PA. DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE
Hunting Wild Fowl in Planes
Forbidden
The director of military aero-
nautics has forbidden the shooting of
wild fowl with machine guns from
airplanes and has directed that air-
plane flights along the Atlantic coast
or at any place where migratory wild
fowl may be found shall be con-
ducted in such a manner as to inter-
fere as little as possible with the
habits and feeling of the wild fowl.
Commanding officers are instructed
to use every means to carry out the
regulations and to bring to trial any
offenders that may be guilty of
breaking any of them. Complaints
of the shooting of wild fowl with ma-
chine guns from airplanes were re-
ceived some time ago by the Depart-
ment of Agriculture from several
places along the Atlantic coast. The
attention of the War Department was
called to the fact that such shooting
was in violation of the Federal mi-
gratory bird law enacted last year to
give effort to the treaty between the
United States and Great Britain.
Gardens Will Be Profitable This Year
The home gardens is likely to
prove a profitable investment of ef-
fort this year as it has for the past
several seasons, in the opinion of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The experience of the past
few years has proved that persons
who have sufficient land and spare
time and who do their home garden-
ing work intelligently and efficiently
find it profitable. The relatively high
prices of practically all foodstuffs
tend to increase the saving effected,
but the home garden should be
planned with a view to meeting the
family needs rather than of produc-
ing crops for sale on the market.
Growing Avocados in United States
Twenty-three varieties of avocados
have been introduced into the United
States from Guatemala and are now
being grown by the United States
Department of Agriculture in Cali-
fornia and Florida. Some of these
give promise of successful cultivation
in this country. To assist prospective
avocado growers in the United States
in growing this delicious fruit, some-
tmes erroneously called “alligator
pear,” the United States Department
of Agriculture has recently published
public every dooryard has a few avo-
cado trees which furnish shade and
fruit, and it has a more important
place in the diet of the natives than
the banana. The Cargadores or com-
mon carriers of Guatemala make

{ Oklahoma County Out for Rabbits
| Beaver County, Okla., started a
seven days’ drive on jack rabbits
January Fifty prizes, ranging
from $1 to $50, were to be awarded
to the stockmen accounting for the
quarantine in
the amount of 0,000 to $75,000.
Hunts and drives are held each win-
ter, and although thousands of the
rabbits are killed, new hordes soon
appear. A Hutchinson (Kans.) con-
cern is dressing and shipping large
numbers of’ jack rabbits to eastern
cities where there is a good demand
for them. The county pays a bounty
of 3 cents a scalp in order to pro-
mote the extermination of the pests.
More Dairy Cows Go To Florida
If dairy cows publish a newspaper
a large part of the society column
would be taken up at this time with
notices of members of noted dairy
families leaving their homes in the
North to spend the winter in the
winter, and it is probable that they |
will like their new homes so well that
they will not return. A campaign is

ports of other dairy products. Much
of this may be due to abnormal war
demands, but the United States De-
partment of Agriculture believes that |
there is both an opportunity and a
tendency to expand in this direction
over prewar requirements. A nor-
mal increase in dairying in this
country, the department thinks, is
fully justified, provided there is the
necessary increase in feed crops.
Sugar Ample But Abnormally
Distributed
The prospective production of
sugar for the season of 1918-19 is
about 188,000 short tons less than
the annual average for the five years
just before the war which, as com-
pared with a total of 18,750,000 short
tons, is not of great significance, and
the current crop is regarded by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture as practically sufficient to meet
a normal world consumption even if
present stocks did not exist. Atten-
tion is called to the fact, however,
that the world sugar supply is not
normally distributed. There is a
shortage in the beet-sugar production
in Europe of 50 per cent of the
prewar average, amounting to about
4,150,000 tons, while in the same
time the cane sugar output has in-
creased by 3,842,000 tons, and the
beet sugar crop of the United States
is 131,000 tons above the prewar
average, though the smallest since
1914. No considerable increase in
beet sugar production is expected
within the next 12 months, though
it is expected ultimately to exceed
that of prewar times.
“Kaiser” Pea Changes Its Name
armers who want to buy quantities
of the variety of field pea introduced
several years ago by the United
States Department of Agriculture
from German, and then known as the
“Kaiser” pea, will save trouble by
not using that name any more. These
peas are now known as ‘“McAdoos,”
and they are as widely distributed
through the Northwest ‘as Liberty
bonds, which caused the substitution
in nomenclature.
Many Farmers Apply for Seed Loans
’ A large number of Montana and
North Dakota farmers have made
application for seed grain loans from
the fund provided by the President
to aid farmers in drouth-stricken
areas. The Great Falls, Mont., office
of the Seed Grain Loan of the United
States Department of Agriculture re-
ports up to January 18, applications
from 1,585 Montana farmers in
amounts totaling $590,720 and from
tana applicants represent an acreage
of 118,144 an dthe North Dakota ap-
plieants an acreage of 14,974.
