f    ?     The Melancholy Days Have Come
SEE GREAT DAMAGE
BY BOIStER IN CORN
Large   Group   oif   Farmers   Inspect
, Methods Used to Lessen Damage.
The .destruction caused by the 'Europeancorn borer was seen by 500
peopjle at a demonstration held in
the "vicinitiy   of   Monroe October 21.
A five acre field owned by Joe Be-
nore showed a total icrop loss. Every stalk in this field contained from,
one ta forty Efc-ecimiens, of the borer.
Prof. J. F.. Cox was in charge of
the day's pix-gram* and introduced
Dean R. S.. Shaw, Prof. TL H.--Pettit,
'Proif, H. H. Musselman. George Gett-
mlan, Specialist im tigriduiltaral engineering, all from- Michigan- State, college; J. A. Harmon, entomologist
from the TJ, S. Department of Agriculture,-and A. C. Carton from the
State Department of AgricultjUre.
Thqae -men all gave their views of
the serioushess .of the situation that
laicea Michigan and' the United States.
Tihey agreed that only the maximum
us© qf all availahle means of control cquld prevent the rapid spread
ofi the European corn borer. .■-.-
Ah exhibition was given, of the ima^.-
dhinies which are of. greatest use in
control work.... A 1J>W cutting attachment fo>r corn binders and; a stubble
puKverizer were the only specially
designed imialchines shown. The ensilage cutter and th.eacorn husker
and shredder destroy nearly all the
borers_in material run through these
machines. The fermentation in sil-
age destroys all borers in silage-.
Plowiig down does ,not kill borers in
corn-stubble.
State laws give the State Department the : power to enforce quarantine laws and to compel the clearing up -of fields which are infested
with corn borer. This clean up work
must be done bdfore May 25. The
state of Michigan needs the active
aid of every available agency to prevent very serious damage to a crop
which was worth 50,000,000 dollars
last year.

THE MICHIGAN HIGH
SCHOOL DEBATING LEAGUE
The Michigan" High School Debating League was organized by the
board of regents of the "University of
Michigan in 1917, and this year begins its tenth year of activity.
'Any four year high school student
in-the state (may become a ftnembeir of
the League by sending ia fee of two
dollars to G. E. Densmore, manager.
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor,
Michigan.   '      ,
Applications for membership .will
be received up to. and including,
October 25.
Debates are sponsored by ' the
League, and each school will participate in the four preliminary debates.'
o£ the League.. Those schools winning the highest records in the preliminary debates will enter the elimination Series which will by successive debates, reduce these schooils to
two schools which will icome to Ann
Arbor for the state championship de*-
bate in May. -
The dates for the preliminary debates will be as follows: First, November 1ST;" second, December 10; third,
January 14; fourth, February 11.
The question to be debated this
year is, "Resolved, That the United
States Government Should Own the
Goal Mines."
BnroUmicnt for the League are coming in rapidly. Many new schools,
never before in the League, have applied^ for membership this -year. The
enrollment today is^ ahead of the enrollment a year* ago today, and it is
expected that the enrollment for the
year will exceed the total enrollment
of last year which numbered 200
high schools. *-
• Not All Legumes Like Lime
Legumes as a rule take large quantities of lime from the soil. In fact
maiiy such wops do not grow well or
not at all whrre acid conditions exist. This is particularly true of alfalfa and- rod' clover and pr-rhDjJs- to
a less degree of .sweet clover and
vetch. "Cowpeas and soybean,-*, on the
other hand, usually do not respsnd
to lime, and white clover grows well
on acid soils. Corn is ordinarily
considered to ibe tolerant of-'acid conditions, and such grasses as redtop,
Bermuda .grass,- and Jefipedezti grow
weill on acid -soils. Bog plants, such
as blueberries and cranberries, require an acid* soil, and such fruits as
strawberries' and 'raspberries are not
benefitted by applications of lime.
The great majority of garden and
truck crops and cereals usually are
iftyprcved 'by .liminsr.
HOG CHOLERA WORST IN FALL
Hag •eholara destroys about 80 per
cent of all* the hogs dying from disease in the United States. No specific cure for the disease is known.
All so-sc'alled hog-cholera medicines
are a snare and a delusion. The
"anti-cholera serum," evolved by the
Federal' Bureau Of Animal' Industry,
is the only reliable preventive
agent, Thjs serum is now .manufactures by several-state; Institutions and
by private licensed firms by ithe Secretary of Agriculture for the purpose.
The diseaste attains its greatest height
during September, October and Np-
vanj>er, d'ing down rapidly,after this
tiime. particularly after snow falls,
and- reaching its lowest point during
February.
Repents from the field which Teaieh
the Department of Agriculture indicate that there are outbreaks of hog
cholera at present in a number of
states and that V>wing to a scarcity of
anti-hog-cholera Serum, many hogs
pre dying of the disease. During the
past five years there has been o m-
paratively little cholera in the country and as a result the hog growers
have not been immunizing their hogs
as in previous years, now a large
proportion .of the hogs that are being
fattened for -market are susceptible.
Seru.ru producers are doing everything possible to meet the* demand f-*-'

KNOW HOW YOUR
PRODUCE IS WEIGHED
A farmer is entitled to know how
his produce is weighed. He will
count his money for corn or livestock
-sold, and it is just ft^TeassffatolS'' -says
C. A. Briggs. of the United States D$i
partment of Agriculture for him -to
know how the scale is used in .getting
the weight.
In weighing a thousand-pound
steer it is not difficult at times to
weigh with a high balance so that the
weight shown is ten pounds less than
the correct amount, and-usually this
will go unchallenged. At a priice of
10 cents per pound the ten pounds
moans $1, which is more than ample
to oover the total of the yardage and
feed charges for tbe animal at a
stockyard. This is about 1 per cent
of the price of the animal but it may
represent 10 per icent of the net profit
Thif* matter of weighing with a
high balance has been observed when
the weighing was not done rapidly.
In many case.**, however, the weighing
is done too rapidly. The onlooker
does not know whether the weighing
was Tone properly ox- whether the
vreighfc recorded is short ten or -more
pounds on the draft. In many oases
the beam just starts to move when
the weigher quickly ar.-ests it 'by,
throwing the latch at the end of the
b.?am', and the beam has not clearly
indicated, the balance. Of en the farmer sees this and in his own mind
question's the accuracy of the weight
but for lack of confidence and want
of knowledge he does not find himself in a position to raise any questions.
This quick weighing is w ong. The
weighing should be done 'so that the
-■.haraicter of the balance is apparent
to any observer.
Tlie proper manner to weigh is
to balance the beam' Bo that it has
neither a high nor low (balance; zo
that it swings evenly between the top"*
and bottom, of the loop. In type reg-
site-ring beams the weight indication changes- in steps according to the
type figures. In such cases' the reading should ftje used which will Jwing
the beam -nearest to an even balance.
