North Atlantic and Lake states. In the Southern states where crop work is pretty well along, only an i occasional day can be devoted to this work. A big drive for winter wood fuel is being planned for ‘the South i beginning in August when crops are | “laid by.” Every rainy or idle day and every other day that can possibly | be spared should be used in chopping | wood in order to have on hand a sup- | ply of seasoned wood. The forest service and the states relation service of the department of agriculture and | the various state colleges of agricul- | ture are co-operating with the federal fuel administration in this nation-wide fuel eampaign. MANURE IS OF GREAT VALUE | Farmer Who Is Not Paying Attention to Fertilizer Is Overlooking Im- portant Point. The value of barnyard manure has alwsys been recognized, but the pro-- | tection necessary to preserve the fer- | tility of the manure has not been recog- | nized. The value of manvia on dif- | ferent soils is illustreted by experi- | ments in different parts of the state | by the Missouri college of agriculture. As an averaze of all experiments on | outlying fields barnyard manure has brought a return of $1.90 a ton, al- though on some of the fields the re- On one experiment field the return has been at the rate of $4.10 a ton. These experi- rients show that the farmer who is 10t earing for his manure is overlook- mg a most important source of rev- enue, MOUNT JOY STAR AND NEWS, MOUNT JOY, PA. PREPARE TO BATTLE CORN STALK BEETLE Many Growers in Southern States Reported Injury to Crop. | | Damage Was Quite Severs Whereaver | Soil Was Such as to Sustain Grub ~-Control Measures Recom- mended by Entomologists. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Last year a corn pest, described by | entomologists of the United States de- partment of agriculture as the rough- headed corn stalk beetle, appeared in many parts of the South, Many corn growers of Texas, Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas and Alabama reported in- Jury to their corn by this beetle, the damage being quite general and se- vere wherever the soil was such to sustain the grub. The beetle varies somewhat in size, according to the entomologists, but usually measures about one-half inch in length. It is a stout, hard-shelled creature, jet black in color. It is thought to be distributed only in the Southern states. The damage is done wholly by the adult and consists in boring into the outer wall of the stalks immediately below the surface of the ground, making a large ragged open- ing, and destroying the tender growing point, or “heart,” upon which the bee- tle feeds. The damage is done only during spring and early summer, Field observations show that outbreaks, for reasons as yet imperfectly under- stood, do not necessarily recur in suc- cessive years, A summary of control measures recommended by the entomologists and described in detail in the bulletin may be outlined as follows: 1. Eliminate all old pastures or waste land, especially low, moist areas, and drain such lands thoroughly. 2, Pasture hogs in waste or pasture lands that cannot he conveniently drained and cropped. 3. Plant corn early, say, about April as 20, for tidewater Virginia, and earlier | for more southerly localities. 4. Give liberal applications of barn- yard manure or commercial fertilizers whenever practicable. 5. Employ children or cheap labor | to collect and destroy the beetles when | a field first shows injury. 6. Do not allow corn to follow sod if possible to avoid it. 7. Plow sod land in late summer and | laid early fall in order to destroy the pupae | of the rough-headed cornstalk beetle, TREAT CHICKENS FOR WORM Massachusetts Poultry Raiser Recom- mends Remedy to the Agricul- tural Department.

HANDPICKING OF BEAN SEED | Not Long Nor Laborious Job as They | Are Larger Than Wheat or Bar- ley—Keeps Crop Pure. The handpicking of the beans is not a long nor a laborious job as the bean is much larger than the barley or wheat grain. Those who have tried it declare | most enthusiastically in favor of this sareful method of bean selection. Af- ter the beans have once been hand- picked it is relatively easy to keep the seed pure. SYSTEM FOR POULTRY FARM Arrange Buildings So That One Can Readily Go From One to Another Without Trouble. The poultry farm should be arranged so that the work can be done system- atically. Place the buildings so that one can readily go from one to the ! other.
